KEEP STOCK IN CONDITION.
No Time of Year When They Should
Be Let Run Down.

When? Right now-to-day and to-
morrow and all the time till it comes
time to let the cattle out to pasture.
Sometimes we may get a little care
less about this. So many men say:
What hurt does it do to let the COWS
go with scant rations for a few weeks
In winter? By-and-by they will go out
to pasture and then they can gain up
again. 1t will not cost so much to
get them in good flesh then as 1t
would now, and feed costs SO in win.
teri"
OF course feed costs. That is a
foregone conclusion. If we keep
stock, however, ought we not to be
prepared to do the fair thing by it?
There are some of the best reason
why, from our own standpoint, we
should do this. One Of these is, that
If we turn the cattle out in spring

to get them up in good shape to dc
their best that we shall lose more
than we shall gain by scrimping now.
We are learning that cattle are sure
to take the feed we give them If they
are lean and in poor rig and lay it on
their backs, first Of all; then after
they are in good condition they will
apply the surplus to the milk-pail. 1t
is always the surplus that we get.
And there will be no surplus IL we
keep our COW just on the verge OF
hunger.
The Farmers Voice we'll says that II
Is the COW which has been kept well
that puts the money in our pockets
Cows poorly treated are our farm
charges, to be maintained at the cos

sllould be no such charges; every COW

which are greatly in favor of the i'm

which are greatly in favor of the i'm
migrant.
All Supposed innocent.
"All immigrants in coming to this
country" said Mr.. Watchhorn, ARE
supposed to be innocent, and it is
something opposed to the genius of
American institutions to suppose thai
every man is guilty and that he must
prove that he is innocent. So the i'm
migrant is welcomed here and the OPP
~portunity of citizenship is offered to
him. He is supposed to be a man of
good character until something devel-
ops which proves the contrary"
Altruistic as is this attitude toward
the immigrant, as interpreted by the
commissioner, the inspectors within
the little latitude which is given to
them seek to find out as much as they
can. On each sheet of the manifest
of the steamship are 30 names, and
their owners have answered every in
quiry propounded to them. Age, sex,
calling and the like are duly set forth
and the immigrant is required to state
whether or not he is a polygamist, an
anarchist, a contract laborer and
whether or not he has ever been in
prison or been an inmate of an aims
house.
May Make Few Mistakes.
If within three years to come immi-
grants who have been admitted are
found to have been criminals before
they came to this country there is a
long black mark made against the
record of the inspector concerned, and
If his errors accumulate he is likely to
be dismissed from the service.
Under the present law the inspectors
who chance their positions on their
