STOCK FARMING.

o1UGA EA6M1UG.
The most perfect farming is that by
which the greatest value Of product is
raised upon the least area Of land, and
generally as rule the most perfect farm
ing is the most profitable. There may be
conditions under which it is most profta-
bic to raise large crops Of grain upon viz
gin soils Of extraordinary fertility, and sell
the product for very small sum compare
lively, and thus continue for time until
the soil is exhausted, but such cases are
exceptional There may also be conditions
under which large herds Of cattle are rails
ed and grazed upon pastures Of vast ex-
tent, but Of little value for other purposes,
and the business may for season be ex-
tremely profitable; but these cases, too,
are exceptional and Of temporary existence,
and can only occur during tho settlement
of new countries. II is not upon such
temporary conditions of expedient that the
world can depend for its supplies Of bread
and meat, for within the narrow limits Of
a mans lifetime the end of these abnor-
NAL states Of agriculture can be foreseen.
Within a score Of years past the great and
populous States we used to call Western
have passed through the conditions Of
wilderness, pasture, corn, and wheat fields,
until now mixed farming, in which the
feeding Of stock holds prominent position,
has assumed a peremptory place. The
earlier methods of agriculture no longer
pay in those States, and the production Of
high class Of beef cattle, mutton, and
dairy products has been mingled with the
productions Of crops Of grass and grain.
Thus il will be until the limit of agriculture
in its stricter sense has been reached, and
the permanent grazing fields of the Plains
only are left Even they are beginning
to be occupied by the settler on his quar-
ter section, aud this settlement at this
early period is interfering with extensive
grazing in Texas, Colorado, Western Kan
sas, and Nebraska. All these facts 20 to
point toward the immediate necessity Of
large increase Of stock farming east Of
the Plains The feeding Of the better
class Of stock east Of the Alleghanies, even

Saturday night, in a saloon, waiting for a
street car, and had seen four men at one
table playing draw poker for the drinks,
and two men at an adjoining table playing

A Weak Organ,

1t makes great deal of difference whose
bull it was that hooked the mare During
the past year the Union was filled with vio-
lence and abuse of ex-Mayor Davenport
for alleged usurpations of power, tyranny,
unlawful acts, ETC., ETC., and one would
suppose that newspaper so jealous in the
cause Of law would at least make show OF
consistency by denouncing unlawful acts,
and usurpation, and tyranny wherever
found But this is not the case. for the
unlawful order of Mayor Gait in relation
to saloon closing is not noticed in that pa
per-even as an item of news.
Whatever may be said of the policy or
the propriety of some of Mayor Daven-
ports acts, he had the law on his side.
He was never guilty of taking upon himself
the responsibility of closing up the bust
ness places of citizens. He never COM
mitted any act so clearly in violation of
law. We do not now remember of any
act of his which was not authorized by law.
except in the appointment of policemen
and his course in that respect was con-
demned by THE ARGUS. But even in that
he did precisely what ex-mayors Gregg,
Truesdale, Eggleston, Kimball, Murdoch,
both Buford's, Carter, Skinner and others
had also done. So there was the excuse
of precedent although it was illegaD for
his course.
Mayor Gait has also committed the same
error in the appointment Of Policeman
Ankrum. He should submit his
name to the council tonight. And he
should not appoint another man to that
honorable and highly responsible position
without first submitting his name to the
council in session The consent of ma
!jority of the aldermen, when not IN lega
session, does not FIJI the requirements O
the law. Each mans name should be sub
mitted in open council, and referred to til
! Committee on Police, who should CAREFUL,
inquire into the character, habits, antece
dents, ETC., of the candidate, and report t,
the council in writing, and their repor
should be fled among the public papers
There has been to much looseness in thi
respect, and the council should insist tina
the law be observed strictly in future.
