Hunter II was then eight years o'd.
and we had removed from a farm near
Independence. where we settled when

we ran II together until 1856.
"From 1850 until the time Of the war
500 wagons a day went over this trail
from May until June. Going out Of
Westport the FIRST camp on the trail
was just beyond the old WornalI home

route Of the trail may be a matter for

nard suggested.
Il did not say I objected TO a little
whisky did object 10 taking their
Mexican drink with them when l was
already suspicious Of them.
The mules were supposed TO be out
on the trail few miles In Kansas.
We set out TO find them. They were
not where the Mexicans first said they
were, but they said we would find
them few miles farther away. Then
they rode two IN front Of me and two
behind It was an uncomfortable
place for me. They knew had money

they were thieves and cutthrOats, and
soon lost interest in their mule story
figuring on how 70 leave them behind
finally got chance and started my
horse on a run TO a settlement near. I
soon distanced the Mexicans. and I
never saw the mules. I don't know Of
any one else that ever did"
IL is a curious fact that war has been
a factor in the making OF Kansas City.
It was the war between Texas and
Mexico that made the Santa Fe trail
Commerce with Mexico was carried on
by ships across the gulf Of Mexico un-
til that war. Then Texas put out some
privateers that made the trade danger
Gus, and Il was started overland by OK
teams, Goods were sent by way OF
Kansas City and Sante Fe into central
Mexico, keeping too far west and north
for the Texans TO do any damage. Aft
erward when the United States took uD
the war the trade continued TO go over
land, and to this day goods are shipped
TO Mexico through Kansas City.
Every one knows that the civil war
and the troubles that followed sent the
Texas cattle trade into Kansas City
territory instead Of east by water or
across Louisiana. and every foreign
war strengthens the Kansas City mule
market as well as the -four and meat
trade. J. s. Chick said that It was the
war between Texas and Mexico that
made the Santa Fe trail and laid the
foundation for the city that has helped
to outfit or provision every war that
has been fought since in every part Of
the globe.

ROOSEVELT IN CAMP.

President Placed Himself on an
Equal Footing with the Camp Peo-
pie OF His Colorado Hunting Party.

In the saddle, on the trail. eating
camp dinner or sleeping under a tent,
there was never a better all round fel-
low than President Roosevelt. He was
just one Of the boys. they will all tell
you, and therein lies the secret Of his
life's success, says Jake Borah, Presi-
dent Roosevelts chief guide in his re-
cent hunting trip IN Colorado. writing
IN the Denver Post.
"Call up all the boys, Borah, l want
TO talk 10 them a minute" ordered Mr.
Roosevelt about an hour after camp
was pitched and the boys did not for
get that he was president When the
boys" lined up before Mr.. Roosevelt
he began talking to them in a most
familiar manner: 'Now, boys" he said,
forget IL is the president who is with
you, but just plain Mr.. Roosevelt, out
for a good time Remember, / am no
dude. and you must treat me. as if
lived with you all my life; If you don't
l won't stay"
The president soon set everybody at
ease and did not stand apart as a
dude but joked and, ate with us,
rode and talked with US. as only
eowpuncher could. Those days will
never be forgotten by us, for we know
a tenderfoot as far as we can see him.
To me they all look like dudes, and
laugh now when 1 recall the first time
called the president "dude."
"a dude,Y echoed the president. did
you call me a dudeT
THAT Is just what I called you," I
answered as / tipped my hat.
The president insisted on knowing
what thought a dude was, and was
good and stumped for a minute. Final
ly sized a dude up this way: A dude

NOTES FROM THE INLAND FARMER

An important item in providing
shelter for hogs is to have it water
tight.
Regular hours for feeding and milk
ing 60 long way toward making a
success in dairying
There is nothing the farmer can
engage in that will bring better re-
turns than in raising chickens and
producing eggs.
Washington has these three essen
tials, good soil, good climate and
good markets, in greater degree
than any state in the Union.
Silage is one of the best and cheap
est feeds for cattle and sheep, but it
is not safe to feed it exclusively.
They need one good feed a day of hay.
In the matter of seeding to mead
ows and pastures, we never hear Of
a farmer who has made the mistake
of seeding too literally but hundreds
of farmers regret that they did not
put on little more.
Unless a boy has a deep-seated
preference for some other profession,
it does not seem wise for him to 10
more the great opportunities that
agriculture offers, whether he was
born in the country or in the city.
The quicker the mixer the richer
the milk if the work is done well and
completely. Two mixers, one rapid
and the other slow, will get about
the same quantity of milk, but the
former will get more fat. The diff
ference between a rapid and slow
mixer counts in butter or money.
II. L. Blanchard, one of the best
known and most successful dairymen
in the state of Washington, feeds his
COWS from four to eight pounds of
grain daily when on dry forage.
When he has plenty of ensilage and
roots, he finds four pounds of grain
enough per day per COW. Of the
grain ration two pounds is oil meal.

"The statement in the report
of the Secretary of Agriculture
that the farmers have produced
about $5,O00,000,000 of wealth
the last year, which means ST 900
to each, furnishes a text from
which to refute lot of Wild
eyed talk that has had more or
less vogue for years. Socialist
papers, certain magazine writers
and various self-constituted re-
formers delight in piling up
figures to show that all the
wealth is rapidly concentrating
in the hands of few. Soon a
dozen or two capitalists, sundry
trusts and railroad syndicates
will own everything in sight,
while the masses will constitute
an army Of beggars or depend
ents held in the chains of wage
slavery This is the favorite
theme Of certain political dem
agogues and leaders of crank
parties and they never cease
ringing the changes on the
dreadful fate that awaits the
once free people of America.
Closer inquiry shows, however,
that there is a great deal of
wealth in this country not own
ed by capitalists, trusts or syn
dicates and that the greatest
prosperity is still found among
those who best deserve it,"
