No breed of cattle is making progress
more gratifying to its advocates than
the Polled Durham. A display such as
the breeders of this hornless type Of
Shorthorn made at the recent interna-
tional show not only presents convinc-
Ing proof that they have made sub
stantial Improvement, but indicates
that they are aggressively on the trail
Of the older beef breeds. Whoever I'M
derstands beef form and quality does
not need to be told that Polled Dur
hams have acquired both Those who
studied the exhibit of these animals In
the show ring at Chicago this year can
entertain no doubt as to the usefulness.

character of Polled Durhams. Nor can
any one question the stability and per-
manence Of this type. 1t has come to
stay and grow. 1t is waxing strong.
1t fills want and serves an important
purpose. Many farmers and ranchmen
prefer natures dehorner to the saw or
clippers. For this reason the Polled Dur
ham bull, whose polled trait has been
firmly fixed, Is attracting the attention

Corn For Breeding stock.
Corn should constitute not over half
the ration for breeding stock. the
amount being smallest with young an
imals. says American Agriculturist. As

who will pose as being favorable to
it, but the action of the senate dis
poses of the matter for the session.
Pennington county has delega-
ton on the ground to oppose the
measure which was passed earlier in
the session to give Deadwood the
right to tap Elk Greek for water
supply. They claim that to take
the water will deprive settlers of its
use for many miles along the creek
and that Deadw9od can be supplied
from other sources. The Penning-
ton and Meade county people who
oppose the Deadwood project will
present bill providing that where
the water Of creek are diverted for
city purposes the surplus shall be
returned to the same watershed from
which the stream was tapped. This
provision would kill the Deadwood
project. This fight promises to be
one of the most interesting of the
session.
The capitol building bill which
passed the house by such hand
some majority calls for an appro-
priation of $l50,000, but in reality
the amount that will come out of the
treasury for this purpose will be-
100000; there being $4,000
already in the capitol building fund
which can be used for no other pur-
pose. The bill also provides that
the general fund of the state shall
be reimbursed for all expenditures
from the sale of capitol lands by the
commissioner of school and public
lands. at rate not less than $40 an
acre.
The cattle dipping bill is received
with general favor and will pass.
The only controversery is over the
size of the appropriation, whether it
shall be $1,000 or $4,000. mas
much as this is one of the most
important measures of the session it
is not probable that this compare
lively small difference will be per-
mitted to delay proceedings, for any
considerable time. Another impor-
tant matter that hinges on the ques-
ton of appropriation is farmers
institute bill, championed in the
senate by Mr.. Lightner and in the
house by Mr.. Parmley. While
there lisa disposition on the part of
the minority to kill this bill, SO that
the majority will not get the credit
for it, they scarcely feel like taking
the responsibility of making the
fight in the open.
