Agricultural News and Notes.


Corn is one of the cash crops this
year.
Considerable waste molasses is pro
duced at beet sugar factories in France
and Germany. The latest plants to mix
it with bran, meal or palm nut meal
dry into cakes and use for feeling cat
tie. 1t has not given good results with
other stock.
New York is to have Wool Elk
change, which will handle Imported
wool almost entirely An uuuense
building is to be erected where wool
may be sorted, graded and stored and
held or sold on certificates.
A remarkable change has taken place
in the egg industry through the intro
duction of cold storage appliances.
Rural New Yorker says that the feed
ing of wheat to live stock will have a
doubly good effect. 1t will decrease the
market supply and perhaps help up the
price, and will show farmers the advan-
tage of feeding some more heterogeneous
food than corn.
Paris green is made by dissoIying
white arsenic and acetate Of copner
separately in boiling water and mixing
while boiling. There was once a
"boom'' for white arsenic alone as an
insecticide, but this has died ont.
The latest novelty is artificial
cream, . which may be used to em.ich
skimmiIk or mixed with any other lin
uid. 1t is made by emulsifying any suit
able oil with solution of gelatin and
diluting with water to the proper con
sistency.

The Shire.

The Shire morse, the descendant of
the Lincolnshire black, is bred for the
most part in Yorkshire, Lincolnshire,
Berkshire and Oxfordshire. The horses
bred in these counties differ from one
another in size and character each
county, perhaps owing to differences of
soil, possessing its own peculiar type,
yet although such IS the case they are
all true specimens of the Shire horse
and exhibit the distinguishing charac-
teristiCS of this breed i'll their size, form
and great growth of hair about their
legs. They usually have large heads,
good muscular shoulders wide chests,
short backs, with we'll developed pelvis
and thighs
These animals are bred to the highest
perfection in the fens of Lincolnshire,
some growing to II hands high before
their third year. From this fact it
would seem that soil had some effect in
producing size. Youatt, who wrote upon
this subject 90 years ago, will not give
the land the credit for such develop
lions are better suited than others for
the various kinds of farming and the
breeding of different animals, and that
it does net depend on the soil or pas
ture." It may be, however, attributed
to the moisture of the soil and the invig-
Grating atmosphere which pervades this
country. Nineteenth Century.

Horse Evolution.

The largest pair of horses shown at
the cart horse parade, remarks the staid
London Spectator, were two bays that
stood IS hands and probably weighed
at least a ton each and We're capable of
drawing weight of over four tons in
addition to their driver Compared with
the average size of the nearest approach
to the wild horse existing, the tarpan
Of the Khirsiz steppes-for the animal
which Prejvalski claimed to have dis
covered in the highlands of Gobel is
too like wild ass to be accepted as the
primitive ancestor of the horse until
more evidence is forthcoming than is
at present available from such remote
and inaccessible regions-these NAM
moth horses show an increase of about
one third in height and three-quarters
in bulk and weight as the result OF hui
man effort directed mainly to the in
crease i'll size in just proportion in a
particular animal. The natural infer
ence from this fact is doubt whether
the limit of size which nature seems to
have set to the growth of particular
species is really as fixed and arbitrary
as might appear from the experience of
ages, even in cases where the conditions
are more favorable to their perfect de-
velopment than are the Asian steppes
to the growth of the horse. The general
weight of what is called "paleontolog-
ical' evidence seems to favor the last
supposition.

Fat Stosk and Horse Exhibitions viii he

Tho Illinois state board of agriculture
has drafted the prize list for the Anleri-
,an horse show. which exhibition will
DO resuscitated at Tattersalls of Chi
fago's big horse mart Nov. 22 to Dec.
!. The fat stock show will be held in
connection with this exhibit, but it is
not probable that this show will be of
TN extent that will encroach seriously
on the space for horses The prize list is
quite comprehensive, including classes
Tor thoroughbreds, standard breds,
Cleveland bays, French coachers. Ger
man coachers hackneys, Morgans, road
Bter stations, gated saddlers, Shetland
ponies and all the draft breeds, together
with rings for four-in- hands, tandems,
,arriage pairs, hunters, jumpers, ETC.
Each breed named is given three rings
A years old or over, 3 years old and
2 years old-in both sexes, and prizes
are uniformly $50 for first $15 for sec
ond and $40 for third. 1t is greatly to
be regretted that the rings for yearlings
and foals have been omitted. The ac-
commodations at Tattersalls are limited
to $50 stalls, and Superintendent Pace
states that he could not possibly figure
out room enough for the youngsters, and
solely ON this account rings for the
yearlings and foals are not provided.
There are no stables in the immediate
vicinity to accommodate an overflow,

We fear this omission will initiate
greatly against the show of draft horses,
and it is to be hoped that after the en-
tries give some idea Of the numbers
room may be found to accommodate the
young things i'll the exhibition of which
our breeders take such great pride In
view of the limited number of stalls at
the disposal of the board, it will doubt
less be we'll for exhibitors to file entries
Immediately, as late Corners may have
to be rejected for lack of room. The
board has been compelled to adopt
rule that not more than two entries in
any ring will be accepted from any one
exhibitor.

