One Of the leading journals in III

One Of the leading journals in the
county says that ga Democratic
member Of the Illinois legislature is
confident that that body will elect a
United States Senator in spite of the
tie "We have the postoffices, the
marshalships and all the federal offices
at our disposal" said he, "and when
a break is made it will be from the
Republicans to u.s." Well, we shall
see, but The TINES has the most i'm
plicit faith that the Republicans will
stand like rock of adamant for their
principles and the men who repre-
sent them. Besides it is going to
take the approval of Republican
Senate before any of these fellows
can be postmasters, marshals or other
federal officers; and we think the
political traitor will find Jordan a
hard road to travel.

per, but that it may make steady adj
vances and become the great Teacher
of the nations, showing by both pre-
cept and example that with diversi-
fed interests and strongly conflicting
opinions, we yield to the rule of the
majority, regardless of the ways by
which that majority was secured, in
full confidence that all wrongs will be
remedied and grievances redressed in
due Time.
True, the business OF the past year
has not been as fourishing as could
have been desired, or as was gener-
ally expected, and, yet, if we look the
world over we shall find that in the
United States there has been less
cause for fault finding on this score
than in any other country on the face
of the globe. The combined press
Of the United States cannot make
business good by windy assumptions
for the reason that the causes which
depress trade and commerce are not
matters of mere sentiment. 1t is
true, nevertheless, that the press
ought TO encourage the people 10
strike out manfully and to be up and
doing despite the untoward circum-
stances of the hour. Confidence is
plant Of slow growth, and capital is
the most timid things in existence,
but the spirit of determination to
overcome apathy and tmidity, and to
resist the tendency to magnify dull
times ought TO find in the press that
encouragement which is most helpful.
To ignore existing facts, and 10 i'm
agine that it is the province of the
press to mislead the public by state
ments which are merely the coinage
Of the editors brain, is not The
TINES idea of the duty we owe oul
readers. The truth is sometimes un.
palatable, but falsehood always mis-
leads, under whatever guise it is pre-
sented.
The old year is buried amid the
rubbish Of the past, and the new yeal
with its duties and care iss open be
fore US. The country never demand
ed of its citizens greater loyalty OF
| devotion to those principles of honor
rectitude and industry which give to

Unfaltering fidelity to that which j:

1885,.

The TINES extends to its patrons
and friends a cordial New Years
greeting. If the past year has been
to any of you in any sense period
of sadness, disappointment or loss,
may the coming twelve months bring
with them blessings and recompense.
This year, may the shadows of mis-
fortune be lifted from the homes Of
sorrow and suffering; may the fire on
the hearth burn more brightly than
ever before wherever the embers
have nearly died out;-may prosperi-
ty and contentment drive away all
the gloom of the past, and may the
future have in store for each and all
full measure of prosperity and hap.
piness; sometimes in life it is hard at
the moment to see the silver lining of
the dark clouds which often overhang
us, but experience teaches US that the
misfortunes that so often come TO all
of us, are rarely without their com.
pensation. To many readers of The
TINES the political changes of the
past year have not come as an accept
able issue of the sternly fought con-
test. Among many of you there are
bitter regrets that the accidents of an
hour brought verdict different from
what you fondly anticipated. And,
yet, there is great cause for gratif-
cation that the result has not brought
decentralization or disintegration to
the party, or distrust of the grea,
principles which are the cohesive
bond that binds us together. The
duty we have now to perform de.
mands integrity of action, fidelity oil
purpose and unfaltering courage, and
all these we have, for which let us be
thankful as we enter upon the work
of the future. The campaign of 1884
was not without its lessons and if as
a. party we heed the teachings of the
contest we shall, in the coming con-
test regain our strength. add to our
numbers, and increase the magnitude
of past victories. A party with a
record so enviable, as that of the Re.
publican party is, with men so true
to the highest principles as the Re-
publicans are, may meet with reverses
bur humiliation can never come
from defeat which weakened no
part of the glorious structure.
The beginning of of the New Year
is an important period. 1t is the
time when new resolutions of stern
fidelity to the right for the future are
more often formed and when so formed
adhered to with an unfaltering pur-
pose. THE TINES to-day sends to its
readers the fraternal greetings of the
season in the spirit with which it is
wont to celebrate the opening of an.
other year that all of us may dedicate
ourselves to the duties Of 1885 with
manly courage and friendly feeling.
And, during this year, let us enlarge
the scope of our sympathies,-let us
fight the good fight for all that is
manly, righteous and noble, that our
common country may not only pros.

