squatty, square-sided COW Of today Is
no walker. Neither can he venture
more than two or three miles from
water without showing signs Of de-
terioration.
The LOnghorn, by contrast. was as
nimble as an antelope. He could walk
most Of the day and run most Of the
night, and, II exigencies demanded
could do very well on cactus, sagebrush
and twigs and an imagfnery drink. He
was alert and alive, not sedentary and
dopey.
Likewise, he was a scrapper. Those
bulls Of yesteryear loved conflict and
were well equipped for 1t.
Roping wild steer was no job for
a tenderfoot. The animal, feeling the
rope, was too apt to wheel about and
make a fight Of it and those horns
Of his-often with spread In excess
Of seven feet-were sharp as sttlettos
and he knew how TO use them
Would that his tribe had not been
bred out OF existence. Cattle In his
day were cattle, cut IN natures mold
and seasoned by natures hand. They
were an integral part of the fresh and
free west, plowed under now by stan
dardization and tame living.

Farmers Can Provide
Food Supply If GiUen
Equipment and Labor

II farmers can get the machinery
and equipment and labor that they
need they will be able TO meet the
demand for sharply increased food
production during the coming year,
farm labor and employment specialists
we're told at San Francisco.
Carl P. Heisig, United States de-
partment Of agriculture representative,
informed the western regional con-
ference Of farm labor and employment
specialists that he had seen farm pre-
gram summaries for five western
states. These indicated that the pro
duction goals viii be met-if the labor
and equipment can be obtained.
Heisig said that during 1912 the
United States would have to supply
IS percent of Great Britain's food.
More food will be required at home
too, but increased production win not
be necessary in all farm commodities.
There now are large SURPRISES Of wheat.
cotton and tobacco in storage and
Heisig said it might even become nee
essary to reduce the acreage devoted
to these crops.

the most severe task with which their
hard riding chaperons had to cope
The really tough assignment came
when the animals stampeded. The
Longhorn, despite his numerous attri-
butes, was q sldttish soul, and more
than little stupid. Scared into mad
ness over some trifling incident, he
would run, wild-eyed and brainless,
for miles ON end.
These runs, more often than not,
took place at night, after the herd
had been bedded down. A leaf, waited
on the breeze, might nestle in front Of
steers nose and brighten him into
frenzy. With a snort he would climb
onto his legs. Adjacent animals would
follow suit. Soon the entire herd would
be up and running.
Night herders, q moment before
riding quietly around the herd, sing
ing In soothing fashion "The Texas
Lullaby" or snatches Of 1.-THE Old
Chisholm Trail" were Immediately
galvanized into action, as were their
comrades in camp. Off they rode, hell
bent after the herd, and death was
at their elbow In the shape of badger
holes or precipices.
But. in proportion to the dangers
involved, few riders, authorities relate,
lost their lives in stampedes. Their
horses were slre-footed as goats. They
often stopped. dead at the very brink
of a cliff that their riders could not
discern In the blackness and they
could literally smell chuckholes that
would have sent them and their riders
dashing to death.
Rangemen dreaded stampedes not
so much because Of danger as because
of the likelihood of losing cattle, the
time entailed in getting the stamped
ers back together, and the injury to
the cattle themselves, writes Dobie.
one of the recognized methods Of
controlling a stampede was to circle
the leaders and get the herd to mill
ing. Six-shooters for controlling q
stampede never have been popular
anywhere except in fiction" says the
author of THE Longhorns" and "a
mob Of riders yelling and helling after
a stampede were generally as bad as
a six-shooter. A few men who knew
COW psychology and who felt in them
selves a power over cattle could cheek
the widest running herd by riding IN
front, quavering out The Texas Lula
by and gradually getting the cattle
to feel that the man and his horse
were the leaders, the dominator OF
the run. It took born cowman to 40
this-something entirely different from
a mere expert at bronco busting ana
roping and shooting off his mouth or
six-shooter."
Lightning was the commonest cause
of stampedes, but there were others.
The smell Of wolves did it frequently.
The cough Of COW, human sneeze,
the click Of q gate latch, stray dog
shifting around a steer-an have
started disastrous runs.
Added to His Fascination
But the Longhorn's tendency TO De
easily ratified and to thunder of In
headlong flight, added to the animals
fascination. Western history certainly
would have been less tangy had he
been suuatty, fat and lstless, with no
ability to run even If he had the tn
clinatiOn. NO adventure could possibly
have resulted In trailing herd north
had the Longhorns, instead, have been
Herefords. Such q task, IN fact, could
never have been undertaken. The

Campaigning with Gen Nelson A.
Miles was the experience Of many a
resident Of early Montana. Interesting
indeed were some Of the stories told
by the old-timers Of the days when
they served in the army with Miles.
E. M. locke, IN 1902, told how he pre-
vented a massacre that might have
ended similar to the one in which
Custer and his command died. The
message he bore to General Miles and
the latter's prompt response prevented
a second catastrophy like that of the
battle Of the Little Big Horn. His mar

300 feet, with a spudder, and the test
will be continued with a standard rig.

Conrad Butte test in North Dakota.
There was a transposition of heads

The spudder used to drill the De-
Steffany producer on Midway was
moved to Conrad Butte to validate a
large block of leases taken by E.
Byers Emrick for Tarrant, the leases
calling for the start of a well before
Sept Is. A braken shaft delayed the
well at 100 feet but drilling resumed
Thursday.
