DR.. G. c. Caldwell's estimation of the
value of Dat straw at II per cent. of tina:
Of average meadow hssy and wheat straw
at 70 per cent. furnishes an answer to
the question, Why is it that sheep Win
ter well on straw: An authority i nsuch
matters explains that as straw is usually
fed more freely than hay, the animal
makes up in quantity what it lacks in
quality. Besides cheapness, straw has
also this to recommend it: That hay
tends to constipation'o of the bowels and
straw does not. Animals free from con-
stipation do better on the same amount
of food than those afflicted with that
malady. By noticing the difference in
the consistency Of the %droppings of straw
fed and hay fed sheep n can readily
tell that straw keeps the bowels in bet
ter condition, and while sheep SO fed do
well, it is evident That straw is the
preferable sheep fodder. In this way
wintering sheep is reduced to a mini
mum.-Nor'west Farmer.

beside which he will use the water to irri-
gate his own farm. The total cost of sink

The Shortage in Steers.

Today we discover that the country is
absolutely destitute of steer cattle of
suitable ages for feeders. The entire list
of corn growing states is steerless, out
side OF the feeding pens. The range
country has but few and the demand is
increasing daily. A visit to the feeding
yards throughout all the corn growing
states will develop the fact that in a very
large proportion of them both heifer and
steer yearlings are being grained for the
shambles. Why? Not because they are
the most profitable, but because there is
nothing else to be had. This is the direct
result Of the wholesale slaughter of COWS,
calves and y%earlings that has been going
on for three years in every part Of the
United States, and the resulting shortage
will become more and more apparent for
the next three years. Growing out of
this condition the price Of cattle on foot
must rapidly appreciate from month to
month until there will come a veritable
boom in all classes Of beef animals. How,
high prices will go and when the top will
be reached are questions no man can,
answer.-Montana Live Stock Journal.

Points of Ilterest.

Jonathan Talcott says in The New
York Examiner that his way of protect
ing sheep from dogs is to house them at
night and let them run in pasture with
a herd of horned cattle in the daytime.
He keeps no dog, and his cattle look on
all dogs as enemies and make short
work Of them when they come near.
The value Of beef, pork and dairy ex-
ports from the United States for one
month this summer, June, was $l2,2A,-
Obs. That was a million and a half
more than the value of exports of bread
stuffs for the same time. According to
this showing grain is not by any means
the most important of our surplus prod
ucts.
Farmers are learning that hogs must
have pure air, clean pens and fresh,
bright water. No flesh fed on garbage
OF carrion is fit for mans food. If a hogs
food and shelter are as clean as a steers
the flesh of that swine cannot be un-
healthy any more than the flesh of a
chicken which feeds on the same things
a hog does; but the cleanliness and care
must be insisted on.
Quite a demand is springing up for
what is called Philadelphia frozen poul-
try. The fowls are killed, dressed, and
packed away in barrels or boxes and
then frozen. They are kept in refrigera-
tors one to two years, and it is thought
that this long period of freezing improves
the flesh. The freezers say they can
keep poultry thus an almost indefinite
time, but after ten or twelve years it has
a somewhat stale taste. Naturally, one
would think. These frozen fowls COM
mand a higher price than others in the
summer market, a good sized chicken
retailing fer from rs cents to 81 in the
large cities. It is said that a freeze Of
two years makes the best chicken for
eating.
If a horse sets his foot well forward,
heel striking the earth first, he will not
be apt to stumble. The stumbler sets
his foot down toe first.

When tho Union Bridge Is Opened.
1t is rumored and generally believed
that The Pennsylvania Company will
run all Cleveland trains across the Union
bridge to Wheeling, when the bridge is
completed, instead OF running on down
10 Bellaire, as they now do, and have
for many years. An INrKLLIGEScER
reporter WAS told Of this yesterday by
a gentleman who is well up on railroad
matters, and he probably knows what
be is talking about. lie saws that an
arrangement has already been made ior
the crossing Of. both Cleveland trains
daily and other cara. The two Cleve.
land trains referred to are the ones
leaving Martins Ferry at 1 :SS a. m. and
l:07 p. m., and arriving at 1910 a, m.
and 7:4G D.. N. The Cleveland & Pitts.
burgh has already made connections
with the Terminal, and it is said that
this is one Of the reasons why this con.
nection was made. Wheeling people
have always patroufzed the Cleveland &
plttshurgh very libsrally, especially
those going to Cleveland, and tic COM
pany wants to hold this trade. Under
the present arrangement, Wheeling
people are obliged to 20 to Bridge
port to catch Cleveland trains, aud
come from there alter returning from
Cleveland. Persons wanting to 20 on
the 4:5S a. m. train are Obliged to get up
at an unreasonable hour. while il trains
left Wheeling they would not have to
get up so early. The Cleveland, Lorain
4 Wheeling will be improved and many
already 80 over this route to Cleveland
in preference to the Cleveland & Pitts
burgh. The Baltimore & Ohio now runs
trains from Wheeling to Cleveland, aud
the Wheeling 4 Lake Erie, which will
soon be here, will have good ron.e to
70 over: For this reason the pennsyl-
vauia Company is anxious TO run
Cleveland trains into Wheeling. Such
an arrangement would also increase
travel to intermediate points. An
official OF the Cleveland l. Pittsburgh
was asked what he knew about the mat.
ter, and while bo was not communica.
tive, he admitted that the Compa
might run two Cleveland trains over
the Union bridge every day. ags.
