Wheat middlings, fed with the fall
pasture is a valuable ration for the
breeding ewes. The ewes should be
strong and thrifty at this season of the
year. and wheat middlings are rich in
ash and proteids, which are the food
stuffs necessary.
Much wool is now imported to the
United States, the home product not
being sufficient to meet the demand;
there is also good and increasing de-
mand for mutton. In England sheep
are fed to profit on land worth $500 per
acre.

| This cows dam had butter record OIL
twelve pounds week. The first Of
ferings were some nice young bulls,
which were returned to the barn.
Mr.. Pratt's remarks to the farmers
for their lack of appreciation by allow
ing such chances to slip their fingers
were pointed rather than flattering and
produced much merriment.
One fine Glocester bull calf, roam, 10
months old, sold to Mr.. John Oliver
for $125. Royal Prince typical all
red beef bull 10 months old, sold to
Thos. Ladner for $145. After recess
the animals at first returned to the
barn were offered for sale a second
time, because of profit having been
made on others these would be knock
ed down at any price till the surplus
was consumed. Thus a fine red bull
bred by John Gibson of Delaware,
Ont, dairy type, went for SIS, and
Mr.. Livingston, for 500, bought a red
bull from imported sire, Ii months old,
costing in Ontario $125 king Stan
ley" red, months old, cost S115; went
for $85.
1 got Mr.. Traps promise that his
sale would be advertised in Washing
ton next year as this sale is a regular
feature of the provincial.
Besides this carload, a number of
other fine stock were sold, several nice
Ayrshire COWS, fully recorded, ready
to calve, good individuals, sold at
prices ranging from $3.50 to $135. One
o fthese low priced cows was from a
dam who stood first in the milk test
at the noted Guelph fat stock show last
fall. Mr.. Vasey offered Durham bull
calf, whose dam gave As pounds of
milk in one day, at an upset price OF
$3.50, however, without success, only
to lead him off to private sale short
ly after. Sheep and hogs sold later on
at good figures, although there were
some fine bargains in pedigreed brood
sows. Doubtless the action of the GUS
ton house officers, regarding the i'm
portation of Mr.. Pages horses, my
bull and others serves as a deterrent to
our farmers from going to Canada for
fine stock; but l believe a proper in
vestigation of the rules would obviate
the annoyances of these servants
of the public from interfering with
their masters business interests.
The British government may exer-
else considerable paternalism, by thus
putting the means of obtaining wealth
in the most legitimate manner, within
reach of men in the humber CD
walks of life; but l say if that is pater
nalism, for Gods sake, boys, lets go
and get our share of it. After all this
"paternalism" is the result of the or
ganized effort of the Dairymen's Asso-
citation of British Columbia influencing
their representatives to do thus and so
in their behalf and is by no means a
charitable dole from their great King
Edward VII.
Yours for less common cattle and
more common sense in this our favored
country,

will bear fruit, for visit to the New
Westminster market on Friday morn
ing is certainly an inspiring sight.
At the fair grounds the auctioneer's
bell was soon heard and people began
to gather near the cattle sheds, where a
ring was formed. Mr.. Trap, the we'll
known auctioneer, said he would not
do much talking, as the stock he had
for sale spoke for themselves, but he
first wished to outline to strangers the
nature of the sale. AS | understand it
the British Columbia Dairyman's asso-
citation induced the government OF the
province to send good cattle buyer
down east to purchase carload OF
pure-bred breeding stock, upon the I'M
Outstanding that the cattle were to be
auctioned off to farmers at their own
price, and that no profits were to be
looked for. Four members of the as
ISOLATION guaranteed the government,
who advanced the money, that they
would make good any loss that might
occur between the purchase and sale
price of the cattle. The Canadian Pa
cific Railway, not only gave special
rate on the car up, but undertook to
carry any animal purchased at this sale
to it's ultimate destination for twenty
cents on the dollar of regular rates.
He could inform the farmers that the
cattle would have to bring the pur-
chase price or go back to the barn, as
Hon. ]. D. Prentice, minister OF agri-
culture for British Columbia, had Of
fered to pay that much and transporta-
ton costs for all he could get up to
the limit of the consignment. Excel
lent stock were led out without excep-
ton almost though in one or two cases
a couple of animals were purchased
from a breeder in order to obtain a
certain bull of very superior merit.
Most of the animals were directly from
stock imported from England, and
would register in the American book.
We were positively assured that the
government agent had met with great
courtesy from the eastern breeders,
who really assisted him as much as
possibly to bring home choice blood;
but cattle are cattle, and not only are
such bulls as were exposed for sale
here high in price and hard to find, but
fancy prices frequently obtained. Fan
cy prices, however, are paid for fancy
points, and that they often have but
slight relation to the intrinsic value OF
the animal depending many times up
on some rich mans craze, was en-
phasized by Mr.. Paisley, the buyer.
The government purchaser had sedul-
ously avoided these fancy points" Sc
lecting animals for their merits as
likely producers of cattle of economic
qualities, having descended from the
best known strains, from the best
known breeders in England, Scotland
and Ontario.
To illustrate: Reeve Ladner, of Lad
ner's Landing, bought very beauti-
full white two-year-old heifer from the
great bull Indian Chief" named Snow
flake. She was typical Scotch Short
horn, and was sold here for the trifiing
price of $3.50, because she had red
ears. White itself is no longer barred
by the moneyed men, but the color of
