Grow Good Cattle.


Nearly every farmer can afford to grow
at least few calves, and he should take
pains to grow them good. Even if be
is not yet so situated as to feed regular
ly each year, the young animals are pro-
htable as consumers OF a good deal of
feed for which the farmer cannot readily
find any other market and if good may
be sold to some one who does feed and
for good price, As has been said,
however, they should be good young
cattle, and to this end they should be
we'll bred When one has pastured and
fed scrub steer for a couple of years
and then compares the price he will
bring with that commanded by a good
high grade animal he soon finds that
growing the scrub does not pay. Put
him on the market, either as feeder or
after being fattened for slaughter, in
comparison with good grade of one Of
the beef breeds, and the difference 10
returns is very wide. and justly So The
scrub when prepared for market will be
found to have put on bis fat in the shape
Of Jumps of tallow and around the
paunch, and at those points where he
should carry high-priced beef he has
scarcely meat enough to cover his bones
On the other hand, the improved ami
NAL puts the fat on evenly all through
his substance and it becomes a real part
of bis rich, juicy carcass, improving every
fiber of the salable meat The one of
these animals will be light aud bring
perhaps 1915 per hundred pounds, the
other will be heavy aud bring IS per
hundred pounds. If the scrub is sold
as feeder the man who buys him knows
that this will be the result of fattening
the two kinds Of animals, and he limits
his offer accordingly. If he is sold for
slaughter the purchaser gauges bis Offer
ing by the fact that be is buying an ami
NAL that will make poor beef at best and
little or none of the more valuable cuts.
If the farmer who proposes to grow
calves will bring himself to realization
of the facts outlined, he will understand
why it is that he cannot afford to grow
any other kind than grades, and the |
higher the grades the better.

Keeping Milk Cool in Summer.

The great problem of butter making
10 the summer time is way of keep
ing the milk cool. The only satisfactory
way with the average farm con Senience
is BY using cans that can be set in water
When there is any quantity of milk, it
would pay to build milk house over or
beside the we'll. II the amount of milk
handled does not warrant 80 much ex-
pense, large box to cover the milk
tank containing the cans will answer the
purpose. All it is necessary to do is to
shade the cans from the rays Of the sun.
The tank must be large enough to con-
tain all the cans and sufficient amount
of water besides to insure against its
temperature being affected by putting
in the warm milk. 1t should be deep
enough to allow the water to reach we'll
above the milk in the cans. By arrang-
ing pipes to carry off the surplus water
from the tank into the watering trou CHS
Of the stock, all the water used can be
pumped through the tank, thus chang
ing It several times a day and keeping
it cool A long tank has some advan-
tages over round or square one. There
is not so much danger Of an upset. With
Stats nailed across just far enough apart
to let the can set between them. here
will be no trouble in this line. By hav-
ing several escapes at different heights,
the quantity of water in the tank can be
regulated by means of plugs to close all
but one that allows the water to escape
when it has reaoh he'd the desired height
As each can is not liable to contain a
like quantity Of milk. it is good idea
to have several convenient weights handy
to regulate the weights of the cans A
square TIN box set in the water will make
a good cooler for butter or meats. Jim
l.. Irwin, in The Farmer.

FAIR APPRECIATION.

The Chicago Times Herald has some
thing to say. editorially, on the splendid
speech OF Congressman Littleheld on
the Roberts question We DO not re-
gard that effort as partisan in any
sense. II was constitutional argu-
ment that has never been answered and
cannot be controyerted. The Times
Herald says on Feb. 25
While differing from a majority Of his
party In Congress on both occasions,
Mr.. Littleheld has had the honor and
good sense to reflect the view OF ma
jority Of Republicans throughout the
country
His speech on the admission Of Rob-
erts was far and away the best that
was contributed 10 the debate II was

ment, and Il would have carried the

Moreover. there Is the same reliance
on truth and right, always the most
potent in every discussion.

NO EXCUSE.


