1t Now Controls the Sale of Nearly all Prison
Made Brushes in America.
CLEVELAND, Jan. 1S.-Through a
proposition made to the local board of
worzhouse directors by C. C. Corner of
Columbus, Ohio, it is learned that a
trust has been formed to control the sale
of all common or prison-made brushes in
America. Corner offers to take the en-
tire product OF the workhouse
aud house of correction and pay
S2I 900 year over the present
cost of production. This offer is
made because the local institution is
meeting and underselling the combina-
ton in the market. The corner trust al
ready manufactures $3.50 coo worth of
the common brushes year. The insti-
tutions controlled by It are the Albany
penitentiary, the Philadelphia house of
refuge, the Eastern Pennsylvania peni-
Tertiary, the house of refuge of Morgan
"a, Pa, the boys industrial school at
Lancaster, Ohio, and the st. Louis work
house. The trust also controls large
works employing free labor in Elmira
and New York

Ranchmen from the Territory say that
the coyotes and wolves are unusually
thick and daring this winter. They are
killing many calves and colts. One
stockman alone, who has a ranch near
the Cimmarron river, has lost seventeen
calves and colts in the last four weeks.
Many are spreading poison over their
ranches TO try and thin them out.

J. a. Mccormick manager of the Dia-

for light winter on stock in the Indian

years. There were fine rains early in the

been no severe cold so far cattle and
horses are in good condition TO stand any
bad weather that may come hereafter.

A Texas man wants to know if hogs
can be fattened ready for market on
johnson grass, and asks the Fort Worth
GAZETTE:
"Do you know if they can be made
ready for market on the roots of this
grass? If so we can raise our own pork
at home, l think. Please be kind
enough to answer if a test has been made
and what result?''
In the opinion of the livestock Indi-
Gator, grass of any variety would amount
TO very little after the swine had been
Ffattened or even fed upon its
roots, though we believe it has been
demonstrated that hogs can be fattened
on clover or alfalfa hay, the seed afford
ing sufficient nutriment for that purpose,
though it strikes us as being rather ex-
pensiye food. Grass will undoubtedly
produce growth and muscle, and were
hogs pastured to a greater extent during
the first few months of their existence,
we are sure there would be less hog chol-
era, and consequently greater profits TO
the swine breeders.

Good news comes from all the terrific
ries in regard to cattle, and to the most
satisfactory manner in which this great
industry is looking up, says the Kansas
City Times:
For twenty-five years in Montana
there has never been seen more favor
able state Of affairs The cattle there
are fat and thriving, while from every
possible indication not single steer will
have been lost at the close of the winter.
Accurate estimates put the exports from
that territory during the year 1858
at 100 900 head. From Texas 1876,
600 head viii be the minimum drive,
and from Wyoming 50 ZOO heae more.
Idaho, according to close figuring, will
will send forward IS 900 head, Utah 49,
600, New Mexico 81 200 and Arizona II
600. Estimates have not yet been made
as to COlorado's output, but the inform
alton is that it will be quite large and Of
a very superior quality. No report of
sickness anywhere accompanies these most
gratifying bulletins. Nor has a single
case of pleuro- pneumonia or bloody muir
rain projected dark shadow across the
cattlemen s rOseate Sky in any direction.
As is well known, the losses on stock in
1867 were positively frightful. Many
a patient and Woodworking ranchman
saw the laborsDf lifetime swept away
in night But those who could hold on
and did hold on are now coming out roy
ally at the big end of the horn. Last
years business in beef was very large
far greater than at any previous season
for eleven years, while good prices have
put all of the stockraisers without excep-
ton firmly upon their feet.

Twenty-three head of buffalo, some

recaptured and taken to the yards.
In speaking Of these animals the Kan
sas City Times says:
1t was found that the full blooded buff
aloes were by no means as wild as the
hYbrids. The greatest trouble was caused
by the latter class, as they fought vi
ciously. One of them was overtaken by
some of his cowboy pursuerS on East
Eighteenth street yesterday afternoon
and made a most. desperate fight. One
OF the cowboys struck him blow with
club and lodged behind a telephone pole.
He did SO just in time to save himself
from q violent death, for the

Annexntlon With Cannda.

Much has been said concerning the
annexation of Canada to the United
States. In Canada's present situation
such step would be impossible. In the
first place, she Is not a free.will agent,
she being subject to the powers thatsbe
the British Government.
Canada is England's white haired boy.
At the London Exposition in 1885 Queen
Victoria offered special compliment to,
ard made honorable mention of, the Ca
madam products. During the war In the
Soudan, Canada was the only dependency,
Of England, that volunteered, to send
troops England Is the consumer of
about two-thirds Of the ex-troops of
Canada Before Canada could annex to the
United States or any otl er coun'ry ste
must first secede from Britain, and to
ask her to take such a step under the
present existing circumstances, is like
asking a child, TO leave parents home Of
protection, safety and plenty without any
just cause or reason.
III Canada,ever should make a change II
is not annexation, but independence that
she wants. Possessing as she does more
territory than the whole OF the United
States, all she needs Is population in
order to become a strong nation. Canada
grows all manner OF fruits, except the
strictly tropical fruits. Her apples,
peaches pears, and grapes COM
mand higher price In her
own and in foreign markets than
foreign fruit. She grows all kinds of
grain and all minerals are to be found
within her borders From the coal fields
Of the Northwest and the silver mines on
the shores Of Lake Superior, to the coal
regions Of Nova Scotia are to be found
gold, silver, iron, lead and tin.
Canada, as yet, Is only In an embryo
state. To be sure she does not produce
cotton, silks, ETC., but the imports are
small when compared to the home supply
and exports Of Canada.
Commercial union with Canada might
be soon, II sought after. Much might
be said in favor of that step. Fruits are
grown on each side Of an imaginary line
and yet duty must be paid before that
imaginary line may be crossed witt

feet either way from this imaginary line

Commercial union would be an adyan
tage TO both countries in that it would d.

consequently with the revenues derived
from that source, but that would bl
much more than returned to the citizen
Of both countries by the greater prie
which could be paid for the goods re

Mankind loves to do honor to its dis
tinguished and historic heroes. But
many true heroes. deserving Of honor
and entitled to praise, live and sometimes
die in community unnoticed and un-
sung. Such hero is Thomas Goss. who
for twelve years has been crossing tender
at the intersection of Church and Fourth
streets, on the p, w. & B. railroad In
this city. For years Tom attended
this crossing, doing what he and two
other men now do and there
has never been an accident of
any consequence while this level
headed fellow was on duty He has
saved thousands Of dollars for the
company by his coolness and good Judge
ment and preserved the lives and prop
erty Of many citizens by his presence of
mind. Persons who have much occasion
to cross the railroad at this point cannot
but have noticed the man.
