COLUMBIAN CHEESE TEST.

position Universe1le McCombie, OF
lTillyfour, pulled down honors for the
''bonny black doddies," which adver-
tised the Angus breed the whole world
round. At that date there was
barring Grants effort at establishing
colony of black polls in Kansas-no
such thing as an Angus interest in the
United Safes; but early in the
Eighties" they began coming out into
the west and the movement of breed
ing cattle was backed up by ripe
bullocks for exhibition at the Chicago
and Kansas City fat-stoclz shows.
Farmers and feeders who knew some
thing in general way of the renowned
prime Scots" of the British meat
trade were not slow to give the horn
less blacks a trial. Shippers finally
began getting the steers upon our
markets and for several seasons past
the Angus beeves have made the
record for fat cattle at the Chicago
yards. And SO it came to pass that
breed which was practically unknown
to our people but few years since
had one of the most select Though not
one of the largest) exhibits in the
yard at the Columbian exposition; had
what is admittedly the grandest COW
in the show and herd which may
possibly gain for the Aberdeen-Angus
interest even higher honors at Chicago
in 1898 than Tillyfour. bore away from
France in rs. In other words the
Angus were most decidedly sin it, at
jackson park.
The hardy hornless black skins from
the Scottish borders were out in full
parade. Never has such a grand lot of
Galloways been gathered together in
America as faced the judge at the
worlds fair in jackson park on August
26. Well might the admirers of the
breed be pleased to see such an exhibit
and many stockman who saw the pa
rade was compelled to admit that they
were grand blocky, beefy cattle, with
hair and hides useful to the animals
when alive and most comfortable and
durable as robes long after the juicy
joints of beef have been enjoyed and
forgotten. Galloway breeders may
justly feel proud of the display they
made and of the quality of the young
animals they are breeding.
The pretty Dutch belted cows were
especially popular with townspeople
who know nice thing when they see

ming tho rscordsas they are reported
from week to week notice that ma
iority of the ten COWS leading in milk
and butter production are parti-col-
ored. OF the four cows that have
reigned successfully as Jersey queens
in fhe United States-namely, Land
seer's Fancy, Eurotisama, Bisson's
Belle, and Signals Lily Flagg, with
their respective yearly butter records
of $50 lbs. l455s o.; 945 lbs. Coz; 1,02s
lbs. 155S o., and / ,049 lbs. u oz.-three
OF them were broken in color, the only
solid color being Eurotisama. So that
if there was any lurking prejudice
against that class of COWS as profta-
bic dairy workers study of private
and official tests heretofore made and
published, together with the work at
the fair, should dispe1 it. Intelligent
breeders did not need this proof, but
most beginners in the business are
prone to favor solid colors under the
Impression that they cover better and

1.-THE Shnrt-Horns were favorites with
thousands of visitors. HOflate years,
says writer on livestock topics, 1--WE
have all heard certain scroakers' be-
waiting the decadence of the Short
Horn. Old showmen in reminiscent
moods loibering about the western
sl1ow-yards have been the chief offend
ers In this respect. Talk about great
lots of CATTLE they would say, you
sa1ould have seen the .Short-Horn
shows in the days when Duncan, the
elder Renick, Mcmillan, Spears, the
Shropshires, Piclrell, Kissinger, the
Browns, sodowsky, Col 'Bill' King and
that crowd were in the ring! Those
were shows as pers showsi You don't
SEQ any such nowadays This is of
course the old, old story of no pies so
good as the pies mother used to make:'
the almost melancholy spectacle of
thu passing generation mourning for
the heydey of it's youth and prime; to
whom the glories of other days viewed
down the long vista of years shine
more resplendent the farther they
are removed 1t SO happened,
however, that the chief justice
OF the tribunal before which the
Short-Horn breed was tried at the
Columbian exposition-Hon. j. ii.
Picluen-was one of the very exhibit
tors whose exploits in the show-yards
OF twenty years ago are often quoted
by those who can see nothing good in
contemporary cattle shows. This be-
ing the case ii is interesting to note
that the exhibitor of old Baron Booth,
OF Lancaster, Sweepstakes, Breast
plate, etc., asserts without hesitation
that NO such exhibition of the old-time
favorites has ever before been made
on this continent. It certainly con-
tanned majority Of all the best show

Carriages at the worid,s Fair.

The English, French and American
carriages in the. Transportation build
ing are as distinctly Characteristic OF
the three nations as any exhibit can
be. The English vehicles are heavy
and in some instances almost cu1nber-
some; the French, generally light and
attractive, but not always convenient
or comfortable; while the American
have the appearance of being light
running, easy and convenient, as well
as bright and attractive. This applies
merely to their general appearance,
without any reference to the best
make.

the great exposition. Hundreds of
thousands visited the barns containing

paid more attention to the cattle, the

An Emperor at the Plow.

An emperor NJ Inc 1iOWs
In order to emphasize the Importance OF
the cultivation OF the soil and to encourage
his subjects to follow agricultural pursuits,
the emperor of China sometimes performs
PERTAIN rites at the ''emperor's field" and
goes through the form of plowing and other
work of the husbandman. One day recent
ly the emperor set out at daybreak from
his palace with a numerous and magniti-
cent train of courtiers mt othets. Before
breakfast the emperor arrived ut the shrines
Of the deity presiding over agriculture, and
his majesty stopped to offer up his thanks
giving and sacrifices. After changing his
dress, the morning repast was served, at the
end of which the emperor proceeded to the
field, at the four corners of which were
erected four pavilions, where the seeds of
wheat and other cereals were placed.
In the center were numbers OF magnif-
Gently attired courtiers, each holding aloft
q many colored flag, while on the side OF
the passage were scores Of aged and white
haired farmers, each having In his hand
some agricultural implement. Placing his
left hand on the pillow and holding the whip
in his right hand, the emperor began the
ceremony OF the occasion. BY prearrange-
ment the officers did their allotted share,
some welding the Observation-Disclosures,
while others scattered seeds out of the
baskets ms If sowing, while the emperor
was busted with the plow. which was
hitched to a richly ca~parsone bullock
draped in yellow and led by two of the EN-

ishing his round at the pillow the three
princes were ordered to go through the per-
formance, and after them nine high court
iers had their turn.-Pall Mall Budget.

placed at the back, burst, allowing watel
to escape into the fire. The steam gener

the flames out into the boiler room. Tbs

the roof were set Oh fire, but the ever watch.
full automatic sprinklers opened and held
the flames in check until two hydrant
streams could be turned on. A somewhat
similar accident took place in a mill where
shavings were blown under the boiler for
fuel. The shaving blower was stopped for
q moment, causing a back draft in the
boiler furnace, which sent flames through
the furnace doors, setting fire to the shav-
