HUMANE CATTLE SLAUGHTER
From Denver S%tockman.

A news item from New York an
nounces that Hiram Percy Maxim, the
inventor Of the noiseless firearm, gave
his first public demonstration of a
wonderful Weapon before h board OF
managers of the Society for Prevention
OF Cruelty to Animals recently.
Leveling an ordinary 32-caliber rifle,
remodeled according to his invented
device and loaded with ordinary am
munition. the inventor took aim at two
city directories placed one in front of
each other, pulled the trigger. and
drove a fiatnosed bullet six inches
through the solid paper with hardly
enough noise to be heard 25 feet away.
The explanation Of the demonstration
given to the Society for the Proven
ton OF Cruelty to Animals, the in
ventor was that his wonderful device
was pursuant to the urgent request for
the society that he furnish the organi-
cation with q more humane weapon for
use In the abattoirs n the big meat
packing plants. They wanted a gun
which could drive a bullet into the
brain OF a steer with deadly results
and with not noise enough to frighten
all the other animals lined up In the
killing driveway.
No doubt this will be much more
efficacious than the present h~aphazard
method now employed. The society is
strongly against the present manner
OF slaughtering of beef with a hammer.
Mr.. Maxim's invention will strike
home to all those who favor q sane

Deadly Water Of the Desert.

LEW
"OEe OF the chief dangers to travellers
in crossing such dreary and arid wastes
as the far famed Death Valley In Nevada
arises from Ignorance as to the character
of the infrequent pools OF water along
the route" said Il. e. Smalley, a mining
engineer OF Denver. .sThe tenderfoot,
growing faint under q blazing sun, will
want to quench his intolerabler thirst
when ne comes to a shallow hole, whose
water, clear as crystal, seems absolutely
pure. He can with difficulty be restrained
from drinking It by some experienced
companion, who knows that one draught
will probably cause serious IL not fatal
illness. This water, for all its seeming
purity and clearness, is loade with ar
senic, and many a man has lost his life
by It's use. Curiously enough, the only
water In the desert that is safe to drink
Is foul looking and inhabited by bugs
and snakes. When you come to a muddy
pool on the surface Of which insects are
~disporting themselves, however repul-
sive 1t may be both to the eye and palate,
you may drink it with impunity. despite

Niagara Falls to Electrify Ontario.
The plan to electrify the province of On
tario, Canada. with power from Niagara
Falls, fully described in the July Popular
Mechanics. is undoubtedly the most stu
pendous undertaking OF this character
ever projected. The article states:
THE first contract with the commission
was signed by Toronto, and calls for 49,
600 hp., the first supply 10 be delivered to
that city in December, 1909. Among other
cities hat signed contracts are London,
Hamilton, St. Thomas, Woodstock,
Guelph, Berlin, Stratford, Preston, Gait
and Ingersoll. Toronto will pay SIS. 10 per
horsepower per year and ST. Thomas $26. 60
per year. The prices the other cities will
pay range between these figures, accord
ing to distance from source of supply and
amount Of power contracted for. AS soon
as the lines feeding these cities are com
pleted a line will be run to Windsor. PAT
miles from the Falls.

elimination, is a gigantic one, furnishing.

THE STUPID MAN
NEEDS A CLEVER WIFE
But The Clever Man Can Get Along

o0t INC SiGVSE WAnl SdnE S0I NiOU8
Nicely With a Stupid One.
That a stupid man needs a clever
wife needs no discussion, say William
L. Stead, in the July Delineator. The
stupider a nan is, the cleverer ought
his wife to be- to make up for the stu
ptdity Of the male partner in the men
age. A clever ma can better afford to
face the struggle for existence with a
stupid wife than can a stupid man.
That is quite obvious. For, If clever
ness may be regarded as the intellec-
tual stock in trade with which the mar
ried couple start out to do business In
the world, the less capital that either
partner has, the more important 1t Is
that the other should be well provided
with the Indispensable elemen neces-
sary for success in life. There is, there
fore, some reason for recommending
that stupid men should marry lever
wome and that stupid women should
marry clever men, in order to make
things even all around. On the other
hand, the precept, b We not unequally
yoked together with unbelievers," may
be held to lay down to a general prin-
ciple capable Of being applied to the
question now under discussion. 1t is
obviously desirable that two people
who are to live together all their lives
should be sufficiently near together in
Intellectual attainment to have inter-
ests In common, and to be able to un-
derstand each other when they are left
together In the endless tete-a-tete Of
matrimony.

