Mr.. J. H. Miller says: ''In breed
ing pedigreed cattle for profit,
nothing short of the very best care you
can bestow should be thought Of. In
the first place, we'll fed and highly de-
veloped animals are always attractive;
men who come to breeding barns ex-
pect to see something above the or
binary. 1t will not satisfy the average
buyer to be told all these cattle need

Ill-kept and understood cattle can only
be sold to second and third-rate buy

that bring gain to the breeder The
fat, sleek COWS are silent statesmen of
the breeding barns, more effective than
any speech the owner can make to
bring prospective buyers to the point

our farm we certainly do not allow our
cattle to go hungry. We grind all our

ground grain alone clogs in the stom-

Feeding Buckwheat and Kafir Corn.
4 find buckwheat one of the best
whole grain foods for hens. They new
er become cloyed on it, and it is
great egg producing grain. In expert
ments made in feeding during the past
winter. where the evening feed had
been wholly of corn, I found that the
Substitution of buckwheat materially
increased the egg yield. Kaffir corn
is a grain that should receive more
attention from poultrymen. While its
nutritive value is about the same as
that of Indian corn, it is relished much
better by fowls, and seems to produce
more eggs. Where one raises his own
grain, prefer to feed both buckwheat
and Kaftir corn, unthreshed, as work.

Market for Olives.-The extent of
the American market open to the Cali

olive oil are annually imported into
She United States from Italy, Spain.
and France, and tens of thousands Of
gallons of olive oil adulterated with
peanut, cottonseed, and poppy oil are
sold every year in this country.
Los Angeles Horse Show.-A great
horse show is to be held in Los An
geles in January under the control Of
the Horse Show association Of South

A pamphlet will shortly be issued by
the association setting forth the rules
