A few weeks ago this paper had
an editorial on the excellent stock

He went out on his ranch before
the thistles we're dry. and raked them
up and stacked them. the same nj al

He has leo tons Of them stacked
up and he is feeding 1870 head of cat

While farmers in central Kansas
are fighting the thistle as a pest, thu
ranchmen in the short grass countries
are stacking the thistles away as n
valuable feed for the winter and fat

In Cove county one farmer is suing
another because he won't let him
have half the htistles In certain

like alfalfa. are valuable for feed
and that he has a right TO half OF
them under a contract he had made
for half the crop.

of March before Mr.. Slaton got his

with that disadvantage he has cut
five crops of alfalfa each averaging
a ton TO the acre. He states that
owing TO the lateness of his start he

age price of SIS per ton at Plain

FRANKLIN HERDS

F. s. FRANKLIN, in conversation
with a representative of The Daily
News yesterday. relative to the con-
dition OF cattle near thsi city. said !:
II have noted with a liberal degree
of interest, the many expressions
concerning condition of livestock in
the Panhandle, incident to prevailing
unfavorable weather. My herd num-
hers 1850 head. and every one is In
fair shape. II is simple justice to
say however. that I have fed daily
since the breaking of the storm. and
will continue to do so. This feed
has been of fodder. milo, kaffir and
millet hay.
Where cattle has been fed II is
standing the stress of adverse wealth
er well. or course in the absence
of feed in fair quantity, and where
pastures were well grazed. losses
came as natural consequence"

CHANGING THE PRESIDENTIAL TERM.

Suggestions are also afloat tc
the rsffect that both of the great
political parties are seriously
considering the advisability OF
inserting a plank in their plat
forms. for changing the length
Of the presidential terms from
four TO six years. The business
men Of the country are clamoring
for such a change, as they say
that there is no use in plunging
the country into the uncertainty
and unrest of a presidential cam
paign every four years, which
greatly depresses business for
that year and discourages new
enterprises. Either party would
be apt to win the hearty support
of the large and small business
men of the country in making
such a move.
