Buy THE BULLS NOW

There is hardly a ranchman or
even cattle raiser on a small
scale who does not need to make
addition to his herd in the way OF
other and better bulls. Even
where the bulls are in sufficient
number they are not as good as
they shohld be, besides many OF
them have been in the herd much
lorger than they should have been
and ought to be taken out. In
most instances even where scrubs
are used there are not enough OF
them. Those who insist upon
holding to the scrubs should keep
plenty of them and change them as
often as every three years, while
those who want to keep up with
the demands of the times, and who
want to get all the pleasure, re.
spectibility and profit there is IN
the business out of OF it, will also
follow the above suggestions as to
number and changes. but will OF
course buy the best bulls obtaina
ble and not be content with any
other kind.
1t is not the intention, however,
Of the journal at this particular
time to discuss the profit and I'M
portance of using only good bulls,
but merely to advise those who are
needing or who will in the near
future find it necessary to buy
bulls. to secure them now Thor
oughbred bulls can be bought now
for from rs to 80 per cent less
than will be required to pay for
them one year hence. Cattle OF
all kinds will soon rapidly advance
in price. In fact the appreciation
in values has already set in and
when once fairly begun will apply
to all classes and kinds OF cattle,
and in no one class will rapid
advance be more noticeable than in
thoroughbred bulls. Eor this rea-
son. now is the time to buy, and
those who fail to take advantage OF
the present low prices will naks
mistake they will regret whsn 1t

On the north fork of the Red
River.ln the Indian Territory, has
lately been found unmistakable
evidences of a town which had
once been occupied by civilized
people, presumably the Spnaiards.
There are ruins of buildings, many
broken vessels and crucibles are
scattered around, and there are
unmistakable evidences of mining
and smelling. The town probably
had a population of nearly thous-
and the Indians in the:vlcinlty say
that a strange people built the
town and were engaged ln mining
but that they were all massacred
over fifty years ago. Among the

from the town, was found an
abandoned shaft from which sam

It may not be generally known
that Mexico has had and has now
the free coinage of silver similar
in its workings to the proposed
silver coinage law in the United
States. In discussing the agita-
ton now in progress In this coun-
try over the free coinage OF silver,
the Two Republics, of the city OF
Mexico, says While all this
battling is going on abroad about
the white metal, Mexico Is quietly
taking the silver out OF her mines
and having il coined in her mints
The producer or owner pays the
cost with little profit to the mint
and receives his dollars with the
eagle and old serpent clearly
shown on them and is perfectly
contented and happy, conscious
that he is personally gradually
getting wealthy and the nations
credit steadily growing on the
basis Of the dollar THAT almighty
old Mexican dollar.