An American farmer, having occa-

One morning two applicants appeared,
one a decidedly decent looking fellow,

sessing appearance and manner.
The farmer, after some hesitation and
after scanning the applicants with a
keen eye, chose the latter.
A friend who was present and wit

OUTLOOK FOR STOCK FARMER

From the Sioux city Farmers 7TsfIbuI1e
Once in a great while the grain farm;
er makes larger profits than the stock
farmer, but the odds are usually
against the former. Las year was an
exception to the general rule. Grain,
prices We're unusually high and stock,
on account OF the financial furry late
in the year., low. The stocklnan, we be-
6lieve, is now facing a year that will
bring him excellent returns. and he
ing stock will be well repaid for h la
Dor and expense incurred thereby.
When cattle, hog n sheep prices de-
clined many stock raisers n farmers,
too, sold as much of their stock as pos
sible in order to keep the feed bills
down. Many sold much closer than they
would have done under normal condi-3
tions.
The season so far has been most
propitious for the growth Of all kinds.
of grasses. Pastures are at least four
weeks ahead of last year and a large
hay crop Is Ssured. Unlike last
spring, there is a full stand of clover
everywhere, practically nothing having
been killed. Small grains look healthy,
the stand is perfect and corn fields,
taking the country as a whole, have
seldom looked better at this time of
year than they do now.
All of these things indicate that the
hay barns will De filed to overlooking
this fall, and that the granaries will
be bullying with the fruit of the soil;
and because Of the liberal cashing In
of live stock that has been taking place
during the past six months or more.
there will no doubt be an unprecedent-
ed demand for the products Of the
stockman this fall. The breeder of
pure bred stock is already beginning to
feel this demand coming. During the
last few months the general average of
cattle and hog sales has been excellent
and there can be no question about adj
vances along this line in the very near
future.

SEES NOTHING BUT HIGH PRICES

From the Kansas City Drovers' Telegram.
J. H. Dugan, Of Rock Creek. Kan, is
not a pessimist, and he does not think
any Kansas farmer will go broke in the

priced corn and very high priced cat
tie for the corn fed lass. Mr.. Dugan
Is a cattle feeder. farmer and grain
dealer. THE situation" he said, lis
just a little different from any year /
can recall. While a fairly good average
corn crop was raised last year. there
seemed to be an unusually large de-
mand for it, and we very well know
how it was bought UP early n right
in the face Of a panic at high prices. At
a time when prices On all other farm
articles went down. corn prices went
up. The result is. very little corn is
left. Now, in looking the present corn
prospects over. it would seem as IL we
would not have more than two-thirds
crop at best. and we may fall below
that. Very wet weather which washed
out thousands Of acres of corn in low
lands could not be replanted in time
to make a crop. We can bank on high
priced corn and very high priced corn

canada,s Century.

~ bAtC y III ouH,
That the nineteenth century belonged to
the United States and that the twentieth
would be Canada's has been the jubilant
attitude of the Canadians for 10 years and
more. Now the grain carrying trade of
New York is suffering from the competi-
ton of Montreal, with the result that the
White Star line has withdrawn five of its
~freighters from the service at his port.
Other lines have taken similar action.
Two and one-half cents can be saved on
each bushel by shipping by way Of Mon
treal, and the grain trade will follow the
line Of least resistance.
1t remains to be seen what action can
be taken TO bring this trade back to the
United States. The steamship officials
want reductions In railway charges to
overcome the present advantages of Mon
treal. This p~resupposes the willingness Of
the shipping men to do their share. Yet
if the natural advantages are with the
Canadian port, the effort to compete with
1t by means Of artificial stimulation is
not likely to be successful in the LONG run.
Has Canada's century begun?
