LONG-HoRNED TEXAS STEER.
A Picturesque Animal That is Rapidly
Passing Away.
From the st. Louis Republic.

From the ST. Louis Republic.
Ten years from now the visitor at the
national stock yards will look at the mas
sive horns nearly six feet from tip to tip
that hang over the doorway of Stewart &
Overstreets Office and hardly be able to
believe that they were taken from the
head of beef critter" on the Texas
ranges, and that hundreds of thousands of
cattle with such horns once ran half wild
on the ranches and plains of the lone star
state. For the passing of the long-horned,
long-legged, uncertain colored and still
more uncertain tempered Texas steer is a
thing of today, and in his place we find.
or ere rapidly finding, a stockily built, red
or roam animal, with short, stubby horns,
or no horns at all. The Texas steer of to-
day is not properly descended from the
Texas cattle of the past. He has simply
supplanted the others on the ranges, and
the former animal has either migrated fur
Their south or has gone out into space and
is no mere.
The improvements it most certainly is
has been brought about in many ways.
The first great change came when the cat
tie man decided that car space that could
be filled up by good, salable beef was more
profitable than that taken up by the pic
turesque horns of the Texas steer, and be-
gan to dehorn the yearlings and young
steers. More could be gotten into a car, as
they could stand closer together. 1t was
but a step to then begin to improve the
quality by crossing the cows with fine bred
bulls. Durham, Hereford and Angus, and
the Texas steer of 1900 will compare very
favorably with the cattle in Missouri. He
has taken on weight and will average 100
to 150 pounds heavier than in former days.
This in speaking of grass-fed cattle. The
difference is very perceptible to an old
timer at the yards as he looks at the mod
ern animal weighing on the average 1000
to LOO pounds, and contrasts him with
the long-legged, long-horned. yellow crea-
ture, tipping the scale at 100 to 800 pounds.
and with a pair of six-foot scythes on his
restless head.
True, there are still many of the old-time
animals left and they come to the national
yards by the train load. But the number
of the ''long horns is decreasing every
year in favor of the better bred and more
profitable animals.

AMERICAN CHURCHES,
An Interesting Summary of the An
nual Statistical Showing.

An Interesting Summary of the An
nual Statistical Showing.
From the New York Sun.
The Independent for this week contains
its usual annual statistics of the American
churches, from which it appears that in
1899 the number of ministers was 153,901,
of churches 1903, and of members b.
710.OO4.
According to this table the membership
increased during the year about 1 per cent
the increase in the number of ministers
was nearly per cent, and the number of
churches stood almost still, increasing only
421 out of the total of 1877 ,S03 Such
large disproportionate increase in ministers
may be taken as an explanation of the
cause of the present complaint of an over
nominations and the consequent suffering
among them.
The increase of 1 per cent only in the
growth, but the circumstances that nearly
pie are affiliated with churches suggests
that the assaults on the foundations of re-
ligion from within the church itself have
not yet seriously disturbed the hearty or
nominal popular allegiance to it More
than nineteen-twentieths of this great total,
too, is made up of Christian believers. for
the Independents table includes only L.
DAB, 800 Jews, and the aggregate member
ship of the infidel societies is very small.
The Christian churches with a member

OF these churches the greatest proper
tionate gain in membership was made by
the Congregationalists and the Disciples of
Christ, or per cent each: the Lutherans,
20 per cent; the Baptists, 2 per cent the
Episcopalians, 1.5 per cent; the Presbyteri
ans, IL per cent, the Roman Catholics, g
per cent. and the Methodists, ) per cent.
The United Brethren lost I per cent, and
the Reformed Ia per cent. OF the church
es not named in this list the Reformed
Catholics claim so per cent increase, but 1t
was only from a total of LOCO in 1898 to
1900 in 1899. The Church of the New Jeru-
salem, or Swedenborgians, increased IL per
cent by adding $50 members and making
the total 1862. The Latter Day Saints or
Mormons increased slightly. the present
total being the large number of 343.000.
The Unitarians. despite the decline of re-
ligious faith. made no gain, but still claim
$4,000 only, and the Universalists actually
fell off 81 per cent
1t is noticeable from the table printed
above how much greater proportionately
the number of ministers and churches is in
the Protestant denominations than in the
Roman Catholic. This Is Indicative of lar
ger Roman Catholic parishes, and 1t also
suggests great advantage enjoyed by that
Church in making the expenditure of mon
ey go further. For instance, the Metho-
dists, with only 5,s09,516 members, have
more than three times the number of min.
listers and four times the number of church.
S,446,3O1; the Baptists, with four millions
less membership, have three times the
number of ministers and more than four
times that of churches, and the Episco-
palians, with only one-twelfth the MEM
bership have nearly half as many ministers
and about one-eighth as many churches
OF the minor and eccentric denominations,
are the Christian Scientists, returning a to.
tai of $1,000 members, being a gain of IA
per cent during the year; the Spiritualists,
with 5000, and no gain, and the Theoso-
phists, with 5000. and no gain likewise
Finally, included In the Independents table
