Tlio Animal Tlmt Cnttlnnen Will rinil Most Profitable. Undoubtodly tho most marked chant;o in tho handling of beef CAttlo during tho past few years lias boon tho system, now in vogn and rapidly incroasing, of finishing off u steer for tho block before ho has turned 2 years old. Great :redit must bo given to tho fat stock mows for having educated the rank unC file of our feeders up to this ioint. Our surplus has to faeo tho fiorco fire of competition from all parts of the globo. In tho southern part of this continent nro vast hord3 of cattle whoo owners havo to And a market for their overflow. In Australia tho cry is echoed across tho sen of too much beef and mutton. Even in some of tho European countries thcro is meat for oxport. For years past our safety has lain in a virgin soil, a generous climate nnd cheap transportation, but tho improvements in stoamship3 ia bridging vast distances, and tho era of fiercer competition looms up in tho distance. Wo inusf bo up and doing. Yon cannot reduco tho cost of beef production as if it wero wheat, by cheaper machinery and improved methods of handling. You can of course help it in this way, but tho only truo system is to improve tho breed and handle it more judiciously. Improvement of blood comes largoly from capital, but it takes skill, scienco and practical experience added to tho abovo to produce first class beef in half tho tinio required somo years ago, oven provided you havo tho mnterial to work upon. To obtain this end an animal must be fed from its infancy. It must nover bo allowed to retrograde Wo do not say it should be crowded right along, but tho growth must bo steadily onward, and toward tho end tho pressure must bo greater. Tho profitable timo to fell a bullock just now is when it has reached 1,230 to 1,800 pounds, live weight, and that weight should bo reached before 2 yeare old with averago feeding. Whore one buyer will look at a big, fat 1,500-pound bullock you havo three or four custom ers for tho lighter weight. Tho producer should cater to the consumer's taste. In doing so ho helps himself at tho samo time. In this mundane sphcro tho reward of skill and science generally comes in the shape of dollars. Livo Stock Ro-port. Cheviot Sliocp. Theso aro tho sheep from which tho Scotch cheviot wool fabrics now so fashionablo nro made, Tho sheep themselves aro natives of tho Cheviot hills, botween England and Scotland. They produco an avorago of livo pounds of wool. For either n wool or a mutton sheep tho Cheviot is highly prized. Henry Stewart says that when fed on 'sweet, dry herbage" tho mutton is most choice. This dry herbage is found CIinVIOT 1UM. in all our western states, nnd it looks as if tho Cheviot would bo particularly adapted to that part of the country. At any rate a more general trial of tho breed ought to be made by those who have timo and can afford it. Wo havo an American Merino. Wo might perhaps also in tho courso of a fow years get an American Cheviot as famous. The Cheviot sheep is hornless, which is in its favor. Tho face is considerably Roman nosed. Tho legs and faco aro white, occasionally siotted with dun. Stewart says of theso sheep in their land, "Thoy fatten quickly on turnips after pasture, without grain, nnd make a dressed weight of eighty pounds at !$ years old." The ewes in Great Britain aro cross bred with mutton rams to produco lambs for market. Wo would like to seo this tried in America moro generally, as tho Cheviot owe is an excellent mother. Tho Cheviot is one of the hardiest breeds of sheep known. Anthrax in Dclawurc. An important meeting of tho farmers of Now Castlo county was held to consider measures for stumping out an outbreak of anthrax, a fatal contagious disease among the cattlo of this vicinity. Tho meeting was attended by about 200 of the most substantial farmers of the county. It is reported that twenty-three cows and three horses havo died of tho diseaso within a radius of two miles of Newport within n month. Tho meeting was addressed by Dr. Leonard Pennon, of tho University of Pennsylvania, and Dr. II. P. Eves, of Wilmington, professor of veterinary surgery at Delaware college. Dr. Pearson explained that tho early symptoms of tho disease were similar to sunstroke, it was almost always fatal in its results; and that the bacilli of tho disease propagated with extraordinary rapidity and wero extremely hard to destroy, tho only sure way to get rid of them being by fire. Dr. Eves, who has mado post mortem examinations of several anthrax carcasses, agreed with Dr. Pearson as to symptoms, and said that there was no remedy he could recommend except the extermination of animals affected by tho disease and the destruction of the carcasses by firo or deep burial, tho grave to lx not less than livo feet from the level of the ground. Tho meeting appointed a committee to securo needed legislation for tho official extermination of affected cattlo and tVie remuneration of their owners. Philadelphia Ledger. MUTTON SHEEP." IRmeeB flfWgyyt" 'waifwyiqpilp pwvjf .rf m V IIo runcturca Bomo Fnlry Tnles. And Ilia la 1'lain. Threo yenrs ago I bred my Merino owes to n "scrub" coarse wooled ram. Tho result was a lot of very good lamb, which fattened well and brought a Rood price when sold in July. Next year I purchased a thoroughbred Shrophiro ram. His get was a mnrked