The Three Grades Usually Kept by Ameri
can Farmers.
We may class cattle that are usually
kept on the farm into three grades or
kinds: Those for milk, for butter and
for beef. In a great measure they are
distinct, as the animal that eXcels in
beef production is rarely the most
prof able for butter or milk While

any particular line are secured only
with the S &c al purpose animal.
There are plenty of animals that will
average well in milk, butter and beef
production and will excel in none, but
it will be waste of time and money to
get up herd of this kind. For but

her food into butter, it is evident that
she cannot convert it into milk or beef,
and in nearly all cases Il COW that gives
large quantity of milk cannot give
extra rich milk or make profitable
beef gain in flesh.
The first thing to determine is the
special purpose for which the cattle
are to be kept and then select and
breed those that are best adapted for
this purpose. If milk is an item, select
o breed that gives large quantity OF
milk. Often it is possible to keep cows
and sell the milk 20 better advantage
than to manufatture it into butter.
Some families can grow a good quality
of beef to better advantage than either
milk or butter, and then IL beef animal
is one that converts the food supplied
into growth or gain of flesh. In eitEer
case, by the selection of good sire,
breed in the direction wanted and with
sufficient individual merit to transmit
his characteristics to his offspring. In
this way, by carefully selecting the
cows, gradual improvement can be
made in the direction desired. But it
is hard to select and feed for general
purpose animal, as such animals rarely
prove much above the average in any
ole quality.-St. Louis Republic.

The infant daughter of the emperor
and empress was arrayed with surpass-
ing magnificence on the occasion of her
christening. She wore mantle of the
richest purple velvet, profusely trimmed
with ermine, under which was chris
tening robe of white satin and lace, en-
broidered with gold crowns During
the service the princess was placed
upon silver cushion, with d deep sill
yer fringe. The vessels were a superb
ly chased basin and a jug of solid gold
which were manufactured on the occa-
sion of the christening of Emperor
Frederick. The ceremony took place in
the Jasper gallery of the palace, a
splendid saloon, with walls of marble
and jasper, and numerous mirrors in
closed in gold frames. The temporary
altar was covered with purple velvet,
above which was laid a white cloth en-
broidered with gold, and the various
ornaments were all of pure gold. A
picture of Raphael, which usually
hangs in the gallery at Sans Souci had
been brought to hang over the altar.
The empress was dressed in white satin,
with huge sleeves and lace cap, but nc

JAY GOULD.

After all Jay Gould died of con-
sumption. The doctors said he had
neuralgia and Jay offered a million
of dollars to any one who would
cure him of his trouble. 1t turned
out that he did not have neuralgia
at all, but simply consumption.
Don't you make this same mistake.
If you feel that your lungs are weak
or that you are subject to colds and
coughs, or if your throat be sore
and tender, get a bottle of Reds

and take it freely. 1t contains no
poison and it is the only cough

Southern California's glacier has
been located. For many years tradi-
ton has told of such phenomenon of
nature, and recently an expedition was
sent out by the Los Angeles Herald to
investigate the matter. The tradition
was verified, for upon the upper levels
of Grayback mountain, the greatest of
the SanBernardino range, glacier one
mile long, and on the average two hun
dred feet in depth, was found. The
icy mass, according to compute ton
made, moves downward at the rate of
forty-seven feet year.

THE sAIT LAKE Herald SATURDAY. OCTOBER q. 1898.


The Herald thinks it is bad" to use
an expression of our morning contem-
porary's to accuse every member of
Congress of dishonesty for not wanting
to vote as some newspapers dictate.
The Tribune retorts by saying:
ssIt would be if there had been any
thing of that kind said. but our neigh
Dor, with its usual dishonesty, publishes
something that never was before and
then says it is bad"
That is not very clear, but let us see
if it never was before" Here is the
remark Of our contemporary on which
we commented:
The mistake he made was in suppos-
ing any men who wanted to repeal the
Sherman law first and then have an in
ternational law are honest
There are number of members of
Congress who take this position. Our
neighbor wants them to vote different
ly. Because they will not they are dis
honest, according to its logic and code
of morality. So that all it's raving
about The Herald's dishonest talk is
only dishonesty on the part of our
neighbor, which seems to be afflicted
with very strong forgotten.

