highlands supply of STORE Cattle
The rearing and selling of store c&t~
tie is one OF the most important and
lucrative departments of Irish stock
breeding, says the English Live Stock
Journal. THE trouble and expense of
raising young cattle" have little to do
with It, Though we always advise
breeding in preference to buying 1T
must be recognized that in parts of
England and Scotland the system OF
farming and other circumstances rem
der 1t more convenient TO buy than TO
breed store cattle. The expense Is
probably as great to buy the stores as
to breed them-at any rate, the farmer
who buys and feeds large number OF
stores Is, as a rule, a capitalist, and
the plan suits him best. The agricul-
turists Of Canada and the United
States would certainly like very well
TO GUST Ireland from this profitable
market The extensive pasture lands
of Ireland enable the farmers of Great
Britain, and especially those of Scot
land, ito forego, to great extent, the
trouble and expense of raising young
stock" The frames of the store cat
tie exported from Ireland are built up
out of the Irish grass lands, the ami
mails being fattened and finished" In
| Great Britain. This interesting in
stance" it is stated, "of a territorial
division of labor, within the sphere
Of agriculture, between different coun-
/ tries, affords evidence, for one thing,
of the fine bone-producing qualities of
the great limestone plains of Ireland
At the same time so great an expas-
sion of the export trade in store cattle
as has now taken place involves an
exhausting drain on a great natural re-
source of the country"
On the same subject Live Stock
Journal (of Chicago) says:
As there has been no case of pleuro-
pneumonia in the 100000 Canadian cat
tie landed and slaughtered at British
ports since 1896 the English and Scot
fish farmers are again protesting
against the continuance of the en-
barge of Canadian live cattle as stores
(feeders). Ireland supplied Great
Britain 427, S91 store cattle last year,
and half as many fat cattle. OF the
bulls used in Ireland for breeding there
were, according to the official returns,
S,406 Shorthorns, 329 Herefords, 764
Aberdeen-Angus, 116 Red Polled, 376
Kerry, 103 Dexters, sc Channel Islands,
and Alps cross-bred and other bulls.
The total is 1926, of which 1886
were bred in Ireland and $50 were i'm
ported.
Great Britain has increased her pas
ture lands from 1900 900 acres in 1870
to 10000 acres in 1900. That is,
more than half of the 100000 acres
of farm land Is in pasture. This in
dictates the extent of live stock breed
: ing and feeding among British farmers
on their high-priced lands much higher
than any American farms AS the
competition of cheap grain from for.
eign countries increases, live stock o.
the improved breeds increase and witt
2 it the inevitable increase in pasture
( lands as the highest source of agri
r cultural prosperity. So, too, will oul
eastern and southern states find in
, creased prosperity as they increase ant
, improve their live stock, especially OF
their high-priced lands.

For dinner which is to include, say,
oysters, consomme, meat, salad and

dessert is a sherbet or jelly, lay each

the advertisement might be accompa-
hied by the portrait of the lady who
replied.
A collateral result of this notice was
that two or three of the best photo
graphic artists of the city had more
work on their hands than they
could attend to. The direct
result was sixty-fve letters,
with as many fair maidenly coun-
kenances as would fill a good-sized al
bum. The answers were in some cases
accompanied by parental certificate,
setting forth in touching language the
charms and virtues of the daughters.
The young man replied to each OF
his correspondents that, before coming
to a final decision, personal view
would be of advantage. To each of the
ladies, without the knowledge of the
others, he sent ticket for an orches-
ira stall in the Scala Theater, an
nouncing that he himself would be in
particular box, the number and sit
uation of which he stated.
A few evenings later the play-going
public of Milan were perplexed to ex-
plain the appearance of one of the
rows of stalls in that immense build
ing. A long line Of beauties in toll
cites of extreme elegance, unbroken by
single black coat, was observed
Fnrtively, and with trepidation, did
each damsel from time to time raise
her opera glass to that box-the cyno-
sure of many bright eyes-in which
the graceful youth reposed.
Suspiciously, and with darkened
brow, did each damsel turn to the long
file Of her neighbors, and wonder al
the magnetism which drew each glass
TO the one central spot. BY and by the
audience, to whom some hint of the
secret had leaked out, began to give
audible signs that they enjoyed th'
coke. The sporadic laughter of th'
theater increased the confusion of th'
young ladies, and the contagion of fur
turned the sporadic mirth into a gen
eral roar.
At this point our informant drop

