INDIANA'S CATTLE QUEE I

A Lady Who Knows More About Short- , Horns than Her Male Competitors. Growth cf the Cattle-Raising Bnsiness in Indiana -Subjects Discussed at Yesterday's Meeting of the State Association. Among the one hundred and fifty delegates to the fifteenth annual meeting of the Indiana Short-horn Breeders' Association who assembled in the rooms of the Stata Board of Agriculture sat one woman, Mrs. Gen. H. C. Meredith, of Cambridge City, and the owner of the finest herd of short-born cattle in the State. She breeds and sells a large nnmber of fine cattle every year. She can stand up alongside the oldest and most experienced cattle-breeders and discuss the constitutional breeding and pedigree of any variety of animals. No man in the convention knows any more about breeding cattle than does she. When her husband was alive he was one of the met successful breeders in the country, and was very fastidious in his iastes in regard to the animals constituting his herds. But, in 1875, he became bankrupt, and soon afterward died. Mrs. Meredith then toolc np her husband's business, which she prosecuted with more energy and success than he did. One of ber sales, which occurred more than a year ago, was the most successful in the country with one exception. She breeds the celebrated "Wild Eves." known bv all who know what a fine breed of cattle is. Her herd of forty ren ders her a handsome annuity. In 1885 she read a paper upon her experiences before the national convention of snort-horn breeders, which was printed everywhere, and was more Quoted than any of the other addresses delivered at the same time. She is, verily, a queen among her kind. A goodly 'nnmber of 150 delegates are from among the most prominent men of the State, not only'in cattle raising, but in political life. Among them are Robert Mitchell, the president, of Gibson county; Thomas Wilhoit, of Henry county; Thomas Nelson, of Parke count; S. F. Lockridg. of Putnam county; b. K. yuick, or Bartholomew county; Judge J. S. -Burkles, of Delaware county; S. D. Buttz and II. W. bert. of Bartholomew countv. and H. LamG. a Bals and J. W. Christian, of Indianapolis. The meeting yesterday, after its organization, was briefly addressed by the president, Robert Mitchell. Mr. Mitchell said that the cattle industry had become a question of political economy, and that the object of the meeting was to promote its success. In Indiana, he said, there are 494.9U milch cows and 801,846 other cattle, mostly scrubs, not including any work oxen. About 25 per cent, of the milch cows are shorthorns, valued at $100 per head, and the other 75 per cent are scrubs, valued at $30 a head. It follows that the short-horns are worth, at this estimate, $12,500,000. In the raising of cattle, he said, there was also a question of time. The farmer watches for a time to sow his seed and to harvest his crops, and no . change of seed could advanoe his work. The time question among cattle-breeders was "Which breed of cattle soonest are ready for the block?" The short-horn is ready, with a weight of 1,500 pounds, in three years, and some of the yearlings at the Chicago fat-stock show weighed 1,400 pounds. It takes the scrub cattle five years to weigh 1,200 ponnds. r.nd then they sell for only $10 a head, while the shorthorn brings $2G a head. Tho short-horn, he said, is more valuable altogether than the scrub. buh in meat and milk qualities. The average j-it-Id of milk of a ehort-horn is four gallons a dtty, three hundred days in the year. The milk in better, and better butter was produced from it. In conclusion, he advocated stringent laws guarding against the snread of contagious diseases among cattle, and deplored the fact that a few slaughtering-houses in Chicago could control the price on meat. The report of the secretary, Mr. Walter J. Rinck, showed a membership in the association of 160. Dues were collected this year. They had not been in the last two years, as the asso ciation had needed no money. He reported that L'-JU nreeders had paid a subscription ot one dollar to tho enterprise of publishing a State directory, giving the particulars of each herd. The treasurer's report showed that the affairs of the association had been conducted economical ly, only about twenty dollars having been ex' pended during the year. Mr. Thomas Nelson, of Parke county, read an address on "The Difficulties of a Beginner." He said that tnere was a prejudice among new breeders against soma colors of cattle, occasioned principally by their ignorance. Their ignorance in care and proper feeding of their herds also proved impediments to the success of their j undertaking. After the paper was finished, a spirited discussion took place in regard to the color of short-horns and the relativo merit of each. The meeting will be continued this morning, when the remainder of the papers will bo read, and in tho afternoon thi swine-breeders will convene. Indiana T-ive-Stock Ureeders Organize. A general convention of live-stock breeders of the State was held in the rooms of the State Board of Agriculture, last evening, with Hon. Robert Mitchell, of Princeton, in the chair. After considerable informal discussion it was decided to.forin an Improevd Stock-breeders' Association to meet annually, and a committee of seven was appointed to select a time for the holding of the first meeting. This committee was constituted as follows: W. S. Vannatta, Fowler; Thomas Nelson. Hloorningdale; Robert Mitchell, Princeton; I. N. Cotton, Trader's Point; D. L. Thomas, Rushville; T. A. Llovd and J.

