Stock Cattle.
From Chicago Drovers Journal

From Chicago Drovers Journal.
There is no doubt but what the de-
mand for stock cattle will be much
better after the western range eason
opens. Those who have canvassed the
country, both east and west, find that
there are no young cattle of any con
sequence on hand, and all feeders are
wanting them. 1t is predicted that
there will be an unusual demand as
oon as enough cattle of this class
COM to market. Feeders are begin
ming to have faith in the future OF the
fat cattle trade. They are of the
opinion that an investment now, when
cattle are low, is much better than last
fall, when they we're comparatively
high and on a decline. II the demand
m cts expectations, the price of fat
range cattle ought to be reasonably
good.

Let England take care of herself, 1e
France look after her interests, let Ger
many take care Of her W people, but in
Gods name let Americans look after
America. Every days labor upon the
foreign products sent to the United States
takes one days labor from American
workingmen. | would give the days
labor to our own, first, last, and all

in this is opposed to American interests.

Gen. John NJ. Stahl, of Illinois, one
of the most expert and successful fish
ermen in this country, has discovered
that angle worms can be obtained any
where by wetting the ground with a
solution of blue vitrol, or with soap
suds, which brings them out in surpris-
ing numbers. Col. Frank P. Holland,
of the Teas Farm and Ranch, consid-
ers this discovery n of the most i'm
portant ever made, and proposes that
every n fond Of the sport pray for
Geh. Stahl's prosperity and posterity.

One OF the old decisions that Is now
fairly exploded by scientific research is
the idea that GLOWING water will pur.
lily itself Ia seven miles" 1t is a theory
that has kept a great many people in a
comfortable frame Of mind when they
might better have been worrying a lit
tie, and has probably prevented public
authorities from taking precautions
against the spread of typhoid fever and
other diseases that they should have
taken. There Is one cass 10 this
try IN which it is known positively that
typhoid fever was conveyed from one
town to another, sixty miles away, by a
running stream. and this actnaI case Is
a small thing as compared with The
possibilities that have been declared by
learned bodies that have carefully ex
amined the subject both In this country
and abroad.
One body that investigated it is the
"Rivers Pollution Commission of
England, which declares in its pub
lished report that the self publication
theory is a fallacy, and asserts that
ssthere is no river In the United King
dom long enough to effect the destruc-
ton of sewage by oxidation" This is
startling, but it is not SO strong a
statement as was made at o recent
meeting of the American society of
municipal Improvements, when, In
response to questions asked him by
members of the society, MIR. John w.
Hill, civil engineer, stated that from
recent experiments he had found that
''the typhoid bacillus will live in Ohio
i've water for a period between sixty
and ninety days with full power OF re-
production. This would enable 1t to
travel a distance of 5000 miles or
more, il that were possible, and that it
could readily start at the head waters
of the Allegheny or Monongahela riv-
ers and reach the intake of every city
we ter works on the banks of the Ohio
and Mississippi rivers, and convey
the typhoid fever germ to those who
drink the unfiltered river water at those
points,"
This is an extremely important mat
ter to American cities, most of which
derive their public water supply from
flowing streams. The disease germs
may be removed by boiling or fltra-
ton, but there are thousands OF people
who will not do either. II the result
ing dar ger came only to the careless it
would not be so serious, but when the
spread of a disease among one class
puts the whole community In danger,
it becomes the duty of the public to
protect itself. The public water sup
ply of any city can easily and cheaply
be made pure and wholesome by the
process of sand filtration which Is IN
use in many cities OF Europe, and s,me
in this country. 1t ought to be In use
in every city which derives its water
supply from streams or other bodies of
surface water. 10 that way you can
force people TO use pure water and to
protect the health of themselves and
their neIgLbors.
