The Chinese learned quickly enough how
best to hit the American people. They
found the peoples tenderest spot In their
pockets, and they found the peoples own

they wished to call attention to the unjust
convictions OF violation Of the exclusion

The chief trouble with the special
election in the First Nebraska district
is that neither the governor nor the
attorney general were able to guess cor
rectly in advance what a decision of
the supreme court was to be. But then,
the judges themselves sometimes find
it difficult TO tell which way a forth
coming decision is to face.

twenty interest coupons to be clipped at

able" and another agreement guarantee

turn of 1892 at the end of ten years.

agreed that 20 per cent OF all payments

was an alluring one and was set forth
In the company's literature in a style that

The company's booklet described IL as "A
combination Of old ideas made into a new
and useful idea, designed for you to make
life easier for you to live, to make life
easier for those dependent upon you to
live, to make death easier for you to bear"
Who could resist after reading these ten
der lines, particularly the last sentence?
Throughout the sixteen pages following
were equally attractive periods artistically
rounded, with few figures here and there
to give the words a statistical finish. The
point of the new and useful idea" was
that the company promised a 5 per cent
profit on the investment and agreed to loan
money at what 1t claimed was per cent
per annum. But the company's literature
does not tell all that an investor should
know, nor did It uncover the little Jokes"

better than they anticipated. The measure

or individuals securing money on the in

requiring them to show that the scheme

| that the hackers were financially able to
perform what they agreed to do. The
idea was to check the growth of ire

| the control of the state on terms similar
to savings banks, insurance companies
and building and loan associations These
institutions are required to make a proper

| Although the law has been in operation
| nearly two years, none of the installment
! companies then in existence were able to
make satisfactory showing under the
terms of the law. on the contrary, an

ShOeing Horses.

A pernicious practice among shoers
Is that Of opening the heels" which
weakens the hoof and sometimes
cause heel cracks, which are even
more obstinate to treat than quarter
cracks, says a veterinary surgeon in
Breeders Gazette. Opening the
heels" is supposed to overcome con-
traction of that part of the hoof. but
1t is more likely to help it along under
usual conditions than it is to over
come it. Another point that should be
carefully watched in preparing the
hoof for the reception Of the shoe is
to have it level. IL either inside or
outside OF the hoof is left too long it
changes the direction Of the line Of
weight and subjects some portion or
portions of the extremity to undue
strain Or pressure and the consequent
liability to injury.

F'attenfng Beef Cattle.

Professor W. A. Henry, whose repu-
tation as an authority IN cattle feeding
cannot be doubted, suggests that Amer
lean cattle can be fattened upon much
less grain than our feeders generally
give them, says American Cultivator.
He says that many feeders in the
western and middle states give to their
fattening stock from twenty to thirty
pounds and sometimes thirty-fve
pounds q day Of cornmeal. while in
England and Scotland they seldom use
more than six or eight pounds a day.
They give with this from fifty to a
hundred pounds of sliced roots, usually
rutabagas. four to five pounds of straw
and from five to ten pounds of hay.
They claim to send as good meat to
market as we can furnish them. which
we may not doubt, but we are not sure
thai we can grow the turnips as the
corr which we feed here and whether
beef animals fed upon turnips would
stand transportation as well, either
alive or as dressed meat, as those fat
tened on corn. Professor. Henry thinks
ensilage should take the place in our
stock feeding that roots do in Eng
land.

Care of Pure
Bred Cattle

IL is plain that some men who buy
pure bred animals for the farm do not
know how to take care of them, says
scrub animals.
Therefore there is absolutely no
sense in any farmer purchasing pure
bred stock unless he has his mind full
~ made up to give it pure bred care.
This is very much of an old story, but
the admonition cannot be too frequent
~ repeated. This should not discour-
age any farmer from purchasing pure
bred animals. He should, however, be.
fore doing SO have thought the matter
out carefully to the end that he may be
prepared to care for them properly.
1t is beyond question that the gospel
of good blood has received more persei
cution on account of scrub fed well
bred animals than on any other ac-
count. Take the sra.@lest pure bred
cow that ever won a 1Nbbon in a show
ring, subject her to care that would do
Justice to a scrub, and what between
the straw stack and We barb wire
fence her breeder would not know her
In t~wenty-four months; hence the point
Is that no farmer should lightly under
take the maintenance and reproduction
of pure bred animals. If he has not
first studied out the principles govern
Ing the industry he would far better
stick to his scrubs and never get be-
yond them.
Breed and feed 60 together. 1t has
been under conditions generated by
high feeding and good shelter that the

animals has been wrought, and without

Profit In

A branch of sheep breeding which
must always prove profitable is the
growing of high class wethers for the
best city markets, says a New York
farmer in American Cu~ltivator. There
has never been a surplus of good
things, and the time will never come
when the best grades Of wethers, at
from one to two years of age. will not
bring a very liberal price. But, first
of all, if we are to succeed as we
should. we must have breeds of sheep
that are suitable for the purpose we
nave in view. While ordinary sheep
sell at an ordinary price, the best
grades Of we'll bred mutton sheep al
ways sell at a price that lean a large
profit to the purchaser. For winter
feeding we have depended quite large
ly on corn silage and clover where pos
sible, and for grain we always depend
or oats, bran and oilcake and avoid
feeding any of the heavy mutton
breeds Of sheep o in a grain ration.
