At the Hornelsyille, n. Y, fair, $50.
600 worth dogs were shown, while the
sheep exhibited were worth much les
than that sum.
Many of them openly, and many Of
them under cover, the manufacturers
are trying to bring Influences to bear in
favor of free carpet woods.
The number of sheep reported from
Australia for the last year is reported at
$685. $40. valued at $2.40 per head,
Sheep aggregate more in value there
than all other kinds of live stock COM
bined.
The farmers of Texas make living
so easily that they have no present need
of the sheep, or at least one would sup
pose so from looking over the farms 10
Texas. Not one farm in fifty has a
sheep npon it, says an exchange.
One reason why sheep breeders and
wool growers refuse to breed the inn
proved mutton sheep for meat purposes
is because they haven't the remotest
idea of the difference between that
which they grow and that which they
ought to grow, says the Rural World.
All mutton to them is mutton as good
as can be, and it seems to be impoSSi-
BILE to teach them the difference,
They just will not believe it, cannot do
so, we suspect, without taste of the
genuine article. And yet the breeders
OF mutton sheep were never so numer-
erous as now, nor was the demand for
the stock ever so great. Many breeders
report that they cOuld't begin to supply
the demand for rams, especially of the
Southdown aud Shropshire breeds, and
we have no doubt the same is true of
tie Cotsworlds and OXfords.

BEEF CATTLE.
What Was Effected With Rere-
fords Selected by the Indiana

What Was Effected With Rere-
fords Selected by the Indiana
Farmer.
The best object lesson in behalf of
grade beeyes over common, is the test
of the markets. If a farmer will con-
slider the matter from this standpoint, it
will influence him very quickly to stop
wasting his products in growing and
feeding 1,OO0-pound beef cattle. A few
days ago MesSrS. Earl d Stewart. of
Lafayette, Ind, marketed tWenty-Seven
head of beef cattle, of which seven
head were pure bred and twenty
grade Herefords. Seventeen head
averaged 1,796 pounds, and sold
for $3.50 per hundred; ten of them
being three-year-Olds and seven two
years old. The remaining number
averaged 1,540 pounds each, and sold at
the same price. all being two years old.
The average price of beef cattle the day
these were sold was 50 per hundred. Mr..
Stewart says of these cattle:
"They were FED in open lots without
shelter and had 10 extraordinary care
of any kind. They ran OIL grass during
summer, ate six bushels of corn per day
since September year ago, and had
hay during the winter. They were fol-
lowed by hogs that fattened on the
dloppings and sold f, 7 enough to pay
for all the corn fed. The corn was
bought at the elevator. 1t was always
shelIed and sometimes ground. The
books. carefully kept, show the whole
transaction, and they show handsome
profit.
1--WE only fat few cattle in this way
just to show breeders, who come to buy
fnIS yTrINn lNn
done with the Hereford cattle. They
are choice stock for beef. The butchers
know it. and they always command a
premium in the market"
Being asked about the grades" he
said: "Thcy are crosses with every
variety of stock with the thorough
breds. When l was in Kansas | bought
two calves whose mothers were Texas
cows. They were crossed with the
thoroughbred Herefords. One of these
Texas calves was the mother of one of
the 1.796 pound steers we have just put
on the market. You can depend on it.
the Hereford will carry his color and
weight 10 matter how he is bred" Be
ing asked about their disposition, he
said: ''They are as doclle and kind as
any cattle in the world. We have kept
a number of bulls on the farm for years,
and we have never had a single one that
showed a malicious disposition"
He concluded by saying, 1.-The fact is
that the Herefords are just as hardy as
any cattle, just as easily cared tor. Just
as easily fatted; they are superior to all
others tor beef, and for this reason they
are always in demand in the market at
an extra price. We prove this by put
ting them on the market, and this last
sale is clear demonstration of all that
is claimed for the Herefords.'

There should be no delay in getting
whatever breeding stock is needed.
Be sure that everything in the house
is kept dry except the drinking vessels.
Wind is nearly as bad as rain to make
the chickens catch cold.
Keep the poultry confined when it is
bluStry as well as when it is storming.
Coal oil Is one of the few materials to
use during the winter to keep down the
lice, besides making it healthier for the
fowls.
Unless especial care is taken, ii is too
early yet to set hens. Early spring
chickens are quite an item. but some
preparation must be made for them.
In many eases it will be found advisa-
Die to provide clean. broad board to
put the food upon. 1t insures clean
livers IN the food.
Geese ought not to bept unless care is
taken to fix the fences SO they cannot
modest the neighbors. They can be
kept in pasture the greater part of the
time.
In feeding milk to poultry, especially
during the winter, it will be advisable
to boil before feeding, as it will lessen
the liability to bowel diseases.
One of the mistakes of keeping large
number of fowls is that of keeping them
in too large flocks. They should be
kept divided into fiocks of thirty OF
forty, with about two good BOOSTERS to
each flock.
Three pounds of copperas and one
pint of cdrbolie acid dissolved in five
gallons of water makes good disinfect-
ant TO use during the winter. Apply
with sprinkler over the floor, sides and
roosts of the house, taking pains to do
thorough work.

GREAT BUTTER EXTRACTOR.
What an English Writer Has to
Say About Its Operation.