Il Is customary with a certain class
Of writer's TO excuse Indecent and i'm
moral exhibitions on the stage, IN news
papers, and elsewhere, on the ground
that the public get just what they want.
It Is admitted that the practice referred
to Is lamentable but the public is to
blame. This excuse Is now made in be-
half OF Olga Nethersole and her play,
Were not public taste as corrupt as It
is. such shows could not be offered.
AS the world Is constituted. Il seems
10 be a recognized principle that of
lenses must come.' but that does by
no means exonerate those through
whom they come On the contrary, II
It is known that the public taste is such
that that which Is worse than poison is
eagerly consumed, the greater Is che
guilt Of those WHO supply the stun for
purely mercenary purposes. He who
furnishes the Indian with iirewater can
not excuse himself on the ground that
the taste OF the savage demands H. and
II there were no demand for It, there
would be no supply. The pleading
would be puerile. but not any more SO
than when the blame for mental de-
bauchery is laid on the depraved public
taste.
The fact is that every preacher, every
actor and actress. every lecturer and
every one who presumes to appear be-
fore the public. either as moulder Of
thought. instructor or entertainer, ought
10 feel morally bound to bring forth
only that which has a tendency TO ele-
vate and purify the public sentiment.
Any other course is really an insult to
the people II the stage no longer aims
at making it's patrons better, Il had bet
ter be abolished. The same may be said
Of the platform and the press. It Is
cowardly 90 charge the degeneration Of
the teacher to the depraylty Of the pu-
pn. What Is the teacher fort Give the
people that which the best class de-
mands. and those who have different
tastes viii gradually experience
change OF heart Much depends on the
purity II the stage, and as much on the
moral tone Of the press.

BLoCTs WAR PREDICTIONS.


At the present junciure OF the war IN
Africa It Is not without interest TO read
what NJ. Bloch. the Russian military
expert. thinks Of the possibilities Of a
naval struggle against Great Britain.
II he is right. q would seem the best in
terests Of that country would suggest
the conclusion OF peace as soon as this
can be done on honorable terms, in or
der to have free hands in other direc-
lions. It appears almost probable that
this Russian writer is doing his best to
encourage Europe to an attack on Eng
land.
His position Is this, that the superior
ity OF the United Kingdom as a sea
power is no guarantee OF its safety
England's all-powerful feet. he thinks
could do no more harm to the German
coast than did the French fleet In 1870.
And against Russia the effect would be
felt even less. France might suffer
some, but not sufficient to intlmldate
the inland population into submission.
NJ. Bloch believes a naval war against
Albion would assume about the same
character as the Boer war Engauds
weak points would be harassed steadily,
and there would be no chance Of
pitched battle. The result would be
that the country would need perhaps
800 cruisers 10 protect her commerce.
The cost Of carrying freight would
cause a rise In the nccessaries OF life
70 such figures as to make them mac
cessible to the people, Under the cir
cumstances the masses would soon rise
against the government and compel II
to make peace at almost any terms.
England is without an extra supply OF
provisions, and as long as she is de-
pendent on the uninterrupted maritime
communication, she win not undertake
a great war, even II she were before
hand assured Of final victory.
NJ. Bloch closes his argument with the
following almost solemn warning.
Unfortunately, these considerations
are overlooked by public opinion in
England, where they pretend not to be
afraid that the prolOngatiOn OF the war
In South Africa and the exhaustion OF
the English forces might tempt certain
countries TO take advantage Of Eng
lands weakness In this event the dan
ger is not for England alone. for the
rivalry among the powers might give
rise 70 serious conflicts in Europe"
II NJ. Bloch Is correct In his estimate
of Great Britain's naval strength and
the danger Of a European conflict, the
British government can do no better
than grasp the first opportunity Of
peace with honor, as otherwise the Afri-
can war may prove only curtain
raiser to a greater and more terrible
drama.

Unable to escape, he made a wonderful
