Fattening Horses for Sale,

Fattening horses so that they will
reach market in good condition for
sale Is quite an important industry in
some regions. says C. F. Langworthy.
For instance, in Iowa, there are a
number of feeders who thus prepare
large numbers of horses for the Chi.
cago market, and officials of the Iowa
Experiment Station have gathered
some data on the subject. The gen.
eral practice is to feed generously and
give little exercise. With proper feed.
ing and care, as many as a dozen
horses Of lot fed for market have
in some instances made an average
gain Of 3.75 pounds per head per day
Somewhat larger gains have been
made under exceptional circumstances
throughout a period of ninety days

TEMPERANCE IN THE SOUTH.

So much noise is made over the tenn
perance question and the enforcement
of anti-llauor laws in our northern
States that the general public has been
able to hear and know but little about
the progress of such laws in the south,
where more actual advancement has
been made in overcoming the evils OF
the liquor traffic by legislation than in
any other part of the Union. Local
option by counties has been progress
sing all through the south for many
wears until the larger parts of the States
of Kentucky, Alabama, Georgia, Mis-
sissippi and Louisiana have been
brought practically under prohibition:
One NAV travel entirely across some OF
these States, it is said, without passing
through single saloon district. Even
Texas, which, in years gone by, very
uniustly gained the reputation OF being
loose and lawless, has been almost cap
tured by the prohibitionists. Three
fourths of the State is now SAID TO be
under the local option law, excluding
all liquor. To be more precise, OF the
236 counties of the State 104 are wholly
dry. and of the remainder IA are largely
dry, very many of them wholly dry save
the county seat, and only 5S are wholly
wet. And the counties that are either
wholly or largely dry represent total
population of 2,21S,O39, while the wet
counties represent only 725,S25. a
movement is now on foot in Texas to
pass a prohibitory law applicable to the
whole State, and on the basis OF the
figures quoted it looks as If the thing
would be done. 1t may thus happen
that while Vermont and New Hamp-
shire. on our northern border, have
actually abandoned prohibition, the
great commonwealth on the southWest
will take it up, and. what is more, VIII
be likely to enforce it, affording the
rest of the country unique ob]ect les

TO BEAT ANTISALOoN LAWS.


Liquor Dealers Raise Millions to Defend
Their Interests.
With millions behind them the sa-
loon-keepers and liquor dealers of the
United States have declared bitter war
upon all who antagonize them in their
business. A defense fund of $4,000 600
will be raised throughout the country
before the legislatures are in operation
this winter, and S750,000 of this fund
will come from New York State.
Last winter the New York legisla-
ture raised the license feesin New York
city from $500 to $3.50, and as a mat
ter of retaliation the saloon-keepers
say they defeated Mayor Low. They
declare that if they had been properly
equipped with defense fund last win
ter they could have prevented the pas
sage of the antagonistic legislation,
and henceforWard they propose to be
prepared for any similar emergency.
At the liquor dealers national con
vention a month ago, the plan for a
national fighting fund was agreed upon,
and since then several State organlZa-
tions have ratified the action of the ma
tional body Alta meeting of the central
organization of the New York city Wine,
Liouor and Beer dealers Association
held yesterday in Terrace Garden, a
resolution was adopted approving the
defense fund plan and fixing New York
States contribution at S750,000.
1t was announced that this money is
to be raised by tax label to be put on
every package of liquor and barrel OF
beer, but some of the dealers sad the
label would probably not be used. They
stated that the money would be raised
by regular assessment upon each sa-
loon keeper in every district. In New
York city every police precinct is a
district in the Liquor Dealers Associa-
ton. In Manhattan alone there are
six thousand members of the associa-
tion in good standing, so it will be seen
that the assessment upon each dealer
in the State will not be very burden
some in order to raise the required
$75O,OOO. If drastic legislation should
be attempted again in Albany tins WIN
ter it is said that the fund in this
State might be doubled If necessary

DEC. 2, 1823-DEC. 2, 1903.
These two dates are outer milestones,
And the last seemed far away
When you started on life's pathway
For the one you reach today.
Looking back to early childhood,
Where the light began to gleam,
How these four-score years seem fading
Into one brief, sweet day-dream.
Thirty-five is called the average
Of mans years upon life's shore,
But that point lies far behind you,
Half century and more.
While you still are pressing upward
Toward the century's rugged height,
Twenty years will bring you safely
To its crest, so near in sight.
Do you say "I'll never reach it,
l shall falter by the way.
For the lengthing shadows whisper,
Closing is your pilgrim day."
When your earthly sun is sinking,
May it set the heavens ablaze,
AS an emblem of the glory
Yours shall be through endless days.

 Attracting Much Attention.
 There have probably been few cases in Jefferson county that have attracted such widespread attention as that of William Wise and Glen Havis, charged with the murder of Elias Lathem in the corridor of the Morris hotel on April 1T. both be- cause of the prominence of the partlci- pants In the tragedy. and the peculiar circumstances attending the killing.
 William Wise Is a dealer in wines and liquors and Glen Havis is a well known gambler. The two have been close friends for a long time, and evidences of their intimacy were brought out at the pre- liminary hearing given them before Jus tice of the Peace I. H. Benners on April 2s.
 The evidence at the preliminary trial brought out the fact that they went to the Morris hotel together on April IT., that they met Elias Lathem and quar- relied, that Wise used a slung shot in beating Lathem, that Havis shot and killed Lathem as the latter was going out of the lobby to the bar, and that pis- tol was found under Lathem by those who picked him up
 Soon after the killing Joseph R. Rubel was arrested enlarged with complicity in the crime. MT. Rubels wife Is the sister of Wise. Rubel was released, however, as the charges were not sustained.
