A nni Injurious TO stookmen.

Representative Carter Is preparing to
fight bill introduced some time ago
and now before tho committee on agri-
culture, designed to prevent stock from
grazing or pasturing on the public do
mains. II provides that each head of
stock grazing upon the lands of the
United States shall be subject
to tax OF 81 n head for
each year, aud that this tax
shall be a lien upon the stock so past
urrd, II makes no difference whether
the lands are wanted for settlement or
not, 1t does not apply to stock that is
driven or transported across the land.

In tho Interest. Of settlers.

Representative Lind, OF Minnesota
distinguished himself in the house to-
day. The bill which provides for the
compulsory attendance of witnesses be-
fore land officers, or before persons au-.
thotised to take testimony in land cases,
was under consideration. Mr.. Lind op-
posed the measure, on the ground that
Il gave the land sharks an opportunity
to bring contests against honest settlers,
and compel witnesses to attend, while
under the voluntary sy stem settlers were
always willing to testify IN favorof their
neighbor-, Tho settlers, he said,
never had any trouble in getting
witnesses. When land shark came
into the community and tried to get a
mans homestead, or pre-cmption claim,
he could get witnesses. All reputable
men could always get voluntary wit
nesses. The bill was laid aside before
any action was taken, but it is quite
likely that the opposition which lac
stirred up will prevent its passage.

Millet is an important crop, and

As soon as the warm days come on

Various tests show that the cost
of the production of milk differs
greatly in COWS, some COWS produc-
ing milk at cost of one-third that
produced from others. The impor-
lance of using only the best COWS is
plainly shown by the differences in
the cost. The yield of milk does
not always give the true value of the
animal. The only mode of determin-
ing the profit is to keep a record OF
the receipts and expenses of each
COW.
