STOCK ECONOMICS. The Wisconsin experiment station has been crossing- a Shropshire ram on Merino ewes with good fleece re sults. The clip is almost as fine as that from the pure old Merino, and in every way superior to the Shropshire. The second cross gives a strong-, bright and long wool of good quality. At the same time the carcass is vastly superior to the Merino for mutton. Salt, sulphur and spirits of turpen tine is recommended for sheep troubled with internal parasites. The small hog is crowding- out the heavy lard hog in the western states. The bacon hog is the profitable animal for the grower. Small hams and shoulders meet with readiest sale. The "Horse Breeder" has this to say in favor of the trotters: The breeder of trotters has a great advantage in one sense over the race-horse breeder. The horse he breeds that cannot race can be put to use in road driving or in other occupations, and thus a market is provided that repays the cost of pro duction. On the other hand the race horse breeder or owner can find no market for his culls, for they can fill no usefitl place. The department of agriculture con siders the grass question one of great importance to the people of the United States. So great, indeed, as to lead to the appointment of an agrostologist who is to devote his entire time to the study of grasses. He will make a thorough investigation of all the wild grasses of the country, to see if from the list some varieties may be suited for propagation by the farmers of the country. The grass crop of the Unit ed States — and pasture—is es timated at nearly $1,000,000,000 annu ally. Send your Fruit and Produce to KITTITAS & YAKIMA COMMISSION COMPANY. J. B. B'OGAHTY, President, W.
