REARING AND FEEDING
CATTLE ON FARMS.

tice, however. has been wholly changed
since this discovery, and now the mar
kets are filled with what might be termed
half fed cattle. and none older than a
year and half or two years.
This is "a very important matter to
study. For there may be only one year
of stall feeding, and two years on grass
or other pasture, needed to fit a steer
for market at the age at which it brings
the most profit to the feeder. This
simplifcs this business very much, and
this fact is either not we'll known, or
is not understood. many farmers have
discarded the thought Of feeding cat
tie on this account. One who has not
known of, or understood this fact and
the changes which have occurred by rea-
son of it, must we'll consider this pres
ent condition of this business, by which
the feeding has been greatly reduced in
cost, and at the same time the stock
itself comes to market in more profit
q BILE condition on account of the smaller
waste IN the young animals. All these
facts go to show the farmer how much
more profit there is now in rearing cat
tie than there has ever been before, in
these lines of less cost and better values
in the market, for these more cheaply fed
animals.

FORTY ARE INDICTED
A Combination to Raise Price
Of Coal.
The Conclusion Arrived at by the Grand Jury
lnvestig eating the Fuel Shortage at
Chicago.
(By the Associated Press.)

Chicago, Jan. 17.-Forty indictments
have been voted by the special grand
jury, which, during the last week, has
been investigating the causes for the
shortage of coal in this city. No names
were given out, it being declared by
States Attorney Deneen that inasmuch
as the indictments had been merely
voted and net returned, no list of the
accused men would be announced before
10 O'Clock Monday morning, when the
Jury will reconvene. 1t is said that
among the men against whom it is the in
tention to return indictments are many
who stand high in the business and social
world This fact was given by the State
attorney as one of the reasons why no
list of the accused men would be given
out tonight.
In analyzing the evidence to which it
has been listening for a week, the jurors
believed they had found combination
existing between the operators, the job
bers and wholesalers ard the retailers,
covering the course of the coal supply
from the mines to the consumer. They
also found the understandings existing
between the operators of the various
States the Illinois Coal Operators AS
sociation and the Northern Illinois Soft
Coal Association being in colluson with
the Indiana Ccal Operators Association
in an attempt to govern the whole
tituminous supply Of the two States.

TWO BOILERS BLOW UP.
Two Men Killed, a Dozen Injured and Much
Camage Done.
(Bv the Associated Press.)

Grccnvillc, Mich, Jan. 1.-Two boilers
in the Ranncy Refrigerator factory
as Factory A, blew up at II o'clock to-
day, killing two men, injuring more than
q dozen others and causing an estimated
money loss of $4,000. The dead are:
Charles Price, engineer, aged 40, mar
ried R. A. Stanton, fireman, aged 30
married.
The factory at which the explosion
occurred is a three story brick struc-
ture. 800 feet long and about 14O feet
wide. The boiler room was located in
a structure adjoining the main building
separated from it by brick wall. When
the boilers let go the force Of the eX-
plosion was eXcrted outward, but the
side of the factory next to the boiler
room tumbled in ruins, tons Of brick
falling over toward the engine room and
burying the engineer and his fireman
deep in the debris.

riage is a Very serious business. anG
my observation has been. that those
made among the well-to-do common
people are generally happier than those
made in cities among the families OF the

on themselves make better husbands and
better wives than those raised in luxury
1t is mighty hard for a man to racasc
his wife and keep her in good humor ii
she has been petted by her parents and
never knew want and had no useful
work TO do. She soon takes the ennui

young girl who never cleaned up her

clothes or helped to nurse her mothers
baby and did nothing but dress and visit
and go to the theater will never make a
good wife. This wife and mother bust
ness is hard work. The mother of six,
eight or ten children has seen sights. She
knows what care is and anxiety and
sleepless nights and one of these butter
fly women can't stand it. One child will
dry her up ard two will about finish
her and if it was not for condensed milk
the children would perish to death like
the calves in Florida, where the cows
don't give enough milk to color the cof-
fee and they have to raise the calves on
the bottle.

