THE FOOD OF THE ROMAN SOLDIER.

The grand old Roman warriors who
won many victories, subsisted chiefly on
wheat carried in their knapSackS and
parched when needed for use. The
healthfulness of wheat as food has
been greatly deprecated by modern
milling processes that remove the life
sustaining gluten in order to make the
flour white. Many seek to remedy this
evil by eating cracked wheat or mush

Struck Oil at Moran.

lola, Kas., Nov. 22.-The last well
drilled by the Moran company is an oil
well. At a depth of 500 feet a flow OF
oil was struck which is estimated at
from three to ten barrels a day. Gas
was what the company wanted, and IL
is not yet settled whether the drill
will be sent on down or operations stop
right there, but there is a general be-
lief that the drilling will cease and an
other we'll be sunk elsewhere. The new
we'll is located a quarter of a mile we&J
of Moran, and this is the first well that
has shown oil out in that vicinity. 1t
is the same grade of oil found at Hum
boldt, heavy and black and suited
chiefly for lubricating purposes.

each. They were sent to market when
they were to I years old, and they
brought about 312 or 4 cents a pound on
the hoOf. Now the cattle bred on the
western ranges are grade short horns
and are brought to maturity and market
when they are 2-year-olds on the aver
age. Nor does the man on the cattle
range ship his cattle directly to the mar
ket. All but a small proportion of them
are sold as feeders" That is, as soon
as the young steers have got their growth
they arc taken off the ranges and sold
to farmers and dealers in the great corn
raising States. The average feeder"
weighs 500 or 900 pounds, and the stock
man gets cents a pound for it. The
corn raiser feeds it on corn for five or
six months, by the end of which time the
''feeder" weighs from 1000 to 1900
pounds, and is sent to the stock yards as
''prime beef" where it brings as high
as cents, or even a fraction more, a
pound.
In other words, the present cattle rails
er Of the great West sells his 2-year-olds
at present for at least as much money as
he got for his 5-year-old long horns five
years ago. At the same time the man
who prepared feeders" for the market
makes profit not only of several cents
pound, but also adds from 800 to 600

pounds to each of the cattle he handles.
This revolution in the business has
been brought 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, as could the old long horns. They
must be given much more attention and
must also be protected from undue ex-
posture and privation. 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 it's effect in
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
wool and mutton has been an increasing
one, and the sheep men have been as
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 &C
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 cattle
men at night rode down upon the flock of
a bold herder, started the sheep down
mountain road in a wild panic and never
stopped until most Of them had been driv-
en- over a 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 a cattle country.

Farmers living northwest of Appleton

that vicinity. Henry Blasting, wealthy
farmer living on the French road, is the
latest victim of the gang of marauders
reporting the loss of about fifty bushels
Of oats and dressed hog weighing about
300 pounds. The thieves evidently drove
in early in the morning, filed every bag
they could find in the granary, loaded 9th
er useful things on to their wagon, and
carted them to their homes without leav-
ing any clue which would lead to their
identity. A great many robberies of this
nature have been reported recently.
