II is with no small degree Of salts
faction that the American shorthorn
Breeders Asosclatlon congratulates all
breeders on the continued prosperous
condition and tho bright outlook for
the breed, In spite Of the severe drouth
that has prevailed throughout the corn
belt states Cattle breeders every
where viii hail with Joy the report OF
the splendid sale of Geo. Harding a.
Son at Chicago, August 7, where nearly
90 Shorthorns made an average OF
S6b7, This was a choice lot OF cattle,
being carefully selected from three
most excellent herds, and at the prices
realized some OF these cattle were no
doubt sold at loss, But the action
of Messrs Harding In resolutely going
on with the sale and the confidence
shown by the men who bought the cat
tie, under conditions calculated TO test
mems nerves will prove source OF In
spiratlon and encouragement TO all
breeders. The effect OF the drouth
has no doubt been exaggerated In some
localities, but admitting It's severity, Is
II not better for the cattleman to res
olutely face the conditions and pre-
serve valuable breeding animals by
some economy In the most costly feed
and by utilizing the cheaper food stuff
which 10 ordinarily wasted on most
farms than 10 dispose of his cattle at
sacrifice?
The cattleman who makes such a
sacrifice will surely regret II during
next spring and summer when the
price OF beef has gone beyond the high
price Of 1896, and Ia soaring around
the high point Of 1882, and under this
stimulus, pedigreed cattle are being
sold at enhanced values. After a
while the rains will come and grass
when touched by the magic wand OF
water and sunshine will respond to the
touch and grow and grow until the
fields, which are now brown ana
sere" shall be carpeted with a won
drous growth Of green, And since
nature often compensates for partial
failure 1t Is not at all unreasonable
to expect a fall growth of grass, par
ticularly blue grass, that will carry
cattle well into the winter months.
The Association desires to assure the
breeders that the four great national
shows and sales to be held under Its
authority will be made as good as pos
siblo. No effort will be spared. To
accomplish this purpose the cooper
alton Of all breeders Is earnestly re-
Quested. Bring your choice specimens
for exhibition or sale, but II you can
not exhibit your cattle, encourage fair
managers by your presence. The date
for show at Hamline, Mimi, is Sep
tember Q to 7. The sale of Shorthorns
will be Tuesday, September 3, at 10
a. m. The show at Louisville will be
September 2S to 2S, and the Shorthorn
sale September 20, probably In the aft
ernoon. Kansas City show October le
to 26; Chicago show December l to L.

yilAgs ana Late Fail Pasture aud Feed.
The present drouth ia Of such sever
ity that corn will not, In many cases,
furnish ears to pay for husking, and
from the grain standpoint the loss Is
great. The stalks, however, will fur
nlsh much valuable feed, especially
that OF early planted or early matur-
Ing varieties.
While the cured, dry forage Will be
valuable for winter feed, this is an APP
propriate time for farmers TO build
silos and I'LL them with green corn
They thereby secure palatable succu-
lent food for winter use. or during
drouth. AT this time, no better use OF
the corn crop can be suggested.
A silo can be built without great ex-
pense or trouble. The Indiana station
has Just constructed sllo that holds
about 05 tons. II 10 10 feet In dame
ter, and 2S feet high. Studs 10 and IL
feet long of 2x4 pine, were placed YER
tically end TO end, long and short al
ternating to break joints and II inches
from center to center, on circu-
lar brick foundation, two layers deep.
No. pine fencing inch by 0 inch by
10 feet was then resawed to make
boards " inch by 9 inches by 10 feet,
and these dressed to make them lay
true, These were then nailed around
on the inside against the studs, form
Ing a circle, two men bending them IN
to place and mailing on. First one lay
er was nailed up for space, then
tarred paper was laid over this layer,
and this was followed by another lay
er of half-inch stuff, breaking Joints
with that underneath. Four doors
were left at convenient intervals the
width between studs and about IL
Inches high. Boards and tarred paper
may be laid in these doorways, the
ends tapping against the studs, when
the silo Is filled. No roof is provided
or necessary.
Such silo ls strong and inexpen-
sive, and will preserve the contents In
good condition. This one cost without
boarding the outside Of the studs,
slightly under $60O0 not including la
Dor. Lumber is very high priced here,
80 the cost would be much less in
many places,
This silo is simple Of construction
and may be built by any good farm
laborers. 1t will be we'll for our Amer
lean farm economy II more sllos are
constructed and strlcter economy is
followed in saving the crops, and more
especially the corn plant
II is now too late to plant COW peas
or soy beans or other ordinary crops

may be planted as late as September l.,
and considerable forage provided.

and quite a harvest be possible for

rye sown during the next few weeks
should furnish valuable late PASTURE

Economics of the Farm.

Kansas farmers not only have the
running of their harvest gang down to
fine point, but they have the cost
price Of everything at their tongues
end. A binder will cut fifteen acres a
day, and the cost of running 1t is 40
cents an acre. Therefore, a man who
is running fifteen binders is at con-
siderable expense-about 500 every
day The cost of harvesting crop of
wheat, from the sowing to threshing,
is figured as follows: Flowing and
narrowing, 81; seeding and drilling,
$1.5O; cutting, $l,25; threshing, $175;
hauling, $1,5O; total, 81, The farm
help is paid 50 a day and is expected
to work from sun up to dusk, with
double pay for nights or Sundays

Reports from across the border In
dicate that the Canadian cheese max.
ers are not having everything theiI
own way In the English market. The
Canadian High Commissioner to Great
Britain in his last annual report said:
Although there has been a satisfac-
tory expansion in the cheese trade
during the year, am sorry to say that
a good many complaints reached me
on the subject. How far they are
founded on fact do not know, but |
feel that lnust direct attention to
them In order that they may receive
proper consideration. l am told that
Canadian cheese lack the keeping
properties for which they were for
merly noted, and some of my cor
respondents are of the belief that the
product is cured too hastily. Others
urge that not 80 much care is taken
in the manufacture as formerly, and
they have gone SO far as to specify
particular brands and particular dis
tricts, as affording evidence Of their
contentious. On the other hand, there
are still complaints about the boxes
not being strong enough for the
cheese, and not fitting in properly
This leads to damage to the cheese
as well as to the boxes, and under
stand that 1t is fertile cause of COM
plant between the shipper and the I'm
porter" 1t is somewhat Of a surprise
to learn that even the Canadian
cheesemakers that export their prod
uct to Europe are not having clear
sailing.

Elaborate experiments In feeding

The oleomargarine people say leav-
ing the coloring out of oleomargarine
would kill their industry; people
wouldn't eat their product, Now, do
you think people would cease eating
butter II 1t were not colored? Then
why, II 1t would kill one, not the other?
Because the color in one fools people
into thinking it Is butter; they
wouldn't eat 1t II they didn't think so.
They don't reject 1t because 1t has no
color, but because the absence Of this
disguise reveals its true character and
composition. That is the secret of
the fight being made against laws pre-
venting the coloring of oleomargarine.
