FARM AND GARDEN.
THE CATTLE INDUSTRY.
1t II In a Prosperous Condition
ThrOughout the West.

lt II In Prosperous Condition
Throughout the West.
A careful review of the cattle situa-
ton in the western states reveals the
fact that the cattle industry is in the
most prosperous condition, by far, 1t
has been in for many years. Upon near
ly every farm throughout the great corn
growing states there is an inclination
to raise from five beef calves upward,
depending upon the number of cows
that the farmer or breeder can purchase.
The facts of the matter are, the western
states are very short on breeding cows,
and for this reason the demand for this
class of stock during the next few years
is likely to be strong and urgent. There
is vigorous, forward movement among
farmers and stockraisers all along the
line, for extending breeding operations
of live stock. both pure bred and stock
that is well graded. If this course is
followed for the next two or three years
we may look for much better class of
cattle for market than we find at the
present time. In view of these changed
conditions and liberal demand for this
class of stock, we are safe in saying
that the rearing of live stock and the
feeding of same is bound to become
more surely the best investment that
farmer and feeder can make. Grain
raising in all of the central and west
ern states has largely exhausted the
farmers, and now farmers are realizing
the fact that they must turn back to the
live stock industries in order to preserve
their lands. This course will be helpful
in more than one way. 1t diversifies
the line of farming operations, and we
think, where cattle are raised in smaller
punches, the breeding and care is bet
ter; and of course this will bring bet
ter class of cattle to market and better
prices will result.-Prairie Farmer.

TRAINING THE HORSE,
Gent1eness Mixed with Ffrmness Is
Proper I'm All Cases.

Gentleness Mixed with Firmness Is
Proper I'm All Cases.
The work of training young horses
should be made systematic and prac-
teal to be made effective. This is
seldom the case, in the methods prac-
ticed by farmers. 1t is necessary, too,
to study the disposition of the colt
and treat it accordingly. Because a
horse is vicious and stubborn, it is no
reason that he should be treated in a
brutal manner. Gentleness with firm
ness is proper in all cases. A trainer
says: If horse go too fast the untu-
tored driver yells whoa! simply mean
ing that the animal should lessen his
speed. If he paw the earth, toss his
head, stamp with Impotence, or do
anything he ought not, the same word
is Numbered into his ears. Amy word
used for so many purposes is not good
for much in case of emergency.
The convenient whoa should have
but one meaning, not. to lessen the
speed of the horse, but to bring MIN to a
full stop. When it is given it should
never be allowed to pass UNDECIDED,
be disobeyed or half-obeyed. Does
your horse always stop at this word, or
do you have to stop him with pull at
the lines? A horse is not safe if he
can be stopped in no way except by
pulling at the lines, for a rein may
break or a snap may unlock. Many a
runaway might be prevented were all
horses trained to know and obey this
one little word.-Farmers' Union.

Profit i'm Farm Implements.

A western man is said to have in
vented a machine for gathering, head
ing and delivering sugar beets into con-
veyances. 1t was devised at the sug-
gestion of the secretary of agriculture
1t gathers the beets from four rows at
once. The machine will cost to manu-
facture about $50, and will sell at SEQ
or $7O delivered alta distance. This item
of current agricultural news suggests
the question rs to whether the relative
cost and profit on other agricultural
implements is in this proportion. that
is, selling at double or more the cost
of production.-Troy IN. W Times.

HINTS FOR STOCKMEN.

To make the largest and best horses
out of your colts keep them growing
from first to last.
Horses are naturally active, and
they like freedom as much or more
than any other domestic animal.
Whether you breed full bloods,
grades or native stock, never use an
inferior animal for breeding purposes.
The actual cost of keeping added to
the service fee of the sire should give
the actual cost of the horse at maturity.
Sheep need plenty of time to drink.
If they do not go to the tank as soon
as turned out, let them stay out
awhile.-Farmers' Review.

COUNTRY POLICE FORCE.
New Agricultural Want Discovered
by St. Louis Paper.


All over the country we have no coun-
try police. 1t is only in the cities that
anybody stands ready to arrest male
factor. Out in the rural districts every
man has really to be his own policeman
There is, to be sure, a sheriff, bat the
sheriff is an officer elected without the
slightest reference to his fitness for po-
lice duty, and he, if he can be reached in
time, pursues criminals, if at all, with as
much or as little zeal as his convenience
or temperamentwill permit. The result
is crimes committed in the country, I'M
less they are murderous, are rarely pun.
ished. What we need in all country dis
tricts is what is called country po-
lice" in England and ''gendarmerie" in
France; that is, uniformed and salaried
police, whose business it is to patrol
country roads and pursue criminals. In
England every village has at least one
uniformed constable, and the whole are
under the orders of single county SUI
perintendent. These police are to be
met everywhere, and no burglar or
highway robber can make more than
one stroke without finding them on his
track. We are persevering in main
tanning in this country the same
belief in the continuance of our
early rural simplicity which in the
cities has ended in making municipal
government such farce. In the mean
time people are learning more and more
to take the law into their own hands
in sheer self-defense.-Colman's Rural

The doctors called the disease spinal sclero-
sis, and all said he could not live.
For three years he fingered in this condi.
ton. Then by some friend he was advised
to take DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. He took them and there was
slight change. The first thing noted
was tendency to sweat freely. This showed
there was some life left in his helpless body.
Next came little feeling in his limbs.
This extended, followed by priekling renna
tions, until at last the blood began to course
freely, naturally and vigorously through his
body, and the helpessness gave way to re-
turning strength, the ability to walk re-
turned, and he was restored to his old time
