BIG CATTLE SALE.
The C. A. Saunders Cattle Sale Will
/ Attract May Buyers.

The Saunders sale of Shortho1n cat
tie will take place at the Greeley Stock
Farm near Manila on February 9TH.
Sixty one head of registered shorthorn
cattle will be sold under the hammer
and this presents possibly the best OPP
portunity of the year for the farmers of
Crawford county to get fine stock for
their herds at reasonable prices
I Twenty-Five head of bulls are among
the lot and as they are all by valuable
sires they present tempting bargains to
theS progressive farmer. Thirty-six
cows and heifers will, also be offered at
the sale and it may be well believed
that they will-fnd ready buyers. The
Shorthorn is valuable breed for the
average farmer as they are good both
as beef producers and for milk and
dairy purposes. 1t is to be hoped that
the farmers of the county will be
on hand and not allow these animals to
be sold outside Of the county. There
has been much improvement in the
herds Of the county during the past few
wears, and the farmers who have paid
out the most money for the improve
ment of their herds are the ones who
| have made the most money. Last fall
in speaking of Nicholson Bros. poultry
packing establishment, we mentioned
the fact, that the average weight OF the
poultry of the county had been raised
more. than pound by attention to
breeding and by better care. This is
the same only on a larger scale, OF cat
, tie. 1t costs, no more to raise a good
animal than a scrub, and when the start
is once made for a good herd the results
are more satisfactory from every stand
point At the big Manila sale, twelve
| fine horses will be offered and these too
are of blooded stock and well worth
the attention of the farmers. 1t you
wish a catalogue of the sale, one will
be sent you upon application to the
proprietor of the herd, Nh. Q. A. Saun.

Some Vital Statistics.

The population of Great Britain is
4,454,57S, an increase in ten years Of
3.721 ,656, this itself being an increase
of S73,5S2 over the increase of the de-
cennium 1SS1-1S91. This increase Is
due to the fall in the death rate, the
birth rate, in fact, having decreased
from 1856 in 1871 to 31.57 in 1901.
There are over million more women
in the country than men, and this ex-
cess is still on the increase The
economic basis of civilization is thus
becoming painfully evident Although
Irish emigration has slackened, it's
population shows decrease of 24S,2O4
since 1891. The excess Of females in
this country is much smaller relative
ly than in England. In view of the
great number of females in the richer
countries and the increasing dispro-
portion according to wealth, it is evil
dent that the work and dangers of civ
ilization are unduly thrown upon
men, a fact the women suffragists and
"emancipators' should ponder over.
The birth rate is also diminishing ev-
erywhere. Despite the lessened death
rate, the population of France, since
1896, has only increased 100000, and in
fifty years has increased only 3,OOO 900,
although the French people emigrate
less than other European nations. In
the same time England has gained A..
100000 and Germany 21,0OO.OOO. The
explanation given for France is as
cribed to the unlimited division of land
and the demand of a dowry of all mar
riageable girls. But back of this
arises the natural question why her
people demand the division and the
dot. This brings out the fact that the
ruling cause in such matters is the
character of a Professionalism Med
seine.
