Horse Meat for Food.


A late dispatch from Portland, Ore,
says that q Portland horse packing
company, whose plant is located at
LinntOn, employing eighteen men, is
now doing a thriving business. The
company some months ago received
an order for 5000 barrels OF cured
horse meat from dealers In Paris,
France, and the contract is now being
filed.
The plant, which has been idle since
last fall, was started up again about
four weeks ago, aud since that time
800 horses have been slaughtered.
Fifty were killed Saturday. Each
barrel is labeled "HOrse Meat" and is
thoroughly inspected by an inspector
sent here from Paris. The Paris pur.
chasers, before making this contract,
had the plant thoroughly examined
and satisfied themselves that the prod
ucts would be up to the required stand
ard.
Psrlsians were the first people to
adopt horse meat as an article OF food,
and the demand for 1t In the French
capital is constantly increasing.
The horses for the Linnton plant are
procured from eastern Oregon and are
what are known ss csyuaeS, worth In
the market about $3.50 head on the
average. There is an abundant sup
ply to draw from and the sooner they
are cleaned out the better.
The horse packing company expects
to build up large business with Paris
dealers and hopes to ind market In
Japan and China. Every part Of the
horse is utilized In some way. The
choice meat is cured and all other
parts, including hair, hide, bones and
even blood, are used for commercial
purposes.

Feeding Alfalfa.

A recent bulletin OF the Utah Sta.
ton deals with the feeding value Of
alfalfa for steers. Experiments In
this line have been In progress for
three years, including comparisons OF
early, medium and late cut alfalfa,
and Of the first, second and third crops.
A section OF field Of alfalfa was cut
just before blooming and this was des-
ignsted as early cut; another section,
cue about q week after blooming COM
menced, wss designated as medium
cut; and third section, cut about one
week after full bloom, was designated
as late cut.
In some periods the alfalfa was fed
without grain and In others bran and
wheat were added. The results show
that steers fed alfalfa, either with or
without grain, made the most rapid
gain on the early cut, and the least
gain on the late cut. This was true
for the early cutting Of both the first
and second crops. Pound for pound,
the early cutting gave the best results;
that is, less food was required per
pound Of gain when early cut alfalfa
was fed thSn ON either medium or late
cut. The early cutting also yielded the
most hay, medium cutting came SeC

of being dry.fed. With cattle that are
60 be kept late In the summer it is en-.
tirely different, for the grass in July
and August ls not the same as that of
May and June, and grain fed cattle on
pasture In the latter part Of summer
sell equally as we'll as those fed in the
dry yard. In this connection allow me
to offer suggestion to shipping cattle
from the grass fields early in the sum-
mer when they have been fattened on
grain. AS is we'll known, grass cattle
sCOur badly In shipping and present
bad appearance to the eye Of the buyer,
which tells against them 10 the stock
yards. If these cattle are fed hay for
q week or more before shipping, and
entirely off grssS, the grain being fed
as usual, they will ship much better
when taken from the yard than from
the pasture field, securing being in q
great measure prevented, and they will
prove more attractive to the buyer.
By preparing cattle in this manner
there will be shrinksge in home
weights, but the weights at destiDa-
tlOn after shipping will be found larger
than when shipped full of grass. It
requires long years Of experience sup
plemented with close observation and
careful study Of all details to handle
cattle 20 the best advantage, and these
suggestiOns are the result OF lifetime
given to the work with a fixed determi-
nation to master the subject by testing

Wheat Crop OF the World.

The Department of Agriculture has
issued It's bulletin estimating the
amount of wheat in the world and this
years prospective crop, and also show.
Ing where our exports of wheat go and
what the prospects are for an increased
market for American wheat In the
Orient. The general tenor of the re-
port is extremely encouraging to the
American farmer, not only for this
years prospects, but looking to future
years. The report suggests that the
rapid change which is taking place In
the civilization Of Japan and China
and the raising Of their standard of
living In those countries is opening
an increasing market for wheat and
that the American farmer should
claim bis share at least. The most
significant indication In this line is the
remarkable manner in which our ex-
portations of wheat to eastern Asia
have increased during the decade just
closing. Most of this is shipped In the
form of -four. The total shipments of
wheat -four to Japan and China during
the ten years ended June 30, 1897, sc-
cording to the Treasury Department
figures, amounted to 6 million barrels,
and by far the larger part Of that was
shipped during the latter half of the
decade. In 1896 the shipment reached
nearly l million barrels. The indiCs-
tions are that the shipments for 1897
will be somewhat In excess OF mil
lion barrels, which would be equiva.
lent to more than Az million bushels Of
wheat. OF these shipments the bulk
has gone to Japan, the people of that
country having progressed much fur
ther In the scale Of civilization than
those of China, so that the possibilities
are almost unlimited In China where
the change in the mode Of living Incl
dent to an increasing civilization,
while not nearly so rapid as In Japan.
is yet peEceptlble In It's growth and ia
all In the future. 1t is therefore clear
that these Oriental countries are well
