Vhv Shorthorns Are Popular,

Ex-Governor G. w. Click of Kaugas.
writing in Farmers Guide. says:
What Is the best breed of beef cattle
TO breed? Men may differ, and hon
estly, too, as to the best breed OF
males to use to breed up the common
cattle OF the country, and l have nc
quarrel with the friends of any breed.
circumstances, conditions and educa-
ton often have much influence in these
preference. But any of the thorough
breds are far better than the scrub
and the breeder who uses thorough
bred males is far in advance of the
one who uses scrubs. My own prefer
ence is for the Shorthorns. There are
many reasons why l prefer the Short
horn to other breeds. The S%horthorn
improves and breeds up all other
breeds of cattle on which it is crossed.
1t improves all classes of cattle to the
highest point of bovine excellence.
They take on flesh rapidly and ma
ture very early and can be fatted off
at any age and sell in the market for
the block at top prices. The reason

horn puts on flesh on those parts of the
body where the high priced, tender,
juicy steaks and roasts are found. The
scrub steer may make as much weight
for the food consumed as the thor
oughbred or high grade Shorthorn, bu.
no other class of beef animals produce
such a wealth of high-priced steaks
and roasts as are found in the upper
third of the well-fatted Shorthorn
steer. The Shorthorn always shows
evidence of good breeding. 1t has a
pleasant countenance, a mild and
tractable disposition, a broad, level
back, that carries a wealth of the best
finely marbled steaks and roasts that
bring the highest price in the markets.
with thickly feshed loins, long and
well-finished quarters, while it has the
we'll sprung ribs that give it a style
and finish, inc which are covered with
thick, juicy flesh, mellow to the touch,
and, though firm, is well marbled and
tender.
This great, broad back is one of his
distinguishing qualities. This broad
back furnishes all the high-priced
meats. 1t gives assurance that in cut
ting up and selling out the carcass that
the largest percentage of good and
valuable meat will be found and the
largest percentage of good beef to live
weight will reward the purchaser. 1t
is the high price of the rib, the porter
house, the sirloin and the round steaks
that give the greatest value of the well
fed beef steer, and in the production
of these valuable parts the Shorthorn
steer has no equal when the whole
carcass is considered in connection
with its market value. While it is
true, once in a while, that a small
number Of another family of beef cat
tie may sell as we'll or better on some
particular day in the market, it only
attests the skill of a good feeder and
does not disprove the fact that the
Shorthorn is the best beef steer. and
as a beef producer has no rival and is
by far the best seller every day, that
goes to the market.

A Raining Tree,

The island of Ferro is one of the lar
gest in the Canary group, and it has
received its name on account of its
iron bound soil, through which no riv-
er nor stream flows. In the midst of
the island there grows a tree known
as the raining tree, the leaves of
which are long and narrow. 1t con-
tinues in constant verdure winter and
summer, and the branches are covered
with a cloud which is never dispelled,
but resolving itself into a moisture,
causes to fall from its leaves a very
clear water in such abundance that els
terms placed at its foot to receive 1t
are never empty.

While the top still hummed under its

explained, to the low temperature of

were assembled in a colder room,

blew a bubble very carefully upon a

Strawberry Pests. The earliest
strawberries come from Florida, and
there, as elsewhere, this fruit, as we'll
as every other crop, is subject to at
lacks of disease n insects. The Flor
ida strawberry crop has suffered espe-
cially from the attacks of thrips. In
both 1896 and 1897 the strawberry crop
of the state is said to have been re-
duced fully one-third by the inroads
of these insects. The Investigations
and remedies tried by the Florida Sta
ton are interesting, as the thrip breeds
over a wide field Of territory and at
tacks various crops. With stra
ries this insect attacks the pistils, re-
sulting in the blighting of the ovaries.
The injurious effects of the thrips Sc sn
to be in preventing the fertilization of
the ~ovules. 1t also attacks various 9TH
er foliage crops, such as pear leaves
plums, peas, parsley, various berries.

There are several other paragraphs

same thing. I believe she is quite
right. Compromise between the married
is as good as arbitration between ma
tons. But 1 do not think that any
thing is quite so dangerous as an at
tempt at arbitration between the mar
ried. If they cannot settle and ar
range their differences no one can do
it for them. Besides, what they know
of each other is privileged, and so long
as there is ne pretence of keeping the
compact that knowledge must be in
violably secret. 1 can think of nothing
quite so vile and low as a wife COM
