It's Made a MisdemeanOr.

President Roosevelt's refusal to buy
horses whose tails had been locked has

Browns Corner Suggestions

We read in the Bible that Joshua COM
manded the sun and moon to stand still
for nearly a whole day that the people
might avenge themselves upon their ene-
mics.
We also read in the SOMERSET RE-
PORTER that the county officers com.
manded the liquor dealers of Skowhegan
to refrain from selling liquid damnation
during the Terrio murder trial, that the
witnesses might keep their brains from
becoming bef0gged by imbibing too free
ly of Skowhegan whiskey.
Now Mr.. Editor, will you be kind
enough to tell US why the officers of the
law cannot command the liquor dealers to
stop selling their vile stuff for longer
space OF time that the men who have
to earn their living by hauling wood etc.
to your town may do so and return to
their homes and families sober minded
and with the proceeds OF their days labor
in their pockets or its equivalent In some
of the necessaries OF life, rather than
spend the precious hard earned dollars
for poor whiskey which degrades their
manhood and takes the bread from their
needy ones at home. Surely the laws
of our State are a farce and the rumsel-
lers and the officers are the principal act
ors.
In most of the murders committed 10
our State there is distinct smell of whis-
key plainly observable through it all
Why prohibit at the trial? Do the peo-
pie OF Skowhegan want to manufacture
murderers In their midst? None can tell
who the next victim will be. And at
whose door shall the fault be laidP Who
shall pay the penalty?
Oh! rumseller, cease your nefariou'
traffic in human souls, that the money
which falls into your Golfers, instead may
buy bread and clothing for the innocent
abused ones, that men may know what
true manhood is and woman become
purer by your elevation of mind and
body, Cor.

A we'll known buyer of hay stated one
day recently, what may not have been
fully appreciated by the majority of those
who have hay to sell or those who have
1t to buy, and that was that the last sea-
sons crop is far from berg as good as
that of the year previous. La speaking
of the matter he claimed that the early
spring OF this year had caused the grass
to get much earlier start while the far
mers did not begin cutting their hay any
earlier than formerly. After they COM
menced the work Of haying bad weather
came on and for week there was bnt
little opportunity to harvest hay. The
result is now found when it comes to
pressing hay in the lack of weight to
each bale which amounts to from 10 to 20
pounds when compared with the hay
grown the year previous. The hay, on
an average, is far from being of as good
quality for feeding purposes and when it
Is placed IN the market does not bring the
price of first quality hay. The gentle.
man is of the opinion that while the far
mers are studying the best methods to be
pursued in raising hoed crops they should
also give their attention to what consti-
tutes the best time to cut hay in order to
get the greatest possible good fram feed
ing 1t to stock. He looks to see this mat
ter receive more consideration in the
future.

The Cattle Outlook

1t can't be otherwise than that the cattle
industry will continue to be good for years
to come. In 1892 there was the largest
number of cattle in proportion to popula-
ton ever known in the conptry. Since
that time the animals on the farms and
ranches have been on the decrease, and
the decline in numbers has not been yet
checked. There is at the present time less
stock in proportion to population than for
any time in the last forty years. The de
mand for beef and all cattle products was
never so great as now. Under any posi-
bic conditions il will take years OF time to
overcome this shrinkage in numbers OF
cattle. Then after the shrinkage has been
checked it will require many other years
OF time to increase in any considerable
measure the proportion OF cattle to the
population. 1t cannot therefore be other
wise than that cattle values will continue
at profitable range for an indefinite num-
Der OF years to come. The young farmer,
or the old one, is now on the right track
who is building up herd of good cattle.
1t is good cattle that will be wanted.
Set the ideals high and breed to that mark
1t is easy for the man with money to burn
to go out and buy model animals. The
man on the farm should so master the
business that he can multiply these models
in his own herd. 1t is always the good
cattle that make the money for the breed
er and feeder. The golden opportunity
is now at hand Many of our farmers
have already caught on TO the situation.
Herds of pure bred cattle of the different
breeds are multiplying all around us.
There is room for sill more.

The Age of Horses.

Horses occasionally reach great age.
On Oct. Q. 1879, horse belonging TO
Mr. Auldjo. of Cowes, Isle of Wight,
died at the age of IS years He had
been a pensioner for some time before
his death, not from infirmity, but because
he had earned rest after long life of
work. Mr. Tay. livery stable keeper in
Birmingham, lost mare 80 years old on
Ian. Q, 1864 she worked constantly, and
often hard, to the last In November,
1866 the Iverness Couriea mentioned
that 34-year old horse, belonging to a
Mr.. Cumming, was still in work. This
veteran had done 26 years work 10 a
coach team between Perth and Auch-
terarder. Mons. Colles-Gattelet, of the
Consei General of the Mouse Depart
ment, in 1862 lost an old favorite at the
age OF 45 years. The record among
horses, however, is held by Old Paramat-
ia, the property of Mr.. Joseph Kaye, OF
New South Wales. Old Paramatta died
on Aug 8 1874 aged So, a victim to the
severe winter He did an occasional
days work to within few weeks of his
death II may be added that the age OF
this horse was well authenticated. as
when he arrived at his SYST year, pains
were taken TO ascertain when he was foaed.

The precise cause of the trouble be-
tween Chill and Argentina is not clear
from the dispatches. Apparently Chill
has undertaken to construct strategic
roads in some disputed territory and is
meeting with opposition from Argentina.
Chill is the strongest nation in military
way in South America, but she Is hated
by the other States, and If war should
break out she would probably have to
fight several other States besides Argen-
tina. Chill has expressed willingness to
accept the good offices of this country,
but Argentina apparently prefers Eng.
land. The prevailing opinion Is that wal
will be averted, but war springs up In
South America very easily.
