Farmers, as general thing, are given to
croaking and declaring there is no profit in
this and money is lost in that branch of farm
ing, until the wonder is that any of them keep
out of the poor-house A Big Woods farmer,
however, has demons trated that there is profit
in feeding and grazing cattle. On the LIST of
December, 1888, he bought "A head OF cattle,
which averaged 693 los. per head. They were
not fancy cattle but good, thrifty steers be
tween two and three years old. lie wintered
them in the field on straw and fodder alone,
without grain On the list of March they were
stabbed, TO prevent injury TO the grass. On the
18th of April they went on grass again. They
were sold on the 9th cf November, their aver
age weis hit cling 1875 lbs. The average gain
on each steer was SOP lbs. They cost 81 so
per leo lbs and were sold at s. so. The
average cost per steer was S3l Is, and they
sold for Sos - per head, more than double the
amount originally invested, the profit per steer
being S34 81 The farmer thinks his profits
would have been greater if several OF the steers
had not been affected with foul hoof Bel H:

We call the attention Of our readers 10 the
interesting and well considered paper of Mr..
John W. HALEY, published on the first page o.
this issue, relating to the subject of compulsory
education. This paper was read by Mr.. H"lley
before the Teachers Association al their las,
meeting and in such high favor was il received
by the members of that associa lion that re-
quest WAS made of Mr.. HALEY 10 allow the
paper to be published under their auspices, to
which he, much against his wishes, finally con
senled. Mr.. HALEY treats the subject in his
usual comprehensive and thorough manner, and
the impression that must be lett in the minds
of all who peruse his able paper is that his sub
iect is treated in an exhaustive and deeply
thoughtful manner and that 10 argument tina
could be advanced TO prove his side has beer
left unsaid We hope every reader Of ths
TINES will read this paper.

Washington, 31.-The Secretary
OF the Treasury has issued circular
to customs officers that on the ar
rival of the schooner Theresa A.
Kennedy, Of New Orleans, or any
information of her, to take steps to
detain her until further instruc>
lions. on the ground that she LETT
San Andreas without papers and
that Henry King, the master, has
abscOnded with the cargo.
During the discussion in the Sen
ate on the Greeley bill, Secretary
Chandler was quite severely criti-
cised by Salisbury and Mcpherson,
that as soon as the Senate
adopted the provision to which the
Secretary was opposed he set to
work to counteract the Senate's &C.
ton. Salisbury trusted the Senate
would not abdicate its functions in
favor of the Secretary of the Navy
or anybody else.
Mcpherson thought the amount
to be expended should be limited as
it stood it would give the Secretary
power which Congress ought never
to give to any officer OF the govern
ment.

British Politics,

London, 31.-An urgent summons
has been issued to conser Vatives. The
"whip" states that an amendment REL
alive to the Egyptisn policy Of govern
ment will be moved to the address in
reply to the Queens speech ana that an
important division will in sll probability
be taken on the 7th of February. There
will be another division also on the 18th
of February when Bradlaugh attempts
to take his seat.
London, 31.-A deputation Of the
Leeds liberal conference called upon
Gladstone and submitted resolutions
in favor Of the further extension of
suffrages. Gladstone said they
would be made aware of the inten,
tions of government in few days.
It would be out of place to give
particulars now, what was wanted
was union in government itself.
The country g hould be on it's guard
against the direct and indirect
methods of the opposition. In con-
clusion he expressed the hope that
the deputation would find that the
promises held out by various MEM
bers would not be untitled.

also bring any number of people down

tected In the deserts Of Soudan, and

not only extremely danger US, but
q direct challenge to disaster. His
friends must watch his movement

Cairo, 81 General Gordon leaves
Assouan to-day, en- route for Khar-
town. He has written a letter to
Ell Mahdi, asking him to Sand the
European prisoners in his posses
sion to Khartoum. Colonel Sarto-
RUS telegraphs from Sartoum as
follows: "Jinkat andsTrinkitat are
still ours. 1 am going to join Baker
Pasha at Trinkitat tomorrow. We
will advance on Friday. Baker
Pasha recently made a cavalry re.
connoisance, and attacked Osman
Digna, and killed and wounded over
120 OF his men. Friendly tribes still
hesitatingly move the last ten miles
toward Tokar. 1 have written
Baker Pasha strongly urging an i'm
mediate advance from Trfnkitat.
Three days after Baker Pasha's
reconnaissance I made . sortie with
infantry. Osmand Digna at
tackled me, but lost several
men, whereupon he retired inland.

General Gordon left his specie at
Assouan. He will receive advances
Of 10000 pounds from Greek mer-
chants at Khartoum.
Cairo, 31.-Advices from Sinkat
are heartrending. It Is said the
people have eaten all the dogs in
town, and only horses and one bag
Of barley remain. There will be
left on February LIST, when,
unless relieved, the inhabitants in
tend to try to cut their way to Sua-
kim. They say they had better be
killed than starved.

Another Plot, Probably.

Vienna, 31.-The President of the
Council and Minister of the interior
sent letter to the lower house of
the Reicbsrath explaining the ex
tfaordlnary measures taken In con
sequence of recent crimes, the pres
ent means being insufficient to
suppress them. Yesterday af; ernOon
the attendants at the Court Ooera
House heard strange noises near the
Emperor's box in the Opera House
1t was quite dark, but'they thought
they saw man in thel<house and
Immediately lighted the gas. The
police and attendants finally dis.
covered the stranger In the toilet
chamber adjoining the imperial box.
He had barred the door and would
not let anybody in, but after a short
struggle was arrested. He said the
previous nights performance was so
dull he had fallen to sleep, and when
woke up found himself in the box.
Mathematical Instruments, tape
wires, ETC., were found
on him. He ia an engineer Of Ba-
varia. The police pretendsto have
evidence to show thatshewas recon-
noitering in connec tioFeWith q plot
to assassinate the Kaiser. The opera
house is now strongly guarded by
and police, and there is
much excitement.

Big Railroad Subsidy.

Ottawa, 81. Resolutions were
submitted by the Government TO
Parliament to authorize a loan by
the Government to the Canada Paci-
fie Railway Company Of so, 800, Geo,
cash, payable in 1891, at per cent.
interest. Meantime $500, 900 of
this is to be advanced money, and
the balance as work on the railroad
proceeds. This is additional to the
balance of S25,OcO,OOO subsidy
granted by the original charter,
this balance now amounting to S12,-
SOC. 900, and also to be paid as
the road is built. The government,
while making the advance of S22,
100000, has the first charge on the
whole railway; but the amount ad-
vanced, together with the balance
of the cash subsidy due, will enable
the company to complete its whole
line to the Pacific, and obviste the
necessity of paying any more capital
or bonds.