The butter extractor, which is really
a cream separator and churn COM
bined in one, does so in a manner which
we have hitherto considered wrong in
every particular, and if it is successful
i'll making really good produce, then ID
will, without doubt, reVOluti0niZe but
ter dairying. The speed at which it
works is that of the separator ordinarily
some thousands per minute), the theory
of action being that il the globules are
kept stirred up, the serum or skim
milk will flow out from between them
and allow them to coaleSce. The tenn
perature is about 90degrees Fahrenheit,
as that is found best for the purposes Of
separation, and in order to reduce this
to the proper point afterwards, the but
ter as it is made is dropped into ice
water. Besides this it is made from
perfectly fresh material, even more so
than i'll the case of ordinary separator
cream, which could be ripened il de-
sired. Contrast all this with our usual
data of forty to fifty revolutions per
minute, with a temperature of some.
where about 80 degrees Fahrenheit, and
with cream which is generally more or
less rlpened,. and one cannot but
be struck with the immense diff
ferences which exist, and wonder if it
is possible to produce equally good ma
terial by such extremely different ways.
We confess that we are very anxious to
know whether the butter extracted is
equal in all respects to ordinary produce,
because if it is there can be no question
of the superiority of the method for use
on large scale. The produce, how
ever, issues from the spout of the ex-
tractor in rather soft and milky state,
and must require some washing and
manipulation-not to speak of cooling
There is no doubt about the importance
of the matter to farmers and companies
who manipulate large quantities of milk
or cream.

DAIRY sHORrnoRNs.
A Herd Observed by the Farmers
Review Quite FaVorabiy.

r A Herd Observed by the Farmers
Review Quite Favorabiy.
AT last we have had the pleasure Of
discovering herd of dairy Shorthorn
cattle in this country. The cows are not
pure bred, but are high grade Short
horns, with slight dash of Jersey
blood, which is fast being bred out by
the use of pure-bred Shorthorn pull.
There are forty head of them in all, and
they are kept for the purpose of making
butter, for which there is a renumera-
tive demand among the private families
of Chicago. The bull comes from a
COW that was noted as great mixer and
butter producer, and, while he does not
closely conform to the recognized char
acter of the dairy bull, he is said to
transmit to his progeny the milking pro-
penSities of his dam.
The owner of the herd is an English
gentleman, who. before he came TO this
country, used ShOrthorns in the dairy
and learned to believe in them. Speak
ing with the writer few days ago he
SAID: II have known of many Short
horn cows which, when in milk, could
not possibly be made to lay on beef.
Their food all seemed to run to milk,
and they were as good dairy cows as
man could wish for. These COWS are
scarce in this country because the
breeders have given their attention to
the production of beef alone, but am
confident that can make ShOrthorns a
success in the dairy here just as well as
could in England.
From what we saw in this herd we
should say that already he is making q
success, for some of the COWS are pre-
eminently of the dairy type, wedge
shaped" and possessed of we'll de-
veloped milk vessels and veins. Their
owner tells us that when they are
fresh" they give from six to eight
gallons of rich milk per day, from
which butter of very high quality is
made. At present they are being fed
on cut corn fodder Containing pro-
portion of the Germ, hay, bran and Ship
stuff. They are heavily fed, the owner
endeavoring to proportion the amount
of food to the profit from the
products made from it. He could, he
says, increase the flow of milk of his
cows considerably by the use of a con-
diment which stimulates the appetites
of the cows and enables them to digest
the extra quantity of food consumed.
From this gentleman's herd might be
picked some cows which might consci-
entiously compete for the prizes offered
for dairy ShOrthornS, but his bull would
probably be considered anything but a
dairy animal.
At this stage of the work of encour-
aging the breeding of shOrthorns for the
dairy, the Farmers Review considers it
mistake Gas stated in its report of the
last Illinois state fair) to offer prizes for
shorthorn dairy bulls. First select COWS
that are worthy of the name OF dairy
animals, and from their progeny in time
the bulls will doubtless be obtainable.
But at present such bulls are scarce, to
say the least of it. Let the good work
of encouraging shorthOrn cattle for the
dairy go on, and there is not the slight
est doubt of ultimate success in attain
ing the desired end

farms it is lacking in the soil, and tho
food-stuffs grown on them must of ne

portance of a constant supply should
not be overlooked. Rock salt to lick iS

take it or refuse the food. Salt is

can, therefore, be no serious depriva-
ton without injury, and if the food.
does not contain it in sufficient quantity
it should be artificially supplied. The
amount may safely be left to the cow.

CHICAGO. Jan. 9.-There was little support
to the whole market most of the day. Much
of the buying was by shorts who took advan-
tage of each fresh decline to cover short
wheat by taking the offerings. The selling
was pretty well divided between shorts and
longs. The entire range of the market for
May up to 10 Cclock was half between S %
@Sl7sc and elSsc. The opening price was
Sl540S17Sc and the market was haggled all
the way down until about noon, when 1t
slowly gained strength and recovered from

o'clock. Receipts here were "a cars, but they
were about % cars over The estimated. The

$4,000 bu TO the continent and
decreased 10000 to the United King

-l42 ears a Minneapolis and 80 at Duluth.
Export cleaTances were moderate-only 81,
600 bu in wheat and -four from the three
Atlantic ports. Some one had a dispatch
saying that Russian wheat was pressing on
foreign markets. But all this was foreign to
this market. 1t was run by the local trade
almost regardless of outside news. There
appeared to be a concerted movement to put
the price lower William Young ~ Co., and
Cotrell, through White & Co, sold long
