Charley Meadow, the expert cowboy
 from Arizona who left with the Wild
 West show 10 visit Australia, says in a
 letter to the Republican:
 We gave our first Wild West enter
 tainment iu eonjuction with the circus in
 Auckland to an apprectative audience of
 1000 people. Aereat deal of the wild American conceit was taken out of us by the fearless riding of the New Zealand young ladies who seemed to think ii nothing 10 jump, while riding at full speed. stone walls, high fences and fallen trees. When the wild horses were turned into the arena and the lassoIne was announced wild yell of "brayop went up from every throat, and whether we scored catch or a miss, we were applauded just the same. Although this is one of the leading stock countries of the world, they had never seen the lasso thrown.

FEED COLTS WE'LL.
Taken Care Of the First Year They
Afterwards Thrive.

If there is one thing more than any
other that breeders, both large and
small, should be impressed with, that
thing is feed the colts. says the Sport
ing Life 1t is an old saw that says
.'no food. no horse" and new one
might be coined to read. .'no colt, no
horse" With equal applicability. In
this age we not only claim to be horse
men, but friends to the equine family,
and yet the number of colts that are
allowed 10 perish or become useless
from neglect in this country every year
would mount the kings cavalry"
We have known colts for which ser
vice fee of from $50 TO 5000 had been
paid to be roughed through their first
winter (aS their lazy or careless owners
would say to make them hardy i'll such
a manner that they would not only
grow any, but would become so stunted
that they would either die toward spring
or would always belittle scrawny things
that never bring the price of ser
vice fee; and it is remarkable what
faculty most men who winter their col
in this condition have for laying this
ScraWEiAeSS to the WorthlpSSnesS of
the sire.
TO reach stage of perfection and
usefulness al maturity, colt should G
kept growing every day from birth 10
maturity, and this can only be done
with healthy, nutritious food and plenty
of it, Many mares are poor suckers,
and when this is the case, the colt
should have an additional allowance of
cows milk, and he taught to eat oats,
shorts, bran, etc, while quite young. 1t
is remarkable how young a colt can be
taught TO ear, and how well twill do Oh
the food Indicated.
All colts should be taught to relish
Shelled oats, ship stuff" chopped
feed etc, before weaving. and if given
this Kind OF other nutritious food in
proper quantities and with regularity
during the first winter a good growth
will be made: and, with plenty of grass
during The following summer, he will
be well grown before the second winter
comes on HIM. During the Fl st winter
Of 4 colts life Tor for that matter any
winter of Its life, the quantity of food
given is not near SO important as quail
ity and mode Of feeding.
It has been noticed that some feeders
can get along with much less feed and
have their stock i'll much finer con-
dition than others can; and this is be-
cause the former knows how to feed,
, and it is as important to know how to
feed as it is to know what to feed. 1t
is not so much our object in this short
notice TO teach how to feed and what to
feed as it is to impress upon the minds
of our readers the necessity of giving
attention to this subject at this partlcu-
lar season of the year. Rational thought
is the article sought for.

