TRAFFIC ON FLEET STREET,
 LONDON.

It has been custOmary for a num- Der of years to take a census of the traffic for a single day upon some principal London thoroughfares. The same day of the month has been SC lccted as nearly as possible from year to year. SD that the enumeration might be made under approximately similar conditions.
 One street chosen for the census is Fleet street. a very important thor ouehfare extending from one end of the Strand to Ludgate Circus. It is a convenient and direct route to the city proper and is traversed by sev- cral lines of omnibuseS. The strik- ing feature of the census on Fleet street (and this would be true in greater or lesser measure of all the other London streets) during the last five years has been the rapid dis placement of hOrse-drawn vehicles.
 The traffic of Fleet street was taken for twelve hours, from s a. m. to s D. m. on April 19, 1911, and compared to the same period and day in 1907. on April g. 1907. 414& horse cabs and omnibUscs passed along Fleet street and only 10f3 motor cabs and ompibuscs. while on April 19 1911, there were 43O0 motor cabs and omnibusos against 4S6 horse cabs and omnibuses. on the day that the cen Sus was taken this year strike was threatened by the taxicab drivers. so that the number of hansoms in use was in all probability. much in ex- cess Df the daily average
 On the 1907 census day there were only forty eight taXicabs. against 1902 horse cabs; but on April 19 1911. the number of horse cabs was reduced to S91 and the number of taxicabs in creased 10 1916.
 The siXty-two motor vans passing on Fleet street on April 19, 1911. was an increase of 1O6.66 per cent over the number in use on the correspond ing day in 1909 and nearly 3S per cent over the number on the April day selected for 1910. The increasing use of motor vans is urged in London because of the great delay that is now Occasioned to motor traffic by the procession of heavy horse drawn wide drays proceeding slowly along l the principal business streets. many of which are very narrow and easily blocked
 The total motor traffic on Fleet street more than Quadrupled in the four years. On the April day in 1907. 1126 vehicles passed: in 1908. 2O73: in l 1909. 2392: in 1910. 3SS4. and in 1911. | 4fS1.-COnsular Report

And SO we have breeds of cattle fol-

MS machines for the conversion OF raw

the dual purpose COW, by which term

There are many who are to be found

Of the entire structure. This is true
of all kinds of lumber and the Judging

qualities and characteristics which are

the different woods used in silo con.

alive merits according to the opinion
of the writer's Their cost is SO vari-
able for different localities that it 10
not considered here.
Kinds of Wood Used In SiIo Con.
struction.
(a) Redwood is one of the conf
fers which is generally accepted as
having the best lasting qualities Of
any wood used in silo construction.
Redwood trees are very large and
the lumber uniform. In buying red
wood silos, very good grade of prac-
tically clear and full length slaves
may be secured. The shrinkage and
swelling due to moisture is less than
in other woods. This is quite an adj
vantage on account of the shrinkage
that occurs when the silo is empty. A
stave silo built Of this material eleven
years ago was recently examined
carefully. Every stave was gone over
with a knife and not soft spot was
found anywhere. This examination
was especially critical near the foun,
dalton. Redwood is the wood princi'
pally used for conduits,
(b) Cypress being quite similar in
quality and characteristics to whue
cedar is well adapted to the construc
ton of silos. Only clear or good
sound knotted stock should be used
More cypress than any other kind OF
wood is used for water tanks in the
middle west.
Co Oregon fir is an excellent wood
for stave silos as it can be secured in
full length slaves and is quite clear
and uniform. With reasonable care
and foundation high enough to raise
it above moisture, silo with fiji
slaves should last for long term oil
years.
ca Tamarack or larch is very sim
liar to the best hard pine but where
equal grades of each are obtainable II
is slightly preferable on account Of
it's greater durability.
(e) White pine, if free from loose
or large knots, makes very good
silo. The slaves cannot usually be
obtained in full length slaves for 8
desirable height of silo.
f) Long leaf yellow or hard pine is
the strongest and stiffest of all pines
and if choice grade is secured, II
makes very good silo at reasonable
price. 1t shrinks little more thar
the woods previously mentioned, bu
the hoops of any stave silo should b.
frightened when the silo is empty.

