"AIore cattle are being raised in the
west than ever before. Ranches Of
thousands of acres have been divided
into small farms, but each farmer
raises much more in the aggregate" e"
said Robert S. Faulkner, of Kansas
City. 1T Is true the big ranches of 20
years ago have disappeared but these
lands are held in smaller parcels by
farmers who are largely engaged in
raising corn and feeding stock Where
there were formerly herds Of several
thousand cattle there are now many
small farmers who raise from 20 to so
head Of cattle annually. The horse and
mule business has been on the boom
for several years, and that gave the inn
preston that the cattle raising had
become a side issue. During the Boer
war the British made the raising Of
horses and mules quite a profitable
business for us in the western states" :"

PASSING OF OsAGE HEDGE.
Miles of Fences Have DisaDDearet
since the Invention of
Barbed Wire.

The Usage hedges which border thou
sands of Illinois farms are gradually
disappearing. This hedge, introduced
half century ago by Prof. j. B. Turner,
Of Jacksonville, became very popular,
and for many years was a favorite
fence, not only with farmers, but with
lot owners in the smaller towns, and
with the railroad companies, says the
Chicago Inter Ocean.
The high price Of fence posts and
lumber made the osuge an economical
fence, also, and in spite of its faults
it gradually became extensively used.
1t held its own until wire fencing ap-
peared Then it became evident that
the Usage was doomed Wire fencing
was more effective, was cheaper, tool,
up less room and required less care.
The railroads began grubbing up their
hedges and substituting wire. The
farmers followed their lead, and where
there used to be miles Of hedge there
are only rods Of It now
The osage is still used for wind
breaks, but owing to the fact it is in
furious to vegetation near it is becom-
ing fixed idea-it will probably soon be
abandoned entirely.

Colorado resembles the Nile in being

also possess great fertilizing proper

MFN INFERIoR To cATs.
Several Points In which the Feline
Has the Advantage over the
Human Species.

There are several points in which
man is inferior to the cat. The cat,
for one thing, has no vermiform ap-
pendix, and consequently never suf-
fers from appendicitis. furthermore,
while man has chosen to be a noe
turnal as well as a diurnal creature
he has only the diurnal vision;
whereas the cat, devoting 'its days to
civilization and its nights to barbar-
ism" can see in the dark as well as
in the light, having a patent adiusta-
bic eye, says the New York Mail and
Express.
She possesses nine lives and all of
them have to be taken in order TO
get rid of the cat. If the red slayer
thinks he slays he knows not well
the subtle ways in which this admir-
able certure passes, turns and brings
forward her successive entities for
obliteration. Drowned in the pond
she returns to the woodshed or the
kitchen door, requiring to be shot.
Shot, she comes back to be asphyX-
lated. smothered by the fumes of
chloroform. she revives and calls for
prussic acid. She is a walking, liv-
ing. breathing, vociferating exempli-
fication Of the principle of metemp-
sychosis. Her reincarnations in one
brief period outrival those to which
man is condemned by the Hindoo
theology in hundreds of years and
her avatars outnumber Buddha's.
1t is no wonder that the Egyptians
worshiped the cat. She has been able
to get hold of some principle which
man, the boaster, who vaunteth him
self almost "a god, is denied.
