The Beginning of the Livestock
Business in the United States.

Speaking of the magnitude of the
livestock interests of the United
States, the Irish Farmers Gazette
gives the following account of its
beginning:
In 1910 four cows and a bull were,
after a long and dangerous passage
by sailing vessel, landed in Virginia
from Ireland. These were the first
domestic cattle seen in America. In
1925, Is ewes and two rams were in
troduCed as novelty into New Y ork
by the Dutch West India Company
The first horses landed in any part
Of North America were carried over
to Florida by Cabeca de VEGA in
1927; they all persisted. The wild
horses found on the plains of Texas
and the Western prairie are proba-
bly, descendants of the fine Spanish
horses abandoned by DeSoto. In
1925, part of the trade of the Dutch
West India Company was the car
rying of horses from Flanders to
New York, and that year six mares
and horse were safely transported
from France to America. The Lon
don Company were.sth first expor-
ters of swine from Britain to Amer
lea; and in the year 1921 they carried
on their vessels no less than "a,
which were all, on landing, allowed
to roam at large and feed and fatten
on the mast, which was very album
dant in the woods. They increased
SO fast that in 1926 the colony was
in danger of being overrun with
them, but the Indians acquiring a
taste for fresh pork and the novelty
of hunting hogs, that calamity was
averted. So important was it con-
sidered at that time that the cattle.
horses, and sheep introduced into
the infant colony should be pre-
served and allowed to increase, that
the governor issued an order pro-
hibiting the killing of domestic ami
mails of any kind, on pain of death
to the principal and to the alder,
abettor, or accessory. In 1876 horned
cnttle, horses and sheep had in
to 10000,

The whole country is waking up
to the danger that threatens nearly
all classes from the rapid growth of
moneyed corporations. Even the
Boards of Trade are taking up the
fight against the great railway com
binations which the Changers of the
Northwest waged SO earnestly and
won so gloriously few years ago,
When that contest was going on,
the Boards of Trade had no words
of sympathy for the Changers; they
rather sided with the roads, but
when it became plain that the rail-
way companies determined to Law
ali classes under tribute, the nneT-
chants became alarmed and took
steps to organize against the roads
and are now calling on the Changers
to help them. OF course, the Gran
gers are opposed to dangerous mo.
nopolies of all kinds, and they will
always be found fighting against
them; out they have learned thai
the most oppressive power that lays
its heavy hand upon them is that OF
the merchants business system, anC
they are just now giving their atten.
ton, as means of escape, to the
establishment of the CO operative
system. The Changers look upor
the contest now being waged by
the Boards of trade with great in
terest and will be found ready tc
strike blow for themselves wher
OCCASION offers. But this contest i!

Broader Ties for Wagons.

We have often wondered WHY
people persist in the use Of marrow
wagon ties in any section Of The
country where the roads are Of clay
and mud. Common sense should
teach men that the narrower The
tire the deeper the wheel will slns
down in the mud. The prevailing
width of road wagon tires is one
and three fourths or two inches
when they should be at least double
that. If the tires were four inches
wide the wagon would not sink
one quarter as deep in soft roadS
and those terrible ruts seen in wei
weather would not exist. Broad
tires have the effect of smoothing
and improving clay roads. LIZ
surface of roads will stand cerlal
amount of pressure, but the marrow
tire of loaded wagon cuts through
it like knife; whereas broad nIS
four or FIVE inches wide would IoD

Some of the merchants of this
place, it is said, are fighting the little
cooperative store recently estab-
lished by the members of Powell
Grange in this county by undersell-
ing-olfering bargains" to the far
mers who are customera of that
store. No farmer who understands
his true interests will be caught by
any such bait. The object of such
tricks is simply to destroy the move
ment to establish co operation in
this section, and thereby keep the
poor farmers in the tolls of their old
taskmasters. What are the argu-
ments that merchants offer farmer
to induce him to desert his own
friends and his own cause? We
don't know what specious pretencos
may be set up by the merchants,
but we will say to Patrons and far
mers that the plain English of all
such offers of bargains" is this:
Under the merchants business sys-
tenn, the farmers are powerless to
protect themselves; they are forced
to sell and buy on terms dictated by
the merchants, and their terms and
prices are such that the profits oil
the farmers toll go into the pockets
of the merchants; while the co-ope-
rative system gives the farmer the
profits on his custom, and enables
him to buy and sell to the best ad
vantage. Destroy the latter system
as the merchants are trying to do
and the farmers and their families
are but "hewers of wood and draw
erS of water" for the merchants. Are
there any intelligent farmers willing
to help defeat this great opportunity
TO build up and protect their inter
ests by accepting few paltry ''bar
| gains" that are offered only for bat
purpose?

River and Rail TRANSFORMATION.

The rapid growth of the agricul-
tural interests in the West, the i'm
mense quantities of grain shipped
by rail to New York, and then to
Europe, and the growth of milling in
Minneapolis, account for much of
the dissatisfaction which exists in the
East with the railroads. The com
plants which were so long and
loud throughout Central New York
were due not to the fact that rail
rates were too high, but that they
were too low. New York farmers
and Rochester millers felt thrt they
were being unfairly treated bee ause
wheat raised on the cheap ID Ids of
the West competed in foreign mar
kets with wheat raised in New
York State. What they really de
sired was an embargo, or an inter
nal protective tariff, and all the So
callod measures of relief" pro-
posed in the New York Legislature
and approved by the New York
Chamber of Commerce had for
their aim and object the protection
of New York interests as against
the interest of the West.
This is not merely a supposition
It is clearly shown by the fact that
during the Granger agitation. when
Western farmers were seeking an
outlet for their products, when
they were striving to force a rednc.
ton of rates from the railroads
there was no sympathy whatever
expressed in New York for the
Changers, and the Chamber of Com
merce was silent. The West has
secured fair rates; its wheat is car
ried to Europe for a nominal price
and instead of burning grain # i
exported, and the West prospers
