General Purpose Animals.
77leFce.

Almost all intelligent breeders
recognize the fact that special fitness
for any one purpose is rarely accom-
panied by equal fitness for any 9TH
er purpose. The typical milch cow
is not the model for a beef-makinc
animal; the fast trotting or running
horse is not first-class animal for
heavy draft. With this law in mind
it is natural to give and act on the
advice-First, choose what you want
your animals for, and then breed
with exclusive reference to that one
purpose. For large class of breed
ers and stock raisers, this advice is
the best that can be given. But it
is serious mistake to give advice
without qualification. Specially
farming and speciality stock-breed-
ing are best for considerable num-
Der, but are not best for the mass of
farmers. There is good demand
for heavy draft horses. also for fast
trotting or fast running horses. The
breeder of first-class milch cows will
find ready sale for them, without
reference to their capacity for max
ing beef. The breeder of sheep, Civ
ing phenomenly large fee;es, need
trouble himself comparatively 47ttle
about their mutton character.
But while all this is true, we must
not forget The fact that the largest
demand is for general-purpose ami
mails. Is the we'll settled portions
of our country, at least.three animals
out of four-certainly of horses and
COWS are owned by men who can
not afford to give exclusive atten-
tion to any one excellence. For the
general farmer, neither the heavy
draft, the runner nor the trotting
horse is best fitted, and this is true
of the average business horse in the
towns and cities. The special dairy
men may do well TO look exclusively
to mllk-giving qualities; the "steer-
raiser" may be wise in counting a
large flow of milk an absolute fault
for his purpose. But three men out
Of four, who rear ard own cows, must
look to both milk and beef for profit.
The majority of sheep owners can
not afford to be indifferent, either to
the fleece or carcass. 1t is not
mistake, then, to claim as a recon-
nendation for breed, that it is
well fitted for second
ary purpose, or good for two distinct
ines of work.
If it be admitted that the Guern
,ey is an excellent COW for She spec
al dairyman, her larger size and
more feshy form makes her to be
preferred, by the general farmer,
over the Jerseys. In just SO far as

Firing on British Steamers.

The Liverpool Journal Of COM
merce says: Further outrages on
British vessels are reported ill advi-
ces lust to hand from The South Sea.
The latest of these is the firing on
two steamersi in a very treacherous
manner. The steamers were the
screw-steamers Pacific and Friar.
1t appeared that the latter vessel
arrived at Brisbane from the Duke
OF York Islands, and reported that
as she was at the Hermit Group of
Islands the natives from ashore at
tackled her with rifles and other fire
arms. Over fifty bullets entered the
vessels hull and masts, but no very
serious injury was done. The master
and crew of the vessel for the most
part had narrow escapes from the
shots flying about them. Two
weeks later the steamer Friar called
at the same island, and was attacked
by the natives in a similar manner
In this case the small boat of the
vessel, having In it the captain and
several others. was going towards
the shore when the natives opened
fire on it. The boat itself was liter
ally riddled with bullets, but it was
not mentioned in the dispatch that
any of the occupants were killed,
though it is believed that some were
injured. = -

How to Raise, Calves Horse Collie Remedy

Editor Journal Of Agriculture:
In the Stock Department of the
journal of a few weeks ago I noticed,
among other good things therein con
tanned, an item on rearing young
calves. If my experience is worth
anything I would suggest that the
young calf be taken from the cow as
soon as it can walk or before it is
tEenty-four hours old, for 1t will be
then easier 20 learn it to drink.
With my calves l generally proceed
ed in this way: Give them all the
new milk they want until they are
three weeks old and then for the next
three weeks I give them half new
milk and half skinned milk. Be
tween the ages of six weeks and
three months I give them skinned
milk altogether. After calf is
weancd it is a good idea to give it
one pint of oats or oat meal twice a
day. All farmers know that it pays
to feed young stock well for the first
years These are my ideas about
feeding young calves. Now as l
have seven or eight cows that are
coming in this fall, I am interested
in this question. l should like to
hear from some older head than
mine.
Speaking of collie in horses I do
positively say that collie is brought
on by giving too much cold water
at once. A sure cure for collie in
horses is ten drops Of coal-oil and
about six drops Of chloroform in one
pint of warm water. This is a Ger
tain remedy and will cure any case
in thirty minutes. / will close by
asking which is the best breed of
cattle to cross with the common cow
to get a good milk cow and a good
beef animal. Yours ETC.,

BENTON AS A ANUEACTURING
TOWN.

The interview published il these col
umns yesterday in re-erence to a pro
posed water poWerpro5ect isnot q vision
airy or improbable scheme by amy means.
It is founded upon reason and the Gay
when the scheme as set forth, with addi-
tion5 now u%nthought Of, will be put into
practical effect is not far III the future.
The important act is that by the con-
struction OF Il canal or race from the
river the distance of a mile or two a fall
or at least fifteen feet, probably more,
can besecnred, afording power sufficient
to run u great number OF mills. NO
great amount Of capital would be re-
quired to dilect the water from its chan
mel in the direction indicated and rendtr
it s%ervicaible lor the use Of man. The
proposition is nothing other than the
construction of a canal a short distance
and over level ground. That the power
would be sufficient to set several turbine
wheels running, and through them, ma
chinery almost without limit, can not be
doubted.
The high prices of fuel render steam
power for manufacturing purposes on an
extensive scale simply out of the ques-
ton. If Benton is to be a manufacturing
town, and it has every advantage as
such, good water power must be secured
and as has been seen this result can be
attained without any great difficulty.
Admit that this water power project
is all that has been claimed for it and no
| town ia the Northwest offers better adj
vantages for manu- acturing enterprises
than Benton. FIGURING Iniils, WCDEen
mills, machine shops, saw mills AND
other enter rises would grow up and
flourish. Benton is the natural distriE-
uting point of the new northwest, and
ready sale could be had for the manu-
faclured articles. The river would give
cheap transportation from the East and
the numerous railroads that are heading
for this point afford abundant distribut
ing facilities. In every respect the loca
ton is a most favorable me- and there il
no good reason why Benton should no
d%evelopinto the principal manufacturing
town OF Montana.

TUESDAYS Record had a lengthy ed

which the. editor stated two or three
times that there had been no dishonesty

before the Judges election, honesty in

A PERMANENT CAMP.

Everything now points to a perman-
ent, prosperous and extensive mining
camp in the Barker and conterminous
districts. The recent rich strike in the
WrightA Edwards has given encourage
mentto the mine owners, and as many
as are able will push ahead the develop
ment of their leads. But most OF them
lack the the necessary means to prosecute
the work, and capital must come in be-
fore the camp will show what it really
contains. This lack of capital has been
the great drawback to the camp III the
past, but now that the richness OF some
of the leads has been demonstrated be-
yond doubt, capital is beginning to take
an interest and will not be slow to avail
itself OF the chances for profitable invest
ment which this great mineral belt pre-
sents, and we fully expect to see ~ OF
il not the very best, mining camps IL
the world in this section. The Wright
& Edwards, which is at present the mos
talked of, is not excelled, 50 far as devel
opment has progressed, by any mine il
America, and would readily sell for
million in any market. The Barker
bonded for $4,000, is thought to b
equally rich, and when work is recon-
menced on it we expect to chronicle a
good a showing. The Silver Belle is an
other valuable mine, and n iron
hwich we anticipate rich returns for tn
working. Speaking of the Silver Belle
