The question whether mutton sheep
will improve in price next season is
mixed. There is some prospect, how
ever, that breeding sheep of the mutton
build will be in active demand, since
both in the north and southwest agri-
culturists are engaging more and more
in sheep farming.
In grading up your flocks and herds
always use full blooded sire.
The tendency at present is to import
fewer draft horses and better ones from
Europe. In England, Scotland and
France for the past few years it seems
as if anything and everything has been
considered good enough to send to Amer
lea, SO great was the demand for draft
horses and so ignorant apparently We're
American breeders of the points of
really first class animal. Now, however,
our breeders and importers have had
their eyeteeth cut. They have imported
this year fewer draft horses than last
year, but the ones that came are of
higher quality.
Here is a note for farmers and impe-
universal testimony of butchers and meat
dealers is that the best beef in the mar
ket, that which commands the highest
price, is the home fattened steer or heifer
which the small farmer singles out from
his few cattle and sells. The demand
for meat is so great that of course the
large herds shipped east by the car load
are a necessity, but the sweetest and
tenderest, that which commands the
most money, comes from the little
lunches of home grown beef and don't
forget it.
w. T. Woodlands second combination
horse breeders sale of the season will
take place at Lexington, KY, Feb. IS to
25. All breeders of first class horses are
allowed to bring their animals to this
sale and dispose of them.
Some of the best sheep raisers begin to
breed their ewes on Christmas day.
OF course nobody can tell much about
it for certain, but the prospect is that
better prices will be realized for cattle
the latter part of the winter than was
the case during the beginning of the
season. There was great rush of beef
cattle to market in the fall from the
west and northwest, because both corn
and water were scarce. That rush be-
ing over, good prices for prime stock
can hardly fail to be realized.
Never keep crooked tailed cock as a
breeder.
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1891-01-23
Points of Interest.

This fact stands out in the midst Of
the disastrous experience of numerous
sheep raisers in the past half dozen
years: The price of wool has been like
the Indians description of the white
man, mighty onsartain," but more and
more mutton has been consumed every
year. The inhabitants of the United
States are becoming sheep eating peo-
pie, and you can depend on that. When
wool does not pay, therefore, you can be
sure that good fat mutton always will.
In western Colorado mutton brings a
better price per pound than beef.
The hogs of Maine, Rhode Island and
Connecticut bring the highest price per
head of those of any of the states.
The year 1890 has added more than a
thousand new trotters to the 2:30 list in
America.
A movement is now on foot to cross
the American trotting horse with En-
glish hackneys. 1t is expected that from
this cross an animal will result which
will possess the speed of the trotter and
the strength and size Of the hackney.
1t is hoped to produce superior car
riage horse from the cross
Big hogs are raised in South Dakota in
spite of the belief that swine thrive best
in a warmer climate. A farmer near
Sioux Falls lately sold seventy-five hogs
that averaged 1915 pounds apiece. But
how old were they?
If the sheep is healthy and growing,
putting on flesh instead of shrinking,
the mutton will not have a woolly flavor
1t is the sheep that is ON the down grade
that produces woolly mutton.-Field
and Farm.
Eastern farmers should think how it
would seem to go out among their herds
some morning and find that from fifty
to hundred of their best and latest
cattle have been killed OF stolen during
the night This is what the redskins
have been at in some localities.

FEEDING SMUTTY CORN.
What 1t Has Done 20 Valuable Live stoca
I'm =ennessee.

What 1t Has Done 60 Valuable Live Stock
in =Nnnessee.
Near New Middleton considerable corn
was gathered that had rotted on the
stalk; some of the corn had considerable
smut, This corn has been fed to horses,
rattle and hogs. w. B. Denny recently
lost a horse; James Enoch also lost =
horse; Lewis Allen had horse to
die, and the Widow Pruitt lost one also.
Several other horses died quite recently
In that neighborhood. Post mortem
examinations were made in four cases,
the result showing death to be caused by
rotted and smutty corn.
Mr.. Gibbs, living about a mile on the
south side of the river, has a fine colt
sick, the result of feeding smutty corn,
30 supposed. James Davis has a fine
mare that he expects to lose any minute;
she has been fed on rotted and smutty
corn.
These cases were investigated by our
informant, and nearly every animal had
been kept up and fed on corn, the own
ers not having in most instances any
bluegrass pasturage, which acts as
purge. The lungs of each animal dis
sected were completely stopped up.
j. H. Walker, veterinary surgeon of
Alexandria, sold recently fine mare for
5000, the animal to be delivered the next
day. The morning following the mare
was given two ears of rotted corn by a
colored man who had her in charge. She
died in about two hours afterward with
spasmodic collie. Mr.. Walker is satisfied
the corn killed her.
Alexander Thompson, living on Buff
falo creek, lost horse last Saturday
morning. Mr.. HALEY, our informant of
the above, states that considerable smut
ty and rotted corn was gathered in his
neighborhood, and that his own mules,
which had been fed little of the corn,
are afflicted with bal coughs, resembling
distemper. Smith County (Tenn.) Rec

REARING sHoRTAORNs.
What a Veteran English Breeder Has to
Say About II.

