A Glance Into the Future.

Writing from the Union Stock
Yards, Chicago, correspondent
of the Dallas News predicts that
within year or two the packers
of the United States will control
the poultry and egg market and
that they will be in the produce
business as well. The packers
have been handling dressed poul-
try for some time, but not to the
extent that it is stated they will.
1t is argued that they have all
the necessary facilities for increas-
ing their business along the lines
mentioned. They already have
the cold storage plants and the
refrigerator car service. and are
fully equipped to carry on these
additional departments without
having to make any expensive I'M
provements and be required to
use any great amount Of addition
al capital in the business. 1t is
evident that they want to get
closer to the merchant and furn-
ish him with everything possible
in the way of food.
1t would appear that the day
for cheap eggs and poultry in Tex
as is passed. The farmer will be
given an opportunity to do bust
ness with the packing houses as
the cattlemen are doing, and they
wall bring to the market their
turkeys and chickens and sell
them by weight just as the cattle
men in Texas are doing. As to
the vegetable business, it may
take n longer time to get this part
of the business installed, rs it is
a little out Of their lines, but
there is reason in the statement
that they have decided to go into
this line of business and make
double use of their refrigerator
cars. bringing them bnck to the

How to Prevent Group.

1t will be good news to the
mothers Of small children to learn
that Group can be prevented. The
first sign of Group is hoarseness.
A day or two before the attack
the child becomes hoarse, This
is soon followed by peculiar
rough cough. Give Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy freely as
soon rs the child becomes hoarse,
or even after the rough cough
appears, and it will dispel all
symptoms of Group. In this way
all danger and anxiety may be
avoided. This remedy is used by
many thousands of mothers and
has never been known to fail. 1t
is, in fact, the only remedy that
can always be depended upon and
that is pleasant and safe to take.

Reason for Low Prices.

Every delegate to the conven-
ton seen by II Record man YES
terday gave as one of the MAIN
reasons for the present low prices
of cattle the fact that not few
commission houses are being fore
ed by circumstances to call in the
cattle that have been given us Sc
Curlty for money advanced.
1.-The banks are not wishing to
take chances on II presidential
year," SAID one delegate yesterday.
"They are calling on us, and we
are calling on our clients. In II
few instances advances as much as
S27 per head have been made on
steers that are not bringing SIS
when sold. In few instances as
much as $22 has been advanced
on animals that are not bringing
that amount | cannot say how
long this condition will continue.
The banks are demanding u reck-
oning, and we in turn are forced
to demand reckoning. We are
gaining in experience, and are
paying good stiff price for the
knowledge. Between these forced
sales and the unloading of what
appears to be every scrub animal
in the country the market has
dragged until it has reached the
present low plane of prices, -

Live cattle never were so low
and dead ones so high. The
material interests of this great
state depend a great deal on the
prosperity of the cattle raiser.

after. We don't want your ap-
probation; what we want is your
money"
The meeting adjourned with
out further statement or action.
The matter was left where it was
in the beginning.
The men who called the meet
ing and those who attended

tempted conference did not
materialize, and the next effort

Big Heavy Beeves Out Of style.

There have been received on the
Chicago market during the past
three months more beeves weighing
900 TO 1900 lbs. than for any
corresponding period in the last
ten years. Besides this, we have
advices through some of our read
ers of feeders who still have on
hand cattle of extreme weights,
some as heavy as 1000 lbs. though
this of course is rare. Quite
number of feeders seem to have
held their cattle back from day to
day hoping for better markets,
until they have become extreme
ly heavy. OF course they have
missed it badly, and have thrown
away good deal of corn that
could have been fed to lighter
cattle to good advantage.
AS matter of fact, when
steer reaches 800 lbs. he is heavy
enough for almost any purpose.
During the past two years there
has been decided tendency on
the part of exporters TO purchase
lighter grade of cattle than for
merly, they claiming that the de-
mand on the other side of the
water is for smaller carcasses.
There have been days this fall
when the exporters would not buy
steers weighing over 1850 lbs.
and III fact preferred them around
300 lbs.
The buyers for Boston, who in
the old days wanted big 2,O00-lb.
bullocks, in tact they could hard
iy be too heavy to suit, are now
calling for lighter steers. Tastes
have changed and the drift to the
times is Enthusiastically in the di-
rection Of "baby beef" TO illus
trate: one day last week load of
yearllng beeves weighing around
$50 lbs. brought 1915, while
right alongside of them were plen-
ty Of big 500 to 1,7O0-lb. beeves,
that no doubt costs 80 cent to
$l.OO more per 100 lbs. to pro-
duce than did the younger cattle,
going at So. 10 to 1928. This
surely is an object lesson that any
feeder can grasp.
The slaughterer doesn't want
the extremely heavy steer because
he carries an excessive amount of
waste fat, and because his custo-
mers are clamoring for lighter
carcasses, catering in their return
to the consumer, who wants ten
der, toothsome, juicy steaks and
roasts cut from the early-matured
POO to 1,500-pounder In fact
no one wants the big bullocks;
he is obsolete, out of date-and
yet like Banquo's ghost he will
not down.
Nine times out of ten it is good
policy to ship out fattening steers
as soon as they reach the weight
of 1900 lbs. , at the outside, and
often before, and replace them
with lighter set of steers, rather
than to keep on feeding until the
cattle reach the point where their
weight condemns them.-Live

