Says the Chicago Drovers' Journal:
The tendency to feed cattle and not
raise them is growing more popular
with the farmers of the middle west
every year. This is n short cut to
quick returns, and saves about two
years time. OF course somebody has
to raise the stock cattle, but as this
part of the industry can be carried on
more cheaply on the big ranches,
farmers who raise corn prefer to let
them have a monopoly on the breed

ber of range cattle that are being fed
on corn each winter is growing

PROVO WENT WILD.
News of Dewey's Victory Aroused
Widest Enthusiasm.

Especial TO The Herald)
Provo, May 2.-There was general
rejoicing throughout the city this morn
ing upon the arrival of the Salt Lake
PAPERS announcing the naval victory
of Commodore Dewey. Heralds sold
like hot cakes, and in a very few min
utes after the arrival of the train flags
could be seen floating from the tops
of principal buildings of the town and
men and boys We're gathered in knots
here and there along the main streets,
waving small flags and talking in a
most enthusiastic and exhultant man
ner. In a short time a patriotic and
hilarious crowd of men and boys,
headed by the drum corps, was parad-
ing the, streets and shouting vocifer-
ouSly.
A large crowd gathered on the
corner near the First National bank
and cheer after cheer was given for
Dewey, the navy, the flag and America.
There was a constant booming of can
non on the public square, and the fire
of guns could be heard in every quarter
of the city. The excitement continued
all day and a great demonstration was
made this evening.
When news reached here this after
noon that Manila had capitulated, the
excitement became more intense. Bust
ness was practically suspended; men
were shaking hands and congratulate
ing each other on every side, the town
was in an uproar and every one over
flowing with enthusiasm.

lister Hoshi has not yet received official

1t turns out that while Japan has
given notice that she will declare
neutrality, a decree of neutrality is not
yet actually issued, so that Yokohama
and other advantageous ports of Japan
continue to be open to the American
fleet. This Is looked upon by the
authorities here as an evidence OF the
friendly disposition of Japan towards
the United States. 1t leaves both the
ports of China and Japan open to our
ships. When the japanese decree of
neutrality is issued. there is a strong
hope, based on reliable information,
that it will contain what is known as a
'hospitable coal clause" This would
afford ample facilities to warships to
lay in necessary coal supplies at
Japanese ports, to carry them to the
next home port While the privilege
could be enjoyed by Spain as well as
the United States. yet the effect would
be of distinct advantage to the United
States, as it is in 'Asiatic waters that
the United States most needs hos
