St. Paul daily globe., 1895-11-28

NlSlt 10 these places mad no direct
bearing upon the object of their in
vestigatiOn, they greatly enjoyed it
and saw much of interest. At the
government inspection they We're
given several points as to the Sc
lection of the proper kind of stock
to ship to the markets. The rea-
sons why certain stock was reject
ed was explained to them in detail.
and this knowledge will Of course be
of value. They were also given some
instruction in the
DETECTION AND CURE OF DIS
EASES.
This is always of interest and
value to farmers, and the gentlemen
greatly appreciated the attention
shown them by the government in
spectors.
At l o'clock they returned to the
city, and several took an afternoon
st. Paul & Duluth train for their
homes. The majority OF them. how
ever, went directly to the Minnesota
transfer, where they remained until
evening. Several made purchases of
stock, among the purchasers being
Martin Caine, of Barnum, who
bought thirty head of horses, for
which he paid $500 cash. The Wis
itOrs returned home last evening.
In speaking of the two days visit
in the city and the results derived
therefrom, C. A. Mackey, editor of
the Pine Knot, of Cloquet, said to a
G l o b reporter: The visit Of
these fifty members Of the Carlton
County Agricultural association to
st. Paul has excited considerable en-
thusiasm among them in regard to
live stock raising. I dare say it has
done more real good for the county
than any other one event. Although
we previously believed that Il would
be better if our farmers paid more
attention to this department. we
came here open to conviction. The
places we have visited and what We
have seen and heard has been in
direct line with the information we
desired, and everything has had
tendency to strengthen our original
conviction. At the Minnesota trans
fer this afternoon and at the stock
yards III South st. Paul this morn
ing several Of the farmers made pur-
chases of stock. This means that
they have already made a start in
the right direction, and it is the best
evidence of the good results of our
visit here.
I'VE have met with surprises in
our investigation. and l believe if .
the facts that we have learned were
known by the farmers throughout .
the state the amount OF stock raised
would be greatly increased. Al .
South st. Paul this morning we were
told that So per cent Of the hogs
slaughtered there axe from AIinneso- .
ta farms 30 per cent Of the sales .
are made in Europe. and that stock
from this state was preferred by the
Europeans. This, of course, is en-
couragfng. We have passed resolu- .
tiCns of thanks for the very courte-
GUS treatment we have received .
here. The visit has been one OF pleas
ure as well as profit"
