ing what is being done on the more expen-
sive land of the old country, and the posi-
bilities here on these cheaper lands, insist
ing upon a fixed standard for the breeder to
work towards. The feeding of mutton

early lambs, whatever is done, do it we'll

the good feeders, those " no have something

as near cash as anything known, on any

Good feeding and good care are the es-

when costumers are anxious to buy. If it
pays to feed at all it pays to feed well.
Well fed ripe beef or mutton will always
command the highest price.

AS the name of ex-President Grover
Cleveland will be prominent in the con-
vention, we give here very brief sketch
of his life:
Grover Cleveland was born in Caldwell,
Essex County, N. j., March IS, 1887, of
English decent on paternal side and of
Irish origin on maternal side. His father
was Presbyterian minister. His mothers
name Miss Annie O'Neill, of Baltimore.
His family moved early to Syracuse,
N. Y, where, at the age of seventeen
years, the young man became an assistant
teacher in an institution for the blind.
Later they moved to Buffalo.
He was known as Stephen g. Cleveland
till made sheriff OF Erie County, when he
dropped his fathers name and became
Grover. Admitted to the bar in 1853, and
practiced with success. Made sheriff in
1870, mayor in 1881, and became known as
the "Veto Mayor" While sheriff, it is
said, he hanged a man with his own hand
On cry of Reform " he was chosen gov
ernor by nearly 200, 600 majority, the larg-
est ever given for State ticket. Re
elected with David B. Hill as lieutenant
governor, who led the ticket.
Chosen president in 1884, when rabid
speech on Rum, Romanism and Rebel
lion " defeated Blaine. On June 2, 1886,
married Miss Frances Folsom, the
daughter of his old law partner. She is
rich and has one child. Only marriage of
