made up from the bluegrass pastures
of Ohio and Kentucky, or the more
remote prairies of Illinois, and driven
by slow and easy marches over the
country roads TO Albany, New York,
Philadelphia and other Eastern mar
ketS, generally arriving at their des-
tination in better condition than
when they started. But the wide
awake Western men were not slow to
perceive the advantages Of slaughter
ing and packing beef near the feed
ing grounds. Early in the half-cen-
tury the business was established in
Chicago, which has since grown to
immense proportions. a Chicago
paper OF 1S49 announced that Chi
cago is at present the first point in
the United States in slaughter
ing and putting up beef. There
are some two or three estab-
ishments engaged in this bust
ness here, who have no rivals at any
other place in the United States"
We are further informed in the same
article that one Of the largest of
these packing houses had ALREADY
slaughtered 1000 head the present
season, and will still add 1000 more.

THE CATTLE INDUSTRY.
Its Wonderful Growth and Development
in the United States.

Its Wonderful Growth and Development
in the United States.
During the last fifty years the cat
tie industry of the United States has
experienced a growth and develop
ment as wonderful as that Of any
other branch of American enterprise.
Fifty years ago the great plains and
parks of the West, which now con-
tribute SO largely to the beef supply,
were grazed only by herds Of wild
bison. Cattle raising for beef, or the
dairy, was confined to the seaboard
and Middle States. In fact, for
many of the earlier years Of the
period Ohio was the leading State in
this business. Nearly all the cattle
OF those years, says writer in the
American Agriculturist, were "na-
tives" of no particular breed. True,
a few enterprising gentlemen had i'm
ported and bred from fine improved
stock, but such breeding was gener-
amusement for the rich, rather than
a steady and profitable business for
the farmer. OF the pure-bred cattle
OF that day the Shorthorn was the
leading breed in point of numbers
and popularity as it has continued to
be ever since. The Devons had been
introduced still earlier and had
many admirers; a few Here
fords had been quite recently
imported by w. II. II. Sotham and
Erastus Corning, and limited num-
Der Of Dutch cattle were owned and
bred by l.. G. Morris, near New York
City. Ayrshires were imported in
1881, and, during the subsequent ten
years, had become deservedly popular

An Amusing ISIunder.

Miss Cooper, daughter Of the nov
elist, James Fenimore Cooper, states
that, when in Paris, she saw French
translation of her fathers tale, "The
Spy" in which there were several mis-
takes, but one Of them was such that
it was almost incredible that any one
could possibly have been guilty of it.
The residence of Mr.. Wharton, one
of the characters who figure in the
story, is spoken of by the author as
1.-The Locusts." Now. the translator
had evidently been ignorant of the
circumstance of there being any
species of trees bearing this name.
Having therefore looked out the word
in his dictionary, and finding the
definition to be given as Les Sau-
terelles," grasShoppers, thus he rem
dered it in the text. Presently, how
ever. he came across a paragraph in
the novel in which it was stated that
visitor to the house of Mr.. Wharton
had tied his horse to a locust. Then
it might naturally be supposed that
the translator would at once have
discovered his error Not bit Of it,
His reasoning would appear to have
been somewhat on parity with that
of a celebrated countryman of his,
when he declared that eff the facts
do not agree with the theory, so much
the worse for the facts" Neverthe-
less, the writer seems to have been
conscious that some explanation was
due of SO extraordinary statement
as that a foreman had secured his
steed to a grasshopper. So he went
on to gravely inform his readers that
in America these insects grow to an
enormous size, and that in this case
one of these-dead and stuffed-had
been stationed at the door Of the
mansion for the convenience of Wis
itors on horseback. American Anal

