Live Stock at the St. Louis World’s Fair. ‘A Toronto despatCh says :â€"Un1ess the present restrictions as applied to the importations of pure bred ani- mals into the United States can be greatly modified, and the St. Louis Exhibition authorities change conâ€" siderably, the regulations pertaining to Canadian live stock, the Canadian breeders rerede from their unanimous stand, the Dominion will not be re- presented in that, department of the World’s Fair. A thorougth repreâ€" sentative meeting of breeders at the Rossin House on Wednesday night discussed the matter, and concluded that the Government might better employ the $100,000 grant for the purpose of enabling Canadians to make a creditable show in holding a. stock exhibition on this side of the border. 'An Ottawa. despatch says :â€"â€"It will probably require (mother treaty be- tween Britain and the States to com~ plete the delimitation of the disput- ed boundary between Canada and Alaska. There was something be- tween 100 and 150 miles of the line that the Commissioners did not think they had date suficient to ex- actly locate. Canada. would rather have seen the whole matter cleared up while Lord Alverstone and the other representatives were, about it. Perhaps, though, a joint commission of surveyors may be able to present an unanimous report, and in that event the outlay would not he need- ed for another expensive arbitration.

Toronto, Nov. 17.â€"There was a noticeably increased activity in the cattle trade at the city market. to- day, and a. better feeling seems to prevail all round than has been the case the past tw0 or three Weeks. There was a good run of stock, a. fair to active demand in most lines, and a. slightly upward tendency in prices. The run comprised 89 loads, with 1,069 head of cattle, 2,343 sheep and lambs, 2,500 hogs, and 64 calves. Exportersâ€"There were a few loads of export cattle offering, but more Were Wanted.

An investigation will be ordered to find out Sparks' record, and if it is such as to make it apparent that he was connected with the murder of Glory Whalen, it is thought extremely un- likely thut the British authorities would insist upon holding him for a. lesser crime in England. They would probably’ turn him over to the Canadian authorities for trial on the more serious charge. and have him rearrestcd should he be acquit- ted. Eight More Ordered by C. P. R. Have Reached Boston. A Montreal deSpatch says zâ€"Eight more of the German locomotives, several of which have already been delivered to the Canadian Pacific Railway shops in this city from Canadian steamers, anived in Bos- ton on Thursday. They will be shipped by rail to Montreal. Each locomotive weighs 40 tons. The whole order of twenty lacomotives placed with the German firm will be in the hands of the company in this city by the middle of December. Two or three of these German engines are already in active operation, and are giving satisfaction. Man in Manchester Confesses the Crime. A Toronto despatch says: A man who claims to be the murderer of Glory Whalen has turned up at Mun- chester, England, but there is little knoWn at present to connect him with the crime. A Moscow despatch says: Gen. Dra- gomirofi, the retired Governorâ€"Gener- al of Kiefl, has left here for his cs- tates, the Czar having no further use for his services. The circumstances of the summary dismissal of the General have just leaked out, and strikingly illustrate the humanitarian ideas of the Russian ruler. Dra- gomirofl', who enjoyed unbounded fa- vor at court, and was the most poâ€" pular man in the Russian Army, lost favor and his oflice because he did not show moderation in quelling the recent strike riots at Kiefl’, which practically involved all the working people of the town. Hearing that the strikers might cause a repetition of the Kishinefi‘ scenes, Dragomirofi called out the artillery and caused a Wholesale slaughter of the rioters. It is said that several hundred of them were killed. When the Czar heard the facts he at once dismissed Dra- gomirofl' with the words:â€" Commissioner Says Many Lines Sufier by Surtax. An Ottawa. despatch says: The surtax of oneâ€"third, applied to all imports from Germany last month, will undoubtedly result in a decrease of Canadian purchases from that country. The Commissioner of Customs thinks that it Will hit esâ€" pecially hard the trade which Ger- man firms did in sugar and cement with this country, also in woollens. He is satisfied that a. large share of the imports in these lines will come instead from other countries. The despntch gave no particulars as to Whether Sparks was white or colored. It will be remembered that suspicion fell upon a, negro tramp who had been seen in the district, with a White companion and who vanished immediately after the crime was committed. Numerous arrests of suspicious characters were made, but in spite of the utmost vigilance of the police this is the first suspic- ion of a clue that has been discover- ed. “I cannot have that man at Kiefl any longer. His hands are stained with human blood." Britain Refuses to Pass Them Over Her Territory.

