Manila Bay Philippines). The re-
ported sailing OF powerful Spanish
fleet to attempt to recapture the Philip
pine islands is the principal topic of con-
versation aboard Admiral Dewey's
ships.
But there is no fear of Camara S
squadron. The American vessels
now here, re-eniorced by the cruiser
Charleston and by both or either of
the monitors, Monterey and Monad-
mock, will be able to make strong
fight. An American battle-ship
would be great and desirable addi-
tion, because the monitors are slower
of movement, but Admiral Dewey has
perfect confidence in the force he will
have by the time Camara can get here.

Washington, While not prolix in
his utterances, Admiral Dewey loses no
opportunity TO keep the Navy Depart
ment informed OF the state of affairs at
Manila. A dispatch came from him,
dated Cavite, June 81 He had many
other matters of interest to commune
cate, but they were not of character
that could be properly made public at
this stage. For one thing it can be
stated that Admiral Dewey has been
particular to avoid committing his
Government to any particular line OF
action respecting the future of the
Philippines or to do anything that
would embarrass General Merritt in
framing policy to meet the needs OF
the case when he arrives. He has
made no official pledges to the insur.
gent leader, although he has not hest
tated to openly praise his good politics
and his accomplishments.

The internal revenue department has
just published decision interesting to
farmers who make wine, relating to
the special tax. A fruit grower
masher his grapes, allowing this to
ferment week on his farm. He then
takes the mash to the mill in distant
town and has it pressed and returns
the wine to his farm, completing the
fermentation. Where is the place of
manufacture, and can he sell the wine
without becoming liable to special tax?
Commissioner Scott holds that the
wine having been completed by the
grower on his farm, the farm is. the
place OF manufacture and therefore
under the law he is entitled to sell
this wine there without being liable to
specia. tax.

CHICAGO CLAIMS TWO MILLIONS
School Census shows Population of
Almost That Number,


Chicago Chicago's population by
her official school census, the figures of
which are just out, 1851, 5S8. The
school census does not cover the entire
city, but it is not believed that the
figures are over 100, 900 less than the
actual population of 100000 The
census shows an increase in popula-
tion over that of 1896 of $50, 900; over
that of 1894 of 400, 900 and of that OF
1890, taken by the Government of over
100000. The city directory's estimate
of the population, made last week, is
l 1850, 900, or 10000 more than the
school census shows. The school census
shows 945, 900 males and 905, 900
females in the city. The largest ward

Good Feeding.

J. II. Miller, the Polled Durham
breeder of Mexico, Ind, says: In
breeding pedigreed cattle for profit,
nothing short of the very best care you
can bestow should be thought of. In
the first place well fed and highly de-
veloped animals are always attractive;
men who come to breeding barns ex-
pect to see something above the ordi-
nary. 1t will not satisfy the average
buyer to be told "all these cattle need
to make them as fine and large as those
of Mr.. So and Sos, is more feed and
the same care he gives his stock. -
Ill-kept and understood cattle can only
be sold to second and third-rate buyers;
they will not command the prices that
bring gain to the breeder. The fat
sleek COWS are silent statesmen of the
breeding barns, more effective than
amy speech the owner can make tc
bring prospective buyers to the point
of purchase. We hold, too, that quail.
ity can be fed into cattle, as well as
bred into them. We believe that
stock that has been pushed to early
maturity through several successive
generations by generous care will beget
the quality of early maturity in their
offspring finally fixing it as valuable
heredity in the family so treated. On
our farm We certainly do not allow our
cattle to go hungry. We grind all our
grain, corn, mixed bran, oats, and
other foods with the corn to give
needed variety and to the mixture We
add considerable quantity OF cut hay
or straw to give bulk. 1t is believed
that ground grain alone clogs in the
stomachs OF cattle and does not undergo
the reconsideration known as Chewing
the cud, and which is necessary with
all stock of the split hoof kind to gel
the best results from all they eat.
Pure water, plenty of it, ventilation
and clean quarters must all be pro.
vided, or no profits will profit.

Dairy Notes.
Regularity in temperature.

Regularity in temperature.
Both feed and breed are important.
Have the sire fully better than the
dam.
Irregular milking does considerable
harm.
1t is fn item to know that your Their
mometer is correct.
1t is poor economy to keep the COWS
in pasture without shade.
Corn and oats ground with wheat
bran make good ration for the mich
cows. 1t is not so much the amount
of milk the butter-maker wants as it
is the quality.
With many farmers it pays to take
the hard work of butter-making to the
factory.
The best way OF securing uniform
high grade of COWS is by raising the
best heller calves.
The feeding should always be such
that there will be no shrinkage in the
milk only from natural causes.
Look for individual excellence as
well as a long pedigree in selecting an
animal to improve the dairy herd
The Jersey has been bred especially
to develop the dairy haracteristics, so
that good COW is the rule, not the ex-
ception.
Study the feed questions. The ma
jority of farmers do not understand
how to feed for milk as fully as they
should.
A COW that is not good breeder
should never be found ON farm unless
she is very much above the average for
milk and butter.

Colored People VIII Demand Politi-
cal RECOGNITION.

There seems to be a we'll DEVELOPED
idea prevalent among the people of
Salt Lake City that it is impossible,
or nearly so, to find colored man with
the necessary qualifications to fit him
for a position under the city govern
ment- That such is the case is largely
due to the fact that in the past the
colored men have been led by one or
two men, Self-styled race leaders, whose
aims would have been defeated. and
whose profits would have been dimin-
1shed, had the fact become generally
known that there are colored men in
this city fully qualified in every way to
I'LL any position to which they may be
appointed These men are in the habit
of claiming to be able to control the
culored voters of this city, and then
Whatever influence they are l5le to ex-
tract from their supposed power is
converted into cash, instead of used to
forward the interests of their race.
The colored voters of this city have
become about decided to band together
for the purpose of protecting their own
interests in the future.
With this end in view there will be
meeting called in the near future, hav-
ing for its object the formation of
club, whose members will be pledged
to look after race interests, and to Sc
cure those benefits for the race which
they have failed to get in the past.
It is the duty of every coIored citi-
zen to attend this meeting, and see for
himself what we are trying to do, and
to help the good work along.

DRAWING APART.
Friction Between the Union Pacific
and Oregon Short Line.

On Sept % all rates in which the
Union Pacific, Oregon Short Line and
Oregon Railway & Navigation com
pany, west OF Huntington, are inter
ested, will be withdrawn. The official
notice has reached headquarters of the
Short Line road. The notice applies
to all rates. Passenger rates are in
Guided.
From all indications It would seem
that the two lines, the Union Pacific
and the Short Line. are drawing apart
more than ever. The opening OF the
Ogden gateway has had a disastrous
effect upon the cordial relations which
were presumed to exist andre day by day
there seems to be an intensiication of
the chilly feelings.
The Union Pacific has retaIiated upon
the Short Line by routing ali its stuff
tor points west of Huntington, over
the Southern Pacific via Portland, and
it is expected that passenger traffic
will be sent in the same direction.
This matter will be kept up, until
finally small war will break out and
then there will be some trouble.
