Galloways in "a Cold Country.

Mr.. Cochrane has at his Mosquito
creek ranch the oldest Galloway herd in
America. In 1884 he brought out thir-
teen heifers direct from Scotland; later
he bought a whole herd from j. D.
McGSegor, of Brandon, and he possesses
several of the finest strains of blood.
He makes point of discouraging undue
interbreeding, bringing in fresh bulls
every two or three years. While he has
300 to /, 400 cattle on his range, he has
found Galloways the most profitable.
They are so hardy they rustic their own
living where others starve, and there is
seldom loss in the breeding season.
Mr.. Cochrane has had 100 per cent. in
crease in the season. Being short in the
leg and the offal less thanin other cattle,
when killed they give a greater percent
age of dressed meat, while the flesh is of
superior quality, and the skin makes a
valuable. robe, being good substitute
for buffalo robe.
The Galloways are highly priced in
Manitoba, where in the severest winter
they speedily convert the straw stacks
an encum brance in that province
into the finest of beef. In Alberta they
are found equal to all emergencies, be-
ing always lively, masterful and good
feeders, and whether on the range or in
the byre they are always kind and gen.

them. Mr.. Cochrane has about 100 of

ALFALFA FOR LIVE STOCK.
Good Results from Feeding 1t to Cattle,
Sheep and Hogs.

Good Results from Feeding 1t to Cattle,
Sheep and Hogs.
The best results are obtained from
feeding cattle on alfalfa, and hogs,
sheep and cattle will fatten on it in
spring and summer, and keep in good
condition in winter On the hay. Alfalfa
does not freeze out as red clover does in
the east, and for this reason it is a most
satisfactory crop in cold climates. Fed
to hogs alfalfa prevents many diseases
which might result from too exclusive
grain diet, and hogs never die of hog
cholera that are fed on alfalfa. Turned
in the field in the summer time they
gorge themselves with the rich, succu
lent grass, and in the winter time they
enjoy the hay and silage made from it.
They look better than those hogs which
are fed corn the year round, and their
pork is certainly sweeter and more sue
culent.
Steers fattened upon alfalfa can be
sold directly to the shippers and butchers
at good prices. Many of them prefer
steers fattened on alfalfa to those fat
tened on corn, and the meat is consid-
cred much sweeter and juicier. When
fed to milk COWS the grass and hay not
only make them sleek and fat, but it
gives larger flow of rich, creamy milk.
By acting on the nutrition organs it
gives tone and strength to the whole sys-
tenn. After having tried chopped feed
timothy and clover, I am Of the opinion
that alfalfa excels them all in increasing
the milk flow. There are many who
differ from this view.
Sheep are likewise benefited by this
crop, and they live luxuriously upon the
long, succulent grass. Probably there
is no cheaper grass to SOW for the sheep,
as it is great grower and luxuriant
producer. 1t gives double quantity for
the time and expense given to it. Be-
sides furnishing good feed for nearly all
of the domesticated animals, it enriches
the soil with its long, intricate roots,
which ramify far down into the soil and
penetrate to the lowest depths of the
subsoil.-E. P. Smith in American Gull

Watterson said he saw that the nomination Of
Mr.. Cievei. nd was inevitable. All his labors in
opposition to Mr.. Cleveland had been done from
the sincere desire to see a winner named, and
he had, up to within q short time ago, been con-
WINGED that it would be madness to urge Mr..
-Cievelsnd's nomination in the face of the fnct
that a yawning grave would be prepared for
him by his enemies in New York. Mr.. Waiter
son said he counted himself one Of the trrest
friends Grover Cleveland ever had, and it had
been to save him from what he thought sure
defeat that he championed the cause of a man
who would not be marked for slaughter in the
empire state. But the last thirty-six hours had
worked a wonderful change. The magic Of the
ex-President's name had even cast it's spell
about the solid phalanx of opposition in New
York, and the leaders there were retreatinG
sullenly. but backing out Of their opposition.
Mr.. Watterson then eulogized Mr.. Whitney,
to whom he credited the wonderful campaign
made by that gentleman in Mr.. Clevcland's in
terest, and he believed that in the end New
York would be brought into line for the nomi-
nee and the solid vote Of the grand old empire
state would be cast for Mr.. Cleveland.
81 propose now and henceforth to work for
Mr.. Cleveland's nomination" said Mr.. Waiter
son.
Mr. Watterson ended his speech BY mag
nifcent tribute to the worth and sterling integ
rity of John G. Carlisle, Kentucky's favorite
son. All this and much more Mr.. Watterson
said, but as the meeting was held behind closed
doors the entire speech was not obtainable.
Ever and anon, when Mr.. Watterson made q
telling point. the hot, sitting room rang with
cheers, which were answered by shouts from
the crowds of Kentuckians who besieged the
headquarters, waiting for what few tickets were
left.
Just as Mr.. Watterson finished his speech the
impatient crowd burst open the doors and
surged around the perspiring orator. 1t was u
dramatic scene, but MIR. Watterson waved his
hands right and left and quickly elbowed his
way out into the open corridors.
"Three cheers for Cleveland and Watterson"
Some one shouted, and they were given with
vim such as only enthusiastic Kentuckians can
give expression to.

after. All wore smiles of contentment and sat

Mr. Watterson declined to serve as a member

his action:,
