FEEDING CATTLE.
Pointers of Interest to Others Be.
sides Farmers.

In recent issue of the Northwest
Agriculturalist there appesred an arti-
Gle on "some suggestions to cattle rails
ers," written by Hon. G. D. Gilfllan
of Redwood county. No one will doubt
that he is one of the most successful
farmers and stock raisers in the coun-
try, and fully qualified to speak from
experience. The writer says:
In this article I know I shall run
counter to the opinion of a great many
men of reputation, but to make true
progress in material prosperity, it is
the duty of any one who has some.
thing to say to speak out, giving the
reasons for the faith that is in him.
Happily in my case I am not engaged
in breeding any high-priced animals
for the market. 1 can therefore have
my say without fear of anyone official
or otherwise touching my bread and
butter.
Of late years fad has run through
nearly all of our cattle States, that a
farmer should breed either for beef or
for milk. The farmer learned some
years since, that it did not pay Gland
being worth twenty dollars per acre)
to breed exclusively for beef; raising
and marketing the carcasses for con-
sumption.
It does not take much figuring to
convince ordinary farmers, that it does
not pay to keep COW a whole year,
as we'll as fraction of a bull, to pro-
duce seven-eights of six months old
calf, not worth over $1S even at high
price. This sort of business is all
right in ranch country, where the
cost of maintaining COW upon Uncle
Sans land is about two dollars and
half per year. From the nature of the
case, nothing could be made of the
milk there and hence in those countries
there should be raised animals of the
beef breed only.
Where general farming is carried on,
(which will be the case in Minnesota if
the farmers are wise) farming will be
mixed; neither all grain nor all dairy
ing, nor all meat. No man, in the
long run, can afford to keep cattle for
the milk alone.
| Some years since I was in the Rhine
county in Germany, where I visited
several farms devoted to supplying
large cities with milk. After seeing
} these farms l was much struck by the
fact that there was no Holstein cows.
These needed only to be brought up
the river, which runs into Holland,
where such cattle are found in great
numbers. | inquired of the proprietor
about this. He told me that the Hol-
| stein gave large quantities of milk, yet
it was not satisfactory to the consumer
: The COW used was the Swiss COW from
the valley or plains, weighing about
! 1900 to 400 pounds, of very fair shape
for beef, and giving a satisfactory
quality of good milk.
One of these proprietors said that
: the cows were never turned out to
, pasture, but we're kept up and fed to
the highest point of tension, with hay

The difference between Shaker Di-

is simply that it helps nature to make
strength. It does not profess to cure
sickness, except as that sickness is a
result OF weakness caused by food not

SCRANTON NEEDS MORE HELP.

For two months the yellow fever
has ravaged our town, while our poor
laboring people, encircled on all sides
by a rigorous quarantine, and the
great majority OF them thrown out OF
work by the closing down OF nearly all
Il industries, have been reduced to
the most abject poverty, their condi-
tion being greatly aggravated by the
fever, which has invaded nearly
every home in the town. Our COM
mittee has sent out several applica-
tions for aid in behalf of our suffer
Ing poor, but while we have always re-
ceived generous responses, the vari-
Il amounts contributed to Our fund
has not been sufficient for the work
we have in hand, and while we have
saved many a poor family from starva-
tion and possibly death, we have been
greatly hampered in our work by
scarcity Of funds, and now find our
selves with poverty stricken people
applying to us for aid on all sides and
not a cent left to help them with.
The recent cool weather has given the
fever a setback, and we are promised
frost in a few days, but the weather
has been quite warm the past few
days, and the fever is likely to take a
fresh hold II the warm weather con-
tinues. Even when frost does come
it will be a week or two before work
starts up again, so we can safely look
for at least a two weeks siege yet,
and in the meantime we need money
to pay for nurses and medicines for
the sick and food for the hungry. This
need is urgent, and we hope those
who have escaped the affection will
come to our assistance. Funds may
be sent to either Of the following gen.

OCEAN SPRINGS. Miss, Nov. s. 1897.
Editor OF the Denocrat-star'
In this enlightened country few
people appreciate the great blessings
OF the general intercourse OF commu-
mites, towns, cities, States and ma
tions. 1t IL a well established fact
that the general intercourse OF ma
tions by their commerce, mails, and
visiting OF citizens, has had more to
do with preventing wars than any
other influence. Well do you and the
writer REMAINDER the hard sayings and
disputes so often occurring between
the editorsof our State pape rs before
the organization Of the State Press
Association. The yearly convention
OF our editors, where they meet ana
have u good brotherly time, seems to
restrain their acts and words all dur
ing the year. The association OF
churches and societies have gone far
to preserve peace among them.
Without referring to the great dam
aye and good done by quarantine, II Is
interesting 20 see how quick two com
munities or, towns will begin to sus-
piciOn and hate each other as soon as
a close guard line is drawn between
them. It's very clear that this IS
caused by each side not having a
chance to explain, or to be understood
by the other. Men and women are In
this respect very much like fowls and
animals. They will fight a week
across or through a fence, but let
them together and it is soon all over.
Stop the people ON the east side OF the
Mississippi river from ever crossing IL,
and other intercourse, and then pnt
the west side people in,the same con-
ditlon, and there will lie war In less
than a year. ..
As we are soon to have cold wealth
er, let all our coast people forget the
past, and all strive tn retrieve our
losses caused by both yellow fever and
quarantine X. Y. u.

NO NATIONAL QUARANTINE.

The DEMoCRAT-STAR maintains its
position against intrusting The entire
Quarantine regulations to the man
agement OF the Federal government,
through its Marine Hospital Service.
II the measure in favor OF national
Quarantine should be passed by Con
grcss We OF the South would thus be
compelled to slackcn in part our sa-
cred adhesion to States rights. Ques-
tions that concern Il highest COM
mcrcial interest would thus be left to
be- decided, not by our local CONNER
clal bodies, but by men, who have no
interest whatever 10 the prosperity Of
the South, as tits a known fact that
these officials OF the Marine Hospital
service are, as a rule, chosen FROM
amongst northern men. This being
the case, we are justified, from knowl-
edge OF the past, in strongly suspect
ing that these very officials may he

Northern cities to spring a yellow fe-
yer scare upon the country, at fire.
quent intervals: for these commercial
bodies know that they will thereby
reap pccuniary advantages from the
loss they shall succeed in imposing
upon our Southern towns. How graf
flying TO them will the prospect of
thus putting a damper on all future
Southern competition! DR.. John
Guitcras, the yellow fever "x-spurt,"
tells the Galveston people that no bad
consequences can follow, II the first
cases of yellow fever that appear in
any town are at once officially noticed
and published. This is altogether a
gratuitous assertion, and altogether
at variance with our recent expert
ence.
The supporters OF the national
quarantine measures seem to take It
for granted, that, because there has
been, In the past, a lack OF harmony
and some misunderstanding between
the various State Boards Of Health
no reform in that direction could be
accomplished.
Why could not the various State
Boards of Health appoint a central
committee chosen from amongst their
members, who would be empowered
to settle all differences, and thus Sc
cure that perfect uniformity Of action
which Is claimed in favor Of the Ma.
rine Hospital Service? We pause for
a rcply,
