APHENoMENoN IN JOURNALISM.

In the fall of 1884 there was a farm
er's paper established at Minneapolis,
containing 16 pages, 81 columns, and
published two times monthly at a
subscription price of only so cents a
year. So ridiculously cheap did this
price appear that its early death was
frequently and openly predicted.
However, its fearless attacks upon
the many organized wrongs which op-
pressed the farmers of the Northwest,
and its general excellence, convinced
them of it's loyalty to their cause and
its value as an educator, and induced
such liberal support that the most
successful and popular farm paper in
this country is now Farm Stock and
Home. By a special arrangement
with the publishers we can furnish it
in connection with the TRIBUNE for
one year, to all who pay in advance,
for $500. Every farmer should have

was invested with this ornate equipment

drawings exist is of considerable size
and within a short distance o. the high

exposure to the weather and upon ITS

ENOUGH CATTLE ON THE
RANGES

The Stockman says there seems to be
n decided opinion that there are already
enough cattle on the ranges of the coun.
t ry, and it is asserted by those in a posi-
ton to know, that it is time to call a
halt. The reasons they assign are GER.
tainly weighty, and ought to convince
t he most skeptical. This verdict obtains
not merely among our own stockmen,
but, as we learn from our exchanges,
prevails on most of the other ranges of
the country. 1t is stated that there are
now enough cattle, horses and sheep to
consume all the grass that grows. Even
with the number now on the range, each
little drought produces an outcry about
overstocked grazing grounds, and the
slightest indication of a hard Winter
sends our stockmen into a furry. Every
year the fact is becoming more apparent
that the ranges of the s~agebrush country
are deteriorating, and as overproductior
seems TO be in order, it will not be many
years before the occupation OF most o.
our stockmen will be gone unless they
heed the signs CT the times.

TUESDAY NOVEMBER 80, 1886.
AN INTERESTING WILL.

The Terry will, says the New York
Herald, which came up in the Sur.
rogate Court, has some peculiar features.
1t is a joint will, made by the husband
and wife, and disposes of an estate esti.
mated at fifty million dollars. Here is
an interesting clause:
Third We declare that when we con-
tracted marriage, /, Don Tomas Terry,
brought into the marriage the sum OF
$50, 900 in gold, and Dona Teresa Dorticos,
only a young negress. called Maria del
Carmen, now dead; and whereas we have
not afterward acquired any other property
which should BIZ applied TO the particular
patrimony Of any one OF us, therefore,
with the exception OF the aforesaid $780,
900, all the properties that may appear at
the date OF tho death of any one of us are
profits of the conjugsl society.
Another noteworthy provision is that
in which Don Tomas Terry bequeaths to
his wife and two sons three hundred
thousand dollars in Spanish gold, "to
the end that they should employ it for a
purpose which l have secretly intrusted
to them; and my heirs or their legitimate
representatives shall not at any time,
nor in any form whatsoever, be entitled
to oppose this legacy nor to demand ex
plantations about the investments that
may be given to this sum-"
Joint wills of husband and wife are
common under the Spanish law in con.
formity with which this will was drawn.
They are rare in this country. But even
under the Spanish law the j%ointure is
more o matter of form thar substance.
1t is practically the husbands will. The
requests take ELECTION his death.
