Driving Out the Cattlemcn.

immigration Is coming with a resstlcss
tide. Ex-Governor Routt, one Of the great
cattle owners OF the west, when speaking Of
how the ranges were being so rapidly set
tied. recently said: The cow mus. give way
TO Nancy and the baby" The first indica-
ton of the coming Of this great tide Of i'm
migration wa, manifested by cattlemen put
ting up wire fences and nclosing vast areas
Of land. This sufiiced for a time but immi
grafton still continued, and then after much
litigation the courts said: Take down your
wire fences" As the cattlemen occupied
these great ranges for quarter OF century
before 1t was ever thought possible for them
to have any value for agricultural purposes,
It Is not strange that they should have made
the determined fight they have. The plow-
share now glistens in the old American
Desert and the old cattle trails are being
turned into farms. The east can hardly
realize the wonderful changes that are TAX
ing place Within twenty-five years the
buffalo, which used TO roam these plains by
the tens Of thousands are almost extinct
The great herds OF the cattle kings took the
place OF the bison, but now the cattle ranges
are being turned into farms.
what VIII DC the resultf The general inn
preston is that there will DO more cattle, but
With moro owners. the public domain will
soon all be taken, which will ncccssita,e the
dividing and subdividing OF the great herds.
The result will come about in a natural way
and without loss, but rather with profit As
the grazing area becomes more circumscribed
tine greater the necessity for winter feeding
and the production Of some kind Of feed that
will more readily prepare stock for the
market Such feed consists OF alfalfa,
sorghum hay, johnson and other varieties Of
farm grasses, oil cake, roots, etc, while in
parts Of western and southern Texas prickly
pear IA species Of cactD is being largely used
with cotton seed meal or Oil cake, with
which it is claimed cattle may be easily fat
tened. The beef from animals thus fed is
said to be Of most excellent quality and
favor.-Denver Cor Globe Democrat

Horace Greeley in California

Greeley was revelation to California

land trip in the early fall think 1t was
in 1859. He had been advertised to speak,
and went direct from the stage coach to
the hall, where large audience was i'm
patiently awaiting him.
Without removing his hat, which
perched as usual on the back of his head,
Mr.. Greeley, in his long white overcoat,
STROBE down the aisle amid thunders of
applause Still keeping his hat upon his
head, he was introduced TO the chairman
of the meeting. and turned to speak AS
he did so he took off his hat, but began
talking as he did so, and not knowing ex-
actly where to place it, put it on the desk
before him. The sight Of this uncouth,
odd. earnest man, queeriy CARRIED, with
odd gestures, instructing and entertain
ing large mass of his fellow men for an
hour and a half, was most suggestive.
As he proceeded, warming with his sub
ject, continuing his talk, he took off his
overcoat. and tossed 1t on Il chair in the
rear.
He made great hit, with the old timers.
especially, and during his brief stay was
lionized to his hearts content. say to
his hearts content because there was
great deal of human nature in Greeley.
He was much more partial to praise, and
much more easily affected by it than many
people imagine.-Joe Howard in Once .

A Million of Years.

To the human understanding the vast
stretches Of time involved in geological
history are utterly incomprehensible. 1t
is not easy, indeed, to form all idea of
what period even million Of years is,
though Croll tells Us how striking i'm
preston of such lapse may be conveyed to
he mind. Stretch piece of paper eighty
three feet four inches long around the
walls Of a room somewhat over twenty
feet square, recall the events Of life to
give some conception Of hundred years
and then consider tnat a mark one tenth
Of an inch broad at one end of the paper
represents the century, while the whole
strip gives place for only million years!
This illustration is worth trying.
Could we stand, continues the author
of Climate and Time" upon the edge of
a gorge, mile and half in depth, that
had been cut out of the solid rock by a
tiny stream scarcely visible at the bottom
of this terrible abyss, and were We informed
that this little streamlet was able to wear
off annually only one-tenth Of an inch from
its rocky bed, what would our conception
be of the prodigious length Of
time that this stream must have
taken to excavate the gorgeY We
should certainly feel startled on finding
that the stream had performed this enor
nous amount of work in something less
than a million of years. - Arkansaw

EFFECTS OF CITY LIFE.
Lack OF Arm and Shoulder Exercise In.
cessInt Noise Shock.

An English physician OF distinction, DR.
latter b. Platt, contributes TO The Popula
Science Monthly suggestive paper on Ger
tain Injurious Influences Of City Life Ill

The disuse OF the arms for any considerable,
muscular exertion 10y the great majority Of
men ana women. q The incessant noise OF

spinal cord by continual treading upon pave

The effect OF these influences according 10
Dr flatt, Is TO undermine the stability OF
Tue nervous system and to impair the circu-
ation and general nutrition. These effects
accumulate with each successive generation
OF city dwclcrs and it is asserted that there
are very few antilles now living in London
who, with their predecessors. have resided
there continuously for three generations.
In regard to the lack of arm and shoulder
exercise, the doctor points out that it has an
important bearing on the general health of
both men and women, since it increases the
capacity Of tue chest and thereby the surface

ticles from the ground while riding by at

covering the end Of the rope attached to

that every cowboy must learn TO do 50
that if after lassoing the steer the end Of
the lariat should slip from his hand he
can recover it while both he and the steer
are going full speed.
