FARMERS ALLIANCE.

The meeting of the farmers AL
lance, Dec. q and %, at Elbow Lake
was we'll attended in spite of cold and
stormy weather and the meeting was
interesting and profitable. The fol-
lowing resolutions were adopted:
WHEREAS, After long agitation
and full discussion, the state of Min
nesota has conferred upon the board
of railroad and warehouse COM
missioners full power to establish rates
on all railways in this-state; and,
Whereas, The rates, although some
what reduced during the last year,
are still unjust, unreasonable and OPP
pressive;
Be it resolved, That we call upon
the geverner to see to it that the cor
rection of this great wrong to the
people, be no longer delayed. We ale
so call the governer's attention to the
fact that the laws relating to the ship
ment of grain, have been, and are be-
ing daily violated and ignored by the
railway companies doing business in
this state.
The right to ship from sidetracks
must be kept inviolate and cars must
be furnished to shippers upon their
reasonable demand, in accordance
with existing law. The repeated re-
fusal year after year. to furnish cars
while corporations are needlessly.ex-
tending their lines into uninhabited
territory merely for the purpose Of in
creasing their power OF taxation, cam
not be submitted to by free people.
We also urge upon the people to be
vigilant In maintaining their right to
construct fiat warehouses on all estab-
lished side-tracks, regardless Of size
or number.
We protest against the state in-
speeding grain outside the state lines
or anywhere in the state not author
lied by law. Inspecting grain out Of
mixing houses is unjust to the bonded
warehouses, to producers, and con-
sumers alike, and direct violation
OF the spirit and letterof the law.
We respectfully request the board
of railway and warehouse conn
missioners to Investigate the. subject

) Mr.. Blaine as might have been ex-
pected, has presented high-tariff pro-
lection, from a partisan point Of view,
as an opposition issue to the Presi-
dents views on tariff reduction. We
have a long and apparently very
pleasant winter before us in which to
discuss this question. and it is ques-
ton which must be settled upon Its
merits and not upon political consid-
atoms. So far, therefore. as MIR.
Blaine seeks to make it appear Us q
party issue he will fail. 1t is the
weakest ground Mfr. Blaine has ever
yet occupied, and 10 national party
can expect to go into a Presidential
campaign on that issue, no matter
who may be its leader, and win. It is
position of direct hostility to the re-
port of the tariff commission and to
the Republican platform of 1884. Up
on this question, therefore, we beg
leave to differ from Mr.. Blaine, as he
differs from us. Freely acknowledge
Ing his right to his own belief as a
Republican, we claim the same right
as such, and are free to state our be-
lief that in leading the cohorts of the
eoddled State-of Pennsylvania, with
his lieutenants, Randall, Kelly, and
Cameron, and Mcpherson, he will
find that Pennsylvania is but one
State, and there is a large army out
side Its borders who do not propose to
be levied upon any longer for its
benefit. The surplus question must
be settled in some way and in q
different way from what it has been
settled. It cannot he settled in ac-
cordance with the Blaine idea.-Chi-

law that the cooling of the terrestrial

What Shall We Do With Our Oalves7

On nearly every farm where cows
are kept more or less calves are
raised, and the few dollars they
bring in the fall or spring are
looked upon ss clear gain to the
farmer. He takes no account oil
the feed,in shape of pasture for the
summer,or coarse hay (which is
good enough for the younger stock,
and entirely forgets to consider a
grain ration necessary. Tit. calves
are saved in haphazard way;
generally the large growth ones arc
sold as veal, while the thin, poor ones
are good enough to be saved, and
the result is lot of poor scrawny
things hardly worth the saving al
six months old: A little more sense
would be paying investment to
many q farmer on this subject. A
large we'll. bred calf with a good
appetite, is much more likely to
make q good cow, or an easily
fattened beef animal. 1t is by
selections. and breeding from those
selected that farmers will improve
their stock. The time to begin this
work is at the very beginning, when
the calf is dropped. The work OF
choosing the animals to be raised
for COWS should be done at once,
and the subsequent care and feed
should be such ss to develop the
milking propensity. There are nu-
merous examples Of improvement in
breeding by which the bulk of a
herd has been increased as much as
fifty per cent. in a few years. This
requires good care and feed as well
as good breeding.

The Bread Outlook for 1889,

The Farmers Review, of Chicago
estimates the wheat crop of this
year IS more than 1000, 900 bush
els less than that of last year. This
estimate of the harvest of 1883 is
probably above rather than below
the mark. The wheat yield in the
United States in 1887 slightly ex-
ceeded 459, 100000 bushels. This
crop was somewhat short compared
with that Of 1886, year which hat
been proceeded fin 1851 by a very
short crop. 1t is evident, therefore
that after having had three deficien,
whest crops in the last tour years
the pooer classes of the country
must expect to suffer more or les:
from sacarity OF bread in 1889.
The present outlook of winter
wheat for 1889 is reported as M
better than that for 1883 was al
this time last fall. Our farmers
therefore, have no assurance thai
they will have better wheat crop
next year. Should thsre be short
age in the American harvest of 1885
and foreign wheat crops then prove
good, our farmers could not get the
present high prices for their wheat
and many of them might suffer
much distress. 1t will be we'll for
them to consider this contingen
cy.
In the face of such possibility,
says the New York Herald, it seems
Incredible that the most impassion
&c appeals can be made to farmers
and workingmen upon the eve of a
presidential election to vote for the
continuance or the increase of the
present high taxes, high war tariffs
and other unnecessary burdens OF
life.

Preparations for Winter Qairying,

The present is the time to begin
preparation for making butter in
winter. The first requisite ls that
the COWS shall come in during the
months of September and October,
and calculations must be made &C.
cordingly. The advantages of
changing from the old system of
summer dairying to winter opera
tions are so great that many Of the
most intelligent and progressive
dairy farmers have adopted the lat
ter method. They thus escape the
daily and exacting LABOR of the dai
ry during the busy summer month 8
when the general operations of the
farm demand the most attention
The COWS g. dry during the sultry
days of mid summer, when the pas
lures are most parched and scan
ty. There is no butter to be kept
over through the hot season, when
keeping it in good order is the most
difficult and prices are the lowest
These and other advantages are
grestly in favor of winter dairying,
which has been made practicable by
modern improvements in deep set
ting, preserving fodder in silos
centrifugal separating, etc. With
| this, as with other important chan
ges, it is the first step that costs
The first step as indicated above
is to hold the COWS back 80 they
will come in during September o.
next year. In the vicinity of 8
butter factory it is desirable tina,
the majority of the patrons shall
agree to make the change, that the
factory may be kept running
through the winter. Those who
already have COWS which will come
in next fall, or can buy them, must
see that good shelter is provided
with plenty of ensilage, means fol
taking the chill from the drinking
water, etc. 1t Is idle to object &c
this system as "unnaturap' for the
COWS. The dairy COW, as we have
her to-day, is an artificial produc,
anyway, which has been brought to
her present state of development by
a long course OF breading and care,
1t is only step forward in the
same direction to change her sea-
