Baby-Beef Costly.

Marcus Baltauser, government live
stock inspector at Duluth, Mimi.
says: zone of the causes Of high
priced beef is the slaughter of young
calves, something like 5000, 600 be-
ing killed very spring, weighing
about 20 pounds each. If allowed to
grow another year they would average
around 500 pounds, equivalent to an
additional 44O, 900, 900 pounds of beef
IF we had a law similar to that of
Argentina. which prohibits the
killing of female bovine under 7
years of age, porteIhouse steak would
cease to be a luxury. This sounds
somewhat REASONABLE. All this talk
about the cheaper cuts being las good
as the choicest when properly cook.

Homestead Law Changed.

Cons1e has amended the home
stead law so that it will be great
boon for those who are now on home
steads and those who intend taking up
claims. Under the new law only
three years residence is required to
prove up on a claim, and five months
absence from the claim is granted
each year. The time of actual resi-
dence required is thus reduced to 81
months. The new law will probably
cause a great rush to the western
country this fall. as many who would
not consider applying for land under
the old law with its FIVE year limit and
rigid rules as to residence will look
upon the new law with favor and
enter their claims. One object of the
law is to check emigration to the
Canadian northwest.

Before and during the republican
national convention, Roosevelt left
nothing undone that he knew of to
secure the republican nomination for
president. Failing in that ambition
he now declares that the republican
party-and the democrat as WELLS
boss-ridden and privilege controlled,
only husks with no soul within, and
that all virtue and honesty is possessed
by his own personally controlled
Bull Moose party. Had he receiv-
ed the nomination the republican
party would be extolled by him as
possessing all the virtues What a
spectacle he presents, anyway.

REPUBLICANS AND THE FARMERS.

In what is called his first speech of
the presidential campaign Candidate
Wilson can hardly be said to have
made q hit. It was delivered at
Gloucester, in Prof. Wilson's home
state, and it was made to a gather
ing of farmers. "Here we are at a
farmers picnic, = said the candidate,
land on this day l suppose we might
say that the farmers occupy the center
of the stage. When did the farmers
ever occupy the center of the stage in
our politics. | don't remember any
time. | have seen the interests of a
great many classes specially regarded
in legislation. but 1 must frankly say
that 1 have seldom seen the interests
OF the farmers specially regarded in
legislation.
Here is where Prof. Wilson was
incautious His remaks, as he
ought to have known, would be like
ly to get into the newspapers, and
thus give an opportunity to some of
his political enemies to counter on
him. As historian, Prof. Wilson
must have seen some mention of the
fIeehomes act, which was enacted by
Republican Congress and president
in 1862. He must also have come
across some reference to the leglsla-
tion of the same year which gave rise
to the agricultural colleges in the
shape in which we know them to-
day, which are a good deal more
numerous than the states, and which
have equipped thousands of men to be
scientific farmers. He must have
heard something, also, about the agri-
cultural experiment stations under the
governments auspices. which are do
ing grand work for the tillers of the
soil. The national irrigation law of
1902, which is retaining the arid
West and planting tens of thousands
of homes there, is something which
somebody must have told him of
Then there is the rural free delivery,
which operates on more than so, 900
routes. and which serves 90. 900, 900
of people, All these aids to the farmer
are creations of legislation and all
are Republican legislation.
zone of the greatest impositions
upon the farmers of this country that
has ever been devised is the present
tariff legislation of the United
States" says Prof. Wilson. The
tariff has placed the factory beside the
farm, has planted cotton mills in the
neighburhood of cotton plantations,
and has thus enabled the producer to
get much higher prices for the things
he raises than he would if he had to
send them to distant markets, or to
export them to Europe. Any in
telligent farmer or planter can tell
Prof Wilson all this. This is a bad
for the Democratic candi-
date. 1t will give point to the re-
mark of one of his quondam Demo-
cratic friends that he is too much of
a pedagogue to see things as most of
his fellow citizens see them. In the
