Beet without Corn.
(Contributed.l


There has long been contention be
tween the cattlemen Of the west and the
feeders of the east as to the possibility
of finishing the range cattle on the range
into beef, instead of turning them of as
feeders as in the past. Experiments
made during the past few years have
produced surprising results in many
cases without the use OF corn. Cattle
finished in the mountains Of Colorado on
alfalfa alone topped the Denver marAet
the past summer and cattle fed on sugar
beets with little wheat and corn to
finish have brought fancy prices on the
eastern markets. 1t is estimated that
Colorado stockmen lose annually more
than 100000 because they do not finish
their cattle before shipping them to
market, to say nothing of the crops that
might be raised and utilized. Those
who have studied the agricultural situa-
ton in the west argue that economy de
mands that the farmers devote their at
ton to stock raising and feeding. They
point to the fact that the bulk of the
land will always be useless for any pur-
pose but grazing and that farming oper-
ations, to be profitable, must be con-
Quoted as supplementary to the use Of
the vast pastures. In other words, that
the greatest value of the farming lands
eventually will be to produce feed for
wintering and finishing cattle that have
had free board upon free public pastures
during the summer.
All over the west farmers and stock.
growers are busy experimenting along
this line and at Denver February %, "a
and % some results will be seen at the
first Fat Stock and Feeder exhibition to
be given there for the sole purpose of
demonstrating what can be done. This
promises to be one of the most interest
ing exhibitions ever held in the west and
will attract much attention. Every stock
man is interested in this proposition and
should do something towards making it
success. The result of this show will
undoubtedly have strong bearing up
on the future Of the industry in the
west 1t is astonishing what can be
done in the way OF making beef with
materials that can be found on every
ranch in the west.

Newspaper Published in r,id-oeeau.

A daily newspaper in mid ocean with
all the news of the previous twenty four
hours will, for the future, be produced
as regularly aboard the big ocean liner
as it is in Fleet street. M. Marconi's
most recent developments Of wireless
telegraphy have rendered this miracle
possible. The end of the present month
will see British mail steamer sailing
from Liverpool equipped with n com
plete staff and plant for the publication
on board of newspaper every day dur
ing the voyage to New York. Other
ships, British and foreign, will be obliged
to follow suit. There is no doubt or
uncertainty about the prospect. The
contracts have been made. Cuthbert
Hall, the managing director Of Marconi's
English company, has informed repre-
sentative of the Daily Telegraph that
the arrangements have all been com
pleted. The Marconi company will sup
ply the news, and the printers and ma
chinery necessary to produce the first
ocean newspaper are all ready to begin
their work. London item in Newspaper

The Ensx Pill

DeWitt's Little Early Risers do not
gripe nor weaken the system. They cure
bilfousness, iaundice, constipation and
inactive livers, by arousing the secre-
tions, moving the bowels gently, yet eff
fectually, and giving such tone and
strength to the glands OF the stomach,
liver and bowels that the cause of the
trouble is removed entirely. These ia
nous little pills exert decided tonic eff
feet upon the organs involved, and il
their use is continued for few days there
will be no return of the trouble. o. r.

Az to "Treating" IN Vermont.

Commenting on statement made by
the Boston Transcript, to the effect that
in Massachusetts 43 per cent of the per
sons annually committed to penal insti-
tutions for drunkenness are first offend
ers; that is, have never before been sem
fenced for that offence, and that it would
seem to be a poor way to reform them
by shutting them up with hardened Grim
mails, the New York Evening Post says :
Perhaps better way of lessening
drunkenness by law may he developed in
Vermont Only recently has 1t become
generally known that the license law
adopted in that State, when the people
tired of prohibition as a deterrent of in
temperance contains an anti-treatins
provision. That clause of the law reads
NO intoxicating liquor shall be sold or
furnished to a person or other person, or
any number of persons, to drink in the
licensed promises in the way commonly
known as treating " If this can be en-
forced it will certainly lessen drinking,
and the authorities and the temperance
workers are trying To enforce 1t. They
are likely to meet with much opposition
from the drink sellers to whom the treat
ing habit is a source Of much income.
The latter, however, cannot maintain the
custom without the aid of their patrons,
and why should not the latter take refuge
under the law from the unneeded Hood OF
drink? 1t is safe to say that the average
| drinkcr enters "A saloon to get one glass,
| or at most two That he drinks more Is
| because he and others are slaves TO the
notion that if they don't ask their friends
! to drink with them they will be con
| sidered unsOCial or mean. 1t is Just as
| vulgar as that other feature of the Am
eriCan saloon--the standing In a row al
"a bar and swiling beer like pigs at q
trough. The one Is the outgrowth OF the
other, and may Vermont show the way
to remedy BOTH in the interest of de-
| cency as well as temperance. Another
| worthy feature of the Vermont law is
that the man who doesn't wish to drink
| at all, but hasn't the moral courage tc
say So can cite the statute in protec
ton. When asked to come in and have
something he can reply that it is con
| trary to law.
This reads well; but betrays singular
innocence, as well as ignorance of the
conditions in this State. The anti-treat
ing clause was put into our present Law
by the license men, as sort of tub tC
| the temperance whale. They knew i
would not and could not be enforced an,
the license organs said so at the time
If any serious attempt to enforce 1t II

