The Beef Business.

Bunches of Montana native steers are
selling for from eighteen to twenty dol
lars a head. This is good buying, for as
IN investment in two years they will
prove better than any other property
that is to be found. Within the last Two
years sheep have become about the best
paying property that could be handled.
Now every man wants to buy sheep
when they are high priced, and sell out
cattle because cattle are only bringing
fair prices.
In view of all this, the question may
not inaptly be asked, When will stock
men learn wisdom? In the light Of past
history it has ever been this way. Has
the spirit of patience in well doing fed
from the seat of reason? Do the signs of
the times, intelligently read, offer no ev-
licences that there is in the near future
probabilities and strong possibilities of a
genuine return to prices that point the
way to prosperity? Present prices for
good beef cattle are by no means to be
despised, and warrant breeders and
range cattlemen instaying with the bust
ness and in paying better prices for cattle
to increase their beef herds.-Stock

How They Manage 1t.

"Nice eggs, amt they?' said a man at
Wood River Station the other day, &C
cording to a Providence paper, as he
picked up Il sample of "hen fruit" from
a pail that a fellow passenger carried.
YES" responded the owner of the
eggs, they're pretty good looking"
"Blooded stock" he continued, "but as
I paid only twenty-five cents for them ]
guess they wouldn't hatch" "Why,
how's that?' said an ignorant city mar
who stood near. "Well, you see," re.
piled the man with the EGGS, eff these
eggs were sold for Matching they would
fetch something v one dollar a bakers
dozen, being of blooded stock, but the
supply being greater than the demand
they were sold for eating purposes at the
regular market rate of twenty-five cents.
The poultry f~ancier, though, to guard
against their use for setting, has run a
fine needle through the butt end of each
so as to just pierce the inner skin, a trick
that does away e~ffectually with all hopes
of Matching it," This little scheme of the
guileless poultry dealer to keep up the
price of Matching eggs in season was new
to the city man, but his informant sale

Good System of Earmarks.

MI. William Watson explains a sys-
tenn of earmarking which he considers
much better than tags. It consists es-
;sentially of tattooing a number inside
the ear by means of an instrument pro-
vided for the purpose.
This would be effective in the care of
sheep. but not so good for cattle. The
implement, however, is expensive, and
the application some trouble. A con-
siderable number of red polled cattle
breeders in England and this country
are using a system, equally effective for
sheep. which it seems to me is simpler,
and for cattle at least much better. It
consists merely of a system of notches
in the ear by which you can make any
number you like, from one up into the
thousands. Any punch will answer that
makes a notch or hole large enough to
see or feel distinctly. 1t may be round,
square or triangular, but the punch cut
ting a round hole is much the cheapest.
The punch used for putting in tags an
swers the purpose.
l do not know who is the author Of
the system, but | presume there is no
!patent on it. Assuming the animal to
be- looking toward you, the notches with
their values are as follows:

Blood Vessels of the Eve,

Purkinje discovered a very simple and
highly entertaining experiment by means
Of which the ~retina, with all it's veins and
blood vessels standing in relief against
it, can be thrown into the air before ones
eyes. It is called the aborescent figure, to
its likeness to a many branched tree, and
is produced in the following manner: In Il
dark room at night a candle back
ward and forward before the eyes. After
q few seconds the air will assume a reddish
appearance, and running over it in all di.
r~ections may be seen the veins and blood
vessels in bold relief, while toward the cen.
ter of the figure there rises up a dark
trunk, from which the veins branch out on
all sides.
The trunk is visible where the optic
nerve enters the eye, and this experiment
is&hieay interesting to the student as prov.
ing that the parts of the retina which
actually receive and produce the sensation
of light must lie behind the blood vessels,
since these cast their shadow on to it and
can be seen as clearly rs any other object
externally.-New York Telegram.

Great Steer.

will weigh close on to 1900 pounds, has
horns that will measure six feet from
tip to tip and has only three legs. The
hind legs are perfect, but in front there
is only n leg located in the center of
the body-on the part Of the body be-
tween where the front limbs are on an
ordinary steer-and it is about the size of
two ordinary legs. The steer is wild,
and when discovered took the lead of a
small herd of mavericks and skipped out
for a hiding place. The herd was
rounded up and branded, and a man
left in charge Of them.

FOR HENS.

