Field and Farm:

\ few years ago when horses went
down in price the farmers quit raising
SO many. Some classes of horses
went SO low that herd was sold at
Norton, Kansas, at one cent pound,
many Of them being young horses in
fair condition. The demand for
horses for export and the drain made
by British buyers of cavalry stock
have kept prices gong upward until
now very good horses can be pur-
chased for half their value.
The main question uppermost in
the minds of cattlcmen Is the re-
seeding of the range. George Buck
ingham, whose ranch Is on the
uplands in the Black Hills, has found
that alfalfa will grow luxuriantly on
the pleateaus if merely sown on the
prairie sod and scratched in with
harrows. Last year he treated
twenty acres in this way, the alfalfa
throve amazingly and a large crop
of hay was gathered from the patch.
A number of cattlemen have found
that spcltz does very well on the
range and still others have deter
mined to try growing soy-beans for
their voting stock.
More than any other country in
the world New Zealand seems to be
the land of the whole people, with
government of the people, by the
people and for the people. All the
railroads are owned by the govern
ment and they are operated for the
benefit OF the people. If any diff
ference is made in freight it is in
favor Of the poor man. The big
flock owner who ships a hundred
thousand pounds of wool can not get
a lower rate than the poor farmer
who chips hundred pounds. The
government sells land on long tims
pa yments and lends money 10 the
homesteaders to improve it. Tho
government gives pensions to alt
poor and deserving old people; it
has postal hanks where money can
be deposited and draw interest, de-
posits being made at any postoiiice.

The new revenue law passed by the
last Colorado Legislature reaches n
large class OF property which has
heretofore escaped taxation, and 1t is
safe to say that after 1t is in full
operation there will be no more talk
about bankrupt state treasury The
new law seeks to make every class of
property bear its rightful burden OF
taxation, and appears to be well
adapted to the purpose
Denver papers very promptly dis
credit the discovery of molybnenum
near here. An alleged expert in that
city stated that ore carrying less than
30 per cent WAS worthless. That is
amusing, in view of the fact that u
Philadelphia firm offers tle owners
81 for each per cent. of the ore sent
them for analysis, and which they
said assaycd 20 per cent. That firm
wants the whole output, great or
small. If the ore should run 80 per
cent. this firm offers sS for each per
cent. On the other hand the Denver
papers are full of news about the dis
covery of cadmium at Aspen. But
Aspen is in Colorado.

Special agents Of the government t
land department are now sending
out notices to the cattlemen to tear
down their fences in accordance with
the ruling made by the department
last year. The other day j. W. Mill.
sap of Prowers county was arrested
and taken to Pueblo for maintaining
fence twenty miles long. The
cattlemsn tried recently to get an cx.
tension of time of one year 10 remove
their fences, but failed. The fences
must come down right away. 1t is a
crime to fail to have fence torn
down within sixty days from the time
notice is served. While this order
works a hardship to some OF the big
cattlemen who have been playing
hog, yet it is blessing to the home
seeker and the small cattlemen. The
order to remove fences was really the
result OF fight between the big and
little cattlemen. The little fellows
won out. The government took the
position that the public lands could
not be fenced and ordered all fences
around ranches in which any public
land was located torn down. We all
know how the fences rctard the
growth of the country; the home
steadcrs cannot settle on lands fenced
for it always means n row with the
cattlemen who have built the fences.
This is the very reason why we are
against the landleasing policy OF the
American and the 'national" live
stock associations, which as every
one knows are owned and controlled
by the big fellow. to the dctrinent OF
the common herd.

HAS MANY FRIENDS
Nobody's Dog Is a Stock Yards Fix
fure.


ture.
The story in yesterdays Eagle about
nobody's dog shipped to the Union stock
yards from Pratt county and following
some hogs with which he had been raised
to the very door Of the Cudahy packing
house, and of his waiting there for the
hogs to come out, caused good many
people to think that if they had a chance
they would throw that faithful dog a
bone.
He got tired waiting at the packing
house yesterday, and came back to the
stockyards to look for the Pratt county
hogs. He found q pen of pigs in the south
part of the yeards and tried to make
friends with them, but they resented it
and one of them bit him on the head.
Boyd. who attends to ArmOurs hogs,
heard OF it, and he went down there and
Captured the dog, which was nearly
starved. He took him to the Office of the
Union Livestock Commission company
and gave Sim a beefsteall and some
bones. and a pan Of water. That was the
first time that pup had been treated like
a civilized dog, and he seemed to appre-
ciate it.
Boyd talked to him and tried to pet him,
but he paid TO attention to him until he
began TO initiate the grunt of hog, and
then the dog looked up into his face. and
finally walked up and smelled Of his
hand.
r. w. Eldridge Jr wanted to show his
sympathy for the dog, and he went and
got him another beefsteak. and when
the people about the yards got done feed
ing that dog he looked like he had just
come from the traditional lanyard. After
examining his feet some of the stockyards
people concluded that pup Is a genuine
Ohio shepherd. Nobody's dog now has
more friends than any dog in the city.
