THE BRUTE TANNING THE BRUTE.


The power Of man over the brute Gre
alton is but little understood. About
its only manifestation is purely one of
force. The law Of kindness has but lit
tie in common with the subjugation
and tanning Of unbroken or wild animal
life. This is simply the brute conquer
ing another brute. We like to think
that when the Creator gave man do
minion over all other life it was not in
tended to be obtained in this manner.
We see enough to teach us that there is
a better way. Here is a man possessed
of some occult ability taking the most
fractions and untamable horses and in
a few lessons without the aid of force
In any form Transforming them into
the most docile of animals; here an
other making friends with the birds so
that they will alight on his hand and
feed from his fingers; here little girl
able to manage horse which no
man on the place dare go near But
it may be said that few men possess
this gift Of being able to tame animals
by kindness, to which we will! reply
that SO few ever try it that the gift
might be possessed and never be devel-
oped.

THE KING OF GRASSES.

We have an inquiry as to which is
the best grass. This cannot be an.
swered without further information as
to climate, rainfall, soil and use to be
made of such grass. Wherever it will
do well alfalfa is the best of the
leguminous grasses. Next to that are
the clovers. Good farming demands
that one or the other Of these should
have a large place in crop rotation
wherever it is possible to grow it.
The best permanent pasture grass IS
the Kentucky blue grass, or June grass,
as it is often called, but this must be
only grown where the rainfall is lib
eral and certain during the growing
or summer season. The best grass of
all, for it is grass plant, Is corn. Its
various kinds, it's adaptation to an al
most endless variety of uses and the
wide range Of territory where it finds
a congenial home make it without
question the king Of all grasses. 1t
constitutes the base Of nearly all the
where it is grown and has become to
the people of the great middle west
what the cocoanut palm is to the tribes

while year by year the tireless in.
yentor devises some new method OF
making this king of grasses contribute
to the wealth and well being of the
American people. The ripening ear OF
corn on the green stalk is a fitting coat
of arms for every stock raiser and
every stock mart in the land, of every
kitchen in the country where tooth
some, savory and palatable food is
prepared. 1t should ornament every

orienta1s Make Good soldier.

No European nation has succeeded in
holding or controlling tropical posses
sions without the aid of native troops.
Moreover, these can be maintained at
much smaller cost than white SOL
diers, not to speak of the great expense
of transportation. Two-thirds of the
Dutch army in Java is composed of ma
tive troops; Spain, before the insurrec-
ton, had over 10000 natives doing mil
itary service in the Philippines; and
England's success in converting the
Egyptian fellahs into good soldiers is
another example of how apparently
poor material can be utilized. IF rum.

WARRIOR GAP.
Continued from page 81

Those were days when, inspectors
visits were like those of other angels,
few and far between. The railway was
only just finished across the great di-
vide of the Black hills of Wyoming.
Only as far as Cheyenne was there a
time schedule for trains, and that
far more honored in the breach than
the observance. Passengers bound west
of that sinfully thriving town were
luckier, as a rule, if they went by
stage. Those were days, too, in which
a depot quartermaster with drove
of government mules and a corral full
of public vehicles at his command was
a monarch in the eyes of the early set
tier; and when, added to these high
priced luXuries, he had on deposit in
various banks from Chicago to Chey-
enne, and even here at Gate City.
thousands of dollars of government
greenbacks expendible on his check
for all manner of purposes, from off
GERS mileage accounts to the day la
borer's wages, from bills for the roof
ing OF barracks and quarters to the set
ting of single horseshoe, from the
purchase of forage and fuel for the
dozen military posts within range of
his supply trains down to a can of
axle grease. Everyone knew Bur-
leigh's horses and habits were far more
costly than his pay would admit. Ev-
erybody supposed he had big returns
from mines and stocks and invest
ments. Nobody knew just what his in
vestments were, and only he knew how
few they were and how improbable
they had become. Those were days
when, as now, disbursing officers were
forbidden to gamble, but when, not as
now, the law was dead letter. Bur-
leigh had gambled for years; had, with
little remorse, ruined more than one
man, and yet stood now awe-stricken

An interesting fact in connection
with the coniferous forests of the Pa
eific slope is that as the original timber
is removed new growth of the same
varieties of timber Immediately springs
up. With the white pine forests Of
Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan
the reverse is true, the new growth Of
timber never being white pine, but usu-
ally poplar and jack pine. This fact Of
the western forests being able to re-
produce themselves suggests very forci-
bly, the wisdom Of the government in
taking proper steps to secure some
practical form Of forestry work where
by this wonderful timber tract may be
maintained and not ruthlessly slaugh-
tered, as has been the case with all our
forests on the Atlantic coasts.

