OF the two families indicated. Figure 1
represents champion prize-winning bull
OF the Aberdeen-Angus breed. 1t is
claimed by the advocates of the Aberdeen
Angus cattle that they make better beeves
for stall fattening than the other black
Scotch cattle, the Galloways, but that the
Galloways are better adapted to roughing
il and picking up food for themselves than
the Aberdeens. At any rate both are well
adapted 10 cold climates.
The Galloways differ from the Aber-
deems in having curly or rough coat. In
the West the cowboys have frequently
tanned and prepared the skin of the Gal
loway in the same manner that the In
dian prepares the buffalo skin, and it is
said that the Galloway robe is scarcely in
ferior to the real buffalo robe. The hair is
thick, long and very glossy.

The Galloway comes from the southwest
of Scotland. The males have great pre-
potency and transmit their qualities with
such certainty that the marks are easily
discernible. Both in British America and
that part of the United States adjoining in
the Northwest the Galloways are a favor
lite, because of their hardness and easy
keeping qualities. 1t is safe to say that
kept and fattened than others on account
of their peaceable disposition. The Gal
loways are long and round in the body,
with short legs. The black hair has some
times a brOwnish shade.

Our cut shows the favorite strap leaf
kind, of which there are several varieties
excellent for market or family use.
For fall market purposes the White Egg,
so called from its shape, is said to be es-
pecially adapted on account of its quick
growth, white skin and sweet, firm and
mild flesh.
The white fat Norfolk is standard for
field culture; it is fine for stock and much
used for feeding with straw to sheep. 1t
often attains large size.
The Pomeranian White Globe, which is
very productive and grows very large in
good soil, is also superior kind for field
culture.

THE TARIFF ON ONIONS.
Forty Cents . Bushel-A Good Thing
for the farmer.

for the farmer.
New York Tribune.
The new tariff law, which offers protec-
ton alike to the farmer, the manufacturer
and the laborer, places a duty of 40 cents
bushel on onions. About 409, 597 bushels
of onions are imported into the United
States during the six months from January
to July 1. The increased tariff ON onions
is big thing for the farmers engaged in
truck" growing throughout the United
States and is bound to stimulate the onion
industry in the country, especially in the
Southern states.
q. S. Palmer, commission merchant at
No. 166 Reade street, who is large i'm
porter of onions. said yesterday to a Tri-
bune reporter: "Inasmuch as we have the
soil and climate to produce good onions in
our different ATTITUDES and an additional
protection placed on them by the new
tariff law, special inducements are offered
10 make onion growing more of speciality
and one of the leading features of our
Southern trucking sections, especially In
Florida, whose only competitors can be
Bermuda and Spain. The only necessary
thing Is to obtain the proper seed and
plant sufficiently early in order to compete
with those localities.
ave may not see again very soon," said
Mr.. Palmer. "such a continued favorable
market as at present. But to the Ameri-
an growers (who have no duty to pay)
prices about 80 cents per bushel lower
would be equally as profitable, as there
ought to be some little advantage to them
in lower freight rates as well. There
is one advantage the onion has as
Southern crop, in its not being
Immediately perishable. and it will
bear transportation well if properly cured
and packed, and sale need not therefore be
necessarily forced. Furthermore, onions
have become as staple an article of produce
as potatoes, corn or wheat. and are con-
sumed by all classes, and there is steady
demand for them from the time of their
first arrival from the general trade
throughout the United States from the
Atlantic to the Pacific coast.
s.But the one important feature is
their condition, and it is imperative that
they be well cured and in dry condition, as
no immature stock can be transported and
disposed of profitably. The following are
the correct figures (Which were obtained
