black color is no longer characteristic
of the breed. Its representatives now
are mostly bay or brown, and they
are less coarse and sluggish than was
formerly the case. Many Shires of
very poor quality were imported into
the United States in the early days
of the business. Later on better quail

Saving and Using Manure.

We do very little milking and do
not tie or stanchion our cattle. Our
manure is made mostly in sheds or
barns. we having two barns for hay
and stock; the hay is in the center
and stock at Ike sides. We bed these
cattle sheds heavily all winter, which
is necessary where hogs work over
the manure.
If the winter Is severe or stormy the
sheds fill fast and we are compelled
to hitch to the spreader and clean
them out, hauling direct to the fields.
usually cornstalks. This is usually
done in February before the ground
breaks up.
With a mild winter, the cattle are
out more and then the manure is
made alongside the high board fence,
where we have hangers and bed
heavily. The manure made here is
hauled before plowing for corn II the
springs work will permit of it. The
manure made in the sheds and not
hauled before the cattle are turned to
grass is allowed to remain until fall,
and is usually spread on grass land.
We do not make any calculations on
saving liquid manure. OF course all
liquids left in the sheds are saved.
We use plenty of bedding, not so much
as to make the manure all straw. how
ever. We do no composing. We
have used a manure spreader three
seasons and like 1t. for many reasons.

and the bull ran around the other

while the bull was hemmed in behind
the stack she had time to get over
the fence into a yard and escape.
When the bull realized what had hap
pened he became almost frantic and
amused himself by hooking about n
ton of straw from the stack. He
then elevated his head and tail in
the air and ran around the field at a

The Bone Of the Horse.

Few realize the great difference in
the quality of the bones of horses.
The bones in the legs of some horses
ere compact, almost like steel. The
bones in the legs of other horses are
very porous and can sustain great
weight, but are not able to stand the
stain that comes on the more com
pact bone. The Arabian horses are
noted for the strength of bone found
in their legs. Those bones seem in
some cases to be almost as hard as
steel. They enable the Arabian horse
to cover vast stretches of territory in
short time. Every leap is great
strain on the bones of the ankles and
feet, especially when the horse has a
rider on his back and is clearing OBJ
stacles at every bound. The horse
built for speed must have the compact
steel-like bone found in the Arabian,
as that kind of a bone gives great
strength with little weight. This ac-
counts for the speed of the Arabian.

Catering to the Mexican Trade.
The business of supplying cattle
for the Mexican trade has been our
business for about twenty years past,
and in that time a man should get
himself established. We saw our first
Brown Swiss there, and learn to judge
them as they are valued there. Our
herd was established in 1890, some
times numbering over 100 head. Right
now 1 think we have only 20 or rs.
We raise all the good calves we can,
and buy on the outside when we find
cattle of sufficient quality at prices
we care to pay. These cattle have to
be prepared before we can ship them.
This takes anywhere from six months
TO two years time, feed and care. we
do not ship in the fever sections. but
go to higher attitudes where it Is
cooler. We never unload our cars in
Texas. but go whizzing through. Our
SWISS are used for milk, beef and
work. They make hardy, strong. dur
able oxen with which the land is
TILED. We find them splendid mixers
and making good beef. They are also
rapid growers responding promptly to
good feed and treatment. We often
have them weigh 1000 pounds at one
year of age.
The Mexican trade is not what 1t
once was. There have been many cat
tie imported there direct from Swift
zerland, so they are much more plen-
uful than they used to be. The cost
OF transportation used to be about $50
per head, but now 1t is less, say about
$40. Then one has to pay per cent
commission for sale, besides feed and
stable bill. Sometimes one can sell
for cash, but often 1t is on time. The
prices vary according to quality and
age. When l get s125 net for my

them go. This is about $500 Mexican
money. However, we sometimes sell

However, we ship five Holsteins to

the dairies, not for the farmers and
work, but for milk only. Quantity,

only ship springers and want them to
drop calves inside a month from ar

Cement floors have not been very

the cement floor is that 1t is clean.
