policy. We are selling our cattle
as we do our cotton, in the rough,
manufactured state instead of
turning it into good beef. The
south can feed and fatten its stock
as well as the west. Why does it
not do so !? Why allow the profits
of this industry to go to others, and
sell those others the raw materials ?
How great is our mistake is seen
when we consider that the country
is becoming the cattle district Of the
Union-the region lying between
the Rocky Mountains and the Miss
issippi-is more distant from the
great markets needing cattle than
the south; that its climate is more
rigorous and destructive to cattle,
and its grasses are no better than
ours. A little more prudence and
knowledge in feeding would give
the south this industry, and not
leave us to produce the cattle and
the west to feed them for the mar,
ket and reap nearly all the profit.

Col. Fred Burnaby, the daring Eng
lish writer killed at Abu Klea, in the
Soudan, was in his youth passionately
fond of gymnastics, in which he excelled
above all his fellows There used to be
in one of his clubs a colossal dumb-bell
| in a glass case with the offer of a heavy
wager that no man would hold it out at
arms length for the space of 60 seconds.
The wager was never won, though Bur
uaby made nothing of accomplishing
the feat. Among the many stories of
his physical powers one related to a pc
riod shortly after he joined the Blues.
The regiment was down at Windsor, and
a horse dealer who had come into possess
/ sion of a couple of very small ponies had
taken them thither by command to ex-
hibit them to the queen. Before going
to the castle he showed them to the Off
GERS of the Blues, to whom a happy
thought occurred. Burnaby, who was
captain then, was in his room on the first
flight. With some trouble the ponies
were got upstairs, and, the door quietly
opening, they trotted in unannounced.
This was a capital joke and had a great
success. But, as presently appeared it
had a gloomy side. The ponies had gone
upstairs quietly enough; but neither
force nor entreaty could induce them to
go down. The hour approached at
which they were to be presented to the
queen, and the owner was in dispair.
Burnaby settled the matter off-handed.
Taking pony up in either arm he
walked down stairs and set them in the
| courtyard.

CATTLEIN THE SOUTH.

Some of the southern papers, says
the New Orleans Times-Democrat,
are complaining very properly of
the fact that the statistics of the ag-
ricultural department show a large
loss in the number of cattle in the
southern states during the past year.
In January, 1884, the south except
ing Texas, had 6,592, 787 cattle in
January, 1885, $3.50, $50, loss of
56,087, while the population was in
ereasing. Even the great state of
Texas, with its immense cattle ran
ehes showed a decrease, falling from
4,277,70 in 1884 to 4,234,928 in
1885, loss of 1911.
This is not due to any loss of cat
tie by severe weather or to decrease
from any other cause. As matter
of fact, the cattle are increasing in
the south rapidly, as rapidly as in
any portion of the country, but the
west not the south, is getting the
benefit of it. The western buyers
have been travelling through the best
districts and thinning out the stock
by purchasing cattle to take west
with them and fatten. This is bad
