SHORT STOPS.
what the People are Saying.

What the People are Saying
The people are not surprised al the bold
and high handed action of Mayor Ca'Ia-
CHAN and his city council.
The passing of a series of amendments
to the city charter, and then appr0prl3I-
ing 5000 to pay expenses to LOBBY the
thing through the legislature, IS pro-
ceediHg without line Of authority III the
city charter.
The passing of these proposed amend
mentS by a vote of the city cOuncll IS d
ridiculous assumption of authority on the
part of the city council.
The report is universally expressed that
net one single voice was raised in the
council against this proceeding. The
great body of the intelligent taXpaying
voters of our city have no one to repre-
sent them.
The people are discussing the proposed
restore the mayor the appointing power
taken from him in the last amendments
made to the charter.
Thus it is proposed to take from the
people the election of the street commits
SiOner, engineer, assessor and marshal.
The next important change is in the
amendment authorizing the making of
loans. This needs careful investigation.
The authority to issue "refundiug
bonds" is provided for in Sec. As, and de-
cIaring ''refunding bonds" heretofore is
sued, to be valid
This section As convictS Mayor Cal
laghan of having issued $4,000 of refund
ing bonds without a shadow of authority.
No wonder all orr last bond issue is held
to be of doubtful legality.
Section AZ changes the sinking fund
from 10 cents 10 2 cents, thus &C
knOwledging that John Bolton was right.
The 10000 ten per cent sinking fund
bonds are Shaky.
The raising Of the salary of the mayor
TO 5000. may look cheeky, but it was
done to get in the others. The payment
of good salaries is not ObjeCtiOna bic. The
mayor should receive good salary, and
the Office filled by tirSt-clasS man.
Where, oh, where, was Beckmann and
PerSch when the gallant volunteer fire
department were swept away by the wave
of the Kings hand?
The adjustment of our gallant vOlun-
teer fire department, which has grown
with our growth AS city seems to have
little excuse or argument in its behalf
1t will sound more city like.
1t will restore large number of able
bodied intelligent citizens to jury duty.
1t will do away with holding firemen

Washington's birthday and the Fourth
Of July will miss them.
A paid department will cost good deal
more money, but will Oe hundred times

The fire department which has been
abolished, was part paid, and cost an
nually Sl03SS; it was considered the most
efficient in the state. The volunteer COM
panieS were the pride Of our city, COM
posed of the flower of it's manhood. who
gave their service freely to the public, re-
spending at all hours of the day or night

a department at this time. and TO subSti-
tute more expensive one will only en-
phasiZe the growing feeling revolt against
the present city administration.

II there is one thing that makes Beck
er county, Minnesota, celebrated, it is
because Hon. Thomas Fl. Garfield has
demonstrated that OF his 5000 acre
farm in that county it is possible, by
judicious breeding upon good founda-
tion, to produce a herd of cattle that is
admitted by no less judge than I'll. f.
Brown, of Minneapolis, to be the best
herd of Shorthorn cattle in the state.
MIR. Cantield has been breeding up his
herd for ten years; the best bulls to be
had have been none too good to
head his herd. The seventh Duke
of Hilhurst and Oxford Geneva
have proynd wonderful sires; their gets
are models Of beef form, and many in
divlduals have been noted both at the
pail and churn. But, perhaps, much is
also due to the rich pastures found in
this county. Mr.. Garfield, who re-
turned from the East just in time to
show us around the farm, had not seen
his stock or grain for two months, so
that our host shared with US the delighC
in seeing the magnificent looking crops
that were fast ripening for the harvest.
Once behind the bars and into the pas
lures, his sharp incisiye Come Boss!
Come Boss! shouted forth into the
still morning air, soon brought
down upon us the tramping

see their master as he was to see them
We were now among the yearling heif-
ers, and they followed up and crowded
our spring wagon, looking eagerly into
our faces and expecting-s salt-but it
gave us a splendid chance to see their

legs, their shapely heads and bright
eyes. all denoting vigor. health and,
best of all. the ability to turn good grass
and hay into firSt-claSS beef. The cat

full of grain, so Mr.. Garfield tells u.s.
but their condition showed that they
had never suffered for the want of nu-
tritious fodder.

Porcine Suggestions by the Texas

There is no valid reason why farmer
nowadays should not have hogs that are
of a good quality as to form and blood.
Assuming that he has, he will generally
do best to select his sows from his own
lot of young things. The male must
necessarily he secured elsewhere, for
few farmers keep two families of the
same breed. No farmer can afford to
in-breed his swine. He who would in
crease his number of brood sowS. or re-
place animals discarded, should have
this in mind from the time the pigs are
farrowed on up to the time the final sep
aration is made; 1t is not a work that
can be or should be done on the spur
OF the moment. So manv points are to
be considered in the makeup of a good
brood SOW that it is not possible to bring
them all under consideration in few
moments. A man may take in the form
at glance. but the disposition and in
born characteristics he cannot. These
latter as important as the former. To
know the disposition and probable good
qualities of young SOW, it is necessary
to see her day after day. and note her
actions, also to know something of the
good qualities of her dam. whether she
was careful mother and good suck

How can farmer without dairy
breed March pigs and make them weigh
275 pounds by November? asks CORE
spondent of Rural New Yorker. By
having his SOW in good condition when
she farrows; she should be an excel
lent feeder and sucker. Feed her lib

the above ration twice each day, morn
ing and evening, and at noon give
liberal feed of well-soaked corn. Let
the trough be low, so that the animal
will learn the way to the table. Give
her also some grass, or, better, clover.
Wean the pigs when ten to twelve
weeks old. Continue the same treat
ment for pigs, and. my word for it, if
the breed is good one, pigs dropped
