esting talk on how to feed and care for
cattle to fatten. First, the animals
should be of type that would fatten,
and the kind that the market required.
Mr.. Cook preferred the Durhams. To
do the best, the animals should be fed
regularly and given plenty of pure
water. They had good results from
feeding corn silage. and some cotton seed

Students Broke Them Up.

There are very few things that es- cape the notice of college students when they appear en masse. This was demonstrated at an uptown theater the other evening when stirring melo. drama was being enacted, says the Philadelphia Record. A group of ten students occupied the front row of the balcony. Just below them sat party of young women. It was when the beautiful heroine was about to be thrust out on the mercy of pitiless world that tragedy was turned into comedy. True to feminine emotional nature, the feelings of the group of women aforesaid were so wrought up that tears began to flow. There was a nasty struggle for handkerchiefs, a deep dive into pockets and bags and then a pause. Only one of the six girls had had the foresight to provide herself with handkerchief.
 With a sympathetic glance of com prehension she wiped the tears from her own eyes and then passed the bit of linen along. One by one the weep ing maidens dabbed their eyes with the handkerchief and then it was snug gled back to the owner and the game of progressive handkerchief was begun again. The students saw all this, and one of them took handkerchief from his pocket to wipe away imaginary tears and passed it along the line. Loud "sobs" drew attention to them. In laughter, and it was only after mana gerial interference that the by-play was stopped and the six maidens with the one handkerchief were spared fur ther modification.

New Mexico Host River.

That must be strange freak of na- ture in New Mexico-the river which is not river. Its bed, which lies in the valley between the Ric Grande and the Pecos, is well defined and travellers have followed its windings to learn, if possible, what becomes of the great volume of water which should be there. It is simply lost. Numerous big tributaries flow into it from the neigh boring mountains, but the instant they reach the bed of this main stream they disappear from view. Thus a river which should be some 300 miles in length has no existence which could be proved.
 Commodore Thomas W. Lee of the Lackawanna fleet and general passen- ger agent of that system of railways known as the road of anthracite" |" tells of wonderful river in Idaho which disappears in the ground and is not seen again for distance Of twen- ty-five or thirty miles.
 There is also lost creek in north. ern Idaho. MT. Lee has ranch of B.. 900 acres in southeastern Idaho, on tho Snake river, about half way between Salt Lake City and Butte, where he grows everything except few tropi- cal fruits. Here he rusticates for two months in the year in what he declares to be the finest climate on this beauti- ful earth. A man can breathe twice as much air in Idaho as he can in New York, and when his lungs are fully in. Hated he can almost float in the ether, New York Press.
