Colonel Younger, Of San Jose, has sold
pair OF short-horn Durham bulls for ex.
port to Guatemala.
Out Of 81 5S7 head OF sheep and lambs in
Garfield county, Washington TERRITORY, the
sheep commissioner reports 25,000 of them
diseased.
The Colfax, Louisiana, Chronicle saws:
"Our estimate that 5000 head of cattle have
been shipped from Grant parish within the
the figure. Mr.. Sode Lee. of Big Greek, in
forms us that he bought SAG head for Texas
buyers within the past four months. These
cattle went by way of Pineville and Alex.
andria, and Rapides got the credit for them
whereas they were all bought in Grant
parish"
In England, Scotland, and Wales, on the
LIST OF January, 1888, the landing OF cattle,
sheep and goats and all Illuminating ami
mails, and swine brought from the following
countries, was prohibited: Austro- Hun
gary Greece, Italy, Montenegro, Roumania,
Russia ana Turkey; the landing of cattle
brought from Germany aud Belgium, and
cattle, sheep or goats being, or having
been on board vessel at the same time
with animals so bought. No prohibition is
issued against animals coming from Den
mark or Sweden; swine coming from these
countries, however, are to be slaughtered
at the port of landing. All animals brought
from Canada, Norway, and the channel
islands, are allowed to be landed without
being subject to slaughter or quarantine.
Cattle, sheep, goats and swine brought from
any other countries are only allowed to be
landed at the foreign animals wharf for
slaughter.
The Breeders Gazette has the following
on the subject of feeding stock: Year by
year the comparative economy Of the differ
ent modes OF meat production is becoming
more important question. The pOssibii-
ties OF production are interesting, but the
question of profit compels inquiry as to
which OF the various methods available
will produce a given quantity aud quality
OF meat at the least cost. In general
way we say that 1t pays bes. to produce the
best articles. But this statement is not
sweepingly true. A saving of time, labor,
TODD or land may make one method to be
preferred over another. which gives more
or higher quality of produce. The day
is going by when unlimited feeding can be
practiced. Grain and other feeding stuffs
are becoming too valuable to be used care
lessly. 1t must not be forgotten that the
mass OF beet-eaters must be content with
something below the very finest and high
est,priced quality. Ability to make growth
and to lay on flesh rapidly when fed on
grass alone, is a most important recommen-
datioD.for any breed of cattle sheep or swine.
1t surely will be mistake to keep either
cattle, sheep or pigs on poor pasture this
summer, and then attempt to supply the
loss by high grain feeding next winter"
