AT a large meeting Of farmers at
Brechin, representing that district of
Forfarshire (Seotland), a resolution was
adopted that the government should be
memorialized to permit the importation
Of store cattle from America, against an
amendment to the effect that the inn
portation of live cattle should be pro-
hibited from every country where the
privy council are satisfied that infect
ious disease does not exist.

Cattle on the Musselshell.

"a. S. Shannon, OF the Musselshell,
was in Billings last week, and in talking
of the stock interests Of his section took
q cheerful view of the condition Of cattle
this spring. He considers the reports Of
heavy losses very much exaggerated.
He has not lost a head from his herd,
and is Of the opinion that the losses will
not reach five per cent. Losses on the
Musselshell ranges have been small,
remarkably so, considering the unusu-
ally severe winter we have just passed
through.

NEIHART, March IA, 1884.
In your issue of March 8th [ noticed.
the farmers were asking for information
in regard to alfalfa. Alfalfa il a No. |
feed for horses when green, and when
dry it is good for hogs and cows. It will
grow in Montana just as well as in any
other country. When first sown it
should be protected from the frost, but
when once planted it is good for ever.
1t can be cut three times a year. The
seed can be obtained in Sam Francisco
in any grocery store, and at a very
cheap rate. Yours, &c,

$50 sheep from the attack of a bear on
Saturday last. Many of the sheep, of
course. died of suffocation, the presence
Of bruin in the fold causing them to pile.

A Heavy Assignment.

CINCINNATI, September 2O.-Buchman
Bros, clothiers, assigned this afternoon
to NJ. J. Mack & Herman Hushman.
Their statement to Bradstreet's in
July makes their capital about
$4,000, with personal means of
the firm of $4,000. There are
more liabilities than given, some $780,
600 to $75, 600. No statement is made
yet of the present condition, except
that it is understood that the prefer
ences amount to 100000, and have
been given mostly to creditors
in this city. Private advices from New
York say the firm owes Rindskopf Bros.
& Co., of that city, s15O,0O0, but a
member of the firm yesterday stated
to a representative of Bradstreet's
agency, that it had no financial rela-.
tons whatever with Rindskopf Bros. &
Co. The firm has been established
twenty years, succeeded Rindskopf &
Co., and is composed OF. Alexander and
Joseph Buchanan and Abraham Mayer
brother-in-law. Raphael Buchanan,
the elder brother, is manager for Rind-
skopf q Co., of New York The best
estimate places the liabilities at$40O, 600
The assets are mainly absorbed by the
preferences.

No Progress on the CoIorndo-Utah
Pool Business.

CHICAGO, September 20.-The general

morning, resumed negotiations with 8
yiew to forming pool on the Colorado

further attempt would be made at this
time toward a settlement of the question
of the Colorado and Utah traffic, be-
yond, possibly, an attempt to main

agreement entered into yesterday with
respect to the Nebraska business.

failure to agree upon some basis of set
tlement this afternoon, it is deemed
doubtful if negotiations will be resumed
again next week.

Something that every merchant, every
farmer, in fact every man who hasothe
desire for the prosperity of the Territory
at heart, should peruse and think over
this morning is the letter published in
another part of the SUNDAY HERALD, on
the Touring interests of Utah It has
been written by gentleman who prob
ably knows as. much about the condi-
ton of trade in Utah as any other
business man within her borders, and
one whose avocation puts within his
reach a thorough knowledge of the diff
ferent needs of all our sections.
The matter of an outlet for our sur
plus grain is indeed a subject that
should engage the serious and immedi-
ate attention of all business men. With
out going SO far as to echo the opinion of
an influential dealer, that sit sis the
key to good times in Utah Territory" we
still think that it is so important a
factor in our prosperity, that if no
favorable solution is found for the
question--we shall never see general
bTiskness OF trade restored, let the
mining, cattle and wool interests -four
ish as they may. Ii this should seem
an extreme statement, we can only re-
fer the reader to the files of letters
which daily reach this Office, all bearing
the same burden, what shall we do
with our grain ?"-to. say nothing of
the discouraged wagon and implement
collectors who are returning from their
harvesting visits.
Such men as Hon. Lorenzo Snow in
Box Elder County, Mr.. Peeryin Weber,
Mr.: Mitchell in Summit, Mr.. Parr in
Cache, Mr.. Candland and Mr.. Bsmber-
ger in ,Sanpete, several in Utah, others
in Wasatch and Emery, all report that
the yield has been unprecedented; that
farmers have their all now laid in grain,
and that there is no outlet for the sur
plusage, even at the starvation figures
now prevailing. The remedy, all agree,
lies in the chance that the railroads
may be induced, entreated, pressed,
threatened or cajoled-no one suggests
how-into allowing US to compete with
Iowa and Nebraska for the Colorado,
Idaho and Montana trade.
Our correspondents suggestion this
morning strikes nearer TO- something
practicable than anything he have be-
fore seen-that Mr.. John Sharp be
asked to intercede for Utah and Utah
nrodupers to the railroad.

BUSINESS is reviving in Provo. The

by many business and professional men,
that the schools are being well attended

usual activity follows the harvest of the
