Los Angeles Herald:

Los Angeles Herald: The agri-
cultural department has given some
startling figures Of the decline of
the cattle industry during recent
years, the number of cattle in the
country in several years being re-
ported as follows: 1890, 36, s49, 024;
1895. 34;364, 2l6; 1896, 80, oo0, 900;
1897, 3O,5o8, 4Os; 1898, 29,264, 900;
1899, 81, 1894, 225. The figures for
1900 are not at hand, but the decline
is believed to have been fully as
great as in preceding years.
This condition is thought to be
due to three causes: The withdraw
al Of public land from grazing priv
ileges, the constant settlement of
arabic land, and the prevalence OF
partial droughtover a large portion
of the cattle raising country. Mean
while the price Of meat has been adj
yancing steadily and it has reached
a point where cattle can be raised
with great profit. The tendency is
away from wild feed. The bringing

It is reported that Eugene Hol-
comb will move his cattle to Mon
tana and stock his Black Hills range
with about 5000 head Of sheep Of
the very best breeds. 1t is a fact
that the cattle industry is gradually
but surely being driven out Of some
portions Of the Hills ranges, and
sheep are taking up the abandoned
ground. Notwithstanding that the
price OF wool is lower than was anti
cipated last fall and that mutton is
not selling where it did last year at
this time, there seems to be as
much interest in the sheep business
in the Hills this spring as ever.

the idea that the Wilson bill defeated

Woonsocket, S. D., April 49,.
Five more of the horses alleged to
have been stolen In this county by
Geo. Moody and James Sontag have
been found. Two were found at
Mitchell and three at Parkston.
Since the thieves stole the cattle
and were chased by the deputy sher-
if Of Miner county they have boldly
operated about Mitchell and in the
counties south Of there. There is a
regular organized gang Of horse and
cattle thieves operating from Red
field to Yankton. Geo. Moody is a
stout, thick set young man, of about
70 years of age, and Sontag is a
small sized man Of about the same
age. The latter has his right hand
cut off just between the wrist and
the fingers, but conceals the afflic-
ton by keeping the stump in his
pocket as much as possible. There
is small reward offered by the
county for their arrest. Over a
thousand dollars worth of cattle
and horses are known to have been
stolen and marketed by this gang.

and this was greater drain than
the supply could stand after so much

While my cattle were in compare

The recent storms came when they
were least expected. The cattle are
usually the weakest about this time
of the year, and when 1t rains and
then turns to snow and freezes hard,
the conditions are not of the best
for the cattle which are out on the

Variations Among Fowls.

The question is very frequently
asked, What is the best breed OF
fowls?" That depends, of course, upon
the market demand or other definite
object Of the poultryman-a point
which the questioner often omits. II
should be borne in mind that "a breed
signifies the average of the values OF
the individual animals composing the
group so designated"
In the development at the Rhode Is
land college of special school of in
struction in poultry culture, several
pens Of fowls typical of the leading
breeds and varieties have been kept
FOR illustration and comparison. A
study of these birds by students, in
structors and experimenters from sew
eral points Of view serves to empha-
size the conclusion that there is far
more difference discoverable between
individual fowls OF any breed than
there is between distinct breeds. In
dividuality and the influence of en-
vironment have to be constantly con-
sidered. However much the breeder
OF fine fowls may CLEAN from others,
he cannot afford to neglect the most in
tense study of his own fowls and Of the
conditions which relate to their prac-
tical management. There Is room for
great improvement among the fowls
of each established breed, and it is by
the study Of individual birds that the
greatest progress will be made In the
proper selection Of breeders.

In the recent campaign the editor
of the Fairfax, Mo-, Forum was nom
mated by the democrats for justice
OF the peace. This is the way he an
nounced the fact in his Journals: ''The
Office was not sought after by us,
neither was it forced upon us. There's
no installing our qualifcation-we
know about as much law as brass
monkey. But our friends said they
were looking for some good, honest
man to make the race. In the face of
such an indirect compliment, how
could we refuse? In a race for Office
I'VE would be a monumental fizzle. We
wouldn't ask man to vote for us If
he'd give us half dollar. Our oppo-
nent is NJ. L. Bear. He's an honest
man, too. But he's well fixed fnan-
icially, and don't need the four to five
dollars year that's in the
Office. Neither of us will make an ac-
tive canvass for votes, so you fellows
who expect to smoke our cigars, drink
our whisky and haze fun at our ex-
pense will get left"

Reports have 1t that Italian eggs
are now being quite extensively ex-
ported without the shells. Alright
vessels are used. in each of which are
packed 1000 eggs without shells.
Great care has to be exercised to have
the eggs fresh at time of breaking, as
1t Is evident that single bad egg
would destroy the whole mass in any
vessel. This method Of packing re-
moves the danger of breakage.
Litter for scratching sheds may be
made OF cheap hay or straw. Some
use dry leaves, but they are somewhat
difficult to handle and break up easily.
Some farmers accomplish the same end
by feeding their hens sheaf grain, and
doubtless this is good thing to do,
especially in the case Of sheaf oats.
But where the thrashing has been done
the practice Of scattering the grain in
litter Is a good one and induces exer-
else.
When fowls have the run of the
farm they exercise principally by walk
ing and scratching. Even then the
hens spend much of their time In
places where they find scratching easy.
That they will do the same thing more
readily in confinement is obvious, II
the opportunity be given them. That
this opportunity should be supplied is
taught by the experience OF every man
that makes poultry raising a business
and success. Scratching has been
termed the vice of the hen, and 1t GER
tainly takes on this form when the at
tempt is made to raise her and garden
truck on the same plot of ground. This
so-called vice may be turned to great
advantage in the scratching yard, and
this has been done by thousands that
successfully keep hens in confinement.
A horse raiser says: "A good horse,
like good house. is built from the
ground up. the superstructure of the
future horse being formed In the wean-
ing colt; and while lousy calf some
times comes out all right In the
spring. one that has escaped the YER
min Is just SO much the better on.
AS the character of the future man is
generally formed in the boy, so also
does complete development In the fu-
ture mature horse depend on the thrift
mess Of the weaving colt. Therefore.
that a good horse may result. the colt
should not only be given a good start
in life. but should be kept In healthful
and thrifty condition throughout the
growing stage"

The day was when men OF promi-
hence hesitated to give their testimoni-
ais to proprietary medicines for publ
cation. This remains true today Of
most proprietary medicines. But Pc
runa has become so justly famous, its
merits are known to so many people of
high and low stations, that no one
hesitates to see his name in print
recommending Peruna.
The highest men in our nation have
given Peruna strong endorsement.
Men representing all classes and sta
tions are equally represented.
A dignified representative OF the
Presbyterian church in the person of
Rev. e. G. Smith does not hesitate to
state publicly that he has used Peruna
in his family and found 1t cured when
other remedies failed. In this state
ment the Rev. Smith is supported by
an elder in his church.
Rev. e. G. Smith, pastor of the Pres
byterian church of Greensboro, Ga,
writes:
Having used Peruna in my family
for some time 1t gives me pleasure to
testify to its true worth. My little boy
seven years of age had been suffering
for some time with eatarrh of the lower
bowels. Other remedies had failed, but
