DKNVI3H , Jan. 23. The range cattle show-
tit the Block yards Is receiving marked at
tention from the cattlemen In attendance at
Ihe National Live Stock convention. The
yards were filled all day. Trades were con-
lined almost exclusively to the cattle In the
jnrclg , but there was a great deal of talking
between the range men of the north nnd the
breeders of the southwest. The situation Is
nearly a deadlock. Texas men nre holding
out for last gear's prices and northern men
remain firm. The prices last > ear were $1,1
for calves , $20 for yearlings nnd $25 for twos.
The big Texan breeders Inclst that they must
have that figure this year or they will hold
their cattle , and the northern men Insist
that they cannot afford to pay the money ,
rivn yours ago Montana took nearly 80,000
lieail of Texas cattle. Last year It took less
lli.m 2,000 head. The northern ranges are
depleted and the nlockmen up there are
anxious to restock , but thus far have made
Do contracts.
Resolutions recommending a uniform
bounty law for the extermination of preda
tory animals In nil the western states and
territories formed the subject for discussion
at the opening convention of the association
totlaj. An Interesting feature of the discus-
don was an exhibit of wolves , the chief
offender against cattlemen. The display In
cluded tanned skin * , mounted anlinah and
live wolves In their savage state and only
a few days In captivity.
WoUeK In Wj
The dlscussloi. was opened by A. J. Both-
vcll of Wyoming. Mr. Bothwell stated that
Wyoming had been practically free from
wolves until the beginning of the last decade ,
when they begun to appeal In the northern
jiortlon of the range country. He said.
"Their advance southward has been gradual
tout certain , until now the ranges of central
Wyoming have nearly as many wolves ns
tattle occupying them. They now pretty
well cover eastern Montana , the Dakntaci , all
of eastern Wyoming and arc beginning to
appear on the ranges of northwestern
Colorado. In central Wyoming my experi
ence has been that these wolves kill from
I
10 to 20 per cent of the additional Increase
of the herd.
He told of the unsuccessful efforts during
centuries past to exterminate wolves In
Ktirope. In Franco $20 Is paid for each wolf
killed. Hussla pajs $7.50 per head , and yet
the annual damage to stock In Htissla from
wolves Is from $3,000,000 to $7,250,000.
Mr. Ilothwell recommended legislation
vlth the following features1'lrst , per
manency of the wolf bounty laws. Second , a.
bounty large enough to warrant men in fol
lowing wolf killing for a business. Third ,
a uniform law In all of the ntates Infested
by the animals.

