1t may be of interest to some
of the cattlemen to know that a
law was passed by the Legisla-
ture making it misdemeanor to
drive cattle off the range. The
law is as follows:
SECTION 1. That any person
or persons other than the owne r
or his authorized agent who shall
wilfully drive or cause to be
driven any horses, cattle, mules,
sheep, or swine or other domes-
tic animals further from their
usual and customary range than
the nearest corral obtainable,
without the written consent of
the owner, or who shall neglect
to return such horses, mules,
cattle sheep or swine or other
domestic animals Immediately to
their accustomed range, shall, in
either case, be deemed guilty of
a misdemeanor and on conviction
thereof, shall be punished by inn
prisonment in the county Jail not
exceeding ninety days or by a
fine of not less than $25 nor more
than 500, or by both fine and i'm
prisonment, in the discretion of
the court.

Reasonably reliable statistics
show that between the first day
of January 1900, and the first day
of January, 1901, the hens of the
United States will have laid all
told, 13,0O0,OOO,O00 of eggs. If
these eggs could be stood on end,
end to butt, they would make a
column some 466, 900 miles high.
the highest egg would be 226, 900
miles above the highest mountain
on the moon. Laid on the ground
in rows as close as the eggs
would lie, they would lie, they
would cover a roadway so feet
wide from New York to San
Francisco. Made into custard
the product of theAmericanhens
for one year would fill a basin
with saffron richness, one hun
dred miles long, fifty miles wide
and ten feet deep. Broken and
scrambled and then heaped to-
gether, these $4,000, OOO, 900 eggs
would make golden mountain
four times as broad at the base
and three times as high as the
pyramid of Cheops in the days of
it's perfection, before a single
stone had been crumbled by the
hand of Time. Mixed with egg
nog, these would add flavor and
body to enough intoxicating ma
terial to float all our first-class
battleships and give the entire
world flag" of unequaled dur
alton and unparalleled magni-
tude. On account of the laying
of each of these eggs some Amer
lean hen has cack1ed or will cackle
within the next few days for the
space of at least two minutes, so
that the com bined cackle of the
American hens amounts to 26
billion of minutes.

Western counties are expected
to benefit by the new law which
reduces the minimum for the ap-
praisement of school land from
So to SIPS per acre. All the
school land is taken up in the
eastern part of the state, but a
great deal remains unsettled in
the short grass country. In the
boom days the price was set at a
high figure and the action of the
legislature in placing it alta figure
compatible with the price of real
estate since the collapse of the
boom is regarded as equitable
and will operate to the sale OF
more lands and the consequent
return of additional taxes to the
counties.-Dodge City Globe-Re-
