Influence of Manures on Mutton.

Influence OF ManureS on MutJOns
Much useful information may be |
gathered from the paper on this subject |
which appears in 1.-THE Board Of Agri-
culture Journal (British) over the
name of Professor Somerville. During |
the last three summers experiments |
were conducted at Cookie Park, North |
cumberland, for the purpose of she'd
ding some light on the point, and the
present article gives a detailed account
of the proceedings and results of the
third years Investigations. These ex-
periments differ from the common
order of field trials in the vital sense
that they endeavor to test the iullu-
ences of the various substances, oingly
and in combination, on the nutritive
properties of the heritage produced, as
well as their respective powers IN in
creasing the yield, The two points are
widely different, as any observant
stockowner will be prepared to attest,
and as regards pasture, at least, the
quality of the heritage is scarcely Of
less importance than the quantity
One thing is quite certain, and that is
that by far too little attention is be-
slowed on the character of our grass
land in a qualitative sense. In our
keen desire to obtain bulk the less
noticeable but equally important ques-
ton of Of quality is often overlooked or
but little attended to, and that, too,
while everyone who has made proper
use of his experience in the manage
ment of live stock is aware that it is
not always the most productive pas
lures nor the seasons Of plentiful grass
supply that make the animals record
the best rate Of progress.
The primary and chief object of the
Cookie Park experiments is to direct
attention to the quality of the heritage a
pasture may yield, and the particulars
which DR.. Somervile adduces seem
well calculated to attain the end in view.
The consuming value of pasture may
be judged by two standards; first, its
influence in increasing the live weight
of the animals, and, second, the effect
it exercises on the quality of the beef
or mutton. Just as in the case of ma
nurjng, the two things are not synony-
nous, though the farmer may be for
given if he attaches prior Importance
to the gain in weight. The manures
which were most influential in this re-
spect were the phosphate dressings,
basic Stag in large quantities, and SUI
perphosphate, the latter accompanied
by sulphate of potash or lime, prefera-
bly, potash. One OF the chief points TO
note is that all the eight manurial dress
ings employed had an appreciable effect
in reducing the quantity of heritage re-
quired to produce one pound of live
weight in the sheep. The non-success
of lime alone is another fact worthy OF
notice, and may quite easily be due to
the soil, since lime usually exercises q
beneficial influence on grass land.
In the case of Devonshire farmer
who kept poultry on scientific princi-
pies, namely, in movable houses and
runs, it was found some few years age
that sheep fed on field where the
fowls had been kept improved consid'
cradle in weight, but it was not ascer.
tanned, we believe, whether there was
concurrent improvement in the quail.

BLUE CANYON PEOPLE.

Allied corporations, with the energy Of
youth and the strength Of wealth, are the
Blue Canyon Coal Co. and the Belling-
ham Bay & Eastern Railway Co., which
are among the newest Of our active
corporations. M. E. Downs is the presi-
dent of the coal company, and, although
Vermonter, has spent years in Mon
tana and Colorado, mining and contract
ing, whereby he has made a large
fortune. He is heavily interested in the
Livingston Coal & Coke Co. and has
managed the famous Jay Gould gold
mine, and roamed his cattle DER q
thousand hills. He is only 50 years of
age, and is the moving spirit of the Blue
Canyon Coal Co. and of the B. B. &c.
railway.
J. III. Bloedel is secretary Of the coal
company and prominent stakeholder
10 both corporations. He was one of
the Blue Canyon owners before it was
purchased by the Montana syndicate,
and preferred to retain his interest,
rather than sell. For so prominent and
able business man he is very young,
being yet in his 10Th year. He was
formerly much interested in athletics
and held the bicycle championship of
the United States. Mr.. Bloedel is vice
nrnsidonk If the Foirhovau Nok;oocI
bank.
Last, but not least, of the local man
ayers of these corporations is J. J.
Donovan, the engineer. He came to
Whatcom county with the building of
the Fairhaven & Southern branch of the
Great Northern, and has thoroughly
identified himself with all projects for
the advancement of the country since
he entered it. He was the chief engineer
of the Fairhsven & Southern, and now
holds the same position on the B. B. &
E. He was for seven years the engineer
in charge of the Cascade division, west,
OF the Northern Pacific, and afterwards
had charge OF the location and construc-
ton of bridges, etc. in Montana for the
same company. He has also been en-
gagged in Great Northern surveys. He
is young man, and was born in New
Hampshire SO years ago. He expects
his company to complete the B. B. & E.
during 1894.

BLUE CANYON AT SAN FRANCISCO.
In September of 1892 the bark J. D.
/ Peters loaded 1910 tons of Blue Canyon
coal for San Francisco, and thus after a
| lapse of fifteen years since the old
Bellingham Bay Coal Co. ceased opera
tons, did this bay agaia become favor
ably known as a coal shipping port. In
| December the ship Highlander took
! 1917 tons to San Francisco, and on Jan
uary 2, 1893, the company opened an
office at No. 4, California street, in the
best business portion of San Francisco.
Since that date IL, 1853 tons have been
shipped to San Francisco, OF which one
cargo, the Alaska, was lost at sea Oh
April %, with 1880 tons. Owing to the
financial depression on the coast no
shipments have been made the past two
months, but it is hoped that revival of
business will soon set in when ship
ments will be continued.
COST OF DEVELOPMENT.

coal mine it may be said the outlay FIR
Improvements, development and railroad
facilities far exceeds the popular idea.
The expenditures of the company and it's
allied corporation, excluding the origin
al purchase price of the stock of the coal
company, exceeds half million dollars

1891, to Sept, 1898:

This company. though owning but a
few miles of road, is an important factor
in the development of the Bay, furnish,
ing, as it does, the only outlet for the
timber and coal of Lake Whatcom. In
the fall of 1891 parties interested in the
Blue Canyon coal mine obtained a fran
chise for building a railroad along GER
tain streets and alleys in New Whatcom,
citizen meetings were held and free
right OF way granted through the town,
and In December the company was reg
ularly incorporated and organized with
