Capt. Sir Edward Chichester, who
commanded the British ship Immor-
talite at Manila, has been sent to the
scene of hostilities in South Africa,
and will act as transfer officer in Ma
tai. Admiral Dewey brought back
with him from the Philippines the
kindliest memories of the British cap
tain, and when a lion cub was pre-
sented to him while the Olympia lay
in New York harbor, the admiral at
once named it after his English
friend.

More r-arrn-Grown Cattle.

Many thoughtful men throughout the
middle west are much concerned about
the condition of the cattle indy-cry,
says Homestead. Looking over a num-
Der of the states which are largely the
country's reliance for beef supplies, nc
one can fail to be struck by the scarcity
of good cattle. There are cattle, Of
course, but to a large extent they have
been brought from a distance, instead
of being grown on the spot, as should
be the case in the cattle-feeding coun-
try where land is so high that best
cattle are profitable. The western
ranger can go to Texas and buy a
bunch of cattle to feed grasses, and
If he doesn't pay too much for the
cattle is pretty sure to make some
money, for his feed costs him nothing,
and attention and management cost
but little. 1t is not so, however, with
the man who feeds cattle On the farm.
Every bushel of grain they cat rep
resents money; every mouthful OF
grass they comes off high
priced land; every forkful of hay
they are fed means actual outlay in
cash or labor. Under such circum-
stances it is only the best that can
make money. Poor cattle, that is,
poorly bred and poorly gown cattle,
are unable to return q profit for feed
ing on the farm. There is coming to
be a gradual realization of the fact that
only good cattle are suitable for farm
feeding, but to secur the best results
the farmer who feeds must go a step
further and cease to rely on ~range-bred
cattle for his breeding stock. Cattle
to be fed on the farm should be calved
n grown on the farm, and be raised
under farm conditions, and should be
pushed from birth, as it is Impossible
to push range-bred animals. We hope
to see at no distant future this lesson
learned. and we hope, also, for the re-
turn of the time when the beef-groW'
ing states Of the middle west vii
practically furnish their own supplies
of well-bred cattle, bred on the farm
under a realizing sense of how neces'
sary good breeding is to profit, ant

Materials for Writing to BE Improved.

M.lteTIulS TOT NflIlnS 10 DE IJupTOFSus
The pope has invited chemists and
librarians from every part of Europe
to meet at E%insiedlen abbey, Switzer-
land, to consider the question of paper
and ink. The matter is a grave one,
since the records of this generation
will disappear in a time which can be
estimated, unless the materials for
writing be improved. A number of
documents from the archives of the
vatican, it is said, will be submitted
by the pope. These documents are
scarcely decipherable, though they
were dated in the present century.
Perhaps things were worse in Italy
than elsewhere, for it was an incident
in Rome that first called public atten-
ton to the evil. Bearing on this point
the London Mail says: Certain re-
turns were demanded in parliament,
referring to the condition of the army
in 1870. When the war office produced
them they were illegible. In twenty
five years or so the ink had faded and
the paper decomposed. This was an
extreme case, as it turned out after in
quiry, but all the records had deteri-
Grated in an alarming manner. In
some countries, perhaps, greater care
has been used in selecting the quality
of paper and ink, but it is admitted
hat the best will not endure like the
writings OF old. This is a rebuke to
our c%onceit. This age is scientific in
nothing"

Feeding Cattle for Fat shows.

Mr.. Rider Haggard, in his interesting
article in Longman's Magazine on "A
Farmers Year" passes the following
opinion on fat shows and feeding:
To-day l went to Norwich to see the
agricultural show. | cannot pretend
that an agricultural show held under
a roof is a particularly pleasant place
to linger in; there are too many smells,
and too much noise. The Red Polled
classes were strong, the fat steers be-
Ing, some of them, magnificent animals
AS was to be expected, the executors
OF the lamented Mr.. Colman took a
large proportion of the prizes. Out OF
their great herds they are able to pick
and choose; moreover, in such estab-
lishments the rearing of cattle for
show is almost a business. From blrth
till they appear upon the bench, every
delicacy which they can be persuaded
to eat is crammed down the Threats
of these pampered animals, together
with liberal draughts of new milk,
Hood tells me that when he was IN
the service of a gentleman in the
Shires they reared a Shorthorn steer
that took the first prizes at some oil
the largest shows in England. In ad'
dition to all his other nutriment, this
creature was accustomed to have 6
bucket of new milk given to him every
day, with admirable results on his con-
dition. Such treatment means a large
expenditure, with a very problematica
return in the way of advertisement
indeed, as | think | have said else
where, | doubt whether it pays TIT
small man to compete at these grea
shows, however good may be his stock

