Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1894-03-08

Washington, March 1.-The senate
held an uneyentful session but in the
house the long struggle over the Bland
bill for the coinage Of the silver
sedgniorage AMI silver bullion in the
treasury was ended by the passage of
the bill by a vote of 1G7 to 100.
Special order to bring the bill to a
vote was adopted by a bare quorum
after the house convened.
This broke the opposition Of the fill
busterers and they were powerless to
do anything further.
The bill as passed Is in the nature
of a substitute for the original text
Of the measure. The changes do not
affect the material features of the bill,
which provide for the coinage of the
silver seiniorage in the treasury, the
issue of silver certificates thereon, if
need be, in the discretion Of the secre-
tary in advance OF coinage and there
after the coinage of the remainder Of
the bullion as fast as practicable and
the issue of silver certificates thereon
10 take the place of treasury notes
issued under the sherman at which
are to be cancelled as rapidly rs the
coinage takes place. The measure now
goes to the senate.

was giving good returns, so | fed her well.
l could produce butter from that COW at 8
3-4 cents per pound. A COW standing right
beside her that was giving about the same
amount of milk cost me 10 cents per pound.
One was eating her feed with profit to me /;
the other was not. There is much differ
ence in the ability of animals to take feed
and make good use of it in that way. Hav-
ing made this personal investigation l knew
exactly what had to do with and the ne xt
step was to pick the best animals and build
up herd from them
A French scientist, gives as the result of
careful study of the moisture of the soil:
"The loss of drainage water was greatest
on fallow soils, and on these soils con-
tanned more of the elements of fertility.
The losses were reduced to the minimum
when the soil was covered by plants, very
little water passing through the soils when
thus covered. Even in winter, when pas
ture soils leached to some extent, the roots
held most of the plant food. This explains
the well-known fact that pastures grow
richer in nitrogen supply after being laid
down from tillage. The investigator found
that the rotation that kept the soil covered
the longest had the least loss. When long
intervals occurred between crops, the loss
became considerable"
"The requisites of the. cow and feed may
be frst-c!ass, but economy and profit de-
mand that there shall be first-class atten-
ton also," writes a successful dairy farmer.
"There is more judgment and care required
with cows than with any other stock on the
farm. COW is machine that must run
night and day, Sunday and weekdays,
month in and month out, throughout almost
the entire year. We don't make similar re-
quirements of any other machSe. Is it any
wonder she demands attention.

Farm Notes.

A prominent agriculturist recently speak
ing on success in dairying said: 1.-The first
step toward success in dairying should be
to enter into personal investigation of his
herd to know just what that herd of cows
is doing, individually.
"My business is general fruit-growing.
I put upon a fruit farm of 100 acres a
dairy of l6 cows for the purpose of helping
myself in my fruit business as well as hepl-
ing to start creamery in our neighbor-
hood. The first year l was disappointed !;
then l realized the importance of going
through that herd and seeing what the trou-
BILE was. l found the whole producers
were seven cows. There was not much
satisfaction in carrying on that kind of
business, so / determined to sell all but the
seven. Any reasonable offer that came
was accepted, and they went. L could not
speak very high word of praise to those
who came to take them.

4 NOTABLE PRISONER.
Former Liberal Leader In Northwes
Territory Under Arrest.

Former Liberal Leader In Northwest
Territory Under Arrest.
CHICAGO, Sept. 30.-Under the charge of
embezzlement, forgery and tampcring
with the mails of the British government,
Daniel Campbell, leader of the Liberal
party in the North west territory, a former
postmaster in one of the provinces, as well
as a nomber OF the Canadian parliament,
is prisoner at the central station. When
arrested in a i7ery stable on Thirty ninth
street, where he was employed cleaning
horses, he admitted the truth of the
charges of tampering with the mails and
embezzlcment, but denied that he was
guilty of forgery. Part of the money
which he took he claims has been paid
back to the government by his family, and
the remainder has been promised
Under these circumstances Campbell
thinks prosecution for his crime should
be dropped. That it is not, he claims, Is
due to the desire of the conservative ele-
ment to get into power by showing cor
ruption on the part of the Liberals, ana
he alleges that this party has contributed
thousands of dollars to maintain two
years hunt for him throughout the world.
Campbell is a Scothman, 30 years old,
and has wife and family living III biach-
pool, Lancashire, Eng. He has high fam
lily connections in England, through
whom he was appointed to a government
position in the Canadian northwest prov
ince of Assinboine, where his boldness as
a political leader soon brought him to the
front, finally being sent to parliament as
Il Liberal.
In addition to his other occupations, it
was finally demanded that he accept the
position of postmaster. He yielded to the
demand and took charge of the office at
at Moosin. Two years ago, in October, re-
ports We're made to the head of the govern
ment postal system that letters were be-
ing rilled in their passage through the
mails of the northwest territory. An in
ycStigation was begun. Before its conclu-
sion Campbell located the point of robbery
by suddenly leaving his office and fleeing
from the country.

MITCHELL ON HILL.


WASHINGTON, Sept Ex-senator Mitch
ell of Wisconsin, who is here on his way
home from the scashore, says of the nom
inatiOn of Mr.. Hill for governor of New
York: 1T is the strongest nomination
that could have been made, ana it will
have stimulating effect all through the
country. There is no doubt of Hills sim
ccrity in saying he does not want the NOM
ination, for who would yield II seat in the
United States senate for the governorship
OF New York Possibly the presidency as
a sequel to the govcrnorship might make
the exchange worth while, but l feel Ger
tain that Mr. Hill did not want to re
enter the gubcrnatorial struggle. While
there are grumblings of discomfort from
the anti-Hill factions they will come
around. and have no doubt he can carry
the state if there is a chance of carrying
it,"
Senator Mitchell was chairman of the
Democratic national congressional COM
mittee up to the organization Of the
present campaign. He says the Demo
cratic margin in the present house of
representatives is so great that the Repub-
iicans will not be able to overcome it and
the next house will be Democratic by a
good margin.

The new Ticonic bridge of the Maine
Central was completed, Saturday. The
last rivet was driven Friday night but there
were some small jobs to be attended to the
next day before the job could be called fin
ished. The bridge, like the new one above
the car shops is fine specimen of skill and
strength which will be appre ciated vastly
more by the trainmen than any other bridge
on the road, as with the old one the speed
of all heavy trains coming into the city had
to be so slackened that any locomotive was
put to hard trial to haul heavy passen-
ger train up the steep grade to tn" station,
while only few of the long freight trains
were able to climb the grade without calling
for assistance from one of the yard shutters.
Now they can cross the bridge at speed
which will give the train good nom sntum
to help long distance up the hill.