A guarantee fund of $40, 900 has been
subscribed in this city, and every effort
will be made to bring out crowd.
Special attractions will be arranged for
the evenings, and over 81, 200 of the
total prize money has been set aside for

tries and support of those who drive and
ride in this city may be enlisted. The
exhibition is undertaken under disad-

support it will doubtless lead in time to
the erection of building in this city
which will be in every way suitable for

A Horses Leg,

''The measurement of horse leg be-
low the knee is no correct indication of
the size of bone in that region any more
than it is of its general quality says a
correspondent of the London Live Stock
Journal. I'm large, coarse draft horses
this is particularly the case, and the
coarser they are the more deceptive is
their measurement. A leg clothed be-
low the knee with thick skin and an
abundance of simultaneous tissue will
girth considerably more than another of
equal and even larger bone. Many Shires
beneath their long, silky feather have re-
marl1ably clean legs, and the fineness of
the feather is generally indicative of
clean limbs underneath. Large knee
joints are highly priced, and rightly,
because large joints are evidence of large
bone beneath them. Each joint has
relative proportion to the bone immedi-
ately below it. In quality it is admitted
that bone differs greatly-that the bone,
for instance, of race horse, although
smaller, is of greater density than that
of a dray horse The cannon bone of the
antelope is almost as solid as ivory,
while the ponderous wild mammalia
have leg bones of considerable porosity.
Thick skin, a large amount of subcu-
taneous tissue on the legs and coarse
hair from the knee downward usually
denote a sluggish Emphatic tempera-
ment and vulgar blood ligaments, and
as to fiat bone it is misnomer, but
fiat legs are desirable, for to approach
this form the back tendons must be well
developed, whereby strength and dura-
bility of muscle are assured at one of
the weak points in the exterior Of the
bone"

A strike on the Milwaukee and St.
Paul is still threatened, as the company
has not cut out Pullman cars.
The strike order has gone into opera
ton on the Chicago and Great Western,
which is tied up az Des Moines. st. Paul
and Duluth.
The bsggagemen at the Dearborn sta.
tion have struck.
Twenty marshals were sworn in today
to protect the Santa Fe in starting
trains.
Representatives of the local Switch
mems union report the members are in
sympathy with the strikers. What they
will do as q union will be determined at
nesting tonight. Four thousand
ewtchmen in Chicago are likely to act
as O unit.
The Panhandle road brought in 20
men today from Cincinnati, Columbus
and Louisville and put them at work in
the Curtis street yards under police pro-
lection.
All the suburban trains arrived this
morning on time. Most OF the switches
previously operated from the tower
house near the union depot have been
changed to the old style, making it pos
eible to employ inexperienced men.
General Manager John M. Egan OF
the General Managers association bu-
regu says there ia no truth in the state
ment that the Milwaukee and st. Paul
will withdraw Pullman cars from its
trains. One hundred men have been
engaged in Baltimore and Philadelphia
to take the places of the strlkers and are
on the way to Chicago. Egan declares
there will be no difficulty in getting all
the men wanted.

THE SANTA FE STRIKE.
NO CHANGE IN THE SITUATION AT
SAN DIEGO.
General Manager Frey Says the Strike
Will Soon Spend Itself - Trains
- Under the Protection
of the Courts

SAN DIEGO, June 29.-There was no
change in the strike situation locally
today, except that the effect of the
Southern Pacific strike reached the city
and closed all freight and passenger
business.
The Santa Fe is in statu quo. Agent
Keeler having visited National City and
interviewed the train crew as to their
wishes in taking out train. They re-
iterated that, they. stood ready to take
out the mail, but beyond that tney
would stick to the orders OF President
Dsbs. After long argument Mr.. Keller
returned to the city.
1t is understood that the engineer and
conductor OF the overhead tied up at Ma
tional City are not in sympathy with the
strikers and are ready to take out any
train, whether with or without Pull
mans. 1t is possible that az effort will
DO made to get new crew OF subordin-
ates and get the train out.
A prominent member of the A. r. u.
said tonight that if the worst came, and
the company did not capitulate, the fra
ternal unions would be called upon to
act in unison with the A. r. u. The
'Longshoremen'e union, Numbering 300
men, is said to stand ready to tie up the
company's coal supply, and the coal
miners in New Mexico, it is claimed by
the strikers, are in sympathy with the
men.
MANAGER FREY's STATEMENT.
ToPEKA, June 29.-General Manager
Frey of the Santa Fe says: "Our trains
came out of Chicago last night with the
Pullman equipment. The most serious
trouble is on the western grand division.
Everything is tied up ct Ration. Last
evening one of our train dispatchers
there, named Smith, was chased by SOC
men to the hills. The mob notified the
chief night train dispatcher that if he
went on duty they would kill him. We
ara handling very little freight. In my
opinion the strike will soon spend it
self"

