RANcHMEN VS.. SETTLERS.
There is a movement on o o to t,

There is a movement on foot to take
out OF the area Of u~nappropriated public
domain open for settlers. OO.OoO,0 acres
and put 1t into the forest reserve and then
lease 1t for fencing and grazing to the
big cattle ranches, says the Chicago

larger than Ohio. Indiana. Illinois, Penn

In view OF the fact that homestead land
Is now almost all taken up, 1t seems de-
cidedly hoggish for the ranchmen to I'M
dertake to corral this great empire for
ranching-an empire equivalent to 1885,
wv homesteads of a quarter section each
or to say the least, Of nearly a milltore
homesteads on the basis of the half sec

ranchman is to be permitted to lease 10
600 acres, SO that 10000 ranchmen are to.
crowd out from 100000 to 1876, COO farm
ers. In fact, the big ranchers can get
their friends or employees to AXE out 10
UO-acre leases and assign them To them
selves so that one ranch may cover sew
eral townships under one control. It is
proposed that only such land as is not
suitable for agriculture shall be leased;
theoretically a homestead might be taken
up inside of the fences surrounding a TO-
OO-acre leasehold. but what farmer would
ever dare take his family into such an
enclosure. Any one who knows the atti-
tude and custom or ranchers toward set
tiers knows that the settlers life would be.
oecldedly unbearable II not unsafe under
such surroundings. In short. the propo-
sition. ostensibly in the interest Of our
forestry, Is an immense grab of the ranch
ers ana IN view of the exhaustion of avail
able farm lands, it should be vigorously
opposed in behalf of settlers.

PROVIDE SHADE FoR STOCK.

Hogs, like other stock, must be made
comfortable if they are to make economi-
cal gains and keep healthy, says Forest
Henry in the Northwestern Agriculturist.
There is no stock on the farm that suffer
as much for want of shade, on account
OF their fatty make up. They cannot sweat
and throw off surplus heat as the horse.
This is why they rush into a mud hole or
pool of water when they get heated. 1
remember many years ago we We're going
to market with several loads of hogs. One
load included a big stag. Just as the
driver was crossing the railroad track the
team made a quick start and Mr.. Stag,
concluded to jump out over the rack. His
fall did not seem to interfere with his
gait for he trotted along as though MOTH
ing had happened for about SO rods, de-
spite our attempts to head him back.
Finally he became quite heated and as
there was a mud hole in his path he made
for it and we were unable to get him out.
notwithstanding whips and cudgels were
freely brought to bear. He simply was go
ing to cool off and take his time about it
no matter how much of a hurry we were
in. Finally, of his own accord, he came
out. stretched himself looking as cool as
q cucumber and trudged merrily back to
the stock yards. He had simply come to
q point where he was overheated and his
hog instinct told him to go in there and lie
down and cool off.
Trees are the best shade for hogs but
lIicS u Iol always ne udu, especially IN
a prairie country. Almost anything will
answer for shade. A few rough boards, or
even some straw or hay laid on poles and
held up by some crotches at the corners
serves a good purpose. A tree has the
advantage over a closed shed in that 1t
lets under it's spreading branches a free
circulation of air.
Hogs are apt to inquire young trees If
left to root around them. For this reason
it is a good plan to set a row just over
the pasture fence on the south side, where
they are out of harms way and still will
serve the purpose about as well. Some
quick growing varieties can be set, like
the Carolina poplar. Some hardy apple
trees or crab trees are preferable as a
permanent shade. as they not only furnish
shade but will in time yield fruit. White
willows also make a quick and most ex-
cellent shade when set just outside of the
fence. While the trees are growing do
not neglect to furnish some kind of pro
lection. however cheap 1t may be, for the
hogs, nothing will lower their vitality
quicker and make them fit subjects to
take hog cholera later, than being COM
PEELED to endure the hot sun of summer
without protection.

Independent Democrats.
The democratic party under its present
leadership in previous campaigns has
manifested a Willingness to embrace any
doctrine which would win votes, With
little sense of responsibility for it's prac-
teal operation. In its striving for success
it has ignored the business prosperity of
economic and governmental principles and
has reversed its own traditional views of
constitutional construction. Patriotic
members of the party nave refused 10 be

principles at issue between the two par

it was impossible to deal with the sub

the republican party with reference to

enormous material expansion of this coun-

hope whatever of a restoration of pros

School Apportionment.

St. Paul-The public schools Of the
state will soon receive their shares of
$712,667.20, the amount of the March
state school apportionment. This is
at the rate of $40 pupil, the larg-
est apportionment ever made in
March. In making up the enrolment
list only those pupils who attended
school for at least forty days during
the last school year are considered.
The apportionment is made on the
basis of an enrolment of 375,088
pupils, the total in March, 1907, being
378,251, the smaller number this year
being responsible for the higher rate
per pupil Last March $605,057.73 was
distributed at the rate of SLIGO. The
rate in March, 1906, was $1.70, which
was the highest ever made until this
year for the March apportionment.
The October apportionments run con-
siderably higher, that Of October, 1907,
having been $3.50.
