The foundation of the fortune of many
OF the great Texas cattlemen was laid
IN the years Immediately following the
civil war;" said a man from the Lone
Star State to the New York Sun. Dur
ing the four years in which the drafts
for the Confederate army practically de-
populated the country of it's able-bodied
men, the cattle on THE ranges, running
unherded and unbranded increased
enormously in numbers. Bearing no brand
of ownership these cattle which at the
close of the war had become practically
wild, were subject to be taken by any
man who could sustain his ATTEMPT nv
force of arms against other claims of
ownership.
There was good commercial demand for
hides, and these were the times when so
many men got their start in life bv rid

ever found unherded, shooting them down.

then running at large were too wild to he

when, in time, through the catching and
branding of calves herds had been col

Tree Dealers and Their Methods.
BY ONE WHO KNOWS

When on recent visit to one of the nurs-
cry centers of the West, where tree dealers
congregate every fall and spring to buy
stock for filling their orders, I was very
much impressed by their conversation as
indicative of their methods. A few charac-
teristic statements may serve illustra-
ton: IF you can only get one of the leading
men of a neighborhood booked for a good
sized order you will have clear sailing after
that" Yes, use that scheme lots of times.
Sometimes I find it pays to get man to

influence. 1 can then go to some of his
neighbors and show them the list, and tell
them what he is taking, and they nearly al

though cows will do well for short time
on corn feed, stalks and all, hay and
corn, they will after a time gradually
shrink in milk, with tendency to fatten.
This Is allowable with COW approaching
the end of her milking period in fall, for
1t Is proper for her to lay on some fat
for winter. and proper for her to dry off
IN milk. But fresh COW in cold weather
must be warmly stabbed and must have
plenty OF nitrogen in her food, or She, too.
will shrink in milk and fatten Qf fed
enough to allow IT., and the result is a poor
yield of milk even when grass comes.
Bran is the favorite feed for this purpose,
but Oil meal, cottonseed meal, glucose feed,
etc., are also used. 1t is easy to add IS
year to the income of each COW by
avoiding the use of too much timothy hay
and corn. Trading corn oats for bran
is trading part of the carbonaceous foods
of the farm for some heterogeneous food to
be fed with carbonaceous food. Milk is
made of both classes Ut is itself a food,
and to produce it the COW must have both
classes of food. Let us remember the
value of clover hay for cows, and that bran
IS especially good for winter mixers.

ing fund OF 1--WE per cent, and this sinking
fund wiped out the debt (about $4,000, and
now the farmers own it free of debt, and
have every cent there is in the business
The sinking fund was made by simply
keeping back five per cent of net receipts
every month for butter sold. and using
this for paying the debt. The 43 patrons
keep an average of Is cows each, and ar
range to have part calve in the spring and
part in the fall, so that the creamery runs
the year round The farmers take the
milk to the creamery and bring the Sepa-
rated milk back with them for pigs and
calves That is, it is run through separa-
tors at the factory, which take out all the
butter fat, and the skim milk is the prop
cry of the patrons.
The butter sells at top quotations and
above. 1t may be news to some that many
creamerieS here regularly get half cent
per pound above the highest quoted price
for any butter. They make uniform ar
ticle and sell to those who will pay a little
extra for butter which they have worked
up a special trade for.
The patrons are prosperous. They have
made some money, even in the hard times
of the past two years. and best of all,
they have a steady occupation all the year
around Every month the butter money
comes as surely as the month comes.
FEEDING THE cows
Experience shows a great difference in
the expense and results by different meth
DDS of feeding. Green corn is needed to
feed plentifully in the early fall to keep
the cows flush in milk, for if they dry up
with the grass they will stay dry. Cows
which are fresh in spring will not pay for
much grain in winter, except when butter
is high, and modern cold storage is tend
ing to lower the price of winter butter nv

for winter use A full supply of corn fod.

fairly good work at milk giving, and this
Is the cheapest combination Of all.

SECRETARY GRESHAM.

The country will learn with genuine re
greet the news which we published this
morning in regard to Secretary Gresham
He has been one of the few public men of
the present day who has measured up to
the best standards of the past, and whom
the country can ill-aford to lose. What
ever differences of opinion may exist as to
the questions of national and international
concern with which he had. to do in the
course of his public career, there can be
none as to his absolute personal and politi-
cal integrity and sincerity. From first to
last he has been noted for his stern and
answering devotion to principle and for
the pure and exalted spirit of patriotism
bv which he was animated. His record
during the war was Il brilliant one. and
was characterized by gallantry of the high
est character. and his career as civilian
was scarcely begun before he proved that
he was as brave in peace as in war-that
he had what is rarer than physical courage,
the courage to avow and follow his con
personal sacrifices such course might in
volve This testimony To his ability and
character will be ungrudging and general
and even his political critics and opponents
purity of motive and unadultcratcd love
of country. The small majority of lingo
lists who have criticized his conduct of the
Department of State and his attitude upon
the international questions that have arisen
during the present administration will. Il
few years hence, when they are able to
take Il sober second thought, probably re
wise their present judgments. If they do
intelligent and patriotic than their worst
enemies have supposed them. History,
however, will pronounce but one verdict
upon the record made by him in the De
partmcnt of State under Mr.. Cleveland,
and that verdict will be one of the highest
commentator The review of our foreign
policy under Mr.. Clevcland's adminStra-
ton, is Il tribute To Mr. Gresham as we'll
as 10 inc 1lcSiHcht-the tribute Oh accom-
pliShed facts and of beneficial results That
policy while peaceful has been patriotic
in the highest sense and American in the
truest, and while scrupulously maintain
ing the rights and honor Of this country in
every question has preserved it from the
snares and pitfalls Of a reckless and greedy
diplomacy Mr. Gresham has shown him
self man after Mr.. Cleveland heart and
pattern-true, honest and courageous,
worthy aid and associate of great and
strong executive. His loss will BE- loss

THE SILVER ISSUEIN A NUTSHELL.

