CATTLE RAISING.

The recent agitation for eatt9e
 raising in this county and section
 because of th't bright prospects for securing a large packing plant ill this city, has prompted many farmers and stock growers in this city to make inquiries and prepare to engage in stock raising on a larger scale
 w A. Coch5l, in an article on Beef Production in Pennsylvania" u bulletin published by the Pennswl- yania State College Agricultural Ex- pertinent Station, says:
 Beef cattle should be cons deyed as machines for reducing farm crops to more concentrated market pro- duct. Through a series of years. , they will return greater total pro lit than Is secured from marketing crops in their original form, and in addition will build up the fertility of the land so that greater crops can be produced. This is. in reality the largest source of profit from handl- ing beef cattle.
 "In the developmtnt of an agricul- tural country, beef cattle are pro duced in sections so remote from market that the cost of transporta tion of farm crops overbalances tht profit in growing them. Because Of the large valunle of grass and forage crops which they consume. the dis tance which they can be drivtn. their ]. freedom from contagious and infec- tious diseases, and their ability to withstand periods of food shortage and unfavorable weather, beef cattle sare especially adapted to the utili- xation of the products of the soil in frQmtier sections. AS the country
 develops, transportation improves, Andmarkets for special crops be- come established, diversified farming replaces the grazing industry, the Eproduction of beef cattle decreases and farmers turn their attention to Finishing cattle for market, which have been produced on cheaper. %thOugh possibly just as productive gland The importance of maintain ing fertilt soil and the practical i'm possibility of so doing, without feed Ing large proportion of the rough age produced and returning manura to the land, causes many farmers to s0at4en cattle for market although

Washington D, C., Ian. 10.-Ths announcement has beenA made at the
 postoffice department that Postma 3-
 fer General Hitchcock will recon4=

 organ lzation of the railway serv;.f
 which will include q new system C
 compensation Of it's employees
 will provide annu3 promotions.
 ltsed ton efficiency
 The salaries will b4 sraded jn
 the sanle manner as tor postal
 clerks and city leater carriers. but
 owing to the more hazardous nature
 of t2e work the railway postal clerks
 will receive higher pay. The re- classification of salaries lnder the new plan will involve an expendi-
 ture of about s2,000,Ooo, but this in creased compensation viii go su the experienced clerks, for the old method of appointing untra ned Esen iii the railway mail servic9 is to be abandoned in favor of plan. ur- der which the service will be r7- fr"ited by the transfer of expert. 'e9loyes who have served their ap- prenticeship in the postoffice.
 At the same time railway postal clerks whose efficiency is declining or who are becoming physically in capacitated for train duty will .lf to less asduous work i~ the pos'ofice thus keeping on tn trains only; men of the highest ca. oacitv for service. By this methc Nr. Hitchcock believes the efficienc ,f the railway mail service, which i " far the most expensive branch (, he postal system, will be so groat- y Increased as to offset in resultip, economies the heavy expenditure s recommending for promotions.
 under the present system of salar- es in the railway mail service the of employees has in many instances direct relation to he amount of car space paid for by he department, thus it is said ere t. ng in the employees q constant to induce the purchase e unnecessary car space. This fea ure of the old system will be en- rely removed by the adoption o he new plan. r
 Under the new salary system as commended by the postmaster gen ral, the entrance grade for railway ostal clerks is raised from $500 to 900 and the maximum grade is ad- anced to s1,200, $500 and s1,5Oo, for the three classes of ailway postoffice lines. Promotions re to be based entirely on the mer- ; system, all efficient clerks re- eiving annual advances until tAo laximum grade Is reached.
 Clerks in charge of crews will be iven at the outset of s100 more than ne maximum salary of the clerke nder them and after three years service will receive 100 promotion. Provision is made ,r transfer between the three Iasses, so that 1t may be possib' ,r an efficient clerk to advanco le maximum grade in the clas~ lat carries the highest salaries.

There is a new phase to the Michi

time
While the powers that be at the
various institutions are teasing the
question OF Michigans return and
playing with 1t like cat plays with
ball suspended in air at string s

who says that If the cat can't do any
better than she has, he is going to

Sentiment for some time has been
lin favor OF the return OF Michigan.
However, there have been very influ-
'entiaf men who have opposed this

Lately there has been such strong
idemand for western games. that stu.

western games have been boil enough
to assert that the conference was a
means to western games (Which they
twanted) and not the object OF the
western games.

michigan can't get these games with

Although the conference meeting
adjourned, Saturday, without any def

meeting OF the editors OF five OF the
