to say that many of the more wealthy planters
often had from 10000 to 10000 in currency put
away in this odd manner When It around
pay day they would go and get enough money to
make the payment, and that would end it. When
ever money received It would be put away.
Some kept books, while others kept the figures
in their heads. They seemed to have the
fear of banks that various old maids and rural
farmers credited with. Now this is largely
changed. The has opened their eyes. Live,
aggressive and comprehensive banking companies

THE SQU1W MAN.

AT recent reception at which the
fashion and beauty of Denver were
assembled one of the ladies found her
self seated next to General Sumner,
saws the Denrer Neus. He had been
presented to her earlier in the evening
but she had not quite caught his name
certainly not his title.
Beamingly, she asked; "May l ask
what is your occupation? Dom think
me me rude, for l have made study
of determining such matters without
asking questions, but l confess that
you puzzle me. l am at acomplete loss
to place you.
''Madam, replied the commander Of

his most serious conntenance. 81 am a

Il am afraid don't quite under

after a few minutes cogitation, in
which she took IN the generals whole
tolt ensemble and decided that there
must be another meaning to tie term
besides that to which she had been ac-
customed.
Why, tLat is easy enough to ex-

"Oh, that's the difference, she ejac-

throng carried them apart.
" hich is the best breed Of cattle:
is question frequently asked. The
best breed depends on what is expec-
ted of it. If choice steers are to be
raised for market, and which are to
grow rapidly, produce carcasses that
will command extra prices, and at the
lowest cost, use the beef breeds. If
milk and butter are the object the beef
qualities should not be sought. 1t is
not difficult to learn at the present
day how and where to produce the best
breed Of milk and butter producers,
but in so doing aim to secure not only
The breed, but the choice animals of
the breed. If beginning is made
with the best the more rapid will be
the progress to success, as there are
inferior animals even among the pure
bred one. An extra dollar or two ex-
pended at the start will return four,
fold in the future.
