Some of them are throwing over their -stcKat much sacrifice. Incaluiable . damage has ben doje the' ntire: moYeanejit which makes for beef cattle Improve men!; in tnis ' ?. -r"-; Causes are plain, Aseyere and wide spread drouth, tne disastrous, effect of which few people appreciate to its full measure, is' the chief cause. The long-continued high price of corn and other grains cpntributes a ma. tenal factor; the panic with its con- sepuent slackening of the wheels of commerce and lessening rof consump tive capacity, nd. the fall in price of market cattle following .the indusrial paralysis, all contributed elements which have affected 'ujjfa"vorably the business of the pedigree cattle breeder. A lightening of the ballast of the ship ha& resulted. We have pleaded with breeders jigainst need less scniflce, but at such times all appeals fall on uull ears. But even the blindest muset see a great light in tne facts and figures now available. A iniishty nation, sud denly stayed In its onrushing upbuild ing that was watched by tne world Tith wonder, has incontestably be gun again to gather impulse. Like a huge grayhound of the sea, which strikes its iron prow, against a rock, and with reversedSnS11168 reels un der the shock, but is quickly pulled off unscathed and trembles again un der the forward movement, so, indus trial America has survived the shock of its financial, distress and bounds forward to material develop, meat, interrupted but.

The figures of the market place show1 that during the oast ten months ) there has been a shortage of nearly 1.000,000 cattle at the large markets of primary receipts. If demand - bad been ormai only the imagination could have set limit t tne Pr10 bef. Liquidation has proceeded for more than two years from rajjge and farm, until we stand face to face with a shortage ef such vast volume as to occasion seemingly wild predictions of future prices of beef. Stock yards trade does not hesitate to talk 9 cent caftle and 10.cent cattle during he next six months.

The public salea thisTyeaf lave had more life to them- and m.ore real business than has been the case for several, years; j while the prices have aof been high, they are on a cash basis and the cash hag accompanied the bidsIt ias enabled more people in the business to square up their bills, to meet their ordinary expense than has ben the case j in three or four years. This hag been more sat isfactory where the actual . cash was paid for the animals, as every man knew where he was at, and what he could depend upon. High prices and notes , may look well on paper, but they were nt practical nor profitable. When you lift the price the hog up out of the reach of the farmer you are inviting trouble on your hands. The office and purpose of a breede is to improve the hog, for the feeder and farmer, then if he does this and puts the -price out of the reach of the farmer, it brings about a condl. tion of affairs that is underslable ?s well as unprofitable. . The sales this winter have been the means of cleaning up and straigh tening, out and getting- men on to a cash basis that is most satisfactory all around. Therer is every encourage ment for the breeders t xlf PMSi;nt time, as the pri3 are likelv to bo reasonable andj remain on 'a cash bas is, as It satisfies nit cor.etned. ?aer:" irt them dry an"d then, clip the limbs up as high - as -.he disease ex tends.

Why it it that invention, which has lent a willing hand to make the work of outdoor farming easier, has been so little utilized in relieving tne farmer's family of household drudg ery? The back-breaking work of bind ing grain by hand has been a distant memory since the self-binder has done the task automatically. Does the farmer reflect, that the- work at the wash-tub is quite as hard for the tired housewife as the field work used to be for him? Wky is it that only, about one farmer's wife in ten has a modern washing machine? Does It often ' occur to our men readers that no work about the house is more puttering than the care of and endless chain of milk pans which miPi. b instatlv eliminated if a o-t 1.x cream separator were used instead? Why is it that only about one farm home in fifty has a separator? Another task which, oh the average farm, us ually falls, to the woman is the care of r fowls and the raising of poultry.

' CHAS. JOHNSON. A poultry keeper who has made a success of poultry tells us that 90 per cent, of the food he gives his fowls is whole oats. He says that he gives other grtiin occasionally as a change, but that the regular daily iet is composed Of whole oats, scattered in the straw, so that tbe fowls will have, to scratch. He sows oats in the fail and at in tervals in the spring, so that the fowls will have green food,, and when convenient he allows the oats to head out so that the hens? may gather the srain in the field. ;. He says there "Is no other, graia that produces as many eggs and be enthusiastically says that tte V heh keep more vigorous on a diet of oats than on any other ration.
