The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1894-12-28

The Transmississippi congress did a
good thing when it adopted a resolu-
ton in favor of a grant of the arid
lands to the several states in which
they are situated. 1t is along that
line that the true solution of the irri-
Cation problem lies. To each state
should be left the regulation of the
distribution of water, but that would
not be done if the reclamation of the
land should be intrusted to the ma
tional government. Congress would
insist upon enacting laws governing
the distribution of waterif it incurred
the expense of building reservoirs
and digging bitches. Congress would
be incapable of legislating intelligent
" concerning irrigation, for a great
majority of its members never would
have the requisite information con-
corning irrigation methods and diff
cultiss .-Denver Republican.

Not a Bankers Government.

Mr.. Cleveland has used his facilitie.
for studying the temper of the Ameri
can people to little advantage if he be-
lieves they will consent that the bank
ing interests shall be put in charge o.
the country's welfare. The Baltimore
plan is a dangerous proposition from
whatever standpoint it is considered,
With the sole power to create and de.
stroy money the banks would very
soon virtually be the government.
The banks are institutions organized
for private gain. In their place they
are not only a great convenience but
they are a necessity.
This does not argue, however, that
the interests of the general public and
the very government itself should be
delegated to them. Should they be
given authority to expand and con-
tract the currency of the country at
will the only interest they would
naturally look to would be that of the
earning power of money in the money
market. The peoples interest lies in
the earning power of commodities
which T taken in exchange for
money.
The tendency of recent events has
been to centralize power in the money
dealers. but the time is not yet ripe
for the delivery of our freedom to n
set of money makers, and through
them to Wall street and still beyond
that to the gold monopolists OF Eng
land. That is what the adoption of
the Baltimore plan would amount to-.
Mr.. Cleveland would not only give
the banks the power contemplated by
the national bankers convention, but
he would take away the responsibility
OF the general government altogether.
In short. he would put the money
world against all other interests and
let each side take care of itself, with
the weapons all on one side. He
would make the banks mutually pro-
t~ective, so far as the currency of each
was concerned, but in reality his plan
would leave the depositor as the only
real %guarantor of the banks solvency.
The depositor is compelled to take
enough chances now He will not 90
into this new partnership if he can
help himself.
In truth, there is no feature of the
plan that will commend it to the ia
vorable consideration of any other
class than those engaged in money
dealing.-kansas City journal.

Ame lea in China,

England takes care of her subjects,
no matter how humble, no matter
where they may be. And the man
who seeks the protection of the Eng
fish flag, whether citizen or alien,
finds security under its folds so long
as he shows himself worthy of such
succOr. With a blush of shame we
must confess that the United States
has never exercised her power 10 de-
fend the rights of her citizens in other
lands, and as for the people of other
countries who have sought protection
under the American flag, they have, as
a r:lle, relied upon a weak if not a
broken reed. We are very plucky at
home, but abroad we lack spirit.
Mr.. Julian Ralph, writing to Har-
per's Weekly from Shanghai, repeats
the story of two Japanese students
who, bounded down by the Chinese,
were deluded into seeking protection
under the flag Of an American consul
general, Mr.. Jernigan. at Shanghai.
TO the credit of u consul let it be
said, he tried to save these poor
youths. He te~legraphed u minister
at Pekin, and would have appealed to
Mr.. Gresham had diplomatic etiquette
permitted it. But Washington heard
OF it, and Gresham ~telegraphed the
consul-general to surrender at once
the young men who had sought the
protection of u flag.
The Japanese students we're sur
rendered and subjected for three days
to the most horrible fortunes. till
death put an end to their sufferings.
England would have sen her whole
fleet to Chinese waters rather than
surrender these men to the savage
and worse than brutal enemy. Once
the American was q power in the
Orient. Now he is being despised.
Mr.. Cleveland has much to answer
for, but not the least crime of his
%cowardly administration is his be-
coming a party TO the murder of these
two young men.-New York Adver-

A Boston paper characterizes as
''foolish' the charge that Secretary
Carlisle is using the patronage of his
department with a view to advancing
his presidential chances. The Boston
paper is right. Mr.. Carlisle is well
aware that no Democrat can be elected
to the presidency next time. and if
such a thing were possible he knows
that his failure as the head of the
treasury department would put him
out of the race.

