also the heifer calves were In splendid
form.
A common origin has been claimed
by some for the GalIoways and Angus
because Of their similar color, but If
such there be its effect has long been
lost owing to differences In climate,
management and standards Of breed
ing.
Galloways rank with the Angus In
size. In form the beef rectangle pre-
sents itself-broad, deep and symmet-
rical Possessed Of ample bone, very
hardy and an ideal hustler, the Gallo
way has endeared himself to. cattle
raisers in rigorous climates and high
attitudes. His coat is specially charac-
teristic, with a thick hide and a messy
coat of long, wavy hair-in fact, a sort
of double coat, close mat Of short
hair being found under the long one.
Black tinged With brown is the pre-
vailing color.
Like the Angus, Galloway bulls are
good dehorners and strongly prepotent,
from rs per cent to 80 per cent of their
calves from horned cows being without
horns. On the range and in the feed
lot Galloways are Of great value, and
their hides are made into robes of
great beauty.
The Galloways, both the bulls and
the females, met with a good demand
and averaged very satisfactorily in
prices at the public sales in connec-
tion with the show at Kansas City.

Good Care Of the Saddle.

A manufacturer of saddles is credit
ed with the statement that one of the
best Of poiishes for riding saddles and
brides is new milk. This should not
be rubbed in the leather, however, un-
til the latter has been cleaned with
slightly warm watei and soap. Hard
working stock saddles can be kept In
good condition by thoroughly rubbing
with three parts of palm oil and one
Of neatsfoot after first washing with
soap and water. For the leather lining
OF saddles that comes next to the
horse there is nothing SO good as
neatsfoot oil. X The salt which exudes
from the animals body is very hard
on the leather. Vigorous and protract-
ed rubbing of the leather is essential,

The Straw Stack That Pays.

The season of the year is fast ap-
preaching when bedding is an item CT
considerable Importance. Its. value is
twofold. In the first place, 1t makes
the stock comfortable and, in the Sec
ond place, it increases tho size Of the
manure pile. Both Of these deserve
consideration. do not believe that
bedding can be made to take the place
Of feeding, but II Is plainly evident
that the animal which is eomfortabl
is most profitable, and In 30 far as you
are able to increase profits, although
you will not Be abIe to reduce the feed
bill, economy IN bedding means using

has been ranked as dual purpose" !"
The consensus of opinion at present
appears to be that while, Brown Swiss
cattle viii make good beef their milk
production il the stronger. point and
capable of the greater development,
Although first brought to America
for dairy purposes. the appearance Of
the Brown Swiss in comparison with
the. highest dairy type did not give
them popular standing as straight
dairy cattle.
In Switzerland cows are kept for
treble purpose-milk, beef and labor.
Until recent years high pressure feed
ing has been unknown there, and the
methods used with cattle tended to de-
velop coarseness Of form. No such
radical change of character there or
here as will rank the Brown Swiss
with the highly attenuated dairy type,
such as the Jersey, appears either
probable or desirable But the coarse
ness of the Brown Swiss carries with
it sturdy vigor and health; also, in
spite of the popular impression that
this coarse form means scant milking
propensity, the Brown Swiss in this
country have won out large by their
performance at the milk pail. Breed
ers here and, as it appears, in Switzer-
land of late have been working for
finer, smoother appearance and in
creased milk production and are get
ting it.
Three herds of Brown Swiss, one
each from New York, Illinois and In
diana, were shown at the recent ma
tional dairy show. These included
some fine specimens, and the display
was Of great value to the progress of
the breed.
The Brown Swiss were introduced
into the United States in 1869. They
are of medium size and readily recog
nized by their color. This is a solid
brown, varying in shade from light to
dark and varying in intensity on diff
ferent parts Of the body, the head,
neck, legs and quarters being usually
the darker portions. The Characters
tic markings are a light, mealy ring
around the muzzle, light stripe across
the lips and up the sides of the nos
trils, light colored tuft Of hair on
the poll and light stripe down the
back from shoulder to tail head, with
black nose, tongue, switch and hoofs.
Professor Thomas Shaw, one of our
leading cattle authorities, Is credited
with the following opinion: Brown
Swiss cattle are pretty uniformly good
mixers. They have borne this char
acter for generations. They are also
good for beef production, but not quite
SO good relatively as for milk produc-
ton. They are Of good size and grow
quickly. The steers attain to good
weights, but the bone is little strong
for best results in beef making, and
yet for this purpose they answer bet
tar than any Of the straight dairy
breeds. On the continent Of Europe It
would probably be correct to say that
this breed Of cows Ia more popular
than any other"

Preparation Of Coarse Foods.

One Of the implements or machines
found In operation is, the corn shredder.
1t Is revolutionizing the use Of corn fod-
der, as it saves labor and prepares the
cornstalks for the use of stock. It re-
moves the cara from the husks and
tears the entire stalk into shreds at one
operation as rapidly as the stalks can
be fed into the machine. There are sew
eral kinds, but every farmer should
have one, as II will enable him to use
the leaves, husks and stalks as so
much hay, which can be baled II nee
essary. When fodder is thus prepared
tho cattle will not reject SO much as
usual, and the shredded fodder un-
eaten is suitable for bedding or as an
absorbent in the manure heap. The
saving in feed by the shredding of the
entire stalk VIII be an addition to the
profit of the farm and will also enable
the farmer to keep more stock.-Farm-
ers Advocate.

SWINE INTERESTS.
a Peint ln unloosins the Money Tied
up In ACattlen HOES.

n Point IN onioosin0 the Money Tied
Up In ~cattle" Hogs.
During the winter months, and, In
fact, during whichever months cattle
feeders confine their fattening cattle
to dry lots, many hogs are fattened
upon the undigested grain which ap-
pears In the droppings from the cattle.
Since corn Is the chief grain used
for fattening cattle, 1t follows that the
hogs which depend solely upon the
undigested grain in the steers drop
pings must be confined to a ration
made up almost exclusively of corn.
The Ohio experiment station has
been endeavoring to determine wheth-
er or not the prevailing practice can be
improved by supplying a feed compar-
Rtively rich in protein and ash to hogs
that follow fattening cattle. The re-
suits of Its work are striking. 1t
seems certain from the tests that
the gains made by tankage fed hogs
are cheaper as well as larger. Com
pairing cases alone with corn and sup
Elementary feeds rich in protein and
ash, it is found that the hogs fed corn
alone consumed less feed, made much
lower gains and required greater
number Of pounds Of food to produce
one pound gain than did the hogs
which received the supplementary feed
with the corn.
The gains made by hogs fed tankage
were more than one-hah greater than
the gains made by the hogs that de-
PENDED entirely upon the droppings
from the steers, decided increase
from the use Of a supplementary feed
rich In protein and ash.
A decided advantage in feeding tank
age is that fewer hogsywould be requir-
ed to consume the droppings from a
given number of. cattle and to produce
a given amount Of gain. and they would
be ready for market much quicker,
thus reducing the amount of money
tied up in hogs and permitting more
frequent turning Of the money.
