DO Not Sacrifice Your Live Stock
Now.
Many farmers, alarmed at the
shortage of pasturage, as we'll as oats
and hay crops, are already selling
their cattle. The only purchasers at
q low price for speculation, arc deal
ers. In recent years much has been
done to stimulate the growth of live
stock in Minnesota, especially the
cattle industry. These cattle, and
particularly the females, are needed
on the farm. If sold now, how are
they to be replaced? Fat stock of
all kinds is selling at good prices in
the market. While he drouth in
the Northwest ia serious, do not over.
look the fact that Iowa, Nebraska,
Missouri, Kansas and other states
have an abundance of food of all
kinds, and the farmers in
these states will be willing
to pay good prices for stockers in the
autumn months. Keep your growing
stock and do everything possible to
provide food for it. which may be
grown if rain comes soon. Plant
fodder corn as bulletin No. 10 directs,
also other pasturage and forage
foods. Oats and barley mixed, or
oats alone, sown as late as the first
week in July, will furnish large
amount OF pasture. Winter rye eown
at any time between now and the
first of September will also furnish
much pasture. That sown in August
may also be grazed the following
spring. A full crop of rape may be
grown sown as late as the middle ol
July. Rape we'll grown furnishes an
enormous amount OF pasture. Rape
should be sown with a drill if one
suitable can be had, but it may also
be sowu broadcast, using 4 to
lpounds Of seed per acre, anc
tcovered with harrow. Use tn,

wilhin a reasonable time and fooc
cannot be grown and it becomes nee

Changes Oh the OMAHA
Since the announcement Of the re-
sigaatfon of Hugh Spencer from the
position of superintendent of the St.
Paul & Sioux City division of the
Omaha road, considerable speculation
has been indulged in regarding the
future plans of that gentleman. Il
Was reported today that the resigna'
tion was not accepted by the officials
of the road and this caused a great
many people to believe that - MIR
Spencer would reaaain in his present
position. II is said that MIR. Spencer
informed a close friend that he wat
termined TO vethe Omaha 8 employ
Another story that gained circulation
today was one to the effect that Mr.
Spencer will become connected with
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, o.
which Fred D. Underwood, formerly
of the 500, is the general manager
Mr.. Underwood has, since assuming
charge of the b. & O., secured the ser
vices of a number of western railroad
men.
General Superintendent A. w. Tren
holm of the Omaha, passed south ovo'
the road today. He was accompanied
by L. L. Shaker, formerly superintend'
ent of the Eastern division and T. w
Kennedy, trainmaster of the Eastern
division. It was stated by RAILROAD
news vendors that MIR. Shaker is to
succeed Supt. Spencer and Mr.. Ken
nedy is to become Mr.. Slaker's assist.
ant: Nv. G. Winter will be superin-
teIdent of the Northern and Eastern
division, with Mr.. Bennett as his as.
sistaat.

consolidation of some of the bureaus. He
also advocated government built ships and
goyernment-made armor.
Mr. Wheeler, of Kentucky, of the Conn
merce Committee, criticised severely the
rule of the House which prohibited mem
bers from making public on the floor what
was done and said behind committee
doors, and declared himself in favor of
compelling committees to open the doors
to the press. The most vicious legislation
was Matched behind closed doors. He also
opposed, he said, the appointment OF men
with special interests to serve on commit
tees Their desire to serve their constitu-
ents, he said, outweighed their duty to
their country. Upon conviction. Mr.
Wheeler said he was opposed to a gov
eminent armor-piate factory and building
of ships in government yards, but when
it came to surrendering some of his con-
victions or submitting to highway rob
berry he would let some of the former 90.
He was convinced from what he had been
able to learn that the profit on armor
plate was from $50 to 200 per cent.
Mr.. Wheeler created something of a
sensation by expressing the opinion that
IAN officer in the uniform OF the United
States was responsible for the armor-
plate trust. He did not name the officer
and was not questioned as to whom he
meant. General debate was then closed.
AT $50 p. NJ. the House adjourned.