PAY BETTER. °Charcoal is probably one of the best correctives; and, when it can be readily obtained, it will pay to keep a supply in some place where the hogs can get at it Whenever they like. The following preparation is that used by Mr. Theodore Louis, one of the most successful hog feed- ers in the United States, and should he an excellent tonic: “Take six bushels of corncob char- coal, or three bushels of common charcoal, eight pounds of salt, two quarts of air-slaked lime, one bushel of Wood ashes. Break the charcoal well down, with shovel or other imâ€" plement, and thoroughly mix. Then take one and a quarter pounds of copperas and dissolve in hot, water, and with an ordinary watening pot sprinkle over the whole mass and then again mix thoroughly. Put this mixture into the selfâ€"feeding boxes, and place where hogs of all ages can eat of their contents at pleasure." The charcoal furnishes the required mineral matter which may have been lacking in the food, and is also an excellent corrective for digestive troubles, while the coppems is a valuable tonic and stomachlc. If the charcoal is at all hard to get, its place is taken almost as well by sods or earth rich in humus. It is questionable, indeed, if there is any. thing better than sods or vegetable mold taken from the \voodlot. If a. small quantity be thrown into each pen daily, it is astonishing to see how much of it the hogs will conâ€" sume: and the improved health and thrift of the animals will be a revel- ation to the feeder that has UURREUTIVES FUR SWINE KEEP THEIR DIGESTIVE 0R- GANS RIGHT. Hogs that are closely confined and hdghly fed require a corrective of some kind to maintain the digestive system in a. normal condition of health, and the fatter the pig the greater the necessity, says Live Stock Commissioner, F. W. Hodson. When the digestive organs become clogged with fat their ability to digest and assimilate is weakened. When a. hog is running at large, he does not root up the pasture from pure love of exercise, nor does he do it because of innate cussedness. He roots to obtain something for which his system craves. It is this crav- ing that causes a confined pig to gnaw and tear [it the trough and sides of the pen; and hogs have been know to tear apart brick‘ walls in order to get at the mortar. The cause of this unnatural craving is not well understood. It may be due in part to a. lack of ash in the food: for, as has already been stated, a hog may be getting all the grain he can eat and yet be partialâ€" ly starved, because certain requireâ€" ments of the system are insufliciently supplied. It has been attributed by some to the presence of intestinal worms; and by others to some form of indigestion. Whatever may be the part played in the animal economy by these substances, one thing is clear, that, when they are supplied, hogs are healthier, eat better, thrive better, and, consequently NEVER BEFORE TRIED IT. Ground bone, wood ashes, soft coal, old mortar, rotten wood, etc.. are also among the substances used and recommended for this purpose. Prof. Henry reports some interesting experiments to test the value of bone meal and hard wood ashes, when given as a supplement to an exclusive corn ration. None of the pigs showed an entirely satisfactory growth, but. the difference in favor of those getting bone meal 'or ashes was very marked. The pigs fed exclu- sively on corn were most plainly dwarfed. When slaughtered the sevâ€" eral lots showed no difference in the proportion of fat or lean, nor was there any difl‘erence in the size or character of the various internal orâ€" gans. The bones, however, were a. most interesting study. The table given below shows clearly the more economical gains and the greater strength of bones in the case of the animals furnished with ashes or bone meal. It is quite evident that corn meal, salt: and water do not supply all the elements essential to building a normal framework of bone and muscle. Corn meal required to produce 100 lbs. of gain, lbs ............... Average breaking . strength of thigh bones, lb. .............. Average ash in thigh bone, grams... ........ Result with pigs living on corn meal with or without bone meal and hardâ€"wood ashes in addfitiou.â€"- Wisconsin Station.
