What Kind of Horse to Raise.

What Kind of Horse to Raise.
We see the advice is given to the
farmers to raise only draft horses.
That advice is very good to the farm
er that has mare suitable to breed
to heavy draft horse, but there are
multitudes of farmers that cannot af-
ford to purchase suitable mares on
which to raise draft horses. The ad-
vice is also given to raise coach horses.
but even S5OO-coach horses cannot be
raised on the kind of foundation stock
available. A farmer must consider
what he has. If his mare is heavy
enough to become the mother of a
heavy draft horse, she should be bred
to the best draft stallion in reach, ir<
respective of what the service fee may
be- If he has mare that will only
produce horse heavy enough for q
roadster, then breed to the best blood
in that line that can be reached. Above
all, the man that wants to take advan-
tage of the improving horse market
should not breed his mare to the cheap
nondescript stallion whose fee is SO
low that it is positive proof that he is
not worth buying up The really valu-
able stallion has high market price
to-day and such horses do not have to
stand at an Insignificant fee.

Canada to Seek African Butter Market.
A writer in a Canadian paper says
that Canadian dairymen are looking to
South Africa for possible butter mar
ket- 1T will be necessary" says the
writer, ito have on board the steam
ships a system of refrigeration for the
reception of such articles as butter and
cheese, or else there is no possible
chance of such perishable goods max
ing the trip through the tropics and
reaching far away Africa in anything
like a good state of preservation. The
head of one of the important Mon
treal wholesale butter and cheese
houses stated this morning that special
packages, as well as cold storage, was
necessary. The experiment of sending
such articles as butter and cheese into
tropical countries had never resulted
satisfactorily until special provision
was made for taking care of the ship
ments. In the case of butter and
cheese, special packages would have to
he constructed, and for butter, alright
metal castings would have to be made.
Again. special machinery for the pack
ing OF these cases with butter would
also have to be manufactured and in
stalled. Occasionally men come on to
MOuIreal from the tropical countries
full of enthusiasm as to how much
money could be made by shipping Ca
madam butter and cheese. Almost
without exception these shipments
when made turned out disastrcusly
just for the reason that due precau-
tion was not taken in packing the
goods for a tropical market The
packing which is necessary to insure
shipments reaching the South Africa
market in as good condition as Danish
butter, for instance, would mean the
expenditure of nearly so per cent on
the original cost of the butter. There
was no reason, however, why Canada
should not do this as well as any
other country, provided. of course, that
the government had the foresight to
place vessels on the route which had
frst-class refrigeration

Selecting Judges of Swine.

%
w. G. Huey says: In the selection
of the judge, the exhibitors of each
breed of swine should have voice
in selecting the judge or judges of
their respective breeds No one man
should push himself like an autocrat
and dictate who should be judge of
the various breeds, and do so over the
protest of the exhibitors. The ex-
hibitors or breeders of each breed Of
swine should be consulted in the Sc
lection OF their judge And after a
fair expression of opinion of the
breeders of the various breeds has
been secured as to their choice for
judge, the judges for the various
breeds should be selected and their
names published so days previous to
the opening of the fair. The swine
show at the Illinois State Fair is the
royal of America, and the State Board
of Agriculture should make ample
provision for the comforts and con-
venience of the exhibitor and the ex-
hibit, and to see to it that judges
are selected that are competent to
rightfuIly place the awards, and will
do so with clean hands

Result of Good Care and Feeding
Clinton D. Smith, before the Amer
lean Holstein-Friesian Breeders As
sociation, at Syracuse. N. Y, said in
part:
A few years ago, at the Michigan
Agricultural college, had the pleas
ure of carrying on an experiment to
test this question The grand per-
Torrance of our three great Hol-
steins-Rosa Bonheur 5th. Houwtje
d and Belle Sarcastic-had attracted
the attention of the farmers of the
state. Their cry was that while you
have done wonders with COWS, it is
all because you have had such mar
velous stock with which to deal" The
board was easily persuaded to grant
my petition and allow me to put in
herd of some 80 grade cows. to see
what the influence of persistent good
care and persistent dry milking would
be upon the yields of these cows, and
incidently upon the form and capac-
ity of the cows themselves. / re-
gret that the experiment was not con-
t1nued longer, but 1 want to call your
attention to some of the results of the
feeding for a single year. To meet
the farmers on their own ground. 1
went from station to station on the
railroad and drove into the country,
buying good average cows, mostly
grade Shorthorns, but occasionally one
with Holstein blood. The cows arrived
at the college between August and Oc-
tober, and the feeding began. We gave
them grain ration well balanced, but
composed of such materials as the
farmer has upon his farm except that
we supplemented the grain feed with
bran, cottonseed meal or Hnseed meal,
according to the dictates of the mar
ket- The surprising thing to me was
that a Holstein grade costing us $35
responded to the feed SO we'll that she
gave us 10,310 lbs. of milk, containing
344.14 lbs. of fat in A weeks, an aver
age of almost 8 lbs. of fat a week. In
fact, the average yearly yield for the
whole herd exceeded 1000 lbs. of milk
and 304 lbs. of butter. Next to the
highest yield of milk came a COW with
9,135 lbs, and then five other cows
each with an amount of over 5000
lbs. to her credit Four cows gave over
300 lbs. of fat, and but IL cows gave an
amount of fat insufficient to produce
500 lbs. of butter. More than one of
the cows would have gone into the
advanced registry had they been pure
bloods.

