HOW CODY GOT NICKNAME OF
BUFFALO BILL"

When the Kansas Pacific railroad
was being built through Kansas in
lS67-6S it was necessary TO provide
food for an army of more than 1,JOO
track-layers. A source of supply was
near at hand-yast herds of buffalo
and men were hired TO do nothing else
but kill these animals for food. One
of the best-known of the hunters was
William Frederick Cody, young from
tierslnan who mad been pony express
rider and guide for General Custer.
The work was dangerous. for the In
dams did all they could TO stop prog
ress on the railroad. They especially
hated these hunters who killed more
buffalo In one day than they destroyed
IN a week. and Cody took his life In
his hands every time he went out. He
soon became such an expert hunter
that the railroad men gave him the
nickname OF buffalo Bill"
During Cody's career as a buffalo
hunt =, period of IS months. he
killed a total of $3.50 bison. His
great 'st exploit was his victory over
Billy Comstock, scout and rival
hunt r. The match was arranged by
Offices of Fort Wallace to decide
which OF the two men was the great
est s'ayer OF bison. They were TO
hunt ore day of eight hours. and the
man who killed the greatest number
of the animals was to be declared the
champion buffalo hunter.
A herd was found and separated
into two lunches. Cody Immediately
began riding at the head of his bunch,
shooting the leaders and crowding the
followers In toward the center of an
evcr-narrowing circle. In short time
he had killed Is. all Of whom lay dead
over II small area. Comstock had be-
gun shooting at the rear Of his herd
and, although he killed %, they were
scattered over distance of three
miles. Two more herds were found,
aud when the final count was made.
Cody had 60 and Comstock &c.
Later Cody became famous scout
and guide. lie served with General
Custer IN Kansas and General Carr 10
Colorado. Cody was known MS "Pa.
haska-Long Hair" by the Sioux, who
bad great respect for his prowess.

Beef In New England

In the old days of horse drawn milk
wagons, the supplies came from the
immediate vicinity of the cities and
Towns, and such raisers got greater
returns from their land devoted to
mix production than they could from
beef.
Today conditions have changed.
MIX comes to New York City from
| a radius of more than a thousand
miles. and with the advent of dried
mlik' The entire country is competing
with the suburban producer apd
prices are rejecting this competition.
hundreds of farms are producing milk
today at no profit that could make
money with beef. Milk production
entails feeding concentrates that can
not be produced on the farm, and
this means teams busy teaming milk

ratlons home again. Beef production
properly conducted should consume
home produced grain.-corn, oats, and
barley,-thereby not only keeping
more money on. the farm that goes to
the local grain man with the dairy
farmer, but also saving manys hours
time on the road delivering milk and
cream to the local station. The beef
cattle can be driven to market at the
station once in six months.
There is hardly farm in the East
that will not beat Iowa average in
corn production, and when the farm
ers awake to the Importance of lime
to grow clover, and clover sod to grow
corn on, they will double the Iowa
record.
With ample supplies of corn grown
on the farm, with good beef calves
produced on the same farm, New Eng
land can and should produce better
beef cheaper than the West can hope
to do.
The West has very wasteful meth
dds of beef production. The calves
are born in Texas. sold at Fort Worth
market. come to Kansas City sold
again there, perhaps wintered in Kan
