The Biggest Stock Ranch.

uS OI94SSI SuO\h H0ssNu.
The biggest cattle ranch in the world
is that of Don Luis Terazas in the state
of chihuahua, Mexico. Its greatest ex-
tent from north to south is $50 miles
and from east to west 200. 1t contains
about 8 million acres and upon its prai-
ries, mesas, mountains and baranacas
roam one million cattle, 100000 sheep
and 100, 900 horses.
The Terrazas homestead is undoubt-
edly the finest farmhouse" in the
world, for it cost 2 million dollars in
Mexican money, and, next to Chapulte-
pee, is the most richly finished and fur
nished castle in the republic. The mar
BILE with which it is lavshly embellish-
ed was brought from Italy, and 100
European workmen and artists labored
for the fulfllment of the rich owners
idea Of a home.
A hundred servants, gardeners, far
mers and vanqueros are quartered at
Quinta Carolina, which is the name Of
this sumptuous farm home, and scat
tered about the vast estate of Terrazas
are more than LOCO horsemen' COW
punchers, line riders, shepherds and
hunters. The outlaying stations or
ranch houses are 1000 in number, and
each in the center of activity for.Ithe
surrounding divisions :. of z the iis.vast
ranch.
The Terrazas ranch is the onlyssone in
the world that maintains its own slaugh-
tering and packing plant, and its estab-
lishment in the city of Chihuahua, at
the edge of the big farm, is the only
enterprise of that kind in Mexico.
Every year 100, 600 cattle with the Ter
razas brand upon their hides are slaugh-
tered, pressed and packed in this plant.
and in some years as many as $4,000
sheep have been handled in the same
manner. Don Louis the master of the
great rancho, is not satisfied with the
vast wealth rapidly accruing from his
herds, flocksand fields. He has an am
bjtion to teach his countrymen some
thing of the modernized methods of
farming. State Capital

Gam bling On Races.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Feb. T.
Gov. Joseph w. Folk to-day for
warded to both houses of the
Legislature special message
dealing chiefly with legislation
affecting the proposed repeal of
the breeders law, which licenses
book-makers to sell pools in GER
tain Enclosures, the fee going to
the support of the State Fair.
Gov. Folk urges the amendment
of the breeders law so as to
eliminate the lcening of gamb-
ling by the State. He says:
Stripped Of it's useless YER
biage, this act levies tribute upon
gambling upon the results of
horse racing; in this respect it is
indefensible from any moral
standpoint.
1t 1t be argued that men will
gamble and that the State might
as we'll profit by their lust for the
game, it could with equal force
be argued that men will kill, and
therefore the State should license
murder in certain forms and in
certain places, so as to profit by
this weakness of mankind.
This is not the demand of a
frenzied morality, but of sound
and healthy public sentiment. /
recommend that an amount equal
to the income now derived from
the licensing of pool selling be
appropriated for the maintenance
of the State Fair.

tgfass. No more we saw the trees
and flowers, but still we sang our
songs, and / was happy.
There wassanother voice add
ed to our anthems, a strong, man
ly voice, which sang so l
thought-far too late into the
night. With my head under my
wing, it seemed to my tiny mind
that the music was married, /
would often wonder why we left
the pleasant porch where first we
sang together; for the heat and
glamor of that effulgent flat.
But you, sweet mistress, your
plumage was much more beauti-
full than before, and well, /
liked him because he gave me
sugar. Together we sang as
happily, or nearly as happily as
ever. when he came no longer,
l strove to cheer you up with my
singing, did I not? Even during
those dreary days when your
voice was only heard in means
and sobs, / knew you missed him
much, for even Ibid l not miss
the sugar he used to give me?
When we left the little flat l
wondered why we did not go
back to the dear old home again.
But even though each change,
each removal which followed,
was more gloomy and dismal than
the last, 1 was thankful that you
took me with you. Istill loved to
hear your voice, although no
longer you sang with me, and I
knew that you loved mine.
When at last we came to this
chill room, which the sunshine
never smiles upon, I sang to you,
did not, until l saw you laid on
your bed night and day, and night
and day again. Then l thought
how tired and weary you must
be, and so 1 closed my song.
when the days went by thus
l feared that, as there was no
sunshine, you might think it al
ways night, and perhaps that
was why-you kept your bed and
tossed about, and talked so
strangely in your sleep. I strove
to wake you with my songs, and
then there came strangers who
put this cloak around my cage.
"Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Sweet!
sweet mistress mine!
"You are laid upon the bed,
and around you are hyacinths,
and gardenias, and white roses,
but none of them are whittier than
those lips which have so often
cheered me into song.
And l even I, only a tiny
Bird understand that my songs
are not needed now, for never
more can you, sweet mistress,
hear them. You are dead.
How do l know? What do /
understand of death?
This a dog came prowling
around the cottage where my
mistress and l dwelt, one Sum-
mer evening. The dog seemed
kindly enough, SO none drove him
away away. But in the morning,
on the stoop, were a few white
feathers, and my mistress said
the dog had robbed the dovecote
in the night. He had killed an
innocent, harmless bird, she
said.

News comes from San Francisco that
several rich men and companies who

WOOL IS HIGH.

Jpstlce. Bateman & Co, wool mer-
chants, have recently issued a buletiA
on the condition of the wool market
which is phenomenally high at his time
We quote:
.erhe eastern wool situation is phenom-
email. yet apparently based on perfectly
natural, and at the same time heaiths
causes, which make it seem sound pu
IN wonderfully strong contrast with two
months ago, when our last circular wa
issued.
nRriaev the cause of the recent abrupt
advance in price is the result OF con-
supmtion having run ahead of p a
condition that is world wild but NOR
acute here thar in Europe.
qThis season prices received their hrsi
upward Impulse in wool-producing sec
tions. where, owing to the complete ex-
haustion of last years supply in the
east. the new wool was competed for as
never before, and at prices which, al
though fixed on the ranch, have deter
mined the selling quotations in eastern
markets. The high prices here, bu
made by the competition in woo-growins
sections, are only limited by the cost or
competing grades of imported wool.
What THAT may be is only a matter OF
conjecture. No one can f%oretell. The
present remarkable state Of affairs in the
wool situation came about in the follow
ing manner:
Competition to contract for wool on
the sleeps back forced up prices IN
growing sections until the parity of for
eign wool was exceeded. Then, buyer
immed- ately sent unusually heavy or
ders to foreign markets where, as here,
supplies were also in smaller proportion
to consumption than for many years.
The result Of his was to cause an ao-
vance abroad, until domestic wool was
again be.ow the parity of foreig9, which
in turn again directed attention to the
domestic clip, buyers for which seeming
to wish to secure it regardless of condi-
lions in central markets.
las nearly the whole domestic supply
was in places of production and on the
sleeps back, the eastern seaboard mar
ket gradually began to adjust itself 10
the high cost In the country, SO that
eastern quotations for the 1906 domestic
clip were absolutely forced by conditions
in wool-growing sections, and not made,
as heretofore. in the eastern markets.
Thus 1t is, that on June 1st, although
they are approaching, but are still below
the parity of prices in producing sections.
current eastern quotations are at the
highest point they have reached since
wool growing in the United States has
been distributed through the producing
sections as it is at present, and the cur
rency on a gold basis
THE price of domestic wool on January
l. 1905. was 80 cents, April l, 30 cents ana
June 1, "a cents"
Many of the wool growers Of this sec
ton have already contracted for their
next years clip.
