BUSTED TIE BRONCH0S
Good Sport Sunday--one Of
Pawnee Bills Cow Boys
Gave Riding Exhibition

Sunday afternoon the COW boys Of
tho Pawnee Bill aggregation put on
an exhibition of broncho busting on
First street and First avenue southeast
which was one of the best ever
witnessed in this city. The objects
of the COW punchers meIriment were
some Of the outlaws of the Burton
Jacobson bunch Of western horses.
The COW punchers under Barrara,
tho Mexican, were lead to the corral
where tie horses are kept, just south
Of the NJ. j. Jacobson sales. stable,
and the horse being pointed out that
was to be ridden, Barrare proceeded
with cigar in mouth, to lasso it.
lasso, which in itself was worth seeing
but there was more coming for the
amusement of the public. After
making fast to the he rse to be ridden,
it was turned over to four or i've COW
boys to be saddled, which was done
in some cares with extreme difficulty.
Then Wyoming Jim Kenney was called
upe to execute the feat Of riding the
outlaw, and accomplished it in euch
q manner as TO throw great credit on
his Workmanship.
Four in all of the western horses
were ridden during the Afternoon, all
but one Of them giving the rider
plenty to tend to.
The exhibition as a whole was good,
and a generous collection was taken
up for them by local lovers of the
sport.

The new places will not be totally

It is the opinion of several who

that it gives one the impression that
the world is large, and I believe that
it develops character that is cor

time there will be a race of people in
habiting these plains that will be of a
type different from that found in any
other part Of the world It is admitted
that the people born and raised in the
seclusion of the mountains, where their
vision can penetrate no farther than
the confines of their own property, de-
velop traits that are distinct from
that of the peoples of the plains; and
SO it will be with this nation. The

DEMONSTRATION FARMS.
Prof. Shaw Fayors Them In Pre-
ference to County Experiment
Stations.
Expense OF Latter Too Great to
Incur at Present Time.
Demonstration Farms Would be
Much Better and Incom-
parably Cheaper.

In signed communication to the
Minneapolis Journal Prof. Thomas
Shaw of the State Agricultural School
emphatically opposes the contem-
plated legislation looking towards the
establishment of experimental stations
in every county. He says:
The proposition pending in the leg
islature to establish an experiment
farm in every county in the state is
SO extravagantly sweeping in its char
acter that cannot believe it will be
enacted into law. / have already said
that one experiment farm for each con-
gressional district is not necessary at
the present time. How much less,
therefore, is such farm, conducted on
purely experimental lines, necessary
for each county? The expense would
be SO justifable.
But there is class of work not
purely experimental, though closely
akin thereto, for which there is room in
each county of the state. The reference
is to demonstration work. Mr.. Hill
would seem to have this in his mind
when he delivered his great speech at
the opening of the livestock pavilion
on the state fair grounds last Sep
TENDER. A demonstration farm is sim
ply farm conducted on such lines as
will maintain or increase the fertility
of the land, and that will at the same
time produce good revenues. This
does not mean that such farm would
pay its way. That would depend on
the salary paid, the amount of work
that savered Of an experimental char
acter, the size of the farm and the
character of the demonstrations under
taken. 1t is farm that would be
managed by one individual and such
labor, not necessarily skilled, as he
might want.
A demonstration farm would differ
from an experiment farm in the amount
of work done, in the character of help
employed, in the nature of the work
and in the objects sought. AS already
intimated, it would differ greatly in
the cost that would be entailed. There
are other points of difference, but those
given are among the more important.
