and their str, myth and endurance were
so great that they were conquered by
strategem. but not force. They ran as
fast a. horses. and could leap over a
pole held between two men five or six
feet high; they could climb the highest
mountains and jump the deepest ra-
vines.

Future Beef Animals.

There is very marked turn in
the tide with regard to the business
of breeding pure bred stock, and
every kind of stock having good
blood is bringing the owner higher
prices, which is due to the better ap-
probation of the Importance of good
breeding in live stock production.
No up-to-date producer of meats
now thinks of carrying on his work
without attention to breeding, and
the scrub is, with him, a back num-
Der. A good many producers, how
ever, are trying to do their work too
cheap, and are contenting them
selves with pedigree instead of in
sisting on good animal plus pedi-
gree. Still, this is an error that will
be gradually grown away from and
a good sire for meat production
must be a good animal as well as a
registered one. Nor, when the change
is completed, will it mean higher
prices to the consumer. Quality
considered, the meat supply will be
no higher, if as high as now, for the
best. There will be a good deal
larger proportion of the best, and
the producer will make his profit
not in an increased price over those
now prevailing for the best, but out
of the fact that the good animals
will respond to feed better and make
meat of the better quality, always
making profit, while the poor stuff
still commonly produced often nets
a loss.-Dodge City Live Stock

The Plano Manufacturing Co.

Among the great ha rvesting machine in
dustries of the world, there are none more
conspicuous than the Plano Mfg. of Chicago.
1t closed the year 1899 with remarkable
record. To meet the demand of the large
trade, the immense Plano factory was kept
in operation during the season 1899 both
night and day, and to meet the requirements
of largely increased trade for 1900, which
the popularity of Light Running Plano Ma
chimes is sure to create. The Plano Co. have
made extensive additions and improvements
be of interest to the many farmers who are
using Light Running Plano Machines. Our
enterprising merchant, MIR. S. P. Bunch, is
agent for Plano machines and he says that
the prospects now indicate the largest trade
for 1900 ever known in this popular line.
The editor of the 'sDealer's Journal of Chi
cago, who recently visited the great Plano
plant, says: Wonderful extensions and i'm
provements have been made in the great
Plano works in this city, which are just near
ing completion. The most important acqui-
sion, however, is new malleable iron foun-
dry covering seven acres to the west of the
main plant. 1t is provided with the most
modern equipment for turning out high grade
maleables, and will give the Plano people an
important advantage. Last year a good
many Plano agents had ''a kick coming be-
cause they kould have sold more machines il
they had been able to procure them. The
factory ran day and night during the greater
part of the season, and important improve
ments had been made in the shops at the be-
ginning of the season, but it was not possible
to meet fully the enormous increase in the de-
mand for Plano machines. This year pro-
visions have been made for largely increas-
ed output and the company hope to meet all
requirements with their added capacity.
Plano machines are full of strong points
which interest the farmer, and they are paac-
teal points which make every machine in the
field missionary to bring in more customers.
