Show BENSON WARD , b CATTLE SUFFER ! FROM THE GOLD Benson, Feb. 20. This Is ono of i tho fiercest clays wo havo export- I eneed for a long time, and if wo do not hear of distressing conditions i t as a result, wo shall feel happily sur- prised. Tho suffering of animals without shelter and with laok of food 'i Is certainly very great and empha- J sizes very strongly tho necessity of I- building sheds for tho protection of !' animals during tho cold, bleak months I' of winter. Better havo fower anl- f! nials protected from suffering, and t, doing well than to havo largo num bers half fed and exposed to In clem-i clem-i ent weather. I How long Is It going to tako some i of us farmers and cattle men to be-; be-; como convinced of this. To sco tho j poor animals on tho Logan bottom:; on a cold morning nil humpod up and ! shivering with Insufficient nourish ment, is distressing. Let us hopo that, by another winter, provisions may bo mado to tako hotter caro of our livestock. Tho Baugh brothors are to be commended for their 'enterprise In I having several carloads of hay shipped Into tho ward; as those who were out of feed havo thus had an opportunity to purchase. Even If tho prlco Is high, It is good economy to feed one's animals. Mr. i. V. Funk has also shipped I In about ?1000 worth of hay. Mr. f Funk has been busy during tho wln- ij tor, even if tho weather has been quite severe, buying and selling cattle. On the evening of Feb. IB, it bo- lng the 84th annlvorsary of the birth ! of Mrs. Sarah O. Reese, her seven .'.. jjsons and their wives and somo of ' iK J her grand-children mot at the home . s-' of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Beeso and I spent a very cnjoyablo evening. ' Mr. John W. Beeso has purchased a Saxon "Six" and will now bo ready, when spring comes, to tako his family i for a Joy ride.