ed as a monopoly.

Right here is where state legislation
fails and national legislation apparently
proves effective. however. 1t will be re-
membered that the federal suit brought
against the same defendants was for
violation of the Sherman antitrust law
passed by the national Congress, and that
decision in favor of the government was
rendered in the United States Circuit
Court. The Northern Securities company
decided to carry the case to the Supreme
Court of the United States and the appeal
In that case is now pending.
While the chances would seem to be in
favor OF the establishment of the prn-
ciple that an individual can own stock
in two or more corporations, 1t is diff
ficult to see how the Northern Securities
company can hope to show that it was
not created for the purpose of eliminating
competition in the carrying trade en-
braced by these respective railroad lines.
If this proves to be the case, the people
will he compelled to look exclusively to
national legislation for relief from the
practical consolidation of railroad lines
for the purpose of establishing transpor-
tation monopoles.

HINTS FOR HOME MAKERS.

An evidence that furniture manufacture
ers accept the necessity for economy of
space in most city living is noted in
some hedsteads recently seen. These are
fitted with drawers at each end extend
ing across the width. They are entirely
enclosed and are thus protected from the
dust, and will hold bodCcs, a fluffy boa
or some daintily trimmed hat that de
mands space from all encroachment.
The Italian cook IN preparing "a salad
dressing omts pepper as one of its in
gredents. With that exception the dress
ing is like that Of French, in the method
of compromising. BY way of beginning,
a Glove of garlic is rubbed around the
bowl, then the leaves, whatever they
may be-lettuce, cndve. chicory, romano
or some other green-are sprinkled with
salt before oil is dropped over them as
they are tossed about, till a percepthle
coating is made. a little vinegar is then
sprinkled through, the proportion being
about one tablespoonful to six of oil,
A recent trip abroad quite dispelled the
pleasure New York woman had there
tofore taken in the beautifully polished
floors of such French homes as she had
visited in this country. When she saw,
in France the serious effort needed to
keep the bare floors in condition, her ad-
miration of the latter was diminished.
Women work on their knees. rubbing a
brick wrapped in wooden cloths over the
waXed surfaces, for hours at n time in
way that tires one to look at them.
The statement that chest and lung trou-
bles are frequently produced from this
labor was easily credited after sight
of the maids at the toll, The weighted
brush much used in this country is AN
improvement, but even this is out of
place in the hands of a small delicate
woman, and the work should be reserved
for the weekly visit of the odd Job man.

A single case of prosecution under the
clause is, we believe, on record in n
Vermont city. intended, perhaps, to
show how easily the law could be cvaded
AS we recall the facts a man testified
that he ordered a drink at n bar; laid
down three or four times the price of a
drink on the counter, and did not
take his change. Two or three of
his acquaintance then stepped up and
had drinks for nothing. The Justice held

this thin disguise is in most cases not
needed Neither bartender nor treatcrs
nor drinkers will supply evidence on
which to base prosecutions for eating
A policeman cannot be kept at the elbow
of every bartender to prevent treating,
and the average policeman would not see
anything when treating was going on,
even If he did not take his treat with
the rest OF course the clause does not
serve to stffen the moral courage Of any
man, for the treater would laugh in his
face If he offered the anti-treating clause
in excuse for declining to drink. 1t prob
ably would take less courage for man
to say he did not wish to drink than to
plead the law in excuse for declining.
The antitreating feature Of the Vermont
law amounts to nothing. 1t has not stop

American treating practice is a great pro-
