To-day is the last day of the roundup,
the work being finished at Sully creek
ranch. 0nlYatwenty-two days were con-
sumed Work; a shorter time than
any Bad &iils roundup has yet taken.
The boys all worked well and the only
rest they had was one day of on account
of pouring rain. Five hours sleep
was a rarity, tho average being nearer
four. On several occasions dinner, or at
least the second meal of the day, was
served at seven o'clock in the morning.
There was not moments waste time
except at meals and working hours were
from seventeen to eighteen hours day.
The most os the boys, having so little use
for their beds, wanted to trade them of
for lanterns. At least they said they
did. 1t has long been recognized as an
impossible task to make a perfectly clean
roundup Of the Bad Lands. Cattle will

NJ. Wadsworth, of the Bad Lands cattle
Co., has experimental with several diff
ferent kinds of grasses this year. Al
falfa and millet bid fair to do the best,
but our recent dry spell killed nearly all
of the latter. 1t started we'll and
with all the way from twelve to
twenty stalks to tile seed but as stated,
was badly ninped by the drouth. The
alfalfa, on the other hand has done
splendiillY from the start. 1t started
out we'll and has kept green and grow
ing through the dry weather that even
Drowned the native grasses. OF course
the experiment is not yet conclusive,
but it goes a long way to prove all that
the advocates of alfalfa have claimed for
it. As before stated in the Cow Boy, in
at least ten cases throughout Dakota,
alfalfa has been a gratifying success.
In not one case coming to our notice has
it proved a failure. This season will
finally decide the matter. as all over
Dakota, alfalfa is now growing and we
certainly expect that it will prove to be
all that is claimed for it; the forage
plant par excellence. ,.. r--..ss;.. .,;,99q

The rains of Friday, Saturday, Sunday
and Monday have put an entirely differ
ent complexion OH the feed question.
In themselves, they guarantee that there
will be sufficient grass for grazing pur-
poses, but the nay question is still far
from being settled. The grass has un-
doubteGly taken fresh start, but wheth-
er there will be enough fer hay is Doubt
full. In some favored localities we have
good crop, but these spots are less than
an acre generally in extent and are
widely scattered. These facts bring for
ward more prominently than before, the
question of raising tame lay for ranch
use. AS we have often said, there is no
avoiding this issue. There are getting
to be so many cattle in the Bad Lands,
that the grass is not given chance to
attain its full growth. Hereafter, even
moderately dry season will show short
age or total lack Of hay. This summon
and coming winter are good times for
our cowmen to carefully ponder this
subject.

+ War has begun on rates between st.
Paul and Chicago. The rate some time
ago was $14.25. which has now been re-
reduced to $500. This is owing to the
fact that the Northwestern and Milwau-
kee roads have put on fast trains, max
ing better time than is possible for the
Rock Island which has 1870 miles longer
haul. To meet the reduced time, the
Rock Island has cut rates. which are now

The St. Paul stock-market scheme
seems to be entirely thing of the past.
The Cow Boy did not see at the time the
plan was first brought up how it could
possibly lie a success and stated fully its
reasons for its belief. The real origin of
the whole plan, we firmly believe, was
land speculation. Several interested per-
sons had n block of land that would
bring a good price for stock yards and
wished to make sale. Hence their
solicitous care to relieve the stockmen
from the Chicago monopoly. But there
happened to be other blocks of land near
St. Paul, with owners equally anxious
to make sales and as the matter was get
ting to a question of bidding and a con-
sequent reduction in price, the original
movers are beginning to think that they
will let the cattlemen struggle on a
while longer. Humanity is all right as
long as it is money-making scheme
but it lacks lots of being popular when
it is not. .-{VT

from McGinness, makes a big bid for

we'll known as one Of the best cow-puncll-
ers in the Yellowstone country. In the
morning as they started out, Jess jumped
up a jack-rabbit, Hastily grabbing his
rope he threw it and heeled Mr.. j. Kab-

performed on a steer. Of course there
was considerable luck il the throw, but
all who know Jess, swear that he could
do it if any one could.

roundup all the country east, going as
far. as the Missouri river if necessary.
They will probably start inside of a

an immense one, extending from the
Killdeer Mts. to Cave Hills and from the
Bad Lands to the Missouri; in round
numbers about 10 miles square. 4 :.

than could possibly be expected. At
least thirty per cent. Of { four-year-old
steers would now make prime beef and
in three weeks this per cent. will be in
creased to eighty. Instead of the beef
being later this year than last, it will
probably be two weeks earlier.

