NEW YORK, N. Y, Nov. 1.-THE
Herald's Valparaiso cable says: 1t is
semi-officially reported that the relations
between Chile and Argentine are again
strained. Chile made a proposition to
Argentine to enter into an agreement to
dlsarm. The reply OF Argentine was that
in the arbitration protocol accepted two
months ago there was no clause calling for
disarmament, and that the Government
did not propose to do so.
Politicians declare that Chile will soon
renew her proposition in more pointed and
explicit terms. 1t is considered probable
that in the case of second refusal this
Government will resort to stronger

Cattle Yaisers should bend every ef- fort to raise cattle that will sell at l.
 year. old. The idea of keeping steers
 until they are or @-yesrs-old and
 then sell them ss feeders, has been
 proven to be . poUr policy, both for the man who rsises the cattle and for those who feed them for the market. It is . we'll established fact that young cattle fatten more readily and conse- quently at less expense than old enes.
 Four or five years ago. and it was rot unusual to see steers going to market 6 or yeays old. In the lest four years . great change iias taken place. Now butchers and packers demand younger bee, and the live, shrewd cat- tie raiser, who is in the business to make money will study to supply the market with that class of beef which mse,s vita . ready sale and is always in demand. To do this the cattle raiser must breed and feed for early maturity, and this is one class of cat tls that there is little likelihood of over stocking the nszkss vsth for sons tiNs.-EzchsDss.
