for the market, and we must come
up to it; and yet it does not pay to
attain this at a real loss.
English farmers find -raisingf
more profitable than the growing o.
wheat, and let the cheap labor O.
Russia, India, and South America
produce their wheat. In all the
higher civilized countries improved
stock has increased as grain-growing
becomes less profitable. American
farmers have bright future in the
production of high class cattle.
Look now, more than ever, topure
bred sires. The destiny of Ameri-
can stock breeding depends upon the
class of stock we breed for the mar
kets, home and foreign. To improve
will bring prosperity, while to de-
cline is to lose the highest hopes OF
American agriculture. Raise only
such grain as can be profitably fed to
stock, and raise only such stock as
can be matured on the farm, and be
sure it is of a grade which will bring
a profit on the raising.

Cattle.

In beef-making the cheapest is
always on good pastures. Gain in
live weight can be made at one
third less than is required to make
it on grain and dry feed, and in
many cases the difference is greater.
Cattle do not always fatten most
rapidly upon grass, but always more
economically; and yet many of our
heaviest gains are made, upon good
pastures.
Just as much of our beef should be
made upon grass, and properly grain
finished, as our climate and season
will permit. AT the Iowa station,
where the gain has ranged at about
two pounds a day, it was at a cost
varying from one and half to eight
cents pound, the former being
made on grass, and the latter during
the heaviest grain feeding at the
close.
The Normandie cattle are the
great dairy breed of France, and are
becoming valuable acquisition to
our milking herds. We are glad
to see an increasing importation of
them. They are a large dairy and
beef breed, being large mixers of
exceptionally rich milk.
Mating young bulls is bad for the
bulls and bad for the progeny. Jer-
seys breed very early. Perhaps its
small size and lack of constitutional
vigor are the results of this practice
Nowadays when vigor or reconstruction
is as much thought of as butter and

Feed literally when butter prices
are low. Make good butter, and in
measure be independent of prices.
Comfortable quarters will do what
feed can not. A small number of
good cows should suggest the use of
a separator as thing of profit.
A penny earned in the production
of pound of butter is worth two
earned by enhanced prices. There
are plenty of ways of doing thIs-re-
ducing the cost. The American
farmer must think as we'll as work,
and there is no longer any hope for
him in competing in the production
of crude, rough products.
The farmer should make Just as
great profit on butter to-day at 20
cents pound as he could a few
years ago at 30. The lower prices
immensely increased consumption,
and it also aids in driving out
fraudulent substitutes, giving the
farmer an honest control of the mar
ket.

Horticulture,

1t is a matter of surprise that so
few farms are made to produce the
nice line of fruits any and every
family need to make a show of COM
pleteness in its every day bill of fare.
The small fruits are so heathful and
appetizing. That'which most stands
in their way is the interest in the
staple crops.
Spectators have to take the
chances of the markets for months,
as we'll as the deterioration of the
fruit in holding, and they must buy
as low as possible. Growers have no
idea of the frightful loss in quantity
of fruit between the time of packing
and consumption.
The grower should make the
disposal of his fruits extend over a
longer time, and a change of method
in selecting, packing aud style of
packing, and the keeping of his
fruit at a lower temperature, will
make him more Independent of mar
ket conditions.
The chief reason of quick decay of
fall fruit is simply the matter of the
warm weather to which it is expos
ed, as now handled. Fall fruits will

TO INVESTIGATE THE CHARGES.
The Sanitary Board TO Look Into
Quarantine Matters.

Quarantine Matters.
A meeting Of the sanitary board has
been called at noon to-day for the pur-
pose of investigating the charges made
by several shipping masters Of iH-treat-
ment and generally bad management at
quarantine. AS soon as Health officer
Drummer saw the article in yesterdays
Morning News, containing the statements
of half a dozen ship captains, making va
rious complaints against the Savannah
quarantine system and the conduct Of az
fairs there, he at once took steps to have
the complaints investigated. After. con-
ferring with Mayor Myers a meeting Of
the sanitary board was called.
When seen by a Morning News reporter
yesterday DR.. Drummer said that 1t was
his purpose and intention tnat the mat
tiers complained If by the ship captains
as published in the Morning News should
be thoroughly investigated. He said that
he is satisfied that the complaints OF the
captains will be found to be without toun-
dalton, with the exception OF one or Two
minor matters which cannot be remedled
at present.
DR.. Drummer said that it is true that the
ballast has to be carried a long distance
in unloading on account of the fact that
the war department has required that no
more ballast be deposited within the mar
Dor line It is not true. he said, that there
is anything unusual in the ships crews
being required to unload the ballast, as
this has always been the rule at quaran-
tine
DR.. Drummer said that he is satisfied that
the charges that DR.. Linlev, the quaran-
tine officer, had treated the captains IN a
rude and discourteous manner are untrue.
Dr. Linley, he said, is not that sort OF a
man.
There has been so much grumbling on
the part of the shipping masters about
the quarantine that an investigation viii
