To Get n start in stock Raising.

Perhaps no branch of farm industry is
so remunerative and requires less hard
manual labor as that Of stock raising
when one is fairly initiated into the bus
mess, says the Epitomist. But to the
small farmer, or beginner, with limited
means, 1t is very difficult to get a start,
as it requires capital However, where
one has any means or credit at all, he
can. by judicious anagement, make a
beginning. For instance, II he can succeed
in getting a team of his own to farm
with, and 1t consists of one or two
mares, or IL horses, and he can exchange
them fer as good brood mares as are OBJ
tainable, he can breed these to as good
blooded stallion as is available, and
this will insure some Improvement in
the stock. Such stocks IL not answering
for brood mares, when ready for market.
can be sold to some advantage and still
better stock bought with the proceeds.
These again may be bred to good stock,
and step by step a fair start may be
had.
But. with regard to raising stock from
Inferior bloodsd mares, such as are often
the best shift the poor young farmer for
the time can make, it would be better in
the main to breed them to jacks rather
than to stations, as mules would sell
more readily and at better prices than
horses bred from such dams. Hence 1t
would be better to breed to jacks maxi
ing the best of the mules, and when at
the proper age for market, sell them to
the best advantage and with the pro-
ceeds better brood mares oan be pur-
chased tf
In a way similar to that first described
start may be gained in cattle raising
which, psrhaps. in me st cases, would pay
the small farmer better than raising
hors,s. Breed the cows, such as they are.
to the best blooded bulls available. Rear
the calves with care, and, If heifers,
freed these again to Geod blooded males.
With any stock Start can be made
without any great expenditure Of money.
and with only few years more Of pa
tient care and waiting. In advising to
seek the best blooded stock, we do not
mean strictly the highest grades, or fine
stock" so-ealled, as much as those that

BAD MAN AT BEAUFORT.

Beaufort, s. c.. June 3.-There was con-
siderable excitement near the Court House
here yesterday when a drunken negro,
supposed to be a stranded Decoration Day
excursionist. was making himself exceed
ingly obnoxious. He was approached by
Edward Wallace, chief of police, who de-
manded his surrender. The mans reply
was brick hurled at Officer wallace with
such accuracy as to cause that officials
ignominlous retreat. Joe Deas, hack
driver, happened along on his way to the
depot, and, getting out of his team, fear
lessly approached the man, and after
having a front tooth knocked out by a
brick, he succeeded in throwing the man
down and pinloning him until help arriv-
ed. The offender was safely lodged In the
county Jail.

| claim these, and will undoubtedly get
them. 1t would be policy to let them have
| them. Otherwise there would be discon-
| tent, that might show itself in open re-
sstance to the government. The places in
the business world are well filed by those
who understand the methods of conducting
trade, both wholesale and retail. NO
American merchant could compete sue
cessfully with the native or Chinese mer-
chants, because the living expenses of the
latter are small compared to an Amef-
scans living expenses.
There is no probability of a great in
crease at once in the commerce of Manila
1t is, probable that trade will increase, but
the increase will be slow, and along con-
sentative lines The fact that European
countries have been engaged in trading
with the Philippines for centuries should
not be overlooked. There is no good rea-
son why there should be great and sud-
den increase in the commerce of the ISL
ands simply because the American flag
has been hoisted over them.
In the field of production-in agriculture
and manufacturing-there are openings for
capital, but not Tor the poor man. Inc
natives know better than foreigners how
to get good results from the soil. and if
they had the capital they could do even
better than foreigners in manufacturing.
1t is probable that those who have been
writing glowing accounts of the possibili-
tets for young and ambitious Americans
to reap rich rewards in the Philippines
were not as well acquainted with the con-
ditions which exist there as many of those
who have never visited the islands. If
the Philippines should become a perma-
nent possession OF this country it is prob
able that the migration of young Ameri-
cans to them would be so small that Il
would not attract attention. And it is
quite certain that there would not be any
movement of the native of the Philippines
to this country. A Filipino would not
know what TO do with himself after he got
here-that is, if he had to earn his living.
He is altogether a different person from
the Chinaman. He doesn't like to work.
He is not in the least thrifty His own
country suits him and he will stay there.
And the ambitious young American will
remain at home

Had Driven Mules before.

Daniel G. Pomeroy, once a prominent
New York criminal lawyer. in his early
life was a stage driver on the old But
terfield line, and Cleaned his legal educa-
ton largely upon the box seat of his
coach, or while change of horses was be-

others in the defense of one Mrs. Nc
earthly, on her trial at Utica for the muir
der of a man named Hall of Ogdensburg,
who was killed by bullet from her re-
volver, which was aimed at another man.
Judge Doolittle presided at the trial, and
seemed to believe in the prisoners guilt.
The judge was bitter-and SO was Pom
eroy. The latter made an objection and
insisted upon it rather strenuously. "Mr.
