1t is the competitive strife in busi-
ness which gives the world its best
things, develops Its best and brightest
men. While competition is cruel and
merciless, ever crushing out the weak
and the incompetent. cooperation,
which Is its legitimate antldote. If
generally substituted for It would soon
head the human race toward degen-
eraey, Hard and severe though the
process may be- competitive strife is
absolutely Indispensable to the best de-
veIopment OF an American civilization.

The very richness of western soils
has in a way been destructive OF all
principles OF good farming. Men have
made a living too easily. have not been
forced to consider how to treat the
soil so as to insure the retention Of
Its fertility, been ever tempted to work
too many acres, always rating their
standing as farmers by the number Of
acres worked rather than by the yield
Of crops secured or the duality of such
crops.

The tree when transplanted, no mat
ter whether it be declduous evergreen
or fruit tree, should always be set from
three to five inches deeper than it grew
in the nursery or timber from which it
was taken.

There is a small fortune awaiting the
young man who will go into the north
wheat country, get section Of land
and proper outfit for growing the
crop and stick at it for ten years. 1t
is not very attractive country in
which to live, and the business is work
four months and loaf nine months.

A good name counts for much. A
certain county in western state
which has established fine reputa-
tion for the barley which 1t produces
and which is known on the market by
the name Of the county finds that five
times as much barley is sold each year
under this brand as it ever produces.

Three million barrels of apples were
held over in cold storage the past sea-
son, the largest amount Of fruit ever
SO held. AS applied to food products
cold storage has effected most re-
markable change.

curious people and a curious condition.
Skilled labor is paid but cents per
day, while unskilled labor Is paid but

We came across a very level headed
and philosophic farmer not long ago.
He lives on farm which is subject to
overflow when the Missouri river gets
ON a tear, which 1t did last year, de-
stroying his corn crop on the bottom
land. He figured 1t this way: That
while he lost his corn the overflow had
deposited between three and four inch
es Of rich river SILT all over his land,
which was worth far more and would
last longer than any coat OF fertilizer
he could give the land. He said quite
cheerfully that while he was out
crop last year he would show the boys
a thing or two on corn next year, and
we believe he viii. 1t quite often
proves that our seeming calamltles are
sn reality bleasiaga after all.

In some few communities the farm
ers, Influenced by broad minded pub
lie spirit, have banded together and in
a cooperative way have undertaken
the Improvement of the highways ON
their respective farms Independent of
the work done by the road supervisors
with the regular tax. 1t Is needless to
say that In such cases there has been
a marked improvement in the condl-
tion Of the highways. We do not see
how man owning good farm can
render his community and his country
more patriotic service than In this
manner He is further well rewarded
In financial way, as the fine highway
adds good dollars to every acre OF land
which he owns.

Cyclonic conditions often develop
quite early In the spring in the middle
west. Two or three days Of so degree
temperature in late March or early
April will often set things going, SO
disturbing the normal temperature
that cyclone results. Hot air alone
will never produce cyclone; neither
will cold air alone, but the mixing of
the two works on the same plan as a

The government has made marked
change In the horses furnished its cav
airy since the war of the rebellion.
Then cavalry horses seldom weighed
less than 1850 to 1,2O0 pounds. Now
the broncho has largely taken the place
of the big horse, this range animal
possessing more endurance and activ-
ftu

Many an acre of the most productive
land can be redeemed by $40 worth of
tile drain. When we see man, as we
often do, busy plowing some hillside
badly worn. while ut the foot of the
hill lies an undrained bog, we always
want to stop and have talk with him
and get him to seed his hillside down
and drain his bog and cultivate that.

Fight Game In Salt Lake.
The pugiHstic game In Salt Lake and
Utah can be said to have had a fairly
PROSPEROUS year. For the first time Ia
recent years Salt Lake has got through
twelve months time without having
had a bad one or an out and out fake
handed the public. Tie reason for this
Ia the close watch kept over the game
by the mayor and chief of police. Real
iZing that the public liked the game,
these officials let it run, but kept a
watchful eye for the taking class. The
outside public will never know the
pressure brought to bear on these Off
Gals by the taking element to break
into the game, but as every mans rec
ord was investigated before permission
was given to pull off a contest. fakes
In Salt Lake became thing of the
past. In consequence the town saw
some Of its greatest fights during the
past year.
What the prospects are locally foI
the game the coming year is hard tc
tell The incoming administration Il
is not believed is against the sport
and there should be no reason why the
game should not be continued. If it is
there is no doubt but what the game

