A CHANGE IN BEEF MATING.

One of the essentials to better beef making in the west is the improve ment in the wild grass pasturage by the lessening of the number of cattle on the open range and the agricul- tural development of the country which admits of winter roughing and feeding. The evil of overstocking and consequent shortness of feed has been the cause of the poor scrub cattle that have for so many years been going from the western range cattle grow ing regions. A complete revolution has been made in the western cattle country, and change is being inaug- urated. Alfalfa and tame grasses are grown wherever irrigation has devel- oped the country and provides the un- iversal cheap winter ration. This is one of the great economies in beef raising.
 Alfalfa will make the animals ow to larger and heavier weight, and in every respect show economy. Why some cattle owners still cling to the old natural herbage instead of adopt ing the better policy can only be ex- plained by shortsighted stinginess, or belief that there is no improving 2 scrub cattle, and that the best must be made of them while they last The latter error is too common in this country. So many farmers have been taught to believe that the best thing they can do with their native stock is to kill hem off and buy new selected stock. They cannot afford to do this, and consequently they cling to their old animals and starve them along as ever. Western range stock has many fine points and qualities, and if it can not be supplanted by others should be improved by better care and feeding i Good food will do great things for ani- mals.
 It may require a generation or two. but the signs of improvement will in evitably appear. The tough, muscu- lar system will relax little, forming fine basis upon which to put flesh In fact, in crosses between the scrub stock and superior breeds the former contributes nothing so valuable as a tough muscular system. Our fine bred cattle lack this, and it is a good thing to infuse little into the new blood of the future generations This question Of cheaper food ri oduction can Je ap- piled to farmers in all parts of the country. There is no state where too much grass is raised. When we reach that stage it may be time to call a halt but as grass is at the foundation of all good farming, we are long d S. tance from having surplus. Alfalfa will always be useful in improving the soil and feeding more stock. When this is in abundance the cost of rais- ing stock is but small, for alfalfa raised stock are not by any means poor animals. With plenty of this valuable forage lack of grain is not so noticeable.

their affair at the Point and agreed that it would have been absurd, and now they were such good friends, and she'd had such sweet, sympathetic message from Mrs. Merriam after her sad, sad bereavement-why, what more was to be said"
 Grafton listened rather grimly. He was many years older than his wife, as has been said, and much less credulous. Again the same uneasy presentiment oppressed him. "I don't think she should come here, Harrie," he gravely said. Anywhere else, perhaps, l could have shared with you the feeling of wei come-certainly the desire to pay the debt of hospitality, but at Sedgwick. with the Merriams here, it cannot be-"
 And here poor Mrs. Grafton broke down and wept. "Oh," she cried, "it's got to be! I thought you'd forgiven her and that all was well; and I urged and she's comingLne-ne- w-week."
 We need not record the further re- marks of Capt. Grafton on this point, since they were after all imperative, but the first dark shadow over their domes- tic peace fell that very day and hour. For the life of him he could not but feel that he had been tricl1ed and deceived. and yet so plausible were the eXp.ana- tions he could not brush them entirely aside. At all events he would not now require his wife to recall the invitation, sent -nd accepted. It might even be as she claimed, that Fan loved and cldng to her as her only dear and inti- mate friend, and craved her society and sympathy now in her bereavement and ill-health, and, though still sus- picious and dissatisfied, he gave his re- luctant assent to the plan, and was on hand at the junction to meet and wei come his unwelcome guest.

THE HOUSE THAT CANT BUILT.
 Chanter IT

Chapter II.
 "A thing begun is half done." The house was now to rise as monument of MT. Gant's enterprise. It was not his intention to build a two-story house, but on the contrary he thought to build one-story house, leaving the gables open for thorough circula- tion of air. His idea was to secure the greatest coolness possible. Upon the convincing figures of Justice Mey- CTS, which showed that it would cost but little more, he decided to build it two stories, close the gables and leave the second story to be finished on the inside, at the option of certain future occupants.
 This decided, everything went of smoothly. the house rapidly assumed shape, the people of the neighborhood watching it closely and making it the subject of conversation at the fireside during the long winter evenings, and the people on the ranch enjoying a continuous social during the house raising.
 On the 18th of December the house was half done. The frame was all up and the roof and siding all on, and the building began to indicate what it would look like when finished. And as it assumed its shape and size the comments and favorable expressions grew in number. It was no wonder, however, for rising to the height of two stories and extending on the ground for distance of thirty-two feet it gave promise of a magnificent structure way out on the border of civilization and untamed nature.
 The ladies of the community got up big Christmas tree at the Reddin school house. It was no small affair, as the presents represented a great deal of money and bore the names of a great many people. The next day as the carpenters and ranchmen were about to start to work they were sur prised by the abrupt appearance of MT. Cant joyfully flourishing a red bandana handkerchief, and gleefully exclaiming, "Who says that somebody hasn't got an eye on this house?"
 But the events in this story must not be anticipated too much, so this will not be dwelt upon for the present
 The building of the house continued

end need not be disturbed. The same prin-
ciple which has applied to keep European
hands off while the war in Cuba has been
going on applies row when the American
demand Is that tine war must stop. The
People of the United States claim the sole
right TO intervene and they are now exer-
cising that right. They are not menacing
Spain except as Spain is the author of a
barberous policy of death and ruin.
The American people therefore stand
forth in this matter as the champions OF
justice and humanity, and as the foremost
power of the western hemisphere. They do
not desire to draw the sword, nor do they
desire that Spain should draw it. But if
the sword is drawn, then the quarrel, as it
is now. will be distinctly between Spain and
the United States, over a question of con-
Germ On this side the water and it must be
fought to a settlement which will be salts

We will not be halted by any power or
combination of powers in the flush of sue

invites the stick she will get it in approved
order and until the people of the United
States, and not other people, decide that
she has had enough. Spain has taxed the
patience of the people of the United States
severely, and If she passes the limit by
forcing a fight she must take the conse-
quences of her folly.

A Peculiar Circumstance.

A circumstance that may or may not be
without significance in connection with the
destruction of the battle ship Maine was
brought to light in Captain Sigsbee's testi-
mony before the Senate committee on for
eign relations yesterday. 1t was developed
that whether from the action of the tides
or wind. 1t SO happened that on the 10Th
day OF February, for the first time since the
arrival OF that vessel in the harbor of Ha-
vana, the Maine lay all day "broadside on
Morro Castle, that is, In such position that
her battery of guns could be brought to
bear on that fortification. At $40 o'c.ocl,
that evening, when all was calm, dark an,i
still, she was sent to the bottom of the
sea, carrying down with her the bodies of
two hundred and sixty-six gallant Ameri-
San sailors.

European MediatiOn.

Tne-e are vague suggestions of European
mediation IN the matter in controversy be-
tween Spain and the United States. They
sre extremely vague. But a word on the
subject may not be amiss.
The people of the United States court and
desire the good opinion of all the world
They are advocates of peace. They are
advocates Of arbitration for all matters
rightfuily within the sphere Of arbitration
Their record Is not smeared with blood nor
eisfigared by covetousness and extortion.
Their purposes are kindly. So far, indeed,
from being war-loving or a warlike ne
tion, the acute stages of this controversy
with Spain found them by their own frank
confession unprepared for war. They have
been forced to hurry in every department
Of their army and navy service.
But they are now ready for war il war
must come. The question at issue relates
to peace for Cuba and peace for the United
States Europe. outside of Spain. Is not In
it. The peace OF Europe Is not Threatened.