construction is given in Bulletin 100 o

trade has been for cuts of beef that
are taken from over the back and the
loin and the other parts mentioned, be-
cause the beef found in these regions
is more suitable to the taste, richer
in its flavor, more tender, better
grained and, in fact, more to be de-
sired than is the meat which is found
in the neck, brisket, plates and In
those portions considered the cheaper
part of the animal. Because Of the de-
mand, the better parts of the animal
have demanded higher price and.
consequently, the animal which is
most greatly developed in these high
priced cuts Is the more valuable ami.
NAL, and because Of the fact that like
begets like or a likeness thereof. it has
been necessary to breed animals the
likeness of which would be well devel-
oped in these qualities. This is the de-
mand that has caused the breeder Of
beef cattle to produce an animal that
would convert every possible portion
of its feed into beef and fat and lay it
over the top Of the back, the ribs, etc.
During this process of breeding up, he
has paid very little attention to milk
production, probably due to the fact
that it is a most difficult thing TO pro-
duce an animal which has the power

Of converting a given amount OF reed
into two things at the same time. The
aim of the breeder of beef cattle has
been to produce beef and he has done
so at the expense of the milk-giving
functions of the animal in his charge.
The Beef Breeders Accomplishments.
The wonderful results that have
been accomplished by these breeders
of beef cattle are not to be belittled, be.
cause they have produced wonderful
work. They have produced an animal
that is capable of making two pounds
of valuable beef where one pound or
less was to be found in the animals of
the past. They have made wonderful
Improvement in beef production and
today we find In the beef breeds, steers
that, although they are not capable of
making any more gain out of bushel
of corn than is a Jersey or Holstein
steer. still they have the ability of con-
verting their TODD into high-priced beef
rather than into cheap tallow, as is the
case with the majority of the dairy
bred steers. But 1t would be the height
of folly to say to the feeder of beef
cattle that he should use upon his
farms dairy cows because, besides sup
plying calf that would be worth one
half as much as the beef calf, he could
produce twice as much milk and but
ter-fat as though he kept a beef COW
He would be very sadly surprised when
the time came to market his steers If
he found that he had made no profit
from them, and this surprise would
probably be just as great and just as
keen disappointment as the disap-
pointment which the dairyman finds
after he has produced aud nut beef cat

There Ia no doubt whatever put
that the stave silo is thoroughly es-
tablished success. The measure OF
success depends largely, however, upon
the method of construction, material
used, and care that is taken OF tic
silo. If properly constructed, the stave
silo Incorporates nearly all of the es'
sentials of silo construction previous
~ discussed. II slaves are OF high
grade material, well tongued and
grooved and the hoops kept tight, the
walls are necessarily tight and the
doors are fully as tight as in any other
type of silo In addition, the walls
are smooth and rigid. The doors arc
as convenient as in any other sllo.
and of course, any discussion of foun'
dation, floor and roof applies equally
we'll to the stave silo as to any other.
The lasting qualities OF stave silos
have been discussed to a great ex'
tent without any definite conclusion
being reached. 1t is stated by some
that the life of stave silo is but five
wears while others claim they viii!
last indefinitely. The reasons for this
seem to be that the life OF stave sllo
varies from less than five years to. in
some instances, more than twenty-five
years, depending upon the quality OF
the material used in the silo and the
care given it. A redwood silo filled
eleven times was found in excellent
Gin n1W
cayed spot. A white pine, homemade
silo erected in 1894 was visited and
found to be giving good service. 1t
was apparently good for number OF
years yet. Another white pine silo
was found very seriously decayed i'll
side while it was in fair state OF
preservation outside. A northern pine
silo four years old, was found in poor
condition with the lower ends OF the
stayes badly rotted even though
placed on a good high foundation.
In caring for silO, care should be
taken to keep it well painted outside
Most manufacturers advise that White
lead be placed in the joints when the
silo is erected and that inside OF the
slaves be painted with sCane form Of
wood preventative.
All stave silos outside of barns ever
when secured by guy wires are more
or less at the mercy of wind anc
weather. II there are any imperfec
tons in the lumber they are quite
likely to develop, and If there Is any
tendency on the part OF the slaves tt
warp they will be sprung out OF shape
This is perfectly true OF silos will

plorably true of silos with plalr

In the purchase of s,ave silo, thu
selection of the kind and grade o

Perhaps there is no better explana-
ton of why one breed of COWS is better
for milk production than the other,
than to look into the history of them
as breeds. In doing this we find how
they were produced and why. we
find, for instance, that the beef animal
has been bred in her native country ny
breeders who were past masters IN the
art of breeding. For hundreds OF
years they have devoted their efforts
along the line of producing an animal
which would convert the very greatest
possible amount of food consumed, into
beef and fat to deposit over the back
and loin and rump, over the ribs and
down deep in the twist. They have
striven to breed such an animal be-
cause there has been demand for
Just such an animal and this demand
has sprung from the consumer OF beef
uo through the retail clerk in the meat
market, through the jobber and on to
the packer and from him through his
buyers to the commission men and on
down through the feeders OF steers to
the breeders of beef cattle. In the