Resolutions were adopted as follows : ny
P. G. Wyntt , president of the Colorado Cat
tle Growers' association , approving the work
of the nureau of Animal Industry In Its
efforts to prevent the spread of contagious
diseases : by C. W. Baker of Illinois , asking
for accurate animal statistics from the fed
eral government ; by A. J. Ilothwell , pro
viding for a committee to look after wolf
bounty legislation. U. P. Mitchell of Okla
homa read a-pajicr -'Oracling nnd BreedIng -
'
Ing of llango Cattle. " Senator Ammons of
Colorado Introduced a. resolution regarding
uniform brand laws , which was referred to
the executive committee.
The question of leasing arid lands was then
taken up , provoking a heated discussion. J.
C. McKay of Wyoming opposed the proposi
tion to lease public lands or cede them to
the states , declaring that the federal gov
ernment alone should undertake the work of
reclaiming the lands. He said a system of
leasing would rcbult In putting all the pub
lic lands Into the hands of great syndicates
and practically make It Impossible for the
lands ever to be reclaimed. Other speakers
were C. P. Johnson of Colorado and I ) . N.
Stlckney of Wichita In favor of leasing and
Mr. Harris of Colorado against It.
Iteilnee Mortality from Infection.
When the convention met In the afternoon
Dr. Victor Nocaard , chief of the pathological
department of the Uureau of Animal In
dustry , > eke on the work of the toureau In
the way of preventing the spread of con
tagious diseases.
Ho said the method of treatment for hog
i cholera has reduced the mortality of In-
' fectcd animals from SO to 20 per cent. The
treatment of calves to prevent blackleg
had reduced the mortality by this disease
from 11 to less than 1 per cent of the calves
of the country. The bureau , he said , had se
cured n dip which Is absolutely fatal to the
ticks and Is not regarded as Injurious to
cattle although this fact has not been fully
determined.
Dr. A. T. Peters of the University ot Ne
( j braska followed In a statement as to the
work done In that state In this matter. Dr.
Peters said ho knew of 33.000 doses of vac
cine used to prevent blackleg. The result
was very satisfactory , demonstrating that
the treatment Is practically a certain pro
ventlve. Ho corroborated Dr. Nogaard on
the subject of hog cholera. He urged the co
operation of all state * with the Bureau c
Animal Industry.
A resolution urging upon the state nnd
territorial legislatures the Importance of
establishing sanitary commissions was taken
xip , the discussion being led by President C.
P. Johnson of the Interstate Association of
Llvo Stock Sanitary boards ,
H. II. Jastrow of California followed.
Both speakers favored the resolution , which
was unanimously adopted.
F. II. Brandenburg , observer of the Den
ver weather station , re-ad a paper on the
work of the weather bureau as affecting the ,
llvo stock Industry. He urged co-operation
of the local Stock Growers' associations with
the bureau in bprcadlng the warnings of
coming storms and cold waves.

vast In part as follows :
From a very small beginning some twenty

voolly tribe are In the feed lots of the mid

The most Important point In starting to
feed sheep Is to buy the right Kind and nt
the rlKht price.
The three- Important things In feeding
beep are. a dry lot , pure water nnd plenty
of eood feed , nnd as a fourth essential I

With these anybody can make fat.
sheep. Whether bo ctin make money In
i feeding them Is net sure.
After getting the slieep from the west
! they should be thoroughly dipped for scab
nnd where n long feed la contemplated they
should by nil men mi be dipped twice , from
leu to twelve days apnrt. As to the dip to
be used , opinions differ. I have used the
nlcotUio preparations with good resultn , but
they nre more expensive than thi old-fash-
loncd lltno nnd sulphur dip , which Is a ( lend
sure thing on scab , although not as easily
prepared nnd harder on the sheep.
I am tnroful 'to ' start my sheep very elowly
on grain , giving them nbout n quarter of a
pound nt llrst , with nil the roughness they
want to fill up MI , gradually Increasing the
grain and diminishing the rough food. It
taKcji about thirty davn to get them on full
I feed ami I believe It l < * n good pi nil never to
; overcrowd their appetites , especially where
i tney are to be fed four or five mouths. When
on full feed grown wethers will eat from
ono and one-half to two ami one-halt pounds
lot grain per day ; lambs somewhat Ice-e. If
II Is po&slblo a mixture of oats , shelled corn ,
bran or oil cake makes n splendid ration.
' Hut thin Is often not practicable on ac-
I count of the high price of oomo of these
I Ingredients.
I have made very fat , heep on nothing
but clear shelled corn nnd wheat strnw. It
tnkcs from three Io four bushels of grain to
fatten n , sheep and we llgure on Icri ton of
roughness per 100 sheep during the average
feeding season 1 feed them grain three
times a clay mid roughitera twite , morning
and evening. Of course they must have
plenty of good , clear water. I keep unit bo-
I fore them always.
The feeding of sheep Is a very pleasant
occupation whenever there Is any money In
It and there will be money In It aa long a3
we produce first-class mutton nnd do not
try to overdo the thing , Wo nre npt to think
that because \\e have fed 5,000 sheep profita
bly , fiO.OOO will imkc just ten times as much
moncj As a. mathematical proposition this
seems to bo correct , but It does not hold
good In practice.
I bellevit our government should provide
more mutton for the use of our soldier bojs
Tor Bnnltary reasons mutton must be vastly
preferable to fat pork or bacon , especially
In the tropical climate , where the majority
of our soldiers ate at to be In the future.
I understand very favorable results have