1t is commonly supposed that profit
from the feeding Of live stock can only
be made by the large farmers who have
extensive feeding fields. and the best of
grass pastures, along with ample sup
plies of grains for the finishing of the
stock But, as in all our other indus
tries a certain division of labor occurs
spontaneously, indeed Of necessity, in
this business. Thus there is the breed
er and feeder of the stock, who brings
the animals into good fair condition for
the final finishing, and the final feeder
who finishes the work; for there is a
division of labor in this industry, as in
all others, by which the fullest profit is
made for all concerned. This division
of labor makes it very convenient for
both parties concerned, as it avoids
large investment of capital and exces-
siyc labor, which would interfere with
the conduct of any but extensive farms
ana outfits. But on any ordinary farm
OF q hundred acres one may rear quite
a number of young cattle to the begin
ming of the second year, when they are
ready for the final feeding, by which
they are fitted for the block at the end
Of the second year. And in a majority
of instances, excepting those in which
some special culture is predominant in
the management OF a farm, a few or
more head may be fed for the butcher
every year with the easy doubling of the
money made by the same work or en-
ergy expended in other ways. And
the feedin~ is done mostly in the win
ter, when there is leisure from other
work, the labor involved is simply
saving of time to useful purpose instead
Of wasting it. In fact, that old princi
pie of action we'll described by that
pithy quotation which should always be
present in every farmers mind, and be
made a spring of action at all times, to
the effect that the feeding of cattle is
the most important part of agriculture,
light we'll rule instead of being, as it
now is a rare thing to be seen in the
ordinary business farm To grow grain
and hay for sale is simply slow, but
very certain way OF selling the land for
a song, as the saying goes, and this paid
Iv small inSta llmentS yearly for a GER
tain series of years: But surely in the
end the fertility of the land is wasted
TO no profit, and unless supported by
the purchase of costly fertilizers it dis
appears in time, and the owner 700 dis
appears in the western wiids, to begin
q new life on tie same principle. Thus
it is the only true and sure economy for
every actual farmer by whatever method
of culture he works his land, to feed
as many head of stock for the market
as his means permits. Let us study these
figures with care.
Money value of the manure made from
one ton of the following foods fed to
The farmer and mechanic. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 18??-19??, 1903-01-20

These figures represent the value or
the resiiuc OF the kinds of foods men
toned. left after feeding one ton, not
the value of the foods themselves. 50
that the feeder Of ton of any of them
gets the actual value of them as food,
in the growth of the animal and the
sums mentioned in addition in the man
IRE left by the undigeSted matter Tolded
by tho animal, as we call it, manure.
This IS the principal reason why the
feeding of animals NAV be made to give
two profits to the feeder, and we must
remember that this appertains to the
Young animals reared, as we'll as tc
Them during the final feeding for the
finish. Just here we might very use
fully consider the fact that this manure
left by fattcning animal has several
1aluable uses in addition to the contro-
button of the principal elements of plant
food usually counted in the figures
above mentioned. For instance, there
is a large quantity of organic matters
existing in the manure, which go to
add indirectly to the fertility Of the
soil b. means of the chemical action
which thcv exert on the actual mineral
elements of it. For in their decay there
arc various gases produced by which in
Crt mineral constituents of the soil are
dissolved or made soluble, and so. avail
able for plant food. These have never
been counted in by the agricultural
chemists who have anaIyzed these man
urcs, and whatever indirect benefit the
feeder Of animals gains in this Wav is
additional to the values given in the
figures above stated. So that those fig
urcs arc actually the minimum, and not
the total. Of the whole advantage gained
by the feeder of animals for the market.
It Is in this way that the old adage
above quoted. is not only justified, but
oven improved upon when the whole
benefit rainod is understood.
All this aDpertains to the feeding of
tho cattle solely But we have to think
OF the advantages derived from the rear
ING Of these from birth, when this may

! Columbia, S. c., Jan. 17-After a day
OF anxiety to the friends Of Editor y. G
Gonzales Of the State, who shot
down and sore1y wounded on Thursday
afternoon by Lieutenant Governor James
II. Tillman, reports tonight from the
hospital are encouraging, though not as
suring of his Improvement and possible
recovery. During the early afternoon
there was very grave apprehension for
the life of the wounded man, and at
one time practically III hope had been
abandoned. but there has appeared ray
of hope and a the present time there
is some indication Of a favora bic out
come.
Too strong expectations should nos be
INDUCED, for the condition of Mr.. Con
zales is still exceedingly grave, and at
any moment disturbing symptoms may
surervene, but the physicians now hold
out some announcement TO the friends
of the wounded man.
DR.. W. Gill Wyle, of New York, who
was called into con3u!ta tion in the case,
and who has been in attendance since
yesterday morning. left this afternoon
for Rock Hill, stating that he was better
satisfied with the condition of MT. Con
Zales than he had been at any time
since he first had seen him. He will be
within telephone call. and is prepared
to return to Columbia at any time he
may be needed The chief concern this
afternoon was caused by an obstruction

wound would have to be re-opened and
an injection made to relieve this.
