THE PROFIT IN sEEvEs.
Proper Handling and Feeding Gives
Good Returns.


A. A. Arnold, in a talk to Wisconsin
farmers, said: Twenty years ago the

highest price in the market and cap

1900 TO 1,400 pounds. is the kind that
commands first prices, while the 300
to 1000 pound yearling is a close sec

nice, tender, juicy meats, not the hard,
tallowy kind, the result of long feed

Now, If we can get a steer on the
market when he Is from 10 to 16
months old and will bring $3.50 per
hundred when the 1.4OO to 1,50O pound
steer from "a to Sc months old brings
six cents, the margin in price is so
small that the profit on the yearling
may be greater than on the two-year-

raises his calves must get them on

MRS HENRY LEE

Owing to modern methods of living
not one woman in a thousand APP
proaches this perfectly natural change
without experiencing a train of very
annoying and sometimes painful
symptoms.
This is the most critical period of
her whole existence and every woma
who neglects the care of her health
at this time invites disease and pain.
When her system is in a deranged
condition or she is predisposed to
apoplexy or congestion of any organ,
the tendency is at this p r d
likely to become active and with a
host of nervous i%rritations make life a
burden. At this time also cancers
and tumors are more liable to form
and begin their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as sense
of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches,
backaches, me~lancholia, dread of i'm
pending evil, palpitation of the heart,
irregularities, constipation and dizzi-
ness are promptly needed by intel.
ligent women who are approaching
the period of life when this grea I
change may be expected.

FARMING ON THE PLAINS.

Successful farming on the unirrigat,
ed plains of this state, where the eli
mate is arid or at least semi-arid, de
ponds upon the employment of means
and methods to offset the natural dis,
advantages. Seed selection and prop.
er tillage are the keys to success.
This truth cannot be too firmly i'm
pressed upon people seeking homes in
that part of the state, and nothing but
evil can come from instrumentation.
The man who, coming from beyond
the Missouri river, concludes that the
people of Colorado have been stupid
in thinking the climate of the plains
region semi-arid, will find in course
OF time that the Inhabitants of a coun-
try are much more likely to under,
stand its natural conditions thar

has not changed. Concerning this let
there be no doubt or question what.
ever.
The unchanged climate is a factor
in the problem Of agriculture on the
plains which cannot be ignored. Soon.
er or later it will assert itself whether
men like 1t or not. 1t has to be rlck
oned with, and every farmer should
be made to understand and appreciate
this from the beginning. If his farm,
ing does not differ from that which is
approved in humid regions he will
certainly fail, n no amount of rain
which may fall this year or which may
have fallen last year will change this
truth. Success may for II year or two
crown the efforts of those who ignore
climatic conditions, but sooner or later
1t will be shown that only they car
prosper who employ the Campbell pro

Although Kansas has lost its case
against Colorado, wherein the waters
of the Arkansas we're at issue, the de
cision of The court does not appear to
have reached the vital question as to
whether riparian ownership or prior
appropriation governs. Nor does it ap-
pear that the question as to whether a
state has exclusive control of a stream
within its borders has been finally dis
posed of. Perhaps when the full text of
the opinion has been received, it will
be found that these questions have
been settled, but from the meager re
ports wired from Washington, it does
not appear that they have been passed
upon. The people of this valley were
hoping that this case would finally
clear up all controversy over all state
line propositions and make the rights
of the people of Colorado and Wyo-
ming perfectly clear.