cattleman in the west , spoke on the cattle
ndustrj of the past eighty years. The dls-
cusslon of the resolution favoring the cession
of arid lands to the states and the leasing
of public grazing lands was resumed.
E F. Benson of the state of Washington ,
ronncctcd with the land department of the
Oreat Northern railway , which Is now leas-
lug Its open lands , declared that the system
] ad proven very satisfactory , serving to protect -
tect the ranges from destruction and to pre
vent trouble between stockmen.
M. A. Daughterly of Nebraska favored the
leasing of lands , the rentals to be used In
the construction of Irrigation canals and
reservoirs.
A. B. Leckcnby of Oregon , special agent In
charge ot grass and forage plant Investiga
tion for the Pacific coast. United State ;
Department of Agriculture , favored the
leasing of the lauds by the government , but
not their cession to the states. His reason
was that party politics do not figure In the
administration of the federal land depart-
mcnt.
J. H. White of Salt Lake favored the reso-
lutlon. He wanted to see all the people
derive benefits from the ranges.
After several other short sneechcs D. N.

for the resolution under discussion , provid
ing for the leasing of public lands by the
government.
It was tabled , carrying with It the origi

CINCINNATI. Jan. 2.V The National As
sociation ot Manufacturers today transacted
tnoit of Its business , lea\lliK the olec-
tlon of officers for tomorrow. The spirit of
the proceedings showed the members were
In fa\or of expansion as a commercial propo
sition and with a special view to eliminating
that question from politics , ns they favor the
tariff , financial and other questions being
eliminated from politics.
Much attention was devoted to resolutions
urging the senate to give prompt considera
tion to the treaty of peace with Spnln. Dur
ing the noon recess It was learned that the
senate would vote finally on the ratifica
tion of the treaty on February 0 and then
the question was dropped Although most of
the members favor expansion , jet they do
not deslro to express any official views on
that question.
They held that the business Interests of the
country as well ns the general Interests of
the Philippines were suffering because of
the delay and that whate\er action may be
taken should be taken soon. The spirit ot
the convention favors unanimous action on
whatever course Is taken on anthing and
for that reason ( he question of expansion
will not come up again.
l'uor Commerce Iliirenn.
The convention Is a unit on the question
of a national department of commerce and
Industry at Washington with a cabinet offi
cer. It Is argued tliat the grangers kept up
their agitation for years until they secured
a secretary of agriculture and that the same
recognition must be accorded to the vast In
terests of manufacturing and commerce and
trade.
Them IB no opposition whatever to the
re-election of Theodore C. Search of Phila
delphia as president for the fourth term.
There Is a general expression In favor of
holding him for a life tenure. Kdward II.
Sanborn of Philadelphia , who has been as
sistant to the president , Is a. candidate for
secretary and likely to succeed Colonel E. P.
Wilson of Cincinnati , who has been the sec
retary ever slnco the association was or
ganized four jears ago.
There Is no opposition to Charles A.
Schleren of New York for treasurer.
Under the constitution the geupral offices
are located where the president resides and
so long as President Search remains In office
the headquarters will bo In Philadelphia.
Under these circumstances a strong effort
was made today to establish a branch office
In New York City. After a heated discus
sion , In which there was considerable feelIng -
Ing between the New York and Philadelphia
members , the question was referred to the
executive : committee. As the executive com-
mlttto Is composed of the president and
other . olllccrs It Is generally believed that
this reference will end the agitation for the
New York ofllce and other branches.
Seveial cities have Invited the assolatlon
to ( hold their next annual convention In their
midst , but the contest Is principally with
Boston and Indianapolis , with the chances
largely In favor of Boston , as it has been
the custom to alternate between the east
and west.
The attendance at the fourth annual con
vention of the National Association of Manu
facturers was larger than that of the open
ing session of yesterday. There were
many manufacturers present who want to
understand the scope of the organization be
fore they Join It. The committees were In
session during the forenoon preparing re
ports on the different sections of the annual
address of President Search and on the
annual reports of other officers , the ex
ecutive board and committees that sub
mitted their reports yesterday.
The session today was devoted to the gen
eral dlfccusslon of questions suggested In
President Search's annual address , taking
up In order the reports from different com
mittees. Owing to the absence of members
on committee woik the convention did not
assemble until noon.
After the adoption of rules W , C. Noes
of Louisville moved the adoption of the
president's recommendation on legislative
work. He wanted reforms In the mall , a
uniform classification of freights and other
reforms for shippers , U. M. Thresher of
Dayton , In seconding the motion , referred
to the association rs being In .ta youth. It
has yet to be perfected In the east and then
extended west and south before It can reach
the desired reforms In legislation. Thomas
.
McDougal of Cincinnati , explained the Ken
tucky law under which manufacturcis in
other Mates had been Indicted. J. A.
Jeffreys of Columbus explained the objec
