Quality of Beef Cattle.

The analysis of a one days cattle
market, teaches another lesson
than the one there referred
to. 1t proves that there are too
many poor feeders or breeders, or
both, in this country. It shows that
we are yet an unreasonable distance
from a realization OF the possibilities
OF beef production. With soil, eli
mate, grains, grasses and water that
cannot be surpassed for quality in
the world, and with production as
cheap as the cheapest, and much
cheaper than in many parts OF the
world, and with a widely disseminat-
ed knowledge Of what constitutes the
best beef animals, and their profit
ableness as compared with poorer
ones, it is incredible that there should
yet be so few good cattle and such
myriads OF poor ones. Laws OF breed
ing, the relation OF type to purpose,
everything necessary to the art ofthe
best cattle making are being indus
triously taught, but for some reason
students must be few in number or
difficult to instruct or else the doc
trines would be fruitful OF more good.
1t is strange that self-interest alone
does not hasten the day when the
best will be in the majority. instead
of microscopic minority. Farm,
Stock and Home.

With threshing and fall plowing
done, the farmer begins to wear a
really free from heavy care look, and
we'll he may. The years results are
quite satisfactory, and though not a
first-class crop, prices are fair. With
a goodly supply of vegetables, fruit,
-four, meat, and plenty of fuel, the
farmer need not suffer, and he can
look winter in the face, and catch
glimpses of real comfort around the
heater with his family when the fierce
winds howl and mercury runs low.
There has been three cases of blood
poison in this neighborhood this fall,
two day laborers and Mr.. Hans Lar
son. He has had a small finger am
putated and feels satisfied to get off
SO easy. At one time it was feared he
would lose an arm. It started from a
felon. The other two, we have not
learned their names, are better.
Mr.. Sinclair is on the sick list. He
has had a serious time right in thresh-
ing; has been under the doctors care,
but is improving.

EDITOR SHEAF:
It has been some time since we
have ventured to even think of send
ing you few news items. We have
been SO busy in attending to our falls
work that in fact we could hardly see
the time to attend to what business
we were compelled to do. Then the
thresher is at work here, and it takes
all hands to run it, as the threshing
is done here by the neighbors chang
ing work, and we had all we could do
to attend to the chores while others
were out with the thresher. There
has been two machines at work in
this town of late, but Mr.. Barnekow
moved out to Cedar last Saturday.

seems to be prospering. Good for

Harvey Kerby has his plowing
done up in good shape. "
Erick Anderson don't have to plow
this fall as he has rented his farm.
We hear that John and George
Bolton will soon be back here. Won
der what is the matter with East
Grand Forks now, as it was such
smart place last spring, when they
moved down there?
Well, such a time as we have had
here on this mail route since July LIST
last, in getting our mail. We should
have it three times week from Thief
River Falls, but we get it when it
comes, and no one knows when it is
coming, until we see it delivered to
the postmaster. It seems that one of
those big companies took this route
for $500 90 per year, SO we hear, from
Thief River Falls to Ware, three
times week, and they could not get
a man on the route anywhere to take
it off of their hands for less than
$4,000; so they have hired a man for
a month, and another for six weeks,
the rest Of the, time it comes, then it
does not come. But we hope it will
be better when the new contractors
take possession, which will be on
Nov. 18th next. Then our mail at
this Office will come by the way Of
Argyle. K. Y. 2.

The war in South Africa between
the British and Beers is waged with
increasing fury. A British army Of
$4,000 men entrenched at Lady
smith has been surrounded by su-
perior force of Transvaal and Free
State Beers under Gen. Joubert, and
heavy fighting is reported, with the
odds against the British. On Mon
day, the British sustained an over
whelming defeat, in which two whole
regiments, including over forty Off
GERS, and many cannon, were cap
tured. There may be a fight to a
finish between the forces at Lady
smith, and if the Beers carry the day,
that will probably open the way for
European intervention, resulting in
complete independence being guaran-
teed to the South African republics.

ACCORDING to a recent decision of
the supreme court a teacher can not
legally force payment of wages, un-
less she has a written contract with
the district. A verbal contract with
the school board is not valid, if the
school board wants to be mean, and
refuse to pay for services rendered.
In view OF this decision, it is very i'm
portant that teachers provide them
selves with written contracts wher-
ever they teach in this state.

The BRITISH attribute their crush
ing defeat Monday at Ladysmith to
the stampeding of the mules draw
ing the cannon, and that bereft of
their artillery they could not cope
with the Beers. The mules were
American mules, and they evidently
did not take kindly to their British
masters. Had Mr.. Rafferty,, Of the
Woodward farm, been there with his
expert drivers, the mules would not
have dared to object, and the result
would have been different.
