FEEDING SCRUB CATTLE.
1T Is Largely n Speculation. and One
That Rarely Pays Satisfnc-
tory Profit.

In an able article written by Mr.. T.
F. B. Sotham, and published in the an
nual report of the Kansas state board
of agriculture, he says: Highly salts
factory results have been recorded
from feeding the grades of all the beef
breeds. What a significant lesson is
taught by the preeminent fact that not
one single instance of a profit with
scrubs is recorded. Men who feed
scrubs do not care to advertise their
methods; a profit from them savors
too much of sharp practices. Men who
claim to have made money feeding
scrubs are few, and they are sly in
their operation. They buy anything
cheap; bulls, which they castrate and
dehorn; cock-ho1 ned, stunted three
year-olds are dehorned, in the expec-
tation of palming them off as year
lings-anything to improve appear
ances. Yet the operations Of these
feeders, if carefully investigated, will
show that they never get above mar
ket price for their corn, and men who
have borrowed money to buy this sort
of cattle and fed purchased corn in
variably lost money, while for every
dollar profit made on scrub feeding
the same would have yielded far great
err results if fed to good stock. If in
isolated cases any real profit has been
made from feeding scrub cattle, it has
been Invariably by owners of large
tracts of rich corn ands feeding their
portion of corn, which is mainly raised
by renters. In a majority of years it
is safe to say they do not receive
through their cattle the market price
for this corn, and in lding
years they have such large numbers
that small average profit realizes a
large sum. In this these big feeders
of cheap cattle are like the packers
who, killing thousands of cattle per
day, are satisfied with so small a profit
that small slaughterer cannot live in
competition. Feeding scrub cattle is
largely speculation. Where feeder
does not own the corn, debt free, he
runs a dangerous financial risk. Scrub
cattle should be allowed to fill the
tins, off of grass, and that grass must
be cheap grass, in a country where it
is so plentiful and valueless that cattle
can be kept the year round for pit
lance. In such section they may be
kept with only the loss of the profits
of "what might have been" had better
stock been kept in their place.

when the sheep Have Worms.

Pour turpentine upon salt in the pro-
portion of one pint to a gallon. Keep
this before the sheep for a week, says
DR.. H. p. Miller, in Ohio Farmer. The
next week substitute gentian for the
turpentine, and the following week a
pound of dried sulphate of iron mixed
with a gallon of bran, and a quart of
this mixture given daily to hundred
head for a week The turpentine
should then be repeated. Tartar emet-
ic and santonine are each effective
vermifuges, and should be given in
daily doses of Is grains for a week
when one of them is employed. Re
member that one treatment is not
proof against an after invasion. But
if the flock is once entirely freed from
them and placed upon fresh pasture
where no sheep have been the present
season there will be no further
trouble.

Secretary Of National Letter CsrrIen A.
ISOLATION says Uncle sam 10 Too Exact
Ing Of His Employees

Minneapolis, Mimi, Sept. 25.-At
Wednesdays session of the employ
ers' and employees convention the
principal topic Of discussion was
"the government as an employer"
by E. J. Gainor, of Muncie, Ind, Sec
rotary Of the National Letter Car
riers. He characterized Uncle Sam
as the best employer and the worst
employer. He is exacting in his de-
mands when applications for posi-
ton appear, and after they have
shown special fitness by rigid exam
nation they are consigned to per-
petual dead level of mediocrity.
Torrance v. Powderly, ex-commis-
sioner of immigration, made the Sec
ond address. In speaking of THE
anthracite coal strike Mr.. Powder
ly said that "few people think of the
laboring man until he strikes, and
when they are in danger Of being
affected by the result of the strike.
1t is only when we begin to fear that
we may not have the pleasure of
roasting our shins in front of an
anthracite coal fire next winter that
we realize that we have labor prob
lem to deal with"

pERSHING HAS A TASK.


