CLASSIFICATION OF HERDS.


The usual designation Of what shall
constitute q herd in the show ring ~ our
cattle show Is "A bull with four cows or
heifers." Our experience In the work OF
Judging at these exhibitions has some
times found IL difficult TO make up de-
cision fully satisfactory 10 ourselves on
account of the difference In the ages and
conss Quent maturity Of the animals put
iu 10 make up the different herds pitted
against each other. One exhibitor puts
In four mature cows; another brings
forward two mature cows and two
heifers Of different ages. ln such case
there are two heifers In competition with
two mature cows. With close competi-
ton, and all Of them prize animals, no
one, however sound his judgment, can
be sure he is doing justice IN his decision.
In mathematics, IL Is only like quantities
that can be compared. There Is no COM
parison between acres OF land and barrels
of -four. The same holds true between 3
mature COW and q yearliug heifer. SO
in every instance they are placed 10 dif-
ferent classes, and evidently for the
reason they are not comparable.
A better arrangement than that now
standing would be to require that the
herds be made up alike. As for example,
bull two years old or over, two cows
three years old or over, and one heifer
two years old, and one heifer one year
old. In this way much more reliable
Judgment could be made up than under
the usual arrangement as now standing.
We call attention TO this matter at this
time, that societies making up their
schedules for next autumn fairs may
take it under consideration.

FUTURE CATTLE PRICES.

Csttlemen are just now busy discussing
the future OF cattle prices, and 10 the
West there seems 10 be msjority who
believe that prices are now az low as
they will 20 for some time TO come. The
past month Of uncertainty and war scare
has brought some changes In the situa-
,ion. The tightening up Of money has
had the effect Of stopping the stocker
and feeder trade. and forcing many cat
tie TO market from the feed lots that
might have waited longer. On the West
ern ranges. the Denver Stockman says,
most OF the cattle have been turned out
for the summer, and there IL no chance
Of seeing grass cattle on the ma ket be-
fore the first Of July, II then, and good
killing cattle can hardly be expected be-
fore the first Of September. In the
mean " lille the feed lots are expected TO
supply the demand. During the past
month the feed lots have been emptying
rapidly and almost nothing in the shape
OF feeders Ia going back. Some stock
cattle are going TO the country, but they
are going on grass, and only small per
cent Of them are old enough or heavy
enough to make killers this year. Some
OF the best posted stockmen are Of the
opinion that with the ordinary export
demand the reed lots will be pretty well
cleaned up Of desirable cattle within the
next six weeks, and then what. An ad-
vance In prices on beef cattle, surely,
and q strong advance Is not unlikely.
But In the mean time there are indics-
tions that demand for good heavy feed
ers will be first 10 order. Good feeders
that can 60 into the feed lot and finish
for early market 10 the fall should GER
tsinly be a good investment under pres
ent conditions, and the chances are that
this class Of cattle will not be any cheap
er than at the present time. The stop
page OF this class Of cattle 10 this market
has been nearly complete for the past
month, but there are indications OF
coming demand that will take all that
can be found, and there are q feS head
scattered over the West that could be
brought In, but they will have TO come
soon or walt until after the roundup.
The situation as whole Is very favora-
BILE for higher prices on beef cattle, aId
this is what is wanted 10 make q strong
market. Stockers and feeders will keep
pace, IL indeed they do not lead TO some
extent 10 the sdvsnce.-Rural World.

EXPORTING GOLF STICKS.
Those of American Make Used ON
English Links.

