OUR FT.OCKs DECREASING.

The worlds stock of sheep has de-
creased fifty million head alone since
the war began. We are informed by
the agricultural department that
there has been decrease of twelve
million head in the United States
during the. past seventeen years,
Everywhere sheep are diminishing in
numbers at the present time; and yet
there never was so great a demand
for wool and mutton, nor were prices
ever so good for the producer
The reasons for this situation are
not far to seek. The sheep has been
possible heretofore because it lived
largely on cheap land and cheap feed
and because it needed comparatively
little human attention. Under condi-
tons in New Mexico, for example, one
man and team can take care of two
or three thousand head of sheep eX-
cept in Landing and shearing times.
No cheaper domestic stock will thrive
with so little care on the part of the
owner.
The decrease of the worlds flocks
is due largely to war, but in the
United States that decrease is due
chiefly to the breaking up of the
large western ranges by the influx of
homesteaders.
As a rule the man who has taken
homestead on grazing lands has not
made good farming and the sheep and
cattle men have been deprived of the
grass necessary for their herds.
1t is now believed that sheep can
be profitably raised on high priced
land and that the small herd is the
solution of the present shortage. SO
far this plan has not worked out well,
but it is possible that it may do so
now.
But the quickest way to solve the
problem in New Mexico is to secure
all of the grazing lands now held by
the federal government for the state.
Let the state lease or sell them-pre-
ferably sell them-to men who will
raise sheep and cattle on them.
The fund arising from the sale OF
the lands should be permanent for
the benefit of education in New Mex
leo. It is now costing the taxpayers
of this state about two million dollars
annually for the maintenance of the
public schools and institutions of
higher learning. A fund could be
created from sale of the remaining
public lands that would take care Of
this entire amount through the inter
est
The relief from the school taxes
would enable the taxpayers to build
and maintain good roads in New Mex
leo and still have their tax burden re-
duced

Howl reatW Were Ended.
By Albert Payson Terhune

browning blow was struck at Koenig-
gratz on July 3, 1886, when Austria
was overwhelmingly defeated and
was forced to sue for peace.
Prussia made her usual bitterly
hard terms. The Treaty of Prague
set forthS these terms, which Austria
had no power to resist. The treaty's
opening clauses hypocritically de-
clared There shall he peace and
friendship between his majesty, the
emperor of Austria. and his majesty

the present kaiser) land between
their heirs and successors, as well as
between their respective states and
subjects, henceforth and forever"
Here are few more clauses, copied
from the treaty. which show how un-
profitable the peace and friendship
were likely to be TO Austria.
His majesty, the emperor of Aus
tria, transfers to his majesty, the king
of Prussia, all the rights which he ac-
quired over the duchies of Holstein
and Schelswig.
His majesty, the emperor of Aus
tria undertakes to pay to his majesty,
the king of Prussia, the sum of 4O,-
100000 Prussian thalers, to cover
part of the expenses which Prussia
has been put to by the war.
His majesty, the emperor of Aus
tria, gives his consent to the union Of
the LombardVenetia kingdom with
the kingdom of Italy
His majesty. the king of Prussia,
reserves to himself the right of ar
ranging the contributions of the
kingdom of Saxony to the expenses of
the war, and the future position of the
kingdom Of Saxony in the North Ger
man confederation"

helpless foe the Schelswig Holstein

THE AusTRo-pRUssIAN WAR.

THE AUSTRO-PRUSSIA WAR.
1t has been war that well typified
the nature of both the nations engag-
ed in it. Two thieves had committed
a burglary; and the stronger of the
two then grabbed his fellow thief's
share of the plumber. That, in brief,
was the cause and effect of the Aus
tro-Prussian war. Here is the story:
Denmark owned three Elbe duchies
-SChlesWig, Holstein and Lauden-
burg. These duchics adjoined Prus-
STA, Bismarck decided they would
not only adorn Prussia's somewhat
irregular map, but that they would
give that country n long coveted out
let to the sea. SO he set about to
steal them.
He framed up a set of diplomatic
claims which denied Denmark's right
to the duchies. And he sought to
divide the blame of the theft by in
ducing Austria to join with Prussia
in Selling them.
Austria and Prussia attacked Den
mark. The Danes fought CALAMITY,
but were no match in numbers for
their bullying foes They were oblig-
ed to yield. And Austria and Prussia
proceeded to share the Schleswig-
ItDlSIC1n QucnleS between Lneln as lhe
spoils of war.
This was highway robbery, pure
and simple says one historian, "and
for the time Bismarck was the best
hated man in Europe. But by drag
ging Austria into the affair he sue
ceede1 in sharing the blame. This
being assured he prepared to rob
Austria of the profits of the war"
Then, as now, you see, Austria was
Prussias dupe. Prussia formed an
alliance with Italy (promising that
country the restoration of her Vene-
tian provinces which Austria had
seized) and secretly prepared for
war on her unsuspecting fellow rob-
Der. -...--... ... ..,,.. ..... -......
In June, 1865, the Prussians fell
upon the Austrians in Holstein and
drove them out. Austria was unpre-
pared for war but allied herself with
Saxony and sought 70 defend the
threatened duchies.

known as 1.-The Seven Weeks War

THE PLAN NOT WISE.

Secretary Baker is out with a state
ment that the American army will
not be demoblized except as the men
in it can be reabsorbed into the in
dustrial work of the country.
wouldn't it be far better to pro-
vide employment in construction OF
railroads and highways and other
needed improvements than to keep
the men in the environments doing
nothing for two or three years?
AS soon as their presence can be
dispensed with in Europe, the Amer
lean people are going to demand the
rehabilitation of the American army
and the return of the men to their
homes and families.

safe place for humanity, an inspira-

whose people drowisly turn over for

ring for coffee at IL, is doomed to de-
structien. OF such laziness is unpre-
paredness born-the vanguard of the
enemy already bowling at the postern;
treason rampant in the citadel; vail
ing in the court. Breakfast, sensible
meal at a seasonable hour; sausage or
beefsteak, if you are capable of such
atrocities; or only juicy orange If
your appetite be dainty; but break
fast, cheerful breakfast with family
or friends, no matter how great the
days pressure. This, partaken of
in a mood of kindness and tolerance
towards all the world, is a definite
accomplishment. BY so much we are
victors, and whether the CULTS wash
us down or we sight the happy isles,
we have set sail with flags flying and