THE END Is NEAR.

The only plea that the Liberal fac
ton could make, that was likely to aid
the desperate scramble for municipal
offices by its adherents, was for one
more trial. on the ground that a diff
ferent stripe of men would be put up
and the party could make its own re-
forms from within
Well, the cohorts of the faction have
met, and the people can now see what
chances there are for any reforms I'M
der further Liberal administration. It
cannot fairly be said that they have
gone single step higher than the pres
ent grade of officials. In some instances
they have sunk still lower.
Two or three of the nominations
might be commended if they were not
disgraced by affinity with the Liberal
outfit. Others are unfit for the posi-
ton which they desire to assume, and
some are SO totally below acceptance
that even the Liberal organ says they
are positively bad"
When paper that praised the
present Liberal incumbents on their
election, as lily white and beyond
compare for pre-eminent ability and
Incompatible honor admits that some
of the new nominees are positively
bad" the quality of the selections
must be low indeed. But perhaps it
was the best the nearly disbanded fac
.tion could do.
A struggle will be made to get
some respectable names on the general
ticket, but as defeat can be smelled in
the Liberal air, it is not likely that
many really solid and substantial citi-
zens will consent to stand up that they
may be knocked down in such ia
ding cause.
The prospects are exceedingly good
for a clean sweep of the combined Cit
liens and Independents ticket. And
the drums and flies, blue-fire violet
badges, noise, buncombe and balder
dash with which the Michigan mama
ger fondly hopes to win by a scratch.
will all be thrown away except as a
parting salute to the remains of the
moribund Liberal party.

THE SILVER SITUATION.

There seems to be little hope that
anything really satisfactory to the sill
yer cause, as it is fought for in the
west, will come out of the present
struggle in the United States Senate.
Compromises such IS have been pro-
posed are only new makeshifts, and it
was to get rid of the present make
shift that the extra session of Con-
gress was called by the President.
The restoration of silver as money.
to be coined as previous to the pas
sage of the law of 1873, at some ratio
that could be agreed upon by all par
ties, was the aim and desire of the
friends of the white metal The CON
tinuance of the Sherman law purchas-
es for a given time with all the condi-
tons suggested, will not meet the de-
mand nor will it materially improve
the situation. 1t will furnish for a
time the same market for silver which
has existed for three years and under
which silver declined SO rapidly.
The principle of the thing is wrong.
1t is protection, though not in the
form of the tariff Like other oper-
atoms of that system it has failed to
bring the benefits predicted. 1t ought
to be abolished. The purchase law
should be repealed. And yet we have
been in favor of the struggle to hold
on to it, as a security for the attain
ment of something better. that is all.
If it could be made certain that
when that obnoxious provision were
swept away from the statute books
some silver coinage measure, based on
sound financial principles could be as
sured, we do not think any rational
silver man would stand in the way of
repeal. 1t is the fear that when the
end demanded by the repealers. is
reached the silver question viii be
pushed out of sight, in view of pres
sing and momentous questions of a
different character, that makes the
most reasonable of the silver advo-
Gates hesitate to aid in the removal OF
the existing makeshift.
It is clear that if the purchase pro-
vision is repealed, the avenue for the
sale of four and a half million ounces
of silver will be closed. and that much
metal win be thrown, if produced. on
the general market with the probable
ity of still further decline in price
The consequence, unless something un-
expected should arise to cause a de-
mand, would be the closing down OF
more mines and further distress among
the silver mining population. Fol
this, which is a local reason only. il
would seem that the retention of the
law would be of some benefit to the
west.
On general principles. however the
law is but a makeshift and is contrary
