Abyssinla's Climate.

Abyssinia, according to NJ. Marcel.

according to the altitude above tho
sea. In the low country or valleys ba'
nauas, dates, indigo, cotton and other
tropical plants flourish, elephants,

The supply Of sheep in the
East, says the Chicago Drovers
Journal, has become pretty we'll
exhaust I'd and the result has
shown itself on this market lately
by a much better demand than
usual from buyers in the Atlantic
States. Last week the New York
market took a squirt which has
stimulated more activity in the
trade here. This is the first year
in several that there has been a
limited supply Of sheep in the
Eastern States at this sease of
the year, and SO local traders feel
hopeful that prices will remain
steady if not advance. From now
until the middle of November re-
ceipts r usually very heavy, but
unless the quality comes poor this
eastern demand ought to make the
market compa: atively good.

WHEN searching for an "all-pur-
pose" animal, says the Texas Stock
and Farm journal, whether it be
COW, sheep or hon, just remember
that no animal a us it's food
twice. II a COW converts her food
into milk, she cannot convert the
same food into beef. If a sheep
converts mis- food into wool he can't
convert the same into mutton. If
a duck converts it's food into feath-
ers, it cannot convert the same
food into eggs; hence, # you pick
your ducks and geese regularly,
you need not expect many eggs
from them. OF course every
imal gets it's living from what it
eats-enough to sustain it's life
and strength-before it turns off
any surplus for you. But. if it
has been bred to turn the surplus
into beef, you will lose money try
ing to persuade it to yield butter
instead. Decide what kind of a
surplus you want, and get the
breed which converts it's food into
that product, and don't expect one
mill to turn out graham -four and
horseshoe nails.

lHE subject Of dehorning cattle
is n which our stookmen has
often given serious consideration.
IN speaking Of this subject, the
Texas Stock and Farm journal
says: "Tho practice of dehorn-
ing cattle as practiced in the Wes-
tern States of America is defen-
ded by the British vice-counsel at
Kansas in the course of q very
elaborate report on the trade and
industries of that State. He says
that the practis is becoming pop
ular in the Western States, and
that it has many advantages which
can only be appreciated by persons
in the trade. 1t is unwise to de-
horn cattle, for it takes them some
time to regain their strength.
The proper time for dehorning is
when the calf il a few weeks old,
and then the budding horn is nip
ped with an instrument made for
the purpose. The operation is
not very painful, the wound heals
in a few days. and the work Is
then over, for the horns never
grow. As a result of the process
it is said that the animals are
more contented, gentle and do
cile. If pens containing horned
ard dehorned cattle separately ars
visited and compared, the differ
ence is seen at once, and the ad-
vantages of dehorning are made
apparent. The dehorned cattle
stand perfectly still and contented,
while those with horns are restless
and prodding each other with
their horns. It costs q little less
to fatten dehorned cattle, and two
more can be put into each cattle
truck, thus saving carriage, for
cattle pay by the truckload and
not by weight. Dehorned cattle
fetch more than horned when sold,
for the weight of the horns has to
be deducted. and when killed the
hides r not scared and cut by
the cattle fighting with each other.
The vice-consul considers it a hu-
name act to dehorn; it is, he says,
surprising to see the number of
cattle unloaded with broken horns
and other injury caused by the
horns. In transit in crowded
trucks, if a horned animal falls it
is almost impossible to get up
again, while a dehorned one is
easily assisted to it's feet"

Judgment IN letting a contract cannot be

HANEY, r.. The petitioner, a member
OF the board Of county commissioners

illegally deprived OF his liberty by the
sheriff OF that county, and asks that he
be discharged by an order of this court.
From the sheriff's return it appears that

tue of a commitment for contempt is

If the court had jurisdiction to make the

unauthorized requirement. Elk parte
