Cattle Notes.

The Kansas City stock yards
will be materially enlarged and
improved before long.
Twenty government microsco-
pists will soon be at work in Swifts
packing house in Kansas City.
France has issued an order for
bidding the importation Of cattle
and hogs from Holland, owing to
the prevalence Of foot-and-mouth
disease in that country.
A recent press dispatch says
that it is rumored IN Clinton, Ia,
that the Swift Packing Co. has
bought thirty-three acres of land
there, on which a packing house
will be built.
The American Packing Company
is the title Of a corporation capital
lied at $4,000, 600 which will oper-
ate at the Chicago Stock Yards.
Eastern capital is involved, and
it is said that the new concern
will have afiliation with the ex-
listing packing plants.
There already appears to be
considerable rivalry, if not some
jealousy existing between the two
new stock yards in California
that is between the stock yards in
South San Francisco, almost adj
Joining San Francisco on the south
which opened amid great ceremo-
MES early this month, and the
Union Stock Yards, about to be
opened at Rodeo, 26 miles north
of San Francisco. The former is
on a branch of the S. p. road, also
on the sea coast; the latter being
on the main line of the S. p. COM
pany. Already the market of the
wholesale butchers of San Fran
%lcisco is affected by offerings of the
South San Francisco slaughtering
establishment, and there is no
way of telling where it may end.
Whatever the feeling is between
these two concerns, it is hoped
: that both will be highly success
full and will be the means of plac-
ing the cattle business of Arizona
on a frmer basis by having more
accessible markets.
Oats are said by a scientist tc
| have an exciting power on a horse
= The effect on the nerves and mus.
t cles were tested after eating oats
Q and compared with their excitabil
Y ity before eating. Old horsemel
s know that oats will make a hors,
4 more lively and active than an!
S other grain. They contain nerv,
and muscle food, or the element
to supply the wear and waste o
these parts, and no doubt the.
It stimulate them also. They con
tain, according to this authority
n a nitrogenized substance peculia
to themselves. All oats contair
this peculiar property, but tn
It black oats have the most. Whe.
oats are ground the exciting effec
is reduced in strength and dura
Sc ton, but its effects are more active
k This peculiar substance is Gale
" avenine. The soil where oats ar
is grown makes the difference in tn
a. ayenine produced. Further inyel
10 tigation must be made TO dete-
a. mine the kind Of soil best adapte
il to produce the nerve power of til
lie oats.
