Do Cows Need Exercise?

This much-mooted question is of quite recent origin, says the National Live Stock Weekly. It is natural to suppose that all animal life needs exercise in order to retain all its functions in healthy activity. But what kind of exercise2 Not very much locom otlon is needed in secret ing milk. Even general health is maintained with quite moderate exercise. Do not COWS get consider able exercise in stepping around, get, ting up and down, reaching for food and licking themselves when so con- fined as 10 be permitted to do 50? In Holland COWS are confined in hot stable at the beginning of winter, and are not let out until settled warm weather. This, at first, seemed in- credible; yet all witnesses testify 10 the healthy condition of the Holland COWS. Gradually, during the last few years, American dairymen have more closely confiaed their COWS, and kept them warmer than ever before, not only keeping them in warm stable, but resorting to artificial heat, and giving them warm water 10 drlnk

Ear Aiarks.

A cat,leman remarked the other day in our presence that "bad ear marks make bad cattle" In an swer to the inquiry why3 he said he did not know, but that he had ob- served in handling range cattle that animals wi:h their ears gone or badly disfgured were ugly and difficult to drive.
 The remark caused us to philoso. phise as follows: The cars were given to animals for 4 certain pur. pose and the law of adaptation was faithfully carried out in the manner of construction. Without going into the details of the formation of the bovine ear it is sufficient 10 say that it is so shaped as to catch the slight est vibration of sound and lead II directly to the organs of intelligence or instinct, as the reader may see proper to class that intellectual power our dumb animals possess. The cutting off of the ear destroys the natural conduit of sound and throws il upon the inner organs with such violence as to produce an abnormal effect and very rapidly destroy them. So 10, does the carving of the ear into many parts by slits, crops or bits destroy the approach of sounds and give exaggerated notions O.! danger. All this tends to make an animal nervous, and every practical cowman knows that this means q oublr when he attempt; o move cattle on the range or road. One or two nervous animals in a bunch of beef steers on the way to the shipping point cause a shrinkage in the herd of more than the value of one or even half dozen, in many instances, by stampeding or causing unnecessary excitement.
 The ear mark Is really of little value, so long as brands are used, in de- ,ermining the ownership and they might be dispensed with. At least such marks should be used as will affect in the least the hearing of the cattle, and these will be those that do not greatly dishgure the ear North western Live Stock Journal.

 Western Dressed.

The public just seems to be finding out that western dressed beef has not proved to ,. ,hc boon that was pro ml-cd by all it's paid advocates. In. -,ead of C capcui@g good meats in ihe css! they arc as high as ever, and 'he Consumcrs have gained practically nothing by the vaun!ed boasts of the monopolists, while the brilf sufferers have been the eastern farmers and stoCs;aiser;, who have seen the p:!ccs fer thcir cattle reduced 50 low as to leave them no margin whatever.- Dutchei's Journal.
 This is poor arglnelt against dressed meat l. dressed meet is not cheaper to the consumer, l, Is not the fault of the dressed meat system. It IS the fault oi the railroad pool, tEc Chicago syndicate and the retail butchers. The syndicate robs the producer, the retail butcher robs the consumer, and the railroad pools robs them both. IL is three-corncred "skin game," and the retail butchers hold up their corner. And how their hearts bleed because the poor consumers does not get dressed meat any cheaper. Our San Antonio butchers bled the same way. They pay a1z cents for beet on the hoof and then bleed the consumer to the tune of I5c on the block.-San An tonio (Ter stockman.

PRICES OF Coal.

PRICES OF Coal.
We gave notice that the prices of
coal had been advanced here %
cents per ton. The coal dealers
here are not in fault, as they were
compelled to keep up with the adj
vance elsewhere. Nevertheless we
can add voice to the complaint
made by the Knoxville Tribune.
Coal has become an important item
of fuel here, and as for that matter,
all along the Western North Caroli-
ma road, and beyond, sin ce the open
ing of the road to Paint Rock, which
gives direct connection with the
mines at Coal Creek and Jellico in
Tennessee. The fuel has become a
favorite one from its heat giving
powers, its compactness the ease
with which it is handled in all its
stages and in its economy. And if
the mining corporations and
railroad companies would be con-
tent with reasonable profits, the use
will continue to grow, until, even in
a wooded country, it would super
cede tor general use all other fuel.
But this the Tribune shows is not
the case, and gives us some items to
show the profits of both the coal
companies and the rail roads. The
coal companies. says the Tribune
sell their coal at six cents per bush
el On board the cars. This, deduc>
ting the cost of mining, gives clean
profit of$15 a car load before it has
been taken in charge by the rail-
road companies. These charge from
the mines to Knoxville 800 a car
load freight for 20 tons.
The Tribune says "a fair price for
hauling coal iSa cent a ton per
mile for short distances under fifty
miles. For longer distances, the
regular rates are very much lower" !"
A cent a ton per mile for the short
distance is SIS per car load. We
are too far off to make our voices
heard. Yet we already feel the eff
fects of the advance. WeWill share
also in the act of justice and good
policy the Tribune is warning to
bring about.

The VoTe OF BUNcoMBE,

Several contemporaries have alluded to
the recent vote in Buncombe as indica-
ting change Of party strength and
allegiance. Such is not the fact. In the
first place, the total vote of Buncombe
was about 200 less than two years ago
Notwithstanding an increased registra-
ton in Asheville township alone Of over
500. Secondly, there are from 240O to
2500 republican voters in this county
and Messrs. Pearson and Wells received
almost this total vote, with about 400
democratic voters who allowed their
personal prejudices over local matters to
mislead them. A very large majority oi
this 400 will be in line again two years
hence. Thirdly, fully 1900 voters re.
mained away from the polls, fully four
tifths of whom are democrats. Over con-
fidence, and dissatisfaction over local
matters, caused this. They will be true
next election. While.it was republican
victory, it was one obtained by q min
ority Ofthe people of the county.