These Hens Eat y Hundred Heads In
Winter and Jump Up to Get at It.
We have a small stock of poultry, but
we have never suffered from chicken
cholera or other diseases that we often
read of. We feed whole corn evenings
and wheat screenings from the mill
mornings. We have to buy nearly all
of our feed from the town grist mill.
We pay ~thirty-ive cents a bushel for
screenings and ninety cents a bushel for
new corn or eighty cents for old. We
have a common poultry house 8 by Is.
with plenty of glass on south and west
sides. We prefer the ground for a
ground floor. Give the fowls fresh
water every day, all the oyster shells

head of cabbage per day. hang the
cabbage up sd they will have to crane

over 100 cabbages buried in a trench on
purpose for my poultry. AS soon as the
hens see me with a cabbage they all
come on Il run, and as soon as it is hung
up they are hard at work upon it. We
always have eggs. Eggs have been

with a little Langshan, splendid layers.

other things. but the above treatment is

success. In four years we have lost
three grown hens from broken eggs

A Very Old Rule,

The Oldest mathematical book in the
world is believed to be the "Papyrus
Rhind" in the British museum, protested
to have been written by Ahmes, a scribe Of
King Ra-a-us, about the period between
2OM and 1900 B. 9. This "Papyrus Rhind"
was translated by Eisenlohr, Of Leipsic, 4
few years ago, and it was found to contain
q rule for making 9 square equal in area t
a given circle. It was not put forth as an
original discovery, but as the transcript Of
q treatise 500 years older still, which sends
US back to, approximately, 25O0B. O., when
Egyptian mathematicians solved, OF
thought they had solved, the problem Of
squaring the circle.--Allth the World Round.

Feed for Brood sows.

A feed that tends mainly to making
fat is unsuited for breeding sows at any
time. During the period Of CESSATION
the foetus gets its nourishment from the
dam, and is dependent upon the feed she
takes. It should be mainly of the kind
That produces large quantity rather than
very rich milk. Wheat bran or mill
feed is the best, and il the sow is young
elnd growing add oats to this rather than
':;orn, This will make vigorous, straight
backed and long bodied pigs, even from
u young sow. When the dam is full
grown the fine iniddling feed, with q
little milk and warm dishwater, will be
better than heavier feeding.-American

BROOD MARES.
Some Ad vantagcs of Late Summer and
Aa.. Early Fall Colts. ~

Some Advantages of Late Summer and
Early Fall Colts.
When those breeders who contemplate
starting their colts in yearling rnd two
and three-year-old stakes, undoubtedly
the best plan is to breed before July.
Some farmers even prefer to have their
colts come early, when it a be done,
before the seasons work fairly com
mences; others prefer a late colt, so that
the principal part of the spring work
necessary to be done can be finished be-
fore the colts come. But many farmers
who are dependent more or less upon
their brood mares to help them in pre-
pairing the land, planting and cultivating
the crops would find that more and bet
ter work could be secured by breeding
the mares so that they would foal reason
ably early in the fall, so as to give the
colts a good opportunity to get well
started to growing in the winter.
This will avoid all trouble with the
colt during the busy season, lessen the
risk of loss in many ways and secure
fully as good growth Of the foal. During
the first few months of the colts exist
enceit is dependent almost entirely upon
it's mothers milk for Substance, and the
mare can be provided with comfortable
quarters. and if fed a sufficient ration to
keep in a good, thrifty condition will
furnish a sufficient quantity Of milk to
maintain a good growth all winter, and
still be in excellent condition in the fol-
lowing summer to repeat the business Of
the previous year.
The mares used for breeding must be
keptin good condition during the winter,
whether in foal or sucking a colt, so
that the additional cost of feeding is a
small item. Then by the time the colt
is old enough to wean in the spring grass
will have started up and it Can be kept
growing very rapidly at small cost,
while the mare will be best able to do
the work needed for her. This is es-
pecially the case when only a sufficient
number of horses or mares are kept to
do the work, and it is an item of no small
moment to have them in a condition to
do all they are capable of in the spring.
/ when, as a rule, work is the most press
ing. Indeed, there is more nonsense
about breeding and training than is gen.
orally supposed.
We have seen a horse do the work Of
a common drudge, make a season in the
stud and then be taken to a pumpkin
show and clean out all in his class. He
did not of course meet a Nelson, but
he did prove that work had not taken
his speed away altogether, and chat in
all probability, worked in moderation,
no harm will ever result therefrom. The
story of the ''plow horse is a case in
point. just 80 in the breeding problem.
Work your mare judiciously, breed her
when it suits your best interest and
then your cclt has not cost more than a
common horse is worth. If he proves to
be fast and game you have made some
money, andif he is only a common horse
you have lost NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Spirit
of the Turf.
