Farm Implements for Russia.
According to Daily Consular .and
Trade reports, quoting from a Russian
newspaper, the Russian government
has passed a bill providing for the
purchase of a million rubles' worth ol
agricultural machinery and iniple
men's. Imports of agricultural ma
chinery into Ruteia have of late in
creased. particularly in mowers, reap
ers, plows, cultivators, seeders, har
vesters and binders.
This is another American oppor
tunity. Duty rates on American farm
machinery into Russia were largely
decreased about a year ago—shortly
after the Treaty of Portsmouth
signed.

BREAK CANAL RECORD
Northern Pacific Engineers Move More
Material During October Than
Government Workers on
lathmus.
Much has been said recently as to what
is being dune by the government on the
Isthmus of 1'anania ill the construction of
the canal, anil in an article which appear
ed a short time ago in the Literary Digest
under the caption, "Outdoing Fxpectations
at Panama," the writer referred, with a
good deal of proper pride, to the fact that
1,868,729 cubic yards ol material had been
moved during the month of October. This
was, without doubt, a credit to American
engineering ability and methods, and while
the writer of the article looked upon it as
representing a stupendous'task and an un
usual amount of excavation, it is not so if
one stops to measure the' feat by similar
feats performed on some American rail
ways in these days of grade revision and
general reccnstruction.
The reader need not go far from home
to learn that during exactly the same period
the Northern Pacific railway moved
928 cubic yards of material almost double
that moved by thejl'anama canal engineers
-in new work now ^tinder^wavjfoiijltliat
great system.
While this work was noing on the usual
heavy freight and passenger traflic was
moved without any serious inconvenience
from this cause. The figures afford an ex
tremely interesting comparison and show
at a single glance the tremendous volume
of work being done by the Northern l'acilic
in improving its facilities to meet the new
conditions.
This work is not" confined to any one
state. Inn includes the entire Northern
l-'acific country in the states of Wisconsin,
Minnesota. North Dakota. Montana. Idaho,
Washington and Oregon--from the Great
I.akes 10 1'uget Sound and the l'acilic
ocean- and includes double tracking, re
construction of single track to conform to
new and easier grades and curvatures, re
placing old bridges with new and more
substantial ones of steel and concrete, en
larging yards, new terminal facilities, etc.
Another item of interest is the fact that
the Northern l-'acific railway is carrying
over portions of its single track main line
as heavy a freight tonnage as is handled
by many of the railways east of Chicago
over their double track lines.
THE "OLD TIWER'S" LAMENT
By The Terry Tribune Poet
Been a trying to study it out 'bout what
I'd better do
Stay right here in Ol' Montanor just pull
up and say skidoo.
Had things fixed about to suit me 'fore this
homestead crowd came in
Raisin' dogies was a pleasure 'fore they
narrowed uo the range—
But this row about the tences and this
plowing up for grain
Makes a fellow think its needful to be
hunting up a change.
Thought at first it wouldn't hist long and
they'd soofl be getting out.
But some of these here fellows seem to
know what they're about.
There's some chaps up on the bench lands
with some rattling crops this year,
They keep fencing up their quarters and
a plowing more and more
Spite of all a man can tell 'em 'bout how
dry it isouthere—
And I'll swear 1 don't see through it and
it makes'a fellow sore.
And the price of land is rising—getting
scandalously high.
That school section that I'm renting and
thought some day I'd buy
Why they want fifteen an acre—more than
doubled in a year.
Say its worth it for potatoes and jwheat
and oats and rye.
And that dry land farming businesses rais
ing thunder here,
Kight here in Ol' Montana where we
thougrrt it was too dry.
And so I've been a studym' out 'lwut what
I'd better do—
I like it here in Ol' Montan and hate to
say skidoo.
The climate here is bully, we've^got the
water and the grass.
And all of us was doin' well 'fore1 these
things come to pass.
But there's no place now for dogies when
they're cuttihg up the range
And it behooves a fellow to be thinking
of a change.