Say About 1t.
John Handley, of Greenhead, West
moreland, who is one of the most sue
cessful breeders and exhibitors in Eng
land today, gives in The Breeders Ga
zette his views on breeding as follows
If were starting a new herd of Short
horns / should buy the best looking
females that | could lay hold of, com
bining milking and beef producing quail
tiles, making doubly sure they were of a
good, sound constitutional family. We
breeders must endeavor to produce a
good milking Shorthorn, and when dry
COW that will quickly get fat. | be-
lieve we have Shorthorns in this district
that combine, as a rule, the milking and
feeding properties in way that no
other breed of cattle in the world can
equal.
AS to the selection of male Short
horn as a sire for stock purposes gener-
ally, | am always particular to try to
obtain an animal with the best individ-
ual merit; | always hesitate to use bull
unless he is descended from good milk
ing family. His dam ought to have a
good sized and nicely shaped udder, and
his grandam also. During the last ten
or fifteen years | have used bulls de-
scended from the champion Royal En-
glish blood. If any person asks me
what | would prefer to use as sire /
should reply Champion of England
bull descended from first class family
on both male and female side. NAV
state that have had the pleasure of us
ing in the Greenhead herd of Shorthorns
something like ten Royal and Highland
of Scotland first and champion prize
winners during the last ten years. NY
motto in buying male animal for herd
purposes is, buy the best animal | can
lay hold of descended from good milk
and beef producing parents, giving fash
ionable and line breeding only second
airy consideration.
In breeding Shorthorns of the present
day, when fashion and line breeding are
fast dying out of date, it is good looking
and strong constitutional and robust
animals that breeders must try and
breed to make Shorthorn breeding pay.
1t is my humble opinion that fashionable
or line breeding and the craze that some
people got for blood and fashion was the
greatest curse that ever occurred in
Shorthorn breeding.
The sires that have generally been
used at Greenhead have had strong ad-
mixture of Booth blood. From no one
herd in Great Britain of late years, be-
lieve, have descended more Royal and
Highland winners than the herd of the
late William Linton, of Sheriff Hutton,
w. York. who generally used pure Booth
sires and who was the breeder of Sir
Arthur Ingram and Beau Benedict, used
at Greenhead and Englewood Bank, two
Of the most impressive sires of late years,
and from which more Royal and High
land winners have descended than al
most any other two bulls. If you have
good sires and good dams | think people
are bound to breed something good,
either for the show yard or the sale
ring

The stock farmer has the most indie
pendent lifein the world, says The West
ern Agriculturist. His stock and grass
grows day and night, rain or shine, with
out host of hands to feed and pay off.
He is more Independent of the bad sea-
sons than the grain grower, who loses a
crop when the season is bad. True,
there is nothing now to brag of in prices
of stock, but still it is better than any
have high grade stock we get the top of
the markets that pay well even in these
times.
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1891-01-23

Salt all your live stock at least once
week. Milk cows ought to have large
pieces of rock salt near their watering
troughs, where they can lick it when
they feel like it.
In Europe it is the general impression
that sheep cannot be raised unless root
crops, such as turnips, carrots, ETC., are
cultivated for them. But in this coun-
try of high priced work and labor saw
ing devices, it has been found that sheep
thrive quite as well ON ensilage, thus
avoiding the back breaking and expen-
sive task of cultivating and digging
turnips.
The Arkansas valley is becoming a
great hog country, 1t possesses unri-
vailed advantages of climate, and is ad-
mirably adapted in other respects to the
swine industry.
More and more breeders are falling
into the habit of dehorning cattle. One
who once adopts the practice rarely
allows horns to grow again. Dehorning
is not greatly painful to the animal if
done in the right way when the calf is
young, when the horns are no more than
mere protuberances. Soaring the bud
ding horn knobs with hot iron is one Of
the methods adopted.
A small flock of hens (ten to twenty
fve) can be kept laying steadily through
the winter by giving them warm quar-
ters, scraps of fresh meat, grain and a
variety of food, being careful that they
do not get too fat. And in these small
focks lies much profit to the farmers
wife and daughters.