Hiah.erade neeves Best.

One has but to watch the market
from year to year to be satisfied that
it pays to raise beeves that are at least
partially "blooded." The advances in
price have been principally on blooded
animals, such as the Herefords, Short
horns, Angus and Galloways and their
grades. 1t has been surprise to peo-
pie in the large cities that during all
this time of high prices for beef there
have been markets in the cities where
the prices of meats were comparatively
1ow-where the prices seldom exceed
ed IA cents per pound for the best
cuts. The explanation of this is that
the 1ow-priced meats come from low
priced animals, the low-priced animals
being those that have been sent to
market out of herds having no par
ticular breeding. Now much of this
cheap meat is really good, but it can
not get the price that the meat from
grade herds commands The men that
are making money are those that are
raising the high-grade steers The
low-grade steers and the nondescripts
are not money makers. Yet these low
selling animals consume about as
much feed as do the high-priced ones

we asked in our circular, pointedly,
for any explanation of the relatively
enormous receipts, but the only one we
have heard is that cotton has been
hurried forward from the interior
towns by the demand caused by the
small estimate issued by the Bureau
on Dec 5. The explanation would be
plausible if the, facts confirmed it. But
it now appears that whereas the states
in all counted towns amounted on Dec.
to $1,000 bales, they amounted by
this mornings figures to $3.50 bales

sustained prices until the estimate of

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Jan. 22.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady, 2 to points lower
and for time was disposed to resist
weakness in the English market and
the influences of big port receipts Wall
street was large buyer of May and
July, and this support prompted small
er bulls to stand firmly by their cot
ton and not follow their first desire
to sell out. All went we'll for a time
and the market seemed in a fair posi-
ton to regain the early loss, as bear
pressure was not much of a factor,
while the estimate for to-morrows
Houston receipts fell short of expecta-
tons. Liverpool partially regained the
early decline of to 31a points and
sent a few buying orders to this side
Yet beneath the surface the local mar
ket seemed to be overriding and to be
entitled to sharp decline under sheer
weight of bales at the Southern ports.
Up to midday the tone remained
steady May opened S.0Sc and stiff
ened to S.1lc, at noon S.09c bid Then
came the New Orleans estimate for
to- morrow's receipts and a rush of
Southern interests to sell. Between
$1,000 and 10000 bales are expected at
the above Gulf port as compared with
less than 5000 a year ago. 1t was fear
of to-morrow's Liverpool response to
the big receipts as much as of the
figures themselves which disturbed To-
cal holders, and in the scramble to
unload, which occurred in the next
hour. May sold down to S.05c and July
S.10c Even during this break Wall
street bought large amounts of the
present crop options. Operations were
very extensive. taking the day as a
whole, with the market in the last
hour weak under active Philadelphia
selling and liquidation of a stop-order
sort
The close was barely steady, with
prices net to IL points lower.

Sc per cent. and the port receipts for
the five days exceed last year by 20, 000
After the closing of Liverpool cables
were received here, claiming that Mr.
Ellison, in his next circular, would re-
duce his estimate of American con-
sumption 300, 900, or in other words

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New Ofk, Jan. DE- L ne pIolcS-
sonal operators in the market made
day. The dullness of the market and
tine congestion of the scanty dealings
into a few stocks reflected the con-
tinued Indifference of the outside pub
lie to the securities market and the
abstention of the great banking in
terests which have made the great
bull markets of last year from any
hand in the trading.
Such narrow price movement as
there was, was pretty much wiped out
in the closing tradings, and many
stocks closed below last night .~Metro-
politan Street Railway was the central
feature and moved up late in the day
an extreme 37s on volume of dealings
very unusual for that stock. The net
gain was 2%. Many rumors circu-
lated to explain the movement, which
were in general agreement as to COM
ing issue of stock with subscription
rights to stockholders, but which va
ried greatly as to the use to be made
of the proceeds of the stock sale.
There was talk of a consolidation of
all New York public utilities, and of
a Capitalization of the production of
electric power for the benefit of all of
them.
The stock of other New York pub
lie utilities did not fully sympathize,
and reacted sharply at the last. Ad-
vances of points each in the Chicago
and Northwestern stocks and 3A in
Lackawanna were accompanied by
rumors of a coming distribution of
scrip. Sugar and Peoples Gas gained
nearly a point at one time. This ex-
hausts the list of advances worthy of
mention.
The rain and snow in the winter
wheat belt, and the promised benefit
to the crop were used by the. traders
as arguments for advancing railroad
stocks. Money was easier, and the
large subscription reported in New
York for the German Imperial loan
argued an abundance of local re-
sources, although the disposition to
turn to foreign securities while the
local market was so neglected was
taken to indicate tendency not alto
gether favorable. There was recently
some speculation in Erie shares based
on the assumption that the dividend
on the first preferred was to be adj
vanced to 4 per cent, but the con-
viction has been general for some
weeks that the three per cent. rate
would not be changed as proved to
be the case to-day, with little effect
on the stocks.
