Misuse of Jechnica, Terms.
i've Stock Feeder and Bresde,

Live Stock Feeder and Breeder.
The word Thoroughbred should be
used exclusively as a noun. as the name
of this breed, and should be spelled with
a capital letter, just as Shorthorn, or
Hereford, OF P%ercheron, or Shire. Its
use, hove ever, has been generally per-
verted into an adjective and applied in
discriminatory to all varieties OF live
stock that are purely bred. For instance,
it is common to hear of thoroughbred
%Shorthorns," thoroughbred Perch,-
rons,' and even Thoroughbred Berk-
shires." This is not only Il waste of
words but al wrongful use of them. 1t
would be just as sensible 10 shy a "thor-
oughbred Thoroughbred" Men who
pride themselves on the accuracy of
their speech will not use !"thorougr-
bred" in this sense but will reserve it to
designate the breed Of horses on the
running turf.
The term tull-alood is used among
well-nosted live stock breeders. AS a
matter of fact such terms are wholly I'M
necessary when referring to any Of t, e
established breeds. 1t is not uncommon
to hear men careless of speech or unin-
formed speak Of "full-blood Poland
China "full-blood Shortherns,' and the
like. An animal is not a Shorthorn un-
less it is full-blood, and hence the use of
the qualifying adjective is wholly I'M
necessary. A Shorthorn is a Shorthorp,
and that is all there is to it. If it is Of
this blood bur not pcdigreed and cnti-
tied to registry it is not a Shorthorn but
a grade Shorthorn. 1t is the same with
the other recognized breeds of live stock.
Accuracy of speech is absolutely essen
tial in pedigreed stock business. The
man who claims to have Shorthorns
when he really has only grade Short
horns implies deceit in the use of the
name Shorthorn. The terms purc-bred,
full-blood and pedigreed are used inter-
%changeably. They mean that the ami
NAL to which they are applied is so bred
that it is eligible to registration under
the standard of registration that has
been fixed for its breed. There would
be little need for their use if breeders
would observe the simple and sensible
rule of applying the name of a breed
only to animals that are pedigreed. Fro
quently animals are pedigrecd but have
never been registered, and sometimes
they cannot be registered under the
rules in force in some associations that
re luire them to be registered before they
reach a certain age. In such cases it is
proper to refer them as "unregistercd
%Shor,horns," or unregistered Aberdeen.
Angus" That means that they are pure.
bred but are not registered.
The distinction in the use of these
terms is very simple and clear and men
who wish to be considered authorities
will observe them strictly. There is no,
the slightest C for any confusion OF
misunderstanding.

The Last Chase.

Probably the most exciting time that
ever occurred at the Dickinson stock
yards was Sunday afternoon during the
loading of the James Converse train of
70 cars OF beef cattle. 1t had been re-
ported in town that the roundup outfit
o. this shipment had gathered some "out-
laws'-long horned Texas steers-that
had roamed in the Bad Lands for manv
years, and this was enough to attract a
goodly number of spectators to the yards.
Various herds came down from the north,
crossed the track and were penned with
out much difficulty, until finally a herd
with a sprinkling of the long horned
variety made some objection at crossing
the track. The herd broke several times
and the riders were given some lively
chases. But the real excitement came
when an old c~ow-bellows brand-darted
out from her herd on the south side OF
the track. Several riders gave chase but
they could not bring the animal back in
to the herd. She was roped and taken
into the receiving pen by main force.
by this time the COW was furious. max
ing dashes at every rider and every
COW and steer in the yard, and it becamc
necessary to rope her down. After a
while the pen was cleared and the riders
Embossed the ropes and made a dash for
the outside gate but the COW was on
their heels and there was no time for
closing the big gate and the former chase
and roping had to be all gone over.
Old cattlemen say that they never
saw as bad'a COW or steer to load as this
one. She formerly belonged to M.
Wadsworth, and a number of different
outfits had tried to load her for market
but were unsuccessful. The COW when
loaded was the property of the Ray
estate.
The long horned Texans were rem
nants of the Berry-Boice herds driven up
from the south in the early nineties. They
were long lank fellows and were classed
as Gamer

Vehicles, Harness, Etc.

Iohn A. Beltz of Buxton, N. D., has in
vented a draft-equalizer. This draft
equalizer, comprisingbroadly two double
trees held to rock upon each other and
also upon a wagon-pole, prevents any
animal in a four-horse team from shirk-
ing his duty; for the pull of n horse
will be thrown upon the neck Of the de-
linquent animal. The draft-strain is en-
tirely disposed at the rear end OF the pole'
SO that the animals pull with greater
effect in moving the loaded wagon than
is otherwise possible. The device is SO
constructed that the forward pair of ami
mails control the side movement OF the
wagon-pole together with the rear pair OF
animals and must pull equally with them,
an arrangement particularly servicable
in rounding corners.

