Cattle Everyone Wants.

1t will pay the farmer best to raise
the kind of cattle that everyone
wants, but most farmers that are pro-
ducing cattle at all are raising the
ones that nobody wants. These latter
find a market, but 1t is at reduced
price. In fact the price has to he
made low as an inducement to the
buyers to make bids on the kind OF
animals they are not particularly
looking for. That most growers Of
cattle are satisfied with the kind Of
animals they are sending to market
is doubtless true. They have made
money on cattle and so are not par
ticular to improve their stock. They
have never figured out how much
more could have been made on the
kind of cattle that everyone wants.
The buyers of cattle at the stock
yards are constantly on the lookout
for the best cattle. AS soon as a fine
bunch appears there are numerous
buyers ready to make bids. 1t Is this
competition among buyers that sends
up the price and this yields returns
that are very satisfactory to the
breeder. On the other hand when a
poor bunch comes to the yards most
Of the buyers look at it and pass by.
Here and there man stops and, after
a cursory examination, remarks that
it is not what he is looking for but
he will pay so-and-so for it, and the
cattle have to be sold at the "so-and-
so" price. How can man expect to
get a good price for animals that do
not appeal to the buyer? But in spite

parent, the producers of beef keep on
for the most part raising the cattle
that few people want and sending
them to market, at the same cost that
would be necessary for the production
Of the best quality of beeves. The
transportation of cheap animals is as
costly as the transportation of good
animals. The poor animals take as
much care and as much stall room as
the other animals. The remedy is to
stop saving money on bulls and pur-
chase only those that will improve
the herd.

CARRIED OFF THE KoHINooR.
Lord paIhousie Brought Famous Stone
From India to England.

Lord Daihousie Brought Famous stone
From India to England.
Lord Dalhousies name will always
be intimately associated with the
famous Kohinoor diamond, and the
story Of how he brought it from India
to England has been retold in one Of
the new books. In 1S49, after the
second sikh war, Dalhousie confiscat-
ed the stone on account of the heavy.
debt owing the East India company
by the Lahore state. Dalhousie sent
1t to Queen Victoria. Great care had
to be exercised in carrying 1t across
India. "The tassels of the armlet. in
which the diamond was Set" says the
account, "had been cut off to dimin-
ish the bulk and Lady Dalhousie had
lnclosed the armlet with its jewel in
leather bag, this again being sewed
into belt lined with channels leather,
which Dalhousie wore by night and
day. Two dogs were chained to the
governor generals camp bed and no
one but his wife and Capt. Ramsay
were in the secret of the jewels COR

Saves Money In Vines.

Instead of blowing down coal In
mines by means Of dynamite an Eng
lishman intends to make use OF n.y.
draulic cartridge, which is said to
obviate the wasteful shattering OF the
fuel. The cartridge is 20 inches IN
length. Orifices along its sides admit
of the application of pressure OF
some three tons per square inch. The
total pressure is about sixty tons.
When inserted in hole the cartridge
is coupled up with small hand pump.
Il is said that in a few minutes after
the apparatus has been at work the
coal breaks up and falls in great
blocks. About one and one-half pints
of water are used in the operation.
One colliery proprietor who has adopt
ed the invention for use in three mines
computes that each cartridge saves
SIS per week.

On the Ranges.

Reports from the ranges indicate
. large supply Of cattle and very good
agricultural conditions. The rains
have been copious during large part
of this grazing season and conse-
quently the production CT grass on the
plains has been good. The lack of
drinking facilities has not been felt
on the plains this year as in some
former years; for the reason that
many of the springs have been kept
supplied by the rains. This has made
q condition that is favorable for graz,
ing. The only drawback is that last
winter was unusually severe on range
stock and they came into spring in
poor condition, thus necessitating a
longer feeding period in summer for
their preparation for market. The
abundance of good grass encourages
the rangers to believe that the cattle
will put on weight raEitly from now
on.

these three young embryo lawyers
