RIVERS STILL OVERLOOKING

vincennes in Greater Danger Than
Any Other Indiana City.
indianapolis, March 3O.-All rivers
tributary to the Wabash and Ohio are
still OVERLOOKING
At Vincennes the danger now seems
greatest, but every precaution is being
taken to prevent the possible breaking
of levees. Nearly all of the large
manufacturing plants have been
forced to close, and it is thought that
the city gas plant will have to close.
The electric light and power plant is
also in danger.
In the White river bottoms 10000
acres of wheat are inundated. At Pc
tersburg the river has backed into
several mines, forcing them to close.
HaZleton is completely isolated
The guage at Evansville registers
IS feet inches, which is almost foot
above the danger line.
Between Evansville and Terre
Haute several levees have broken,
flooding hundreds of valuable FARMS
The Wabash and White rivers are
still rising. All of lower Mount Car
mel is inundated and 100 people are
homeless. Steamboats, and RATS are
being used to rescue people and live
stock The wheat crop is ruined.

Who knew better than she how cruel
they were. She had seen the fire leap
from the white blossom and heard the
ball whistle, the ball they had meant
for his heart-that good, great heart.
She had run to him the night before.
Why had she let him go into the un-
known and the storm tonight? But
how could she have stopped him? How
could she have kept him after what he
had said? He had put It out of her
power to speak the word "Stay!" She
peered into the night through distort-
ing tears.
The wind had gone down a little, but
only little, and the electrical flashes
danced all round the horizon in mag
niticent display, sometimes far away,
sometimes dazingly near, the darkness
doubly deep between the intervals
when the long sweep of fiat lands lay
In dazzling clearness, clean cut in the
washed air to the finest detail of strick-
en- field and heaving woodland
A staggering flame Glove earth and
sky, and sheets Of light echoed it, and
a frightful uproar shook the house and
ratified the easements, but over the
crash Of thunder Minnie heard her
friends loud scream and saw her
spring back from the window with
both hands, palms outward, pressed to
her face. She leaped to her and threw
her arms about her.
"What is it?''
"Icok" Helen dragged her to the
window. at the next flash! The

'What was it? What was it likeY'
The lightning flashed necessarily.

Minnie answered brea thlessly.
"Oh, the fence! The fence! And in

RAINS ARE THREATENED.
Promise of Another Big Flood at Saqi.
nav, Mich.


nav, Mich.
Saginaw, Mich, March 3O.-Flood
conditions in this city and vicinity are
not improved. The water in the river
has risen about five inches in the past
tWenty-four hours, and the choking up
OF sewers has increased the area of the
flooded district. The Flint, Shiawas-
see, .Cass and Bad rivers are falling.
If the weather should remain clear
and warm there would be little more
damage done, but rains are threatened,
the temperature is rising rapidly and
there is promise of another big flood
on top of the present volume of water.
All industrial plants on the river
are shut down and 5000 men or more
are out of work. Conditions between
here and Bay City, in the villages of
Carrollton, Milwaukee and Grow Island,
are distressing.
A tug went down the Saginaw river
twice Tuesday and rescued many peo-
pie. One old couple, Mr. and Mrs.
Bockaw, who had been in the water
since Friday, will die. Hundreds Of
cattle, horses and hogs are either dead
or dying with no relief in sight
The financial loss in the county will
probably reach three-quarters of a
million dollars.

Livestock Industry
The Steer.

The grown steer with a framework
of bone overlaid with muscles and en-
cased in hide requires a certain guam
tity of nutriment for mere existence.
To supply this much alone only en-
ables it to continue life but does not
appease the appetite which Graves still
more food. If provender beyond main
tenance requirements is supplied the
steer converts some of the surplus
into fat and stores it away among the
muscular tissues of the body, In the
bones as marrow, under the hide and
about the viscera, says Field and
Farm" This fat is fuel in the animal
economy for which nature shows an
eagerness by manufacturing and lay
ing up a certain amount against the
time of need. When first put on full
feed, the steer gains rapidly in fat,
gratifying the feeder as the increase
is reported by the scales. After few
months, however, the appetite loses
it's keen edge, and the steer shows
daintiness not exhibited at first when
taking food. If placed on the scales
from time to time smaller and smaller
gains are shown each day. The fatten-
ing process may be likened to initiating
a bicycle tire or football with air.
The operation is rapid and easy at
first. but becomes more and more diff
cult until the limit is reached. The
steer finally reaches the point where
it shows no gain whatever, although
consuming considerable feed. 1t has
been fattened to the limit, and retro
gression is soon evident. The wise
feeder, recognizing these conditions,
aims to fatten cattle rapidly and as
soon as they are in acceptable condl-
ton disposes of them without delay

who wants to breed up his herd and
continue to raise cattle and it is the
producers who quietly attend to their
business of raising cattle and let spec
ulation alone who are going to come
out on top of this depression. By the
time the increase is once on two years
old cattle will be up again to good
prices. The shortage in steers that
is staring us in the face is a big item,
or will be when it is fully discovered
in the course of year or so. This
country has been cleaned out of young
steers and large shipments have been
made of young COWS and calves be-
cause that stuff has brought better
prices in proportion than the big
steers Now the calf-crop was very
short all over the country this year as
we'll as last year. These things will
certainly affect the cow business next
year and the shortage in calf crop will
make a difference for two years.

Livestock and Poultry Advertising.

The growth of the livestock industry
in the great Northwest during late
years has been remarka BILE, yet there
is room for an immense trade in such
property by those who have animals
suitable for foundation herds. Settlers
from the east are constantly pouring
into the state and taking up farms.
They are, in the majority Of cases,
farmers who have made money in the
east and have come to the extreme
northwest in order to get more elbow
room and a chance to make more
money. It is these who create so great
demand for all classes of livestock
cattle, horses, hogs, sheep, poultry,
and, in a good many cases, Angora
goats. They are not informed as to
the men who may have the stock to
sell, so they naturally turn to the
columns of the leading farm papers
for the information wanted.
1t would appear, from the disinclina-
ton to advertise shown by many, that
the facts above recited are not fully
appreciated by the livestock and poul-
try interests of the northwest. Dozens
of inquiries reach The Ranch for the
names and addresses of breeders OF
certain kinds of animals, owing to
the fact that this publication has
very extensive circulation. Numbers
of the newcomers have been taking
the journal long before they come out
to settle, and naturally they turn to it
for the desired information as to who
have stock or poultry that they want.
1t would be a profitable investment
were every livestock or poultry breeder
to take the bushel off from over his
candle at once.

It is clear that the cattle business
in the ranch country will in the next
five or ten years be entirely reorgan-
lied. Fewer but better cattle will be
produced. The sales of range steers
for feeders have turned the attention
of the ranchmen more and more TO-
ward producing high class of feeders
and shipping them to the corn belt TO
be finished off. The ranchmen nave
for years been using firSt-class bulls
and their experience justifies them in
using still better blood in the future.
All this means that farmers in the
corn and tame grass belt must either
settle down to feeding range steers
or to producing strictly high class
cattle and they cannot do the latter in
competition with us because of their
high priced lands. The demand for
choice individual pure bred bulls will
continually increase and the breeder
who concentrates his energies to breed
ing and advertising them in the right
papers will reap the reward to which
he is entitled
