RIDING A eUcKING STEER
Il Is Called q Harder Task Than St'ok'
inn on . Buckinq Bronco.

TX is IdiIeO q F1dioSi -
ina on a Bucking Bronco.
"A bucking broncho," said the re-
tired cowboy, "is generally considered
the hardest proposition to ride In this
land, but until a man has tackled a
bucking steer he has not realized all
the possibilities of the gentle art.
"Out in the COW country they have
lust begun to learn the art. None or
the Wild West shows has got hold
of the few fellows who have mastered
the straddle and seat, and until they
do their congresses OF rough riders
will not be complete.
you can cinch a horse up until
there is little possibility OF the sad
dies slipping, but it can not be oone
on a steer, for the simple reason that
the skin is so much looser and there
is no place in which to gather up lost
motion. The horse has eighteen rlos
and a steer but thirteen.
when the horse bucks, as he Ices
when he is burdened with something
he uoSSu I walt W any nS N
can get a pretty firm bridge at most
any place between the crupper n
the shoulder. When the steer bucks,
as he generally does when he feels
a saddle on his back, there is a rolling
motion that is for all the world like
that Of a vessel at sea. The steer
pitches with a head and tail movement,
while a horse stops his side swings
before they range far.
The steer riding fad had it's start
down in Texas, where the animals are
wild enough to suit even the most
exacting cowpuncher, and it is now
being introduced further North. A
puncher's playtime is often long
enough to give him a chance for ex-
periments, and some of the more skill
full have got it down to a fine point.
But the hombre who thinks it is an
easy task to stick to a wild boy who
knows enough to do the grand buck
and pitch is down for an experience he
will carry in his book Of remembrance
for a long time"

FORGOT THE TAILOR'S NAME.
Unfortunate Experience Of Youth In
New York.

"It is not very often that tailors
collect cash for clothes they are un.
able to deliver" said an uptown mer-
chant. but a singular instance of that
sort came under my observation last
week. A young man from the West
was in here wanting to know whether
he had left $50 on deposit for clothes.
He seemed very much disappointed
when l told him he had not.
1T appeared from his story that he
wanted about $500 worth of clothes in
a hurry-two or three business suits,
dress clothes, and some trousers. He
saw some patterns that he liked in a
shop window, was measured, and COM
piled with the request for $50 on de-
post without a word. He got a re-
ceipt for it, of course, and then went
down town to see some fellows he
knew from the West. They gave him
a rousing good time all day, and took
him to the theater at night.
when he looked for that receipt In
the morning he couldn't find it. Then
Ho 5toA ~ thV uolCiy luluhluS IL
would be an easy thing to find the
tailor from whom he ordered the
clothes. But he couldn't remember
the name of the firm, nor was he sure
he could recognize the shop unless the
same goods were in the window. The
chances are ten to one they would not
be, or, at least, not arranged in the
same manner. About all that youth
knew was that the shop was on one Of
the cross streets somewhere between
Forty-secOnd and Twenty-third, but he
didn't remember whether it was East
or West. He trotted around for two
or three hours telling other tailors
the same story he told us, but he
hadn't found his clothes when we babe
him goodbye. That is the funniest
case Of forgetfulness I have run across
in my experience in this b%usiness."-

The Home Ruler.

A o time ago a party of young
men, who in their boyhood days had
been chums, met by chance. They had
all got married since they last met.
ana the conversation drifted to their
wives, and, incidentally, as to which
was boss of the house. One of the
party was so vehement as to his "rul.
ing the roost" that the others Thought
tney would investigate. A few days
afterwards one of them went to his
mousse on pretense of visiting him. His
wife answered the bell, and she was
asked:
rs the boss in?"
l am boss here" she replied. "1f
you mean George. he L. in the kitchen

the first tracking over a given point.
All subsequent passings must con-
tinue to pack and improve the bed
and still further lessen the draft,
while exactly the reverse is true of
the narrow tire. If the practical ex-
perience of every farmer did not un-
equivocally settle this fact, the ex-
periments made by the Experiment
Station at the University of Missouri
would place the matter beyond cavil.
There are other essentials which will
enter into bodybuilding of the flu
tur. This is one-a very important
one. All the more important be-
cause so fuitful of good results at a
cost whatever to the authorities, and
attended with no extra expense to
the user of the broad-tired wagan,
but on the other hand permits the
hauling of larger loads with lighter
draft and with far greater convent
than in any other way.

THE NAME IN THE GRAIN.

While it is yet weeks and ever
months before many of the agricul-
turists of this country will begin har-
vesting their grain crops, neverthe-
less there is scarcely a man, who, in
his imagination, cannot see the bill
lowy waves of the golden harvest
field and the name of his favOrite
binder as it moves through the yell
low grain.
The name on the binder flag is i'm
portant. 1t should be a name that
stands for something tangible-a
name that has stood the test of time
that has triumphed in every grain
feld-that has always represented
the highest attainment in the manu-
facture of harvesting machines
that satisfies the worlds demand.
The name Mccormick is world-re-
nowned, and on the flag of your bind
er means a pleasant and profitable
harvest.
A prominent writer recently said:
"AlI the honor that rightly falls to
pioneer inventors attaches to the
name Mccormick, but great as it is,
we esteem it even less than the honor
that attaches to a uniformly honest
construction of machines which bear
the name Mccormick" The flag on
the Mccormick has become known as
the farmers favorite flag" 1t is
the flag of success in the harvest
fields of the world.

avoid the cutting and rutting which
necessarily creates farCheavier draft
and frequently makes the street
absolutely impossible. The illustra-
ton herewith well illustrates our
meaning. We reproduce it by cour-
tesy of the Electric Wheel Company,
of Quincy, Illinois, who, by the man
ufacture of a wheel admirably adapt
ed to the purpose we are considering,
is doing much to further the cause of
good roads all over this country. It
will be apparent that the draft must
be much lighter for the broad-tired
wheel than the narrow one, even for

consequence in the United States.
An assembly constituted as this
one was should been able to shape
some policy to bring order out of a
very chaotic but all-important sub
ject. \ most healthy sign was the
presence of the strong hand of the
General Government, heartily sec
ondcd by the different States. We
cannot conceive of any field in which
State or nation can direct or en-
couragcithe spending of money which
will bring to the great body of rural
people such a direct and permanent
good as the improvement of it's high
ways. Necessarily, the convention
concerned itself with general topics.
No definite plan was formulated for
the detailed work of road improve
ment. Yet something in this line
would have been a step in the right
direction, and of all things the most
practical. We instance the element
airy principles of rOad-making, name
ly, drainage, raising centres of roads
and rolling. Even outside of paw
ing, these are considered prime es-
SentlaIS In the municipalities. They
should be also first essentials in the
country. The first two are ~corrcla-
i've, the II being the necessary re-
suit OF the other. As to the rolling
and packing Of the road-bed, if the
purchase of heavy engines for the
purpose, such as are used in cities
ana towns, be too radical a prelimi-
nary step, the convention would have
adopted at least one good practical
measure If it had passed a resolution
