the best profits In the Glasgow markets.
It has been shown to the department
that the highest prices and the highest
praises have been bestowed upon beef
from the United States In Glasgow
markets during the year 1896, but 1t
must be admitted that those meats
were sold as ''prime Scotch" or cen.

1895 over 1893, the value fell from
$4l, ,25O, 900 to $38, 100000. Shipments

lean packers are not participating In
the profits Of the growth Of consump.
tion of swine flesh and hog products in
Great Britain as much ss they ought
to, because they do not cure meats es-
pecislly suited to the English demand.
But their Danish and Canadian com
petitors are increasing their ship
ments to the United Kingdom every
year. This is because the packers of
Denmark and Canada are carefully
catering to the taste of the English
consumer, Eighty per cent. of the
entire Danish products finds market In
England. The cost of swine at the
packing houses in Denmark is given at
8 cents a pound, live weight, with
dockage of 20 per cent. on refuse, TO-

London is only $3.50 per ton, and the
price realized is about $1l per 100

In Washington and Oregon the Mon

A Japanese farmer weeds bis wheat

weeds his onion bed, and cultlvstes
his potatoes and barley with as much

hay is obtained by cutting the sorghum
shortly after 1t begins to bloom. When
used for aOiling, cutting may be prodt-
ably begun as soon as the "heads" sre
formed. The common practice is to
cut for ensiIage when the seed is In the

The American pheasant ls about the
size of an ordinary bantam rooster and
is fully as plucky and gamy. The
Mongolisn pheasant is larger, but

imported meat to meet that demand.
The United States should be able to
supply that demand at all times, and
the Department of Agriculture has
been giving considerable attention to
that subject. OF course nothing but
the best of cattle should be shipped to
the foreign markets, and one bad ship
ment would be apt to create preju-
dice against all cattle sent from this
country. 1t is evident that stock rails.
ers are waking up to the Importance
of this matter, for in recent reporC Of
the Department of Agriculture 1t says
that the cattle from the United States
have been for some time sent to the
ports of Great Britain in such perfect
condition that there is neither need nor
desire to further fatten them before
killing. 1t is not the same with Cana
dian cattle. Evidence from agents of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture from Birkenhesd, from Glss-
Cow and from Bristol is concurrent to
the effect that the quality Of animals
from the United States is far superior
to that of those received from Canada,
AT all the points named Canadian cat
tie have been found short In weight
and poor In quality. The same fault
is found with animals from South
America. Corn-fed animals from the
United States have, however, proved
very superior and achieved some nots-
BILE triumphs during the year. About
one.third of the South American cattle
shipped to London and Liverpool in
1896 from the River Plata were sold at
from to 6 cents per pound. These
were mostly wild pampas cattle, which
suffer very much on the voyage over
the ocean, and do not begin to feed
until half the distance to Liverpool is
covered Nevertheless, there are quite
a number of River Plata cattle bred
specially for British markets and pas
tuTed, and afterward stall fed after the
American method, and these are said
to compare fsvorably with the cattle
from the United States as to weight
and quality. South America has
shipped animals of such inferior quail
ity at times as to have made great loss,
and it is clearly proven that 1t pays to
ship only the very best grades and
quality of beef cattle to the United
Kingdom. The present prospect for
good prices for American beef In the
English market is now encouraging.
Supplies are abundant and low freights
prevalent. Under these circumstances
only moderate profits may be hoped |
for In the future, even if the English |
market retains healthy tone and |
steady demand, The exclusion of the
United States and all other foreign |
cattle from the Continent forces prsc-
ticslly all of the surplus Of the United |
States into Great Britain, and tends to
keep prices down for the English con-
sumner.
During the last twelve months Amer
ican cattle have uniformly arrived on
the other side in god health and con-
dition. Only forty or fifty head were
condemned at Glasgow as suffering
from Texas fever. 1t would, perhaps,
be Of advantage to American shippers |

happened along soon afterwards and
when he came within arms reach OF

reputation the Coroner's jury which
investigated the case decided that the

there. He is about 60 years old. In
