Short-Horn Cattle.

Considering the past history and the
attention and the lack OF attention be-
slowed upon the race, the short-horn
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 COWS 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 whenth e milk
ing period is over with, and calves that
VIII be heavy when ready for the butch
er's scales"
Twenty-Five years ago one of the best
dairy lecturers made the above remarks.
ana they seem to the writer to be a.
sound to-day as then. In the series of
tests at Chicago during the Worlds
talr 1t 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
I'VE weight were considered. This is
the key to the whole question, and one
that opens up a wide field for discuss
sion.
Is live weight in the cows of any par
tlcular value to the dairymanp A
great may in buying cows for the
dairy do not consider this mt all. 1t 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 be preferable. The
short-horns arc not heavy eaters. For
every pound of grain they consume they
give a full, square return in cream and
beef.
Now on every dairy the number and
weight OF the calves produced are very
important. Only the choicest of these
are Kept for milking purposes. The
others are sold rs soon as large enough.
Inc Jersey calves are small, light, and
hardly to he compared with the heavy,
rapid-growing short-horns. The latter
are the finest calves in the market. and
the mothers the finest beef animals
raised. When it comes to disposing of
the Worn-out mixers it is very import
~. mnelhei inc m weigh 800 to
y pounds. or tip the scales at 1000
to 5000 pounds.
The general farmer can not do better
than go into raising feed cattle and
DAIRY COWS combined. The short-horns
properly MIXED yield an abundance Of
milk, and they will increase so rapidly
in weight without extra feeding than
they will pay a handsome profit. When
the dairy business is dull, and not paw
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 must pro-
duce good wool and good mutton, so
must the ideal cow be a good mixer ard
q tine beef animal.

PRICE OF SILVER IS VERY LOW
A'nr silver Went to the Lowest Point

patches from abroad received in Wall
street are to the effect that holders

bullion brokers assume that this
means that the silver pool, which was
formed abroad more than u year ago,
was liquidating it's holdings. Other
brokers were of the opinion that the

dated some time ago and that lessend
the demand for silver in the east, and
through the adoption of the gold
standard by Japan, among other rea-

Outsiders generally called attention to

came simultaneously with the an
nouncement of the great gold discov-

Logan cut the knot. as brave men do.
He went into the war before he had a legal
po!ntment, but that of his oft ~undaunted
heart. On that iil-starred day, grave
statesmen were pondering, at the capitol,
as they never %pondered before. Doubtless
the record of congress shows that Logan
was absent without leave. But out beyond
the Potomac, he was fighting, musket in
hand, in the ranks OF the fated army of
the union He had desertedthe house to be
a volunteer Of the war? They tell of him
yet, as he pressed forward through the
smoke. in the silk hat he had forgotten to
much, as when 1t lowered, that day, over
his swarthy face, and those eyes, which
were, indeed. the windows of his soul.
After Bull Run, he went to his home in
alike, with the defiant note which told
them-what they already knew-that cone
what might, he was the union and the
war.
That day he conquered Egypt. Every

chroniclers of the future will write of him
as Froissart, did of the knights and heroes
of medeviael times. It is and will always
be a glorious story. Something, perhaps.
I ought to say of his nature as a man: the
nature that ruled him, as temperament al
ways does, in field. in camp. and in SEN
ate. He was not easily controlled. There
was iron in his blood, and there was fire,
too, which, when he was reused, blaZed
into a consuming wrath. But this is his
glory; the self-willed, dominant temper,
always yielded submissively to the strong
est spirit of patriotism.
Take one of two examples, of the many,
which illustrate this sublime characteris-
tic. When Logan had fought the battle of
Atlanta, and saved the day that was lost;
when he had shown the consumate quail
tiles of a greater leader, he thought, and
he had a right to think, he might ke.p
what he had won-the command of an
army that loved him. For less thar that