Last spring Old Bill McKenna bought a
plow and harrow, too,
Said he thought he'd try it once, just to
see what he could do—
And they say he had forty broke and put
it into grain
And he got a smashing crop with a
mighty little rain
And so he's sold his bronchos and is goin
to farm it, too.
Just the same as these homesteaders are
all starting in to do.
Wife says she thinks it wouldn't hurt if I'd
give the thing a round,
But I've been kicking 'bout it so I hate
to knuckle down.
And yet if Bill can raise a crop I'm pretty
sure I can,
1-or my place is all creek bottom and his
is all upland.
So sometimes I think I'll buy a plow and
give the thing a try,
But you see I've always told tlieni as how
it was too dry.
And it keeps a fellow guessing, but I sure
don't want to leave,
I like my^tmnch of dogies and it makes
a fellow grieve
To be starting in on something new and
breaking up his plan
'Stead of riding to the round-ups, just
be breaking up the land,
And I'll swear 1 can't see through it and it
makes a fellow sore,
•But I guess we're coming to it—no free
range any more.

BIG CATTLE
NOT THE BEST
By Dr. A. S. Alexander
Recently the writer was shown the
photograph of a. mammoth steer be
side whic-ti ihe owner, a man over six
feet high, was standing. The steer
was mueli taller thaii the man, and it
was thought that the officials of the
International Live Slock exposition
would buy the beast as a demonstra
tion' of the differences in type pos
sible in beef cattle. Apparently the
steer wit-s of Holsu'in blood and his
big bones and coarseness were much
in evidence. Talking about the steer
to the officials alluded to. we were
told that there is no demand for such
cattle at the yards. They are "freaks"
or "sports." and never were a type or
variety known outside of the side
show. They do not serve to teach
anything to the producer, unless it be
as a demonstration of the sort not to
breed, but this is unnecessary, as the
mammoth steer can not he reproduced
at will and is merely a curiosity of lit
tle value as a marketable product, al
though we presume that the animal in
question would weigh enough to bring
some^$200 for beef. -More than ever
before, sniall. choice, young prime fat
steers are
mi
ted and paid for at the
yards. The choicest meat for the
leading hotels and restaurants in Chi
cago is cut from the carcasses of
steers under 24 months old. The car
casses weigh in the neighborhood of
700 pounds dressed, and the fat Is not
in excess, but so tender and mellow
that it practically'melts in the mouth
and supplies all the basting material
necessary in roasting. Such cattle are
ot good breeding, being from bulls of
the recognized beef breeds and out of
high grade cows of the same breed, al
though a cross in blood makes an ex
cellent feeding beast for the "baby
beef" business. There is no difficulty
in selling such cattle at the top price
of the market, but they are scarce.
Most feeders believe in adding extra
weight, and may do it at a profit pro
vided their cattle are of prime blood
and quality, but the best profit is said
to come from the young, quickly fed,
choice steer run one summer on grass
and finished off quickly on corn and
other fowls before Christmas.
Well-Formed Canadian Lincoln Lamb.
S&t
The .accompanying illustration rep
resents a prize Lincoln lamb owned
by John T. Gibson, of Ontario. Mr.
Gibson is one of the foremost breed
ers of Lincolns in America, and one of
the most ardent advocates of this, the
largest and heaviest of all the breeds.
It Is also the heaviest fleece producer
probably of all the long and coarser
wooled breeds in America. The lamb
possesses in sufficient degree the size
and parallelogramic shapes of the
breed, along with wool characteristics
to make him a good representative an
imal of what a Lincoln ought to be.
The wool hangs in wavy spirals which
add to the beauty of the sheep, in a
thrifty specimen, the wool is lustrous.
An exchange hits the nail on the head
in the following paragraph: The newspaper
is the merchant's best friend, the sharpest
tool in his trade and the very best method
of defense from the crafty attacks of the
mail order house. The editor looking for
ads is not a grafter, but a dealer with
legitimate trade to offer, and his work is
more valuable to the city than most any
other.
