Short-Horn Cattle.

Considering the past history and the
attention and the lack of attention be.
slowed upon the race, the short-horn
cattle stand almost at the head of the
list as the most profitable cows that
American farmers can own. Exceptions
are not even made for the JERSEYS. The
latter may hold the record for butter
producing, but after that is said the
merits OF these COW have been exhaust
ed.
Il do not think the ideal COW for the
farm, or even for the dairy, is one that
is small of frame, aud good only for
producing milk and cream. We need
animals that will sell well when the milk
ing period is over with, and calves that
will be heavy when ready for the butch
er's scales"
twenty-five years ago one of the best
dairy lecturers made the above remarks,
and they seem TO the writer to be a
sound to-day as then. In the series of
tests at Chicago during the Worlds
Fair it was shown that the shorthorns
made the most profit from Il given
amount of food than any other breed,
when both the butter and increase in
live weight were considered. This is
the key to the whole question, and one
that opens up a wide field for discus
sion.
Is live weight in the COWS of any par
ticular value to the dairymauP A
great many in buying cows for the
dairy do not consider this at all. It is
simply the quantity and quality of the
milk and cream that they consider. In
one sense they are all right. 1t would
be unwise for them TO purchase beef
cattle that gave very little cream and
milk, but, other things being equal, the
beef cattle would bc preferable. The
short-horns are not heavy eaters. For
every pound of grain they consume they
give n full, square return in cream and
beef.
Now on every dairy the number and
weight OF the calves produced arc very
important. Only the choicest of these
are kept for milking purposes. The
others are sold as sOon as large enough.
The Jersey calves are small, light, and
hardly to be compared with the heavy,
rapid-growing short-horns. Tho latter
are the finest calves in the market, and
the mothers the finest beef animals
raised. When it comes to disposing of
the WORKOUT mixers il is very import
ant whether the animals weigh 800 to
l,2OO pounds, or tip the scales at Z, 900
to 5000 pounds.
The general farmer can not do better
than go into raising feed cattle aud
dairy COWS combined. The short-horns
properly MIXED yield an abundance of
milk, and they will increase so rapidly
in weight without extra feeding that
they will pay a handsome profit. When
the dairy business is dull, and not pay
ing, the short-horns can be fattened for
market in a short time. BY this means
the farmer has two bows to his string,
and this is not a bad practice at all, de-
spite the cry of some that we should not
have so many irons in the fire. AS the
sheep for American farmers mus, pro-
duce good wool and good mutton, so
must the ideal cow be a good mixer ard
q tine beef animal.

Rock of Ages"


ulobe Democrat: The recent nrono.
sal TO celebrate the association af An.
gustus Montague Toplady with Trin-
lty college. Dublin. has placed the
author of Rock of Ages" once more
Tnn.ne borders of the living land, says
uonuo" sunday Magazine" In truth,
onere Is some need in having the name
% loPlady recalled to us, for. although
vI'erSpodl knows his famous hymn,
.ne man himself is all but forgotten.
iet lopIady was a notable character
IN the theological circles of his time.
Iopiady was the son of a major in the
army, and wa born i'm l74O. at Farm
nam IN Surrey. His father was killed
at the siege OF Carthagena, before the
boy was a year old, and the future
preacher was thus left solely 10 the
care of his widowed mother-a sister.
Dy the way, of Rev. Mr.. Bate. the rec
Tor of st. Paul's Deptford. Like
Charles Wesley, he was IA pupil at
westminster school, from which he
passed in due time to Trinity college,
dublin, his mother having removed to
ireland. According 10 TopladN's own
account. his conversion was brought
ABOUT when he vas only 10. by hearing
Il Workingman preacher named Nor
ms IN n barn AT a place called Cody
main. He died of consumption 177S.
Toplady, besides being a laborious
student. had early employed himself
in the diversion of vcrsemaking. In
deed. he printed a little volume in
Dublin in 1859, when he was only 10.
Later ON, while ut Broad llcmbury, he
issued Il collection of no fewer than
4l9 Psalms and Hymns for Public
and Private Worship Il considerable
number of which were from his own
pen. There are something like 1873
hymns attributed to Toplady, but only
n very few of these have attained to
anything like popularity. Indeed, if
we except Rock of Ages Your
Harps. Ne Trembling Saints and per-
haps Object of My First Desire" we
shall be safe in saying that Toplady's
hymns have quite passed into oblivion,
or at least are remembered only by
the curious in such matters.
C~uriOusly enough, this %favoritc
hymn was written by Toplady for n
controversial purpose, and ii wa the
Wesley's against whose doctrine the
author desired TO protest.

In establishing our prices in 1893, we
were fully cognizant Of the trade condj,
tons as then existing, and we determined
to meet the popular demand for a high
grade wheel at an honest and reasonable
price.
The secret OF the success of the West.

made next year, and / believe that wher
