Farm Notes
THE PASSING OF
THE CATTLE KING
South Dakota Cattle Barons Forced
Out of the Game by Small
Farmers.

a special from Sioux Calls says that
agriculturists who have settled in large
numbers in South Dakota, will, IL their
plans go as intended, force the picturesque
cattle king and his rowing cowboys out
OF existence, to be relegated to the domain
OF memory.
The farmers Will demand of the legis-
latuie that II pass a law restraining cattle
from running at large that shall apply
with equal force in ali parts of the state,
this law applying now My to the terri
tory east of the Missouri river. An effort
was made two years ago looking to this
end, but the old ranchmen on the reser-
walton. who have held sway in that oun-
try for 80 years or more, were able to
overcome the opposition and defeated all
attempts to pass a herd law.
In the last two years, however, hun
dreds of farmers have moved into the
range country. and two great railroad
systems have built their lines to the Black
Hills country, and the people living there
are determined to have their farms free
from the attack of rovin cattle and
horses, since they are raising crops.

RATION FOR CALVES.

A Kansas subscriber writes Wallace's
Farmers;
II am feeding for market a bunch Of
81 calves which will weigh around 400
pounds on the following ration: Two and
one-half pounds shelled corn, one-haIr
pound bran and one-half pound oil meal
per head twice a day, morning and night;
one pound of cottonseed meal per head at
noon; prairie hay for ~roughness. Am I
feeding too much protein food for the
amount of corn they get2 They seem to
be doing quite we'll, and apparently max
ing a good growth, the milk fat having
never been lost. l have been very careful
in getting them onto this ration, and the
last few days a few of them seem to be
troubled with looseness of the bowels.
something l cannot account for unless 1t Is
the difference in quality of the prairie
hay they are getting. Will very early cut
prairie hay cause l~ooseness of the bowels?
Would you recommend a different propor-
ton of the kinds of feed I am giving? I
am also feeding a bunch of heifers which
VIII weigh about 800 pounds per head the
Following ration per head three times a

half pounds of cottonseed meal each feed.
making a total of Is pounds Of corn and 4a
to 8 pounds cottonseed meal per day;,
prairie hay for roughNess. Am I feeding

as possible? Corn is worth 60 cents, cot

ing either of the last two named feeds to
the heifers. Kindly give me your optn-
on the questions asked, and any other in
formation you think would be of help to
me in the feeding business"
The ration our correspondent Is feeding
Is rather strong in protein; we hin he
could very safely increase the amount of
corn In proportion to the amount Of cot

If he will at the same time gradually re-
duce the amount Of oil meal until # 10

stop the tendency to looseness In the bow
els. The cottonseed meal tends rather ia
tighten up the bowels when fed with
prairie hay; the bran and oil meal tend TO
loosen them. If our correspondent will In
crease the corn to three pounds at a. feed.
cut out the oil meal and continue the bran
and cottonseed meal, we are inclined fo
think, as stated, that he will have a Soma

Will keep the bowels in better condition. If
at any time there seems to be a tendency
toward constipation 1t can be overcome hv
adding a small amount OF oil meal in the
place of cottonseen meal. The ration which

that we can suggest any change that will

In Breezy Kansas

From the New York Evening Telegram.
Probably h windiest place in
North America is the short stretch
from the f street car line to the en-
france to the senate wing of the capitol
at Washington. On a good blustery
winters day it is possible at almost
any time to see two or three people
chasing their hats across the street.
The old timers nave learned that It
aoesn.t pay to chase your own hat.
Somebody else will be sure to run after
Y and bring 1t to you. That's one of
the established facts in human expert
ence. The other day Representative
Victor Murdoch, OF Kansas, rebuked a
friend for starting to chase his own
hat.
Never do it," he said. Somebody

a Quarter Century of Appendicitis.

From the New York World.
The dinner which his appendicitis pa
tients are to give to q Philadelphia sur
geon Is not essentially novel; appendicitis
CLUBS exist in various cities. What makes
the event remarkable is that there are
expected to be present fully 100 guests
whom the surgeon In question has person
ally relieved of this Intestinal encum-
brance. That this Is the record Of a sin
gle physician bears witness to the extra
ordinary vogue of one of the most popular
medical fads OF the century.
The first typical operation for appendi-
c1t1s appears to have been performed I'm
New York In 1886. In the following year
at Philadelphia occurred the first recorded
removal of the appendix as a precaution-
airy measure. Appendicitis surgery Is thus
Tess than a quarter OF a century old and
distinctly American In it's origin and de-
vefopment. The professional standing of
the surgeons whose names We're associ-
ated with the early operations, among
them DE- w. 7. Bull and DR.. Charles Nc
Burney. and the prominence Of the first
patients. gave q wide impetus to the sur
gical treatment of the disease. How many
tens of thousands q appendices were sac
Elnced TO science during the decade from
1850 to 1890 Is q subject for. curious specu-
iation. Tn first flush Of appendicitis sur
gerry has hong since passed. The knife
is now less often resorted to, having given
way to medical and hygienic treatment
ene regrettabEe feature Of the scare in
the survival of q popular fear OF grapes,
raisins. ngs and other seed fruits as q
predfsposing cause of Inflammation of the
appendix. The fooishness Of this Wow In
shown by the fact that of 1000 cases
treated at Johns Hopkins hospital only
Tour revealed the presence of foreign
bodies. Far more conducive to appendi-
cltls than food substances are violent ex-
ertlon, bruises, exposure to cold and d.
gestiye disturbances due to the cloggins
of the intestine.

The drug-caffeIne-in coffee and tea