WEED OUT THE DAIRY STOCK
From The Breeders Gazette:

From The Breeders Gazette:
One of the mistakes most frequent
ly committed by our farmers is that of
always disposing of the best stock on
the farm and retaining the poorest.
All farmers do not make this mistake,
but it must be conceded that great
many do. The dairyman who sells
two or three of his best animals to the
drover, because he is offered ten or
fifteen dollars more than the value of
more inferior animals, does himself a
lasting injury. He perhaps, by doing
so, gets rid of the only animals that
pay a respectable profit on their keep
ing. Dairymen know or should know
that diaries generally contain animals
that pay profit, and very often a
great many animals that do not pay
for their keeping. The profit earned
by the profitable animals in the dairy
is taxed and sometimes very severely
taxed to overcome the loss incurred
by keeping poor animals and to make
the dairy profitable as whole. Very Of
ten if the good animals in dairy are
not sufficiently good or numerous, that
the dairy does not return a profit.
Again there may be times or circum-
stances under which the dairy, even
if Of most excellent quality and man.
aged in the most perfect manner, will
return but little or perhaps no profit
at all. Now it is very evident that
the dairyman who makes handsome
profit from his dairy can not afford to
sell even one of his best COWS, unless,
as is not apt to be the case, he should
be offered price greatly in excess OF
her apparent value. The dairyman
can not afford to sell one of his best
cows, for the reason that such acton
will have an untoward effect upon the
prosperity of his business. Even If a
dairyman has more cows than
he can keep, he cannot afford
to commence at the head of
his herd to reduce their numbers. And
again, if the dairy does not pay a
profit by reason of the preponderance
of the poor and Improbable animals
or for any other reason, the farmer can
not afford to sell his best COWS and re-
tain the poorer ones. While the far
mer engaged in dairying should keep
no more cows than he can keep at a
profit, and when compelled to reduce
the numbers of his dairy should in all
The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1885-01-02

cases select the poorest animals to
turmoil. Yet at the same time no COW
should be kept in the dairy that is
kept at loss. The reason for this is
obvious: if all the animals 10 the dairy
whose keeping entail loss were dis
posed of the profit realized from the
remainder would be much greater.
The profit realized from the profitable
animals would not have 10 be taxed,
as is to often the case, to cover up and
hide the losses incurred by keeping
poor and Improbable COWS. And
again by disposing OF all poor and
Improbable animals and keeping none
but profitable COWS the profits of the
dairy can be very materially increased
in another way.
All dairy farmers make a practice
of keeping just about what stock their
farms can support. Now | do not
object to this course, if the mistake is
not committed of keeping just few
heads too many. There is no business
which of itself alone will maintain for
a longer period the fertility of the
farm 50 we'll as dairy husbandry.
Hence it is only good practice to keep
as many cows as can be kept at a
profit The mistake that great many
dairymen make, however, is that of
keeping too many. Now by disposing
Of few of the poorest COWS in the
dairy, the remainder will do much
better. The pastures, instead of being
overstocked, will furnish an abun-
dance of feed, and the cow will re.
spond to. this generous method of
feeding IN a way to make the farmers
believe that prosperity is returning 10
the dairy. The dairy farmer can not
afford to sell his best cows and keep
poor ones instead. He can not afford
to keep Improbable COWS at all. He
cannot afford to overstock his pastures
nor yet can he afford to keep so much
stock in winter that he is constantly
in doubt as TO whether he has hay
enough to winter his stock. This stale
OF uncertainty is quite too apt 10
affect the daily rations doled out to
the COWS, and this course in turn
affects the profit ofthe dairy. In short
the farmer can not afford to do
anything for the fun of it, and he can
afford to do anything which will pay
profit.

1t is said that many of the manu-.

partially shut down, are full of orders.
But the trouble is contracts have been
made at prices at which the ware
cannot be manufactured at profit at
the late price paid for labor. If this
is true the contract price is too low,
and the contracts should not have
been made at such prices. The fact
is labor has not been paid too much

earn a good living for himself and
family, and they have not done much
more than that at any time in the

ADVERTISING sw1NDLEns.

One r. W. Hoyt, the manager of the
columbia Work Company" Boston,
has been arrested for swlndling and his
establishment broken up. His plan for
catching the gullible and beating the
simpletons was to advertise for persons
to do Light work at home" at high
prices, and free from the Objectionable
features of canvasSing. Many caught
at the bait, and were themselves caught.
They sent for the work, +" and on its
srrivaIfound that a small deposit was
required "to insure us against possible
loss from Your failure to complete the
patterns" as the swindlers said. The
deposit was equal to three or four times
tire value of the material sent; and if
the duped individual went on and com
pleted the design and sent it back to the
advertisers address, the swindIer kept
it, thus obtaining the benefit from the
simpleton's time, labor and money.
This is new scheme for swindling. and
we see by the eastern papers that it has
been worked successfully and quite ex-
tensively throughout New England and
the middle States. There are a good

The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1885-06-11

are the persons that the sharpers are
ever scheming and planning to swindle.
A very good rule to follow is to send no
money to unknown or irresponsible
parties, unless you have 'string" to
it, by which to draw it back. An honest
advertiser, who does not intend to
cheat you, will be as willing to place
himself in the way of being beaten as to
beat, but he will do neither, neither
taking advantage nor permitting others
to get the better of him. 1t is no diff
cult matter to ascertain whether or not
an advertiser is responsible, and until
the fact is known the safe way will be to
send him no money.

The WORCESTER, Mass, Spy, Republi-
can, is endeavoring to give the Demo
Gratis little hope. 1t says: "If the
Republicans should lose four Senator's
and gain none, the Senate would be
equally divided, and with Mr.. Hend-
ricks to give a casting vote, would be
practically Democratic, and that is not
unlikely to be the situation during the
last two years of President Cleveland's
administration" The encouragement
derived from this prospect is about
equal to what it would be in the sug-
gestion that if eight Republican Senators
were to turn Democrats. the latter
would be in the majority.