Selling Calves.
Colorado Stockman:

Colorado StOckman:
There is an unusual number of
calves now going to market from
the country west of the Pecos
river as the result Of the unfavor-
able range conditions prevailing
at this time in that section. 1t
is true that large numbers of
calves have been shipped to mark
ct all the season, so many, in fact,
that it has caused an apprehen-
sion of shortage in the future sit
uation. But during the past
week these shipments have assum-
ed much larger proportions than
ever before from the fact that the
ranchmen of a large section of
the range country have awakened
to the fact that under existing
conditions their ranges are great
ly overstocked, and to prevent
almost certain losses, the number
must be greatly reduced.
The market is better for fat
calves than for mother COWS that
have been sucking calves all the
season, and naturally it is the
calves that must go to market.
Some ranchmen are not satisfied
to sacrifice their calf crop, and
where they have the grass and be-
lieve there is possibility of pull
ing through the winter, they are
simply weaving their calves by
separating them from the mother
animals.

CATTLE RAISERS MEET.
But the Independent Packing Com
pany Is not Encouraged
In Texas.

In Texas.
FIT. Worth Worth, Tex, Dec. B.
The meeting called for Tues
day afternoon at the city hall by
the directors of the Independent
Packing company was attended
by about twenty-five men, most
of them being local dealers or
those interested to n greater or
less degree, in the raising or buy
ing of stock. Several were from
a distance.
At 1 80 Mr.. Wilson called the
meeting to order and made n few
Introductory remarks. He said :
"If the Lord is not with us we
are indeed in bad shape. for l
see that the cattlemen are not =.
Briefly, the intention of the COM
pany is to interest the small cat
tlemen and get them to go into a
packing house project, that they
may get lack at the other end of
the line what they lose at this
end-at the range. The decline
in cattle on the hoof is all out of
range with the price of beef in
the cooler. The reason of this is
the strong have combined to take
advantage of the weak"
He then introduced Hon Jerry
Simpson, of Roswell, N. NJ. who
said:
II have come a long ways to
talk to the cattlemen who would
likely be interested in the erec-
ton of an independent packing
house, but cattlemen, like farm
ers, have to get mighty sick be-
fore they send for a doctor. You
are not sick enough now, but you
have II very bad attack. The es-
tablishing of an Independent
packery does not contemplate the
raising of prices, at least for the
next few years; but it does con-
template the paying of dividends
TO the stockmen, which they
otherwise give to the other fellow.
1t will produce, if successful, II
healthy state of competition that
will be to the benefit of all the
people. We do not expect to
break down the prices ali over
the country, in fact, we are CRATE
full to the packing houses for
what they have done for us, and
are doing in handling our cattle.
We could not do without them.
All we want is to 90 and do like
wise. What we want to do is to
learn II lesson of profit from them.
The great steel trust will never be
broken up, for the reason that
they have their feet on the
ground They own the coal, the
iron, the roads and everything
else that goes into the manufac-
ture of steel. What the cattle
men want to do is to follow their
example, and get their feet on
the ground. Cattlemen are
scattered, and are hard to get to-
gether on any proposition, but
they must come to it. Even the
bartenders have a union; / don't
know what they need protection
from, ! never saw saloon but
what could stand alone, though
the customers sometimes can't.
"There is no reason why the
raising of cattle could not be
made more profitable in the
United States-protitable to the
raiser. The very principle Of
self-interest will bring out this
project. There is no reason for
the farmer to walk the floor

