COWBOYS PERFORM AT
COLORADO SPRINGS

Colorado Springs. Colo, Aug 4.-The
closing events of the Quarto- Centen-
NAL celebration yesterday were some
what marred by the rain.
The most spectacular and thorough
ly western Of all the features of the
Quarto-C Centennial celebration WINS on
Saturday morning. being the cowboys
tournament. The tournament was
held in front of the big double grand
stand on Cascade avenue. 1t was typ
ical Of life on the big ranches. II
brought out the cowpuncher in all of
his picturesqueness. 1t, too, attracted
the largest crowd Of tourists of any of
the celebrations, as 1t was all new to
the people from the East, although
probably, 1t was familiar to the people
Of Colorado.
1t was a thoroughly cowboy enter
tainment, consisting Of bucking bron-
chos, racing and other features Of
every cowman's day. The boys from
the plains and mesas, too. entered into
1t with all the dash and vim and vigor
for which they are justly famous.
The scene from the grandstnnd was
one of picturesque delight. The pictur-
esque cowboys and rough riders, the
traditional Indian In all his war paint
and feathers, and the tough. rugged
bronchos Of the advance agents Of CIV
ilization, formed striking contrast to
the dashing steeds and correct uni
forms of the officers in charge of the
tournament, as well as the representa-
tive men and women of the latter day
generation, assembled In the grand
stand, on the grounds, and wherever
bit of space was obtainable.
The first event was tent pegging,
won by Joe Williams.
Harvey Mauck won first prize. $50,
in broncho "busting' feature. His M
imal was what Bill Nye would have
termed "a low browed brute without
breeding" 1t had all the characterIs-
tics Of n mustang; evil tempered, wick
ed, treacherous. Harry Brown was
awarded second prize, 800.
Bert Ireland, n ninetcen-year-old boy,
was awarded special prize Of $40 for
his horsemanship In the line OF bron.
cho busting"
There were thirty cowboys in the con-
test and each demonstrated himself
an adept In the saddle. In addition to
the broncho busting" there was an ex-
hibition Of lariat throwing and roping
a horse.

In the Interstate park, near Taylor's
Fields. Minn., has been discovered \
singular group of giants kettles" or
potholes, covering an area of two or
three acres and ranging in diameter
from less than foot to twenty-fve
feet and in depth from one foot to
eighty-four feet. They have been
bored in exceedingly hard rock and in
many cases they are like wells in
shape, the ratio of width to depth
varying from to up to TOT.

There is great rejoicing among the
Norwegian advocates Of the rights Of
women. 1.-THE New Woman in Nor
way" says the Kleine Zeitung, has
gained glorious victory" For many
years the Norwegian "Feministen"
have been waging war against the use
Of the word "obey" in the marriage
service of the Norwegian church, and
their labors are at length crowned
with success. or at least with par
tial success. The Staatsrath in Christi
ania has ruled that the use Of the word
shall henceforth not be obligatory
upon the bride. but "facultative." That
Is to say. the bride is to be free either
to say that she will be faithful and
obedient." or simply to say that she
will be faithful"

A Vienna surgeon finds that in
eases where the flesh of patients has
sunken away in parts as, for instance,
after the removal of the teeth or
part OF the jawbone, or an injury to
the nose, melted paraffin can be
Injected under the skin and will be
permanently retained there without

Half century ago a thin stream OF
Niagara Falls was first led aside to
turn a grist mill. Today larger
stream, which diminishes seriously the
amount of water that passes over the
fall, furnishes almost half a million
horsepower. Father Hennepin was
doubtless the first white man to see
the mighty cataract. What Father

"a university for women in Tokyo,
Japan, has lately been opened. Count
Okuma, in an address which formed a
p1rt Of the dedicatory exercises, ex-
pressed social and educational views
which could not be surpassed for lib-
erality by the leaders of thought in
our own country or England. When
our women are educated" he said,
''our nation will be twice as strong as
1t is now. The countries which have
tried to get along with standard
which applies only to the education of
men have fallen conspicuously behind
In the race of human progress" AS IL
lustrations he named Egypt, Turkey,
Persia and China. The count admit
ted that society in Japan was disfig-
ured by many abuses. The remedy, in
his opinion, lies in radical reform of
the ideals Of family life, which can be
effected only by such an improvement
in the status of women as the new
university will bring about.
The National Locomotor Ataxian
League has been organized, with an
Office at $50 Fifth Ave, New York city.
The object of the league is to obtain a

the intention Of the league to offer a
reward of 100000 for the discovery OF a
guaranteed cure. The officers of the
league believe there are from $4,000 to

