A PROGRESSIVE INDUSTRY.

Under the caption of For Greater
Wisconsin" the Wisconsin Agricul-
turalist discusses the livestock indus
try of that State as it's most valuable
agricultural asset. 1t shows that the
value of the livestock of the indi-
vidual farms had increased in amount
by ten year periods as follows: 1850,
s243; 1860, $257; 1870, 1852; 1880,
$o46; 1890, $436 1900, $567-the lat
ter sum being more than double the
earlier amount per farm. 1t adds:
'In the last fifteen years our breed
ers have been exhibiting in the best
show rings in the country and against
the best animals bred in other states
and other lands, and have come away
with honors. Our farmers can pro-
duce as good dairy cattle as the world
knows; our herds of beef cattle re-
peatedly win the best show yard lau-
rels: we should lead in the breeding
of sheep and swine; our horsemen
have demonstrated that we can pro-
duce the best draft horses. Ii we do
not measure up to our opportunities II
will be because we are not organized,
and consequently do not have that
unity of purpose that comes from or
ganization."
These words are of equal import
to our section Of the country. That
our people have lively interest in
it's livestock improvement is shown
alike by the purchases of pure bred
stock of various kinds, by the or
ganization of several branches OF the
State Livestock Associations, and by
the holding of horse and stock shows
in many towns. Organization is do
ing good work in developing our live
stock industry.

WILD HORSES.

Many of The Ranch readers have
had experience with the depredations
of wolves, wildcats and grizzlies, but
not many would think of placing
horses in the class of predatory ami
mails. Wild horses by the thousands
are overrunning the forest reserves or
Nevada. and the untamed beasts in
fiict great damage upon the grazing
privileges as we'll as upon the holdings
of settlers. No fence is strong enough
to stop them, and they sometimes
knock down COWS and calves, while
the ranchman's horses are liable to
depart with their visitors and will
soon become the widest of the lot.
At one time the Legislature of Ne
vada passed law that allowed hunt
ers to shoot wild horses and sell their

MULES.

Several carloads of work mules and
some jacks have been disposed if in
the Inland Empire this spring. An old
pioneer in speaking of mules says:
81 farmed half section of land
for twelve years. During that time
kept about an equal number of
horses and mules. In the twelve
years l lost an even dozen horses and
but one mule and killed that one.
can keep three mules on what two
horses will eat and can feed mules in
a pen like hogs while horses can not
be handled that way. A mule never
eats too much, never water founders,
will not get cut up in barbed wire
and is not so likely to have SPAWN,
ringbone and such troubles as horse.
Mules can be crowded in small pen
and they will not hurt each other.
Crowd the horses in a small space
and they will fight and worry and do
all sorts of damage"
The mule population of the world
is about as follows: South America,
7,OO0,000; United States, 100000; Eu-
rope, 1,4SS,OOO; Mexico, $4,000;
Africa, 100000, and Australia, 1000.

INDIGESTION IN CALVES.

Indigestion may occur from many
causes, as costiveness, too liberal
supply of milk; too rich milk; the fur
nishing of the milk from COW long
after calving to a very young calf;
allowing the calf to suck the first
milk of COW that has been hunted,
driven by road, shipped by rail, or
otherwise violently excited; allowing
the calf too long time between meals,
so that, impelled by hunger, it quickly
overloads and clogs the stomach;
feeding from pail milk that has been
held over in unwashed (unscalded)
buckets, so that it is fermented and
spoiled; feeding the milk of COWS kept
on unwholesome food; keeping calves
in cold, damp, dark, filthy or bad
smelling pens. The licking of hair
from themselves or others and it's for
nation into balls in the stomach
will cause indigestion in the calf.-Dr.
David Roberts.

1t is we'll known that scours and
similar troubles are caused by a germ
which is taken into the calf's system
through the milk it drinks. 1t is also
known that if the milk is heated to
certain temperature this germ will
be destroyed and in the majority of
cases the disease prevented. 1t is for
this reason also that the fresh separa-
tor milk is best for calf feeding.

OVER
YAT DO
THE NEW CHINESE DAILY IN
WARM CONTROVERSY WITH
ATHLETIC CLUB

There is trouble between the Chi
nese Athletic Club and the Man Sang
Vat 30, the first Chinese daily paper
in Hawaii. and which issued its first
edition but a few weeks ago. What
the results of this Misunderstanding
may lead to. cannot be said at this
time, but it may even be more than a
mere boycott sa, the Chinese.
The trouble began when an article
appeared in'the local news column OF
the Man Sang Vat 30 few days ago,
stating that an entrance fee of 25 cents
will be charged at the coming field and
track meet of the Chinese Athletic
Club on Chinese Konohi Day The Of
ficers, when being informed of this ar
ticle, Immediately took action on it
and asked that the paper publish an
other article on thi, to the contrary.
However, it seems that on the day fol-
lowing, it was found that the paper,
although 1t published the request OF
the Chinese athletes, stated further
that the masquerade ball on the night
of Konohi given by the same club
would be a free affair.
This made the athletes hot and the
pot of water was boiling at its top
as one Of the athletes puts it. I'm con-
tradiction, the athletes published an
article in the Sun Chung Kwock 30
saying that the Man Sang Vat 30 was
false in several of its recent articles
in regard to the program on New
Years Day of the athletes Another
roast was handed the athletes in yes
terday's issue of the Chinese daily
which goes so far as saying that the
athletes were nothing but a bunch OF
young upstairs who styled themselves
as the Chinese A. c. This article was
moe than the athletes could bear and
a general boycott against the paper
was declared yesterday.
THE editor when seen and asked
his views of the matter, merely laugh
ed. He stated that his paper was
being backed by nearly all of the lead
ing Chinese merchants in town and
further that he cannot see as to how
much will the boycott of the athletes
injure the paper, as not more than
one-third of the members of the Ath-
letic Club could read the Chinese char
acters.'
