SKILL IN FEEDING.
The Importance of Food i'm the Develop
ment of Breeding-StOck.

The Importance OF ROOD an the Develop
ment of Breedng-StOck.
The breeding of all farm animals re-
quires not only skill in mating, so that
proper conformation may be brought
about, but during the growing life OF
the animal the food must be of such a
nature as best to develop the animal for
the purpose for which it is required.
The breeding animals in cattle, sheep
and swine must receive a different feed
ing from that where the short life ends
at the slaughter-house. The breeding
animal must be fully developed in every
part. The animal brought to the block
at one, two OF three years of age re-
quires only such bony and muscular de-
velopmcnt as will enable il to lay on the
proper amount of fat to bring the mus
Gle into the best condition for food. But
the breeding animal must be developed
in the specific qualities to beinherited by
the offspring.
In the breeding of horses all this must
receive the most careful attention. The
bone and muscle giving strength and
speed to the horse, together with the
fonm and perfect symmetry that always
accompany these attributes, must be
carefully guarded. Here the similarity
in the rearing of horses and other live
stock ends. Whether for breeding,
labor or work every colt must be fed
from 'colthood up with view to the
perfect development of bone and muscle.
Fully as much depends upon the feeding
as in the breeding of the horse. Noi
only this, however good the food, if the
proper care be not given as to shelel
and no less in exercise, the end can only
result in loss, for however good tht
strain of blood the horse can not reach
that perfection to bring the best profit
for the money invested. Chicago TrI

UNITY.

The thing most needed and desirable
among working people is unity. With
out it we accomplish nothing; with 1t
we can achieve what seems the impos-
sible.
Why then is it that we do not unite ?
Why is 1t we are divided2 Why do we
not, as work ers suffering under one COM
mon injustice, band ourselves together
under one good common-sense head and
swear allegiance to the one central idea,
that in unity alone is there strength, and
divided we fail and fall a miserable sac
ritice to our own lack of ordinary horse
sense. Why do we not take, as an ex-
ample of what unity can ACCOMPLISH,
the railroads of the country. The capi-
talists and learned economists of the
country say that the law of supply and
demand mu determine the price paid
to labor, and also that products and SER
vices of all kinds are paid for according
as the supply is great or small.
Now, there is hardly town or hamlet
in the land but has an over-supply of
railroads, and that being the case, &C.
cording to the capitalistic argument of
supply and demand limiting price of
services, one would suppose that the rail-
roads would be just making bare llv-
ing for those who own them. But such
is not the case. however, as we can see
that no matter how plentiful the supply,
or how great the number of railroads,
their tariff (wages) is not lowered
thereby.
And how is it that an over supply Of
railroads does not reduce the wages 0f
railroads? They pool their business, or
in plain words, thev unite, and say to
those who employ them, 1--WE propose
to do work only at such figures and you
will have to pay those prices as we have
union (pooI) which determines what
we shall get for our services"
We as workingmen should learr
lesson from the railroads. If they
acted like the foolish workingmen
have heretofore when they say as We
often hear them say, that ii don't see
what good those labor unions are any
way can get along without them )" if
l say, the railroad owners had no more
sense than the workingman they woulC
be at war eternally and their tariff
would consequently be so low that they
would be, like the workingmau, always
on the brink of starvation.
The workingman can learn this same
lesson from the men who engage in any
of the many lines of business, in the
manufacturing or commercial pursuits
The lesson to be learned IS that supply
and demand" regulates the wages o
none but fools who have not enough
sense to unite.

Their work is but a pleasant task to while

Through fowery dells they wander forth
whene'er their work is done,
Rejoicing midst gay birds that sing as fades

Return they home at dewy eve to calm anc

Grim want their slumber ne'er disturbs, with
plenty they are blest.

BUSINESS AND PATRIOTISM.

Half a dozen celebrations such as
Denver had on Monday would do the
city great deal of good. Our business
men are all the better for an occasional
stirring up.
The above is a fair sample of the pat
riotiC(?) sentiment which pervades
business" men and the capitalstic
papers which cater to their every want
Of course the paper that printed the
above as its opinion, classes "our bust,
ness men" as the city. Business" cal,
culation entered into the celebration Of
the nations great day to the exclusion
ofevery patriotic sentiment.
The same desire actuated the Palace
Theatre bunko outfit, that made the
soap maker load up wagon load of soar
and label it with big letters and patriot
ism. The Palace gave $25 towards the
expense fund, and they had an eye, like
the rest of the business men," towards
the main chance, and that as the mix
ing of business" and "po triotism." The
bunkos knew they would reap an hun.
dredfold from their sowing, as the vic,
tins they could secure on that dav would
more than repay them.
The drygoods honse that painted its
name in four foot letters on an immense
canvas and hauled it before the admir-
ing gaze of $4,000 people who need dry
goods, was extremely patriotic.
The only conclusion the workingman
can come to is that the celebration was
gotten up for the sole purpose of adver
tislng the wares of the business mem
who desecrate day made sacred to all
true Americans by the patriots whose
names are written on the grand old De-

Pardon M'sieu'.

Truth in Small Doses.
In the petitions for pardon for state
prison convicts, we see that those for
burglary are all denied or continued,
while those for murder we're all favora-
blv received; none denied.
Among the burglars was enc sixteen
year-old boy who was misled by bad
company, and broke into freight car
his father on condition of pardon would
send him out of the state denied.
Among the murderers was man who
under great provocation" assisted his
wife in climbing up the golden stair
recommended for pardon.
This would almost make one think
that the worthy prison directors consid-
cred property and Its protection of more
importance than human life.
What farce the whole thing is; the
question of the crime seems to have
nothing to do with the fate of the perpe-
TRAITOR,
If he is rich, has influence of friends
he is released. If he is poor, un-
known, etc.-to prison he goes.
If were a man l would be ashamed
to look on and never make a protest.
Such state of things is outrageous and
is getting worse every day.
