he is wise, abandon railroading and
make his living in some other way. The
same conclusion might be reached
with equal propriety as to laborer in
a sawmill. The chances are about a
million to one that the man who haG

would not live to describe the third.
In any extra hazardous calling the first
accident may be just as dangerous as
the second or third To contend that
the particular number Of the accident

to confess to a belief in amulets, VOC
dooism. "13" and the rest Of the silly
whims and notions.

CATTLE ON THE FARM.
The Man Who Has Kept His Farm
Well Stocked Is Happy Now.

The Man Who Has Kept His Farm
Well Stocked Is Happy Now.
A few years ago it was common to
hear the remark that farm lands were
too high in price to make cattle raising
feasible or profitable. The demand this
season for beef-bred bulls would seem
to indicate that the average farmer has
undergone change of mind upon that
point. The fact is, farm lands have
been going down in price with too much
grain and grass and too few cattle, says
the Nebraska Farmer. At the same
time cattle have been climbing up in
the scale of prices, until all of US are
beginning to see more clearly the re-
ciprocal relations that should and must
exist between the farm lands of this rich
corn belt region, and that class of cattle
especially adapted to the consumption
of corn. There is not farm in the state
but that is actually worth more money
per acre to-day for having supported
herd of cattle the past ten years. The
fertility of it's acres is retained instead
of being shipped away in the form of
hay and grain. 1t is, therefore, a pretty
well settled principle among farmers
that the man who stays by good cattle
through thick and thin is all the better
off for doing so. In all such matters,
of course, the general public mind is
bound to f1uctuate. Cattle are in great.
er favor while they are scarce in num-
bers, then they become less popular
with the masses as they multiply. But
the cattle man who goes right along
saving wood one year after another
for ten years, has better promise OF
success with his farm than to under.
take to dodge from one thing to an
other with every wind that blows. Beet
cattle have their innings just now. and
happy is the man who has kept his lands
well stocked with good blood. He is q
sure winner in the long run.

Rapid Development of pigs.

The fact that the country is short on
sxine and long on corn, renders it espe-
cially' desirable this year that growers
should feed and care for the pigs in a
way that will develop them rapidly and
perfectly. The tendency is to feed the
growing pigs too much corn. Some
corn is all right, but the ration should
contain some more heterogeneous food to
give good development of bone and
muscle; then when you come to fatten
on corn you will have something to
build on.-Rural World.
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1897-07-22

all the more wonderful is the fact that
the whole is the creation of one man,
private citizen of small means but
enormous energy and keen knowledge
Of affairs. Or rather, to put things more
precisely, it is the creation of three men
grandfather, son and grandson.
For it was in 1912 that the grand
father Of the present owner, Friedrich
Krupp, founded the firm which has
since developed to such gigantic pro-
portions. He had small capital and he
began, too, in a small way. to manufac-
ture cast steel. he having discovered.
after many years experimenting, n new
method of making it. In 1918 he en-
iarged the place in Essen, so as to run
go smelling furnaces. But FREDERICK
Krupp died young. not yet 80. in 1896.
and it was his son Alfred, then but a
boy of II, upon whom devolved the task
of extending the works.
1t was during the long life of this re-
markable man that Krupps became n
household word. The whole appear

JUST WHAT SHE WANTED.
And the Young Man Was Trying to
Hide 1t from Her.

| Hide 1t from Her.
There is a certain young man who
IS just at present Illuminating over the
ltruism that you can never tell about
women. He came to New York few
Years ago from a western city more
noted for its piety than anything else.
and has been of late living at an up
town hotel. Oddly enough, the early
piety instilled in him was not lasting;
he has slipped from grace at divers
times, and in a certain way cultivated
a taste for the cup that cheers. There
arrived at hiss hotel recently a little
party from his home city. The party
consisted of an old gentleman, his wife
and their daughter. The old man was a
friend of the young mans father, and
the young man had slight acquaint-
ance with both father and daughter.
The elderly man asked the younger
Zone to dine with him in the evening,
and the invitation was accepted
| When the dinner hour rolled around
the little party strolled into the dining
room. They found the room filled to
overhowing, and it was impossible to
get four seats together. After some
delay it was arranged that the elderly
! couple should sit at one table, and the
young man and the daughter sat at an
other. This man had habit of prefac-
ing dinner with cocktail. He knew
well the feeling of his host on this sub
ject, but he, wanted the cocktail badly
He knew the waiter also, and calling
him over, told him quietly to bring a
cocktail in teacup. The waiter smiled
knowingly and went off. Shortly he re-
turned with teacup, and the young
man alone knew it contained cheerful
mixture of whisky and bitters.
The waiter was in his day and genera
ton a wise man. He had seen this
particular man drink in the house I'M
der all conditions, but never by stealth
He set his gigantic brain to work, and
he evolved the idea that the secrecy
was for the benefit of the girl, and so
he set the cup down directly in front
of her and smiled with self-satisfied
smirk at the man. The man glowered
and choked. but could say nothing.
The girl looked suspiciously at the cup,
and then picked it up and smelled it.
Then great light came into her face,
and she fairly beamed. She raised the
cup to her lips, and pausing, smiled
across at the man and said softly:
1T was so kind of you! Just what
wanted. No one but you would have
thought of it. Positively, you are ge-
MUS and while the mellow liquid
flowed down the girls throat, the man
sat and blinked and blinked. Now
he thinks that the younger generation
of that village is hot so bad after all.
and he is talking of making "a long
postponed visit to his home.-N. Y
Times.

HINTS FOR sTockMEN.

Color has nothing to do with the value
of cattle.
Good horses find ready sale in the
east.
Don't send poor stock to market. 1t
is losing game.
Badly ventilated stables are pretty
sure to injure the horse.
Corn is too heated food to be fed
alone to horses in hot weather.
Kindness to the young animal is a
cheap way to increase its value.
Give the growing animals plenty OF
room. They should have plenty OF
space.
A we'll mated team means mated as
regasds strength and endurance, rath
err than size and color.
The Poland-ehina pig has made for
tunes for many men, and will make for
tunes for many more.
\ If the rail fences are somewhat out OF
repair, try running a strand of bart
wire along the top of them.
Use the same gentle method with the
mule colt as is used with the horse colt
1t will add95O per cent. to the value OF
the mule.-Western Plowman.
