shires are easily kept, are hardy and ex-
cellent breeders, producing calves till
they are 20 years old.
Cattle of this breed are of a rich dark
red color, verging often upon brown
and spotted with white. Like all milk
breeds the cows have small, narrow
faces and muzzles, with thin tails and
delicate legs. The neck tapers finely,
the hair is soft and thick. and the back
is remarkably straight. In a good milk

large behind, and the teats are set well
apart Ayrshire cows are very gentle

! MERlNOS IN AUSTRALIA.

\ Merino ram, Hero Prince. has sold
for the extraordinary price of $4,000, at
one of the ram sales held at Sydney, New
South Wales. At the sale, it is stated, in
less than three minutes from the start of
the bidding he fell to the bid of w. H..
Wott, of Howlong station. Another,
also bred in Australia, Pilgrim III. was
knocked down for the sum of S2.l50, to
the bid OF Hon. B. F. Sutton. The Mark
Lane Express tabulates some of the
prices realized by Merino stud rams at
various sales there. In 1888, at
Queensland, 81 1926 was the highest price
that year. In 1884 the highest for a ram
was $685.. In 1885. in Tasmania, S475
was given for a ram. In 1886, S2l5 was
the highest price paid. In 1887 a ram
sold for S605 in Tasmania. In 1888,
$500 was the best price paid. In 1889 the
highest price reached was $685., and an
other one sold for $645. While in 1890

WHOLESALE SACRIFICE OF RANGE
CATTLE IN THE WEST.

Some Language which Is Plain on This
subject-Not Enough Cows in the United
States to Produce a Steer Crop That Is
Sufficient for the Demand.
Any person who has had access to the
market reports contained in any of the
papers published throughout the coun-
try during the last four years knows
that the marketing of cattle has been
something wonderful. They know also
that cows and calves have been forced
on the market, and if the result has not
been reduction something is wrong.
Any person who has been connected
object was Il reduction or sacrifice of
cattle, as it was no longer a profitable
thing to run range cattle at the ruling
price, which has dropped lower and
lower because of an overcrowded market.
Now if this wholesale sacrifice which
has been going on since sc has not re-
suited in reduction it is one of the
seven wonders. Cattle holdings are
not increasing in this country; on the
contrary, they have been falling off for
years, and at this moment there is such
decrease in numbers as compared with
former years that a general knowledge
of the facts as they exist would stimulate
values, for the reason that once it be.
came generally known Just how many
cattle there are in the country, the ship
ment of she cattle, yearlings, calves and
no StI ,l,
would at once be seen.
We have said before that the trouble
with market prices of cattle is overrnar-
keting, and it is going to be apparent
very shortly that there are not cows
enough in the United States to produce
steer crop sufficient to supply the
home demand for beef if we should keep
the she stock and yearlings off the mar
ket for three years. Cows are worth
double the amount they will bring on
the beef markets for use at home if own
ers could only be convinced and hold
them off the market till the actual con-
dition of the product of the country be-
comes apparent, for the farm cattle have
been as Systematically sacrificed as the
range cattle, and the whole matter is go
ing to be forced upon the country with
all the horrors of a robbery of beef from
the dinner tables of the working classes.
Take a bunch" and hang on to any

