Poor Cattle Impose on mexicans.


Reports from Mexico indicate that
some live stock dealers there are
working a confidence game on the
badly informed natives and are selling
them poor American cattle at high
prices. Some Mexicans y enterpris-
ing enough to C e to this
country and buy their own breeding
cattle Such men get the best there
is and are satisfied, though they have
to pay good prices for everything in
the breeding line. But the Mexicans
that order American cattle through
native or resident dealers get some
very poor stuff. This has been the
case to an extent that threatens to In
jure the sale of breeding bulls from
this country. The Mexicans pay for
first-class animals, but get scrubs. One
result is seen IN the turning OF the
Mexican buyers to the Brown SWISS
cattle. Switzerland does not permit
cattle to he exported without Ger
tificate showing Dreeullg and so forth.
Thus no animals Of inierior quality
have so far gone to Mexico from Switz
erland and the confidence of the Mex.
leans has been won for the Brown
Swiss. The United States has had
number of lessons of this kind. Prob
ably after the Swiss have taken ali

A report Of the Nebraska station
relative to the composition OF feeding
stuffs at different stages of growth
says: The conditions Of growth Of the
crops this season were about equally
favorable for each of them, and some
tentative conclusions may hence be
drawn from the result of this 19OOJ
seasons work. The mixed crop, oats
and peas, improves In composition as
1t grows older and should probably be
allowed to stand as long as the pea
vines will remain fairly erect. The
proportion of flesh forming to fat
forming constituents in the fodder ob.
tanned from this crop is very nearly
the correct one for a well-balanced ra-
tion for most classes OF animals, and
it would probably be found unneces.
sary to supplement this fodder with
grain or other foods.
Field corn, millet, sorghum and
Kafr corn decrease rapidly in protein
content while heading out. The per-
centage of crude fiber also decreases
somewhat. Both of these changes are
probably due to the rapid accumula
ton Of starch and sugars in the plant
juices at tnat time, as shown by the
increased proportion of nitrogen
extract. In order to obta|l a fodder
having as narrow a ratio OF fesh-form
ing foods as possible, the crop should
! be cut at as early stage as it can be
well cured. For roughage to be fed
in connection with highly nitrogenous
foods it may well be allowed to grow
until seeds are formed. After that
period, however, the stalks rapidly be-
come woody and the proportion OF
waste is greatly increased.
No very significant change in com
| position of the cowpeas is apparent.
| This years experience would seem to
| indicate that consideration OF chemical
| composition is of minor importance in
| the selection of the proper stage for
| harvesting this crop for fodder. AS
compared with the other folders
analyzed this year, this one is by far
the most desirable on account OF its
high proportion of nitrogenous ma
terial and small percentage of diff
Guilty digestible fiber.

Association of the United States will
meet tomorrow at 4:50 o'clock in the Of
fee of the president of the Association,
Mr.. T. NJ. Darlington. This will be the
first meeting of the Board, and it is
watched with considerable interest. The
organizatin of the Association will be
perfected. One new member of the Board
will be elected.
Nothing was heard yesterday by the
tobacco manufacturers from the members
of r.le National Tobacco Workers Union,
which has recently submitted a new
wage scale. asking that an answer be
given to-day. The manufacturers, it IS
learned, have submitted scale of their
own tc the workers, and are themselves
waiting for some reply. It is probable
that an extension of time will be granted.
Provided the weather is good there
will be some fine sales on the Richmond
breaks this week. The recent bad spell
has kept back a lot of tobacco which
is ready to come in on the first oppor-
tunity.

The prospects for real estate sales Tor
this week are only fair. The present bad

about the postponement of a number OF
sales that had been advertised.
The Home Building Company was to
have had last week another sale Of It's
holdings, but the weather was just so
unpropitious that it was decided to post
pone the offering until later.
Several sales are advertised for this
week, but no large patches of property
are among them.
Just now Manchester property is being
offered jointly by Richmond and Man
chester agents, also small plats in Hen
rico county by Richmond agents. A
prominent real estate man said yester-
day that rents were about the only thing
doing in real estate now. But good times
are believed to be ahead. March and
April are looked forward to as record
breaking.