tionable laws of Michigan nnd other states.
William Carroll of New York objected to
having a resident representative In Wash
ington go before committees. He favored a
committee of the membership to appear for
the association. President Search said It
was necessary to have some one watch the
course of events and notify the piesldent and
committees when their presence in Wash
ington waa necessary. W. H. Cavanaugh of
Canton , O. , referred to state legislatures
passing laws Interfering with manufacturing
corporations nnd said that the state branches
should look after the state capitals as well
as the geneil officers after the proceedings
at Washington.
Itenolutlon HeKiirilliiK Treiity.
Tlio committee on resolutions offered n
resolution through Chairman Moore , earn
estly petitioning the senate promptly to
ratify the treaty of peace with Spain. Hlch-
ard Young of New York offered a substitute
that was In milder language , but it was
lost. Mr. Powell offered a substitute that
asked only for speedy action , which was
also lost. Motions to table , postpone and for
the previous question were all lost. Chair
man Moore defended his resolution , as did
Mi. Young and Mr. Powell. J. G. Hamilton [
of New York. Joplah Howcrd of Emporium
and others opposed action on this resolution.
The resolution was adopted with but a dozen
dissenting votes , and tdo vote was afterward
made unanimous B. H. Jewell of Newark ,
whllo not objecting tn the purpose of the
resolution , yet regretted that the resolution
had been offered. He feared It would have
n bad effect either way , but the least of
such effect would bo In Its adoption.
After further consideration the report upon
legislative work v\ns adopted , as were the
reports on the shipping problem , and the
"Nicaragua canal. " Hcjoluttons were then
adopted as to approving senate bill , 5.021 ,
for Improving the merchant marine service ,
and senate bill 7,242 , for ttio Nicaragua
canal. F. II. Thurber of Now York , on In
vitation , addressed the convention in favor
of the Hanna merchant marine bill , giving
his experience as owner of steamship lines.
I'll r In I'alr mill I'nreeln 1'ont.
At the afternoon session consideration of
the Paris exposition was postponed until to
morrow , when Commissioner Peck will be
hero from Chicago to address the convention.
Consideration of the national bankruptcy
law and the department of commerce and
Industries with a cabinet olllcer at Washing
ton were also postponed.
The "parcels post" question occupied sorao '
discussion , Many cases word cited where
the postal officials refused to accept pack-
ngcsi with vouchers and other valuable docu
ments. Uudolph Dolge , who Is In charge of
the American warehouse at Caracas , Veuc-
I
zucla , showed the disadvantages of Amortho
S
cans In the present postal laws.
After the discussion It w s voted to re-
fcr the proposcil changes In the postal laws
to a special cc/nmlttee.
A resolution by Mr. Jones of Louisville
to reduce the parcel postal rate to 4 cents
toPC
per pound and Increase the limit to eleven
pounds VVHB adopted ,
Frank Leako of Philadelphia favored the
resolution.
J. B. Howard said such malt matter In his
city-was taken to Windsor , Canada , to bo
posted , The recommendations of President
Search on postal lows were approved.
' Frank Wlborg offered a. resolution endorsing
ing the Adams bill for more effective consular -
sular service : adopted.
The reports presented yesterday on patents
and trnile marks anil on International freight
and transportation were adopted.
A vote of thanks was tendered the presi
dent of Venezuela , the chamber of commerce
of Caracas and others for co-operation In the
establishment and operation of the Venezuela
warehouse.
Ilullil l'i ' > Pacific Const Trnrir.
S. Kondo , president of the American-
Japan Association at Toklo , adrdcsscd the
convention , favoring co-operation between
America and Japan for the supremacy of
the Pacific tradt. of which only 2 per cent
was now carried under the American flag.
Ho held that Americans should subsidize
their Pacific merchant marine. Mr , Hondo's
paper was referred to the executive com
mittee.
nichard Young of New York moved that
the association establish a branch office In
Xew York City with a resident secretary
and that the expenses not exceed $7,500 per
year. C. H. Harding of Philadelphia saM
this precedent would Justify Chicago , Bos
ton , St. Louis , Cincinnati and other places
In asking for such offices. L. A. Garrctt ot
Taunlon hold that the auxiliary state asso
ciations should meet frequently and main
tain their own local offices.
Charles A. Schleren. the treasurer , said
there were branch offices In Chicago , Cin
cinnati and IJoston. but none In New York.
In New York there was need of a bureau
of Information for foreign visitors.
William C. Barker of New York and Ben
jamin Atha ot Newark , N. J. , argued
stiongly for an office In New York.
Frank Leake of Philadelphia said the as
sociation should look after domestic trade
as well as the export trade and the work
In New York could be done by the lof-al
organization. He showed that It required
only a couple of hours to go from New
York to Philadelphia ,
Ludwlg Nissen of New York presented sta
tistics to show that New York contributed
about $12,000 per year and asked for only
$7fiOO. J. A. Jeffrey of Columbus moved to
refer the motion of Mr. Young for a New
York offlco to the executive committee : car
ried.
natter Trndp with Mexico.
A resolution waa offered providing that a
committee of three bo appointed to proceed
to Mexico to locate warehouses and provide
for closer trade relations with that coun
try ; also for Hamburg and other European
ports. All were referred to the executive
committee.
After the adoption of resolutions of re

