The time to dehorn cattle is before
the horns grow, and a good many
breeders OF pure bred cattle are de-
horning their calves, especially the
the bulls. Mr.. w. F. Wilcox Of Ben
son, Mimi, has a number OF young
Holstein- Friesian calves, that had
been dehorned as an experiment, and
and he will be able to supply buyers
with young herd OF these popular
dairy cattle as clear Of horns as the
polled breeds. The same experiment
is being tried by a breeder OF Holstein-
Friesians in Denver, and it is thought
that by dehorning several success sive
generations, a race OF polled cattle
will result, with all the good qualities
OF the breed as it now exists.

C.eer's Colasan.

The exact opposite OF Bellamy in
his Looking Backward. and instead
OF depicting beatific condition OF SO
ciety under the humanizilg influence
Of Nationalism. it depicts in fearfully
realistic colors, the condition q cen
fury hence under continuance Of
the present selfish and greedy system,
when all the wealth Of the world has
become concentrated as it necessar.
ily within the hands of few who
constitute a powerful and soulless
oligachy, with the press. the political
machinery, the courts and the army
in their control, and the vast mass
of the people in abject and hopeless
poverty. Splendid cities, warmed
and lighted by natural forces, ira,
versed by electric, underground, and
elevated railroads and connected by
aerial ship lines. But underneath the
glitter and splendor, a wild, desperate
discomfort and ferocious despair that
ultimately eliminates in an organic
ed rebellion the world over. Slaugh.
ter and destruction of the rich and
their property-and then the mob
gone wild-drunk with revenge
blood and riot-become utterly un'
goyernable and reign OF terror en-
sues ending with the blotting out Of
our great civilization and a return
to a savage state where every man is
against his neighbor.
1t is a powerfully written book and
very fascinating and should be read
as an earnest appeal for reform by
every thinking man and woman IN
America. His conclusions are awful,
but they are inevitable unless a
change comes over the spirit OF our
homes and that soon.-Dakota Ru-

A Woman's Tears.

A Woman's Tears.
Ihastened home one winters eve
When dark the dropping shadows fell;
I felt my soul disposed to grieve,
Yet what about / could not tell.
But grim forebodings filed my mind
OF some disaster near at hand,
My bosom to despair inclined,
My fears to fever heat were famed
hurried on with rapid pace
To reach my home and darling wife;
Ilouged to see the loving face
Which cheered and frightened up my life.
And yet there was a nameless dread
A strange misgiving in my breast,
That might find my darling dead,
Or by affection sore oppressed.
Fen was it as thought; for when
reached the house and sought my prize
found her plunged in sorrew then
The tears were streaming from her eyes.

begged her to explain her fear:
She answered with humid smile,

upon your civilization as the goths
and vandals invaded that of the de-
moralized and pampered Romans,
unless you go to the root of the evil
and apply the remedy before it is too
late.
History teaches us that in all ma
tions of antiquity, and even among
the nations and peoples of the mid
die ages, the common labOrer was a
slave.
It has only been by centuries of ex-
ertion, that baronial tyranny was
overcome and the serf emancipated.
Even in our country the struggle for
the maintenance of human slavery
only yesterday eliminated in a war
that shook the continent.
Labor is the vocation OF the mass
es OF mankind. Whether the laborer
shall be an intelligent, free citizen,
or a depressed, mentally dwarfed
slave, is a question of too much
moment to be ignored.
Either these men of toll must be
cared and provided for by equitable
legislation, or they will be utterly
unfit for any place in free govern
ment. They will either be made citi-
zens, interested in the affairs of gov
eminent, or the laws will necessarily
be made SO strong and so vigour-
ously enforced that these toilers will
sink into slavery.
And when they become slaves our
republic will have become a thing of
the past, for free people cannot
exist when the laborer is a slave.
Thinking men have realized and
sadly realized the truth of all | have
said; they have pondered long on
the subject OF remedial laws. They
have realized their necessity, but
have not come to any satisfactory

farmers, and agriculture is being aban-
