RUST[|NG
NEVADA
CATTLE
State is Sifted for the
Market

Last season the cattlemen hustled
over this state and it wa- believed
cleaned out the surplus cattle They
were shipped to the four quarters
and by spring cattle were a pretty
shy article i'll every section of the
state. At Ely bcei famine was
threatened. while in western Nevada
all the beef came in by express or
freight from the storage houses. A
queer situation in beef section
Word comes from every section in
the state that the cattle hustlers are
again on the job: Every farm is
visited. Where there is a spare head
it is bought When carload is
rounded up it is shipped. In the
Ely section twelve hundred head
have been bought from the ranchers
and have been shipped out Many a
carload went out OF here and prac-
ticHlly every head OF cattle that is
marketable. ha- been secured by
the men who follow this game.
The result of this continual drain
age is that beef will be higher than
in history. The cutting up OF the
range into small farms is responsible
in large measure. The time was
not very far back when large ranges
were maintained throughout the en-
tire state. In many instances the
original owners have died or retired
The estates were subdivided Small
farms occupy the lands and where
thousands OF head of beef ranged ten
years ago small amount is now
available for the market
The great east depends on the
west for its supply OF daily meats,
and in many instances the beef that
is sent out of here in carloads comes
back in quarters with all the trim
mines and local profits taken off in
the large slaughter house Ii seems
that within few years that the
local slaughter house will be an un-
/ known quantity and be a myth The
! beet question is but one that agitates
the minds of the citizen.

the beautiful shores of Devils Lake
have been saved for the admiration of
all future generations, thanks to those
who have labored long and earnestly
in the cause OF the state park. Not so

Calamity Mrs. Longstreet tried to
save Tallulah falls in Georgia but the
Georgia power company Is proceeding
with its work. This company is part
of a $54, 100000 hydro-electric merger
and expects to spend 100000 in
developing the falls. Something like
$4,000 horsepower will be created by
the enterprise. Both Georgia and the
United Stats had an opportunity to
purchase Tallulah on reasonable terms
for public park but commercialism
was greater than public sentiment and
beauty has fallen a prey to utility.

LongStreet in her Georgia effort bu

A QUEER FARM HOUSE
The Owner Can Either Re-
side in Baraboo or the
Town of Greenfield.

The sale of the J. E. Promo farm
just east of the fair grounds to his
brother of Sank Prairie recalls that the
house on the farm near Baraboo is
peculiarly situated. One half of the
mouse is in the town OF Greenfield and
the other half in Baraboo. When a
new owner takes possession Of this
farm for his residence be must declare
which is his home in order that he
may vote and pay his persona taxes.
If he lives in Greenfield he must vote
and pay there, if in the city, he enjoys
the privileges OF the Second walders.
OF course the taxes on the land must
be paid in both Greenfield and Bara-
boo. The farm was formerly owned
by A. IL. Varnell.

think Miss Gattiker's explanation is
the right one. There was an unusual
amount of fruit last summer. 1t is a
great deal easier for robin to see the
abundance of berries and 10 be satisfied
with them than to foresee the kind of
weather that is to come the following
January. AT least three dead robins
were found in Milwaukee at the close
of the cold snap.
Robins have been reported to me by
experienced observers from over a
score of different cities in Wisconsin
Dec, JAM, and Feb. in the last three
years.
The robin is the best known bird in
Wisconsin and 1 do not think that the
people would be likely to mistake 1t
for the pine grosbealz. Certainly no
bird student would, as the birds are SC
different in everything but size. In
the case OF the robin I have no doubt
that it is ''yet" rather than "again."