HOW TO work HER FARM.

A lady reader of these notes living
in Minnesota, inferentially widow,
having come into possession of 80 acres
of land, improved and cultivated, and
wishing to continue her residence in
town, wants to know what is best for
her to do with it. If she could sell
the land at $40 or $50 per acre and
invest the proceeds in some long time
and safe s per cent security, she would
solve the problem in the way which
would be the least trouble for her. But
if she cannot sell, or does not wish
to and must run the farm by proxy,
she can most safely do SO by putting
a dairy of Is or 20 cows upon the
farm and letting the farm on a share
rent to some good, honest Dane, Swede
or German on long term lease. The
average income from farm so leased
will much exceed 5 per cent on the
money invested In it. By keeping the
farm thus stocked the land will grow
steadily richer and more productive.
There is such a difference in women,
some being good managers, others not.
If this lady has good business tact, she
can direct the operations of this farm
and make good money, and if she is
lacking in this particular she had bet
ter not attempt it. Then there is a
great difference in farms. Our own
experience is that one is more likely
to secure a desirable tenant from
among the nationalities named than
from among native Americans.

THE WOMAN AND THE GASOLINE
CAN.

Inc Olu song,
For women must work, and women must weep
Though the harbor bar be moaning,
gives us the pathetic side Of the sea-
mans and fisherman's life, and it
would really be in order for some poet
to give the world some equally poetic
tribute touching women and the gaso-
fine can. Woman and hydrocarbon oils
We're never made to go together, for
woman can't be made to comprehend
the danger Of filling lighted stove, of
putting gasoline into. the washboiler
when it is boiling on the stove, of kim
ding fire with the stuff or cleaning
clothing with it in a room in which
there is fire. And SO it comes that this
woman is disfigured for life, that one
burned to death or home destroyed
by fire. II men must work and women
must weep, for the good Lords sake
let them do It without the aid of gaso-
line.

and dismayed and wronged by Fate,
since luck had turned at last against
MIN. Large sums had been lost to
players as memorable as he himself
had been. Large sums had been di-
verified from the government channels
in his charge, some to pay his so-called
debts of honor, some to cover abstrac-
tions from other funds, ''robbing Pc
ter to pay Paul" some to silence peo-
pie who knew too much; some, ay,
most of it, in fact, to cover margins,
and once money gets started on that
grade it slips through ones fingers like
quicksilver. AT the very moment when
Arson Burleigh's envious cronies were
telling each other he stood far ahead
of the world, the tigu es were telling
him he stood twenty thousand dollars
behind it,, and that, too, when he was
confronted by two imperative calls for
spot cash, one for ten thousand to

the quartermaster where he dare not
no.
"If you haven't it you know where
you can get it-where you have often
got it before, and where you'd better
get it before it's too late;' these
were words said to him that very
morning, in tones so low that none
but he could hear; yet they were
ringing in his head now like the boom
of some tolling bell. Time was when
he had taken government money and
turned it into handsome profit
through the brokers of San Francisco
and Chicago. But, as Mr.. John Oak
hurst remarked: There's only one
thing certain about luck. and that
is it's bound to change" and change
it had, and left him face to face with
calamity and dishonor. Where was
he to raise the ten thousand dollars
that must be sent to the post quar-
termaster at Warrior Gap? The end
of the fiscal year was close at hand.
He dare not further divert funds from
one appropriation to cover shortages
in another. He could borrow from
the banks, with good indorser, but
what indorser was there good enough
but John Folsom ?-the last man now
whom he could bear to have suspect
that he was in straits. Folsom was
reported to be worth two hundred
thousand dollars, and that lovely girl
would inherit half his fortune There
lived within his circle no man, no
woman in whose esteem Burleigh SO
Numbered at the start. Damn that
cub who dared to lecture him on the
evils Of poker! Was boy lieutenant
to shame him before officers of the
generals staff and expect to go un-
whipped? Was that butt-headed sub
altern to be the means of running his
prospects right here and now when he
stood so sorely in need of aid? Was
the devil himself in league against
him, that that boys sister should turn
out to be the closest friend old Fol-
SONS daughter ever had--a girl to
whom father and daughter both were
devoted, and through her were doubt
less interested in the very man he
had been plotting to pull down? Bur-

country that the Introduction Of the
Belgian hare will prove nuisance and
calamity after the manner of the in
PRODUCTION Of the English rabbit into
Australia. When the common rabbit

own with the small boy, the hound, the