Two Thousand shopmen Go Out-The
Tie-up Complete.
SACRAMENTO, June 29.-Two thousand
m.n in the Southern Pacific shops here
went on a strike this morning, az the re-
suit OF the discharge of union brakemen
at Oakland last night for refusal to han
die Pullmans. Tbs tie.up here ia now
complete. The west-bound overland.
containing Pullmaus, was stopped this
morning by the strikers throwing open
the drawbridge ACROSS the Sacramento
river. The strikers said they would al
low the mail coaches to SO by, but not
pound of freight or single passenger.
Two hundred cars OF fruit are on the
side tracks between Sacramento and Og-
den. Fruit 10 also ripening rapidly in
the orchards and if the blockade is not
raised within a week many ranchers will
be ruined. The fruit will soon be too
ripe to ship. Steamboats, on the Sacra-
mento river are doing an enormous busi-
ness. and the crush at the landing calls
to mind the good old days before rail-
roads. Portland passengers are going
to San Francisco on steamers.
The strikers have refused to allow
mail cars to move. They say that not q
wheel ehall turn. The engineers are
holding q meeting. A meeting of strik-
ers ia called at Armory hall at 2 p. m.
The United States marshals who came
mn from San Francisco this morning
| were powerless, and are eidetracked up
the road. An engineer named Trembly,
who took up train this morning in OPP
position to the orders of the strikers,
was hanged in effigy today. When he
gets back his life will be in danger.
All is quiet here in railroad circles
this evening. A train arrived at p. m.
| from the Shasta division, but stopped
ON the Yolo side of the river, as the
main track on this side is obstructed by
the tied up overland express.
| ATT O'Clock mixed train came into
the CITY from the San joaquin valley,
but was abandoned by the crew at the
foot of X street.
The strikers are holding On open
meeting tonight at Turner hall.
| The American Railway union sent a
committee to superintendent Wright
and Master Mechanic Il. 8. Small to
| tender them watcLmen to protect rail-
road property. The officials received
the com mittee courteously and informed
them that they had watchmen enough,
but if they should require their services
they would be pleased to call on them
as private citizens.
The Southern Pacific company today
saved the city from q water famine
caused by the strike. The city water
works is supplied with coal by the lone
Coal and Iron company by train loads
from its mine in Amsdor, and the sup
ply was about to give out to today. AS
no trains are running the contractors
cannot send any coal to the city, and
ths engineer of the water works applied
to perintendent Wright for enough
coal to keep the city pumps running
Mr.. Wright notified him to send carts
to the railroad company's coal bins and
get all the coal necessary while the
supply holds ont.

Debs' Order to Strike Not Obey cd by tn e
Local A. II. U.
OMAHA, June 29.-President Debs of
the American Railway union has wired
Secretary Noble OF the local union to
strike at noon. Mr.. Noble conferred
with President Miller of the local union
and others connected with the organiza-
ton on the proposition. and an answer
was returned to the effect that the local
situation is such that. in the wisdom OF
the local union, it is deemed highly i'm
practicable to precipitate q strike here,
and the argument was made that posi-
lively no hope existed for the successful
carrying out of boycott, as the local
union consisted entirely of men not in
the train service.
An Omaha railroad man explains that
the Northwestern boycott arises from
the fact that crew ran a Car with an A.
r. U. grievance committee out to the
shops, and the company let out the crew
when it heard OF it.
The Chicago roads have agents in
Omaha hustling up men to take the
places of the A. r. U. men in Chicago.
They are meeting with poor encourage
SNent, for, as far IS known not single
man has gone. There are a number of
railroad men in Omaha who are out of
work, and they have been asked if they
would go to Chicago and take the places
of the strikers if they were wanted.
The anawer has been an emphatic ''no."
While the men in Omaha are anxious
to goto work they declare they will
starve before they will take the places
of men who are out for principle.
1t is stoutly maintained that there
will be no trouble in Omaha or Council
Bluffs transfer, but all admit the condi-
ton of affairs is extremely critical, and
that it would not require much to pre-
cipitate q strike.
