THE RIVER OPENS.
[Dayenpoet Times. I


The river is open and the people OF
the three cities feel a new joy. When
the steamers begin their regular trips
and the ferry threads the waters peo-
pie here begin to feel that they are
more closely in touch with the outside
world. Up the river just u little way
is Clinton or Dubuque or Lacrosse,
while down stream are Muscatine,
Burlington Keokuk and st. Louis. 1t
seems TO be a long way by railroad to
these towns. but by the river they are
just around the distant hill and curve.
There may be some living here who
do not feel a strange thrill when the
river opens. They are probably men
and women who have moved to this
community recently. The natives, SO
TO speak, the men and women whose
fathers and mothers lived here before
them, and those who have passed two
or more summers on the river bank.
feel THIS inexplicable thrill of joy when
the river is opened for navigation. In
sense, perhaps. it is due to the fact
that before the days of railways the
river was the only means of commune
cation from settlement to settlement
and from the isolated groups of civili-
cation to those larger centers that sup
piled the needs of the hardy pioneers.
When the Ice filed the stream from
bank to bank these pioneers We're cut
off from the sources Of their supplies.
When the river opened and the steam
ers began to come and go people were
again brought into touch with their
friends up and down the Mississippi.

er steamers. There is something fas-

Keep tho Tested Bull.

Professor Davenport of the Illinois
Agricultural College believes that the
general practice among farmers of US
ing only very young bulls. disposing of
them at about three years Of age, re-
gardless of their qualities is very bad
one. He thinks the bulls that prove
themselves to be producers of the right
kind of stock should be retained in SER
vice much longer. Speaking on this
subject before the Kansas Stock Breed
ers' Association he said:
find that the prevailing custom the
country over. is to buy young bull,
year or younger. and sell him when
he is about three or four years old
That is done a great deal. About
year ago I submitted the following
questions to about 1000 breeders: "Do
you test bulls, and if so, how, and if
you don not. why not? One man an
swered, what is the use of testing !?
