Thatcher, Primrose and West gave an ex-
cellent minstrel entertainment last evening to
avery large audience at Portland Theatre. AT
the beginning of the performance kilograms
were read from Reed and McNish, two of the
principal members of the company announcing
their inability TO appear owing to Illness. The
recent weather has been very trying to travel
ing combinations aud the above named gentle
men were not the only ones in the company
who were evidently sufferers
The first part was particularly good. The
songs, ballads and jokes were fresh and new.
Thatcher and Primrose were two of the best
end men ever seen here. Primrose's take off
on highfaiutin musical writing was capital.
Thatcher has very quiet style which made
his hits all the more forcible Frank Howard
sang "Only Pansy Blossom with good taste
and effect, and the gentleman who rendered
eve never speak when we pass by fairly
earned his encore. In the olio all the special
ties were so good it would hardly be fair to par
tieularize. 1t is enough to say the entertain
ment was first class.

The Cost Of Cattle.

Reno Gazette A breeder and
feeder we'll known to those inter
ested in cattle matters makes the
following statement Of the average
cost OF production of steer IL
months old, including every need
full expense from birth. He places
the average cost of good steer II
months old, 500 : two year old, $53.
Value Of one-year old. $35 value
Of the two-year. old, Sl04; profit on
the one-oear old, S6; profit on the
two, ear-old, $50. To keep the
steer another year adds SO to the
value of $lO4 at two years, making
. saving of S160, a saving Of S35
worth Of pork from droppings, or
$135. At three years he finds the
steer is worth at seven cents a
pound, $154, profit of $18 on the
last year. The estimate shows a
profit of Sc the first year, $50 the
second, and $l8 the third. If this
is true wise farmers will sell their
steers at two-years-old. OF course,
stall fed cattle are referred to.

The Stock Report makes these
sensible observations
Muldoon is better man than
Dinnie !; but what will Muldoon
be should he live to be as old as
Dinnie now is and have = large
family of chi dren around him as
old Dinnie has? We admire
muscle but we admire stamina
more. It is we'll to show young
men how to tivate muscle; but
it is better to show them how
muscle may oe cultivated without
fatal draft upon vitality. Yesser-
day Mnlt!oon, a Young man, was
pale, wan. and vomiting, and his
friends were telling how he had
been operated upon, in what ter
rible state his kidneys we're, ETC.,
while Dinnie, twenty years his
senior, was fonrishing a 235-
pound dumb-bell on the stage. TO
be active, strong and sound at %
years is one thirg 10 be active,
strong and sound at 4S years is an
other. 1t does not seem very hard
to build up muscle but it is a rare
achievement to make it last. We
have mastered the former science,
let us try our hand ct the latter.
We have too many old J onng men
around not enough young old
men.
