Grand Breeds of the State-Unsur-
passed Resources.
Many remarkably good horses are be-
ing handled and bred in Minnesota.
The hOrSemen of the Northwest know
they have the m1terial here for build
ing up stock OF strong lung powers,
good action and rapid speed. Their
strains of stock cannot, as a rule, be
surpassed; and, where they go out on
circuits, they take the advantage of the
Southern district in handling the trOt-
ting stock in the winter. In the lines
of draught hOrSeS-Clydesdales, Nor
man-Percherons, English Shires,
French draught and Belgians-there
are no finer specimens than
those raised in this state. To under
take to name the breeders would fill a
paper. Those interested will find them
in the herd books. Thoroughbred run
ners are included in the list of classes,
together with fine rOadSters, Cleveland
Bays, French coach horses, carriage
teams and saddlers, and of these last
mentioned any one in search OF really
desirable ANIMALS can find plenty of
them in these Northwestern cities. One
hundred and sixty-fOur valuable premi-
ums were awarded to horses shown at
the state fair, aside from the racing
purses, The Minnesota Agricultural
society distributed ST., 900 in premiums
in 1899.

LIVE STOCK MARKETS.
The Union and Twin Ciny Yards
and Their st. PanI Relation.

One of the valuable achievements for
Minnesota, and one that especially
benefits the farmers as we'll as this city,
was the establishment III 1856 of the st.
Paul Union stockyardS at South St.Paul,
which were opened in September. 1887.
The packing houses, dressed beef eS-
Establishments, cattle and sheep-feeding
barns, distilling business and factories
of various kinds, were all on such an
extensive and far-reaching scale that
they promptly attracted experienced
men in the live stock business, end an
active market was soon established.
The city of South st. Paul grew as by
magic. and before 1899 had passed into
history 5000 people were subsisting on
the new st. Paul industry. That Is to
say, the employees of the various eStab-
lishments had maintenance for them
selves and their families. Many of
them live in st. Paul, although the es-
Establishments are three to five miles
south OF the south line of the parent
municipality. Cheap rapid transit
makes their travel easy.
During the first three years the bust
ness of the st. Paul Union stockyardS
grew more rapidly than did the business
of the Kansas City stockyardS during
the first ten years of their existence.
The founder of the South st. Paul en-
terprise, A. 3. Suckney, of this city.
has gone on record with very valuable
information concerning live stock mat
tiers. The chamber or commerce has
given il considerable publicity, but the
official record of the business transacted
at South st. Paul last year shows that
live stock to :he value of Sc, AS. 900 was
handled there during the twelve months.
The Twin City StOckyards.
A more recent and very enterprising
J establishment is located in this county,
! and was opened two years ago. Its
official records for last year showed a
total handling of live stock TO the value
of S2,7I2.57S. In addition to the two
! amounts above mentioned. live stock
was received at the Minnesota Trans
| fer valued at $2277 Alb, making an ag-
! gregate for the three places of Sll, Az
| 0SI. A very large proportion of this
! live stock went directly into the indus
/ trial operations of Minnesota, through
! the Strengthening and packing channels.
! When the records are completed for
| 1891 they will show far greater total
| than the sum given above. The
] business is not only of present
Importance as leader among
the industrial factors nf the Northwest,
but it is continually on the increase.
At the immense cattle barns at South
St. Paul 10000 head Of cattle are fat
! tened annually. Many OF these fat cattle
! have been shipped TO Eastern markets
| during the past two years. Another
| item from the same place shows that
! more than 10000 head OF thin steers
were sold at the union stOckyards last
year for shipment to southern Iowa and
Missouri, where they were fattened'

Minnesota Wool Growers.

Sheep thrive splendidly in Mime
sofa, and are remarkably free from
disease. Fifty thousand head were fat
tened at South st. Paul last winter
without loss. The experiences there
during the four years of extensive sheep
feeding have been firSt-rate. The sheep
fattened SO we'll that most of them found
quick sale in the Eastern market for
choice mutton. Experiments in this
line at the New Brighton stOckyardS, and
at other places in this vicinity, have
been equally satisfactory. The state
agricultural society distributed close to
one hundred prizes on SOuthdownS,
HampShire-DOwns, Long Woods, Ok
f0rd-DOwnS, ShrOpshireDOwnS and on
choice grades and cross breeds. The
nutritious grasses and pure water, so
favorable to horses and cattle, are
equally effective in keeping up the STAN
ina of the wool growers of Minnesota.