The three speeches delivered by Secre-
tarv Carlisle on the silver issue at Coving-
ton, Memphis, and Bowling Green will be
accepted as text books in the discuss
ion of the money question for all time.
Taking the three together there is no vol
ume extant on the money issue that so
clearly, so fairly, and so conclusively pre-
sents the wisdom of maintaining honest
money.
In his Bowling Green speech delivered
or Saturday, he presents the silver issue
in five terSe sentences so clearly that the
wavfaring man cannot fail to understand
it. The five sentences which thus cover
the whole dispute are as follows:
l. There is not free coinage country
in the world to-day that is not on silver
basis.
9 There is not a gold standard country
in the world to-day that does not use sill
yer money along with gold.
3. There is not silver standard country
in the world to-day that uses any gold
along with silver.
T. There is not silver standard country
in the world to-day that has more than
one-third of the circulation per capita that
the United States has.
). There is not a silver standard country
in the world to-day where the laborin .
man receives fair pay for his days work.
will venture to dispute, and no refinement
of argument or theory can overthrow
them. They shown conclusivclv the eff
try where it has been adopted, and show
also that there can be no use of gold as
currency where the silver standard is ac-
cepted.
Especially should the workingmen of
the nation study these five reasons given
by Mr.. Carlisle which present the whole
silver issue in a nutshell. The fact that
in no silver country are workingmen paid
living wages, is conclusive against the in
terests of the industrial people being iden-
titled with the free silver craZe.-Phila-

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGToN. ID. c.. MAY y.
Mr.. EnIToR:-The Presidential boom of
Hon. William c. Whitney, who as Prcsi-
dent. Clcvcland'S first Secretary of the
NAVY became one of the most popular
democrats ever in office, was received with
open arms in Washington, aS it doubtless

nev can only be prevailed upon to allow
the use of his name as the democratic can
didate. There would be no doubt of his
having the cordial support of President
Cleveland and every membor of the admin
istration. \ member of the cabinet is
quoted as having said: "Whitncv is the
most popular man in the party today. He
has kept his hands off of all fights, and is
highly thought of by both the reform and
the machine politicians. The prospect is
good for the rehabilitation of the party in
the general confidence of the people. 1t
depends entirely on the revival of bust
ness. The indications now are that this
revival will be thorough, and that by next
spring the commercial life of the country
will be as vigorous it was before the
panic In that event, | have no doubt that
Mr. Whitney will permit the use of his
name and am able to stake my political
reputation on the truth of the statement
upon giving that permission he will re
ceiVc the joint support of not only the adj
mini>tration and Tammany Hall, but of

elements of the party represented by those
gentlemen.

the President will desire to be near Mrs.
Cleveland for some weeks to come, and
the affairs of the government are in such

MEMORIAL DAY.

The following appropriate remarks APP
peared in the Baltimore sun of yesterday:
1t is gratifying to note that the interest
in Memorial Day increases rather than di-
minishes with the passage of time. Many
of those who took part in its earlier observ-
ances have since been summoned to join
the comrades who fell during the civil war,
but though the ranks of the Grand Army
are depleted by death from year to year,
the earnestness and enthusiasm of the sur
vivors remain unimpaircd, and they pay
their annual tribute with pride and atfec-
ton that knows neither diminuton nor
shadow of changing Happily Memorial
Day is now rarely made the occasion any
1t is what its name signifies, day of me-
mortal, not of maledction. The men who
sleep beneath the green mounds which will
to-day be covered with flowers of remenl-
brance would be the last to wish it other
wise were they still among the living. Like
were too brave and generous to desire to
perpetuate sectional ill-fceling and preiu-
dice, and there are few members Of the
Grand Army today who are not inspired by
the same spirit of brotherhood and ma gna-
nimitv. Indeed. as far as the great ma ior-
ity of the soldiers of the two armies are
concerned, there has been nothing but
kindly feeling for many years past, and
every year is bringin" them closer together
united patriots. It is no new thin" for
Federal and Southern soldiers to combine
in doing honor on these memorial occa-
sionS to the dead regardless of the uniform
they wore, remembering only that they
were brave men. who fought Il rood fight
and kept the faith until the end. The time
will probably come when there will be but
one Memorial Day, and when broad and
noble PATRIOTISM forgctful of the sectional
hate of the past, will know no North or
South, no East or West within the sacred
cities of the valiant dead. but Will crown
with a common glory of symbolic flowers
the resting places of all the heroes of the
war. Thousands of cNConfedcrates will
join to-day in doing honor to the gallant
Federal soldiers who attested their SINGER
ity and devotion by laying down their
for their country; Just a. Confederate Me
mortal Day generally witnesses similar
tributes from Northern veterans \ not
able indication Of the growth of fratcrnal
feeling will be presented in Chicago, where
two monuments will be dedicated to-day
one Grand Army monument to General
Thomas, and the othcra Confederate mon
umcnt to the six thousand Southern soldi-
ers who died in prison at Camp Douglas.
Such incidents as this show that we are
Il really united country, united in heart as
we'll as by law. Memorial Day is good
and appropriate day on which to forget
old bitterness and luminosity and to recall
old love and admiration, and no better
place to cement the Union could be found
than by the graves of the men of the North
and the South who made the name Of Amer
lea illustrious forever in history for spcn-
did valor and devoted patriotism.
