endurance skdll and strength now that mac hinery the snortlmc automobile and the plodding reaper is usurping the horses power the wild horse as well as his domesticated brethren is to be destroyed by the thousands it is es timated that there are about 1000- 000 of these free ponies roaming the open ranges and mountain retreats of montana oregon idaho nevada new mexico utah and arizona and that 400000 of them are in montana sheep and cattle me neverywhere are pro testing at the wild horses consump tion cf grass grass enough to feed 2000000 sheep and 800000 head ot cattle hence the wholesale slaughter of mans friend the horse the mustang has long been an integ ral part of the romance and hilstory of the old west lending much to its development and color wild horses hsvve been classed as native animals of the state of texas especially its southern portion they were there tie- fare the first white settlers since the mustang is of the same breed su the mexican horse it may be assumed that the mustangs were descendants of the horses brought to mexico by the conquistadores under the leader ship of cortex nearly 400 years ago later juan de onate and coronado took them further north they roved in bands of one to three dozen head under the leadership of a cunning stallion one or two male yearlings or twoyearolds may be in the band but no mature made can enter unless he defeats the leader by right of conquest in what is usually a tight terrible to see the astute ness and aagaclousness of these lead ers were almost human their heri tage of wariness and cautious intelli gence strengthened by stress of gen erations of evading mans traps of tentimes was more than a match for the pursuer running wild horses was fascina ting but dangerous pastime for the cowboys the mustangs were gener ally too swift and clever for the hunters one anthod of catching them was to fence a spring or water hole with camouflaged greenery leav ing the gate open after several days if the animals were not frightened they would enter the enclosure to reach the water then a trapper who had remained hidden so that his scent would not carry would shoot the bars across the opening capturing the whole bandi many times the animals through sheer fright would plunge a- round the corral sometimes killing or maiming themselves before ca toning down another common method of capture because of the bloodtingling sport was to run the band to the open range until they were exhausted a relay of riders was necessary for such purposes mustangs were in the habit or not grazing beyond certain lutalts arrange after v studying the hatntjs of a cer tain band riders would establish themselves at definite points in this huge circle then a rider would ap- proach the band directly from the front the horses taking flight would soon ontdlsranrt the cowboy for there is no mounted horse that can come within rifle shot of them the rider would then follow at a fast but not a killing pace keeping them always on the move coarfboys at different intervals would continue the chase keeping the bandr continu- eorgetoton itienf jbanb winners of first prize in class c at toronto exhibition september 3jrd

paper i am sitting at the kitchen table tonight writing this my boots are in the oven getting dried out because i have been wading throug nslxinches of water in the hayfleld it has been so wet lately that i have had more time for reading your paper and i am beginning to think a man who works for a living is a fool i see where one company that had a capi tal of 13600 was bought up and a mil lion paid for it the stock on my farm is worth 3500 but i have no chance to make a million out of them so im in the wrong business an other day i mind reading where a man put up 190000 and sold out for a million on saturday i was at the stratford market and managed to oome home with 7 in my pocket and i got the paper too and found out that some ur sweezey had jianded a million to the politicians i used to do a little stumping myself around election times but no person ever gave me a million if they ive have quit or gone on just sjs the man with the million said and last i see where senator is supposed to have made almost two million and all this money centred around some power plant that hasna yet turned a wheel walt till i get my boots out of the oven theyre starting to smoke and not be lng a millionaire i havent got an other pail sometimes us folks in the country are called hayseeds and sodbusters and i guess thats about all we are ill be hanged if i can see how a farmer can make three or four million dolham and do it before he starts to work were slow all right we never get paid for anything un til we deliver the goods perhaps i could organise my farm into a cor poration or

has little grating value in recent years many animals have been converted into marketable pro ductscanned horse flesh which to ex ported to europe and considered there as a table delicacy the hides are utii lined for basehajls and gloves ani- ntals not worth shipping are taken by government trappers to be used as bait for the coyotes and wolves there is something of tragedy in the passing of the

to agriculture black forest famed for cuckoo clocks few products of industry have found their way into so many cor ners of the world as the black forest cuckoo clocks according to the tour ist information office of the oerman national railways plain clockmak- ing is of course much older in the black forest about 1730 anton ket- terer of schoenwald is recorded as having for the first time added two tiny bellows to the works of the then wellknown black forest wooden clocks these tiny bellows produced the flutellke cry of the cuckoo while the cuckoo is a specific black foerst product the information office continues clockmaking in that region dates back almost a hundred years more into the time ot the thirty years war thejv i pieces were natuxabtrann wtreniade entirely ot wood stmaterlal so abundantly furnished 21 w forests from which the clock- wker carved out by hand the cog wheels levers hands and dials a stone served as weight and the regula tor was a small wooden horizontal beam equipped with small weights which could be moved to accelerate or retard the works an old house on the roedeck near yaldu bears a memorial tablet wifli the inscription in this house the socalled qlas- hof at waldu the kreutse brothers constructed about 1640 the first black forest clock the skill and inventive spirit of the black forest clockmakeiv soon made it possible to increase their pro duction by simplifying and mechanis ing the methods of manufacture an important step in this deireloomeirt was the invention shortly before the beginning of the eighteenth ntury at the last meeting of the county council a lengthy discussion took place in regard to the cots of living and it was the unanimous wish of the coun cil that a resolution be sent to the government agitating for legislature to regulate the spread of prices be tween the producer and consumer mr vanscrlver with easy eloquence strongly championed the cause of both producer and consumer and asked the pertinent question the government has voted 10000000 for relief work who is going to pay it is it to be taken from the top six inches of the sou he further contended that when we as a nation wake up to the way in which we have been deceived and hoodwinked by the capitalists there is going to be trouble and very serious trouble unless measures be quickly taken to alleviate the distress ing agricultural and industrial con ditions in canada today profiteer ing is the most deadly enemy to the welfare of any nation and if the gov ernment could be made to realize the imminent danger of this profiteering system he was sure immediate steps would be taken to put every kind of business on a proper working basis mr buck mr vanscrlver has given us his views tn no uncertain manner but i being a farmer myself am naturally more interested in the situ ation from the viewpoint of the far mer and let me tell you gentlemen that conditions have come to such a pass that the farmers cannot possibly go on year after year selling produce at less than production costs hogs on the market today are worth 575 and you all know the price you pay for your pork and bacon from the store in another part of the province i heard on good authority that the farmers had got together and agreed as a body to positively refuse to pay their taxes until they could obtain a better price for their produce the interest the council is taking in this matter should i think be known to the public and i certainly hope that it will be given every prominence by the press tt is a mighty serious pro position