so far as they were known. Individ-
ual specimens of Jersey, Galloway,
and possibly some other British
breeds were found in the Eastern
States. But all these detracted but
little from the growing interest in
the Shorthorns. This interest had
been awakened by the Kentucky inn
portations of 1917: at later date,
Hon. George Vail, of Troy, New
York had brought over some fine
shorthorns from the historic herd of
Thomas Bates of Kirkleavingt0n.
But the largest importations, and
most important in their influences on
the cattle industry, were those of the
Scioto Valley Ohio Importing Com
pany. In 1884 this enterprising as
ISOLATION had brought over nineteen
pure bred ShOrthorns selected from
the best herds in England. During
the next two years further importa-
tions were made, the cattle landing
in New York, going thence by Erie
Canal to Buffalo, and by lake to
Cleveland. In 1886 nearly the entire
herd was sold at auction, the remain
der being sold the next April. The
flfty-eight head, constituting the en-
tire herd, brought S50,74 an aver
age of 1914 per head. This was
Justly regarded as an enormous price,
for that day. Yet in less than forty
years-at the famous sale of the New
York Mills herd, Sept. 10, 1873,
twelve Shorthorn cows and heifers
sold for $3.50, $50, an average price of
S19,937 per head. But the importa-
tions and sales of the Ohio Company,
apd of the spirited individual i'm
porters stimulated the taste for pure
bred stock, and gave impulse to the
movement which made the high
prices of the later sale possible.
Fifty years ago cattle were driven
to market on foot. Great droves were

browbeaten, bastinadoed and starved
at his will. The number of human
heads he may literally cut off in the
course of every twenty-four hours is
theoretically unlimited, and in prac-
tice he has availed himself Of the i'm

such an extent that the atrocities Of

of the Russian Gar, Ivan the Terri

The letter from Mr.. T. G. Oltorf, Of
Marlin, printed in Sundays GAZETTE
furnished additional evidence Of the
willful mendacity of the Hogg cam
paigners. The Graham.L Leader declared
that citizen Of It's town had said he
heard George Clark say the negroes
should insist for equal rights in
churches, hotels and elsewhere. The
citizen, when interviewed by a Clark
man, said it was "a George Clark, and
he knew Of none other than George
Clark, of Waco. 1t seemed bad enough
at that state for very little effort
would have led the Leader and its in
lormant TO the truth, But now comes
Mr. oltorf's letter showing that it was
not even "a" George Clark, but Will
lam Tecumseh Clark, a carpet Dagger
OF more than ordinary notoriety.
This stamps the action Of
the Leader and its informant
with infamy, for they used name
which, taken altogether, wasno at all
similar, for blackening the political
character OF man who has been at
all times and in all places a thorough
bred gentleman aud Democrat.
Not only did George Clark not make
such a remark as that attributed 70
him by the Graham prevaricator, but,
as stated by Mr.. Oltori, he was, at the
time the remark was alleged to have
been made, fighting just as he is fight
ing now, for the triumph Of true Demo-
cratic principles and the supremacy Of
the majority Of the people,
But the Jossers must have mendacity
upon which to base their campaign,
else it will have no base at all.

GREEKS AND TURKS.


CRETE, Oct. l9.-Since the revolt of
October Of the inhabitants Of the will
age OF Askiio in the province OF
Sphakia against the Turkish troops
stationed there serious riots have oc-
Cured in other parts OF the province
aud elsewhere on the island. The
trouble grew out Of the arrogance OF
the Turkish troops and Turkish Off
cials. II is alleged here that during
these fights four Christians were killed.
The Turkish lost fourteen soldiers,
killed; twenty wounded. Finally the
bishop Sphakla secured from Chevket
Pasha, governor Of Crete, a promise
that Cretans who took part in the dis
turbance would not be molested If they
created no further disorders. A re-
port is in circulation that eight of the
Cretans who took a prominent part in
the rioting have been seized as con-
spirators by the authorities and trans
ported TO Tripoli.
The Cretans are indignant at this
breach Of faith and band composed Of
1000 armed men is preparing TO de-
mand the release of their fellow coun-
trymen. A serious fight is imminent
unless a settlement is soon reached.
