POOR STOCK AND POOR PRICES.

The Live Stock Review, of Buffalo, N. Y,
says of a feature of the trade often noticed
here: The strong prices realized in this
market for some time past for stockers and
feeders has had a tendency to bring for
ward an unusually large number of this
class OF stock, and during the last two weeks
prices have undergone a marked declined,
but this fact is not owing so much to the
large numbers on sale, as that many own
ers of stock cattle have hurried forward a
very poor and undeveloped lot of steers and
heifers, hoping to catch the rise. AS a con-
sequence, dealers who, about every week,
buy largely of cattle to feed have given this
nurly stuff the ''go-by," and when they are
disposed of, the owners have gone home
with long faces and light pockets and al
though they may have thought when they
left home that their stock was 'sas good as
anybody's," they have learned by sad expe-
rience that it is we'll for them to get them
in good condition before shipping. Most
noticeable among this class are those COM
ing from Canada, which from their usual
superiority over the average Western stock
ers have been preferred by feeders, and
when in good condition have been readily
taken at fair average higher price. Put
them in condition, gentlemen, and then
bring them along, and go home happy
when they are sold.

AMERICAN PLEURo-PNEUMoNIA.

It might seem from all accounts says the
Prairie Farmer that the English v%eterinari-
an inspectors are as far out of the way in
the decision that the Ontario's cargo had
contagious plenro- pneumonia, as was the
Inspector at Chicago, who was first sure it
was, and then was as. sure it was not pluro-
pneumonia at the stock yards. Professor
Brown, Of the English commission decided,
that the lungs sent mp from the Ontario,s
cargo had been diseased for a long time, and
tlat the disease was Of a most infectious.

new veterinary college at E~dinbGrg--who

the cattle were suffering from a. sporadic
pleuro-pneumonia, four or five /; (2) pulme-
nary congestion, several; and (3) the pur-
est pleurisy you ever saw in your life, with
out any lung consolidation whatever. In
two OF them, that is those with pneumonia,
the consolidation extended into the lung
lobes, but in the rest the disease was con-
fined to the small interior lobes. Now in
this country we find the c%ontagiousa to be
in ninety-five case out of 100 in the larger
lobes and close to the diaphragm. This
fact in itself ought to have made the inspec.
tors hesitate, bat they had made up their
minds, and nothing could have moved them.

FACTS IN BRIEF.

You cannot take thoroughbred mares in
discriminatory and breed them to ~trottine
stations with the best of results. 1t is nee
essary to choose those which have a tenden-
cy to acquire the fast trotting. step. The
main advantage to be derived from the use
OF thoroughbreds is form. They will help
to control the form and thus add to the ster-
ling qualities of speed and, endurance, It
has been claimed that Mambrino Gift was q
better trotter than Scotland. Both were
the foals of W%aterwitch; the first named
was by Mambrino Pilot, and the second
named by imp. Bonnie Scotland. Conced-
ing this to be true, for the sake of
u establishes nothing. Mr.. Simpson makes
= third comparison "Waterwitch was bred
to Alexander>s Belmont, andsa ine-looklng
chestnut mare was the result. She was
trained in the East, brought to Denver and
driven, and finally came to California.
From what we saw of her we do not be-
heye she could trot II 2:45, but that does

In relation to the sale of blooded stock at
Perdae University, the seat of the Agricul-
tural college of Indiana, the Indiana Farmer
says: The Short-horn bull whicht cost.

Jersey cow offered brought but 1925. while
the three-year-old Jersey bull was knocked

not prove that Belmont is inferior as the

not prove that Belmont is inferior as the
getter of trotters. To the contrary we
know that he has been eminently success
tul, and there must be causes which cannot
be accounted tor which made the produce
inferior to Others" When sires which are
deemed prepotent in trotting blood fail, as
they often do ever when crossed on winning
dams, why should we magnify the failure
of every thoroughbred sire on a trotting
dam? Mr.. Simpson very correctly says
that the charm of breeding lies in their un-
certainty of the pursuit. Were the coup
ling ola stallion with a mare reduced to an
exact science, the fascination of the bust
ness would be gone.-Tugss..Fgeld and Farm.

little better in proportion, and adds: We
regret the necessity, if such it was, that led
to this wasteful sale. 1t looks very much
like taking a long step backward, in so far
as the agricultural feature of the manage
ment is concerned.

WOOL AND WOODEN GOODS.

WOOL AND WOODEN GOODS.
The history Of the wooden fabric industry
OF the United States during the last few
years, If it could be written up by compe-
tent authority, would be full of interest to
the political economist as we'll as to the
members of the trade. The fortunes which
were made in the flush times of imitation
have nearly all DISAPPEARED, and the way
side is strewn with the wrecks of small and
large mill interests. Wool in common with
the raw material of other manufacturing in
dustries has declined in value very heavily,
but here the parallel ends for it has not yet
come down to SO low a point as to enable
manufacturers to compete with the WOODEN
fabrics of European countries in the mar
kets of the world, and until our mills are
enabled to secure wool as cheap as foreign
manufacturers obtain their supplies the
trade will labor at a very great disadvan-
tage. We are "bearding the lion in his den"
with our fabrics OF cotton and iron, and
many others Of less prominence, but our
trade in wooden goods is confined to the
limits OF our W country and that is not
the worst of it, for Europe with her cheaper
wool is enabled to undersell us in our home
markets as regards many Of the fabrics
most in request. The Wool-growing inter-
est has demanded and received from the
government, protection to an extent which
our manufacturers require and which now
costs them fifty per cent. more than it costs
the European manufacturer. This is all
very we'll for the wool-grower as long as he
can sell his wool in our domestic markets,
butt If our wooden manufacturing industry is
destroyed-and destroyed it will be if it
does not find some relief-rthere will be no
home market for wool and it will have to
be exported and sold in competition with
the production of other countries at much
lower prices than now prevail here.
The manufacturers here, have doubtless
been much to blame for the course which
they have pursued during the past few years
IN buying supplies early in the season d-
rect from producers at higher prices than
they could afford to pay and higher than
AAey could have etyasz.ssnea the same grade Of
