COUNCIL MEETING.

The regular monthly meeting
of the city council for the month Of No
VEN ber was held at the council chamber
4ast night All the regularly elected
members OF the council were present,
Mayor Ella occupying the chair.
The roll was called by Clerk Della
plain, but he did not call the name OF
either Charles McCsry or Henry Kippe,
who have presumed to sit in the council
as rump members.
Alderman Wharton protested to the
calling of the roll in the manner done by
Clerk Delsplain He thought that the
names of McCary and Kippe should be
called
The minutes of the previous meeting
were not read and we're passed because
they were not written up at the time of
the session.
The reports of the officers Of the city
for the month OF November were then
presented by the clerk and the same
were referred to the committee on
finance They were from Marshal Mann,
Driver Barton and Treasurer Peirce.
Alderman Smith moved that the
driver be instructed to take the fire wa
gon to the shop for repairs needed to the
front wheels. The motion prevailed. A
large number of bills were presented and
referred to the finance committee.
Alderman Smith introduced ordinance
No. SO. The ordinance related to the is-
suance Of the $4,000 extra water bonds
voted at the last general election. AL
derman Dicksrson moved that the rules
be Suspended and the ordinance be put
upon its passage. The motion prevailed.
When the vote was 5aken on the ordi-
dance, all the regula, souncil voting aye.
Lorin Staley, attorney for the rump
like it to bo matter of record that il
they would have been allowed to vots,
Messrs. MeCary and Kippe would have
voted in the affirmative on the passage
of the ordinance. 1t is hardly likely that
Clerk Delaplain will burden the records
with any advice given by Lorin Staley or
any other man, relative to the farce
which is bein, ss..ifs, .o4 oy thoso who
compose the rump council.
Alderman Smith moved that the
clerk and mayor be authorized to adver-
tise for the sale Of the bonds and that
bids for their sale be received up to and
inclusive of Friday, December l, until
o'clock p. N.
Aid erman Ramey moved that the
clerk be instructed to obtain bids from
lithographic firms for the printin Of
twenty-five bonds of the denomination
of 81 10000 each and that the contract
be let to the lowest bidder.
Alderman Wharton moved that the
council adjourn to tonight at eight
o'clock. The motion was lost.
Alderman Mckinney then moved that
council adjourn until next Tuesday
night This motion prevailed. Under
the instructions of their attorney, Alder
man Brosmser then put the question of
adjournment until tonight and it passed
according to rump procedure.

following causes as weakening the
constitution and predisposing the cows
to the above disease:
/. Continuous existence in small
poorly ventilated and crowded stables.
2. insufficient food and the use of
large quantity Of offal from breweries
and distilleries.
3. Forced milk production.
4. Those cows that have narrow
chests and week constitution.
s. By frequently changing the po-
sition of the cows, which is done IN
stables where the fresh milking cows
and the dry ones are. arranged IN
groups.
6. Inbreeding. ''
z. Animals. the parents Of which
have tuberculosis. They are not born
with the disease, but have little pow
ers Of resistance against the germs.
8. When the calves are kept IN
close and poorly ventilated quarters
and not given exercise, the lungs are
not sufficiently developed and succumb
easily to the disease.
9. The. great development of the
creamery system whereby the skim
milk is mixed before returning 1t to
the farmers.

1llinois.red rex.. Cattle.

A telegram to the Chicago Record
from Rockford, ILL.,, under recent
date, said:
The sale by Warren Gilmore, q
farmer living four miles northwest Of
this city, of forty-one head Of cattle
averaging 1851 pounds, after seven
months full feed. is part Of the ex-
pertinent Of the Illinois state live stock
board in dipping Texas cattle and ship
ping them to northern Illinois to ut
.or market. The younger cattle Of that
shipment did not do we'll, but the
.-year-olds. which were placed on DIFF
ferent farms in this vicinity to the
aumber Of 600 head, turned out fairly
we'll and were sold in the Chicago
market at the close of winter.
The test showed that the southern
cattle do not thrive as well during the
cold weather as the native cattle OF
this section. The herd which was fed
on into June by Mr.. Gilmore made q
good showing during the latter warm
months and made the best results Of
any of the shipments. The cattle were
bought by Mr.. Gilmore Nov. IL, the
average weight being 915 pounds. They
are said to be one of the finest lots
OF cattle marketed in this region this
year. They were high-grade Polled
Angus. Their average gain in the
seven months is 1876 pounds. The test
TO show immunity from risk or south
ern fever in bringing them north was
a success. but as to the feeding ex-
pertinent Mr.. Gilmore considers that
the native cattle are more profitable
when they can be had. He paid 81 per
l00 pounds for the entire bunch, and
after adding 436 pounds average weight
sold the lot at $4.S5 per 100 pounds.
Inc cattle required about ten bushels
OF corn per month besides rough feed.
The cost to feed per head was about
$3O, while the average net gain was
little less than $29. On the face Of
1T this shows small loss on the trans
action, but Mr.. Gilmore estimates a
gain of about $4O0 on hogs feeding
after the cattle. The principal light
shed by this experiment is that feeder
cattle can be brought from Texas and
led up for market on northern Illinois
farms. 1t has been found to be a
perfectly safe operation under the pro-
visions made by the department of ag-
riculture. The greatest difficulty ex-
perienced by feeders in this part Of
the country is in getting good cattle
to feed. For that reason they have
been looking in every direction. At
times there is almost famine of cat
tie suited to the demand because Of
the dearth in the supply Of feeders.
There may be times when the relative
state Of supply in Texas and in the
north will make the new plan a COM
mercial success.

Exerci.ine stalllons.

The proper exercise of stations max
ing a season is all important, even
more important than the particular
kind of food they eat. From pam
pered stallion that is closely confined
to the stable, with no outdoor driving,
riding or exercise, but a small per cent
OF foals can be expected, and those
that do come will amount to but little.
Strength, vigor. power cannot be i'm
parted where it is not possessed, and
these qualities can only be secured by
healthy, strong exercise. In an article
In the Horseman, Mr.. L. V. D. Shep-
herd, an old experienced breeder, Is
reported as saying that he once leased
stallion to party for the season,
who was very particular in regard to
the animals diet, giving him hay, oats,
grass and mashes; but to keep him rat
and plump, gave him no exercise; the
result being that but very small per-
centage Of the mares got with foal.
The next season he leased the horse
to another party, who fed him con-
tinually on nothing but dry hay and
hard corn on the cob, but gave him
plenty of work, and out of about one
hundred mares got eighty-five with
foal.. Here was one instance at least
where i: showed pretty conclusively
the Importance of exercise. and that u
the predominant factor in developing
the functions Of the provocative or
gans. as the mode of feeding in the
latter case was certainly not as con-
ducive to that result as that of the
former,
