EXPECTS HIGHER PRICES.

The general live stock agent Of ono of the important roads centering in Chicago recently expressed the opin- ion that, while stockers and fat cattle have, been lower than for a number Of years past conditions were such that prices as high as or even higher than those prevailing before the recent slump in prices were likely to prevail in the course of the next six months. He based this opinion on the compar- .atively small number of feeding cattle in the territory tributary to the run- road system which he represents. and he is in a position to know when he states that similar conditions prevail in all sections of the country where cattle are raised. His advice to feed CTS is to hold cattle in spite of the pre- vailing high price of corn, 1t being his view that prices will be realized when the cattle are marketed which will give a good return on the money paid for high priced feed. From the stand point of the large or small feeder this question of future prices is one that should be looked into thoroughly. In any event, 1t seldom pays to be stam- peded with the crowd with whom the natural tendency always is to dump stock on to a glutted market regard less of price or consequences.

BOOZE IN THE BARN.

A western family--it is not 'neces- sary for the point we would make to mention their place of residence-Got into a mixup not long since in which the whole tribe, parents and children, came well nigh being exterminated. Five sons living at home-the old man owns q thousand acres In the neigh borhood-primed up to the hilt with booze imbibed on New Years day. were out milking the cows the follow ing morning. One boy pushed the COW he was milking over against another next to him and knocked him off hls perch. Starting with milk stools, the conflict spread until all were involved, and pitchforks, shovels and jackknives were brought into play. The parents, attempting to quell the disturbance, were nearly killed. Finally the neigh bors phoned in riot call to the nearby town, whose peace officers soon ap- peared on the scene and stopped the row. Two of the boys were slashed and cut so that they all but bled to death, while the father, a man of over eighty years, had his hip broken. 1t is matter of record that the children

A sTEADIER MARKET NEEDED.

If there is any one thing that the
 thousands of stock raisers of the coun- try are nightly in need of and have a right to demand from a rational, eco homie order, 1t Is greater stability of prices for the animals which they are compelled to ship a distance to some central market. A talk with a feeder the other day in which this subject was preached, coupled with informa- ton previously obtained on the sub ject, leads to the conviction that the live stock business as 1t Is conducted today Is little more, from the stand point of the shipper, than a full fiedged game of speculation, in which he him. stick and before he gets through usu- ally gets hit with the other in the hands of the commission man to whom he sells. The feeder referred to stated that 1t was almost impossible to. tell from market conditions existing at the time one started his shipment what price he could expect when his cattle or hogs reached their destination, The receipt or nonreceipt of q few thou sand head on that particular day meant a profit or loss on the shipment, 1t being virtually impossible and un- safe to hold for two or three days with view to getting a higher price. Notwithstanding the low price paid by the packer on any particular day, his customers are compelled to pay for dressed meats price based on high est live stock prices. Our friend stat ed that he had found that by going to market in the neighborhood once in two weeks he had been able to get pretty fair prices. The demand for meat products would seem to be sutii- ciently steady so that there ought to be little occasion, outside of desire on the part of commission men to manip- ulate market with view to more quickly filling their own pockets, for this cratic and decidedly unsatisfac
 tory condition of the live stock market.

cORNCOB SYRUP.

In view of the very limited quantity of pure maple sirup, which is a great deal scarcer product than before the federal pure food law went into effect, there may be some readers of these notes who will be interested in learn ing how to make an imitation that is far superior to any factory product we have ever tasted. Boil a dozen clean red corncobs in gallon of water for about an hour and a half, then strain the liquid carefully and add 50 cents worth of coffee A sugar. Place this over a slow fire and boil until the sugar Is thoroughly dissolved, when the sirup may be further boiled or water may be added to bring 1t to the right con- sistency. In eating this sirup on the toothsome buckwheat one knows that, while 1t may have never been near a sugar bush, 1t is at least made of pure sugar and colored with an en- tirely wholesome ingredient. More than this, 1t can be made for less than ole-half what one would have to pay for a shoddy imitation maple sirup.

THE WHY OF SPRINGS.