DANGER IN CLEAR CORN MEAL.

An Ohio dairyman tells his ex
perience in American Farmer as fol-
lows: DO all farmers know that
feeding clear corn meal to dairy
cows in winter is dangerous
practice? l knew it fifty years ago,
because my father told me so, but l
did not know for certain that | did
know it, until l spoiled seven dit
ferent COWS trying to find out the
truth 1t is such a heating food,
that COWS about to come in fresh
milk should never be fed clear corn
meal. 1t will cause garget in the
old cows udder, and small kernels
in the teats, and you always have a
deuce of time getting them all
right after calving, and generally
lose one teat the first year, another
the next season, and there is moth
ing left to do with such an animal
but make beef of it. Since | came to
nv senses on this important subject
| haveused over a hundred different
cows in my dairy business, and have
never had a single case of garget
since l quit feeding clear corn meal
to COWS. | sometimes feed a one
fourth ration of meal with a three
fourths ration of bran or oats safely,
but do hope other farmers are not
50 stubborn as l am naturally, and
will not lose so much money getting
this informa ton rubbed into them"

HANGING JERSEYS.

One great fault in the manage
rnent of Jerseys resulted from a be-
lief in the claims that have been
made that they were tender and deli
cate and needed to be kept more
closely stabbed than other breeds.
1t Is true that the model dairy cow
has not the lung capacity Of the
model beef COW but a wrong infer
ence has been drawn from this fact
II is all the more important that
she should have pure air and exercise
and enough of it. But instead of
supplying these the first object has
been to keep the air warm enough
for the external comfort of the ami
mails, while the ventilating systems
which are supposed to supply pure
air to the lungs are run by guess or
bv theory and too often fail of doing
what is expected OF them. We have
not vet found a way to secure the
most bodily comfort in all kinds OF
weather and at the same time make
sure that the animal is breathing
pure air. and until some new discov-
cry is made by which ventilation can
be made to work as well in practice
as in theory, it viii be better to sac
rifice a little bodily comfort in ex-
IRENE weather, even If the present
profit be little less, than to weak,

a the same time foul and liable tC

WORKING HORSES IN WINTER.

1t is common mistake to discon-
tinue grain feeding to horses in win
ter because they have then little or
nothing to do. Both the cessation
from work and the withdrawal of
nutrition are injurious. Horses
ought to have at least enough exer-
else each day to keep their muscles
in good condition, and it will be all
the better if this exercise means
steady pull on the collar for a short
time each day. There is a constant
wasting of the under surface of the
'callous' on the skin of the shoulder,
and If 1t IS not replaced by use so as
to cause new cuticle to form, the
callous will be sloughed off and the
skin will then chafe easily. There IS
really no reason why farm work
horses should not do good DAYS
work SIX days in the week through
the year. The race horse, which de-
ponds largely on his nerve for ex-
traOrdInary teats, needs more reIaxa-
ton. the steady farm work which
continues on most farms from April
until November can without injury
and with real benefit TO the animal
be extended through to April again.
If only enough work is given to keep
the muscles firm, less grain will be
needed than when the work CON
tinues all dav.

GooD BUTTER MEANS HARD WORK.

The Journal of Agriculture gives a
comprehensive view of the business
in the following: How little
thought the average consumer
wastes on the many points required
to be complied with in order to
make good butter. BY good
authority they have been classed in
to twelve points as follows: Selec-
ton OF COWS, proper feeding, pure
water, good care and shelter, clean
Illness in milking, proper setting OF
the milk or separating the cream,
mixing and proper ripenlng or
termenting of the cream, suitable
churn and churning at right tenn

etc. Miss either ofthOse to any extent

guard against the mauy changes OF
the wea Their, or fails 10 do so, has to
stand the consequences, either IN loss

TO in all particulars, will only produce
from 3 to 4 pounds OF butter per

furnishing cloth, salt, tub and
freight or express, to say nothing
about the cost of teed consumed,
that seems to be worth almost that
amount itself. The consumer never
thinks of all this, but usually says
butter is too high. How very dit
ferent it is with the oleO manufacture
