On JAMES WILSON.

Attorney General Speak
er at Refinement Ex-
erCiSeS Over Patriot.

PHILADELPHIA. Nov. eat the
refinement exercises today, over
the remains of james Wilson, one of
the signers of the Declaration of
Independence, Attorney General
Moody spoke, in part, as follows:
Eve are joining today in an act of
long delayed justice.
The occasion is full of interest
for every lover of ordered liberty,
for every believer in a strong and
efficient government, capable of
furnishing protection TO the rights
of its citizens intrusted TO its care;
of compelling obedience TO its law
full DEGREES, and of fulfilling its obli-
CATIONS To the other nations Of the
earth; of interest, because we are
commemorating the life Of a man
who, as much as any other. has
made il possible for us 20 live in Sc
curity under such a government.
His Influence in Convention.
Many years ago, when 1 read for the
frst time Madison's report OF the de-
bates in the convention which framed
our Constitution, / made my first real
acquaintance with James Wilson.

cised an influence IN the convention

OF the mysteries OF history, which

steer develops and grows, you must
increase his ration, not necessarily
great quantity Of grain, but by adding
roots and ensilage he will grow very
rapidly, or in other words, you must
grow your steer preparatory to the
fattening process.
Of course, it requires diligence and
perseverance, not feeding one day and
missing tne next, in order to get the
best results. Wheat, barley and oat
chops is a splendid ration with roots
and ensilage to fatten a steer. BY
having a steer in proper condition the
time you want to make him weigh you
can. with this ration, make him put on
three pounds per day by giving him
good, comfortable quarters with plenty
OIL water and fresh air, combined with
plenty of grooming, for that also is
essential.
l am trying to impress on your
minds how to raise and feed first
class steer, one which, when finished,
would find a place in the best markets
in the United States. At two and
half or three years of age such steer
would weigh anywhere from 1900 to
1900 pounds, and some might do even
better than that In comparison with
your summer fallow and straw stack
steer he could not do it in less than
five or six years and in the majority
of cases would never do it at all.
l am aware of the fact that beef
cattle during the past summer have
been very low in price. The farmer
is, think, a good deal to blame for
this condition of affairs. Generally
speaking he does not put on the mar
ket a first class animal. The steers
have seen in market here are by no
means finished, and the farmer can
not expect the price if he has. not got
the goods When farmers wake up to
their own interests and do something
themselves to make their cattle what
they ought to be, it is, l think, reas-
enable assumption that buyers will
come from somewhere and prices will
be paid that will make their work
not only a pleasure but also highly
profitable.

BID Price for Draft Stallion.

The three-year-Old PercherOn stall
ion Rosenberg has been sold by the
Mclaughlin Bros. to the Davenport
Percheron Horse Co., of Davenport,
Wash. This stallion was the grand
champion at the recent international
livestock show in Chicago. The horse
company paid $4,000 for him.
The eve will fall off in milk just as
readily as the COW, where her feeding
is not right.
If reports are to be credited there
is scarcity of sheep and lambs on
feed all over the country and the nat
ural inference is that mutton and
lambs will sell at equally as good is
not better prices than last year.
There is every prospect that the
Cudahy Packing Co. will build big
packing establishment in Seattle,
with the intention of making this city
it's base of operations in the northwest
1t has been known for some time that
the Cudahys have wanted to enter the
field in the northwest in an active
manner and on large scale.
Since the Red-Polled cattle club was
organized in 1883 much has been &C
complshed in developing the milking
qualities of the breed. Heretofore the
COWS have required the support of too
much beef and fat during the milking
season to produce butter fat profitably
but the breeders are overcoming this
tendency.
The county of Whitman has done a
large business in the cattle line during
the past year, and the outlook indi-
Gates there will be as good, if not
better, times in this line during the
present season. During seven months
last year there was shipped from the
town of Pullman alone livestock to
the value of $4,000, and this money
has nearly all gone into the hands of

the nature of the shipments made un-
til the indictments against them were
reported The shipment. il appears
had, he stated, been billed for export

possible to convict him. The cases
dismissed today are distinct from those
