The late Senator Stanford never
would permit any one employed on
his big stock farm at Palo Alto,
CAL, to abuse one of his horses.
Whipping was not allowed. "When
you handle a horse" he would say
to his men, "treat HIM a little bet
ter than any one else does" He
even carried this theory to ex-
tremes and does not seem to have
been as considerate of his employees
as of his costly horses. The result
was the finest stock ranch IN Amer
lea; but there is no evidence that
the men who worked for him were
any better than other trainers and
hostlers. A story is told by gen
tleman who was dining with the
senator. Just after dinner one of
the drivers insisted that he must
see Mr.. Stanford. He was usher
ed in with blood over his face,
which was badly cut. "John
knocked me down." explained the
man, referring to one of the train
ers.
"Nhat did you do? asked the
senator.
Nothing" replied the man.
'tBut you must have done some
thing. Iwant the truth"
"I kicked a horse and John
knocked me down." said the fell
low.
"Those were Johns instructions
and l think he did just right" sale
the senator.
Mr.. Stanford's care Of his horses
seems to have been much NOR,
commendable than the treatmen
of his men.

OF the 269,224 cattle received
1t Chicago last month about 1867
BOO came off the ranges. The reA
seipts of range cattle for August,
1892, were about 167, 800 head.
Water is becoming very scarce
in certain portions of the White
River ranges of South Dakota, and
cattle have to be driven some dis
tance for water.
From 1889 to 1893, inclusive, the
average receipts of cattle for Au-
gust at Chicago, have been 28S, ,O49
head. The total for last month
269,224 head, therefore they we're
1892 head short of the average
of the last five years.
A total of 1886 car loads Of
live stock arrived in Chicago last
month, as against 24,679 August
last year. From Jan. l to Aug 81

The irrigation Question.

following joint resolution in the
house Of representatives.
Whereas, the inhabitants of
Colorado, New Mexico and Texas
have for years used the waters of
the Rio Grande river for purposes
Of irrigation, and their agriculture |
interests are dependent upon the
regular supply of water from that
river; and
Whereas, the recent construc-
tion of large canals for purposes
Of irrigation, using large quanti-
ties of the waters of said river,
has diminished the supply of
water to the numerous residents
upon the lower portions of said
river throughout the entire Rio
Grande valley; and
Whereas, it is believed that, I'M
der a proper system Of regulation,
the water supply Of said river
would be ample for the whole Rio
Grande valley for purposes Of ir-
rigation: Therefore,
Resolved, by the senate aud
house of representatives of the
United States of America in con-
gress assembled, that commits
sion, to be known as the Rio

appointed from the states of Tex
and Colorado and the Territory of
New Mexico, respectively.
Sec. 2. That said commission
shall, under the supervision OF
the secretary of agriculture, make
careful investigation of the water
supply of the Rio Grande river
and of the canals, bitches and 9TH
er means of irrigation, whereby
the water of said river is used foi
agricultural purposes, and of the
future needs of the Rio Grande
valley for such purposes, and make
report thereon to the secretary Of
agriculture, by whom the report
shall be laid before congress.
SEC. 3. That the said commits
> sion shall establish rules and reg
ulations for the use of the water
} of the said river for the purposes
t of irrigation SO that the same may
I be equitably distributed among
, all the people resident upon th'
said river and upon the lands il
: the entire Rio Grande valley.

souri, Slope farmer is heard to complain
of the country. But, unless he should
have Influential friends elsewhere who
would assist him, or knows just where to
60 to secure remuneratlve employment,
to what part of the continent would he
turn to better himself? The older-settled
sectione are overrun with men seeking
employment. Certainly he would not 60
there to compete with the army of idle
and discouraged wageworkers. 1t should
be remembered that what are termed
"hard times in North Dakota ore caused
by the low prices of farm produce, and
farm prodiice is as cheap, proportionate)y,
elsewhere. Grain and live stock are low
IN all parts, and our added cost of trans-
portatlon to market is more than offset
by the interest on money invested in the
high. priced lands. In tile older states a
large part Of the property accumulation
came down from. former generations. 1t
adds to the wealth of those individuals
who have inherited it /; but, if you ore not
in that fortunate class, the accumulated
wealth there would be of little benefit to
you should you go back: How many
farmers or other workiugmen would i'm
prove their condition by returning, when
such return means either ldlencss, work
at low wages, the position of renter,
or life struggle to pay a big mortgage
on purchased farm?
1t is not right to adversely criticize any
section On account of d condition which
is general, and low prices for farm prod
ucts are hurting the farmer everywhere.
Take this cotnty, for instance: Would
there now lie much complaint heard if
wheat had averaged q dollar, or even 80
cents, busllel since settlement; and live
stock ana wool in proportion? Yet the
outlook for such prices was good when
the county was settled;
The trouble is not with the country,
but comes from the fact that prices of the
things we raise are low, that we are far
from the railroad, and that, most of us
being without much capital when we set.
tied here, VIC have been compelled to es-
tablish a great many of our improve.
ments with money borrowed at high
rate of interest and machinery purchased
on credit. In other words, we have bceh
working to make a living while at the
same time paying for tools and stock
with which to make that living. This is
but temporary drawback, and will dis.
appear as tbs years roll by. The outlook
for the Missouri Slope is as good as that
of any section of the Union.

Nortll1Sestern miltt6il:
It is stated, says the JamcstoWh AleeS,
that eastern farm journals are already
concedlng the fact that the future feeders
and muttons to supply the eastern de-
mand must come from Montana and the
Dakotas. North Dakota has untold mil
lions of money in the great grass-covered
plans of tins state. The only transmuta-
ton needed to turn the green grass into
yellow gold dollars is that done by cattle,
horses and sheep. North Dakota Is pre-
eminently stocH.growlng region. Mills
lions of acres Of nutritious grasses are
wasted annually, millions of tons of hay
are left uncut, and tens of thousands of
acres are burned over by prairie fires.
Grass Is source Of wealth that the pco.
pie now here fail to fully comprehend
and utilize. The growing of stock is the
easiest and most certain means of making
money that farmer In this state can en-
gage in. Many farmers lave fairly i'm
poverished themselves by attempting to
grow wheat alone, and those who have
added to their resources the flock Of
sheep, or the herd of cattle, and soi,1e
brood mares have regained or are rapidly
.regain,hg what they lost. The increase
in stock--particularly in the western por'
ton of the state--in the last two years, is
sign that the great mine of money an.
nunlly created By nature on the surface
of this soil will not always be neglected
as IN the past.
