The Rest the Chsnnsst

The only sure foundation on which to
stand in horse breeding, is that the
BEST is the cheapest. By this it is not.
intended to convey the thought that
the most expensive stations are neces-
sarily the ones to be used, for they may
have fictitious value, because of some
phenomenal performance or offspring.
But the term best must cover not only
speed and inheritance, but powers of
transmission. Blood lines cannot be
ignored, but these do not guarantee
merit. There must be worth in the
individual; he must have smooth,
easy, natural action, as well
as size and conformation, and
with these, inherited virtues intensified
by education. Such orse Is
valuable, and when coupled to mares of
positive worth, the colts are almost sure
to have merit, for they are the best.
These colts can be more cheaply reared
than nondescrIpt stock; it costs no more
to shelter them, while it surely costs less
to govern or train. An intelligent sire
and dam will virtually insure an equally
intelligent colt; and when all the other
prime essentials are coupled with this,
the result will be a valuable horse, and
one which will be wanted. This is the
stock in demand to-day and which
always will be wanted. There can never,
be q surplus of the best, and because of
the scarcity prices will always rule high.
Don t breed any more medium stock.

A Big Beef Combine.

Information from Chicago is to the eff
feet that J. E. Booge, D. L. Hedges
and A. s. Garrettson of Sioux City,
Iowa, are in the city in consultation
with Armour and other big dressed beef
men on a matter which promises to
revoluhonize the meat business of the en-
tire Pacific coast. Hedges in an inter-
view said: ''All our deals thus far have
been successful. We expect to establish
immense packing houses in San Fran
cisco and begin operations at once.
Butchering on the Pacific slope is stif1s
carried on in its primitive way, and as
San Francisco is to the Western slope
what New York is to the Eastern coast,
it is easy to see the practicability of our
scheme. A few million dollars have
been secured, and we can get more IL it
should be needed. We not only decidsas
on San Francisco for the plant, but $50
on smaller establishments in different
sections of the West. Perhaps we MAT
do something in the state o. Washi1g-

wyoming Cattle conditions.

The annual meeting of the Wyoming
stock-growers association, at Chey-
enne, was attended by representative
cattle growers from the entire Wyoming
range country. Reports from the ranges
are to the effect that, with the exception
of Southwestern Wyoming, where the
losses have been severe, this has been
the mildest winter that has been ex-
perieuced for the last six years. The
losses throughout the territory will not
aggregate 2 per cent. of the herds.
Satisfies recently gathered showed that
the number of steers marketed at Chi
oago from points west in 1889 was l 900,
600 head less than in 1886, while the ag
gregate of all cattle marketed was 80
per cent. greater in 1889 than in 1886.

hams and shoulders, when properly
cured, find ready market in all large
cities, and are of such superior quality
that private purchasers often order them
from our farms six months in adj
vance.
''In 1869 imported fourteen Berk-
shire hogs, q few of which 1 sold, to go
to Missouri. at 5000 each. They were ex-
hibited at the great pork packers exhI-
bition at ST. Louis, in 1872, / think it
was, where there were some 1000 entries
OF all breeds from Europe, Canada and
the United States, and these, with their
progeny, took first prize on boar and
sow, first and second prizes on SOW and
litter of pigs, first prize on hogs under q
year old, and prizes on pigs under six
months old. I mention these facts to
cause these animals were brought in
competition with Others of all breeds,
and of course with the best specimens of
them that could be procured.
"The Berkshire is black in both hair
and skin, but in dressing the black skin
comes off with the hair and the pork
dresses perfectly white. The hair is fine
and glossy, but rather thin and
quite free from all tenden-
cy to the woolly undercoat which is
80 much disliked in pigs There is
white splash on the face, the feet are
white and so is the end of the tail. These
peculiar marks are all reproduced very
exactly in the pure breed.
81 must say know OF no other variety
OF swine that is SO desirable for the
farmer for hams, shoulders and bacon. -

The westeru Beef Trade,

The number of cattle killed by the
Western dressed beef shippers and beef
packers has been largely increased dur
ing the past year. AT Chicago the gain
is about So per cent. and the total for
other points shows an increase of 4319
per cent.-the aggregate being nearly
1615 per cent. A portion of the product
of these slaughterers is used locally, but
much the larger percentage represents
dressed beef shipments. Returns to the
Cincinnati Price Current show that five
firms at Kansas City killed 49,, 1893 head
of cattle for twelve months ending March
1, 1890; three firms at South Omaha,
25l 1868; two firms at Sioux City, IL 1904;