The Suffolk is the farm horse of the
counties of eastern England. The writer
in The Agriculturist says:
The Suffolk horse of the present day
retains many of the leading features of
the breed the description of which is ex-
tant as he appeared at the close of the
Seventeenth century. Reference is made
to what he was like 1870 years ago in the
writings of some of the standard authors
on British agriculture. The color, the
short legs, the powers of endurance and
the persevering efforts at the collar were
his distinguishing points at that time,
and these are still a marked character
istic in the Suffolk as he is now to be
found in the east of England. But added
TO the merits named he has been endow-
ed with an activity and comely appear
ance not accorded to the original stock.
The Suffolk horse of the Nineteenth
century is among the most shapely and
certainly one of the handsomest animals
on the farm list. Invariably of chest
nut color. occasionally with darker
shade, and rarely whited beyond the
pastern joint or blaze down the face,
their uniformity in appearance at once
suggests the identity of origin. Indeed,
the pedigree charts which are given in
the first volume of The Suffolk Stud
Book account for this. Every stallion
of the breed III Suffolk can give his ge-
theological record of identified paternal
ancestry for 100 years. all ending in one
animal. OF no other breed can such a
thing be said and proved
The usual height of full aged Suffolk
stallion is about l6t hands-from 65 to
81 inches In weight he would gener-
ally come to about a ton-from 300 to
1900 pounds. His head is mostly light,
with lively countenance and hand
somely arched crest not unduly weight
ed His shoulders are long and his mid
die well arched, with deep ribs and
heavy quarters. His bones give one the
idea of not being sufficient for his i'm
mense width of carcass; but that is &C
counted for by the lack of hair, for the
bone Of well built Suffolk, stripped of
skin and what in other breeds is some
times beneath it, is invariably larger
than it appears. They live and flourish
on rations that would reduce the large
dray horse to "a skeleton, and at an age
when other breeds are worn out the Suf-
folk is usually hale and hearty servant.

WHY VARIETIES RUN OUT.

All of our fruits originally came from
wild species and have been changed by
the peculiar conditions of culture. In
their native state the same forms we're
produced year after year, but in the gar
den great changes are made by the gar
dener, who, skilled in the art of selection,
is enabled to create entirely new forms
by propagating according to plan and
under the influence of special conditions
New species arising from natural selec-
ton will maintain themselves more per-
manently than species obtained under
artificial conditions, and will go back
less easily to the original forms, although
the transformations which produced the
changes are the same in both cases. Wild
fruits seldom become extinct. because
the conditions under which they live
are nearly always the same They are
improved In their native haunts by pure
air, rich soil and bright sunlight. When
we speak of degeneration or detcriora-
ton of fruits we mean decline of their
good qualities in health, hardness and
productiveness. This lack of vitality
may be due to the methods of growing,
the seasons or climate influences, incess-
ant propagation from the same stocks.
or perpetual growth on the same spot,
ana to mildews, rusts, rOts and fungus ell
ements which have within late years done
serious damage. Fruit demands constant
care and high culture to keep it up to
the standard, and it degenerates quickly
when neglected or in any way does not
receive the proper care.-[Farm and

SOME MORE DISCUSSION ABOUT THE
BEST FARM HORSE.

Good Illustration of Suffolk Punch
Stallion-Favorite Farm Horse in the
Eastern Counties of alphabetically
Kept and Lasts Long Time.
Authorities differ. William Crozler,
in his excellent work on farming, says
that the Clydesdale is par excellence the
horse for the farmer, while the Suffolk
Punch makes the best possible draft
horse for city work, being capable of
hauling immense loads. He pronounces
the Suffolk too slow however, for farm
work in America
writer in The American Agricultur-
list, however, says that the Suffolk Punch
is just the spry, easily kept beast that is
wanted for farm use, and that the En-
glish Shire horse, or truck horse, is the
one exactly adapted for heavy city haul
ing. 1t is certain that the Clydes ar
Percherons are as yet more popular as
draft and farm horses than either the
Shire or Suffolk Punch. The illustration
shows an excellent type of an imported

Wasting Hay.

Tons of hay are annually paved under
the horses feet and go to waste. 1t is true
there is great difference in horses and
the habits they form. Some will eat
from almost any kind of box and waste
little, while with others nothing is suit
able except manager boxed on the stall
side with hole only large enough to ad-
NIT the horses head when eating, Even
then, if there is rack behind the box

tity of milk, and is not such an immense
feeder as the Holstein
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1891-01-16

The greater thriftiness of pigs from a
SOW that has borne one, two or three
previous filters is partly due doubtless
to the greater amount of milk she gives
There is probably as much proportional
difference here as between mature COW
and heifer with her first calf. Besides,
in the young sow the milk is not SO rich,
as part of what should go to make it is
kept for growth of the mother. 1t is
possible to keep sows too long, but this
is more frequently from their learning
bad habits, becoming unruly or eating
their young, than from failure to give
full messes of milk, or to produce good
litters of thrifty young, and sometimes
even farrow more than they have teats,
in which case it is economy to kill the
weaklings in excess. Nor'west Farmer.
