Our Cattle-Raising Industry.

a correspondent OF the Nat1Onai
Farmer writes at some length on this
subject, but what he says refers to
and Northwest. Although we have
more favorable climate than any other
state i'm the Union, yet Florida is far
in the rear in the cattle business. So
much so that Florida beef has been
proverbial for its tough fibre and
poor quality. That this was necessary
has been shown by the production of
as good beef in this state as was ever
brought from any Northern state.
We hope that it will not be many more
years before the importation of beef
will cease, because our own is so
much better, that it will not be profit
able to bring it down here.
The cattle-raising business as we
know it today is a strictly modern
development. The countless millions
of people who consumed cattle during
all the past centuries, except the last
one. were cOntented to take the cattle
they could get. If they were tough,
they chewed them the longer. The
cattle-raising industry was slow in
DEVELOPMENT. In the early days of
this country sheep, hogs and poultry
were more generally consumed than
were cattle. The cows were kept
for milk production till they were
aged, while the bulls were ''steered'
and trained into oxen. The land
along the Atlantic coast first settled
was admirably adapted for this kind
of development.
The early cattle markets did not
ask for what we term finished cat
tle.'' They took what came handy
and that generally meant 'grassers.'
Corn was used for human food more
than for feeding cattle, and the do
mestic consumers had not expected
any other kind of beef. We have a
like state of affairs today in Western
Canada, where the only cattle on the
local markets are ''graSSers."
During the past 100 years the sys-
TENS of feeding cattle have been
undergoing constant changes. The
opening up of the great plains of Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois, with their at
first poor transportation facilities.
made it possible to put on the market
a high class of beef product. This
was due to the fact that on these
plains was raised a large amount of
corn that had little value except for
stock feeding, and also to the fact
that i'm that region the horse had
taken the place of the OK and the
steers were made into beef rather
than developed for labor. The cheap
~.
pasturage helped greatly i'm the de
velOpment of the beef animal of that
period.
The extension of the corn belt to
the West extended the area for the
producing of high-class beef, which
was at the same time cheap, As soon

The republican press of the country re-
fuses to stay on the right track very long.
The result ofthe Chicago election, which
was declaration for municipal owner
ship of public utilities, is now being
widely lambasted as step towards social
ism and predictions that the democratic
party will plunge into an orgy of freak
ish isms are now being industriously cir
culated. This Is theme on which the
so-called conservative element of the
democratic party harped long and dolor-
ously, and with such success. that the
party yielded to the importantly of con-
servatism and turned over the party man.

incidentally, to the biggest Waterloo in
the party's history.
The only vital force in the democratic
party today is TO be found in its radical
wing, and the same is true of the repup.

lies in his departure from his party's
presidents. 1t isn't SO long ago since the
lviceroy Of republican president, whose
word was law in bis party, said "There
are no trusts" Today republican pres.
ident says we must curb corporate power;
that corporations must obey the law. A
republican president wants government

with vengeance. Such sentiment
would have been almost anarchical In the
time ofRoosevelt's predecessor, but today

THE DOGS COLD NOSE.


Its Origin, According to the Los
Book of Noah's Ark.
1.-THE true story Of the dogs cold
nose has been handed down to us sail
ors from the log book Of the ark" says
sailor In the New York Times. Mrs.
Noah went down one morning to the
potato bin In the lower hold for the
vegetables required for the monday
meal. Her favorite collie dog, Nip. fol-
lowed her, as was his daily custom.
While Mrs. Noah was sorting out the
tubers the ark cellided with q small
Bnag, which punctured small hole In
her side close to where the lady stood.
Seeing that immediate action was nee
essary, she took OF her wooden petit
coat and apron and stuffed them into
the hole, but the pressure of the water
them back again and sat on them, call
ing loudly for assistance. But no one
seemed to hear her, as the animals
were making such noise. In her po-
sition she leaned back SO that the
backs of her arms were pressed up
against the cold sides of the vessel;
hence the backs of women's arms are
always cold. The water was coming
in fast, and she began to fear for the
safety Of the ark. so she jumped up
and, grabbing Nip. put his nose into
the hole and babe him stay there until
she went to the fore hatch and shout
ed for help. A carpenters mate heard
hor MI no mo 6oxryy, into tho hold With
a soft pine plug, released poor Nip and
stopped the leak. The water outside
was very cold, and Nip got cold nose,
and hence all healthy dogs have cold
nose"

The great remedy for all public evils
nowadays is investigation" which
amounts to a lot Of newspaper talk and
then falls fiat and things go on as before,
with the concern investigated" still
doing business in the same old way. A
case in point is the beef trust, which
Commissioner Garfield ''investigated''-
aud that's all that was ever done. This
same Commissioner is now investigating
the Standard Oil trust in Kansas, and the
result will probably be the same as his
efforts against the beef trust. Besides
the work of Garfield a grand jury in
Chicago is applying this same investiga-
ton panacea to the beef trust, then a
committee of the New York Legislature
has been investigating Rockefeller's gas
companies in New York city;,a special
committee is investigating the Equitable
Life Insurance company, and several
other States are to give it a similar treat
ment; railroad rebates are to be inyesti
gated by the U. S. Senate committee,
and so on without end. Meanwhile the
people continue to do the bidding of the
trusts. no matter whether the particular
concern against which there is a griev-
ance is of the investigated" or uniuves-
tigated type. And so it will be until the
peopletake matters in their own hands and
compel their law makers in Congress and
the Legislatures to enact the most strin-
gent of laws for the regulation of these
commercial freebooters. who owe their
existence in the business world to fran.
chises and grants obtained by corrupt
methods from municipal, state and
national legislative bodies.

The Internal regions Of Buddhism

the Buddhist temples, men are ground

molten iron.
Islamism says Of the internal re-
gions: "They who believe not shall
have garments of fire fitted for them.
Boiling water shall be poured on their
heads and on their skins, and they
shall be beaten with maces Of IRON"
