SLIGO PER DAY

isn't salary whereby any man would become an independently rich man. No. siree, $1.60 per day for s25 working days is only $40 per month. and very cheap rent-say $12 out of the months pay will leave $28. and to live one month (30 days) sometimes S1 days, on that balance will allow you 93 1-3c per day. We wonder where the price of a cheap suit of clothes comes from, not counting doctors bills, dressmaker's bills, millinery bills or an automobile ride to get little fresh air, or even 10 cents for two mile ride on the trolley. Yes, or where could they get cents for glass of buttermilk, the nice, fresh kind like we sell. We'll, one-half of the world doesn't know how the other half lives, but there is one sure thing, WE do all WE can to keep prices down. WE'VE kept the price of tub butter down to 32 cents per pound this winter, and the quality of the tea and coffee WE sell cannot be purchased in the city at the price we sell it. Then, again, see those premiums WE give with one pound of our warranted good Baking Powder at 45 cts per pound. Any one of them will cost you more than we ask for the Baking Powder.

THE FUTURE STOCK BUSINESS

In the future the business of
the ranchmen of Wyoming will not be
confined to either cattle or sheep, out
will be diversified. Cattle, sheep,
horses and hogs will all contribute to
the prohts OF the individual stock.
man. To carry ones Eggs all in one
basket is not only dangerous, but Diet.
rimental to h peace and good order
OF a state like Wyoming. Those who
run cattle exclusively acquire a feel
ing of envy, If not positive hatred,
for those who engage in the sheep
business, and the same IAN be said of
those who stick exclusively TO other
branches of the stock business. With
all united this feeling will entirely
pass away harmony and brotherly
love will come to the st~ockmen-that
Is after they have gotten rid Of the
bone OF contention known as the free
range. The things hat don't belong
to us always bring us more trouble
than the things we possess, particu-
larly IL We are contending for the use
Of them.
Among cattlemen the idea has be-
come almost universal that their stock
will not feed on a sheep range. 1t is
pure prejudice, provided the sheep
range has not been fed so close that
the cattle cannot get anything to eat.
Where the range Is fed properly. cat
tie, horses and sheep will run together
with good results. This has been the
experience of those who have given the
plan n fair trial. 1t has been the ex.
perience Of the farmers of Ohio and
other eastern states for q century.
There is nothing about a sheep that
drives other stock from the range, and
there is very good reason for running
all kinds of stock on the same ranch.
1t that when cattle are low Il
return may be had from sheep or
horses, and vice versa.
The future ranch of Wyoming will
also raise enough forage to fatten
the live stock. This will add immense.
ly to the profits of the business. Ranch.
men are not doing themselves justice
in shipping their animals unfinished
This is more particularly true of those
sections of our state within easy reach
of market, Ranchmen living on our
eastern borders can reach Denver OF
Omaha without much s%hrinkage and
thus gain the highest prices. To ship
stock lea means not only a lower
price per pound, but Il great deal less
weight. Wyoming's plateaus such as
the Laramie plains will produce a vast
quantity Of the right kind OF forage
to finish stock In the finest kind Of
shape. Even our native hay does very
well. But this will be supplemented
by alfalfa, barley, spells. field peas
sugar beet pulp, etc. and the stock
business will be immensely more profit
able than at present and will remain
so till the lands of Wyoming go to the
high values now existing in the intense
ly cultivated states.
If all our stock men could be induced
to engage in all kinds Of stock bust.
ness. the deadline would be entirely
obliterated.

ABOUT PINCHOT.

If Clifford Pinchot, the chief forester
Of the department Of agriculture, has
no horns, hoofs or caudal a~ppendage
then he is being maligned by a very
large number of good men of the range
region of America. All sorts Of tales
are told of Mr.. Pinchot. He is charg-
ed with being so strictly next to the
White House that what he says abso
lutely goes. He is also given credit
for being able to tell one person one
thing and another person another
thing, having a different solution of
the range problem for every stockman
he meets. Some call him Baron Pin
chot." Others allege that he is saving
u timber for future generations and
still others say he is selling it on to
the highest bidder in a shameless way
in order to make a cash record for his
department.
The best way to Judge a man is
from his published u%tterances. Clifford

and a man ambitious to make for him.

to him by the rough handling he is re.