The report prepared by this committee and adopted by the cenvention was as follows: Your committee beers leave to recommend that the first meeting of the Improved Stock-breeders' Association of Indiana be held on Thursday and Friday after the first Monday in January, 1S88. at the agricultural rooms, immediately after the adjournment of the Delegate and State Boards of Agriculture. After a brief address by Representative E. A. Metzger, of Si. Joseph county, the following resolution was adopted: Resolved, That this convention of Indiana stock men pjeages its nearty support to tne tarmer members of tho Legislature in their efforts to puss the three measures must important to the agriculturists of the State, namely, the sanitary live-stock commission bill (House bill 10:)). the dairy and food commission hill (House bill 152), and the dog-law l ill, to bo introduced from the committee on rights and privileges. The question of holding a fat-stock show at Indianapolis was discussed briefly, and the following committee was appointed to canvass the matter, and consult with the Stato Board of Agriculture as to the advisability of holding a fat-stock show at Indianapolis: S. R. Quick, of Columbus; W. S. Vannatta, of Fowler; Thomas Nelson, of Bloonv.ngdale; Adorns Earl, Lafayette; Robert Mitchell, Princeton, and E. S. Folsoro. W. P. Ijams, E. B. Martindale and J. F. Holt, all of Indianapolis. ;ur. . lu wnicK, oi uoiumnus, introduced a resolution, which was amended to read as follows, and adopted: Resolved. That it is tbe sense of this convention that all cattle over five years of ajje. except females, exhibited in t'.ie dairy classes should be prohibited from showing at the fairs of our State. The convention then adjourned to meet next year at tbe time specified by the committee. Fanner Stlpp Sentenced for Forj-ery. In the Criminal Court, yesterday, George W.

The Rosses Agree to Make Nine Honrs a Day's Work and Pay tho Wages Demanded. jast wees the journeyman plasterers and hod-earners held a meeting and decided to ask for higher wages and the adoption of the nine hour system. They addressed a communication to the bo3 plasterers of the city, informing them of their action. They agreed that during the rear 1887 they would work but nine hours day, with the exception of Saturdays, when eight hours should constitute a day, and 6tipn lated 33 13 cents per hour as the pay. In order to determine what should be done there was a meeting o the boss . plasterers last night at the Builders' Exchange. Among those presen were Cash Cornelius, Joseph Ernest, Matn Hartrnan, E. Bovine, R. C. Tall, and others. A. lsiiniap Drpsided, and u. i au acted as 6c retary. Mr. Earnest thought the comraunica tion should be tent back to the journeymen, as the wages now paid were hich enouah. air. JU. Bovine favored the nine-hour svstem, and thought the men should be paid by the hour. R. C. Hall spoke at great leugth. stating that the labor organizations of the country were endeavoring to reduce the number cf hours that constitute a day's work, and he thought they should be given encouragement. He was strongly in favor recoenizing nine hours as a full day's work. Fie said he remembered the time when common laborers worked fourteen hours per lay, and they made nothing but a bar living. They finally got down to twelve hours, and 6till it was a mere living. It was tho same under the ten-hour svstem. and he wa in favor of giving them a still better show. He wanted to see the men met and treated fairiy. He also favored the boss plasterers refusing to take a contract from the carpenters, and advised them to deal only with the builders themselves. A resolution was finally passed, agreeing to count nine hours a day's work, and 33 1-3 cents per hour the price to be paid during the year for journeymen plasterers. With reference to hodcarrier?, it was agreed to pay them 22 cents bet hour. A committee was aimointed to notify the workmen of the action taken. Nine Honrs for Brick-Masons. The difference existing between tho boss brickmasons and the journeymen have been settled by the bosses aurceinj; to aceept nine hours as a days' work, with eieht hours on Saturday, and 45 cents per hour ns tho wasres to be paid.

rooms of the Kennel Club, in the Thorpe Block, ast night, and discussed the bill recently intro duced in the Htmse prohibiting the killing of quails and pheasants for an indefinite time. Mr. Harry S. New atd Mr. Browder spoke npon the bill and pointed cut the effect it woutd have. stating that many farmers would trap the birds and dispose of them in market as coming from otuer totates. The following resolution was drawn np and signed by all present: Resolved. That it is the sense of this raeotina that iiouse Dill o. J VS. prohibiting the killing of certain game birds for an indefinite time should not become a law for the reason that it will uniustlv discriminate against the sportsmen whose chief and onlv recreation lies in this direction, and for the additional reason that the provisions of the bill are so sweeping that it cannot be made operative. " ' This resolution was put in the bands of a com mittee consisting of Messrs. Beriruadthal. New. W illiams, Becker, Isgrigg and Browder, with in structions to present the matter to the House committee on rights and privileges, and secure tne aeieat or the obnoxiocs bill.