Manila, Sept. 25.-Capt. John ].
Pershing, of the Fifteenth infantry,
operating against the Moros in the
island of Mindanao, has found the
Nero position at Macin to be strong
and has delayed his attack. He
must throw pontoon bridge across
a swamp and possibly receive rein
forcements before engaging the
enemy. The captain made a recon-
noisance close to the Moro position
and found q fort on an elevation,
close to the lake shore, fanked by
swamps, virtually making an island.
The Americans built RATS prepara-
tory to attacking the Moros from
the lakes and then decided to bridge
the swamp and make an attack
from all sides. The sultans OF Macin
regard the position as impregnable
and have refused to treat with Capt.
Pershing. ~ IkN

WHAT OF THEIR FUTURE3


Columbus, o., Sept. 25.-At the ma
tional insurance convention here
Wednesday the committee on laws
and legislation reported as follows;
"The commissioner of insurance
who has the interest of the insuring
public at heart is to-day more con-
cerned over the present status and
future prospects Of the fraternal So
cieties than over any other class OF
institutions he has under his super
vision. We are told by the actuaries
that the old-time companies promis-
ing $1O,OOO,OOOO0O must have $2,OO0,-
100000 to make them sound. We
find, however, that fraternal socie-
ties promising one-half as much in
surance have but one one-hundredth.
We also know that fraternities are
at one-twentieth of the
cost Of other companies"

Washington, Sept 25,--The sug-
gestion made by President Roosevelt
In his speech at Logansport, Ind,
that a commission Of experts be ap-
pointed to consider probable changes
In existing tariff schedules, to meet
changes in conditions, is said to be
In line with what the president has
urged upon senator's and members
Of congress In recent conferences.
The president believes that the pro-
tective principle has been established
and will never again be seriously
threatened by any party in this coun-
try. He believes that changes, when
they should be made, should be left
to tariff experts.

instrumental in knitting closer the
bonds of Great Britain and America,
so that these countries would stand
together and fight for all that was
good and true.

MALTA IS SUPREME
Five Counties IN Pennsylvania Are
Controlled BY Troops.
PEACE OFFICERS ARE HELPLESS.
For Distance Of Over 100 Miles RiotIng
and Lswlessnsss Continue and Gov.
Stone 10 ConstsntIy Importunsd to
Help Maintain Order.

Philadelphia, Sept. 25.-Of the ten
anthracite coal-producing counties
Of Pennsylvania, state troops are
camped in five. Despite the pres
snce of the troops in these districts
rioting and general lawlessness con-
tinues in the entire hard coal terri
tory from Forest City, susquehanna
county, on the north, to Williams
town, Dauphin county, on the south,
a distance Of more than 100 miles.
The section Of the strike region in
the vicinity Of Forest City, which
has been comparatively quiet ever
since the strike began, was greatly
wrought up by crowds Of strikers in
terfering with and beating men who
had returned to work, and as q re-
suit Sheriff Macy, of Susquehanna
county, asked Gov. Stone for troops
to assist him and other civil authori-
ties to preserve the peace.
At present there are four full regi-
ments, two companies Of another and
two troops Of cavalry in the field.
If the disorder continues Gov. Stone
will be compelled to call out addi-
tional soldiers. While there has been
no big general riot, the disturbances
have been of such serious nature
as to cause the authorities much
apprehension. Every effort is being
made by the sheriffs Of the several
counties affected and the troops to
prevent disturbances from growing
to such an extent as to cause blood
shed. Reports are coming in from
very section Of non-union men and
others being either shot or dubbed,
Houses of workmen have been
burned or dynamited and attempts
have been made to hold up coal trains
or derail them. Coal is being shipped
from many parts of the coal fields
to market, but compared with the
normal output the quantity is insig-
nifcant. The output for this week
will be considerably less than the
average normal production of one
day, which is about 100000 tons.
Asked last night about the request
made by Sheriff Beddall to place

Gen. Goblin answered: II did not

county under martial law would mean
the usurpation of all civil authority
in every municipality. 1t is one Of
the most serious undertakings under
a republican form of government
and I doubt very much its constitu
The sheriff wants to re-
lieve himself of all responsibility,
but the fact that the troops are here
is no reason why he or any other
civil officer should be relieved Of
his duties"

TAFT TO FlLIPINOS.
BE Predicts Virtual Free Trade
with the United Statss.


Washington, Sept. 25.-The bureau
Of insular affairs has furnished to
the press copies of the speech made
by Gov. Taft on the occasion Of the
reception rendered him when he ar
rived in the Philippine islands. In
the course Of the speech Gov. Taft
said: "You can be very sure that
it will be only matter of year or
two before the American duty on
Philippine products will be reduced
to so small figure as to make it
practically free trade. Delays in
congressional action on the tariff
and postponement of the time for
popular assembly are only the out
growth Of a conservatism due to
doubt on>the part of many as to the
real conditions in the islands; a
doubt, I may say, which nothing will
SO quickly dispel as quiet prosecu-
ton Of agriculture and other pur-
suits and an avoiding Of useless polit-
ical agitation for the next year.
