SHIRE STALLION DUNCAN III.

the premises which suited us? Such
instances must always be occurring,
first, because there are very few peo-
pie who will be found to regard the
merits of an individual horse from the
same point Of view, and, secondly, be-
cause it is only natural that the man
with a horse to sell will try and de.
scribe his animal as resembling the
horse which a prospective purchaser
wants, in the hope that If the young
ster does not exactly tally with the de-
scription the visitor will buy him all
the same rather than return empty
handed. On the contrary, q possible
buyer, if he runs down to a stable in
the country where he knows there are
several young horses, feels that out of
30 many there is very likely one that
will suit him, and so the owner Of a
big establishment stands a better
chance of dealing directly with the am
ateur than the little man. The latter is
unable to form a market of his own,
and is therefore in the majority Of in
stances compelled to dispose Of his
stock to dealers, or their agents. which
is the same thing, the inevitable result
being diminished profits; or else he has
to take his risk with them under the
hammer, and most of us with any ex-
perience Of sales know what that
means unless the vender is at the head
Of a very fashionable stud.
1t seems surprising, therefore, that
the horse breeders in a small way have
never yet made a serious attempt to
form themselves into groups and en-
deavor thereby to compete on some
thing like equal terms with the own
ers Of extensive studs. The public
cannot be blamed for declining to
waste time and money in visits to es-
adjustments where there are only
or two horses for sale, but the agents
Of the dealers can and do do SO, and
between the prices paid by dealers and
those received by them there is a pref
ty liberal margin, a portion Of which
might have gone into the pocket Of the
breeder If he could only have succeed
ed in persuading people to come down
and see his animals.

Largest steer.

Advices from Fort Collins claim that
on a ranch in that vicinity is to be seen
the worlds biggest steer. It is stated
that "this animal stands more than
Z feet high, is 10 feet from tip to tip
and 8 feet from the brisket to the top
Of the withers. It weighs between
$500 and 5000 pounds. It will be put
in good flesh and, it 10 said, will be
used for exhibition purposes. having
been purchased by show people,"

KQMr Corn.


The Kansas station recommends two
varieties of Kaftir corn. the red and the
black hulled white. Katir corn makes
q slow growth and should not be plant
ed until the ground becomes warm. On
cold soils surface planting is best. On
warm soils listing does well. Plant in
rows 3 to 80 feet apart, dropping sin
gle seeds an inch apart in the row
Cultivate the same as you would for a
good crop of corn. Many farmers SOW
Kafir corn broadcast, cut with mower,
handle and feed as hay. When grown
for grain, the heads may be cut off and
gathered If the fodder is not wanted.
When the fodder is to be used, the
cheapest method of harvesting Kaf1r
corn is to cut and put it up in large
6hocks.

The Laramie plains are famous all
over the west among stockmcn on ac-
count Of the luXuriant growth Of native
grasses. and before the advent of the
railroad and settlement this portion Of
Wyoming was the favoritc home of the
buffalo, elk and deer. The natural buff
falo grass grows here in Ill it's pcrfec-
ton and seems to be best suited to the
soil and climate. 1t is very succulent
and has better flesh producing, nutri-
tive and sustaining power than domes-
tic grasses. The early spring and sum-
me- showers cease about the 1st of Au-
gust, and from that time until frost
comes the intense sunshine cures the
grass upon the stalk. and it becomes as
standing hay, retaining it's rich juices
and ripened seed. 1t does not become
affected by the severity of the winters.

out the free gold and ship the tailings

AMERICAN EXPORTS.
percentage OF Growth in Our Sales
to Foreign Nations Shows
Gratifying Increase

While Europe is naturally our
largest market for breadstuffs,, the
percentage of growth in our sales to
other parts OF the world is much more
rapid. TO Europe our exports for the
year 1900 crossed for the first time the
b1ll1on-doilar line, yet our exports to
that continent show an increase of
but 10 per cent. in 1900 over 1899, and
but so per cent. over 1890; while to
North America our exports in 1900
show an increase Of IS per cent. over
1899 and 95 per cent. over 1890; to
South America the increase is slight,
owing, in part at least, to the lack of
direct steamship communication for
export trade; to Oceanica the in
crease in 1900 owes 1899 is 4S per cent.
and, over 1890, is 162 per. cent; to
Asia the increase in 1900 over 1899 is
43 per cent, and over the year 1890
is 27 per cent; to Africa the increase
in 1900 over 1899 is comparatiyelv
small, owing to the interruption of
commerce with that continent bv the
existing war, but compared with 1890
the increase is 324 per cent. To Eu-
rope and British North America our
exports in 1900 show an increase of
101a per cent over 1899 and 81 per cent.
over 1890, while to other parts of the
world our exports in 1900 show an in
crease OF 81 per cent. over 1899 and

MILES, NEW UNIFORM.
Adds a Star and Adopts a Cap of the
Russian Military Type-May
Make Other Chances,

Lieut.. Gen. Miles has made a few
changes in his uniform since he at
tanned his new rank. He is privileged
to devise his own uniform and that
of the members of his staff
Since becoming lieutenant general
he has added a star to his decorations.
says the Washington correspondent of
the New York Herald, and has adopted
a cap of the Russian military type.
He has under consideration changes
in the uniform of arms officers. These
changes will not be radical, and will
be dictated by economy and greater
adaptability for service, with special
consideration of the requirements of
duty on foreign stations
One of the changes purposed is the
abandonment of the full dress helmet,
a cumbersome, heavy affair, which
does not add to the personal appear
ance of the wearer and increases the
discomfort of military apparel. It
has been suggested that cap be worn
on all occasions and that blouse be
adopted which will serve for full dress
and undress uniform. The distinc-
ton for. full dress will be attained bv
additional decorations.
The quartermasters resent any in
reference with the uniform regula-
tions, and the fact that Gen. Miles is
considering the subject has already
led to some ill-feeling between the
quartermaster generals office and the
headquarters Of the army.

GIRLS IN WHEAT FIELDS.


Hundreds Of Kansas girls now have
pocketbook full Of new, crisp money as
a result of three weeks work in the
harvest fields this summer. Manyo
them have earned enough to buy their
winter clothes. There is no way to tell.
the exact number of girls who were en-
ployed in the wheat fields this year, but
from the numerous notices of town
girls going out to do harvest work, as
contained in the local newspapers Of
the state, it is believed thatn less than.
500 women were thus employed. The
work is easy, and the pay is two dol.
lars per day. They can sit on q. binder
or mower, shock wheat or rake hay.
just as the old farmers may wish. The
days work is from sun to sun, and the
men treat them with great respect and
courtesy. But the girls will not allow
the men to relieve them Of their share
of the work.
Eighteen young women from Nc
Pherson this year went into the fields
and earned enough money plowing and
harvesting to take them on a trip to
the Atlantic coast, at which place they.
are now. Other girls have earned
enough to send them to school this
winter, and many more have spent
their money for fine clothes and Jew
elry. The daughters Of the farmers do
not work in the fields so much as do the
town girls, who 60 out during the sum
mer to make little vacation money.
The harvesting is now over, but many
girls may be seen running, plows. In
some parts of the state they help thresh
the wheat, but women at this work are
not seen in the Wichita section.
