"Man will fall, because of his very dévelopment," prophesies Dr. Emil Koe- nig, one of the most eminent of German physiologists. © "He will fall to rise no more; fall fo revert to what he was be- fore he became lord of ereation." Dr.. Koenig, widely recognized as an authority, has published a slartling pamphlet' which takes the darkest view of the future of the human man. Koc: nig says there is abundani evidence fo 'prove thet man: has reached his ghest development and is on the eve «[ reversion to his original. type, or, 4. least, to some type far inferior to the existing one, "Human life and "its conditions are | so" elaborate now that the human or- gans have become' more specialized, "more "sensitive and consequently more liable fo. disease," writes the physiolo- gist. "So these . supersensilive, easily diseased organs must deteriorate, and with the delerioration of its organs must come the degeneration of the race. Koenig points to the enormous in- crease of cancer as a prominent and present result of (his deterioration. He says cancer probably will be the plague a from which the coming lower man will 'suffer most. The learned physiologist also declares heart disease to be on the increase. chs 'are. growing feebler and los ing their, power fo. assimilile food. As 'for teeth," Dr. Koenig' believes that in comp! ly shart: period" man will "oottiless. "Suicide," he says; "will commonest. event 'in 'these days Ta eR on his corn. that it fairly cwell "along livestock: lines und.

Creamerios = were being "built; pl erected, and people were doing fairly well, 'but there would come one of these Big ¢reps of wheat and everyone would throw up his herd, .and the first thin' wn knew the cattle were sold, the i were sold and the fowls were allow ' freeze to dealh. Creameries were closed. up. Every man was plowing, and it was forly bushels to the acre and 81 a bushel I". The-fact-of the matter is that with all credit'to wheat, we must, il'wo wish to succeed in this country, look: to cur livestock." While it may occur to Ihe satirist to suggest thal next winter Dr. Rutherford may be able to'lead in a hymn of praise far {he blessing of a slim crop of wheat, nevertheless there was much wisdom; in his" words, Mankind is ever prone to shorlsighted conduct . which very offen leads to commercial suicide, and it is only when the easy 'down-grade path is providentially blocked that he begins the climb lo higher and more "stable levels ol success, So much for official philosophy. Con- tinuing the Live-stock Commissioner: touched cn a question that will awaken the interest of Eastern as well as prairie caNlemen : "Complaint has been made Uiat it dees not pay fo go into-beef production 1 the West, Ag matters are a man, after considerable expense and trouble, has prepared a number of fat catlle for sale and then finds very great diMculty in getting their proper value in (he mar- ket. You all know what has been achieved Ly the uniled concerted actin of the grain-growers of his country. The same thing can be done with regard ty the marketing of cattle. It is simply a matler of combination on the parl of the producers, and, in my opinion, there is a very profitable field for the prcduc- tion of beef. The export of caltle bred ire this country is large. and it is geliing larger all the time. In 1904 30,000 head of callle were shipped east; in 1005 22.000, and in 1906, 35,000. For years lerge numbers have been sent and a lot 0! these caflle are shipped at-a loss to the owner, "In (he States the cattle are shipped from the ranches to the Middle States, and there fed up, and at the end of nine- ty days are sent in to Chicagc, and are carefully culled, and only the best are sent" forward fer export lo: European markets. They sell from a penny 10 two-pence a pound more than Canadian ~altle, On the other hand our catlle aro shipped right through. and when they arrive on the other side ol the Atlantic . are a disgrace tc Canadian breeders, It has always struck me on this phase of tiie matter that: there is a great fleld in our Province of 'Manitoba and in what, ic now Saskalchewan, as well as soma parts of Ontario, for the finishing of these catlle. I think if these cattle could b+ taken by our Manitoba farmers in tho fall ard pul into feed lots and fed on cearse grains, that it would pay very well indeed to finish these cattle herq and send them forward lo a properly- sufeguarded market in Europe or in tha east. 1 think that could be done very profitably. We have more coarse feed in this province and in Saskatchewan ban in any other part of the world that know of. It is a ridiculous thing tc ship cattle and also to ship our coarse grains. 1 intend to go thoroughly into this question with a view to establishing a paying and profitable cattle trade from Maniioba t¢ Europe, SILAGE GOOD TO USE NOW, Now is the time to commence stabling and feeding (he cows nights so as to work them gradually over lo winter conditions. The autumn pastures are no longer very nourishing, and, though fur- nishing a gocd deal of appetizing for- age, they should be supplemented, for best results. with green corn, hay, roots or silage, and a moderate meel ration. There is nothing beller than silage. Many dairymen labor under a false im- pression that silage is not good lo feed until it has cured for six weeks a month in the silo. This is a mislake. Silage is at ils very besl during the first week after it is cnsiled. At this stage fermentalign © has only "nicely com- menced, and the first slage of the pro- cess gives the cut corn. the odor and flavor of fresh cider. . Ab. this stage the cows will eal it greedily, and do well on it. Cattle which would require tc be ac- customed « to cured silage will. eat (his sweet, frageant feed al. once, without demur, The-only caulionhecessary is to exercise care when throwing out the silage lo keep the surface level. {n avaid digging holes with shovel 'or fork, and te; tramp around the ed; sionally. : at. the 's religion by ex we gat farmiers started