At the Indiana Experiment station
whether slop or dry feed were most
profitable and to determine In what
proportion to solid food water should
exist in the feed. The figures reported
also bring out the fact that pigs
weighing so pounds, fed dry feed, con-
sumed on an average of 2.35 pounds
of water daily, and that this amount
increased nearly constantly until these
same pigs weighing 21S pounds con-
sumed 11.07 pounds per day. 1t Ia
also shown that pigs fed water in their
food as a slop, when Weighing about
go pounds consumed either 2.42, AIS or
5.79 pounds of water per day, while
these same pigs weighing 213 to 222
pounds consumed either SIT, IA or IS
pounds of water per day. Undoubtedly
much of this water was consumed I'M
necessarily and certainly one lot was
given much more water with its grain
than was required. There was no ma
terial difference in the appearance of
the pigs in either lot, so far as quality
is concerned, and so far as this one
experiment goes, the use of about two
times the weight of water to grain in
dictates a satisfactory proportion. In
view of the fact that the pigs fed dry
grain made slightly the best gains, it
would appear that there is really no
gain in feeding the pigs slop instead
of a dry grain excepting as feeder
may regard it matter Of convenience

In the growing of small berries, ir-
rigation is destined to play an i'm
portant part, even in the states of good
rainfall. In the semi-arid states ir-
rigation for fruit-growing is an ac-
cepted necessity, but up to the present
time it has been thought to be quite un-
necessary for fruit growers in the East
to consider irrigation. Perhaps one
of the most successful of irrigation ex-
periments was conducted at the Wis
consin station, where the yield of
Strawberries was immensely increased
as well as their quality.
There is one point in favor OF ir-
rigated berries that should not be over
looked. and that is the certainty of a
crop in very dry years when most ber-
ries prove a failure. The irrigated
berries, being as abundant as usual,
yet bring higher price than usual on
account of the scarcity. The New Jer-
sey station reports that In one year
their berries sold at wholesale at 10
cents per quart, and the scarcity OF
berries was not as great as it had been
during some other years.

1--WE TOLD YOU So"

The people who predicted that Mr..
w. A. Clark would have to put up
if he ever succeeded in being elected
to the United States senate again,
have an emphatic 81 told you So com
ing to them. The situation immed-
lately after the election did not have
much promise of vindicat.on for those
prophets, but the nearer the contest
approached the more likelihood there
appeared of their prophecy turning
out to be sound and the absolute
proof of it comes in the refusal Of the
Lewis and Clarke delegation to go
into the Clark caucus.
Truly the action of the Lewis and
Clarke delegation was a Brutus like
thrust-"the most unkindest cut OF
ALL" Such action would not have been
surprising from almost any other del
egation but after what Clark has done
for Helena the hold up for it is
plainly nothing else, of the Lewis and
Clarke delegation is the basest in
gratitude. OF all the fusion legis-
lators Clark should have been able to
depend upon them, but now that they
have led the way for revolt where
can it be expected to stop?
OF course, Clark is himself to
blame. He has given abundant rea-
son, from time to time, for the belief
of those whose support he seeks that
he is willing to pay for it, and pay
WE'LL and it is not to be expected that
such a sudden shut down on the sys-
tenn of purchase and sale is going to
be quietly endured even by the pure
and undefiled fusion legislators.
They can see no good reason why
Clark should not buy them as he has
bought others. They appear to have
no sense of loyalty to the man who
lected them, and the man whom the
people who voted for them want 70
represent them in the senate.
Mr.. Clark unquestionably has cause
to feel aggrieved and if he has made
up his mind not to buy any votes,
come what may, he is entitled to all
praise. Upon such platform, win
or lose, he will be a bigger better
and more respected man in Montana
than he has ever been before. He may
not be able to pull so many votes,
but votes are not by any means al
ways certificate of good character,
or decent motives in Montana or else