improvement over the others, yet when placed on tho market they brought but little moro than tho scrubs. Tho improvement was sufficient to justify mo in buying n high priced ram, but it would nowhere compare with that which tin keepers of stud flocks claim to result therefrom. The enormous carcasses and prices which S. II. Todd and others get for winter foil, half blood Shrops. from "old brokeu down Aierino owes," induced mo to try winter feeding: eighty pounds being tho avorago woight and six cents the price, $1.80 was tho amount roalized per hoad at ten month old This was far below Todd's sJT.fiO and $3 per head. Last year 1 purchased fifty grade ewes and another Shropshire ram. I was disappointed in getting tho ram at tho time 1 wished to turn in, nnd the lambs did not begin to como until April 14. Front' tho statements of iinny breeders 1 had every leason to oxpect lambs from tho fifty ewes It was a eoro disappointment when they dropped but fourteen pairs of twins Threo ewes wero barren, leaving me only sixty-one lambs dropped, livo of which died. But this is not tho worst. When tho hot weather camo the lambs did no good. Paperskin got among them, and in spito of nil the remedies 1 tried more than one-half of them died and the others wero not fit for market. The ewes averaged ! pouuds of wool nt thirty cents, making $1.85 for wool. I havo tho surviving twenty-four limilw. worth obout $2.50 per head. So $2.5." is the amount realized por head from the owes, whilo fifty Merino wothors paid mo .$2.50 in wool, and thoro was no money laid out for ram and extra care in lambing season, such as is iiucesoary with owes. Although I nm sick of mutton sheep I shall give them another trial. 1 bred my grndo ewes and twenty half bloods of my own raising to lamb in Februnry. 1 had n few lambs to como in February last year. Thoy paid mo much better than tho April lamb?, but pounds whon sixty-two days old was the best I could do. I oxect to bo nioie successful this year, but I havo learned not to expect such crops of lambs and enormous weights as boasted of by so many breedors. When C. Hills tells of blood Shropshire being mistaken for imported ewon. and of a friend of his who bred common owos to rams and sold tho lambs at fo'ir mouths old for fourteen dollars a head I become skeptical. Nearly all tho Shropshire men claim an aventgo of from eight to of wool from their entire flock.' 1 do not wish to their word, but everything in my experience tends to make mo doubt their statements. My rams shear a, (Pj and 7 pounds respectively. My half bloods wero from heavy shearing Merino owes, nnd nveraged 5j .sounds only, nnd ioor quality at that. I havo seen several stud Hocks, examined many sheep nt fairs, and think, so far as wool is concerned, my sheep uro fully up with tho averago. This one sided representation by thoroughbred stockmen, tho telling of everything good, and the secret guarding of every loss, is often tho cause of men investing in such stock with expectations far licyund that which they can ever realize. Is it any wonder they find n ready salo for their stock at prices far beyond its real value when their articles nover tell of tho sheep thoy lose, tho lambs that die, or tho old ewes which do not produce enough wool to keep the sun from blistering their rJcin, or tho scalawag lambs they send to tho shambles so that they may keep their flocks from degenerating? The iolitical liar is condemned in no uncertain terms, yet tho thoroughbred stock raisers aro allowed to go on from year to year "gulling" tho unwary by their system of misrepresentutiwi, and if any one is so bold ns to raise their voico against them ho brings down upon himself a pandemonium of howls and jeers, and is reminded that ho is still in tho old ruts and "does not read tho papers." No one can welcomoimproved methods moro than I, both in breeding and care of stock, but 1 think too much importance is placed upon tho thoroughbred. It is all right to begin well if you can afford it, but if fanners would do their own thinking xterhnps they would learn that tho trumped up thoroughbred, when placed on their farms and receiving tho indifferent euro and miscellaneous breeding which their present flocks get, would in a fow years bo less desirable stock than that of which they took tho place, and probably they would learn that tho present system of caring for thoroughbreds if applied to their common breeds would bo less oxponsivo and moro satisfactory than tho establishment of now flocks at exorbitant prices. Cor. Ohio Farmer. Live Stock I'olnta. Eggs for hatching should not bo moro than a week old. Beyond this there is danger of tho germ dying. Dry leaves may bo used to great advantage for bedding. Thoy aro both comfortablo and absorbing. About this timo of year sow some rye for winter pasture for tho lambs. In the spring it will likewise bo a grateful bito of green for tho animals that have been on dry feed. After that you can plow it under if you like. In casting about in your mind as to what you aro going to do about fattening your hogs this fall, remembor that they should bo disposed of as soon as thoy aro fat. Keeping thorn a day beyond that is a loss. Pigs dropped in February or March can be mado ready for the fall killing. Make preparations for these pigs now, a year ahead. lilt Definition.