With reference TO range cattle, MOrti-
mer Whitehead, of Washington, d. c.,
all authority who gave special attention
to the subject i'll 1890, says: Montana
cattle have an excellent reputation in
Eastern markets. But little attention,
comparatively, is given to regular farm
ing, and the ranges as a rule are not
fenced, the stock being held within the
lines of a given location by system of
line riding Montana
range horsemen are breeding heavy
draught animals and securing a
class of stock that is good
for all purposes" Regarding Florida
cattle, he says: The cattle of Florida
are of Spanish origin and very small, a
mature bullock dressed weighing from
$50 to 800 pounds net. The uniform
price of cattle is SO per head delivered
at the shipping point and the selling
price of herds upon ranges is S. per
head. If 500 calves are brand
ed the herd is recGoned at $500 head.
No herding of cattle is done, nor are
they kept within enclosures, but are al
lowed to roam at will, the brand determ-
ming the ownership. Wild animals and
alligators destroy many of the calves.
All efforts to improve the herds
Of Florida by the Introduction of supe-
rior breeds of cattle have practically
failed. owing to climatic causes"

Secured by the Introduction of
High Grades in the State.
A grand surprise followed the intro
duction of high class cattle for breeding
purposes in Minnesota during the last
half of the seventies" About 1876 or
81 Col. William S. King. of Minneapo-
lis, attracted general attention to this
subject by the remarkable success of
his Lyndale herd Of Shorthorn cattle,
which he had acquired at great ex-
pense. Others, who had made some
efforts in that direction, were
pleased with the results far be-
yond their expectations, but the
Lyndale herd was so extensive, so valu-
able, and attracted so much attention
amcng live stock raisers everywhere
that Col. Kings success In improving
the quality of Minnesota stock was a
remarkable factor in bringing about a
general improvement throughout the
state. His short horn stock was OF the
leading families of that class. Their
pedigrees were directly traceabe to the
famous English breeds, and the animals,
both young and of mature ages, sold at
what would now seem to be extrava-
CANT fures. They caused a genu-

POULTRY PAYS.
Minnesota Equals Any State for
Its Variety of Hens.

Minnesota is we'll adapted, as regards
soil. climate, ETC., to poultry culture in
all its phases. Her climate effects poul-
try as it does other live stock, and fowls
bred within her borders seem to possess
a vigor and hardness foreign to the
same varieties bred in states with what
may be called mllder climates. Poultry
is divided into two classes-the common
or barn yard fowl and the thoroughbred
fowl. The common fowl is bred with
out any definite object in view as re-
CARDS form, color or meritoriOuS quail
tiles, while the thoroughbred is
the result of careful and systematic
effort to develop in them uniformity of
shape, color and character. This shape,
color and character, according to the
direction it takes, divides them into
varieties, each variety having a form,
color and character peculiar to itself.
There are over sixty varieties of thor
oughbred fowls, each possessing merit,
and each we'll deserving of culture. For
one to attempt to say which is the best

States Adopt England's Policy.
PARIS. Dec. 27.-M. Tirard. formerly
French Minister of Finance in an interview
on the subject of the negotiations for q
commercial treaty between France and
the United States. said: Treaties of this
kind are useful as modus vivendi between
countries where tariffs are SO high that
they paralyze trade. A treaty with the
United States will be extremely opportune
and will 60 long way TO secure our en-
thusiastic participation In the Columbian
exposition. The Mckinley law has harmed
our trade so much that would favor going
to the United States Tor staples only when
it is impossible to obtain what we need
elsewhere. The Mckinley administrative
bill is a barbarous piece of legislation and
has caused great Ill feeling in France.
The whole Mckinley law is due TO an
error of Judgment The Americans
argued that as their exports are natural
products other nations must have, they
would he sure to find buyers, and 50
they could shut their ports to foreign
manufacturers. This reasoning 10
fallaclous. The population of the
United States might easily increase to
four times the present figure in twenty
years. In that case America would become
a still greater export country. Look how
England has developed since she adopted
free trade. If the United States was to
adopt like policy America would soon
govern the markets of the whole world.
BY following the policy of prohibitory pro-
tecti6n she restricts the future to the
limits of home consumption. In France,
where 1t is impossible to develop resources
any further, there may be some excuse. for
protection, but not so in America, where
the possibilities of development are un-
bounded"

SAVED BY A GuARD-RAlL.
Carload of Passengers Narrowly Escape Be-

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-An accident, with
probable loss of life. was narrowly averted
to-day, on the Sixth-avenue elevated road,
by the high wooden guard-rail that runs
alongside the tracks. One of the engines
jumped the track at Park place, causing q
delay of one hour. and a blockade that ex-
tended to Worth street. Finally train
approached the blocked trains. There was
no perceptible lessening of speed. The en-
gineer seemed oblivious of the blockad
before him until within seventy-fve feet of
the rear platform of the last car of the
train in 'front.' Then he put on the brakes.
Ii was too late. The engine crashed into

from their seats. The rear car was de-

have toppled over into the street below.
No one was hurt There appears TO be no
good reason for the accident, unless the
