1t goes without saying that abortion
among cows is one Of the great evils
with which the dairyman is obliged to
contend. Its causes are sometimes mys-
terious. and it has come to be looked
upon as sort Of calamity which comes
where II is sent, and for which the
owner of tho stock Is In no wise respon-
sible. But this is not always the cor.
rect view to take of this matter. There
are many cases in which the cause, d.
rect or indirect. might he readily found
When the cows are obliged to climb up
steep stairway, or. what is great
deal worse, wade through deep mud to
get into the stable. it is not
at all strange that cases OF ahor-
ton occur. The only wonder is that
they are not far more frequent And
when the cows are kept long time
without drink and are then turned into
a yard to quench their thirst from tub
containing ice cold water, all making a
rush for it at the same time, and the
stronger driving OH and often injuring
the weaker ones, there need be no mys.
terry about any cases OF abortion that
may follow. The evil is sometimes
caused by falling in icy Yards, by being
worried and driven about by the leader
of the herd and by careless feeding.
These are only few Of the various com.
mon means by which abortion is caused.
As cases due to such causes are readily
preventable. it is certainly for the in
terest of-the men who keep cows to see
that none which can be traced to these
means shall occur. With the best Of
care accidents will sometimes appen
and diseases appear, but If proper pro.
ycntive measures were used the number
o. cases of this particular trouble would
be very greatly diminished American

sUGAR-GRowING IN FLORIDA.

Through the Mckinley bill a bounty
of two per cent. is offered on sugar
growing, and the early winter visitors
to Florida report in consequence a re-
markable activity in that industry.
Only crude methods and rude imple-
ments have been used in the past, but
now the steamers from New York are
loaded on every trip with sugar and
molasses making machinery and every
train on the South Florida Railroad
pulls fat cars carrying vacuum pans
bound for st. Cloud or some other place
along the line.
The reclaimed swamp land of the
Southern counties will produce. it is now
claimed by experts, from 1900 to 1000
pounds of sugar per acre, and cane has
become one of the standard crops of the
State, crop growing in importance
constantly. The sugar industry is de
veloping steadily and rapidly. but this is
a fact il is of no use TO mention TO those
who can see no good in anything done by
Republicans.

LET EVERY CITIZEN HELP.

The new terminal facilities of the city
of Providence will, when completed,
make it one of the most easily accessi-
BILE and convenient cities in the country
for railroad traffic. To be sure Rhode
Island cannot have great local roads,
but the lines between New York and
Boston are important, and the amount
of business handled by the roads for this
city and State is very large. These inn
provemepts are steps toward rapid
growth of the city, and will add to its
importance as manufacturing and
business center. The City Government
is doing its part to make the city what
it should be, and if the business men
and private citizens do their part, as
they have shown desire TO do, the city
will grow with unparalleled rapidity in
the next ten years, and the City Audi
tors recent statement that as soon as
the city fills up the "vacant spaces" the
amount of revenue in proportion to ex-
penditures will become so great that all
the city's Indebtedness will be wiped
out, will be fully realized.
A city cannot advance without specific
effort any more than any private enter
prise, and it requires the combined eff
forts of all citizens to reach the goal of
success.
1t has been said every new movement
has been killed by opposition in Provi-
dence. Certainly that is not true, but
perhaps there is a disposition among
some to oppose when they should CO.
operate. Perhaps some of our people do
not feel strongly enough the oneness of
interest which all citizens have in the
welfare and advancement of the city.
Pride in what has been is good, but hope
for and cooperation to obtain future
success is better.
Many citizens limit their interest i'm
public affairs to the time of an election
when unbiased consideration can hardly
be had. Petitions and remonstrances To
the city council are often merely for
personal ends and too few look consist
emily and always for the general good.
The methods of the New England town
meeting are preserved only in the Dexter
Donation meeting. The city is too big
for town meetings, but there is a spirit
of public interest which is akin to the
town meeting methods.
What is good for the whole city is
good for all the people in it eventually.
There must always be differences of
opinion on public measures, but that
city will grow and prosper most largely
and in the most live and progressive di-
rections where those differences are
most honest and candid, and are brought
forward by zeal for the general interest
and not 10y an itch for individual gain.
