Stuckman, Of Ia Plata county, stated
in this Office that his father would pay
a reward Of $3.50 Tor the capture Of the
thief This was when the man was very

aud with only one companion, left Aztec
on the trail Carter rode a day aud a
half and but for his excellent ability as
a trailer and aign-reader the mao could
have been in Old Mexico or further
south by this time. Carter took him
alone aud brought him to Jail, at the
time ~ bis capture. the boys took stuck
mans team and buggy from the thief
and they we're turned over to the owner.
In view Of the efforts that we're made
and the return Of the team, and the
further fact that reward Of 300 or
$500 was publicly offered for the taking
Of Stevens, THE INDEX submits that
this reward Or part OF it should be
paid to Mr Carter and those who assist
ed 10 corraliug the guilty man. Horse
stealing and like crimes must be ended
10 this section and it is poor policy to
refuse or fail to make good rewards once
offered Tor the capture Of thieves. Par
ties IN Durango who we're instrumental
10 making tho offer Of reward, have
been communicated with aud we bslieve
that when the matter is fairly considered
they will be more than willing to make
good their pledges in this instance.
Whether they decide to do so or not, a
large number Of our people will alway6
think they ought to. =

Prcnarinc For Drouth.

I will give You an instance Of two
dairymen in my neighborhood. One IS
about the best and the other is not the
worst, but among the poorest. They
have each 100 acres. Last season was
very dry, the dryest l have ever come
through. We had not good soaking
rain from the time the snow went
off till October. This good dairyman
had fourteen cows, 10 which he at
tended thoroughly. He had about an
acre Of oats and peas. and put in two
and one-half acres OF corn early, and
he fed his COWS right through the sea-
son. Both these farmers sent to the
factory for seven months, AID the
good dairyman received il the seven
months an average of G007 pounds
from each Of the fourteen cows in the
herd. The other dairyman, who did
rot provide anything, received an av-
erage CT 2032 pounds each. Then wnen
it came to norey the man with the
G0O7 pounds got $40 per COW, the ether
man got SIS per cow The poor dairy
mans cows averaged SEQ month,
and the other mans 81 month. Now
the fault was at home. Ons man pre-
pared against drouth il case it needed
it. and the other man prepared moth
ing. He had hoped it would be q wet
year. and there would be plenty Of
grass. but if it was q dry yea he ex-
pecied to have no money. He received
about $1G2 fory these nine COWS. and
the other man received SAL, making q
difference of $3.50 to the man for his
farsightedness.-W. c. Bright, before
the Ontario Dairy Convention.

Varied Ratlons.

The stock raiser and feeder must
not only know the kind Of beef the
market demands, but must know how
to feed to get desired results; he must
also know the combination CT foods
that will produce these results and at
minimum cost.
The basic fact is that tie feeding
must be varied, not so much to de-
velop AID pet the appetite, as to meet
the needs of the animal System. If
corn is fed to excess. stock will cease
to eat with relish. because only part
Of the system is being normally nour-
ished. but if with this car0onaceors
food heterogeneous one is fed. and
also foods are furnished that viii sup
ply the mineral substances needed by
the animal. the varied food is fur
n:shed that will give good results and
keep the animal in health ard appetite.
This ration question is one that
should be intelligentiy considered By
tho Intelligent calf raiser. IT was but
4 few years ago deemed that such
knowledge was only needed by the
feeder finishing cattle for market, but
the we'll Informed cattleman knows TO-
day that bone and muscle TO give the
large frame are developed in the cali,
while maturing. and he feeds foods
thai will make bone and muscle.
Tbesa facts bein" True, the farQ.e"
that ignores them must BE- the loser.
This varied ration problem should ce
given critical attention, and not be
treated rs fad. Raise :. calf or two
on what are regarded as established
feeding laws, and see if the calf
doesn't show the intelligence OF its
owner. The proof of the pudding is IN
the eating. so give "bossie' balanced
ration pudding and he will tell the
story.-Rur&l World.
