THOROUGHBRED CATTLE.

DIR. y. c. Stevenson. of Indiana, once
drew comparison between American
and English farmers as they were re-
lated to breeding He said that En-
gliSh farmers had nothing to hope for
with reference to bettering their condi
ton except hy making the land which
they titled yield as much as possible.
They never could hope 10 own the land.
Bending their energies. therefore, TO the
work of making the yield as bOUntiful
and excellent as possible, they naturally
enough sought TO improve the breeds
Of domestic animals, with what success
we al know. On the other hand the
American farmer sought to own farm,
or If he owned one. TO enlarge il, ard in
his cndeayor to do this he neglected live
stock and depended more upon his crops.
There is a great truth in this when ap-
piled to many of our farmers. The
strangcst thing. or at least one of the
StrangeSt, is that there are men even at
this late day who fail to appreciate the
value of cattle. They keep COWS which
do not pay for their keeping, and con-
tinue TO keep the same cows year after
year until they become so old that they
are worthless for any other purpose.
We have seen numbers of cows in our
lives, and we have seen some of our
Western farms this fall, that would not
and viii not recOmpenSe their owners
for the feed they consume during the
winter. y ct as the Western Rural said
some weeks ago. and as everyone who
reads knows, il has been possible during
the last few years to buy ShOrthOrn,
Hereford, HolStein or Jersey stocks ut
very low figures. so low, indeed. that
the farmer who was not able 10 pur-
chase, was the exception and by no
means the rule. When SO many of our
farmers have Sensibly concluded that
corn viii bring more in the market
when it is shipped in pork or beef than i'll
any other way, it must not be forgotten
that there are a good many farmers that
have not yet arrived ut that conclusion
or if they have they do not act upon it.
There Is more money in stock then in
anything else, either in the products Of
the dairy or in the meat. But it must
be good stock. We cannot fatten a
siiw-hOrse. and we cannot milk one.
We need cattle that have good frames
ana that viii lay ON fat when they get
/ ready TO lit them for the Shambies. We
want more than this we want cattle
chat viii make good beef. Beef is al
t article universally sought after, and the
most of people are fair Judges of it. AT
least the consumer can tell whether
beef IS dry or juicy. And the English
! whose markets we are anxious to sup,
! ply, and which are open to us. will have
nothing 20 do with poor beef In every
respect it viii pay to keep good cattle

Mysterious Death.
Dubuque Herald

Last evening about halr-past
nine O'clock a report was cir,
culaled on the streets that Pat
rick Hughes, u contractor,
who formerly kept a saloon on
First street, between Maine and
Locust, was dead. a Herald
reporter Wasat once sent TO the
scene and asecrIained the fol-
lowing facts with regard 10 his
taking of. He was sitting in
tho saloon talking to James
Butler who now runs the place,
until about ten o'clock. He
had received Il letter from his
nephew stating that he wanted
money TO come home with, and
he started mp stairs to write q
letter. This was the last seen
Of him until he was discovered
dead in bed at nine o'clock last,
night. Mr.. Butler, thinking it
strange that he did not come
down, sent a boy to rouse him
up, but as he did not respoud
he thought that all was not
right, and sent word to James
Doyle, brother-in-law Of
Hughes, asking him to come
up and see what was the mat
ter. Doyle sent his son Charles
who, with Butler, burst open
the door and found Hughes
dead on the bed. Coroner
was at. once summoned
and made a preliminary exam
ination Of the remains. He
searched the body and found
thereon an insurance policy, q
pocket book containing S65,
keys, handkerchief and pocket
knife. lie then gave James
Doyle permission to move the
body to his lDoyle's) house.
