a noted family of hogs, gentle. the best
fatten easily and quickly. They are our /
kind of hogs every time We love the /
habits and form of the Berkshire best, /
and their little, sharp pointed, peaked
up ears. small, short legs and chuffy head
suits Us to a i.
FL Dorado Times We have heretofore
spoken Of "Salie," q celebrated breeder
in j. /. McCune's Valley View herd Of
Poland Chinas. 1t was our pleasure q
short time ago to see this wonderful
brood SOW and nine pigs, six months old,
than which no purer bred or prettier ami
mails ever lived. Sallie herself is a true
type Of the Poland Chinas.
Mr.. Potter, a farmer residing near
Wellington, last year bred 200 common
COWS to two half-bTeed Galloway bulls,
from which he raised $50 calves. Three
ffths of the calves are black and horn
less. The remaining tWO-hfths are vari-
GUS ShOrt-horned cOlors, except three
which were black and white. This state
ment shows in a marked degree the pre-
potent influence of thOrOughbreds over
scrub or. nOndescript animals, for the
reason that the sires in this case were
only Of mixed breeds-presumably Gal
lOWays and ShOrthOrns.
OskaIoosa Independent: Several parties
in this locality have lost stock lately, and
as dogs have been seen chasing the cat
tie, it is supposed hydrophOba is the
cause of the deaths. In the neighbor-
hood this side of OsaWkee Jacob Brown,
NJ. Michaels, Jesse Newell, l.. Swing
and James N1ichaels have each lost one or
two head of COWS and calves. McGehee,
Briner and others, near town, have also
suffered loss in the same way, and j. W.
Roberts lost a valuable COW from injuries
received by being chased by dog, not
mad, but worthless.
The Dodge City C0agboy gives this
remedy for a cow sucking herself: Va
rious devices have been used for this
/ purpose. The most effective is a wooden
/ yoke or frame around the neck, made to
/ fit pretty close to the shoulders and
/ reaching to the head, sO.that the COW
/ cannot possibly bend her neck sideways,
while it does not interfere in the least
/ with the valsing or lowering Of the head.
/ 1t is made somewhat like the frame of
the bottom part Of chair, with four
side pieces Of proper length. But even
! with this device, a COW confirmed IN the
habit will manage to reach her udder by
/ bending her body.
Manhattan Republic: Three cases of
=
mich COWS in the east part of town. 1t
was since learned that the COWS had
been allowed to get into the Enclosure
/ which constituted the quarantine during
the time that Mai. N. A. Adams cattle
were afflicted here, and in grazing over
the ground occupied by them, they have
contracted the disease. Although the
i three COWS herein mentioned viii die,
no fears are entertained as to the posi-
bility of the disease spreading, as 1t has
been demonstrated that a native animal
cannot transmit the disease to other an
imals, and the quarantine fences and
gates will be more closely guarded In
future, so that cattle cannot get into the
Enclosure.
Kingman Courier: To say that King
man county has one Of the finest herds
of blOoded cattle in the State is no ex-
aggeratiOn. Col. Z. j. Jones has q pas
ture of blOOded stock, which consists OF
some $50 or 300 head Of ShOrthOrn cows
heifers and calves, besides two POlled
Angus bulls, answering to the names OF
Fancy Lad" and 'Shire" besides one
magnificent Hereford bull. These bulls
were imported from Scotland by very en-
inent breeders and importers of Here
ford, Aberdeen and Angus cattle. The
COWS, consisting of thoroughbred and
high grade ShOrthorns, were purchased
by the Colonel in the very heart Of the
blue grass country of Kentucky, his old
home, where he was raised. They are
nearly all deep red in color, the calves
and heifers are the same. The calves
are something magnificent to look at,
and tell what blood will do.