The curing was continued from two to
five months or more and cheeses OF
the same lots, cured at different tenn
peratures, were scored at the same
time by unbiased experts
Fourteen comparisons were made
between cheeses cured at high and low
temperatures, five comparisons tnclud-
ing all the temperatures given and
four, all except the two very high tenn
peratures.
In every case the cheeses cured be-
low 60 degrees scored higher in flavor
and texture than those cured at high
er temperatures, the deterioration In
quality at the high temperatures being
very marked in some cases. The av-
erage score, home-trade scale, OF the
cheeses cured at and below 60 degrees
in 1899 was almost points higher on
flavor and 2.5 points higher on texture
than the score of the cheeses cured at
IS degrees and above In 1900. when
some cheeses were cured at the high
temperatures of Is degrees and 80 de-
gress, the difference in the scores was
still greater: Flavor 81 points; tex
ture. 2.7 points. These are more than
10 per cent gains, so far as scoring Is
concerned; but the real advantage OF
the colo curing Is greater tudA tuiS,

by Improvement in quality that home
market can be built up which will
take all the cheeses the dairies Of the
state can supply. Many Of these
cheeses cured at low temperatures
were pronounced nearly perfect in
flavor and texture by the scorers. One
says: 'T have tested the cheese (55 de-
grees) and can say that it is especially
fine;" another, 1.-The cheeses all good,
the 55 degree F. very fne;" another,
mos. eco degrees) and (55 degrees)
are very nearly perfect cheeses. Con-
sidering that they were made four
months ago we might say that no
cheese could be made that would show
better at the expiration of that time; :"

The Young xoaL

It is advisable, in fact very impor-
tant, that mares which are intended tc
be worked should be fed in the box
with the foals for a short time before.
so as to get the latter well accustomed
to eating crushed oats, bran, ETC., 50
that the separation will be less keenIy
felt bythem, and eating will occupy the
time and minimize the risk of taking
too much milk on an empty stomach.
A drop of clean water should also be
placed where it can be got at, but not
split, and two foals will do better to-
gether than separately, If they are not
shut in too small a place. If they
spend the day in warm box and the
night in a field exposed to the weather.
a nasty cold may be the result; there
fore, If the night should be very un-
propitious after a hot day, it is wise
to keep both mare and foal in an open
shed or yard with a bit of green food
rather than run the risk of exposure.
When the day of showing or selling ar
rives the youngster which has never
had check. and is therefore fit and
full of bloom, wins over the head OF
the dull and seedy looking one, and
the difference in value will pay for
little trouble.-London Live Stock

Breeding of Diseased Fowls.

The fate of a sick mongrel is to have
its head cut off, but what becomes of
the diseased high scoring birds? asks
A. K Boyle in Inland Poultry Journal.
Who would think of killing 95-point
bird just because its head swelled up?
It would be doctored and fused with
until all visible signs of disease were
gone, then into the choice pen it goes
to contaminate all the rest and pro-
duce offsprings subject to the same
disease and very likely become af-
ficted again itself with the first change
of weather. If this is not true, why
do we see SO many articles ON the
treatment of swelled head, roup, etc?
About ten years ago saw the effects
of doctoring sick fowls. Roup got a
start in our midst from poultryman
that lived on very low ground The
neighbors that did not buy eggs or
stock traded eggs because he had a
the chickens were "roupy." Some treat
ed their birds very sensib1y, while 9TH
ers dosed theirs with anything recon-
mended. Some of us used the hatchet
on all sick fowls, good or bad. That
soon cleared things up for the better.
but each year a few cases would crop
out until all of that diseased blood
was bred out. There has been a gen-
eral change of breeds since and roup is
hardly heard of here now. I have not
seen a case of roup for several years.
1t takes grit to butcher right and left
among your pets, but always remem-
ber you are saving the lives of what is
left Some claim they can cure roup,
but just so long as they try it just so
long will it keep cropping out when

win England Exclude Our Horses
The importation into England an
nually of about 40, 900 American horses
has stirred up the English horse rails
ers, who are trying to find some ex-
cuse for excluding the foreign COM
petitors. Up to this time they have
been able to charge American horses
only with pink-eye and influenza, and
both of these diseases are common IN
England. Recently a deputation of
English horsemen waited on the Eng
lish department of agriculture and
asked that steps be taken to prevent
cheap American horses from spread
ing ruin and disaster among valuable
home-bred thoroughbred and carthorse
stock" The deputation was asked to
give some cases where American
horses had given disease to English
horses, but the deputation acknowl-
edged itself unable to do SO. The presi-
dent of the board of agriculture then
said that they had Investigated the
matter and had been able to find but
few cases, not enough to even warrant
quarantining imported horses Out of
the 500 American horses brought into
Hull, not one case of pink-eye or in
fiuenza had been found.
1t does not seem likely that our
horses will be excluded. The English
horse buyers have something I'd say in
the matter, and 1t is to their interest
as well as OF the general public to con-
tinue to import American horses
