REDUCTION TO THE TRADE.
The Fraternal Feeling OF . House
Painter for an Artist
Patron.

There is a saying that two Of a trade can

that there is more fraternity OF interest
than is generally supposed. An instance to
prove this theory is found in the case of an
artist in the suburbs who had the front OF
his cottage painted last week. Ii WASH

the painter was told to bring in his bill.
Three days later the man OF the house was
told that the painter wanted To see him.
Tell him to leave the bill and Ill send
him check" was the inpatient answer.
He was informed that the painter wanted
to see him in person, so there was nothing
to do but TO show him up.
"Well?" said the man Of the house rather
shortly.
IL hope you like the job, I" said the painter.

Their voice. their smile. their very tear.

Hereford Cattle.


 With reference to the visit of a well known Cochise county cattleman in Phoenix, the Gazette says:
 MT. Fiege usually confines his cat tie business to his own ranch in the Dragoon mountains. He has been en- gagged in the cattle business in Ari- zona number of years and has been raising cattle on his present ranch thirteen years. He is said to have the finest herd of cattle in Arizona, consisting of several hundred head of Herefords. He has other cattle not pure Herefords but which are blOOded. From this stock he sells between 100 and POO young bulls each year, supply ing many of the ranges in the south ern part of the territory. This breed of cattle originated in Cornwall, Eng- land, but has been found splendid breed for this section. MT. Fiege calls the cattle 'rustlers." They thrive on ranges which are not considered the best for many other breeds. A strong point in their favor is their market value. They bring the best prices in Kansas City and eastern markets.
 In fatteDing the Hereford beef gains q greater weight i'll the Joins than other beef, which accounts part ly for their popularity.
 MT. Fiege says that when the small herd of Therefore cattle was brought to this valley few years ago there was general depression in the cattle market and all 'cattlemen were com plainiug The man who introduced tue breed was unable to maintain them through this pertcd aud DO at tempt has been mace to raise tnem here since. He believes, though, that they would do we'll here and recom- mends an experiment.
 MT. Fiege was asked tue effect the coming heavy cOIu crop in lhc mid dle states will have ou the prices of cattle.
 Whenever there iS big crop of corn,n he said. the prices of cattle are good The great supply will cheapen the product and the farmers prefer to use their corn for feeding rather than market 1t at reduced price. The farmers will in this way create a demand for feeders and many will be shipped from th.s territory The liberal rains we have tad afe pub ting ;he range cattle n condition Ioi shipping and abundant water Tor lrri gation in your valley will result in tn, fattening of many alfalfa fed cattle Still they are only regarded as feeder' when sent into corn producing regions
