News from San Francisco of the
awful disaster that has overtaken
the largest city on the Pacific coast
increases in horror. The awful
earthquake which shook this beauti-
full city of the west, the fire which
followed has caused a disaster which
is estimated in the neighborhood OF
sixty millions. Just how many lives
lost or how much property is destroy.
ed will not be known for days, but, it
is safe to say that it is the greatest
disaster that has ever stricken an
American city. The whole world
shudders at the immensely of the
devastation and grieves with the
residents of the stricken city over
its destruction.

BEEF CATTLE

The experiment of feeding steers
twice or three times day was made
by the MeSsrs. Hornets, says j. w.
Ingham in American Cultivator. Two
lots of steers Of the same breed, the
same age and weight and, so far as
could be seen, in the same healthy con-
dition were put up at the same time
and fed the same amount of hay and
grain Of the same kind each day, but
the one lot received it's quota divided
into three feeds per day, the other into
two Both lots received as much food
as they would eat UP clean.
When well fattened the steers were
sold and weighed the same day. There
was not much difference in their
weights and appearance, but all the
steers that had but two feeds per day
outWeighed the others which had three
Shelter For Fattening Steers
As long ago as the fall OF 1902 there
was planned a series Of experiments at
the Pennsylvania experiment station by
Professor Z. j. NIairs to test the com
parative merits of indoor and outdoor
feeding for fattening steers, says
American AgricuIturist. These exDer-
iments have now extended through
three seasons upon practically the same
plan.
From records kept during these ez-
periments it appears that the temper
allure has very little to Go with the
gains The large gains were made
quite as often during the colder peri
obs as during the warmer ones. In
many. cases it seems that the cold acts
as a stimulant which results in greater
gains Even the steers outside some
times made their largest gains during
the coolest weather. The Indications
are that it is much more important to
keep steers dry than to keep them
warm and that whatever advantage
barn feeding may possess over outside
feeding results not from the warmer
but from the drier quarters.
The Hardy Highland Cattle.
The Highlander may justly be termed
the champion "rustIer'' of the cattle
kingdom. 1t is said he can pick up
living under conditions where other
cattle would starve, and he literally
carries his roof on his shaggy back.
Altogether he should be rated a prom
inent example in his line of the useful
and ornamental combined, as he is adj
mittedly the most picturesque of the
domestic animals and at the same time
profitable to handle commercially in
the right localities because of his hardy
nature
1t will be gathered from the forego-
ing that the foremost characteristic of
the Highland breed is it's hardness,
and it deserves attention on this score
alone. When, in addition, it is claimed
that these cattle produce beef of the
choicest quality it will be apparent that
they may be of much economic value
in those parts Of the country which are
in any way similar to their native en-
vironment Such localities no doubt
exist in some Of our northern states

HANDLING BALKY HORSES.

Break Bad Habits.
Concerning balky horses a CORE
spondent Of Rural New Yorker says:
have had some experience with al
most all kinds of horses, and balky
horse l find the most provoking
have ever had in my possession.
Horses are so different in disposition
that it takes good horseman to I'M
derstand just how to handle each ami
NAL. In my experience l find that the
balky horse has been spoiled by a
poor driver or by some one who did
not understand how to handle that
kind of animal, which is usually of a
contrary nature. Like some men. they
want their own way or no way at all.
| find it best to study the disposition
Of the horse, and if l see that he is a
naturally contrary animal l try all the
kindness possible and never lose my
own temper. A good sound thrashing
will do sometimes, but with a natural
~ contrary horse l seldom use a whip,
only to straighten him up, and then
more in the stable than when he is
hitched
When you want him to stand over,
tell him so with a firm "Get over;" not
a YELL but so he will know what
you mean, or to back up in the stall.
Use him firmly SO he will know that
you mean what you say, and do not
say too much. / use a good blacksnake
whip because l can handle it the best.
If l cannot make him do what
want him to after several days train
ing, | take him on a good sod field
plenty Of rOOm-tie up his left front
foot firmly with a good strap so that
the foot is up to the body; then l put
a good strap on the right foot Just
above the hOof and over his back; then
I take a firm hold of the strap with the
right hand and at the bit with the left
hand, and | tell him to get up, and as
he does SO / pull UP the foot; down he
goes on both knees. Then is your time
to stay by him. Don't let go. He will
go down on his side if you stay by
him long enough. Then get on his head
quick and keep him there till lie viii

again till you are sure he is under
your control; then if you hitch him

whip if possible, and in time with
good firm usage you have a good horse.
The man who tries to break a baIky

horse sense that he can find in his top
knot, then he determined to break the
horse or break himself Of his bad hab-

MIX md OtlmenI For Hogs.

Where no skim milk is available for
fattening pigs shorts and oilmeal make
a good substitute, and this is as cheap
a mixture as can be got, and the cost
OF producing a pound Of pork outside
where no shelter is provided is nearly
double the cost Of producing it inside,
and protection is essential for the pro
duction Of cheap pork. Such are the
conclusions arrived at by the central
experiment farm at Ottawa, where a

meat, or bacon production, was carried