SIOUX FALLS. S. D , , Jan. 25. ( Special
Telegram. ) This has been a great day for
the Minnesota delegates to the National But-
tormakers' convention. A parade of dele
gates occurred this afternoon , with the Min
nesota delegation at the head of the proces
sion carrying the prize banner awarded the
state at last night's session. The banner
Is a magnificent affair and the distinction
conferred upon the state by winning it can
not bo overestimated.
The afternoon session was called to order
at 3 o'clock. F. W. Bowska of Ames , la. ,
then read a paper on "How Shall We Secure
the Desired Flavor In Our Product. " At the
conclusion of his address Prof. Farrlngton
of Wisconsin addressed the convention
briefly. The motion to elect officers at 1:30 :
tomorrow afternoon instead ot 7.30 In the
evening prevailed. The discussion of "Is
Pasturing Milk or Cream for Buttermaklng
a Success , " was opened by F. B. Fulmer ot
Ettrlck , Wls.
It was announced from the stage that the
sale of butter which Is on exhibition will
take place at 0:30 : In the morning.
The afternoon session closed by the dis
cussion , "How Shall We Ulpcn Our Cream ? "
led by Daniel Bluer of Omro , Wls. , and
participated in by M. W. Ashby of Hazelton ,
la. Notwithstanding the seemingly prosaic
character of the subjects treated by the con
vention , the greatest Interest Is manifested
and the attendance today was fully as great ,
If not greater , than on the opening day. The
Kansas delegation , accompanied by the cele
brated cowboy band , organized by Gillette
and Abilene cattlemen , attiacts much at
tention.
