The prevalence Of war in South Africa
ana the incident partial suspension of
business activity in that section, have
served to call attention to the rapid
growth of American commerce with the
African republics and the British colon
lei.
A recent number of the British and
south African Export Gazette received
by the treasury bureau of statistics
contains a series of statements on this
subject, and quotes Nr. J. Solomon. a
Cape Town, South Africa, merchant, as
saying: 'In some respects the British
manufacturer is outdoing his American
competitor, but / am afraid that in
many cases the latter is getting the de-
eided advantage. The former cannot
AFFORD 10 lose this important market,
which, in my view. he does not study
euaicientiy. on the other hand, the
American manufacturer goes out of his
way 10 please his clients In order to
grasp q probable order. Take boots
and shoes for instance. It used to be
asserted that American boots would not
1T English feet; but American manu-
fscturers now use English lasts. It is
the willingness Of the Americans to
adapt themselves to required styles
which has principally gained for them
80 large a share Of the South African
trade. Quite number Of Cape Town
houses now handle American goods. As
regards Germany. England cannot
touch 1t In the matter Of blankets and
China ware, and in these and some few
other oIeasea Of goods they are making
important lnroads Into the market"
A similar publication in Ironmongery
OF recent date says that South Africa
imported during 1891 no less than 1000
tons Of wire fencing chiefly from the
United states, the Iron posts for which,
however, we're mostly furnished BY
pther countries.

West virginia'S corporation laws

THE ENTELLIGENcER.
WHEELING. DEoEMBER g. lsoo
A silver Repnblican scheme.

The East, considered by Mr.. Bryan in
.he campaign of 1896 as the "enemys
country" SO far as the free silver tenets
Of the Democratic faith were concerned,
IS now deemed good missionary ground
and fallow field, not for free silver
ploughing exactly. but It is believed by
the free silver Republicans that an al
iiance with the anti-imperiallsts win
give them foothold in the eastern
states so that they can claim TO be a
national organization and become
noreenectiyewhlpfor holding the DEM
ocrats to the Bryan and IS to / line.
Ex-senator Dubois, Of Idaho. and
chairman Of the silver Republican sx-
ecutive committee. has thus voiced
himself on the project: 'There is no
place for the Republican antl-imperial-
lists Of New England and the coast to go
except into our party. The assured
composition Of the United States senate
for several years convinces them that
silver legislation cannot be passed for
many years yet. on anH-imperialism
and kindred questions they are at one
with us. expect to see Ex-Governor
Boutwell,, Of Massachusetts; Edward
Atkinson, and men like them. sitting as
delegates in our convention. Our con-
vention, IL held at the same place and
time as the Democratic convention, will
be a powerful stimulus against any
concession by that party to the forces
Of unrighteousness. We are pretty wei
satisfied that the Democrats win re-
amrin the platform OF 1895 and rsnomi-
nate Mr.. Bryan. II they should seek
to evade or subordinate the silver issue
we win establish separate organiza-
tion and nominate separate ticket"
This Is nice scheme-for the silver
Republicaas-but we are very much
afraid that It wont work. Atkinson.
Boutwell, end Hoar may be guilty Of
many inexplicabie eccentricIties, but

DAIRY Constitutions.

Professor T. L. Hacker of the Min.
nesota experiment station states in
Hoard's Dairyman that SO far as his ex-
perience is concerned the highly bred
dairy, COW is no more subject to disease
than the dual purpose types. A few
years ago, when the tuberculin test was
first applied to the cattle at this station,
says Professor Hacker, both the dairy
and the beef herds were in charge of
the writer, and when the first test was
made every animal in the beef herd,
save one, responded to the test, not
withstanding the fact that three of
them were big chested Polled Anguses,
while of all the dairy animals only one
was found tuberculous, and that one
was Tricksy.
Before she came to Minnesota she
had made the fair circuits for three
years and had been exposed to the
disease more than would have been
the case had she renamed at home.
Such cows as Prideof Evergreen,
Dora, Bette b. Sweet Brier and
others never contracted the disease,
though they we're of the thin neck
ed, narrow chested sort that cause
our friends who write so voluminously
about stamina, heart girth and lung
capacity SO much alarm. The records
show that the liability to contract dis
ease can be closely measured by the
amount of tissue in the body. The
germ of tuberculosis is liable to find a
lodgment in any tissue of the body,
and, other things being equal, the more
tissue the greater the liability to con-
tract that or any other disease. 1t fol-
lows therefore that with spare COW,
h aving little flesh, there is less liability
to contract tuberculosis. We also find
that spare COW will longer successful
ly contend with the disease than is the
case with those having more substance
for the germ to feed upon.
OF all the cattle that were at the
Minnesota station in 1891 there is only
one left, and that is Champions Sweet
Brier Ill. She has given us a calf
every year since she has been at the sta
tion, is now in calf and doing most ex-
cellent work in the dairy. She is ap-
parently in most excellent health and
good for several years of work. Every
milking has. been. weighed and tested
since tho day she arrived at the station,
and during the last six years every ra-
tion has been weighed out to her and
the amount and kind of feed recorded
Her average per cent was for 1892, 81;
1893, 5; 1894, 40; 1895, 4.9S; 1895, s.
1897 5.35. 1t is our aim to let her dc
about as she pleases. Some years she
seems disposed to do more work than
others, has a better appetite and gives
more milk. Unfortunately she got
into the habit of dropping hull calves
until last year, but this year she gave us
two fine heifer calves, which we hope
to keep in the herd during their life
time.
