fed westerns have got to be Of good
finish, thick and fat, and weigh close
to 1,400 lbs. Early arrivals from tho
range districts show plainly enough
that in the matter of flesh and condi-
ton the westerns are far ahead Of past
seasons, they are now maturing rapidly
and by the first of August will be COM
ing forward freely. The dressed beef
buyers are paying strong prices for
them, and after they show little more
hardness and ripeness no doubt buyers
for eastern markets and for the export
business will take hold of them. All Of
this goes against the native steer I'M
less he is good enough to sell over and
above the westerns, and to do that this
year he has to be better than usual.
Buyers show strong preference for the
range cattle over native beeves that
will not grade up high, and we advise
our customers to keep their native
steers off the market until they are in
shape to stand sharp competition. As
we have before stated there is going to

All-around Cattle.

The cry is nowadays, "Give US the
good all-round animal" We think
there is an element of error IN tnls.
Carry out this idea to an extreme, and
you blot out the distinctive character
istics of every breed of animals exist
ing. No one animal can do everything
best. AS in the mechanical so in the
animal world, there must be division
of labor. We owe all the improvement
of the present day in all classes OF do
nestle live stock to special breeding
for definite purpose. Let the breeder
of the race horse try to combine the
strength Of the Clydesdale or Shire
with the speed Of his thoroughbred,
and the result is an increase of strength
but reduction of speed. So let a
breeder try to obtain the size OF the
Leicester with the hardihood of the
blackface; does he get it? No, he gets
an excellent animal, but utterly un-
suitable for enduring the hardship
through which the pure blackfaced
must live. and, on the other hand, il
will not produce so much mutton in a
given time as the pure Leiscester. Our
remarks are especially intended for cat
tie. All food is composed of certain

Changes in Clover During Growth.

Changes in Clover During Growth.
The Minnesota experiment station
has Investigated the progressive
changes of clover during its growth.
Five periods were used: Before the head
was visible, at early bloom, full bloom,
end of Towering and at maturity. The
dry matter increased up to the end OF
Towering, so did the ash. The increase
of protein closed at full bloom, while
fibre increased up to maturity. The
above figures represent percentages.
OF the mineral elements potash in
creased tc the period of bloom and de-
creased thereafter.
The same was true of magnesia, while
lime and the phosphates increased until
the end of Towering and then de-
creased. These Investigations are in
accord with others, showing that after
maturity the crop retrogrades.
The investigator, Prof. Snyder, finds
that crop of 436 pounds abstrats from
the soil &c pounds of potash, 76.4 pounds
of lime, 1 pound of soda (would friends
of soda expect it to replace the potash p
and the phosphates 2S.4 pounds. An
alyses by parts of the crop show that
the potash was in larger amount in
| the stem than in the leaves, while the
lime was greater in the leaves than in
| the stem.

the best explained by reference to the
figure given. Usually only one or two
of these flowers mature fruit, which
is an ovate pod about three inches long

This best known of our milkweeds,

and spread rapidly, throwing up num-

forming patches which check the

The milky juice is popular remedy

well-defined elements or compounds.
Milk and fesh-ineluding in the term
flesh all that goes to build up the body
of an animal-milk and flesh are,
roughly, composed of the same ele-
ments, and il an animal takes certain
portion of its food to make milk, so
much less is available for making flesh.
1t seems to US that We must take our
choice, one or tie other. We cannot
have both in the highest perfection.
The Jersey breeder wanted butter. He
got it, but had ts give up flesh. The
Ayrshire breeder yielded a little, and
said: Il want lot of milk" He got it,
but had to give up little butter fat.
The founders of the Short-horn breed
said, I'VE want flesh" They got it, but
in the case of those having the greatest
tendency to fatten, they had to sacrifice
milk production.
The true solution of the problem is
to breed the animal with special quail
intended. If COW is wanted for
town dairy, deep mixer with fair
tendency to fatten is the best. If the
farmer lives up in the country where
dairying is not profitable. then an ami
NAL with the greatest tendency to fat
ten is the best. Some may say, That is
all right. but if the heavy mixer is not
turning her food into milk. will she not
turn it into flesh. We think not, to
such perfection as one bred distinctly
for producing beef. Nature comes to
our rescue and teaches us here. II the
Jersey is not giving milk, does it pro-
duce as much flesh as the well-bred
Short-horn on the same pasture? En-
phatically, no. Go through any herd Of
Ayrshires in milk, and if you see one
that is carrying considerable more
flesh than its neighbors, that COW is not
doing her work at the pail. Depend
upon it, though the old breeders might
be charged with being unscientific, they
were shrewd men; and whilst we glad
ly welcome any help from any source,
We shall be wise to sit at their feet,
and, like them, breed our animals with
qualifications for distinct purposes, and
not aim at the impossible in trying to
make them bes: for everything.-Farm-
ing World Edinburgh.

Most Popular Strawberry.


The Cornell experiment station has
been canvassing the northern and west
ern fruit districts of New York state
with the object of finding out the most
popular varieties of strawberry in that
section.
The Wilson was pronounced to be
the best shipper by twenty-nine grow
ers, while ten recommended the Parker
Earle and eight the Warfield. The most
productive varieties were named as fol-
lows: The Crescent received "a votes;
Wilson, Is; Warfield, IA; Haverland, IL;
Parker Earle, IL; Bubach, Z; Sharpless,
4; Burt. 2, and others 1.
The Michel was found the earliest Of
the early varieties by SO persons. the
Crescent by IS, the Wilson by II and
the Bubach by 6. The Parker Earle
was found the earliest Of the late varie-
ties by % persons and the Candy by 16.
Some 20 growers pronounced in IA
vor of the Wilson as the best all around
strawberry, is were in favor Of the
Crescent, 10 in favor of the Bubach, 10
for the Haverland, 10 for the Warfield,
Z for the Parker Earle, for the At
lantic and for the Sharpless. Taking
this testimony altogether, the Wilson
is the most popular berry in the above
section.
