IMPROVING CATTLE.
What May BE Accomplished In .
Few Years,

One of the gratifying features Of the
pure bred cattle sales this season Is
the increasing large number Of those
engaged in producing commercial cat
tie who appear as buyers Of pure bred
bulls, says The Live Stock Indicator.
We do not mean by this that they
show up as purchasers of $500 sires.
This kind of cattle fall into the hands
of breeders who already have excellent
pure bred herds and who seek to
carry the work of improvement still
further forward in them. The breed
ers Of common cattle are purchasing
pure bred bulls of what may be called
the useful kind from the beefmakers'
standpoint. The bulls are good in
dividuals and without fault in their
pedigrees, and in spite of the increased
demand of the season for improved
breeding animals the owners Of COM
mercal herds are buying their bulls
very reasonably. More OF them should
do so.
If they do not keep cows enough to
warrant buying n good bull, two or
more neighbors who in the aggregate
do keep enough should join in the pur-
chase. If all over given section a
good pure bred bull were owned in
each 80 cows, the cattle of that section
would in q very few years attain a
reputation that would make them de-
sired and at prices well toward the
top. 1t would be profitable thing not
only for the individual producers of
the cattle, but it would be a public
benefit by reason of the standing it
would give to the product of the Sec
ton in the general markets. If the
calf that was "just a calf were worth
SIS at a given age, a we'll bred calf at
the same age would be worth half as
much more. Figure out the increased
value that this would put on years
calf crop got by single animal and
add to the amount the price that would
have to be paid for a common bull. on
the theory that he will pay for himself
the first year for the next season for
nothing. When the heifers become
too numerous in the herd. he is still a
serviceable bull and can be sold to
those who know what they are about
for q good price, if he be good one
because his get can be shown and his
value as an improver of common cat
tie demonstrated, and the money he
he brings will buy another unrelated
bull to take his place.
1t is important that changes of this
| kind should be made from time to
| time; otherwise there will be inbrced
| ing, the stock will deteriorate, and the
| owner will fall into the error of sup
| posing that improved stock does not
| pay when in reality the fault is his
| own. One or more farmers who will
| pursue this course can in half score
| of years bring up their herds to point
| where for all commercial beef produc-
| ing purposes they will be practically
| pure bred, and every steer that they
| will have sold in tie interval will have
brought from a third to half more
than common stock would sell for.

Chinese Dressmal sers.

The sewing as we'll as dressmaking
Is all done by men tailors in China.
There are many amusing stories told
of them as copyists Of the Americans
way Of making up garments. A friend
had need of dozen undergarments.
AS she came over on shipboard but
ton was lost and an exceedingly clum-
sy and ugly one replaced the lost one,
which was of pearl. On reaching
Shanghai she desired a tailor to copy
from this garment, which was placed
in his hands as a model. He brought
back the garments, exquisite creations
in lace and tucked muslin and each of
the dozen adorned with button eX-
actly like the one on the sample gar
ment.
Upon having his attention called to
the ugly button his reply was, Like
Missy" and he was greatly disappoint-
ed that his efforts to please We're not
appreciated. He had spent many hours
In search for "likee" buttons and no
doubt was greatly disguised with the
unreasonableness of the foreign lady
Alice Hamilton Rich in Woman's
Home Companion.

Those watching the cattle markets
closely at the principal points recently
will notice the slump in prices for COM
mon and inferior grades, says The Ma
tional Stockman. This can DE account
ed for by the fact that an unusual
number of thin grass cattle have been
put upon the markets, a kind that Is
never desirable and that is intrinsically
worth very little to the butcher. 1t
would be as unbusnesslike to put
green fruit or grain on sale as some
cattle that are now coming forward
and losses by shippers and producers
of this class of stock are not to be Won
dered at.
The cause for the liberal marketing
Of these grades is apparent. Dry
weather has made short grass crop
in many sections of the country and
also gave rise to the idea that the corn
crop would be short Not wishing to
be caught short of pasture farmers
have rushed their cattle to market re-
CARELESS of consequences and the re-
suit has been a bitter disappointment
In prices. 1t is to lie hoped that the
recent rains will have the effect of en-
couragirg graziers to keep their stock
until it is ready for the market.

Loss Of Horses In War,

In every great campaign the loss Of
horses Is enormous. Napoleon's dis
astrous retreat from Moscow is said to
have cost him $4,000 out Of 10000
horses. During the Franco-German
war, which lasted from July, 1870, to
May, 1871, Oh, 900 men being engaged,
something like $4,000 horses were lost.
In a campaign like the South African
the loss must be proportionately heav.
Ter, since large numbers of the horses
succumb to the conditions of life to
which they are unused. In the Egyp-
tian campaign Of 1882 we found that
the climate was far more fatal than
the enemy's fire. Half the English
horses employed were disabled, and
Of these 600 died of disease or ex-
hauston, while only GO We're killed in
action. In n cavalry action horses, as
the larger targets, SITTER more heavily
than the men. At Balaklava the light
brigade, 60 strong, lost $50 horses.

Mexican Cattle.

Mexico is rapidly improving as a
cattle raising country. The hacienda
dos, many of whom are very wealthy,
have been importing fine bulls from the
United States for several years, and
slowly, but surely, the long horned,
long legged, swift footed Spanish nom
descript cattle are becoming plumper,
larger and more desirable every way.
1t has been thought that the natural
forage and mild climate of Mexico
were not favorable to the development
IF good dairy or beef cattle; but this
idea has now disappeared and Next
can cattle, like the Texas natives, are
being developed into valuable types at
a rate that astonishB the happy go
lucky people Of the land Of POGO

TRlBuIE 10 MRS. SON

We have received from Frederick E.
Bach, of the Cuban Customs Depart
ment, a copy OF the first number of the
Havana Post which has succeeded the
Havana Journal. This paper comes
near home in this particular issue, foT
it's news columns contain an account
OF the tragic death of Mrs. James II.
Wilson, and in its editorial columns
we find the following tribute:
The unfortunate accident which oe-
CURED at Matanzas on last Saturday,
whereby the wife OF General Wilson,
commanding general OF the Department
OF Matanzas, lost her life, is one of the
saddest accidents the press has had to
chronicle since the army of interven-
ton entered Cuba. In alighting from
her carnage she stepped upon a tiny
explosive match which was fired by the
friction and from which her clothing
was ignited, quickly burning her so Sc
verely that she died few hours later
from shock. Her coachman tried hero
ically to save her life, but his efforts
were unavailing. Disasters of this ma
ture are always shocking, exciting the
sincerest grief from kinsmen and
friends. Mrs. Wilson was possessed of
charming character, she had arrived
at a mature age, was a constant COM
panion to her honored and knightly
consort, and especially because of the
position of responsibility and promi-
nence he now occupies her death will
excite more than the usual sentiment
of sympathy and regret. 1t was a sad
accident, destroying a useful life and
bringing a heavy sorrow upon a noble
man.
This Is but another demonstration of
the love which Cubans entertained for
the gifted and kind-hearted woman
who had done so much for them in the
short time she had been in Cuba.
