The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1899-02-04

American Justice and fair play go through
fire and death and devastation and come out
purified by the faith that abides in the God
Of o Destiny, and we expect to- see it do SO
again: Our optimism is as expansive as
American love Of Justice and fair play. And
when properly appealed to-, when properly
aroused, we do not believe that the world
will give. And we do not look to one sec
| ton, tor a response but to all sections, and
especially to the South where. we know that
we have friends who have been tried in the
furnace of experience and found true, and
who will be faithful in the future, as they
have been in the past, If we shall be true to
of freedom. -
But no race has ever risen out of the shad-
sition. We have been no exception to the
rule And all the way to the top Of the lad
der, where Daniel Webster declared there
and time is the most important factor in the
economy of God in working out the destiny
Of Sfrd races and :nations-we shall encounter
herce antagonism, but we shall win in the
e enc. for we shall have God and justice and
lair play on our side.
j.; In ~ view Of the present condition Of affairs
attention to the following facts:
l. since 1868 there has been a steady and
persistent determination to eliminate us from
the politics of the Southern states. We are
not to be eliminated. Suffrage is federal
guaranty, and not a privilege to be conferred
Or Wltnheld by the states. We are not Op-
posed to legitimate restriction of the suffrage
put we insist that restrictions shall apply
alike to all citizens of all states. We are
willing to accept an educational or property
qualification, or both. We insist that neither
OF these was intended or is conserved by the
new constitutions of Mississippi, South Caro-
lima. or Louisiana. Their trainers intended
and did disfranchise majority of their citi-
zenship because of trace, color, and previous
condition." and we therefore. call upon the
congress to reduce the representation of
those states in the congress, as provided and
made mandatory by section 2 of article XIV
of the constitution. We call upon Afro-Amer-
leans everywhere to resist by all lawful means
the determination to deprive them of their
suffrage rights. If it is necessary to accom-
plish this vital purpose to divide their vote
IN given state we advise that they divide it.
The shibboleth Of party must give way to
the shibboleth of self preservation.
2. The increase of mob and lynch law in
the republic must be q source of regret and
grief to every law-abiding citizen 1t has
become a source of reproach at home and
abroad We feel that this cancer on the BODY
polite is breeding contempt for law
which will spread over the whole body of the
nation unless stop be put to it. The re-
cent outbreaks of It in the Carolinas have
shocked and Disguised the nation. We regret
that the president of the United States saw
At to treat with silence this vital matter in
his second annual message to congress
Yet we indulge the hope that he will use his
good offices to settle this matter to the salts
faction Of all concerned and the honor and
glory Of the nation. -ra-c -

SHOW CATTLE.

There Is one phase of exhibiting stoct
at the great fairs that while In one way
educational object lessons, as showing
what may be done 10 fancy way with
select specimens OF breed Of cattle,
does not reach the full measure OF sue
cess along educational lines. We refer
TO the fitting up Of show herds which 70
the rounds Of fairs, ss an advertisement
of the owners stock, and sometimes OF
the owners purse. These animals are
not generally bred BY the owner and ex-
hiblior, but are bought with dollars out
Of = long purse. Tney are well sdver-
tised and pulled; they have q conspic-
uous place 10 the barns and show rings
and Judges are confronted by an appar-
ent popular verdict in their favor before
they are called into the ring TO decide
upon their Llerits.
The old fashioned way was better.
When q man brings stock OF his own
breediugs to the fair he must have his
precopceived notions Of their merits be-
hind him. He may hold the opinion nj
home that he has the best cattle that
walk the earth, but at the fair, "there
are Others" and their merits are certain
to be considered. Right here comes the
educational part Of the fair. The farmer
or the breeder learns by comparing his
stock with that Of others just where his
cattle are weak, and II wise he sets
about correcting their fsults.-Maine

CHANGES IN FEEDING STEERS.
A CHANGING PERIOD Is A LOSING oxr
IN FATrENiNG CATTLE.

The fsttenlng steer is one Of the most
dainty OF farm animals and no other
shows go quickly and positively the III
effects Of changing conditions Of almost
any kind, provided the previous ones
were fairly satisfactory.
IL forced TO chsnge the conditions.
let IL be done gradually and la such q
manner ss to produce the least shock
possible with the fsts ming cattle. In
feeding trial once conducted by the
writer, one bunch Of steers WAS getting
shelied cora and the other cornmeal
made from grain out OF the same bin.
Both lots were gaining rapidly, a.
shown by the repeated weighings.
Deemlng the fsirest for the expert
ment TO change the grain for the tao
lots, that getting shelled corn WAS
given corpmesl, and the lot which had
been receiving eornmeal Was supplied
With whole corn, the change being
made without grsdstion. As conse-
quence OF this change, both lots OF
steers seemed dissatisfied with the
feed given them and there Was no gain
in weight for some time. The loss WAS
considerable.
When one makes changes, let him
arrange to bring them about Ms quiet
ly ss possible, and slowly, so thar the
animals hardly notice the difference.
Often in spring the stockmsn hesitStes
whether 70 keep his fsttening cattle
still confined to the shed or yard with
dry food for their subsistence, or 10
turn them on the pastures for q few
weeks. Unless the cattle are TO be out
as much as six or eight weeks, this
change Is hardly advisable.
Wilson and Curtis, commenting on
results .; the Iowa station, write "A
changing period Is usually q losing
period, II the change is radical" They
might have said that q changing
period il usually . losing period with
fattening cattle under almost any
condition. For every pound Of grain
with fsttening cattle Is produced at u
heavy cost for feed consumed under the
best Of conditions, and the expense may
be easily run up very materially by neg
lecting or overlooking some OF the
simple rules which lie at the basis OF
successful practice.-w. A. Henry, 10
