Russian Cattle for Eng1and .

The Russians are now talking of in
vading England with their cattle. A
commission from the Russian Agri-
cultural society will visit England
soon to pave the way for this class of
business. Our shippers need not be
worried about Russian competition in
the live stock field. Russia has COM
pa.atively few cattle to spare, and
they are not of a class that will meas
ure favorably with ours in quality.
The English people have accepted our
cattle as good if not superior to their
own and no other country can fill the
bill. However, we should not stop at
this, but strive to make them better.
There is still room for improvements

BOW CATTLE MULTIPLY.
rhcre Is No Business as Profitable as
the Systematic Raising
OF Good Stock.

There is money in raising cattle and
no one who has ever kept them and
cared for them in a business way has
ever made a statement to the con-
trary, says the Texas Stockman and
Farmer. A young man cannot invest
$50 in safer or more certain business
than to buy good cow and take care
of her progeny for period of five or
ten years. In ten years $50 at ten per
cent. will double itself, but wherecan
q young man loan $50 at such rate of
interest? Anyway at the end OF ten
years he will only have 500 for his in
vestment. If he will invest $50 in one
good prolific COW and take care of her
and her offspring for ten years, his
$50 will not only double but create
more than 1000 per cent. of the first
principle. As an example of what can
be done in this line case is given by
the Hoxie Sentinel.
"Ten years ago" says the Sentinel,
"John Sims presented his two sons,
Willis and Robert, with cow each and
put them in Willis Johnson's herd to
pasture, instructing Mr.. johnson to
sell or trade the steer calves for heif-
ers and also sell enough of the increase
to pay the herd bills, which he has
done. Mr.. Sims and family returned
home from Colorado, where they had
been seven years, and the boys found
that each had nice little herd of cat
tie. One had rat Their bad luck, however,
and only found IL, while the other
found that he was the possessor of 20,
making a total of IS for the two cows,
after deducting all loss and expenses"
If the young men in question had
worked and cared for their respective
stock and with the proceeds of ma
tured animals added more breeding
animals to their herds, it is plain that
the above figures could easily have
been doubled.

The Pig. and Their Dams,

There is great difference of opin.
ion in regard to the time that young
pigs should be allowed to remain with
their dams. If we only desire to raise
one litter year they may be allowed
to remain with their dam until they
are about ten weeks old, but if two lit
tiers are to be raised, it will be neces-
sary to wean them when six or eight
weeks old. We may also be guided
largely by the way the young pigs are
thriving. If the milk of the dam does
not agree with them it may be wise to
wean them early, but if they are doing
we'll it is better to let them remain
with the dam some eight or ten weeks

FEEDING A SKELETON.
An Old Scotch story from Which
Scores of Am r lean Farmers CAn
Draw q Lesson.

A story is told of q Scotch physician
who was in search of boy with suf-
ticent nerve to assist him when diff
cult surgical operations were on hand.
The doctor, by the way, was ven-
triloquist, and he hit upon he follow
ing plan to enable him to secure the
boy he was looking for: Each candi-
date was set to work to feed Cruel to
Il skeleton which stood in an adjacent
room. No sooner had the boy got to
work than the doctor would call out
more" The voice sounded to the boy
as though it came from the skeleton.
4 number of those first tried, as soon
as they heard the sepulchral tones,
dropped the bowl of Cruel and ran.
At length boy was found who con-
tinued to feed the cruel, notwithstand.
ing the repeated cries of the skeleton
for more. When the cruel was all fed
he struck the skeleton on the side of
the head with the spoon, saying as he
did so: my, Bony, but you are hard
to satisfy" This boy got the posi-
ton.
We laugh at the idea of feeding
skeleton, but are not some persons
engaged in just about as profitable
business? They feed live stock all the
winter, that is to say, young and
growing stock. The animals go out
in the spring just about as they went
into the yard in the fall The chief
difference is that they have a little
more bone and hair in the spring and
q little less flesh. Sometimes they
have considerably less in the spring
than in the fall. Those persons have
been about as proftably employed as
the boy who was feeding the skeleton,
and the food fed to those animals ac-
complished about as much for those
who fed them as the food fed to the
skeleton accomplished for the owner
of the same. So it is with all growing
animals. The food fed to them is
wasted when they make no growth
