outlet, the foreign markets for our sur
plus. rests largely with the producer
There his product comes in strong COM
petition with that of other nations pro-
duced at times under more favorable
circumstances and much cheaper than
that OF our own. Our success lies in the
quality os our products, therefore let
US never lose an opportunity 70 IMPROVE
more and more the quality Of our out
put until it is recognized and accorded
the palm OF superiority it so justly de-
serves, unequalied by tiat OF any na-
ton on earth. The time is fast ap-
preaching when the quality OF our pro-
auctions will be the standard OF ad-
mission to foreign markets.
at Should be the aim not only of the
producer but also those who are inter
ested in the expectation OF livestock and
meat food products to know that none
but the very best in quality is sent
abroad. All those interested IN live
stock should duly appreciate and CRATE
fully acknowledge the successful efforts
made by the secretary OF agriculture
to promote an increase in the demand
OF our dairy products in foreign mar
kets and the dairymen OF this country
should schox appreciation not alone by
keeping the production at such stand
ard Of excellence as will defy all com
petition at home and abroad but by
never losing an opportunity 10 inaugu-
rate any improvement in the manufac-
ture tending 10 improve the quality OF
the output.
Undoubtedly the beef producing in
dustey is the branch OF agriculture just

is important because large amounts Of
money are represented in <he raw ma
terial; i. is important because Of the
great expense in caring for. furnishing
feed and fattening for the market. This
latter expense is abou. the same per
head on fattening a common or inferior
class OF cattle as il is on the grades or
thorougnbreds. The market value OF
the matured animals is from so cents to
$3.50 per 100 pounds in favor OF grade
or matured cattle, which should con-
vince the producer that in order 20 o5-
tain the best price for his feed, he
should feed It 10 the better grade Of
cattle"
The speaker also dwelt al considerable
length on the raising OF hogs and sheep.
He urged the early marketing OF hogs,
which, he said, would nave a tendency
70 reduce the stock OF lard and make
it more valuable to the producer and un-
doubtedly reduce the losses sustained

"The English sheep raiser" contin-
ued the speaker, through proper breed
ing and care in feeding. produces
grade OF mutton superior TO ours in cdr
ole qualities and therefore cecures
better price for it al the same time
snearing as much and as good quality
of wool as an American, hence his ad-
vantage and ability 10 make us take
back seat 50 70 speak, with our NUT
ton. Why not take advantage OF the
experience furnished by him and 50
grade and improve our fiOcks until they
are not only the peer OF. but superior 10
any in the world and sucn as viii evil
dence their superiority when their car
cases are in foreign markets hung side
by side with those produced BY our
brethren across the water"
Mr.. Thompson concluded a. follows:
THE success which has attended your
efforts is in large measure owing 20

ers and consumers throughout the eoun-

ecutive officers have MADE their infiu-
