TIE REEF HORSE.

The beef horse-the heavy draft breed
lis profitable animal to grow upon
all farms located within the corn belt.
Pound for pound. he can be raised up
to 5 years Of age as chpaply as steer.
and If well bred and sound will bring
I cents a pound. while the steer will
do well to bring > cents and have to be
fatted up TO do that. The risk with
the horse is a little greater than with
the steer. but as winter cOrntield for
ager he beats the steer all TO pieces.
This type of beef horses will be found
to be the best for the average farmer
to raise. as there is likely to be con
tinued demand at good prices for this
kind Of horse. A few men. natural
horsemen. can perhaps do better in
raising driving horses, but a special
liking and knowledge Of horses are nee
essary in this case. which are not re-
! quired in the other.

The man with the rolling farm has
always one enemy to watch that
the man ON the fiat lands never need
worry over and this is the erosion of
his hill fields by the foods and rains
and the consequent and certain loss
Of their fertility. Illustrating how
great this loss is. we mention the case
Of a farmer through whose farm a
small creek ran, which drained a water
shed including little more than that
comprised in the mans rolling hillside
acres. The hillsides were covered
with corn in July. the soil loose from
recent cultivation, and a heavy sum-
mer storm came up and the foods
came down. The little creek became
a torrent and swept through the barn
yard. eddying into the basement OF
the COW barn. When the water sub
sided. a silt deposit a solid foot in
depth had to be removed from the
barn floor. and this represented but a
fraction Of the fertility removed by
this one storm from his cOrnfields or
the hills. This loss iscOnstantly.- nin--nI

STAR Has Surrendered.
Manila, April 1.-THE chief of staff
of the insurgent general Mascardo has
surrendered at the town of Marivales,
in Bataan province, LuZon. He said
that Mascardo's band of followers, now
greatly diminished, are in a bad way.
1t is impossible for them to elude the
Americans, they are unable to obtain
food and want to surrender. 1t is ex-
pected that Gen. Mascardo himself will
surrender shortly.

Where lies the artistic genius which
devises and traces the delicate frost
patterns to be seen on large plate
glass window in the winter time? Why
do such patterns always follow some
general design on one window and an
altogether different one on another
window? Why is one pattern the most
delicate and unique Of Moorish fret
work. another a crystallized tracing Of
the most delicate lace. SIN another a
grouping Of wide leaved tropical plants.

FARMS WANTED.

The craze for farm land which now
prevails all through the west and north
west has never been equaled sincr the.
days when the country was thrown
open TO settlement. Within year past
all good land which was slow of sale at
from $50 10 $40 per acre y months age
has moved up to $50 and 500 lsr acre.
with sharp demand for ii nj these
figures. The overflow of population
which heretofore has always been able
to find homes on good wild western
lands. either as government land or ut
very low prices in the hands of spec
UlatOrs and corporations. has made the
discovery that the day --af-eheap and
/ fertile land -is--nst Sever to return.
thus inevitably ddvdncing the price of
all fertile cultivated acres throughout
! the entire west and northwest. AnOth-
/ err cause of the advance in price is the
| fact that any good land. whether work
| ed by the owner or rented out, will pay
a larger per cent of interest upon the
money invested therein than any Sc
curities to be obtained. with the added
certainty Of absolute security for the
investment and the almost certain fac
that there will be a constantly increas
ing value attaching TO the land itself

that it would conform in style and APP

space on the ballot as the word Re

Boys Strike For Trivial Cause.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, April III The
breaker boys employed at the Prospect
mire of the Lehigh Valley Coal com
pany went out on strike yesterday be-
cause one of their number was dis
charged. The foreman discovered a
hot pulley, and called for an oiler.
The latter did not respond at once, and
a jig tender was ordered to oil up and
thereby prevent fire. The jig tender
refused saying it was not part of his
duties to do oiling. The foreman dis
charged the 10y at once, and the other
boys then struck out of sympathy. This
necessitated the shutting down of the
breaker and also the lakewood, Mid
vale, Wyoming and Port Bowkley
mines. 1t is estimated that there are
nearly 5000 miners idle in conse
Quence.

got half the fine. The county school
board got the other half. The arrest
was made under the local law passed
for Washington county in 1880, which
imposes a fine as nigh as So for each
/ bird killed. A city ordinance prohib-
/ it's the killing of any kind of bird

blackbirds and English snarrows may
be lawfully killed at all times. Sew
eral persons who have killed robins
will be arrested.