RAILROADS.
An Important Amendment Con-
corning Them Rejected.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 3I.-ln the senate
the amendment of the committee on APP
preparations (1hich was under discus
sion last Friuay) to strike out the pro-
vision that government transportation
on land-aided railroads shall not eX-
coed 80 per cent of the charges to pri-
vate parties was agreed to. The ques-
ton then came up on the anne ndment of
the committee to insert the provision
that government transportation on land
aided railroads shall be paid for on such
basis as the secretary of war may
deem just and reasonable, not
to exceed 70 per cent of the charges for
like service to private parties. Mr.. Cor
man made all argument 10 show the alb
solute njustice of the proposition as it
came from the house, and to show that
even the 20 per cent restriction pro-
posed by the committee amendment
would be destructive to the interests of
the American transcOntinental lines,
while it would operate TO the advantage
of the largely subsidized lines of Can
ada. Mr.. Regain argued In favor of en-
forcing against the Canadian roads that
carried freight and passengers from one
part of the United States to another
part of the United States the same pro-
visions of law that are enforced against
the American lines.
Mr.. W ashburn spoke of the great i'm
portance to the Northwestern states of
the Canadian Pacific railroa DIS, and said
that those states would not submit to
any change in existing conditions that
would rob them of the advantages which
they thought had been secured to them.
What they wanted was the cheapest
possible transportation. Mr.. Cullom
expressed the opinion that there was
nothing in the pending amendment that
justified any general discussion of
interstate commerce, or commerce
with foreign nations. He hoped
to have an opportunity to
bring these subjects to the attention of
the senate before the 18th of March. Mr..
Power moved to attend the committee
amendment by reducing the limitation
from 20 per cent to so per cent; and on
that he demanded the yeas and nays.
He had suggested, in the course of Mr..
Germans remarks, that it was for the
interest of the people of Montana to
have cheap government transportation,
because then they would have a better
chance of having troops sent there.
The amendment was rejected-yeaS
(Cockrell, Davis and Power. nays AZ.
The committee amendment was then
agreed to and the bill was passed.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 3l.-Alvin q. Hartley
of Guthrie, Ok, one of the original Ok
lahema boomers, has arrived in ST.
Louis from the Cherokee strip toomers
camp. e
Il was astonished to find how many
of the old set are with the present id
vaders," he said. ''There are lot of
restless spirits on the frontier who aEe
always engaged in such enterprises
The present expedition certainly mealfs
business. and unless decisive measures
are taken to prevent it before aii@
other week has passed, they viii
have all the best land in the Cherokee
strip located. Their claim is that tie
land is now the property of the
United States, part of the public domain
and subject to pre-emption and homes
stealing, as other parts of the public
lands are. They maintain that the in
terror department cannot prevent entry
being made by simply Withholding the
proclamation opening the territory
They intend to go in and take up claims
unless forcibly kept out. and, as mat
ter of fact, great many have already
slipped across the line and are on the
ground now. To eXpel them will prove
a very difficult task, unless the military
are called in. The party, for an organs
ization of the kind, is surprisingly we'll
equipped. There must be fully. 500
wagons and several thousand animals.
The plan that many intend to pursue is
to erect buildings at once and make i'm
proyements as rapidly as they can,
trusting that the United States will not
order wholesale destruction of property
if it Is decided to try and expel them"

working season. Many a time when
coming back from market farmers have
overtaken me and gone by slap bang,
only to be overtaken themselves by my
fast walking team before they reached
the top of the next hill. When they
stopped trotting their horses Stacked up
to about half the rate of speed that
mine kept steadily. | have always
thought that | get around just as
quickly i'll the long run and with
a saving of horse flesh and wagons.
by not trotting a step when doing
heavy team work, that is where the
horses are trained to walk fast and
know that IS the only gait that will be
required of them. 1t is called twelve
miles from my house to Akron. The
last three teams have had walked it in
three hours and ten minutes, coming
home. Going requires thirty to sixty
minutes more on account of steep hills.
This when they went over the same
road every day in the month.
At home on the farm we never work
the horses more than eight or ten hours
a day, and for this length Of time they
will keep pretty we'll up towards the
four miles an hour gait when drawing
many of our tools. | saw men moving
last summer behind slow, moping
horse, cuitivating corn or potatoes. My
man, behind Il free walking horse, cas-
lily cultivated seven acres of our narrow
rows one way in day OF about nine
hours. The other man will get over
about three acres. Which do you
choose? The fast walking would
throw dirt over the little
plants, you say. Nc, we have on
purpose teeth so narrow that they can
not throw dilt,so as to accomplish twice
as much in day. Another good plan,
after you get your horses trained to
walk fast, is to never hold them in, on
the cultivator or plow, or any other
tool unless it be necessary; let them
work at natural gait. How it pro-
vokes me to see a man make free
walking horse drag him along to the
reinI l will not allow my horses dis
couraged. When blowing or cultivat-
ing, after getting started we always
hang the reins loosely Oh the handles of
DiOW or cultiVatOr.
