MAKING BABY BEEF.
Western StoCkmen Taking Interest in
Feeding Young Stock.

The stock show recently held in
Denver was of the greatest benefit to
the rangers, says the correspondent of
Field and Farm. Extensive expert
ments were made in connection with
lesson to every cattleman who attend
ed it, One of the most important
things was the experiment in the pro-
duction of baby beef.
This is something comparatively
new in the west, but it is of marked
interest to the stockgrowers. The
yearling calves from 6 to 8 months of
age are taken off the milk and put
on the corn and alfalfa. This makes
beef while they are growing. and by
the time they are yearlings past they
are ready for the market.
Baby beef is undoubtedly the best
put on the market. and means a saw
ing of thousands of dollars to range
people, and at the same time gives the
consumers a better product. The
sheepmen long ago saw the advantage
of this and for years past have been
putting lambs on the market in the
same manner.
The livestock men in the west are
! handling their stock as they did years
ago. It has been their system to range
! cattle until they are years of age,
and then market them, but think the
| experiments in the production of baby
/ beef will be adopted by a number of
| the leading livestock companies in the
| intermountain region. For instance,
| it was also shown that calves taken
off milk and put on proper food grew
rapidly in flesh. When the calves
were and Q months old they weigh
ed 500 pounds and sold for $40.
\ calf up to the time it is a year
and a half old can be fattened at a
cost of $3.50 per cwt., while a 2-year-
old steer can be fattened at a cost OF
$3.50 per cwt. 1t is figured that II
costs S11 a cwt. to fatten a 3-year-old
steer and s17 to fatten 4-year-old
! steer. These figures show conclusive.
ly that it would be to the advantage
of any stockman to put his calves or
the market when they are yearlings
and it has been proved by experiments
that it is the best beef
There is no reason why the stock
men of Colorado. Wyoming Utah
Idaho and the other surrounding
states could not produce this Kind o
beef for market.

SLIGHT STOCK LOSSES.
Montana Did Not Suffer From Recent
Cold Spell.

The Billings Gazette prints the fol-
lowing review of the recent cold spell
in the state of Montana:
The recent cold spell of weather
gave rise to the fear that there may
have been considerable loss among the
stock in the high land ranges OF the
county and vicinity. So far the re-
ports have all been favorable and it
is believed that the stockmen of this
section of the country escaped practi-
cally unscathed.
Tom Hogan, superintendent of the
Montana Cattle company's ranches,
also cattle interests, both in the east
ern part of Sweetgrass county and in
the Big Dry country north of Miles
City, was in the city this week. visiting
his family. Mr.. Hogan stated that his
company has sustained no loss of any
consequence at eitl.er place. He said
that all of the stockmen around him
were able to report as favorably. Bert
Shorey's sheep range is near that Of
the Montana Cattle company, north
of Merrill. and Mr.. Shorey informe
Mr.. Hogan that the storm was not at

Tuesday a cattle foreman employed
by Walter Clifton, whose cattle are in
the Missouri river country below the
month of Musselshell, where storms
are usually the most severe, arrived
in the city. Mr.. Clifton was afraid he
would have a tale of immense loss to
| relate to him, but was agreeably sur
prised to hear that the storm had not
{ visited that section at all, and that
/ the first snow he struck on his journey
. to town was at the Musselshell cross
ing. Coming as these reports do
from so wide a range of country, il
can be stated that the losses in eastern
Montana have been of no conse-
quence.

Aside from growing enormous
quantities of apples and strawberries,
Hood River is also becoming one of
the leading cherry districts of tie
world. California cherry orchards are
deteriorating and Oregon is now the
leading cherry producing section of
the Pacific coast.
The Hood River Glacier, in review
ing this new fruit industry in the Hood
River district, says:
While apples and strawberries have
been considered the greatest money
making crops that could be raised in
the fruit line in Oregon there is a
possibility that cherries may in the
very near future be in the front rank
as money getters.
one of the most prolific cherry
growing sections in this country has
been California, and fruit of fine quail
ity and plenty of 1t has heretofore
been raised there. In fact 1t has sup
piled the western and some of the
eastern markets with this fine fruit
for number of years and has receiv-
ed very profitable returns from them.
Reports are now to the effect that
the cherry orchard of California are
fast disappearing and that they will
not be able this year. to come any
where near supplying the demand.
Buyers have been securing the Cali
fornia cherry growing districts and
making contracts for fruit and have
invaded Portland also with a view to
obtaining as large a supply as pos
sibie there fro mthe commission men.
This week California parties were
in Portland trying to make a deal
with Davenport Bros, the we'll know.
commission men there, for no less
than 60 tons of cherries at almost their
own price. This firm could not prom
Use to supply any such quantity and
say that they will be very fortunate
if they are able to supply 80 tons.
The cherry trees in California are
said to have been deteriorating for a
number of years and the climate there
| is not, it is stated, conducive to the
| long life of the trees. While author
! tiles here on the profits of growing
cherries differ, it is very evident there
must be good money in them when
buyers can afford to purchase them
| from the commission men in Portland
| and reship them to other points.
1t is said that over 100 acres OF
| cherry trees have been set out in Th'
Dalles in the past year or two and
that growers there expect to make
them a very profitable Investment
There is no question about disposinl
of the product of cherries or of get
ting good prices for them. The mair
difficulty experienced by Hood Rive
growers has been in keeping the trees
from dying. 1t would seem that there
ought to be some method of counter
acting the effects of the diseases tina
kill these trees if the matter was gon.
into as thoroughly and scientificall!
as ha the growing of apples.

