At the annual meeting of the na tional live stock association the fol lowing from the address of President Springer proves the advance in value of the stockmen's holdings: Less than ten years ago your range horses were Selling at from $5 to $25 on tiie market. Today they bring roim $20 to $50, while your high-class saddle anVi coach horses are selling at their (highest -figure, even to $1,000 apiece Less, than ten years ago your cattle down here in Texas were sold at $8 for a cow, with calf thrown in, while today the cow is worth from $15 up, and the calf at least $10 more. I/ess than a decade has passed since •wool went "wool gathering" at 8 cents a pound on tfhe range, while next year's crop is now being contracted by the big buyers at 20 cents on the ranch. While our sheep, which wandered aim lessly over the trackless plains and sage brush flats could find no buyer at $1.50 and $2, whereas now, anything vrith wool on its back is being searched for with great diligen&e at from $2.50 to $4 each. Yes, and not to overlook the Ameri can hog, years ago he squealed for takers at $2.75 per cwt, while now $4.75 and $5 is paid without the squeal being thrown in at all. Is it any wonder, my friends, when you look the facts squarely in the face, that the live stock industry of the nited States is to be found harnessed to the chariot of progress. This is the open season for feuds to Kentucky. Three men were killed as a result of a little difference of opin ion between two colonels in a hotel at Frankfort. The matter is all the more to be regretted because two of the victims were bystanders who had no interest in the feud and whose deaths were purposeless as they acted in no way toward the wiping out of any honor. They were Just plain mur ders. The homicidal instinct seems to flodrteh in Kentucky this season. Every intelligent American wfio has visited the Philippines since our occu pation began gives the same testimony concerning the character of the people. They are totally unfit at present to conduct an independent government. They must be ruled helpfully but firm ly. of their political capacity at this time te small. Men of various shades of opinion have-personally inspected the natives. Some went to the Phil- :wm IIS' W w* •CDTIC A!SORACRAU' ippines opposed to their retention. They came back with the opposite view. Lieut. Gllmore, a prisoner with the Tagals for nine months, was car ried from point to point over the most of Northern Luzon. No other Amer ican has had equal opportunities for observing tue Tagals as they are. He says they are constitutionally untam able and that as long as they are alive there will be revolutions. Perhaps •the lieutenant, smarting with recent hardships, puts the case strongly. But Prof. Sohiurman, after months of in spection, changed his opinion about Filipino government. Gen. Wheeler was struck by Hie backwardness of the people and the evident necessity of a long course of civilization. Sena tors like Hoar, Pettigrew and Mason have in their minds an idealized Agui naldo and Filipino race. No one has ever seen them. They exist only in the heated imagination of men who insist that their flights of fancy and abstract conceptions about a revolu tionary tribe are superior to facts. Not one actual observer supports them. When Europe's supply of any sort of a product is short it immediately turns to the United States to meet its need. This has been the case in wheat and other agricultural products for many decades. The article whose shortage now begins to trouble the old world is coal. A coal famine is threatened on the other side of the Atlantic, and England, France, Italy, Germany and other countries are anx ious concerning it. Several causes may be assigned for the failure of the coal supply. Though there was ap parently a small increase in the coal production in England in 1899, and a larger gain im Germany, the supply in Europe in general seems to have been hardly in proportion to the population. The increase in the industrial activity, and consequently the demand for coal, seems to have grown faster than popu lation. The time is not far distant when the coal fields of North Dakota will attract the attention of the world as a source of supply for cheap fuel. If any proposition is made to reduce the wool tariffs the woolgrowere will be found up in arms and the proposed reciprocity treaties by which it is pro posed to reduce the tariffs on foreign wools are meeting with the vigorous opposition of wool growers associa tions of the northwest. The sheep men had one experience with free wool and they do not want another. Nor do they want any lowers tariffs than, now. It is given out that the American mules who enlist for service in South Africa must be vaccinated. This is bad news, as it means a large mortality among the government veterinary sur geons. We knew of nothing likely to be more immediately fatal to the vac cinator than the attempted vaccination of the American mule. Our army losses in the Philippines covering the whole period back to the beginning of hostilities with Spain are 364 killed, 203 died of wounds and ac cidents, 783 died of disease and 1,892 wounded. The total is 3242, or about one-third of the British losses from bullets, disease and captures in South Africa. GLORIOUS NEWS. Gomes from1 Dr. D. B. Cargile, of Washita, T.

The heart that throbs so warm today Tomorrow ebbs Its life away. A moment hums life's busy loom, Then hushed and silent in the tomb. And holds the sceptre, sob or smile, For such a little, little while. This great, cold earth, vast, grim and gray, Sees nation rise and race decay, Sees ages wither, Time grow old, Sees God's vast purposes unfold. Man's little lot so briefly cast She barely sees till it has passed, And peoples new her moods beguile For such a little, little While. Youth reai-s in hope a castled pile To rise for such a little while, Fate lays dust its tow'ring walls, Ambitious spires and gilded halls. Pride's swelling crest now plumed high. Now stricken low prays God to die. Time leads the saddened heart to smile, In such a little, little wlille. Life's little candle feebly glows, Life's! fickle current quickly flows. A moment heaves the troubled breath, The candle finds its socket, Death. The flushing cheek, the radiant eye, Dim, lustreless and cold shall lie, And yet those pallid lips shall smile, With God, in such a little While. WHEN AGNES SINGS. When Agnes sings The birds are mute, Beneath the house The oats all scoot. A deep, dense gloom Just clings and clings About the house When Agnes sings. When Agnes sings The flowers droop, Pa says: "Oh, Lord!" And flies the coop. The bed room door Close shut Ma swings And stays inside When Agnes sings. When Agnes sings Her solid beau Don't seem to mind And so I know That While true love A blindness brings, 'Tis deaf as well When Agnes sings. YESTERDAY. Take ye the laurel and the crown, The hollow pomp and cold renown, ije loveless toys of skill or art, The wealth that mocks the aching heart, Ambition's fire, fame or degree, Take every sense but memory, From future's 'hopes strike every ray, And give us back sweet yesterday. Give back the youth that's lived its day, The sweet song sung and died away, The hopes that lured, the voices stilled, The promises all unfulfilled. The flowers that bloomed to fret and fade, The joys in dust and etabers laid, The tears that fall, wipe them away, And give us back sweet yesterday. The light that's lost no eye shall find, No hand ^hall stay the joys that wind Through the long corridors of Time, Nor lure with lute nor tempt with rhyme, No cry, no prayer, no agony, Shall stay the step of Time for thee, Nor call from dust and doom away The flown delights of yesterday. Bottineau Courant: Not wishing to be an abettor of crime, but with the welfare of the county of Bottineau at heart, Ave would suggest that some one passing the county Jail with a fair sized wagon would stop and load this imposing edifice on the wagon, take it borne and use It for kindling wood.

BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE: THURSDAY/ JANUARY 18 1900. f* 'RAZORBACK" HAMS. A G*«lt American Product and How It Wits Named. "One of the best and apparently not the least appreciated of the many im portant food products which America sends to England and France is the celebrated 'Smithfield' or 'razorback' ham, for about 85,000 of such hams are annually shipped to those two countries from this city," said a leading exporter of provisions in New York to a writer for the Washington Star. "In Eng land, where the domestic hams have a tendency to be fat and coarse, our Smithfield hams have among connois seurs a very high reputation for lean ness and great delicacy of flavor, both of which qualities are not thought to be excelled by even the famous West phalian hams of Germany. As the Brit ish consumer is willing to pay a fancy price for the product, some of our choicest 'razorbacks' are exported to John Bull's markets. "The name 'razorback' is derived from a small town on Pagan creek, near Norfolk, Va., where some hundred years ago the hams were first cured by a man named Todd of Smithfield. The animal which produces the Smithfield ham is a semiwild hog that is found in the mountains Of Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee. The hog peculiar to these regions is long nosed, slabsided and has unusually long legs. It is not a prepossessing animal, but when proper ly fed it supplies a ham that is unex celled anywhere in thp world. "Much of the fine flavor which is characteristic of these hams is largely due to the care that is exercised by the farmers in feeding the hogs. In summer the young 'razorback' is allowed to run wild in the woods, and his meat thereby gains a gamy flavor by fall, when he is turned into afield from which crops have been gathered in or der to fatten. In the district which produces the most Smithfield hams there are large quantities of sweet po tatoes iand peanuts grown. "Both these foods fatten the animal with astonishing rapidity, but the fat is still soft. So the next step is to pen the hog up and give him corn and plenty of clear water. With this diet the animal's flesh hardens quickly to the desired extent, and he'is then ready to kill. The curing iB done with Liver pool salt and saltpeter, after which the hams are washed clean and slowly smoked for 40 days over green hickory or red oak wood. Many farmers raise the hogs, but few cure them. They are sold to skillful curers, who supply the market" Argentine Live Stock. A very elaborate series of statistics with regard to the number of live stock in the Argentine Republic has just been issued, says the London Live Stock Journal, which it may be of interest to recapitulate. As regards cattle, the latest returns gave the total at 21, 702,048, as against 21,961,657 in 1888 (the date of the last census), so that there would appear to have been a de crease in numbers, though against this has to be set the fact that the average weight of' the cattle is nearly double what it was ten years ago. Horses are estimated at 4,446,859, as agaiiist 4,284,082 in 1888, and of these 4,016, 297 were draft horses 414,985 of native breeds and 15, 577 thoroughbreds. With its 4,500,000 horses the Argentine Re public comes next to Russia iand the United States, and has 111 horses 'to every 100 inhabitants. The total for sheep is 74,379,562, as against 66,706, 097 in 1888, and the Argentine is only exceeded by Australia with its »9,000, 000, haying 1,859 head for 100 inhab itants. The number of animals of other kinds and of poultry is as under: .. 1898. 188S Donkeys and mules 483,869 418,49» Goats 2,748,860 1,894,886 Pigs........ 652,768 893,768 Ostriches 82,497 176,105 Poultry..... 9,111,822 6,299,877 Totals ....13,078,814 8,181,650 It may be added that the total head of horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, mules, donkeys and goats is put at 104,412,9421 and their value at £76,000,000. Thoroaghbreda and Grade*. It is often a mistake of young breed ers to suppose that the fine appearing grade stock which they have secured by crossing pure bred animals with na tive stock will prove as good as it looks when put to the test of breeding. This in the nature of things cannot be the case, says the Boston Cultivator. All the excellencies of the pure bred etock have been fixed in it by more or less close breeding, or, in other words, breed ing to nearly related stock. The prod uce of this in and in breeding is quite likely to be somewhat delicate in con stitutional vigor, and it requires that there be bred several strains of the saine breed so as to perpetuate its excellences in lines not too closely related. By breeding two animals of these different strains together, enough new blood is introduced to maintain the stamina of the breed and yet without lessening its gpecial value for the purposes for which it has been bred. Crossing to wholly unrelated stock produces a mongrel that is more than likely to perpetuate the worst qualities of both dam and sire if carried beyond the first cross, which as an individual may be better than ei ther. The grade males should always be emasculated while young. The fe males may be kept as breeders if they are always bred to pure bred males of the same breed which produced the grade. Waaie li Hoc Peedlas. A vast amount of hog feeding la done at a loss every year.
