cruit a regiment for Cuba. The young

conferred with the detectives at police
headquarters and he was anxious that tho
men who were scheduled to lead the regi-

tool in the hands of the men, announced
that HE would return to his home in Con-

was what his cadet suit had cost him. and
this, he said, he was asked to purchase in

isied himself that Langdon and Newmyer

THE BREED IN BEEF CATTLE.

The Missouri experiment station recently issued bulletins 24, D and IS. all devoted to :; comparative est Of the different brerEs O. beef cattle, the purposes being tU determine the in- fuence of breed as distinguished from that Of feed, the amount of feed re- Qulred to grow a pound of beef in each breed, the comparative age Of maturity in each, the period of life and the season of the year at which each breed grows best, the cost of growth of each breed during each month of life, the exact cost and net product Of each animal when matured, and the comparative value of the same, to- gether with the chemical and biologi- cal investigations resulting from this test. The two bulletins first named are technical in character, and are serviceable only to scientific men and those interested in the scientific de- tails of the work. Bulletin 2S is brief CT and more popular, emitting much of detail dealing with the conclusions rather than the steps by which they are reached, and intended for general distribution among farmers. The idea of the test was originated by Prof
 Sanborn as long ago as 1886, and steps were taken to secure ten animals of each of the leading beef breeds to be fed and cared for alike, the record of consumption kept until matured and then exhibited at the American Fat Stock show, and at it's close slaugh- tered and block tests made. Many things, however, occurred to inter fere with the plan, and in the end only five Shorthorns, three Herefords, four Angus, four grades and four scrubs were assembled, the earliest weigh ing of them being February 25, 1889. They were fed until the spring of 1891
 with considerable interruption due to changes at the station and various other causes, which at one time seemed likely to cause the experiment to fail entirely. We have only room at this time for the conclusions reached. The experiment tends to show that in point of economy in beef production, the breeds stand as follows: Angus, grade
 scrub, ShOrthorn and Hereford. In point of rapidity of growth, Angus, grade, Hereford, Shorthorn, scrub. In point of early maturity and the power of attaining heavy weights with a cer- tainty of commanding profitable mar ket prices, the breeds are arranged thus: Angus, Shorthorn, grade. Here ford, scrub. The experiment indicates that stall feeding and two and a half and three years age are best adapted for growing cattle for the market and under these conditions the breeds rank, Shorthorn, Angus, grade, Here ford, scrub.

FARMERS ARE HAPPY.
Successful Working of Co-Operative Society in the Town of Rockwell.

Mason City, la, March 9.-The Farmers Co-operatice society of Rock we'll, the largest in the west, held its tenth annual meetinS today. Snyder's hall was crowded full of prosperous and energetic farmers, enthusiastic over their organization.
 This year has been the banner year of their history Over 500,000 bushels of grain have been handled, besides other enormous interests looked after. The total volume of business trans acted is s265, 5,O15.24, and this is done at the small expense of $2,46O. They have paid for grain at an average of from to cents more than individual buyers, which accounts for the enor- nous business. The net profit for the year is s2,745.
 From almost nothing, the associa- tion now has assets amounting to s17,696. The town of Rockwell, in which the business is done, has dou. bled in population and prominence since the organization. Machinery, coal, flour and all articles essential for the farmers are handled and similar institutions in the town have been driven out.
 Much interest was at one time at- tached to the future of this concern but under wise management it has constantly grown, and is a boon to A

Hereford leads, followed closely by the Angus, grade and Shorthorn, the scrub at the end, after considerable interval. In the quantity of fat produced breed exerts an influence, and looking at the question from a commercial stand point the Shorthorns and their grades are superior and more profitable than other breeds of cattle. In point of pal stability or rather juiciness of flesh the Angus and Shirtnorns are ahead of scrubs. Shorthorns stand first in the power of beef production with Angus, grades, scrubs and Herefords follow ing in the order named. For all around excellence Angus is thought to stand at the head of the beef breeds i1 this test, followed by ShortnornS, grades and Herefords, while scrubs fall so far behind in point of profitable beef production as to stand out of the range of comparison. The bulletin states that the absence of scrubs on the range or on the farm, is, there fore, a test of the owners intelli- gence.
 It is of course to be understood that there is no pretense on the part of those making the test that the con- clusions reached. by it are settled. All that is pretended is that in this test these conclusions were arrived at Those of them which relate to the feeding superiority of well bred cat tie are so fully confirmed by other in vestigations that here the conclusions it may be assumed really do conclude. But with respect to the closer points of superiority in the various directions in favor of this or that breed, much additional testimony will be required before it will be possible to say more than that in this particular experiment these results followed the feeding of these particular cattle.

Ep1soN,s LATEST PRODUCTION.

The home monograph is the best talk
ing and singing machine that you ever
heard. 1t is a perfect wonder. When
you visit Bridgeport call at 63 Fairfield
avenue and ask Mr. Northrop to let you
hear it and you will be well repaid for
your trouble, even if you do not wish to
purchase. 1t costs only SO more than
the cheapest one, and will last lifetime.
They also have the low priced ones and
records of all kinds. They carry the
largest line of sheet mu 'ic, folios and in
struction books in the city, and their pri-
ces are the lowest. If you wish to buy q
piano for cash you can save 800 or more
by buying of them. They are beadquaI-
tiers for pictures and frames. You will
find there unframed pictures from five
cents to 500. If you have any pictures
to frame take them there when you first
re ach the city and you can have them to
take home with you at night. They do
trst-class work for popular prices.
