Our beef cattle are grades or
ought to be. No one raises through
breds for the shambles. True, now
and then u free-martin, or barren
heifer, is fattened and killed, but
they are fortunately rather rare, and
occasionally, when there is slow sale
for bull calves, they are made into
steers, and turned in with the grades.
Grades which are 1.-THE progeny OF
fulI-blooded bulls, with grade or
common cows, as rule grow larger,
and quite as quickly as full-bloods.
They may be surpassed by cross
breds, the progeny of full-blooded
parents of different beef breeds, but
these crosses are also rare. The
who'e object of breeding pure is, to
secure strong "prepotency," Of a ten
dency in the offspring to develop the
characteristics of their ancestry. We
have often discussed the fact, that
carefully bred males, which possess
llS Cllul SClCllSplCS VI GhSil ttiiSSotiJ
for many generations, will impress
their peculiarities SO strongly upon
their offspring, that they may often
be taken for fuil-blOods, though
dropped by common, un-pedigreed
females. 1t is this which gives full
blooded bulls of peef breeds, so great
a value as the sires of animals raised
solely for beef. The prize-winners at
the great fat stock shows, are almost
always grades or cross-breds, the
latter being especially likely to win.
When two beef breeds are crossed,
the tendency of both breeds having
been for generations to produce beer
and lay on fat this inclination is ill.,
tensfied, and usually that to early
fattening besides.-American Agri-
culturist for December.

A Farm and Household Necessity.

In these days of intelligence aud
wide reaping few men enter into any
class of business without laudable
desire to know what others have done
and are doing in the same line. Hence
it Is that the physician, the lawyer,
the minister, the politician, the trades
man and the mechanic as well as
other professions and calliDgs all have
their mediums of communication
The same is also true Of the farmer,
the dairyman, the .stockman, the
horticulturist and other allied inter-
erests of the farm. To meet this de-
sire on the part of the farmer, some
twenty-three years ago the Western
Rural was founded. It has beeu con-
Quoted by practical farmer almost
from its inception, and has grown IN
power and influence until to-day it
stands at the head of the agricultural
press of America. It's editor and pro-
prietor was the prime mover and Or
ganizer of the National Farmers AL
lance. which has become power in
the reform agitation of the present
day and in time must be of inestimable
value to the farming classes. 1t is the
acknowledged champion ofthe farm
er's rights, and as such is the uncom-
promising enemy of monopolies of
every form. So great has been
its service in denouncing the adultera-
ton of food and food products, as we'll

Those who have families of children
should interest themselye In the dis

who is a parent can afford to neglect
his duty in this matter, and should
manifest a lively interest in the
school where his own and neighbors'
children receive their rudimentary,
If not principal, education: Able
school trustees and commissioners,
with capable and efficient teachers,
are important requisites, and 1t is
the incumbent duty ofevery parent to
aid in securing these desirable auxili-
aries to public and home education.
Te this end attend the school meeting,
vote for the best men for school trus-
tees, and aid in making liberal pro-
vision for first-class school il your
district. And do not fail to visit the
same occasionally, and encourage the
teacher. In this and other ways you
can do much to improve the school,
and every judicious effort in that
direction will rebound to the benefit
of all ipterested-parents, pupils and
teachers. Good officers and teachers
can best be secured through the
personal attention md Influence

FOR EVERY HOME,

The Youths Companion was the
delight OF our childhood and has been
for years the weekly treasure of our
children. 1t is the best child's paper
we have ever seen. We say this adj
visedly, after having tried the various
high-priced magazines for children.
The variety, beauty, and entertain
ment of the articles that appear in
the Youths Companion excite our
constant wonder and delight.
In our home the day of its arrival
is known as "Yonth's Companion
day. and the only bad effect we have
eyer known to arise from it's coming
is that all the child-en, and the older
folks too, for that matter, want it at
the same time. The publishers are
out with new announcement show
ing increased attractions for the new
year. Tf$1.75 is sent now, it will pay

There are several reasons for butter
becoming strong, says Hoard's Dairy
man. Among them are; Using pals
and pans that are not thoroughly
cleansed from stale milk; setting the
milk in damp, badly ventilated cellars
or milk.houses keeping the milk too
long, until it gets very sour; keeping
the cream too long; churning too
slowly, or in an unclean ehurn; not
taking all the buttermilk out of the
butter; keeping the butter in warm,
badly aired or moldy place; these all
cause the butter to become strong,
which is the effect of decomposition
in it. The food or water of the COW
will also cause this trouble,

How Freezing Benefits the Soil.

