STOCKMEN'S MEETING.
A Final Suggestion Offered by
COlman'S Rural World.

Colman's Rural World sends the follow
ing final suggestion to the BAzoo and it is
given place in its entirety because the
World has worked faithfully in the in
Ierests of the Sedalia meeting and deserves
every consideration at The HANDS of the
Sedalia papers.
The first meeting of the Stockmen of
Missouri will be held at Sedalia next We'd
nesday. January 18Th.
AS many as possibly can, will assemble
at Sicher's Hotel in that city on the even
ing of Tuesday, the day before the meet
ing, to confer together on programme and
arrangements and the order of business.
Sicher's Hotel will be the general rally.
ing point and place of rendezvous, and the
court hnuse IN which the meetings will
take place is but block away.
1t is particularly desirable that all who
are interested in county or district fairs as
directors, officers or managers be in at
tendance at the hotel on Tuesday evening
to make acquaintance and adopt a plan
of operations for the following day.
AS it is possible some attention and con-
sideration may be given to the question of
a state fair for the exhibition of the live
stock aud all other farm products of the
State On a scale Commensurate with the
great interests involved and the impor-
lance OF periodically aggregatipg them
together for the promotion and develope-
ment thereof, it may be we'll that dele
gates think the matter over for and
against and he prepared to discuss it.
The fearfully depressed condition OF
the live stock industry, particularly in the
case of cattle and hogs, must receive at
the hands OF the meeting its most pro-
found consideration. The cause of this
depression will be fully discovered and
discuss d, and it is to be hoped that in
the mass of intelligent judgment there as
sembled full and ample remedies will be
discovered.
The diseases of live stock will be found
deserving of very careful attention, for the
farmers and breeders often find themselves
tormented with these, and in their isolat-
ed condition and in the absence OF any
spaci6c training for the diagnosis of dis
ease are absolutely powerless to help them
selves, hence their stock sicken and die
without remedy. Drs. Paquin and White,
state veterinary surgeons will, with others,
care for this part of the programme.
The dairy industry is one of the most
important to the farmers of the state, not
vidual way as an adjunct to the general
business of farming. And yet, as a special
d. partment of business when thoroughly
understood, carefully fostsred and vigor-
ously prosecuted, it is known to be one of
the most profitable of agricultural indus
tries. Arrangements are made for full
essential TO success and this will be found

The breeding, handling. training, and
selling of farm horses, horses for draft, for
teams, the carriage, the saddle and the
road; which are the most profitable, how to
get out of the ruts of breeding the worthless
scrubs sent to the city markets for sale and
Bile, marketable and always saleable. AT
prices which pay for the raising, will afford
an opportunity for discussion to considera-
bic advantage.
Ii Is very clear to the vas. msiority of
men who have given this matter of breed
ing good horses due consideration, that il
is a more profitable industry than the rails

ln the matter of the wool growing and

room for elaborate and thorough discussion

ted and expensive farms of the interior is

Irasted with that of the immense Hocks of
