Fall River Stockmen.

VIM. F. Wyatt Of Cheyenne Falls is here
today representing the Fall River county
Stock Growers Protective association, at the
meeting this afternoon. In a conversation
with a UNION reporter Mr.. Wyatt said that
his association was a secret organization, that
it already had a membership Of one hundred
and sixty with lodges at Cascade, Cheyenne
Falls, Smithwick, Sand Greek, w. G. Flat,
Sand Stone, Olerichs and Hot Springs.
Mr.. Wyatt stated that Fall River county
was a ventable nest of thieves, until the asso-
citation took hold of the matter, that largely
through such agitation six convictions for
cattle stealing were made at the last session
of court and all the parties sentenced to
Sioux Falls and that they will still further
extend its usefulness in that direction until
the country is rid . fthe srustler.s
a very good idea is thrown out by Mr..
Wyatt, who says that it is scarcely probable
that his association and other smaller ones
will cooperate with the organization pro-
posed todaY, because the call was issued for
the range stock growers especially, Mr..
Wyatt thinks, though, that associations large-
" composed Of farmers, as his IS should unite.
Mr.. Henry Behrens feprese,tinggtle Farmers
Protective association Of this county, fayors
this suggestion also.

Professor Riley has during the past

Sowing at the proper time; burning the

applying quick acting fertilizers to seri-

to encourage attacked plants to throw
up fresh tillers, and to increase the vigor
Of these that they may make sufficient

Good system of Earmarks.

MIR. William Watson explains a sys-
lem of earmarking which he considers
much better than tags. 1t consists es-
sentially of tattooing a number inside
the ear by means of an instrument pro-
Sided 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 Gems to me is simpler,
and for cattle ut 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. Amy 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 II round hole is much the cheapest.
The punch used for putting in tags an
swers the purpose.
| do not know who is the author OF
the system, but | presume there is nc
patent on it. Assuming the animal tc
be looking toward you. the notches with
their values are rs follows:

Following are some suggestions as to

go into winter in better condition than

In the spring this grain will meet even q

effect will partake more of that of the
pruning knife than the sickle. Rich soil

Corn Fed Nebraska Beef.

Today %Schleuning & Young received
two a loads Of corn-fed Nebraska
dressed beef, that is a sight for soreeyes,
to use a vulgarism. In a conversation
with Mr.. %Schleuning, a reporter learned
that it is impossible to get good beef
here at present and in consequence lie
had to send out OF the country for it.
1t is strange that our farmers cannot
supply home consumption-at least.
There was surely enough corn raised
here last season to make it profitable to
Iced a limited number OF cattle Tor mar
ket. Good beef brings good prices at
this time OF the year. Sending away for
supplies OF this kind takes money out
OF the country and it should he avoided,
when possible.

We have Il small stock of poultry, but
we have never suffered from chicken

read of. We feed whole corr evenings

Of n feed from the town grist mill.
We pay thirty-five cents a bushel for
screenings and ninety cents a bnshel for
new corn or eighty cents for old. We
have a colnmon poultry house 8 by l6,
with plenty of glass On south and west
sides. We prefer the ground for a

ing, or after, is a very old one, but it is
erroneous. The flesh of the sheep par
takes of the flavor of its feed more thar
does that of the steer or the hog, and the

gresable sleepy flavor is impaired to
