punch in the interest of law and
order. And from the time I start I'M

Nov let me tell you what this

Muscular Christianity"

The new year in England is to see
launched a church paper run on the
lines of muscular Christianity"
Which reminds one to ask, who was
the inventor of that particular
phrase? For Kingsley repudiated It,.
To clergyman who. in a review.
had called him "a muscular Chris
tian,' the rector of Eversley wrote:
You have used that, to me, painful,
If not offensive, term muscular Chris
tianity.' My dear sir, / know Of no
Christianity save one. :" And
in one of his David" sermons at
Cambridge Kingsley spoke of "muscu-
lar Christianity-a clever phrase in
vented by know not whom" Now,
If it wasn't Kingsley set 1t afoat. who
was it?-London Chronicle.

Abe Attell added another scalp to
his diamond belt recently which even
the busiest little prizering historians
in town not only failed to tell in full
to an anxious American people, but
didn't even so much as mention. Let
Abe tell about it himself as he re-
lated the story to Bat Masterson and
New York Sun reporter at Shanley's
recently:
Il am sitting in John the Barber's
being all primpted up after once

of iewelry he is selling and John the
Barber steers him to my chair fall

at the Pimlico race track by The
Wcikin, with 100 pounds on her back.
The Welkin is 10 years old and Ia

BEEF TRUSTS ARE FIGHTING
THE INDEPENDENT PACKERS
AreWorking to Prevent Shipping Canadian
Meats into This COunty-Animals
are Diseased They Say

The Canadian beef trust and the
American beef trust are just now united
in an effort to prevent the independent
packers on this side OF the line from
importing American Canadian beef and
hogs. Some time ago the independent
packers on this side began importing
Canadian hogs and cattle and their ac-
ton has been the means of enabling
hundreds of cattle and hog growers on
the Canadian side to find an excellent
market for their stock on this side at
good prices. The Canadian beef trust
has for years succeeded in grinding
down the Canadian growers with the re-
suit that the latter have never been able
to sell their stock at very good profit.
As soon as the independent packers on
this side began invading the Canadian
market and buying cattle and hogs the
Canadian growers realized that at last
they could get an excellent market for
their stock and at the same time be no
longer at the mercy Of the Canadian
trust. AS soon as they began shipping
to this side the American beef trust and
the Canadian beef trust united in an eff
fort to prevent these shipments, for the
reason that the American beef trust
does not want foreign meats brought to
the United States to compete with the
American beef; the Canadian trust also
wants these shipments stopped in order
that they may have the monopoly OF
Canadian beef and hogs. The Cana
dian stockmen naturally want to ship to
this side as they get better prices and
are no longer dependent upon the Cana
dian trust, which fixed the price of beef
and hogs, and the Canadian cattlemen
had to take what was offered them or
not sell. With the independent pack
ers on this side taking their stock the
Canadian shippers find that they are no
longer at the mercy of the Canadian
barons.
To prevent the shipment OF Cana
dian beef and hogs to the Seattle mar
ket the Canadian trust, working in con-
junction with the American magnates,
are seeking through the U. S. Depart
ment OF Agriculture to have Canadian
beef and hogs condemned, claiming
that they are diseased. Thus far the
trusts have succeeded to some extent in
preventing these shipments but the in
dependent packers says that if the Cana
dian shippers will simply stand firm and
continue to sell to them they will be
able to have the beef and hogs brought
in, knowing that they are not diseased
but Of the very highest quality.

Precautions Against Hog Cholera

With continued mild weather, with
no snow and with hog cholera still
breaking out in different parts of the
county, those who have had the dis
ease on their farms or are having it
are responsible to their neighbors for
its further spread For the sake of
those who have escaped the disease so
far owners of diseased hogs should
follow these simple precautions or be
morally, if not legally, liable for out
breaks on neighboring farms:
l. Tie up your hog.
2. Confine diseased hogsIin small
enclosure
3. Put up sign at the entrance to
your farm that your hogs have
cholera.
a. Don't visit your neighbor's farm
without wearing rubbers not used
around farms or dip your shoes in a
formaldehyde solution.
5. When your hogs are all dead or
over the disease plow up hog yards
and dlsinfect the hog houses or move
buildings occupied by the hogs.
These precautions cost nothing and
will probably save other farmers on
nelghboring farms from an outbreak
until winter sets in. j. w. HAW.
