Warmth and Pure Air for Stock.

Warmth and Pure Air for Stock.
The recent cold weather gives stock ex-
cellent sppetites and shows conclusively
the importance of providing for them COM
Portable winter quarters. The loss from
unnecessary exposure of stock in West
ern latitudes amounts to million of dollars
in this country every winter, and the i'm
portance of the question of shelter for
stock needs to be advocated. There is
usually much less exposure of horses than
of cattle. and the former are better enabled
to bear the inclemency Of the weather if
accustomed to it. Cattle are naturally
sensitive to cold. and while with an abund-
ance of hearty food before them
they are capable of enduring much
severe weather, yet economy requires that
due attention be given to the subject, and
suitable means for shelter and comfort pro-
vided. Many farmers allow their stock to
be unnecessarily exposed in winter from
mere carelessness and ignorance of the
laws pertaining to the health and comfort
of all animals. They need to be reminded
that the heat in all warm blooded ANIMALS
requires to be kept at nearly the same
temperature, and that when the weather
becomes cold or stormy, as in winter,
the animal heat to nearly its normal de-
gree. This may usually be accomplished
by feeding the animals heavily of strong
concentrated food. but it can be done
much cheaper by providing suitable
protection againts the cutting winds
and pelting storms. Fresh air is the vital
element of health, and on the hills of our
dairy counties the supply from November
to May is ordinarily ample for all de-
mands; it is,up to the present writing not
controlled by any combinations, or likely
to be locked up by a ring, but in many and
many stable and horses as we'll it is
as carefully economical as If there was a
risk of using it all up, with no chance Of
getting any more. A csw cannot give
wholesome milk without pure air as well
as pure water. but thousands get little of
either on farms where free winds blow,
and springs bubble, simply because no
thought is given to ventilation. and it is
easier to let the herd drink from a yard
pool than to conduct water to them.

none at all, long after their founders were
dead, and no successors in their families
were left, the remains of the Stewart concern
do not bear so much as an inscriptive re-
minder of the great merchant. Not only are
strange names painted over the doors Of the
block square warehouse, but the color Of the
structure has just been changed from white
to olive, thus apparently reducing it greatly
in size, so different Is the effect of glaring
white and a subdued color. Nor is it be-
lieved that Stewards name will be much more
permanently retained in those projects of
benevolence which he planned. His widow
s ,nfirm in person and purpose in her old
age and necessarily leaves to others the car
rying out of those projects which her hus-
band intrusted wholly to her. The Women's
hotel, which he built in Fourth avenue at the
cost Of 81 ,0O0, 900, but died before seeing il
opened as a home for working VIC omen, with
prices barely covering the cost of main
tenance-that was the intention--is now the
Park Avenue Hotel.
''What would be your price for the board

has been excluded from the house. Stewart

high-priced hotel on a strictly commercial
basis.
Attention has been drawn recently to the
second and greater Of Stewards philanthropic
projects. He bought 10000 acres over on
Long Island, whereon he founded Garden
City, in which was to be gathered an indus
trial population. He built a hundred trial
dwellings, laid out miles Of streets, put in
water mains, sewers and gas pipes. and then
died. at which point the grand plan stopped
short in its process of realization. 1t is true
that the erection of q Protestant Epriscopal
cathedral has been continued, though very
sluggishly, and that the school, which
was a feature of the scheme, has at last been
opened; but nobody looks for much more.
The needless delay of years is regarded A. a
precursor of failure, just as the trial of the
hotel for women was made abortive. After
the elimination of charity from Garden City,
a strictly business character will be given to
the enterprise. That is prediction which
you may as well accept rs a certainty. .-NeW

Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1883-03-30

In a letter to the Iroquois club of
Chicago, in response to an invitation
to be present at their banquet to be
held on the 18th of next month,
Senator Maxey, of Texas, wrote as
follows
"The celebration of the birthday
of Thomas Jefferson would be a
most appropriate occasion for recon
Cling on sound democratic prin-
ciple, any difference there may be
among democrats on the tariff ques-
ton, which, in the nature of things,
will be the leading question in the
next campaign. Thomas Jefferson
said in his first annual message,
Dec. s, 1901: Agriculture, manu-
fatcures, commerce and navigation.
the four pillars of our prosperity. are
the most thriving when left free to
individual enterprise.
Senator Maxey is safe in saying
that the tariff question will be the
leading question in the next cam
paign. Nothing short of a miracle
can prevent it from being the one
great issue upon which the cam
paign of 1884 will be conducted.
There is one straightforward course
which the democratic party ought to
pursue in regard to this subject; and
in the fearless unwaveriog following
out of this course lies success, while
in any other course lies disaster.
The democratic party is rightfully a
free-trade or low tariff party, and it
must prove true to its traditions,
and when in national convention as
sembled declare for tariff for reve-
nue. only, if at all, and demonstrate
by the choice of standard bearers
that it still holds the faith of its
founder, that agriculture, manufac-
lures, commerce and navigation, the
four pillars of our prosperity, are
most thriving when left free to indi-
vidual interests" Let the party do
this fearlessly, and if any of its
members cannot become reconciled
to this article Of faith, let them GO
over to the party of protection and
high taxation, which the republican
party has been since its beginning,
and by recent action in congress has
demonstrated that it ever shall be.
If some high protectionists were
made to walk the plank from the
democratic ship it would convince
hosts of earnest free-traders of re-
publican predictions that demo-
Gratis were really in earnest in
their cry for tariff reform, and the
recruits from this source would
greatly outnumber the loss by the
desertion of protectionists. If the
democratic party follows the course
plainly marked out by sense of
duty, the result will be immediate
and permanent success; while if it
smothers principle for the sake of
policy the result will be ultimate
disgrace and dishonor.
