FEEDrNG HORSES TO Hccs.
How the Equine Herds of Nevada Are
Being Depleted.

San Francisco
r. l.. Fulton. of Reno. for a number OF
Central Pacific railroad, tells a strange
story of the myriads of wild horses now
roaming over Nevada and of the steps that
have been taken to get rid of them.
There are in Nevada more than 100000
head of these horses" said Mr. Fulton;

and sheep owners are killing them when,
ever they can. The last Legislature passed
a law permitting any one to shoot any

the ranches. So the ranchers have II in

of them are very fine, too. And what do
you suppose they do with them afterward?
Why, they turn then Q over ,s,. to the $ swine s,a to

Horses are very cheap now the world over,

"Most of the wild horses are in the neigh

that the quality of the herds was greatly
improved. He left many colts that were
superior to the old stock. The various
bands have increased much since then.
While many of the horses would not be
called first class, others are very fine and
are as tough as pine knots and as feet as
there is any use of having horses. They
are eating the grass off and making II hard
picking places for cattle and sheep, and
as the ranchers can't catch the wild horses
they are shooting them down whenever they
get a sight of them and can get up close
enough. The latter is not an easy task.
In fact. it usually is a most difficult thing
to do. They use long-range rites. however,
way pick off a great many. Every rancher
or cattle owner in Nevada, when he sees a
wild stallion and has a weapon with him,
turns loose at it. 1t is the particularly aim
and mission of every cowboy to thin them
off, and oftentimes he is not so very par
ticular just what kind of wild horse 1t is"

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS wears it: 1t may be
besutiful-there are those who say so; but
it isn't comfortable to hold UP. And, al
though dress skirts are by no means the
trailing, training things that they were not
ago. yet they're still sufficiently
lengthy to cause untold discomfort. It's abb
solutely necessary to lift them on OCCASION,
particularly if the occasion be muddy, and
vet this requires much muscular strength,
and involves no inconsiderable fatigue. 1t
was hard enough to have to hold up dress
skirts when they were but three and four
yards in width. but now that the circum-
ference of them measures eight or nine. it
has become a trial and a torture. And under
no circumstances or conditions, whatever
the skirts width or length, does a woman
look graceful or elegant as she grabs at
her back breadths.

The low tide loiter down the shore. The

Through the hiu burrows lisp in murmurous
The thaw's shy minister's; and bark. the

OF heaven grows weird and loud with un-
Of strong hosts prophesying as they so.
High through the drenched and hollow

Beat northward hard on Winters trail.

Athwart the dark to their long Arctic

Comes with a sanction and an awe pro-

A boding Of unknown, forshadowed things.
