improvement IN Cattle.

In an address TO New York breeders,
Mr.. James Hilton said:
Since the West has become largely
populated there is a constant decrease
OF cheap grazing land, and the cost of
producing beef must be greater. The
question then presents itself to the
eastern farmer whether under favora-
bic onditions-nearness to market,
abundance of cheap food, adaptability
TO the business, etc.-he may not I'M
dertake this part of the cattle industry
with success. The farmers of the East
being unable to compete with the cat
tlemen of the plains have somewhat
neglected beef breeding. The West
mas not been slow to recognize the ad-
vaatages of dairying, and to-day the
highest quoted market price for butter
is for that made at Elgin. Ill, and the
eastern dairyman finds his province in
vaded. The time has arrived for the
eastern farmer to produce cattle for
beef, and the first requisite is the Sc
lection of the best stock. The prlncl-
pal beef breeds are Shorthorns, Here
Shorthorns and Devons have also
proved excellent for dairy purposes.
At the worlds fair the Shorthorns held
their own among the dairy breeds, ana
though the Devons were not included
IN that test some have produced as
high as twenty pounds of butter per
week. 1t is foolish to claim that we
can combine the best beef and dairy /
qualities in the same animal; but the /
ShOrthOrns and Devons are equal TO /
any when bred for beef. The animal
of individual merit has greater value
as breeder when supported by Ia
nous ancestry. and the chances OF
breeding true to type are far better
than those of obscure pedigree. There
are many well-bred animals which
possess no real merit in themselves;
as choice between pedigree and in
diyidual merit, it is safer to choose the
latte Feeding and breeding are the
factors of improvement. Not how
many years can the animal live, but
how many tons of feed can he convert
into meat in one year, gives value to
he meat-prOducer. The well-fed cali
with weIl-balanced rations, and with
comfort and kind treatment, will make
esalthy and rapid growth. Two cen
uries ago the average weight of five
7ear-old steers in the English market
vas $40 pounds. Now the crOss-bred
Tearling will weigh nearly double that

rood clover hay and a well-balanced
rain ration of wheat bran, corn meal

j. M. Browning, the famous gun invent
or. of the firm of Browning Bros, gun and
sporting goods dealers Of Salt Lake City
and Ogden, has gotten out an eight-shOt
automatic magazine pistol. which fires much
faster and more accurate than the modern
revoler, besides having far greater range
and penetration. He has arranged with
the Colts Fire Arms company for the man
ufactGre of il in the United States and is
now in Europe making arrangements for
manufacture of it there. Ii is expected
they viii be on the market the latter part
of this year and that they will to great
extent. make a revolution in pistols. While
he is there the firm is pushing their bust
ness hero, especially the bicycle part of it
at the present time of the year and there is
every reason why they should have the
large business they are enjoying. for they
have nearly all the leading wheels-The
Rambler the Sterling the Steains, the Vic
tor and the Tri6une-au of which are of
the highest quality. besides the best medi
um grade line, the Ideal. making an aggre-
cation that cannot fail to attract. There
Is no doubt that they are doing the wheel

Mountain sheep appear to be in
creasiug in Colorado and, stranger
still the rare and timid animals are
leaving their dizzy haunts among thf
high mountain peaks and drawing
nearer to the habitatiOns Of men thar
ever before. In the comparatively low
lands near the town of Jefferson there
is now a flock of fifty or more noun
tain sheep. Jefferson is on the South
Park railroad, about eighty-One miles
southwest of Denver, in Park county.
1t is an old established community and
has near it the well-knOWn summer
resort. Jefferson lake. The vicinity,
disturbed by the rumble of trains as
we'll as the sounds of human life and
industry. is not at all a quiet one. II
has none of the characteristics which
usually mark the natural home of the
almost extinct mountain sheep.
And yet, band of at least fifty Of
the soft-eyed, large-horned native
sheep of the Rocky mountains have
been calmly grazing around the town
of jefferson and close to the railroads
1t is said that the sheep do not dis
play any sign of fear of the Jefferson
people. Many of them come in open
daylight within easy pistol shot of the
residences. They do not run away IN
less somebody purposely tries to fright
en- them.
For many years past the sight of a
mountain sheep has been rarity in
Colorado, and usually but one at
time mas been seen. A hunter far Of
from civilization might descry a soil.
tarv sHeep, perched on a crag over
lookius some wild and steep canyon,
hut hardly ever within gunshot range.
No such thing as fifty sheep together
has been reported even by the veriest
of hunters. When a lone
sheep was seen it usually disappeared
from view at the slightest alarm.
Considering these things, the de-
scent of fifty sheep upon The town OF
Jefferson, as though they lad formed .
themselves into an excursion party
among the mountains, does
not look reasonably explainable The
general theory is that bitter cold and
leep SHOWS in the higher attitudes
irove them downward, and that they
Joined together for mutual protection
Is they travelled from peak to peak.
Killing mountain sheep is absolutely
prohibited by law in Colorado. 1t is a
losed season all the year around with
he animals, just as it Is with buffalo

CHEAPEST AND BEST.
This is the Verdict of Every House
keeper Familiar with the Article.


1t is often said that the cheapest
article is not always the best, but
occasionally this does not prove
true, and the truth of this last as
sertiOn has been fully demonstrated
by hundreds of housekeepers in
this section who have experimental
with the Saltair Baking Powder,
which is manufactured by the Salt
air Baking Powder company of this
city.
Not only should this Baking Pow
der receive the endorsement of the
housekeepers of the West from the
fact that it is a Western product
but also on account of its cheap
ness and superior qualities. The
Oracle representative has been cred
itably informed by a housekeeper
in this city who has had years of
experience in the use of baking
powders, that the Saltair leads
them all. She states that not only
from point of economy is it supe-
riOr, but the results obtained from
the use of this article far surpassed
her most sanguiue expectations and
in the future she viii use no other.
From personal observation of the
results of the use of this article,
we unhesitatingly state that the
Saltair is the best Baking Powder
ever placed upon The market, as
one trial viii easily prove.-Salt
Lake Oracle.

THE TRUE EDUCATION,

The idea that an education is
something which enables man to
make a living without work is a
radical and very hurtful error The
right kind of an education simply
qualities one to work to the best adj
vantage. One who does not and
will not work is no account in the
world, anyway, and it is of no con-
sequence whether he is educated or
an ignoramus, Money spent IN
sending such persons to school is
worse than wasted, for ordinarily
the more information they have,
the more harm they do in the
world Education gives them stand
ing and influence in society to some
extent, and what influence they
have goes to dlsparage honest la
Dor and make idleness respectable,
An honest occupation is an essen
tial element in genuine manhood,
and a plain requirement of the Holy
scriptures, The right sort OF edu-
cation Is not a mere accomplishment
for genteel idleness, but practical
training which enables one to dis
cover the best way to do everything
he undertakes, Those who have
that kind Of an education save time
aud labor in everything they do,
because they always take practl-
cal view of things, aud do every
thing In the easiest and most com
nonsense way If they undertake
to do something which others have
been doing in a bungling and inn
practical way for scores Of years,
soon study out a better way to do
ut, and save time and labor by cor
recting the erroneous methods Of
their predecessors, They can sue
ceed at anything they undertake,
because they have been taught and
trained to think for themselves, aud
act upon their own conclusions in
everything they try to do, That Is
what education means, aud no one
is educated in the true sense who
does not have It, Youths Adyo-
cate.
