THE CALIFORNIA THOROUGHBRED CAT
TLE-BREEDERS ASSOCIATION.

The association known as the Thoroughbred
Cattle breeders Association will hold its an
nual meeting at Changers Hall, San Jose, on
Tuesday, April 49, 1880. The members OF
the association meet together to compare
notes in reference to the different breeds of
stock, the adaptability of each to the differ
ent uses of man, and to discuss the most
effectual modes of improving the stock OF the
State by the more general introduction OF
thoroughbred animals. These are very i'm
portant objects, and should enlist the atten-
ton of large number of farmers of this State.
There is yet too much ignorance and inditfer-
ence about the different breeds of cattle, and
their adaptability to different uses. Farmers
should realize that the Shorthorns, the Ayr
shires, the Jerseys, and, in fact, all other
breeds, have their special uses, ana are
great deal more valuable and profitable
when put to these special uses. The
Shorthorns and the Herefords are especially
adapted to making beef, and hence those who
propose to raise cattle for beef and not for
milk or butter or cheese should by all means
raise one of these breeds. If a mixed use
be intended, as for butter and beef, it is gen.
orally acknowledged that the Shorthorns
are preferable to Herefords. And as
to whether either has the advantage
of the other when beef alene is
looked for, there is a difference of opinion
even among the most experienced breed
ers. In this State the Shorthorns are
certainly the more popular breed of the two
In some of the Western States the Here
fords, as purely beef-making breed, seem to
be gaining ground over the Shorthorns.. The
Jerseys and the Ayrshires are generally
classed as mich cattle in contradistinction
to beef cattle, and yet these two breeds
are. in all the characteristics that
go to make each valuable, almost
directly the opposite of the other. In one re-
spect they are alike both are small, and con-
seouently not beef stock, and should never
be considered by men who propose to raise
beef cattle for a business. Both are good
dairy stock, but they are each peculiarly
adapted to different branches of the dairy
business The Jersey is peculiarly adapted
to understanding, while the Ayrshire is the
better for cheese and for city diaries where
the'milk is retailed for family use. The Jer-
sey gives the richer milk, while the Ayrshire
gives more in quantity rule. The milk
of the Jersey is composed of coarser globules,
and is better adapted to churning, while
the milk of the Ayrshire is composed Of
finer elobules, and does not churn so well and
does not make as yellow or as good butter,
but will make more cheese of as good quail
ity. So you may go through with the prom
inent characteristics of all the distinct breeds
of cattle, and each appears to have some Pc
culiar characteristic that adapts them par

GOOD MILK.
present o0tlo

The best milk comes from cows that feed
on good, wholesome grass pastures, or from
new-mown hay. Milk from COWS fed on Stops
such as brewers grain, ETC.. is neither nutri-
tious nor healthy. Give us the milk from the
country COW that roams in the fresh pasture.
Though sometimes such milk may have
little too strong and fresh smell, it is
sure to be healthy and pure, and
will keep longer without souring.
If those who buy milk for family use would
take little pains to learn the mode of feed
ing and care of COWS from which their milk
is obtained, they would find it to their adj

OF frame supported by three wheels,
two OF which are smallrt, nd employed
only In supporting the main frame of
the device, while the third and alarger
one is used both as supporter Of the
frame and driver Of the machine. All
of the, wheels are furnished with rubber
tires, and the larger one is fixed to a
shaft extending across the frame and
carrying a ratchet, also a. loose pinion
provided withf a. pawIcapablo1'o or en-
gaging the ratchet. A foot pedal is
pivoted to the upper part of the pedo-
motor frame, and carries q segment
which engages the loose pinlonl on, che

foot pedal is depressed the segmef 1T rack,
by Its engagement with, the pinior,
turns the drive wheel and propels the
machine forwards. The motion Of the
foot necessary to impart rotary motion
to the drive wheel Is exactly the same
as that of the ordinary act OF walking.

Interatato Commerce. - Defeat OF tho Rea-
gan Bill.--The Substitute Proposed.

The Committee on Commerce Of the
House Of Representatives at Washington,
decided on February 18th, by vote Of
nine to six, to report a substitute for the
Reagan Bill. That Objectionable measure
Is practically defeated by this action. The
new bill proposes TO make the same laws
which are applicable to railroads engaged
III transporting freight between different
Estates also apply to the operations of
steamboats,, lake vessels and other water
crafts. 1t provides for the appointment of
q Board Of Commissioners who are to have
supervision of the entire subject of the
transportation of freight from one State or
Territory into or through other States and
Territories, and to examine into any COM
plants that may be made by the public of
unfair action on the part of common car
riers Of any class that are engaged in this
important business. Unjust discrimination
is forbidden under severe penalties, and in
case any of the transportcrs or transporta :
tion companies fail to redress any substan-
tial grievances brought to the attention of
the commissioners, proceedings are author
lied IN the United States courts. If the
proposed new law is found to be not fully
effective in furnishing remedies for any of
the real evils that have grown up in con-
nectlon with the management OF transpor-
tation between different States 1t is made
the duty Of the Commissioners to suggest
additional legislation, and to obtain and
furnish to Congress all information relating
to the operations of railroads that is likely
to prove useful and important IN this con-
nection. This bill provides much more
appropriate and just methods for accom-
plishing such reforms as may be needed
than the Reagan bill and with some amend
ments may be acceptable to the trans
portation interest of the country: or az
any rate, Will serve as basis for action,
should the plan suggested last winter be
adopted by Congress-, and definite legisla-
tion be deferred until commission Of ex-
perts shall be able to thoroughly Investigate
this complex subject and report their ma
ture judgment upon the matters at issue.
There is no question that more intelli-
gent conclusion could be reached in this
way, and one that would be more valuable
tolall the interests involved. On general
principles tentative legislation is hardly to
be recommended where it involves tho
traffic of forty millions of people and
capital aggregating forty-flve hundred mil
lions Of dollars. s'T

II is known that great quantity of
Invisible and finely divided meteoric
matter Is floating in space. At the late
meeting of the American association,
Prof. Pierce expressed the belief that
the aggregate Of this matter exceeds
the mass OF the visible celestial objects.
The idea is not new, as Mr.. Isaac lay
!or said nearly half a century ago !:
"The Invisible material creation, it is
probable, vastly outnumbers the visi-
bic; and 1t may justly be thought that
the worlds made known to us by
their inherent splendor, are to the un-
seen only In the proportion of the chiefs
of an army by the thousands that fill
the rank and file. 1t is as if from the
summit of tower we were looking by
night upon boundless plain filled with
the army of war, and could discern
nothing, but the gemmed crests of the
captains cleaning amid the countless
and unseen multitudes they were lead.
