The Prairie Farmer, noting the
fact that the cattle diseases now caus-
ing excitement in certain portions of
this country were brought here from
England, demands that the importa-
ton of foreign live stock be at once
stopped, as matter Of common pru-
dence and as a measure Of protection
to the cattle interests of this country.
The suggestion is wise and timely.
Ifreports be true, not only should the
importation Of stock, but of foreign
herders, be stopped. 1t is alleged that
"foot and mouth disease" was COM
municated to the herds Kansas by
newly arrived herders from Scotland.

MORNING SESSION.


The Secretary of the association in
submitting his report SCI i'll that although
prices for products had not ruled as
high during the past a. in the previous
year, yet he had reason To congratulate
the Convention upon the general re-
suits OF the year. The report was unan-
imousIy adopted.
The first paper of the morning was.
Feeding for pfeft in Minnesota" by
II. G. Howard, Mankato, Minnesota.
This essay being most interesting and
pertinent 10 this section OF the country
we reproduce it al length.
Mr.. presidents: II would seem nas-
enable To suppose tilat the farmers of
the northwest, with their splendid rich
prairie soil capable of producing the
largest yield of crops with the least till
age of any section of the UNION, with
good pure water and the most health
iul climate in the world: with the great
chain of lakes bringing ocean steamers
To their eastern boundry; with railroads
triversing their territory in all direc-
tons bringing market to the very
doors of the farmers; with the grand
old Mississippi river running through
their center, furnishing them free
roadway for their products to the ports
of all nations. | repeat that it would
be reasonable to suppose them to be in
dependantly rich providing they were
reasonably industrious and economical,
and that they must be able to enjoy to
a great extent all the luxuries of life.
That such is not the fact is not the fault
of our farmers not working, or that they
are not economical in their expenses.
They are hard working industrious
class and their expenses for the luxur-
les of life are the least of any class of
citizens of the United States. Wheat
heretofore has been the crop most re-
lied upon to sell and raise money for
needed expenses, and the price of
wheat here is based on the price of
wheat i'm London, where it comes in
competition with the wheat of other
nations. But when the farmer buys his
clothing, boots and shoes and other
goods, he discovers that the price of
these articles are not fixed by the great
market of the world which regulates the
price of his wheat; he finds set of men
standing between. him and that market,
and backed by the protective tariff they
add from % to so per cent to the price
of his purchases. The result is thus ex-
pressed. The money the farmer re-
ceives for what he sells will not pur-
chase the goods he needs and leave him
any surplus for profit. This statement
is true with very few exceptions in the
great northwest, and as rule when we
find farmer getting ahead of his debts
We find one engaged in stock rails
! ing and dairying. This fact is creating

numbers. The exercises of the after

comment, but in breeding these for