Waterbury Democrat., 1903-01-20

It is quite evident that most mem- bers on the republican side of the sen ate are delighted with the setback which the attorney general has admin istered to the cause of antitrust legis- lation, says a Washington correspond ent. They have from the first de- sired to avoid all antitrust legislation. Forced by the determined stand of the president and his announced purpose to call the next congress in special ses- sion if nothing was accomplished at this session, the republican leaders consented to give the matter consider ation, stipulating, however, that any measure which would pass the senate must be extremely conservative, in other words, must prove innocuous to their favorite corporate interests. Now that a member of the. presidents cab inet has taken, occasion to hold up the measure and postpone it's considera- tion until a later date, the sentiment is growing that it will be possible to pass the matter over and then say to MT Roosevelt that he is responsible for the failure to legislate on the sub- jects as earlier in the session the sen ate was ready to give the matter due considerati tion.

FEAR BEING THOUGHT QUEER.

The fear of being thought peculiar prevents great many people from reaching the limit of their possibilities. These people can endure unmerited blame and even calumny with fortitude. They are patient under great trials, and are not afraid to face difficulties, noble in many ways, and weak, perhaps, only in this one point Fear of ridicule, of being thought different from other peo- pie, appears to be the one vulnerable spot in their armor They seem to rid themselves of the idea that they excite comment everywhere because of their supposed peculiarities
 Nine times out of ten this "queer- ness" is a disease of the imagination, and has no real existence. The victim of such morbid condition of mind must he his own physician. The veriest tyro in the worlds ways must know that men and women are too busy with their own affairs. too much occupied with selfish cares to think much about him, whether he is like or unlike other people of his acquaintance. Rest as- surea-they are not watching you or an- alyzing your words and movements. Be your natural self as far as you can, and do not trouble yourself about what oth- CTS think or say of you. Do what you think to be right, and give yourself no concern as to what others think of your words or actions, and you will fihd that your stqueerness" will soon fall away from you.-Success.

ABOUT THE MORGAN INTERESTS

Tn September, 1902, the Morgan in- terests controlled 55,555 miles or Anler- ican railways, or more than the nie- age of Germany, Great Britain ana Ire land combined. These lines nave capitalization of $3,O02, ,949,57l, Whlch is more than three times the total ln- terest bearing debt of the Unloeu States In addition, the Morgan 1nhu- ence is powerful in almost all the other important railroad systems or the couh- try. The direct Morgan interests 1n- clude eighteen railroad systems, one monster steamship company, thirteen industrial combinations, seven DanKs' three telegraph and cable companies, seven great insurance companies, ana innumerable smaller corporations or divers kinds. The total capitalization of these various combinations Is $6,- AS, 800, ,0O0--an amount greater than the national debt of any country in the world. and twice the, debt of Great Britain. The capital of single one or the Morgan companies-the United States Steel corporation-is equal to about twice the cost of the Boer war, and it's net profits for the current year are estimated at 100000, sum about equal to the annual cost of the British navy, and but little short of the total revenues of Spain. The aggregate net income of all the Morgan corpora tions is probably nearly or quite equal to the public revenues of any of. the great powers of Europe, and the taxes on those companies pay the entire cost of maintaining the executive depart ments of New Jersey.
 But Mir Morgan does not depend on the dividends of his stocks for the bulk of his income. His chief busi- ness at present is promoting on g1- gantic scale. When he organized the underwriting syndicate that launched the United States Steel corporation, 1 the subscribers were pledged, ii called upon, to pay in S2OO,O00,OOO. They actually advanced only $25,OOO,- GOO, and that was returned in the f1s nal settlement. Their profit on this investment was $56,0OO,OO0, or over 200 per cent. The share of J. F.

The mere magic of his name floats a company, and his clients gladly pay him half a million
 or five million dollars for the service
 He has knack of inspiring conf dence The people who trust him with their money--and he operates chiefly with other peoples money, not with his own-do not try to tie his hands with contracts. They let him alone to use his brain in their behalf | satisfied that in due time the cheeks will be forthcoming.-S. B. Moffet, il | Success.