collection consists of about 200 pic
lures in reproduction of the worlds
greatest masterpieces of architecture,
sculpture and painting. The pictur IS
are alike interesting to all ages and
classes of people, and enthusiastic ex-
pressions of appreciation are heard
on all sides
Beginning with the Pike street side
of the annex to the hall the pictures
are arranged chronologically and
grouped geographically, following the
east. north and west walls, and fin
ishing with comparatively modern
English and American art on the en-

The collection has distinctly edu-

ranged to show the development of
art from the pyramids and temples
of Egypt through the fine old classic
architecture and sculpture, Italian
painting. Dutch, French. Spanish
English and American.
Most of the pictures are reproduced
in carbon process, but there are few
engravings and a group of color work
representing the drawings of modern
German artists made originally on
stone. There are also two intensely
brilliant Venetian pictures, one of st.
Marks cathedral, and the other n
scene along the picturesque canal.
The pictures are most interesting and
are the finest collection of their kind
ever shown in this town.
Genuine artistic merit is the quality
for which they have been chosen and
the selection has been made by some

PRESIDENT PROGRAMS
 THE NED OF CHINA
An Appeal to the Nation to Come to
 the Relief of the Famine Sufferers.

Washington, D. C., Dec. 2S.-The president today issued a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to contribute funds to the reies of millions of famine sufferers of China who are on the verge of starva- ton. The president says he will ask congress for authority to use govern ment transports tO carry the food to the stricken regions.
 The proclamation partly follows: There is an appalling famine in China throughout the districts of forty thousand square miles support ing a population of fifteen millions whose crops were destroyed by the floods Thousands of dwellings were destroyed. The inmates are without homes and millions are on the verge of starvation. Our people often under similar conditions of distress in other countries have responded generously Amid the abounding prosperity of this holiday season and goodwill assuredly We could do our part to relieve the distress. I recommend that contribu- tions and other appropriate relief be sent to the National Red Cross"

DEATH OF COL. TONNE
 ONCE LIVED HERE
How He Negotiated in Vain in His Will for a Decent Burial.

The following clipping is from the ''Times" of December IS, published in Greenwater. Inyo county. Cal. and was forwarded with a request that il be published The person making the re- quest states that the deceased was formerly a resident of this valley and it is presumed also that Charley Wing was also Al least a man by that name did live here at one time:
 Richard Towne is dead. The poor old man was nearly S2 years of age, and he wanted to die. but little did he ever believe he would be buried by charity; but he was.
 "The colonel, as he was familiarly called by every one, made a will, and in it he beQueathed all of his worldly possessions to an old-time acquain- tance. Charley Wing. but the will con tained a pIoviso, that he was to be given a decent and respectable burial, and so he was. but the generous pub lie footed the bill.
 "A coffin was manufactured from lumber here Snd covered. box too. had been made for the coffin and it was paid for from a donation made up among the people amounting to over so. Before he died, the old gentleman called one of the children of MT. Wing to his bedside and he gave her his two rings. one of which. it is said. pos sessed considerable value.
 He was buried in the only grave yard. and the first to be laid away in it. It was selected by pr. Ford near Ramsey. It is far away out amid the desert fastnesses, nestling between hills, and for the place, no better se lection could have been made for a cemetery.
 Tt is claimed that the colonel had some valuable mining claims and Charley Wing agreed on some kind of an arrangement that if the property could be made to realize that he would reimburse the Greenwater miners union and the money could be applied in like manner should ever a case arise again. Tn the meantime, MT. Wing re- mains as the beneficiary of the de- ceased.
 "G. J. Collins, our local undertaken. wanted to accept of the beneficiary of the coloners will. and he would give him such a burial as the will demand ed. but MT. Wing and Mir Collins could not agree, because Mir. Wing wanted to tax a board bill of S24 and other amounts so the matter remained with MT Wing, and poor Bob" Towne was laid away beneath the sod Of a new burying ground at the expense of the people and by public contribution"

The blow which knocked out CorbesA was revelation to the prize fighters. From the earliest days of the ring the knockout blow was aimed for the jaw, the temple or the jugular vein.

IDENTITY OF SHAKESPEARE.

English lovers of Shakespeare, which means all speakers of English who are intelligent enough to read at all deeply, have had to wait for a German student, Dr. Karl Bleibtren. to discover that the author of the plays and poems was Roger, the Earl of Rutland. son-in-law to Sir Philip Sidney. This in spite of the revelations of Ignatius Donnelly, the learned populist of Minnesota, author of the fascinating story of the lost city of Atlantis. Until the full ment shall be investigated we shall have to adore Shakespeare himself, the very William of Stratford- d-on-Avon. as the writer. It would be interesting and in a way instructive to know more about the inheritance and life of the immortal and incompatible genius who crammed the Shakespeare works with a knowledge of the human intel ligence such as no other ever pos sessed; but after all the essential thing is that We have the works. It is an encouragement, as an evidence of the impartiality of heaven, to believe the Avon lad grew to such matchless and imperishable greatness. Every thing in the way of mere prejudice favors the persistence of faith in the opinion that Shakespeare was in fact Shakespeare.
