DEVILIsH CRUELTY.

The reports come in from the range
country that the past winter has been
q hard one on the stock and that in
some sections the losses have been as
much as % per cent. This Is where
cattle and sheep are kept the year
round on the range to secure their own
living as best they may and given no
protection whatever from the billiards.
Of winter. Lacking the instinct and
the hardness of the native buffalo,
which was equal to such climatic con-
ditions, our native cattle, their food
buried in snow, drift before the bliz-
xard into coulees or railway cuts and
miserably perish. Because with an
open and mild winter the stock will
pull through without loss and big mon
ey is thus made all the cruel risks are
taken of climatic severity which en-
tails these heavy losses. The more
wise and humane of these cattle barons
provide shelter and food for these
emergencies, but there are still hun
dreds who do not, and the failure to do
so should be an indicta BILE offense with
a penitentiary tag to it.

TRAIN THE CHILDREN TO WORK.

The mother on the farm will be CIV
ing her ten or twelve year old son a
valuable part of his education If she
pies of household economy-how to
sweep out a room, make his bed, keep
his room in order. wash dishes and the
simpler forms of cooking. 1t never
hurts man to know how to do these
things, and knowing how to do them is
often great help to him. Where there
are two or three boys in the home and
no girls, as sometimes happens, the
work of the mother may be much light
ened by training boys along this line.
We know of more than one case where
the need of hired girl ia hardly felt
because the wise mother has trained a
son to assist her. On the other hand,
where the crop is all girls and no boys
the father may obtain most valuable
assistance FROM the girls properly train
ed to do certain kinds of outdoor work
not unsuited for woman to do. We
know of girls who can harness horse,
drive a team on sulky pillow or mower,
milk a COW, care for the garden, do
the family buying in town and are
none the less true ladies for the doing
of ii. In fact woman's chances or
matrimony are increased rather than
plishments with young men who take
q practical and serious view of life and
its responsibilities.

BIRDS AS INSECT DEsTRoYERs.

Few people realize the important
function birds perform of holding in
check the various forms of insect pests.
Their work is done so quietly and con-
tinuously that much Of it is rarely OBJ
served by man. Here are few fig
ures showing what they do: The stom-
ach of a quail was found to contain
101 potato bugs and that Of another
500 chinch bugs. A cuckoo killed early
in the morning contained 43 caterpil-
lars and another cuckoo PIT web
worms. A robin showed up with 175
caterpillars. The stomachs of four
chickadees contained 1,02S eggs of the
cankerworm Four others contained
600 eggs and 105 mature insects. 1t is
estimated that a barn swallow will
destroy 10000 flies and other insects
every week. The crop of dove con-
tanned 1900 weed seeds. Surely if
these are facts ii is easy to see what
an important relation exists between
the birds and the products of the farm,
orchard and garden.

HOW HE GOT HIS FOOT IN 1T.

We came across man the other day
for whom we felt sorry, though there
was no one to blame but himself, and
he ought to have known better. He
was the owner of a good farm in a
northern Illinois county and was out
of debt year or so ago. The north
western land craze hit him, and, for
getting all about the toll and hardship
endured to free from incumbrance his
for a small payment down and hiked
to North Dakota and bought $4,000
worth of land lying in the debatable
agricultural part Of that state, buying
1t mostly on time. When we met him,
he was in this fix: The man who bought
his farm backed out, FORGETTING his first
payment; there was no other buyer in
sight even at a marked decline in
price, and the Dakota fellows were
hustling him for big payment; inter
est rates had gone up 2 per cent and
money hard to get. 1t was impossible
for him to sell his Dakota land save at
a big loss, the settlers now having got
on to the facts connected with longi-
tude and annual rainfall. Altogether
he was in a cast iron sweat over his
folly. blaming himself bitterly for not
knowing when he was well of. There
are others just in his fix. When the
average man has got good farm and
il out of debt, he ought to be satisfied,
for he has his liber; share Of the good
things of this world.

PLANTING CORN.

We think that one should be govern
ed more by the season than by the al
manac in the matter Of planting corn.
In all the corn country north Of lati-
tude AZ corn as general thing needs
all the growing season In order to ma
ture well. 1t is not much use to plant
corn when the temperature Of the earth
and the air is below IS. While the 10th
of May is usually thought to be about
the right time to plant, it sometimes
happens that soil and weather condi-
tons are right for planting two weeks
earlier, and if they are the planting
should be done. 1t is always safer to
have the corn cut by spring frost
than by fall one.

The central butter making station
supplied with cream from the farms
using the farm separator and shipped
in twice a week by rail from terri
tory anywhere within 100 miles is be-
coming a disorganizing factor in exist
ing dairy methods in the west. 1t is
menacing the life of the cooperative
creameries working under the cream
cry system. The two things of thus
securing a better quality of skimmilk
for the young things on the farm and
the saving of the expensive haul on
the milk to the creamery are almost
insuring the success Of the innovation

1t has been noticed that in those

more damage than in those localities
where the gopher was unmolested.
While this little rodent eats some Of
the corn, he also destroys vast num-
Der of cutworms, and in some places
where bOunties have been paid for his
scalp he is now let alone for the good
that he does.

ABANDONED FARMS DOWN EAST.

There is no disputing the fact that
the so called abandoned farms Of the
east have an intrinsic value far in ex-
cess of the price asked for them, which
in many cases is less than the cost of
the buildings upon them. True, the
soils of such farms may be worn out
and unproductive, but there are good
homes to live in, good water, plenty Of
rainfall nearness to the best of mar
kets, usually more or less timber, eli

Here is a stock outfit for the average
quarter section farm: Four brood
mares, draft breeds, pony or mustang
for the boys, 16 selected cows with
good beef sire at the head Of the herd,
II steers to be fed and turned off as
beef at thirty months old, II calves,
30 mutton ewes, II brood sows, 200
hens of nonsitting kinds, 10 hen tur-
keys and gobbler, l shepherd dog,
4 boys and girls. Going with these

than four boys, so much the better,

this method can the continued de-

loss which can only be repaired by
the adoption of newer and better ways

NEW YORK. Jan. IA cable to the

the efforts OF mutual friends of LORD
Francis Hope and May Yohe, hand
some sum of money was cabled today
to the actress, now the wife of Putnam
Bradlee Strong, in New York, as a
compromise Of her claim against her
former husband.
May Yohe's claim was based on a
note for $45, 900, dated April 10, 1901, and
given to May Yohe. who was then
lI.aly Francis Hope, by Lord Hope.
The latter is thought to have acted
chivalrously in the matter, for the COM
promise, although under the face value
of the note is substantial 1t is thought
unlikely that May Yohe could have re-
covered the full amount in court, ana
even if her claim had been allowed, she
would have been compelled to take her
chances with other creditors in the
bankruptcy court.