Q. Be careful of books, toys cats and
dogs which may have been handled by a

3. If any one visits such a case, he
should battle, disinfect and change his
clothing before going where there are chill
dren.
4. Beware of anyone with a sore throat
do not kiss such person, or drink from
the same cup or put any thing into your
mouth he may have handled.
5. When diphtheria is present in your
neighborhood, beware of taking children
to crowded assemblies in unventilated
rooms.
6. See that your house, cellar and yard
are kept perfectly clean, and your living
and sleeping rooms are well ventilated.
Cleanliness, pure air and pure water are
the three great foes of this disease.
To the public these rules may seem nu-
merous and, perhaps unimportant, but the

its whole duty if it failed to point out the
best possible means known of restricting

PERSIAN STORY-TELLERS.
Country Where Modern Poetry Is De
spised and Ancient Lore Is Venerated.

A Country Where Modern Poetry Is De-
spised and Ancient Lore Is Venerated.
The story-teller is another great Per-
sian institution. The Persian is by ma
ture and inclination story-teller, and
here you will still find the gift of
charming recital, of graceful, animate
gesture, of well-modulated voice, such
as you will search in vain for else
where. On a public square, on the
ruins of some deserted houses, on the
steps of large mosque, the story
teller will plant himself and begin, with
sonorous voice and sweeping arms, a
tale from the Arabian Nights, from
Persia's legendary history, from the
great national poets, or he will recite,
in voice vibrating with the emotions
he speaks of, page after page from
Hafz, Saadi or Djellal- Rumee.
He will do this in such way as to in
tensely interest his audience. quickly
formed, so that they are as much eX-
cited and interested as the Sultan was
in Scheherazade's tales, when he, like
her, breaks off the thread, to be taken
up after the collection his assistants
make with the "kaeshkhull" (hollowed
cocoanuD has yielded what he deems
his due.
Some o. these fellows, haggard,
ragged, their cheeks followed by too
much "bheng" (hasheesh smoking),
are natural poets. men of gifts, but
there is no other channel for them to
get rid of the divine afflatls. for
modern poetry is despised in Persia,
and the poet of the present is even
worse off in Persia to-day than in the
days of Haiiz, who was also often near
starvation point.
The 'louters' are peculiar kind of
people, always in alliance and on terms
of intimacy with the story-tellers.
They are jugglers, straightforward per-
formers, clowns, prize-fghters, etc.,
are very quarrelsome, are nearly all
unbelievers and atheists, and hail
generally from Shiraz, Farsistan and
the whole south of Persia. They are
tramps, never marry, let their hair
grow, carry always the "khandshar"
(curved dagger, eighteen inches long)
in their "kamerbund' (belt) and are
quick to take offense and fight. They
are always up to mischief, secretly
excite revolts and big fights, and are
in for anything which will give them
chance to spill blood. From their
ranks generally the professional rob-
bers and thieves graduate, and their
strolling life makes it difficult for the
authorities to keep track of them OF
arrest them when they have done some
big deed of darknesss.-Wof Von

THE WEED NUISANCE.
The Only Way to Rid Farm From All
Sorts of Weeds.

Sorts of Weeds.
1t is related in California paper
that Cinnamon are making money in
California going over stacks of straw
abandoned by farmers and clearing out
the mustard-seed in them. One China
man will save 100 pounds or more a
day and make better wages from what
the white man throws away than farm
ers have made from their grain crops.
What commentary upon agricul-
ture. Money can be made in Califor-
MIA by separating mustard-seed from
the straw of the ceral grains. Mustard
seed as an independent crop is valua-
BILE one. Among other crops it is a
weed, and from its tenacity IN holding
tc the soil vile weed. This seed is
also disseminated all over the grain.
growing region of the West. The seed
holds to the soil for years, retaining
its vitality until favorable opportu-
nifty for termination takes place. The
only way to rid farm from the mus
tard pest is to SOW only clean seed from
year to year, and to be sure that none
is carried back to the soil in the straw
or other trash from the grain.
This may be accomplished in two
ways-either by burning the straw and
using the ashes. or by thoroughly de-
composing until fully rotted. This
takes time and labor, but wherever
manure is valuable twill pay.
What is here said of the seed of mus
tard will apply to the seeds of other
weeds. They are carried to the fields
in trash and by various other means.
1t is nonsense to say that the seeds of
weeds are naturally inherent in the
SOIL They come from seed, rs do all
other annual plants, and in the case of
perennials also from the continued life
of the plants in the soil A complete
summer fallow, by which the leaves of
plants are not permitted to grow, will
kill any perennial, even the Canada
thistle. The seeds of ANIMALS once
eliminated from soil will not there
after be found unless again carried
there, and reasonably clean cultivation
will prevent their spread. - Chicago