A pair of wagon springs capable of supporting a load of thirty hundred weight or more should constitute portion Of the equipment of every we'll ordered farm. When used there is not only more comfort for the chap riding on the seat, but less of jar and jolt and easier hauling for the horses, On smooth and level roads the latter point would not hold good, but on any oth- ers-and most country roads belong to this class-it does hold true. Where there are no springs, if the wheels strike an obstacle, not only they. but the whole load which they support. have to be lifted by the pull of tle team in passing over 1t. With springs the wheels rise when m obstacle ts struck, as In the other case, but the load, because of the springs, dips to- ward the holsters, tending to soften the impact and reducing the exertioa required on the part of the team Tn pulling the wagon over It.

If he has his eyes open, the only way In which he can answer the latter query is in the negative. True, a pedi- greed sire that is good for anything at all cannot be got for song, yet if he is what he ought to be he will impress his good qualities upon almost every one of his progeny. If the beef type is desired the calves of such a sire are larger of limb and better proportioned and when ready for market will fetch the top rather than the average price. If one has a dairy the value of such a thoroughbred sire in increasing the average milk or butter records of the individuals of the herd Is seldom right ly estimated. It is next to impossible to conceive of situation which would justify the buying or keeping of a scrub sire. The rule holds just as truly with horses, hogs and sheep as it dods with cattle.

WANTS A LOW PRICED EIGHTY.


 An energetic young man, a native of Illinois, but for the past two or three years Il resident of California, writes us that he has succeeded in saving a sum of money which he wishes to in- vest in low priced land, an eighty pref erably, which will be suitable for grain and stock raising. So many of the best tracts of land have been taken up in the past two or three years that we are at a loss to know what advice to give him, for so much depends upon other considerations than the mere price at which such land can be ob- tained. His preference Is South Da- kota, where there is little doubt that the desired land can be obtained. All kinds of cheap land can be secured in the central and western parts of the state, but there Is great risk from drought in dry seasons if it is located west of the ninety-ninth meridian, which is commonly accepted as the az ricultural, dead line. It would be far safer and better to pay higher price for land east of this line than less for that lying west. Before buying land anywhere, were we In our correspond ent's place, we should take trip not only into South Dakota, but also look over Indian Teryitory, Kansas, Nebras- ka and Oklahoma, where alfalfa is at home and one of the best possible aids in all kinds of stock raising. All the considerations that go to make life In locality enjoyable or burdensome should be taken into account. Having looked over the physical condition os the sev- eral localities thoroughly and taken these other matters into account as fully as possible, our friend will be able to make an intelligent and satisfactory purchase, in which he will be more than repaid for the time and expense he has been put to in making the se lection. t.:a..- -u...

VALUE OF PRESENCE OF MIND.

There are many times in ones life where nothing proves of so great value as mere presence of mind, as often the preservation of ones life depends upon the exercise of it. During the past two months we have read of several drown ing accidents which might have been averted had those precipitated into the water had the forethought to carefully break thin ice near to them until they could get hold of that which would support their weight. Of even more frequent occurrence are deaths due to burning, where life might often be saved if instead of rushing out of doors, as seems to be the natural in- stinct of all who find their clothes afire, one would make for the water pail or grasp the nearest coat or blanket and wrap it tightly around the body, mak- ing the fewest motions and going the shortest possible distance. Rushing outinto the open simply creates a draft that fans the blaze and intensifies 1t many fold. True, it is far easier to give than to follow advice like the above, but in any event the points men, toned are worth remembering.

PRACTICAL EDUCATION NEEDED.

Of the many subjects given com prehensive treatment in President Roosevelts message to congress per haps none was more timely than those recommending the establishment of practical industrial schools for boys in our larger cities and the establishing of schools of agriculture in the rural communities of the country. His crit, cism that the present educational sys, tenn tends to make the training of the boy largely a matter of literary de velopment along lines that are more or less impractical can hardly be gain said. A broad system of education should not only have in view the mak- ing of good citizens, but the giving or that training which will enable the young man to make his way in the world-in plainer language perhaps, earn his bread and butter.
