Carter Ranch.

Like the TIE. the whitewashed, red-roofed build
lngs of Carter ranch, located on Carter creek,
near Carter mountain and the South fork of the
Shoshone, 10 miles from Cody, proclaim the pro-
prietorship of Col. Cody. Here, in a less rugged,
but still attractive setting, is the home of the ia
nous COdy-bred saddle and harness horse.
Formerly owned by Judge Carter, one of the
pioneers of Northern Wyoming, it came into
Col. Cody's possession through u succession of
owners, in 1891. Timothy.and alfalfa are grown
profusely on 800 of the $40 acres, and a fenced lease
of 10000 acres along the base of Carter mountain
affords splendid pasturage for stock. Nearly LOCO
range horses dot the hills and wales of the leased
enclosure in a moving picture of life and color.
Far within the outer boundary is u second enclo-

nesting among the pine-robed slopes, provides
the colonel and his fortunate friends with u cosy
retreat dedicated to rest and recreation.

Col. William F. Cody.

The man to whom the foremost city OF North
west Wyoming owes its name is too well known to
need extended biographical mention here. The
civilized world has come to know him as no other
private American citizen is known and his fame and
personality have penetrated every household in the
land.
His permanent Identification with Big Horn basin
interests began about eight years ago, though many
decades since, his scouting expeditions led him with

Big Horn and Shoshone mountain ranges.
Col. Cody '.prospected'' for a permanent home in
every state west of the Missouri before he settled
on this locality as fulfilling all the demands of a
discriminating homeseeker. The choice by a far
travelled and well-posted man of Col. Cody's stand
ing is argument enough that the Big Horn basin
adequately meets human natures appeal for peace,
plenty and the pursuit of happiness. And the
sincerity of his choice the colonel has lost no OPP
portunity in demonstrating. His time, his attcn-
tion and his fortune have been applied continuously
and lavishly to the upbuilding of a contented, thrift
ty and progressive community.
As a ranchman, his vast holdings of real estate

Wyoming. As an agriculturist, his heavy invest
ment of capital and personal development of the
two irrigation canals-the Cody and Salisbury, and
the Shoshone Irrigation company, of which latter
he is president, have proven him a staunch ally

agricultural colony. As a business man, his owner

And so this sponsor of the two-year-old city of the

not only promised a sure return for others, but he has
staked his all, in reputation and in cash, on the wheel

SELL THE POOR cows.
They Are Positive DetrIment 20 the
Dairy md Steady Source
of Loss.

In the great business world no man
now thinks of succeeding with inferior
machines. The farmer that keeps
cows should take the lesson to heart
and discard all dairy machines-cows
that are not up to modern require
ments. No matter what a machine
costs, it is better to throw it out on
the dump than use it at a constant loss.
Only good dairy machines can be profit
ably used. The good cows make but
ter at profit. The ordinary dairy
cows make butter without profit or
loss. and the poor cows make butter
at loss. Now it is evident that no
matter how much cow costs, it is
best to send her to the butcher if she
either loses money or makes butter
with no profit. There are in the hands
OF farmers many cows that have cost a
good deal of money once and were per-
haps good COWS at one time, but have
aoutlived their usefulness. These
should be fattened up at once and sent
TO the butcher. Some men say they
will fatten and dispose of their cows a
few months hence, when they have
$dried up. But what Is the use of keen
Eng cows at all if they are losing
money for their owners every day.
rhe sooner they are sent away the
icher will their owners be. Farmers
pnd dairymen can afford to keep only
good cows All others are detrimept

ter, felt to make the joints sir-tight.
The reader also asks if it would not
be all right to have the boards cut
end put in the partition as the silo is
filled. 1t would be impossible to make a
partition air-tight when put in In such
G manner. Too much care cannot be
taken in putting IN such a partition.
The ends will have to have much work
where joined TO the walls or air will
get through when one side is empty.
The work should be done in a good and
substantial manner, as there is great
pressure. Both sides should be filled
simultaneously and well oompacted at
all times. 1t would break down the
best made partition IL one side was
put in at time. After it is we'll set
tied if one side is taken out the press
ure is not so great.
When taking out the first slide, have
. large number of braces ready the
proper length and as fast as the Silage
Is used, put in the braces. Fig. 4 shows
the braces in position from the sides
of the silo to the partition. These
braces should have some pieces at the
ends running the opposite direction
to the material against which the
brace is to support That is, If the
kilo is stave and the partition horizon
tai to the brace, the end pieces should
be as in Fig. S. If the timber of the
outside of the sllo is horizontal, the
brace should be as in Fig. 6. When
one side of tbs silo is empty, there is
no danger of the wall giving way if
Interpretations are taken. Next year,
when filling, the braces as well as the
end pieces, should be taken out and
laid away for another year. BY this
method, the man with a small herd can
build moderate sized Silo and have
silsge through the dry time, as well
as winter at very small outlay of
money.-orange Judd Farmer.

DRY WEATHER PLANTING.
Little Judgment, Rightly Directed
VIII Save Much Annoyance
and Loss.

Peter Henderson some years age
called attention to the use of the
feet in planting vegetable seed in dry
weather. If small seeds are sown
and loosely covered with dry earth
they often fail to terminate, or, Just
after termination, they lie and per.
ish. If. however, the earth Is com.
pressed about the seed at the time
OF planting, such dying does not oc.
cur, and the seeds terminate well
even when the ground is very dry
To be sure, If the ground is full OF
moisture, this method would not be
followed.
The present season, at the time foI
early planting of sweet corn, the
ground was very dry. The persons
who planted the corn were directed
to press the earth hard over each hill
with the hoe. One followed direc,
tons, the other did not do so. Prac.
ticany all the corn which one planted
came up, and but little OF what the
other planted.
At the time for sowing clover seed
the ground is often very dry. In
such GASES we sow in drills, and com.
press each drill securely with the
feet, with uniform success.
A little Judgment used in planting
in dry seasons will save much an.
noyance and loss.-G. G. Croft. In N,

SEA ISLAND COTTON.

Capitalists.

The syndicate of Anglo-American
capitalists, headed by Hr. George w.
Ireland, of Philadelphia, and in which
Sir William Van Horne and a number
OF prominent Canadians are largely
Interested, have just purchased ESQ.,
900 acres of lands near Bayamo, In
eastern Cuba, and formed company
with capital Of $4,000, 900 to grow
sea island cotton in Cuba, believing
that this crop is destined to succeed
sugar as the islands staple export.
Members of the company announce
their purpose. not only TO produce
cotton for export TO Great Britain
and the continent of Europe, but to
also establish cloth mills here, so
that Cuba, like Georgia, may manu-
facture its own cotton goods for home
wear. They also propose TO erect
cotton seed oil mills and fertilizer
factories either at Manzanillo or San
tiago de Cuba-whicbever of these
two ports may be decided upon as
point of shipment. Improved mod
ern gins will be used, and great
compress will be put up at Bayamo.
Congress will admit their machinery
free of duties.
