as Sells Brothers Enormous Railroad
Shows is consolidated with the Fore
paugh Show, thus making the new
show one of the largest and most pow
erful in the world. The combination
thus effected will have great influence
upon every other show in the country,
except the 'Barnum & Bailey Greatest
Show on Earth. owned solely by J. A.
Bailey, and the Buffalo Bill Wild West
Show in which Mr.. Bailey has joint
interest. Under the new arrangement
all the cages, cars. horses and mena-
geries, material aud paraphernalia of
the Forepaugh Show will now be add
ed to the already big show of the Sells
Brothers,"
All the parties of this unprecedented
and formidable amusement alliance
the absolute genuineness of which is
conclusively established by the above
extract and similar comments by the
other great dailies-unite in declaring
that its immediate and governing pur-
pose is to give their patrons more for
the money than has ever before been
attempted in the show business, and
this evidently will be done. Separate
ly, as the great majority of our readers
and that of the Sells Brothers has each
for many years held an enviable posi-
ton Of first-class prominence and sue
cess. Either has, time and again,
demonstrated itself possessed of ample
material to make a good deal more
than Roman holiday" and if united
they can not establish "a regular rouser
and a world-beater all the rare wild
beasts combined have lost their at
tractiveness, the hypnotic and hilar-
ious influence of all the greatest arenio
artists and clowns is al exploded farce,
and the possibilities of unlimited capi-
tai beggar's dream. Otherwise the
result must be an extraordinary and
sensational success from every stand
point. and such it will doubtless prove
in Wichita, Monday. July 25, when
the new combination of Americas
greatest shows makes its first appear
ance in this vicinity. Each has always
attracted and well deserved big pat

ably with the produce Of good English
Shorthorns. The cattle-as We have
Aready suggested-are very largely
stall-fed. and this is owing to the tact
that in some parts the pastures are
small. unenclosed, or i'll adapted to
outdoor grazing. But in all cases the
grazing season Is short and the winter
long. During the season In which the
animals are confined to the house they
chiefly receive hay, and various cakes
and meals upon the larger farms, and
some cases turnips: while upon the
smaller farms hay. turnips and rape

health and life of the stock. The sue
cess Of Swedish dairy farming is prac-
tically owing to the production Of =

ity Of the butter is owing to the in
struction which has been given and
the system which is followed, but the
price is owing to the combined cheap
ness Of labor and Of land, and to the
help afforded by the cheapness Of
transit between the Swedish factory
and the markets of Great Britain.

Marketing Range Cattle.


Bulletin "a, Colorado Experiment
Station: There is no definite age at
which the old cows are sent to market.
There have been times and places in
the history of ranking cattle when the
cows were never gathered, but allowed
to remain on the range until they died
OF old age. The present custom is to
gather up the farrow cows and sell
them OF in the fall, adding 10 them
such heifers as prove barren and such
old cows as seem to have passed their
prime. There is wide difference in
the age at which steers are sold for
beef. Steers coming five years old
used to be the standard beef cattle, and
when they live all the year on the range
with no extra winter feed they will
scarcely get their growth in less time.
By better care, more liberal winter feed
Ing, with an infusion of the blood of
the pure breeds, this time can be
largely shortened. The general rule
at the present time Is, to sell as soon as
they reach live weight Of a thousand
pounds. II the steers have good
enough winter feed so that they hold
their own, they will reach this weight
the fall after they are three years old.
With a little better winter feed and
better breeding they can reach the
same weight at two years past. The
steers that 60 to market from Colora-
do at the present time are about evenly
divided between the two ages A few
breeders of well bred stock that feed
literally during the winter, are able to
shorten the time still one year more
and produce steers that will weigh a
thousand pounds at twenty months old.
It can not be said that any one Of these
ages is the best, but the tendency of
cattlemen is to feed better and market
earlier. The younger the steers are
sold, the more head can be kept on a
given range, the smaller the investment
and the quicker the returns

Keep the Good Cows.-The wise
farmer does not sell a good milk COW.
The more intelligent he is, and the
more observing, the more poor cows
he will have to sell, and it is not likely
TO be an easy matter for some years
to purchase profitable cows. In fact.
the most of them will have to be'raised
and if they are to be grown on the
farm they will have to be fed not for
beef production but for milk. There
is a very radical difference between the
proper method of growing a steer or a
heifer not intended for dairy purposes
and a calf that is intended for milk
production in the future 1t is very
easy to spoil the heifer calf Of a really
good cow and unfit her for the purpose
for which she was intended, no matter
what her breeding Or her mothers Der
formance may be.-Creamery Gazette.
Government Buying Cattle.-It is
said that the government has already

The Immense Dumps of the Old Reliable
to be Concentrated.
"One need not 60 to Switzerland, to
Italy or to Spain for sublime mountain
scenery, with such magnificent array
of natures wonderful beauties as you
have here displayed within easy distance
of your city," said Col. William James,
the representative of R. G. Duns inter
ests in the famous Caribou mine. "The
ride over the Colorado & Northwestern
from Boulder to Ward is surprisingly
grand and you may challenge any coun-
try to produce its equal"
Col. James yesterday made the trip
over the road to Ward in company with
General Manager Blair and Chief En-.
gineer Frankeberger. From Ward he
drove over to Caribou, where he made
final arrangements with Asa Baldwin for
the concentration of the dumps of the
Caribou mine. The dumps which are
simply enormous in extent are said to
comprise over 100000 tons of ore. A
small concentrating mill will be built on
the ground by the contractors and work
will be begun at once on the huge un-
dertaking. The ore on the dumps, of
course, contains large per cent of sill
yer, but Col James states that recent
assays made also show that the stuff runs
from one-half to two and one.half ounces
of gold. Itis estimated that the contract
will occupy three years. The mine itself,
which Is now filled with water, will not
be touched, the colonel states, at the
present time.
The huge amount of patented mining
land belonging to the company in the
vicinity of the Caribou will be opened
up to prospectors under license. The
company also intends to lease to respon-
sble men, any workings which they may
desire.

the Camera representative, "is showing
signs of remarkable revival. The

Mole St. Nicholas, Hayti, June 25.-
Some of the details of yesterdays battle
at Santiago were received here today.
Eight troops of rough riders were or
dered to co operate with General Castil
los in an attack on Sevila. The move
ment was begun at sunrise and continued
until s o'clock. The heat was intense
and number of troopers dropped and
were carried to the rear.
At s o'clock. the Cuban van guard
which was beating the brush ahead, was
fired upon from the thickets. The.point
of attack was bad for the Americans as
the road was narrow and lined with
heavy brush.
Col. Wood believed it was an ambus.
cade and ordered the men to scatter and
lie down. On account of their position
twas difficult to see the Spaniards. To
preserve the formation the Americans
fell back 100 yards and then advanced
upon the Spaniards who were forced to
retire. The Ninth cavalry and 22d In
fantry were ordered to advance to the
support of the rough riders, but the
Spaniards had begun their.retreat.
The enemy fought like Apaches. falling
back from cover to cover and never pre-
senting themselves in the open. No
more news was received today.
