sons Of wealthy parents and of poor
members of the nobility, who are to be

London daily papers as extensively as IN
Chicago. About forty young Engllshmen
are now en- route here. Their parents
think it not only good scheme TO get
their idle sons to work, but will enable
them to get money out of large tracts that

Some members of the English Parliament

than a thousand postmasters have been
swindled out of sums ranging from 500
to $1,000. The principle of the swindle
is the same as that OF the old-fashioned
green goods game. but only postmasters
are invited, and they are urged to pur-
chase instead of money postage stamps
from THE undestroyed plates of the gov

course, are not in existence. The post
masters are lured to New York City by
samples sent by mail. These samples are
genuine stamps and not counterfeits.

At Salina, Kan, corn is selling at Toe

The progress in cattle breeding IN the

The breeders Of thoroughbred horses
have determined to buy up and retire
from the breeding ranks all inferior spec

rid the breed of undesirable animals aud
to make a better market for good young

AND SHEEP RANGES

pounds to each of the cattle he handles.
This revolution IN the business has
been bought about by the substitution
of pure bred beef cattle for the old long
horns These pure bred animals not only
mature in one-third of the time taken by
the Texas steers" but they furnish q
much better article OF beef They cannot
be left to take care of themselves how
ever, IS could the old long horns. They
must be given much more attention and
must also be protected from undue ex-
posture and priYatien. Where long horn
would go out and rustic a good living
for himself one of the new grade steers
would lay down and die Consequently
it is no longer possible for a man TO han
die so many of them, and the average
size of the herds has been cut down to
less than one-tenth their old size.
The gradual settlement by homestead
ers of the most fertile parts of the old
cattle ranges has also had its effect ii
cutting down the size of the herds.
1t is also true that within the last five
years hundreds of cattlemen have gone
out of that business and started into the
raising of sheep. The demand for both
one, and the sheep men have been as a
rule exceedingly prosperous. This great
increase in the number of sheep men has
necessarily greatly cut down the amount
of country which is open to the cattle
men, and as a consequence there is at
present a bitter rivalry on between the
breeders of sheep and cattle. In many
instances this rivalry has broken out into
open warfare, and in some of the West
ern States the cattlemen are organized
for the purpose of keeping out the sheep
at the point of the Winchester rifle.
On one occasion in Colorado, where the
fight between the cattle and sheep men
reached the climax of violence, the ca title
men at night rode do IL upon the flock of
bold herder, started the sheep down a
mountain road in wild panic and never
stopped until most of them had been driv-
en- over high precipice to destruction.
To appreciate the bitterness of feeling
which exists between the two classes of
live stock men it is necessary to under
stand something about the results of feed
ing sheep in cattle country.

~ what is said

O. URING one week in December OF
ii ii each year 1000 men who represent
~ what is said 70 be the largest III
dustry in the world hold their annual con-
vention in Chicago. These men are the
ers of the United States. They repre-
sent the owners of nearly o0,000.00O eat
tie and as many sheep, and total capital
investment of $4,000, 100000.
Most of the delegates to this annual
convention Of the National Live Stock
Association come from the great cattle
and sheep ranges of the far West,
whence come also most of the cattle and
sheep which feed not only the United
States but constantly increasing pro-
portion of the civilized worI' AS rule
they are quiet, well-dressed prosperous
men, used to the good things of the world
and accustomed 10 handling large bust
ness affairs. A visitor to their ranch
houses on the western prairies and noun
tain slopes would probably be surprised
TO and oriental rugs on their floors, grand
pianos in their parlors, and all the lux
uries of modern life at their elbows, for
they are men who like to live well and
who are not afraid to spend their money.
At the same time a visitor TO the cattle
country would look almost in vain for the
cattle baron Of ten years ago. Within
that time the cattle business has been
completely revolutioniZed, and instead of
a few hundred men practically controll-
ing the cattle and sending out great
herds of 100000 or more head each, there
Pre- now millions of owners, and the great
Dulk of the beef cattle run in herds of
a few hundreu.
Less than ten years ago the cattle ship
ped in to the great markets from the
ranges were all long HORNS" and they
went directly to the stock yards from
the ranges to be cut up into beef These
long horns were surprisingly hardy AS
cattlemen put it, they were the best
"hustlersI in the world. They could live
ION air" and could stand almost any
amount of hardship and privations. Also
they were cheap, and a loss of few
hundred head in a blizzard did not mean
much to the owner of 100000 when NE
could buy others for from 50 to $40

Heavy Gales AMI High Seas on the
Atlantic Seaboardo
Hundreds of thousands Of dollars
worth of damage was done by a fierce
storm that swept the Atlantic seaboard
from Maine to the Virginia coast Sunday
morning. The most serious damage was
on the shore Of Long Island and New
Jersey. where high seas swept everything
near the beach before them. Fine cot
tages and boat houses of New York mill
ionaires were partially wrecked by the
waves, boats and piers were carried away
or driven far inland and the whole sea
front of Long Island was strewn with
wreckage such as has not been seen there
for years.
Traffic was suspended on railroads that
run near the shore, and cottages. boat
houses, barns and even hotels were de-
stroycd by the tremendous power Of the
tidal wave. Yachts and other vessels
that were thought to be in safe harbors
were torn from their mornings and car
ried inland and left high and dry.
At New Rochelle, Larcbmont, Orienta
Point, Dayenport's Neck and Premium
Point the shore was strewn with wreck
age. At Atlantic City, " j., the storm
was the severest in years, and damage
TO the amount Of $4,000 or more was
done.

Rapid Increase of the Animals and NJ
Means of DESTROYING Them.

rabbits which have lately appeared in
that part Of the State. Fruit trees and
winter wheat have especially been in

piled with surprising rapidity. There
were no heavy rains TO drown the young
and the extreme heat caused them to
grow rapidly. The disappearance Of the
coyote Is another factor connected with
the present plight Of the farmer The
coyote preyed on jack rabbits.
In the eastern part of the State the
rabbits have made no noticeable increase,
but in the central and western regions
their increase has been alarming. Raids
are planned by the farmers fer the win

sometimes be used TO advantage on farms
