ct played trick on one of the cow
boys we called 'Scottie,'" said the ex-
cowboy. "But he got even with me
in good shape. We were on the round
up, and within two days drive Of
Ration, but 'Scottie' couldn't stand it
any longer, so he struck off for town
early in the morning to fill up. We
didn't see anything of him till night.
After the cattle had been bedded and
the night herders stationed he came
into camp maudlin drunk. The boys
began to tease him about being drunk,
but he swore that he was perfectly
sober, and offered to bet that he could
walk @ scratch.
II noticed just then that the moon
cast my shadow like log across the
creek. 1 said, 'Scottie, I'll bet you
can't walk across the creek on this
log Scottie looked at it moment
rather obviously, then said: 4 don't
know as 1 can walk it, but I'll bet l
can coon it. All right, 1 said, coon
it
$50 he got down on all tours to
coon it, and, of course crawled splash
into the creek. The boys set up
howl. He scrambled out, spluttering
and cussing, pretty well sobered and
swearing that he would get even with
the kid for that trick And he did.
81 had in my string of COW ponies
the meanest broncho in New Mexico.
No matter how often L rode him he
had to have his pitchout every time
he was saddled. I made it point to
get off before the rest of the boys were
ready to start. Failing in that, l
waited until they were out of the way.
One morning, nearly two years after
'Scottie' had 'cooned' the log, I
saddled up and mounted. The broncho
put his head down to buck. I jerked
him up sharply, and the bride bit
broke and let the bride off over his
head. Then he began to pitch and
run right toward barbed wire fence
'T heard 'Scottie's' voice say L
catch him for YOU Then his lariat
whizzed by my head and caught the
horse around the neck. glanced
over my shoulder and saw 'Scottie' set
his horse back. 1t came over me in
an instant that he was going to throw
my horse and get even with me. SO
I jerked my feet out of the stirrups
and got ready to fall. I landed about
thirty feet away, fiat on my back.
After the boys had brought me around,
examined me and found me all there
and no harm done, 'Scottie' turned to
one of the boys and said: Il told you L
would get even with the kid. Chi

merchants stock cannot increase in
amount as can that of the breeder. To
be sure, the breeder has losses by
casualties to animals, but these are
fully offset if not more by the bad
debts that the merchant accumulates
ON his ledger. If the breeder manages
rightly his stock may be made to in
crease with its product thirty to more
than one hundred per cent. There is
no kind of business so safe from loss,
other than farming, that pays so well
as this. Why then is it that so many
farmers are poor? 1t is because they
trust too much to their land to sustain
them without having the capital to
make the best use of it.
Most low-priced land is so because
it is far from market; that may make
such land unsuitable for growing the
fancy breeds of stock that can usually
only be sold by having those who in
tend purchasing visit the farm and in
specting stock on the ground. Yet
when farmer is known to have an
extra good class of stock he will find
customers for it, even if they do find
it not very convenient to visit and in
spect it. There is no surer way to
make the farm richer than to use it for
stock breeding purposes. If the fer
tility is put into the soil, there need
| be no fear that some means will be
found for making it profitable. TWAS
