splendid Almanac for 1902 and with
his staff of able helpers. has
brought his journal, Word and

national reputation. For quarter
Of century MIR. Hicks has grown
in reputation and usefulness as the

forecasts so sought after as now,
his timely warning of a serious
drouth this year having saved the
people from loss and suffering.
Millions of bushels of wheat were
harvested through his advice to
plant crops that would mature
early. The American people will
certainly stand by Prof. Hicks,

benefits are so great. His fine AL.

Matters Of Interest to
Those Of Our Readers
Interested in Live Stock
And Kindred Industries *

cattlemen themselves agree that the
raising of beef on the western plains
will never again be conducted in the
old, haphazard, reckless way and
they add that they are glad of
it. 1t was not pleasant a1y
more than it was profitable to see
cattle frozen to death by hundreds
and to watch the swollen bodies and
protruding tongues that told of the
terrible destruction of thirst. Arte-
STA n wells, alfalfa and corn have
made existence deal more endura
BILE for cattle on the plains and have
done away with much Of the cruelty
that once was inseparable from the
business.
But the new conditions under
which cattle raising is carried on
have produced other changes. One
Of the most noteworthy of these is
the transformation in the position
and estate of the cowboy himself.
The substitution of barbed wire
fences and winter feed lots for the
open range circumscribe nightly the
activities of the free riders of the
plains. Since the cattle cannot
stray beyond the boundary of the
fenced in range there will be
small danger of stampedes; the ne
cessity for cutting out cattle from
herds to which they do not belong;
for lassoing estrays to inspect their
brands and indeed the need of brand
ing itself will all be done away with.
From being wild, untrammeled
lord of the plains, a broncho-busting.
welding, man-eating paragon,
the cowboy is rapidly descending to
the commonplace position of a feed
err of cattle, and will soon enjoy a
status not unlike the ''hired man !"
of the eastern states. He is losing
in picturesqueness, although he is
more than likely to gain in useful
ness to himself and to the community
at large.

Some Cattle Predictions.

In opening sale of Aberdeen-An-
gus cattle at Chicago, the other day,
Col. f. M. Woods, 1.-The great LIVESTOCK
auctioneer, who has sold more thor
oughbred breeding cattle than any
man in the world, reminded his audi
ence of the constantly decreasing
number of cattle in this country.
With cattle selling at 6 cents Gas
they did in Chicago the day before)
he said there could be no possible
doubt of rise in the price Of good
breeding stock, and that within the
next year he looked for prices on
that class of stock to almost double.
CHANGING at the Colonel's state
ment in cursory way, one might
entertain the opinion that such a
prediction might be made to infuse
spirit into the bidding, but the fig
ures, carefully analysed, indicate
that Col. Woods, with his great op-
portunities for knowing the facts,
has based his prediction on more
than fancy.
| Since 1892 the decrease in the
number Of cattle in the United States
has been equal in numbers to the
increase in population-that is TO
say, there are l0,OO0,0O0. The fig.
ures are from accepted authorities
and are undoubtedly. approximately
correct.
Naturally the increase in popula-
ton would add to the demand fol
oeef, if there was no other element
to consider. But during the pas,
few years our foreign trade has in
creased by leaps and bounds. Three
great standing armies have bought
their meat supplies in the United
States, and that demand seems GER
tain to continue for a time, at least

STOCK NOTES.

A Pierre special of the 14th says:

son commission company at Chicago.

now-tips the beam at 4S4 lbs, stands
fifty inches high and measures
around the girth fifty-four inches.
He is perfectly healthy and still con-
tinues to keep up the record of three
and one half pounds of flesh per day.
According to newspaper accounts
the new mule disease is carrying
away the mules of the southern
states at rate that is ausirg great
alarm among planters, who fear for
the loss Of all their work stock.
This will naturally have tendency
to enhance prices, and there ought
to be good demand for mules at
the northern markets to take the
place of those carried away by the
epidemic.
The South Omaha Stock Yards
company, with an eye to the COM
fort of the horsemen, has bought a
tent large enough to cover the entire
sale ring, affording ample protec-
ton from the sun for buyers and
auctioneer. A movement in this di-
rection will be geatly appreciated by
the horsemen who have been COM

Boulder did herself proud" at the
opening day of the Quarto Centennial
celebration in that city Yesterday. No
community could show more hospitality
or broader. genuine, good hearted geuer-
osi.y than Boulder did. Nothing was
too much trouble for the people of Boul
der: nothing was too good for their
guests. Visitors felt as though they
were back in the good old western days
when every latch string hung out as an
invitation to the wayiaIer. Everybody
who visited the city yesterday came
away feeling thoroughly pleased and
satisfied with himzeIf aud with his hosts.
The main feature a. Boulder today
will be the rock drilling contests. and
tha. of tomorrow will be the ffemen's
tournament, by far the largest of its kind
held tor many years. The FIRST regi
ment will be in camp during the week,
and there are numercus enter.ainnl ents
in the big Chautauqua auditorium and
elsewhere. Every person who goes to
Boulder will have good time and il
crease his admiration for the spirit OF
the ci,izens-Ne~s.

All the members OF the party feel that
they owe Boulder vote of thanks and
congratulation, and without putting it to
a vote think l am justified in deciar-
ing it carried"
Charles H. Reynolds said: "You can
not exaggerate the favorable impression
which the celebration made upon our

surprising production for so small a

entitled to much credit. But beyond tt {
