The primary cause for this condition

struggle for commercial supremacy,
and the immediate cause gross and stu
pendous mismanagement on the part

Cattle Range. Are van,.hiuu.

Many of the large Western cattle
ranches have been broken up by the
increase of irrigation, which makes
smaller farms more profitable In pro.
portion than ranches. 1t has been pre-
dlcted that before many years nearly
all cattle viii be raised on small farms
or fenced ranges. Another reason is
that the free Government land once
occupied by the cattlemen is being rap
idly taken up by farm settlers.

1t is not necessary for a cow to

sheen that PAY.

No farmer should keep sheep be
cause they are scavengers and can
pick Off a large share of their food
from scanty heritage. Such sheep
must be active to travel over large
spaces in order to find subsistence. To
expect sheep TO pay without the in
vestment of labor is to sacrifice profits.
Success is assured only when the
farmer is willing to use breeds that
give large carcasseS and which re-
spond quickly to care and attention.
1t is only the labor. after all, that
makes profit. but the labor must be
bestowed on the best to be had

Feed for YounE Animals.


The younger an animal the more
mineral matter it requires in its food.
When very young pigs are growing
they are producing bone very rapidly
IN proportion to size. and consequent
~ require more phosphates in their
food, especially of lime in a soluble
condition. Milk contains all the nee
essary substances for pigs, but after
a while they become of such sizes as
TO be unable to consume enough milk
to supply them, as they must drink
about eight times as much water in
the milk as there are solids. To sup
ply this deficiency corn meal is added,
but corn meal is deficient in mineral
matter. Bran, ground oats, shipstuff
and finely cut clover hay (scalded), in
addition to the milk and corn meal,
will prove advanta geous.

WHISKY PRICES AGAIN DROP.

Peoria, Ill. Nov. 5.-A sensation was

ncunced that the basing price of whisky

drop by successive stages Of 5 cents In
about two months. The continued drop

who are convinced that the trust has be-
gun a war of determination
The usual basing price is around 81. 30
When. therefore, it drops so low as the
present figure, 1t usually presages a bitter
war. Whisky men are reticent as to de-
tails. giving the reason as strong COM
petition.
For some time past the war for bust
ness between the trust houses in this city
and the three observation-disclosures &
Co, Corning & Co.. and Clark Bros. &
Co.-has bean particularly active. The
fight has been carried on between the in
dependents as individuals and collectively
against the trust.
Well-informed whisky men are of the
opinion that the war has just begun and
that the price may go still lower. All the
local houses are running at full capacity,
grinding nearly 0o.00 bushels Of corn per
day.

RAILROADS SEEK
SAFETY DEVICES
Numerous Accidents Have Awak-
ened Managers to the Imper--
fections to Be Found in the
Block Signal System.

The report of the Interstate Commerce
Commission on the number of accidents
in the fiscal year ending Jun 80, 1904, and
the continuance of accidents after that
period, has awakened railroad managers
to the fact that even the much-boasted
block-signal system has glazing imperfec-
tons. II has been found that the element
of carelessness or human weakness plays
too important n part in the operation Of
the block signal and operating officials are
pursuing with renewed diligence that
much-tc-be-desired system, device or
mechanism by which trains are operated
solely and entirely by mechanical means.
Theoretically the block signal affords alb
solute security. Under it no two trains can
approach each other either from the rear
or front less than ten minutes apart n
road being divided into block sections at
each section is placed an operator. VINO
notes the time a train enters his block and
will not allow another train to enter it I'M
TIL at least ten minute have passed.
If the train on the block should be de-
rallied 1t Is the duty of the conductor 10
Immediately send a fasman far back and
far in front to signal any other train.
These conditions would make the block
system seem invulnerable, but accidents
nave occurred with alarming frequency on
roads operated under this system. and here
the element of human frailiy enters. n
operator may he careless and think that
the train on the block IS too far ahead to
be caught by the incoming train; the sig

to look behinu Tor further signals; the

but this is OF rare occurrence. though in
time of heavy traffic instances " been
cited when the engineer. through sheer
WEAKNESS. fell asleep at his post and nat
urally failed to see the LANCER signal.
William Cotter. formerly manager of the
Missouri Pacific, ~inaugurated n put In
effect a signal system on the Iron Noun
tain which Is regarded as a lasting mon
ument to his good judgment.
In this system. which is operated by
electricity, the human carelessness ele-
ment is reduced to a minimum. As soon
as a train enters a block the signal at
the entrance and exit swings to and stays
there until the train leaves the block,
when it returns to safety.
II a landslide occurs. covering the rack,
both signals swing to danger. and. in
deed. if any object is placed on both rails.
the electric current snaps the signal at
the ends of the block TO the danger angle.
. Railroad officials are investigating the
system put in by Mr.. Cotter. and 1t is
believed that 1t has saved the Missouri
Pacific thousands of dollars.

the only debt of the company was $780,
900 due to Meyer Bros. Drug Company,
and that the daily net receipts of the

Mr.. Brandt alleges that the company
owed the Meyer Company $4,000. besides
the $4,000: that it owed F. v. Fills a
salary on commission, and that 1t had 9TH
err Indebtedness amounting to $1,000.

RUSSIANS AND JEFFERSON
GUARDS BATTLE AT FAIR.
UDiighted Cigarette I'm SaadouIIah
O~usmanOfrs Mouth Causes Fierce
Fight In Varied Industries.

An unlighted cigarette between the lips
of a Russian Cossack standing near his
booth in the Russian section in the Varied
Industries building yesterday morning was
the innocent cause OF a fierce combat be-
tween three Russians and two Jefferson
Guards.
The opposing forces fought all around
the section and when the fight wa over
the Cossacks were under arrest, much
battered and worse for the wear.
Besides the bruised heads OF the COM
batants, the struggle worked havoc to the
show cases. porcelains, statuary and other
wares in the exhibit booths.
1t was 19:59 o'clock yesterday morning
when Saadoullah Ousmanoff. a Cossack,
60 years old, stood outside his booth ex-
tracing comfort from an unlighted cigar
cite between his lips. Morton Lille, a JEFF
ferson Guard, on duty in the building, saw
him and the cigarette and notified him
that 1t was a violation of the rules for the
cigarette to be In evidence in the building.
at the same time asking him to put it out
of sight.
The Cossack refused. and Lille thereupon
attempted TO arrest him. Lille soon per-
ceived the truth of the saying thai to
scratch a Russian is to find a Tartar. Gus
msnof resisted vigorously and struck the
guard.
Thereupon a fierce struggle ensued, and
Lille blew his whistle. summoning Arthur
X Evans. another guard. to his assist
ance. Russian re-enforcements arrived to
the relief OF the ~beleaguered Cossack in
the persons of Tassouf Toussouton and r.

The Russians fought bravely, but the
billies of the guards did deadly execution,
and soon Ousmanoff was down, bleeding
from a broken head The guards also were
bruised in several places. The Russians
