There are quite number of cattlemen
who are not partial TO the spaying of
! heifers and say that no good results come
from it,. DR.. J p. 3 Elliott, q veterinary
surgeon of this city, and who has inter
ested himself in this particular matter
has been in correspondence with num-
Der of cattle dealers east on the subject
and they all write him commencing the
spaying Of heifers, saying that it en-
hances their selling value on the beef
market. Greer, Mills & Co. of Chicago
in letter to him say that spayed heifers
win sell much better than open cattle, if
well fattened, but if they are thin
it makes but little difference.
Hunter, Evans s. Co., writing on the
same subject say: ''Our observation is,
that it is profitable to spay heifers, and
not profitable TO spay cows. By spaying
when young, heifers take the shape of
steers and viii make better per centage
of beef. -
Gregory, Cooley & CO.. say that spay-
ing heifers is profitable; makes them fat
ten easier; prevents breeding, and
makes them sell higher than open stock.
The James H. Campbell cattle com
pany write on the same proposition, and
say that young cows and heiters that are
spayed and in good flesh viii sell well,
but with old cows not spayed until they
they are old it makes no difference. Good
spayed heifers in good condition win sell
as well as steers.

The Oelebration.

Tuesdays celebration did very well
under the circumstances. 1t was not
generally known that any sort of a
program had been prepared for the
occasion, and only those persons who
would naturally come to town on that
day were out. A small procession,
including small detachment of the
Uniform Rank X. of p, some of the
members of the G.. A. r. Post; the
Daughters of Rebekah, Fire Depart
ment, and college students, headed by
the band, marched up and down Main
street couple of blocks and then into
the opera house, where extemporane-
Gus speeches were made by Rev. Ayres,
c. P. Townsley, H. J. Sturgis, Rev.
Watson, Prof. Hill of the college and
Rev. Boswo.th. a few patriotic
songs were sung; number of Young
Americans, from 8 to IL yearsold kicked
up all the racket they could, and the
meeting was over.
Farmers were too busy TO lay off

WHILE agriculture is credited with
being the chief industry of Kansas,
figures in the fourth annual report of
the Kansas bureau of labor shows that
our manufacturing establishments are
increasing rapidly: The report says:
SIN our first report, from the returns,
we estimated the capital invested in
this class of industries Including -four
ing mills) at SIS, 200, 900; in our second
report at S22, OOO, 900; in our third re-
Fort at s26, 600, 900; and the returns
actually received this year show an
aggregate of capital of $34 ,OS5, 1853, or
Sc, 5S5, 535 greater than the estimate of
last year, which was based upon the
assumption that the reports received
represented about 80 per cent. of the
whole. Accepting this 80 per cent.
basis as guide for this year. it places
our private manufacturing capital at,
in round numbers, $37 500, 600, against
SIG, OOO, 900 in 1855, a gain of nearly 100
per cent"

A Republican Blunder.

President Harrison will be blamed
more than he will like, for the dissatis-
faction among the settlers and would
be settlers in Oklahoma. Instead of
declaring the territory open from the
date of the proclamation, so that settle
ment could have been made gradually
without fighting or quarreling, he fixed
a certain date for a grand rush, and
permitted all the toughs and thugs to
congregate and ply their disreputable
avocations. Then the officials having
the management of the opening were
permitted to smuggle in their friends
and strikers and lay out towns and
make choice selections before the
grand rush of the multitude. Harrison
will probably not VERY over the matter,
as the disappointment of thousands OF
honest homeseekers is nothing to him
so long as a few of his hench-men have
raked in the choice bits-gathered the
cream of the lane; but the mistake
will aid in patting another nail in the
coffin of the administration which
gained its power through the money of
the preferred few, and which is pledged
to support, in the high, protective tariff,
the theory that this country is for the
monied men and not for the people.