1t Is q Well-knoWn 1acC tilat Walel
in the act of freezing, expands con-
siderably, and with a force that ID
irresistible. 1t is is the freezing OF
water in their crevices and pores that
causes the rocks to be gradually
worn down, and "Weathered" as 1T IS
called, into soil. 1t is this also which
is continually reducing the soil TO
finer fragments, and which breaks up
the hard clogs and melloWs the
ground. Fall blowing or spading as
sists this effect by breaking up the
compact soil into Jumps, which are
further broken into small particles.
AS water and air can only act upon
the surface of these particles, it is
clear that the smaller they are, the
more surface is exposed to the weather
and the soil is made soluble. If
block Of hard soil of II Inches cube Is
exposed to the weather, there are S64
square inches only of it affected; II 1t
is broken up in cubes of one inch; TO-
36S square inches are exposed to these
beneficial influences; if the soil is
further broken up in fragments of one
twelfth of an inch, there are more
than 124 900 square inches thus at
fected. This fact shows how greatly
the effects of frost benefits the soil,
and therefore how necessary it is that
the land should be fall plowed, and
opportunity given for this beneficial
action of the weather. In the garden,
even, all the soil possible should be
spaded before it freezes.-American
Agriculturist for December.
The ill-health which prevails more
or less uniformly towards spring, may
be accounted for to a great degree, 10y
the lack of ventilation of cellars.
Farm house cellars are often filled III
December, with cider and vinegar in
barrels, beef barrels, pork barrels,
potatoes in bins, vegetables in heaps,
wash tubs, butter tubs, and other
articles too numerous to mention.
Besides, Towering plants taken up
for the winter, are here stored away
to be safe from frost, and the leaves
from them fall and decay. There are
boxes, old timbers, boards, etc. which
become moist and mouldy, and there
are shelves and corners, that anyone
can see to have been only halfcleaned,
and liable to be, if not already, damp,
mouldy and unwholesome. The
thing to do is, to provide outside eel
lars as soon as possible for fruits and
vegetables, and all those things liable
to decay; but before that is done, we
must do everything possible to have
our cellars under the dwellings sweet
and clean. First the cellar should be
swept (hoed out if necessary, once
week. Decaying things, whether
fruit, vegetables or boards should be
removed. Then quicklime, or half
slaked lime, should be scattered freely
in corners, under shelves, under BINS,
and around and among the barrels of
all kinds. When the lime has slaked
to a powder, it may be swept about
over the floor. If the floor be of earth
it will harden it; if it be of wood or
cement, it will help to keep it sweet.
Finally, on every suitably day, win
dows and doors should be thrown
open, and fresh air allowed tolpass
freely through.-American Agricul-
turist for December.

We understand that the moving of
the post office off the Manitoba right
of-way is the result of a personal con-
troversy between Supt. Kemp and
Postmaster Torpey. If this Is true,
Mr.. Kemp is much smaller man
than is generally supposed. We have
always thought him q person of liberal
ideas, who in the management of his
division of the road, would do as we'll
for the people rs his superior officers
would permit, and we regret to find
anything indicating that we have
been mistaken. So far as the public
is concerned, it matters not whether
Mr.. Torpey is right or wrong, III the
squabble. If he is right, there is no
reason for moving the office; If he Is
wrong, there is still less of reason, for
it is exceedingly mean for MIR. Kemp
to cause Il lasting Inconvenience to
the entire business portion of our city,
just to satiate a grudge against
single individual. But few of the
reasons which existed awhile ago,
for moving the buildings from the
right-of-w way which were used for the
exclusive benefit of the persons own
ing them, apply to the express or
post office buildings. In both OF
these the entirepublic las an interest,
and in causing their removal from
the convenient place occupied by
them, Mr.. Kemp has shown petty
and decidedly rancorous disposition.
E.B. Woodward the jeweler has
fine stock of holiday goods.
1t seems strange that so many
people in the East will allow their
money to lie idle, or when loaned,
bring them but nominal rate OF IN
terest, when there are so many OPP
portunities for profitable investment
in the Wet. Land in this county
for instance, is very cheap, but is
sure to advance rapidly, in value. If
the history of the older Minnesota
counties will answer for Il standard
by which to Judge of the future OF
this, we are safe in saying that all
the land IN the county will advance
in value at least one dollar per acre,
per year. At any rate Stevens county
land can not fail to prove profitable
investment, and so long rs any of it
is in the market, it seems very strange
that unneeded funds will be permit
ted to remain idle in eastern banks.
Then, too, money commands double
the rate of interest here that it does
in the east, and money lenders, as
we'll as those seeking investments,
will find it to their own advantage to
turn their attention westward. The
West, and especially this part of it is
bound to march to the front and
self interest ought to be sufficient to
attract money-lenders, investors and
actual farmers in this direction in
numbers inuumerable.
