was going to die and take his sister
with him. The fire was started in a
room where there was no stove, and It

threat as planned.

California has exhausted its supply
of feeders, in consequence of the late
drought of two years, and the drain
made by Eastern buyers upon the states
which were usually to be depended up
on to replenish the supply. Thousands
of cattle died during these dry seasons,
or were shipped out of the state, and it
is only natural consequence that
there should be a great scarcity of feed
ere. There will be the biggest demand
we think this year for stockers and
feeders than has been teen for years.
Stockmen are now holding their calves
and are going in extensively for breed
ing. Cows of good blood are now in
great demand, for the COW is the stock
in trade. She is the money maker Tor
several years to come. Get good, pure
bred bulls. They will pay best. No
scrubs are profitable in any country,
and much less so in the west. 1t is
more tb an possible that more care must
be taken in the breeding of animals in
the west than in the south, some more
expense than ordinarily entailed. but
it will pay in the end. The supply of
feeders is not equal to the demand here,
just as it is back east, and prices are
bound to be high.-Stockgrower

No Need for Alarm.

Philadelphia Inquirer.
The public need feel no alarm over
the reports of the increase in the num-
Der of cases of yellow fever in New
York and Key West. It is too late in
the season for an epidemic of any Sc
rious character to start up in this
country, for the disease Is q tropics al
one, and frost kills it. The patients at
the two points mentioned are mainly
refugees from Cuba or Porto
Rico, whose systems have been
vitiated by the hardships of war or
storm, and who have brought the
germs of the disease in their bodice
or clot ing from the islands. AS soon
as the disease has run it's course on the
vessels in New York Harbor and at
Key West there will probably be an
end of the threat of an epidemic. In
the meantime our quarantining me-
thods are SO perfect that little fear
need be felt that yellow fever will OBJ
tain any foothold on the mainland.