largest kill in a single day was $50. ON
another day Mr.. Davis killed 296, and
at the same time State Senator Steve
Love killed 1877, both shooting from the
same blind.
Since that time a law has been passed
limiting the kill for a single day. Each
year this limit has been brought down
until now ii is not lawful for one per-
son TO kill more than twenty-five ducks
or geese IN a single day.
Dozens of Duck Clubs.
Such a slaughter as this one would
believe would soon rid this region of
these fowl. But it is here again where
the agencies for the protection Of this
game prove their effectiveness During
the past FIVE years dozens Of duck clubs
have taken up ground along the
streams, lakes and sloughs with the re-
suit that the kill IN these places is
limited TO club members, and the birds
get protection from wholesale slaugh-
ter. The duck clubs also feed the
birds during the breeding season.
Watchmen are constantly employed
during these months 10 keep the coy
Otes away from the young, and the
ducks have begun to look upon Utah as
their home. Hundreds come from all
over the west to nest and raise their
broods, and when the season opens
while there is a scarcity of ducks in
other states, this state has an abund-
ance.
Shooting Always Good.
Again. the duck clubs yearly flood
thousand of acres OF ground. making
thousands of acres more Of feeding
grounds. This is scattered over a large
territory from south 70 north through
out the state, and Is becoming larger
each year as the duck clubs increase.
The natural result IS more birds as
each year rolls around An instance is
cited to show that ducks are still as
plentiful as they ever were Y. H
Pease. one Of Salt Lakes most prom
/ inent spOrtsmen, stated at the time this
article was written that he had been
out hunting twenty-one times this sea
son and had bagged the limit Of TWEEN
ty-fiVe birds on seventeen Of these
trips. He has hunted in Utah for years
and. with all Of the old-timers, believes
that the birds are more plentiful each
year.
Like fishing, IL IS the accessibility Of
the duck shooting grounds to Salt Lake
that makes this city a DESTROYS locality
to those who are fond Of this sport It
is a positive fact that one can shoot
q radius OF ten miles from the business
center of the city there are at least a
dozen well-organiZed and regulated
duck clubs, while within this territory
there are miles of open shooting
grounds. These duck feeding grounds
can be reached by street car, automo-
biles, horse and cart.
MilIlonaires' Duck Club.
About forty miles north of Salt Lake
is the famous shooting grounds at the
mouth of Bear river. 1t is here that

a bath in each room, and a kitchen pre-
sided over by a French chef.
Chickens. quail and other wild game
of the field are also found In abundance
I'm Utah, and likewise within the very
limits Of Salt Lake. About six years
ago a number of quail were imported
and the season closed against them
until this year. The result is that Salt
Lake valley is fairly alive with the
"whistling Bob Whites and hundreds
Of Salt Lake homes had quail on

The chicken, grouse and dove season
opens Aug. Is, and continues until Dec
l each year, while the quail season
opens Oct. 1 and remains open for ten
days. During this time 1T is a poor

Much Big Game in State.
Utah is we'll supplied with big game.
Deer. elk, mountain sheep, beaver and
otter are to be found in the mountains.
The season for this game is closed at
the present time and will remain so for
the next two years, when the law
against killing them expires.
Bear. mountain lions, coyotes and
jack rabbits can be killed at any time
of the year Each year the harder of
Utah hunters climb the mountain peaks
in search OF this game and many are
successful. Bear have been killed with
in five miles of Salt Lake on more than
one occasion I'm the past five years. and
persons visiting the mountain canyons
for an outing frequently run across
bruin in some berry patch taking on a
coat OF fat for his long winters sleep.
Great Rabbit Hunts.
Rabbits are so plentiful in the valleys
that in some localities they are null
sance. Each year rabbit hunts are or
ganiZed and thousands Of Dummies
slaughtered in a single day. Last sea-
son rival towns south of Salt Lake held
q rabbit hunting contest with twenty
men on a side. After a four hours
drive in the sagebrush over $500 rab-
bits had been killed.
It would not be an over-statement to
say that 10000 persons IN Utah take
advantage OF the opening day OF the
fishing and duck hunting season in
Utah, and that this number grows larg-
er in each succeeding year.