To Owners of Stock.

Among the many, n OF the most pre-
valent causes of suffering of horses-and
it is most intense | find throughout our
state-to be that Of gals, aggravated by
stiff straps and buckles of old harness
and the Undesirable torture by the sad
die, together with the high carnival OF
scores of singing flies and gnats, as they
feast upon the raw parts.
To aid, if possible, in the alienation OF
such | offer for those that have charge OF,
and owners of stock, the following form
ula, which is acknowledged to be "a sure
and perfect recipe for CALLS" Use one
part oxide of zinc to about twelve or
fourteen parts of vaseline; mix we'll. A
little melted, strained mutton tallow i'm
proves it. Apply this for gals, sores,
and in fact for all skin diseases of ami.
mails. Meanwhile, Of course, rest from
the harness and saddle, with complete
protection from insects, must be given.

What Harrison Says.

In this weeks Lisbon Free Press In
surance Commissioner Harrison says:
In his endeavor to enforce and carry out
the laws prescribing the duties of the in
surance commissioner, that official has
been severely criticized by insurance
companies and newspapers. The insur-
ance commissioner did not consult the
wishes of the insurance companies or
the pleasure IF the newspapers as to his
duties, but was governed entirely by the
statutes Of the state. In doing so the
records of his office show that the state
is more than $4,000 better off than it
was two years ago as Il result of addl-
tional payments of taxes imposed on
foreign corporations. Two companies
that were insolvent have been closed
and the interests of the people in this
respect closely guarded. Had ,hc COM
missioner ignored the law and his pre-
scribed duties and remained inactive the
insurance companies would have been
pleased and the newspapers would prob
ably have said he was a great official.

Bad Land Fossils.

In a letter dated Medora, N d., Aug.
2, VIM. E. Curtis has this to say of the
Bad Lands:
There, has always been good shooting
in the Bad Lands. They were the winter
feeding grounds for the big game and
the best shelter from storms to be found
in this part of the country. 1t was easy
to approach the animals and it was diff
cult for them to escape, SO that they have
nearly all been killed off. For. paleon-
biologists the Bad Lands are the most at
t~ractive field of labor on the entire globe.
No other spot has received so much
scientific attention, and the result has
been the discovery of remarkable fossil
remains of fishes and animals now ex-
tinct, which were buried under this clay
ages ago, fossils of fishes from six to
t%hirty-six inches long, not to be found
elsewhere, and a great variety of FOSSIL
ICED animals, generally Of the tertiary
period of geology. The camel rhinose
ceros and the hippopotamus lived here
once and the tapir was abundant, al
though neither has been known to the
American continent since its discovery
by man. The most valuable fossils,
however, represent extinct mammals
saurians from fifty to a hundred feet in
length and different examples of the
brontotheridal family which has never
been found elsewhere. A complete
skeleton of a full-grown specimen can be
seen III the Peabody museum at Harvard,
and resembles a buffalo as big as an ele-
plant. The smaller ones are not less
than twelve feet long and nine feet high.
Another remarkable animal called the
oreodon used to travel in droves through
ont the Bad Lands, and a thrce-tocd
horse with hoofs like a deer. There was
also IA lion as large as the South African
species and a strange animal called the
dinoceras, with four horns on his skull.

The Late Labor Trouble.

The threatened labor troubles
here Friday has caused quite a
little talk in labor circles and
among newspapers of the state.
A number of these papers grape
vined" the press dispatches from
here and yesterday nearly every
daily paper published in Colorado
We're teering with reports of how
the labor troubles here were ami
caby and satisfactorily adjusted.
DR.. Cuneo, the Italian consul,
evidently had the welfare of his
countrymen at heart He tele-
graphed his government that
trouble might arise here and in
answer he was advised what steps
to take had trouble arisen.
He was ordered to leave for the
scene of trouble as soon as he
deemed 1t necessary, and that his
countrymen be placed under ar
rest if they were in the wrong,
and on the other hand if they
were abused, to act as he thought
best in the matter, and if trouble
had come on, whatever course he
would have taken, his government
would support him, even to the
point of severing the friendly rela-
tions existing between the two
countries.
This is the seventh time the
consul has been called upon to
settle race troubles in this state.
In five of the cases the Italians
were being prosecuted. In the
other case the doctor personally
served warrants on thirty Italians
and they We're prosecuted to the
full extent of the law.