The Color of Egg-Yolks

Pale-yolked eggs are neither so in
viting in appearance o so nutritious
in quality as rich red-colored ones,
says an English exchange. The princi-
pal deficiency is in iron and phos-
phorus, two elements of primary i'm
portance in the ailment of human be-
ings. Fowls obtain a very large per-
centage of these substances from the
vegetable kingdom, and if the supply
of green food is withdrawn the yolks
very soon assume a pale color. The
deficiency can be supplied to a great
extent by putting some sulphate Of
iron or syrup of phosphates in the
drinking water, but this is not a natu-
raj method, and it is much better to
supply green food in plenty.
Now is the time to buy FLOODED
stock for use as breeders in the
spring. 1t is always better to have
ones own eggs than have to depend
on eggs brought from a distance, no
matter whether the eggs are to be
Matched out under a hen or in an in
cubator. Eggs in transit are exposed
to too many accidents. We have known
a shipment to be delayed for days and
come into the hands of the buyer in
a half rotten condition. The men
that are going into raising pure bred
poultry for the first time sometimes
hesitate as to whether to wait till
spring and buy the eggs for sitting or
buy the fowls and have them lay the
eggs they want. The latter is by all
means the more sensible course. A
rooster and two hens will make a good
breeding pen. The hens will lay
enough eggs before spring to pay for
themselves and the eggs will be had
fresh for Matching. There will then
be no doubt as to their fertility and
purity of breed.

Inside Route to Texas.

Mention was made in these columns
. few DAYS since of the Importance OF
securing aid from the National Gov
eminent for the opening up OF an III
land route from the Mississippi 10
Texas. From a late Washington
despatch we are pleased to learn that
our ever alert young Congressman
Robert f. Broussard has introduced
a bill providing for an additional sur
yev of an inland water route, under
act of March 3, 1878, from Donald
s~onyille. La. to the Rio Grande, fol-
lowing the margin of the Gulf OF
Mexico by means of cuts and canals,
the roure to be used for the purpose
of naval and military or commercial
nurposes, The contemplated route Is
along Bayou Lafourche to the Attaka-
pas Canal, through the canal to Lake
Verret, Flat Lake, Bayou Ieche,
Murphy's Canal, Cote Blanche Yer
million Bay, White Lake and the
canals connecting Mermentau, Calca-
sieu, Sabine and Neches rivers to
Galveston harbor and Indianola har'
Dor. thence to the Rio Grande, q dis
lance of a 1913 miles.
The estimate Of the costAof thu
canal at the time of the first survey
was So, O49, 900. This estimate wonli
be regarded as high to-day, due t.
the more perfect devices now in US
in dredging. Most Of the dredginI
would be through atmarshy countr.
!, lying along the coast and could b
, done both cheaply and expeditiously

A Literary Curiosity.

We received through the courtesy
Of S. f. B. Morse, Esq, Assistant
Passenger Traffic Manager OF the
Southern Pacific Company, q copy OF
The Freedom, the first English news
paper published in the Philippines,
which started shortly after the occu-
patton of the islands by the American
troops. The paper is published at
Manila, and is very interesting. The
columns are very wide and the type
is large, about the size used in the
old time family bible. From the adj
~yertisements we see the beer and
whisky people are already on the
ground and are selling cheap. Being
a silver using country there are two
prices for everything a gold price ano
a silver one. The Southern Pacific
has secured a number of these paper;
which the management is distributing
among its friends as novel and inter
esting curiosities.
