Buying Young Stock Cattle.

Farmers living tributary to Chicago
are luying buying more of the young
stock cattle going to that market and
thus utilizing their surplus pasture.
The stockman who ships this class of
cattle to market is fully aware how
cheap the farmers bought them. The
Drovers' Journal says, in speaking of
this class of stock: There is a sur
prising number of such cattle coming
for this time of the year. which IS all
the more surprising when the fact is
taken into consideration that pasture
is good in the district from which many
of these cattle come"

THEIR EXPENSE ACCOUNTS.
20methinE of a Difference Between
the OutIayS of a bishop and
Drummer.

At the Methodist general conference re-
Gently held in Chicago certain members,
both lay and clerical, freely criticised the
large expense accounts of some of the bish-
ops, relates the Chicago Chronicle. They
were charged with extravaganza, and told
that they had no right to live like princes
while serving the Lord. Bishop McCabe has
felt personally aggrieved by these criticisms,
and has published reply. He declares that
his own annual travelling expenses average
less than $780, The bishops bill certainly
looks modest. He states that commercial
traveller to whom he showed his account
Laughed long and loud and said "The
house for which l work allows me eight
dollars a day for travelling expenses" This
comparison unquestionably is most favora-
bic to the bishop. One is reminded, how
ever, that there are certain necessary items
of heavy expenditure to the account of a
successful drummer which are escaped by an
itinerant bishop. If Bishop McCabe were
obliged to treat his constituents as literally
and as frequently as the average CONNER
cial traveller he might find an allowance of
eight dollars per day none too ample.

THE GOOD BEEF STEER.
Animal That Eattens Quickly Is Best
Both for Farmer and the Butcher
That Buys Him.

There is no one breed of beef cat
tie better than all others under tho
circumstances and conditions. The
trouble with cattle from the butchers
standpoint is too big shoulders, Civ
ing the forcquarters too large pro-
portion to the rest of the carcass,
says the Indiana Farmer.
The muscles that are exercised the
most are the toughest; for this rea-
son the inside two-thirds of the round
is good, while the outside third is not
so good. A thick, mellow hide-not
hard, harsh hide-denotes more
clean meat than a thin hide. A
straight back, well sprung rib and
width of loin indicate large amount
of the high-priced meats in a car
cass. The comparison of animals in
the show ring is often so close that
the awarding of the prize turns on a
very small point, as tie or a diniple
in the back, which cuts no figure in
the usefulness or profit of the animal.
A typical beef animal should have a
thicker neck than the dairy breeds,
the flesh should begin at the front;
the animal should have the greatest
possible thickness of flesh along the
back between the shoulders and the
hips and the width of the hip should
be carried forward to the shoulders.
The Angus are the thickestfieshed
beef cattle; their greatest fault is too
much of a spread of the shoulder
blades at the top; they do not mature
quite as quick as the Herefords. 1t
would be hard to tell which of the
beef breeds at 80 months old on the
same care and feed would make the
greatest gain. Young animals develop
muscle along with the fat, and when
fattened young contain a larger pro-
portion of lean meat to the fat and
are hence more profitable to the
butcher. The first 1000 pounds put
on steer is the cheapest as the ami
NAL is growing as well as fattening
and the cost of increase of weight in
creases with the age.
