a very prominent and popular gen

proper, lead a larger faction against
the present administration than any
other man in the republic. Parties
here from the interior of Mexico who
are in touch with the highest authori-

break is similar to that of Cara, which
took place a year ago, and is gotten
up for the same purpose, namely, to
depreciate Mexican bonds in foreign
markets.

breeding for Beef.

The two great hindrances to the i'm
provement of beef in this country are
the neglect to obtain better results
from the herds by selection, feeding
and breeding, and the general idea
that any kind of scrub stock can he
sold. The scrub bulls are menace to
our stock business, and they should be
killed off from the pastures of the
East and the West and replaced by
fine, well-bred ones of some recognized
worth. The dairy cows of similar
stock, half-fed and lean, must give
way TO those Of superior merit, whose
keep will be well paid for by their
extra products Cattle-raising in every
part of the country can be improved
by the introduction of some of the
well-known breeds of cattle, such as
the Devons and Galloways in Colorado
and Wyoming, where bone growth is
so rapid; the Herefords, Polled Aber-
deen-Angus cattle in regions where the
soil and pasture are poorer than in the
rich bluegrass sections where the
Shorthorns and Jerseys do so well.
TO inspect the herds of the Central,
Western and Southern states one must
be impressed with the great amount
of poor stock that is kept from year to
year, and from which successive flocks
are bred regularly. In portions of
these states there are some high-grade
cattle grown, which, when fattened
on corn, can compete successfully
with any Of the beeves of England or
Scotland. But the rule is, the stock is
poor. The dairy cows are worn out
specimens of their class, even among
the fair pastures of New York state.
This loss comes more directly to the
farmer than to any one else. The
beef-loving public can get what they
want, even If they have to import IL.
The poor grade OF beef, then, must be
sold to the poor at reduced rates, and
the farmer receives only small re-

even though close to the markets they
cannot find good sales along with the
superior Western beef
1t pays TO raise a good thing 1t
pays to start the herd on a good
foundation, and then TO breed closely
for good qualities, and TO feed on
scientific basis. Those who do this
make money in the dairy business and
in cattle-raising But those who
from ignorance or perversity cling to
the old slip-shod methods are daily
complaining that the Eastern cattle
and dairy business is being made un-
profitable by Western growers They
ship meat and dairy products East,
and crowd out those nearer home.
This is true wherever better articles
are obtained from the West, but there
are Eastern dealers to-day who are

Frozen Butter.
Without having made experiments
to prove whether our theory wero
correct, we have been of the opinion
that it hurt the keeping quality of
butter TO freeze it. The Creamery
Journal after stating that we can now
freeze butter at as low cost as we
used to hold it in cold storage, says:
after experiments covering range
of the past five years, it has been
demonstrated that this (freezing) is
the only proper way to hold butter.
Butter made last June and held on till
May, came out in tip top condition.
Not tub oily, and all of very fine
flavor. Repeated ex-
periments have shown us that butte r
frozen will stand up longer after
being taken out of the freezer than
that held in the ordinary cold storage"
The Orange Judd Farmer comments
as follows upon this, and expresses
the views of many: Creamery Jour
nal should be good authority on dairy
matters, and it may be; but we must
differ from one of its statements un-
less il is backed up with a clear show
ing by accurate details of the five
years experiments. No doubt butter
will keep in good condition when
thoroughly frozen. But our expert
ments and information obtained from
large shippers, like John Newman, of
Elgin, etc. =. indicate that butter will
not stand up in its quality, beyond a
| brief time, when thawed out after be-
| ing frozen. On the contrary, as soon
a 10 thaws deterioration begins very
soon, and unless kept very cold it will
be poor stuff in a short time, A tub
of extra Elgin butter got frozen by
delay on freight train. Part taken
out and tbawed was very good at first
1t was kept in a cool cellar pantry, but
kept deteriorating and in ten day:
was unfit to eat. The part kept froz-
en- was still excellent, but any portion
of it thawed out diminished its value
the same as at first. A second similar
experience resulted in the same way.

tenth the bulk any period. What say