Sending American golf sticks to England
Is Ike sending Goals to New Castle. but
that it is done Is clearly shown in a report
just madc to the State Department by
United states Consul Boyle of Liverpool
AT the pretty village of Hoyiake, sub
urb of Liverpool" says he, there are golf
links wEicn famous as being the oldest
and among the best in England, the game
being brought here by the Scotch. who
have se,tiei IN large numbers in this To-
calty. FOR number OF years golf sticks
and otner paraph.rnalia of the game made
AT hoy lane nave been exported through
this Consulate 10 the United States. Quite
recentIy, however. golf sticks made in the
Initeu states have been brought to Eng
land, anu their arrival has aroused great
ueat Oh comment mere Is already a stead
lily growing trade in Ensia for Gomes tic
woOde. ware of United States manufac-
ture, anu 1 particularly mention washing
tubs aud wasnboards. There is undoubt-
ediy great opening In this market for
American manufactures OF wooden articles
of almost every description, including fur
'nitLre, which IS dearer here than IN the
United States. There is no doubt that most
American articles manufactured from wood
are both cheaper and better made than
similar articles manufactured in England.
The reasons are that most woods ar cheap
er IN America, and improved machinery is
used 10 a lar greater extent in the manu-
facttre than nere.' The appearance of
American made golf sticks leads to the
suggestion that the United States could
even supply bats and wickets for the Eng
lish national game of cricket cheaper and
of better quality than the English made
articles.
The following Is from the Liverpool
Echo:
Most people will be surprised at the
statement that We are now importing golf
clubs from America: but 1t is a fact, ac-
eordins TO the statement Of Mr.. Charles s.
Cox. an Enslishman. long resident in
America. who. on his return home. has
stated that he had no difficulty in obtain
ing orders for 5000 cluDs from the largest
dealers in golf goods in Scotland and Eng
land. The reason for this is asserted to be
that the American clubs are better made
and better finished than those that can be
obtained AT noine at anything like the same
price Mr.. Cox says that the reason for
this underselling is the improved machn-
cry and advanced methods of manufacture
which are used In America compared with
our own

THE CONVICTED MURDERERs.
Two Are In Cells Awaiting Execution
-WinstOn'a Case.


William NJ. Strather and Edward Smith,
colored, are in Jail awaiting the imposition
of the death penalty for murder and Chas.
Winston. also colored. is soon TO be tried
on similar charge. Prisoners in the Jail
who have watched the cases of the con-
victed murderers think that Winstons fate
will be similar to that of the two who have
been tried before him. 1t is believed that
there may be either a double or triple
execution. Just when the convicted muir
derers will be executed Is not yet known,
and the court will probably not fix the date
until arguments on motions for new trials
are made and passed upon.
The two who have already been con-
victed, it is said. fully realize the serious
ness Of their positions. Smith, who muir
dered Edmonia jackson. seems to imagine
that he has done something SO neat that he
should not be executed for 1t.
Still Re seems desperate at times, but
yesterday he said he thought II was about
time for him to turn his attention to the
hereafter. Soon after his arrest he at
tempted 10 take mis- life by cutting his
throat, and when he was being conveyed
to the court mouse the first day of his trial
he made murderous assault on a fellow
prisoner who had been summoned to tes-
tify against him. Warden Leonard has re-
moved everything from his cell except his
mattress. This is placed on the floor, in
stead of On cot, It being feared he would
use a piece Of the iron spring of the cot as
knife.
With Strather no such fear is entertained.
He Is a man of more intelligence than
Smith possesses. He has shown no sign OF
desire to take his life. On the other hand.
he has expressed a wish to receive spiritual
consolation from colored divine. as he
says he wants to prepare for the world to
come.
The convictions of these men have weigh
ed heavily on Charles Winston, who is to
be tried for his life on the 1th OF next
mcnth Winston attempted suicide at the
time he killed his wife by shooting himself
in the head. He succeeded in inf1icting a
serious wound and in destroying the sight
of one eye Since he reached the Jail from
the hospital he has been very much de-
pressed and, In the event of his conviction,
it is thought he will collapse.

Represented as Going to Cuba ms the
President'a Representative.

fres10ents representative.
The departure of Senator Proctor of yer-
mont for Florida has given another oppor-
tunity for sensational statements. The SEN
ator is represented as really going to Cuba
as a special representative of President
Mckinley. This is denied at the White
House. although II is stated that Senator
Proctor may go to Cuba of his own accord
II he finds a congenial companion after he
arrives in Florida. He had not even de-
termined that he would go that far. having
decided to visit Florida for awhile.
While Senator Proctor and President Nc
Kinley are warm friends. the latter re-
garding the senator as one of the ablest
republicans in the country, the two men
are at variance on the question of handling
the Cuban question. Senator Proctor is an
ardent sympathizer with the Cubans, and
If he had been able would have granted
belligerency to the patriots long ago. He
would do this in the face of war with
Spain. and has repeatedly said so to his
friends. Under these circumstances # is
