Cattle.


\ herd Of horned cows was bred TO
polled bull whose mother wore horns.
90 per cent. of the calves had no horns.
These young hornless heiiers never
had q horned calf. This shows how
easily the horns may be bred away,
and, although slow, this way Is the
best of tn EN- all
Horned cattle require twice - much
stable room as polls, for tine young cat
tie of the latter kind can be herded in
pen like sheep until ready to drop
their first calves. No chains, stanch-
ions or halters; never disturbing one
another as they crowd around the feed
trough.
five look through the stockyards
we shall find the horns actually gone
from nine-t.nths of the stock brHlght
there. Whether this is due TO the
chemical dehorner, the saw or to
breeding, it shows that horns are no
longer the fashion. Tde chances are
that they never will be again.
The rigid rules Of insp ectioa make it
unprofitable to ship doIbtful stock,
which Is quite slreto b. thrown OH at
l)ss. Keep the young calves until
Old enough, aud do no: ship any stock
which is not in good coalition an / iat
enough 20 make good meat.
Mixed grasses are better for stock
than single variety. However val
liable particular grass crop may be,
or however large the yield, cattle viii
| thrive better upon mixture. lndi-
vidual preferences of cattle differ, and
they will ut all times accept change
of food, which promotes appetite and
thrift
The old "cow doctor" Is almost a
thing of the past, although some he
nighted farmers still let him bleed and
bore as he will. Civilization is driving
out superstition, and with our improv
ei breeds, for which we pay new
prices, we also want improved treat
mant for their diseases. This we arr
getting from educated veterinarians.
If YOU are feeding any stock with th'
idea of making a profitable gain Ol
flesh, see 10 it that they are well pro
te.ted from storms and cold in the ap'
preaching months of winter. You cai
not feed them prolitably otherwise
Nothing in the whole system of stocl
{ management has been more thorough
ly proved than this.
The highway toward profit viii
cattle is recognized i'll good breeding
and early maturity. Good breed is, q
course, the fist step, but early maiuri
ty is mainly matter of the prope
feeding of the young stock. Such al
end is simply impossible if the anima!
, are stinted while they are forming bon
and muscle.

in his honor. Tnis festival, which I
saw in the great -)gtherI city of Can

and afternoon in the gods fine temple.
On the second evening curious AMI
brilliant procession passed through the
principal streets.
First marched the bearers Of huge
white lanterns ciublJzoned with PdaN-
taaTs name and titles. They were foi-
lowed by about 100 boys carrying rich
is embroidered banners. Then came
the history trays" These were wood
en- platforms covered with clay figures
arranged 70 represent different scenes
/ in Paak-taai's life. He was shown
feeding birds, setting their broken legs
and teaching them tricks.
The figures were skillfully modelled
and beautifully dressed and painted,
but the '.hiStoTy trays" were eclip>ei
b. the next division of the procession.
Thousands OF lanterns were borne aloft
on poles, each being the iifc-sizc im;ta-
! tioa OF some bird. There were long
legged storlSs, stately pcae0eks, gorg-
e1us golden pheaSantS, snow pleas
ants, with long jet-blacG tails, great
vuitures and eagles, then at last gilt
tering kin-tishcrS, tiny tits and reed
lings. All the lanterns were lit, many
/ covered with the real feathers Of the
birds Initiated, and they made very
oil and very pretty show
After the birds rode boys Of all ages,
mounted on queer little Chinese ponies.
Thev wore fantastic dresses and had
their faces painted black, white and
red. with here and there q dash Of gold
some had giljed chins aud eyebrows,
other. gold u0SSs aaj ears. TIE older
boys were enjoying thc fun Immensely
wing with each other in pliiing oat
their cheeks and making all sorts oI
, queer faces; but many OF the little fei

- Kiss or Your Life

Good-Iooking women who were pass
ing through The main street of Mon
treuiI, outside of Paris, about 5 O'Clock
the other afternoon, says the London
telegraph, were subjected to unpleaS-
ant attentions by an amorOus lunatie.
This person went about brandishinS a
dagger, and when he saw a pretty
woman he asked her FOR kiss or her
life. Some of the ast0unded females 50
addressed complied with the mad
mans request, and were allowed TO so
Oh their way without further molesta-
ton. \ few Strong-minded ladies', TAX
ing the luaatic To be practical joker,
told aim in an emphatic language to

from being stabbed. The maniac,
whose antics drew large crowd, WAS
finally captured by means of heavy
coal sack, which was thrown over his
head by Il shopman.

Omaha, April From all parts Of
the state messages have been received
telling of the heavy rains and snow,
and the consequent happiness Of the
farmers and business men. Songs of
praise are especially going UP from the
heart of the drouth-stricken region of
last year. There the rain has been the
most abundant. From Nuckols county
west, taking in the vast area covered
by the counties of Adams, Webster,
Franklin, Kearney, Harlan, Buffalo,
Dawson. Phelps, Furnas. Frontier, Red
Willow, Lincoln, Hayes, Hitchcock,
Chase, Dundee. Perkins and Keith, and
in fact, across the state to the north
ern boundary. the precipitation has
been sufficient to satisfy the most carp
ing critic. Where encouragement
abounded a week ago, hope has re-
stunned her sway, and driven out evil
forebodings, replacing them with conf
dence and trust.
But not only has Nebraska been
blessed by the copious rains, but the
drled-up counties along the Kansas,
Colorado and South Dakota borders
have been wetted to an extent in ex-
cess of any experienced in two years.
In the. northwestern counties ten
inches of snow has fallen, greatly de-
laying railroad traffic.

WHEEL NOTES.
Annual Club Relay Race in San
FraciscO Yesterday.

Annual Club Relay Race I'm San
FraciscO Yesterday.
San Francisco, April THE annual
100 mile club bicycle relay race from
San Francisco to San Jose and back
to Oakland was run today.
Seven clubs contested, and the Bay
City wheelmen, of San Francisco, won
by about two minutes, making the 100
miles in 4 hours, IS minutes.
Bicycle enthusiasts were present
from all over the state and thousands
witnessed the start and finish. The
100 miles were divided into relays Of
ten miles each, and each club started
ten men, one for each relay. For the
last ten miles Otto Zeigler, Wilbur
Edwards, Clarence Harbottie, c. S.
Wells. Walter Foster and Casey Cas-
tfeman, the fastest riders on the
coast, or perhaps in the country, were
selected to ride for the various clubs
and the hottest kind of finish was
expected The Bay Citys, however,
gained such an advantage in the early
part of the race that when the last
relay came, Wells had such n start
that none of the others could hope
to overtake him. The relay race is
the big racing event Of the year in
California, and the prize is the Narney
trophy. Last year it was won by the
Garden City Cyclers, of San Jose, in
much slower time.

Denver, April mot a train has
arrived in Denver from the east to-
day, and all roads traversing the east
ern portion of the state are still inn
passable, as a result of the great
storm of Friday. Today has been very
warm and clear, melting all the snow
remaining on the ground, and the de-
lay to trains now comes from sand on
the tracks. Every cut is filled, some
times to the depth of from five to
eight feet. Shovels and rotary plows
are the only implements that can
make any impression On the obstruc-
tion.
A dispatch to the News from Falcon
reports that the rotary pillow, in clear
ing out a cut near there, unearthed
the body Of a man buried in the sand
on the track, probably having frozen
to death. He has been identified as
herder from McLean's sheep ranch.
The loss to live stock will be very
great, but no estimate can be made
today.
