between 1000 and $500 head Of
strange horses are scattered over q
small area OF country in the vicinity
Of Midland postoffice, in the interior
of the coded Sioux lands between
the Missouri river and the Black
Hills. The animals do not belong to
South Dakota stockmen, nor do their
brands show them to be the property
of stockmenin Montana or Wyoming,
as the brands borne by them are not
recorded in the official brand books
of the three states, so the natural
inference is that they haze drifted
to the South Dakota ranges from
states eyen9farther away than Mon
tana or Wyoming. Its thought the
animals may be as far away as Idaho.
Efforts are being made by officials of
tie South Dakota Stock association
to ascertain the name and home Of
the owners. Unless they can soon
be located 1T is feared that the herd
of drift horses will become the
prey Of horse ''rustlers," who have
recently been very bold in that part
of the state. The herd would prove
a rich harvest for thieves, for, with
the animal, are large number OF
unbranded colts, which would be
easy to dispose Of without risk to
themselves if the "rustlers" secured
possession Of them. Reputable
stockmen living in the vicinity will
strive to protect the animals against
thieves until their owners are found
but it is feared that they will not be
able to prevent the horses being
raided by thieves.

George Prentice, formerly of the
Denver yards, is back from South
Dakota, where he has been spend
ing the winter. Mr.. Prentice says
that the range is badly in need Of
moisture and unless there are liberal
spring rains, the stockmen want
very few cattle. If the rains come,
everyone nearly wants steers from
the south. 81 never saw the grass
in poorer condition. There has not
been enough suow this winter to wet
the ground decently and unless good
rains coms soon, the outlook for the
summer is bad. However, the stock
men seem TO think that there will be
wet spring, as the dry spell has
lasted some time now, in which
event they will want lots Of cattle.
There is another proviso, however,
and that is that they buy cattle
cheaper than last year. Some may
buy anyhow, but the majority is
against paying high prices for their
stock cattle. They know about
what the margin is, and want room
to make . little profit. They have
lots Of money, the banks are full Of
stockmen 8 money, but il will stay
in the bank unless they see chance
to do good with it. With good rains
and fair trading propositions from
the southern breeders, ! see no
reason why We should not see active
trade this spring. You will notice

ever. Denver Stockman.

Tt Paws to BE Kind.

A Texas farm paper says: Recent
" a dairyman concluded to test the
value Of noise and confusion among
his COWS He took a hired man and a
dog and entered the cow lot and began
to raise n great commotion that scared
the COWS, but none were bitten by the
dog or struck with the sticks the two
men carried. Then the dog was turned
out, the sticks laid away and the cows
MIXED. The result was a distinct
falling off in the quantity Of milk, but
the full significance of the affair was
brought out by the Babcock test,
which showed a falling off of forty
per cent. of butter fat. The test was
entirely satisfactory, and there was
no more confusion in that COW lot With
the owners sanction"

Succu1ent Food For Swine.

The value of SuCCulent food for
swine cannot be said to have been
generally appreciated among farmers
1t is possible in many instances, that
the results in gain have not been as
satisfactory as was expected. and in
other cases the feeder may have ar
gued that roots or pumpkins are too
watery for swine, especially during the
fattening process. Pumpkins have
been more generally fed than any
other succulent food. They are re-
garded as good for that purpose, but
just how good nobody can say with
any degree of accuracy, for, SO far as
we know, there has been but one OK
pertinent reported. In that case the
pumpkins We're cooked and fed with
shorts, and the cost of every 100
pounds of gain was 5000. But indie
pendent Of the value of roots or pump
kinS as a direct maker Of meat they
are exceedingly valuable in the direc-
ton of keeping the digestive organs in
proper condition. 1t is a severe test
of the vigor of the animal system to
put swine upon an exclusive diet Of
dry grain for months. Carrots, sugar
beets and mangles are worth far more
than they would seem to be as food,
because of their power to correct the
evil effects Of dry feeding. Whatever
may be said for or against the advisa-
bility of cooking grain for swine it is
proper to say in this connection that
there is no doubt whatever that cook
ing largely increases the value of veg

Raising Calves.

It is something of task for even one
Who has had considerable experience
to select a calf that will make a good
dairy COW. We should be shy of one
that was not from good milking stock
on the part of its mother and both it's
grandmothers, but if it's pedigree was
as long as a page in the herd book, and
it did not suit us in showing what we
call the marks Of a good dairy COW in
we'll formed udder and teatS, and its
general form, we should be quite as
unwilling to raise it. But many
good calf is spoiled by the feeding and
care afterward. These are the two
extremes to be avoided, if feeding so
as to favor the increase of fat, or SO
deficient a food in amount or quality
as to check it's growth. Good early
cut hay and q little bran or oats every
day during the winter is the best treat
ment, and few roots or little ensil-
age are the cheapest feeds because
they produce the best results. Then
a warm and comfOrta BILE stable. and
no exposure to cold storms, or even to
cold winds, and never allowing it to be
tyranniZed over by older animals, with
a little retting every day, may make
