head of GallOways were sent by the
government to Wood Island, Alaska,
arriving there May 1, 1906. Since that

they are in fine condition, and have

cattle, although not SO heavy as some
other breeds. They are said to stand
head to a storm, which would qualify
them for the plains, as they would not
drift before the storm and be lost or
scattered. These cattle came from
near Kansas City. Another herd OF
seven head was taken to the govern

time this herd went to Wood Island.

was very wet during the haying sea-
son. and little hay was cured without
some rain falling on it. The silo has
again been proved necessary to the
cattle raiser. When properly located
with reference to the grassy beaches,
which furnish the best of forage for
filling them, they can be filled at a
cost of less than 81 ton.
Cattle on the wooded islands often
run through the winter without feed,
as SHOWS are usually light and do not
ordinarily remain long on the ground
in the proximity Of the salt water.
The great difficulty in letting them
run is the danger of their slipping
over the cliffs where the spring suns
start the grass before the grost IS
out of the ground.
On the Frye-Bruhn ranch cattle and
sheep have done we'll this year. Their
stock is almost all Herefords.
A subscriber asks, (which is the
best breed OF Sheep" That depends
more on the man than the sheep and
the special purpose for which the
sheep is bred.
A light roam bull is quite as likely
to sire white calves as white bull IS,
but the cOlors depend much on the
colOrs OF the ancestors. For red-and-
white COWS no bull is SO useful as the
white, and from such COWS he would
get far better colOred calves than
would a roam bull.

A Bishops Unseemly Outbreak.

The following press dispatch from Ma
con, Ca. appears today:
I'm an address before the 500 delegates
attending the convention of negroes in this
city to discuss racial problems, Bishop II,
NJ. Turner declared the American flag to
be dirty and contemplate rag. He fur
ther said that hell was an Improvement
on the United States when the negro was
involved. In closing he said:
If little ignorant and stupid white
man, who was never heard of, and never
would be heard of until ten thousand
years after the resurrection trumped,
wishes a little notoriety, he begins to be-
lie and slander the negro, and bounds
into popularity. And 1 challenge any one
or all of them to meet me in public dis
cussion. and l will show that the negro
is far better man than they are.
When "a white man as high in office as
Gov Vardaman. and on that account COM
manding attention, inveighs against the ne
gro, denying him qualities which under
education and Improvement make for USE
fulness and good citizenship, thoughtful
people search for a selfish motive, and find
it in political ambition. For this reason
such deIiverances injure their author before
the country al large more than those
against whom they are directed. Gov.
Vardaman aspires to a seat In the United
States Senate, and abuse of the negro is
popular Will d CtI tam OAS'SS VI ISSt4> 80
Mississippi Hence his opposition- to edu-
cation for the negro, and his advocacy of
practically the reinstatement of the race
in the south
But what is to be said when a negro as
high in station among his people-and IN
religious etation at that-as Bishop Turner
inveighs against the white man, and speaks
of the country and the flag in the terms just
quoted? What is his object? What sort of
man is he? He should be leader OF his
people, and by his profession of religion
counselor of peace and patience and good
works But he raves like a person pos
sessed. He counsels like a man of warfare
and bitterness. He teaches disrespect for
authority, and makes himself Objectionable
to the men of both races who are striving
for the betterment of both. Such senti-
nents clothed in such language not only
a reproach to the church to which this man
belongs but make for outlawry and retro
gression.
As between the two men, Bishop Turner
is by far a greater enemy of his race than
Gov. Vardaman. In the long run he will do
1t much more injury. Now and then he ad-
vocates a return TO Africa His people are
not needing that advice, but 1t would be
good thing for them If he would take it
himself. and put the seas between him and
the country he affects to despise much.
