According to Western dispatches, TIN
Colorado State Land Board has invited
trouble by leasing to Swift & Co. of
Chicago $4,000 acres in the State North
Park. If such deal should be COM
pleted some 800 settlers in the region
will be forced to vacate. and trouble
will probably result
Fort Worth cattle men are trying to
arrange for the holding of fat stock
and cattle show at that point next
February. 1t is believed that the mon
ey necessary to make it a success will
be cheerfuliy subscribed by the cattle
growers of the locality.
According to London trade journals
that market has imported to date from
argentina 21.603 less cattle and 9O.473
less sheep than at the corresponding
period last year. Increased shipments
cit in part. but will not compensate
for the decreased imports on the hoof.
The Washington State Fair Associa-
ton will be entitled to the $500 pre-
MUM given by the American Short
Horn Breeders Association this year,
as its managers have succeeded in
raising the $500 conditional amount.
This will give it $1,000 to be expended
in premiums for that breed, and should
attract good exhibit.
Secretary Pic!krell Of the American
Short-Horn Breeders Association
writes that the $4,000 subscribed by
citizens of Kansas City for prize mon
ey at the combined sale and exhibit of
short horn and Hereford cattle, will
be divided equally between the two
breeds. The committee is now trying
to classify the $4,000 subscribed at the
last meeting of the Central Short-Horn
Association. Entries for the Kansas
City sale will close Aug. 10 and for the
Chicago sale Oct. 1.
Ees Eating.
Egg eating, says a poultry fancier,
can be prevented by keeping plenty
of ground bone. oyster she'll and fine
gravel before your flock all the time
so they may eat at will, and construct
the nest in a dark place. BY doing
this you will seldom be annoyed by
those egg eaters. On those that have
formed the habit, pare off the upper
mandible quite blunt, also the lower
and put china nest eggs in nests; they
will work awhile at those artificial
eggs, and finding they cannot break
them, will yield. This is the best cure
l know OF.
Cheese Soufle.-Put two tablespoon
fuls Of butter in frying pan. When 1t
is melted add three level tablespoon
fuls of flour. Stir this until smooth.
Pour over gradually one-half of a cup
full Of milk. Stir this over the fire
until it boils, then add one-half Of
teaspoonful of salt. dash or two Of
Cayenne pepper. one-third of cupful
of grated American cheese. Remove
from the fire, and add the yolks of
three eggs beaten until thick. Let this
mixture cool. then cut in the whites
of the three eggs that have been beat
en- stiff. Turn this into buttered bak-
ing dish, and bake in moderate oven
fifteen to twenty minutes. These may
be baked in souf1e cups or paper cases.
Serve as soon as removed from the
oven.
