The Western Beef Industry,

EXTRACT from paper read by Hon.
Elijah Tilley before the Nebraska I'M
proved Stock Breeders association.]
Another cheering indication is the in
terest farmers are taking in the introduce
ton Of good beef blood into their herds.
The difference in price between high and
low grade steers is becoming more
marked every year, and if we have to
compete with the states farther east we
must bring our cattle up to the standard
to which they have theirs. The market
for prime cattle is always good, and we
must remember in breeding and feeding
that the cattle Of the plains come into
competition with our medium cattle and
tend to lower the price, while they would
not affect the price of prime cattle, and
there would be less cause to cry out re-
garding said price. =
Taking it altogether, I consider the
outlook very lattering for the future.
The day of the large ranch and the scrub
steer is past, and with the cessation of
their competition and more careful breed
ing, buying and feeding on our part, we
may look forward to more prosperous
times in the future to repay us for the
present and past depressions and dis
couragements. God speed the day.

Shall We Rnise Geesef

eA ~ ssAoo
To tell the naked truth, I could not say
that my wife's little flock of geese ever
did me or my grass any visible harm; at
any rate not enough to complain about.
They never required any attention, sell
dom anybody would steal them, and we
were never troubled about feeding them.
They seemed to be aself supporting bird.
They furnish us a fat gosling once in q
while and new nice feathers all along to
keep up our pillows and make new ones
for the children. So that I acquiesced
very quietly'to my wife's ruling and bet
ter judgment. 1t seems to me that every
farmer in the country should have his
small flock of geese, especially when he
has a running stream for them to dis
port in.
Last fall I came up with one lady who
supported a flock Of about one hundred
geese and about fifty ducks. She had
nc farm, but lived on the side of a big
mill pond and her husband was a miller.
The waste of the mill aided in the sup
port of the geese and ducks. They in
turn aided considerably in clothing and
educating the children. These are little
things, but you must remember it takes
little things and many of them to run a
country. Some farmers families derive
all Of their pin money from their feath-
ers and poultry and eggs, and are as
happy as larks in the enjoyment Of such
things as they need. Feed fewer dogs
and use a little more economy.-M. in

U. 8. Court.
TFrom SATURDAYS Daily

[From Saturdays Daily.1
At the opening Of court yesterday, Judge
Thomas presiding. on motion of Attorney
Glaspel, Mathew j. .Edgerly was admitted
a an attorney to practice in the U. s. cir
cult and district courts. 4
In the case of the United States vs.. Mar
tin Bye, confined in Jail, accused of remov-
ing goods from Indian country, the dis
trict attorney moved that a mol pros. be en-
tered, it being impossible for the govern
ment to procure the attendance Of the
principal witness necessary for, his convic-
tion. The entry was made and the pris-
oner ordered to be. discharged. -. !
The cases Of Collins vs.. the Northern Pa
cific railroad company, and Of Austin
against the same, were dismissed by agree
ment Of counsel. ,5s. ltani.a .t.a
Two cases Of the Peoples bank of st.
Paul against school districts, were passed
for the time being. @iI 90
Judge Thomas addressed to the jurymen
present some business-like and practical
remarks relative to the necessity of a
prompt RESPONSE to a summons to appear
In court for jury duty, stating that the
court had been considerably annoyed the
present term by letters from personal
friends asking, for various reasons, that
drawn jurors be excused from attendance.
He said that the court had no power to ex-
cuse on such a request and that it was i'm
perative on thejuror to present himself in

court the identical day and hour specified,
if it were possible for him to do 50. Ex-
traordinary cases would always be made
exceptions. He explained the system of
drawing juries by the jury commissioner.
ut was Important" continued the judge,
shat jurymen should be drawn from the
body of the district, and the locality where
the court happens to be held should not be
relied upon to make up a deficiency on &C.
count of de~linquencies." After other re-
marks german to the organizing and put
ting in operation the machinery Of a new
district court, there being no cases ready
for trial, the petit jury were discharged
with the thanks of the court.
Court will be kept open for several days
for the receiving and consideration of mo-
tions, and the completion of any unfin-
ished business.
Judge Thomas also announced that he
would be at home in chambers at Fargo
during the time of vacation between
courts, excepting a part Of the months of
July and August.
Judge Caldwell will remain to clean up
the business of the circuit court until this
evening. -
District Attorney Selby stated that with
the exception of the case already noted,
the other cases in his hands, six in all. had
been arranged for continuance, the parties
indicted having furnished the required
bonds.

Incubator Chickens.

Without entering into any dispute with
incubator men I wish to say that to &C.
cure the best results you cannot use a
male that is Matched by any other means
than by its mother hen. The warmth
producing incubation, being impaired b,
flesh and blood to the egg in the open, is
a far different process from the heating
of confined air and combining the eggs
therein, giving the embryo two puffs of
breath per day Of open air when the eggs
are being turned. I leave all theory
aside. say for myself, I want no male
to sire my chickens that owes its life
solely to an incubator. I believe an in
cubator Matched chick cannot as a rule
be grown as large. I believe an incu-
bator Matched hen will not lay as large
an egg as she was Matched from, the
same coming from a naturally born hen.
But in the early season, that you may
have fowls for early exhibitions and win
ter produce Of eggs for Kitchen use, you
mayand are compelled to use i%ncubators,
for at that time there are few sitting
i. hens.-I. K. Felch. < m'.. =.

Farm Horses and Colts.

Keep the work harness of farm horses
in good repair and complete. Horses
work better in whole, well fitting har-
ness than in broken, patched up ones,
and there is greater satisfaction in hand
ling them. See that the collars at
properly, and always keep them clean,
without which care sore shoulders are
sure to result. Called shoulders are
oftener the result of and, indication of
carelessness in this respect than of any
thing else. ~, ~
When training colts train them to fast
walking. A work horse that walks al
ways at a fast gait and does it naturally
and easily, as he will do if properly
trained, is worth twice as much as one
with a slow, numbering gait. On these
prairie farms where there are no natural
obstacles to encounter, it is a waste Of
time to drive slow walking teams. -Da-

The Certiorari Case.
from Tuesdays Daily,

The application for the issuance of a writ
of certiorari in the case OF the suspension
Of two of the county commissioners Messrs.
Healy and Ecklund and the appointment
OF others to take their places, was by ad-
%journment from last Friday, further argued
before Judge Winchester yesterday, Attor.
ney JamisOn, not the attorney of record, as
sumed the laboring oar by consent and ap-
prOval OF attorney Register, IN favor of the
issuance OF the writ. The attorneys op-
posed were Messrs. Edgerly and Philbrick
and after Mr.. Jamison had presented his
side of the case in the best light known to
the legal authorities within the scope of
his researches, the %gladiatorial swath of
authorities turned up from the illegal calf"
bound vOlumns, by attorney Edgerly left
nothing in sight to speak Of, to indicate
where JamisOn might look for his harvest.
There was no manifestation of Impotence
on the part Of Judge Winchester during
the long discussion and the attorneys hav-
ing closed, adjournment was taken until
ten o'clock this morning, when it is under
stood that another branch of the case pos
sibly german to the one first considered
may be argued, or as intimated by the
court a decision may be rendered on the
one already submitted. Whatever may be
the decision there is no question as to the
careful attention which the merits of the
case are receiving by the court.
