SCIENCE in Stock -GrOWing.

Under this caption late issue of the New
York Tribune contains an article, which should
be widely read and pondered by every farmer
or breeder in the country. In a general way
it discusses the necessity Of the highest intel
ligence and skill in stock breeding and feed.
ing, in order to secure the best results in prot
its. 1t says
Stock growing sweeps through the whole
circle of rural economy, from the nomadc
practice of the Arabs to the advanced methods
of Holland and England, and commands sue
cess alike on lands that are priceless because
they cannot be sold, and those that are also
priceless because they cannot be bought. Ameri-
ca has Il broad range of free grazing, where
cattle and care are the only elements of cost !;
and also wide area of high-priced lands,
where science ana skill only can command re
munerative rent IN animal production.
The nomadlc practice has long been in sue
cessiul operation; the skilled and scientific
methods are slow and labored in their pro
gress, but comparing today with thirty years
ago we find fewer cattle and more meat in pro-
portion to population, fewer cows and more
milk, less of sheep and more of wool. Even
Texas, the plains, and the mountains of the
distant west are beginning to feel in their herds
the impulse of better blood The better class
of beeves, that weighed from 800 to 1000
pounds, now turn the scale at 200 to 1900
They come to maturity earlier, and the feeder
Is more systematic and unremltting IN his eff
forts to secure continuous growth. In these
respects improvement has scarcely com
menced; the small margin of profit is begin
ming to compel economy in feeding and tat
tening. Standing through storms of sleet ana
snow IN the lee of the stack is becoming It is
to be hoped, a thing of the past and the era of
comfortable shelter and full protection from
the weather's inclemencyis beginning to dawn.
The losses, not so much oflife as of flesh, or of
improving condition, have counted millions
annually from these causes, which have ever
been operative IN the past, and will doubtless
still exist in the near future. We have yet
much TO learn OF the economy of the judiciOus
combination of feeding materials. Every coun-
try has conditions OF climate, or soil or labor
which give TO its material and methods of feed
ing some marked pecuharity. We must not
only study these conditions In the light of
chemistry and animal physiology, of geology
aud meteorology, but we must give them IN
some degree separate and discriminating at
tentien In different sections of the country. !
Such skill must be carried further, and made /
TO include the product of animals. There was |
recently depression of the dairy interest. be-
cause quality has been sacrificed. Butter !,

care the cradle will outlast the binder. Where
men are plenty the grain can be cut cheaper
with cradle that 1t can be with selfbnder.
1t is not for American wheat growers to con.
graduate themselves on the cheapness of our
method of saving wheat. The English and
French methods are cheaper than ours.
The reasons we can undcrscll the English
farmers III their own markets are:
|. The high rents they have TO pay for the
use Of land.
,. Their land has to be doscd with manure
containing the elements the wheat plant re-
quireS, This Is a large item Of expense
3, They have damp climate, and have to
work with their bound gram, unshocking, and
turning the bundles, to keep the kernels from
Sprouung before it is fit to stack orhouSe The
sum total of these expenses is more than the
transportation charges from our wheat fields
10 their doors. So we are able to underscl
and distress them.
