farmers will very generally agree. That number of bushels of corn is too many to sell or trade for a farm wagon, at any point in this country, it would seem. Well, the Culbertson farmer wrote a letter to the John Deere company, of Moline, Illinois, explaining his position, and asking for some light on tho subject. He needed a now wagon, ho said, but couldn't afford to buv it. What to do? How the Freights Figured.

In the course of an exhausti ply the Deere company said:

present price F. O. B. Moline on a farm wagon is 100 per cent higher than our price of 1914. At this price we are selling this wagon at approximately 20 per cent loss than our cost. The cost to you at Culbertson, Neb., however, does not bear the same relation to the pre-war price, for the reason that in 1914 the freight on a farm wagon from Moline to Culbertson was $1.37 a hundred: the present

rate, including the war tax. is $2.32

he recites the fates that hav-e overtaken many mail bandits. "They all get killed or sent to prison in the long run," he remarks," and usually it isn't such a very long run, either." Even Less Attractive Robbing the mails, the veteran post office inspector says, probably will be !e-s attractive than ever since the-government has stationed marine guards on trains carrying valuable mails, and

Our I provided escorts of "devil dogs" for

mail trucks and guards for rooms where mail is handled. The instruction given the marines are very explicit. It Is a guard's duty to know who is authorized to handle mail, and to allowno one else to handle it. It is his duty to know who is permitted in the room or car where mail is handled and to permit no one else there. It is his duty, in case anyone attempts to rob the mails, to take that person, dead or alive, or be able to show a satisfactory reason why. And the reason needs to be a good one. "Under Secretary Denby's orders," says Mr. Johnston, "about the only reason that is considered valid is that the bandit has killed the marine first."

as millions ot cattle were driven in the early clays. Half a dozen cowboys, with a pack outfit to carry their supplies and beds, drifted the cattle slowly across mountain and plain, letting them graze there every evening, "riding herd" upon them every night to guard against theft and stampede, carrying out every detail of the technique that was evolved when the whole West was one vast open range without a rail upon it. It was a restoration of an ancient and picturesque scene, but it was not staged for any sentimental reason. These cattle were driven to market overland for the good practical reason that they were in that way brought to their destination for about one-fourth

The usual furrows was plowed, the potatoes dropped in but not covered by the soil, instead of which straw to a depth of 10 or 12 inches was applied to tho plot. "In' such conditions the potatoes needed no cultivating whatever, and thus the rows mieht have been planted much closer together," said Mr. Ganr, "but this was not thought of until after the planting was done, or I might have grown a much larger crop on the same number of square fcf t."

In the early part of the last century thre were no cattle in all of the West north of the Rio Grande. Down in old Mexico, on the other hand, there were enormous herds of scrubby longhorn stock which had been introduced hv the Spaniards many generations before. Meantime a hungry Yankee civilization was growing up in the eastern half of the continent. Cattle were raised on the eastern farms, but not nearly enough of them to feed this growing nation. Enterprising Yan

kees down in the southwest began tOj see that there was a future in thei raising of cattle in the West for sale

in the East. Accordingly they began stealing the herds of the Mexicans, bringing them across the Rio Grande and founding herds of their own in Texas. They not only found it easy to steal cattle, but they also found

that when these cattle were brought?

North they grew larger and fatter than ever they had on the hot southern ranges. It. was easy to get the cattle and easy to raise them, but reaching the 'market was another matter. Attempts

were made to drive them across to: Ixiuisiana and sell them, and also to! ship thorn from gulf ports to eastern I markets, but all of these attempts fail-j ed. When the Civil war broke out j the plains of Texas were swarming;

with cattle tor which there was no niarket. Their owners had unlimited

beef, but very little money. You could buy a cow for a dollar. During tho war these herds were forgotten and multiplied .untended. After the war the plains swarmed with unbranded cattle worth little or nothing. Men of foresigfit hired cowboys and began rounding up and branding this wild stock. It was exciting business, for the cattle wore as wild as deer. A cow or calf belonged to the man who could put bis brand on it first. Incidentally, the way was prepared

for the long war between the rustlers and the cattle barons which presently began. Soon the men who had begun early had great herds under their own brands, w hile, the newcomers had j none. They wanted to continue the j business of branding stock whenever! it was found unbranded. Owners of i cattle chose now to regard this as I theft. Hence a war which continued!

for a quarter of a century. Push Northward. Meantime the herd" pushed steai

ily farther and farther north. The,

s Ihe Rio

Grande and the plains of Texas was steadily extended north along the east-i ern edge of the Rocky Mountains. And! as the herds moved north, the markets! for cattle increased and with them the' value of cattle. The great transcon-j tinental railroads were now building! and had founded western terminial at. j Dodge City, Wichita, Newton and other; towns in Kansas. j These became shipping points for cattle, and incidentally they became'.
