Meat Supply for the British Market

Our valued correspondent Samuel
Sinnett Esq, of Muscatine. Iowa, writes
a letter to the Des Moines Farmers
Journal upon this subject, from which
we make Aome extracts. He says:
There is no subject of greater impor-
lance to the Western Farmer than how
he is to get his surplus produce to a
good market. without the cost of trans
portatlon eating up all the profits that
legitimately belongs to him.
Now this brings me to the subject
started to write on, the importance of
raising first class meat, as what will not
be wanted for home consumption, will
always command good prices in the
English market. There is no subject
that creates more anxiety in England
amongst the statesmen there than the tu-
ture supply ofmeat. The consumption
of meat by the industrial classes
has increased four fold in the last
AZ years, whilst the home supply
b IS deer Q Used from various causes. promi-
nent amongst which, are diseases OF a
contagious character that have thinned
out the herds and caused so many to be
slaughtered to prevent the contagion
from spreading. This l naturally raised
the price in the market SO much that far
mers and feeders sold off their young
immature animals too closely and the
result was that there was dirth of meats
in the market. The statesmen of the
nation knew that would never do. as they
well knew the only way to keep John
Bull in good humor was to furnish him
with plenty Of good beef and ale. The
question was whence were they to
draw their supplies. About this time a
few enterprising individuals in Australia
thought Of making some effort to utilize
the immense herds of cattle and sheep in
that colony, and sent SO air tight cans o
meat to London. This was in 1867 al
that time the price of the best cuts in Lon
don was Is to So cents per ID. figure SO
high that the poor man was unable t.
procure even the poorest portion of the
carcass. But on the introduction oi
the Australian canned meats, when they
could procure the best portion of the
beef free Of bone for s, it produced quite
q revolution; the portable soup made
out of the poor beet became in great de.
mand. so much 50 that in 1872 there
were over 20 millions OF cans imported
and 50 heavy was the demand that sheer
and cattle advanced to tour times the or
iginal value IN Australia.

Profit Of Sheep.Raising in Minnesota.

With view to encourage sheep rails
ing in Minnesota, correspondent of the
st. Peter Tribune gives statement OF
the experience of Thompson and Car
penter. of kasota: They have sheared
this spring 43e sheep and had ready sale
at st. Peter, Ga home markeD for all
the wool at 81 cents pound. They
have eight full blood merinoes, that av-
erage seven pounds of washed wool per
head ard raised lamb. They also
have one full blooded merino buck, two
years old, for which they paid $50, tina,
sheared II l-2 pounds. They also have
one yearling buck, very fine wooded
lamb. The conclusion OF the correspon-
dent is that every farmer in Minnesota
ought to keep few sheep-the labor
and expense of so doing being very
light, while the profits are always large
in proportion to the capital invested

Care Of Young Calves.

Farmers should raise enough of the
best calves, or calves from their best
COWS, to keep their stock fully up. En-
deayor to get good strains Of blood into
the herd by using thoroughbred bull.
Never use halt or quarter blood bull
if it is possible to obtain full blood. A
COW before calving should be placed in
a warm. dry box stall, for the comfort of
the COW and the safety of the calf. The
practice of allowing a cow to have a
calf while in stanchions can not be too
strongly deprecated. Even if it is not
desirable to raise the calf, it is an unnec-
essary cruelty to keep the COW confined.
The practice is doubly unnecessary and
cruel when the calf is to be raised. 1t
the calf comes early in the night, it is
apt to lie PROSTATE in water and filth un-
til morning, when it is chilled through,
and no matter how fine calf it might
have been, it is a mercy to kill it.
| Therefore, presuming the cow is in a
comfortable and convenient place, as
soon as possible after the calf comes, it
should be rubbed perfectly dry. Too
many precautions cannot be taken to
prevent the calf from becoming chilled,
and it is more apt to become chilled
while wet The calf should be fed, as
soon as possible after birth, with milk
freshly drawn from its mother, and
should have the whole of its mothers
milk for at least week or ten days be.
fore it receives any skinned milk. The
change from new to skinned mill
should be gradual. Begin by mixing :
little skinned milk with the new milk
Feed regularly three times day all the
calf will take. Keep clean, dry pen
with plenty of clean straw to insure
cleanliness and good health. Remem
Der that if you slight the calf now, wher
it becomes a COW 1t will slight YOU

Blood and White Feet.

| believe white feet on horses are an
indication of blood, and if you will look
through the trotting register and For
rester's Horse of America, you will find
that out of twenty-five plates OF horses
twenty of them have more or less white
about their feet. Such as Dexter. Lex

white feet; Ethan Allen. etc. While

ure OF capsicum, l o.; mix. Feed
those articles of diet that are known tc
abound largely in nitrogen, VIZ: oats
and timothy hay, and give plenty Of mod

Suspended Remastication-M. H.
Preston, Ill:-Dr. Tuthill.-I have nc
doubt if the mouth is carefully examined
that sufficient cause will be found to &C.
count for the unwillingness of the ami
NAL to remasticate the food when thrown
into the mouth for that purpose. This
theory appears more reasonable from
the fact that the animal appears to be in
perfect health.
Interfering-E. L., Colon, St. Joseph

may be attributed to many different
causes, VIZ: To faulty action, from
badly constructed legs, improper shoe

leg weary, will often interfere.
