A progreaaJre policy ta being pursued
by the American Shorthorn Breeders'
association to procure the extension of
tha market for oar Shorthorn cattle.
Last fall, it will be remembered, tlx
fleers of the society undertook a per
sonally conducted exportation of bulla
and heifers into Mexico, and, while
the financial results showed little or
o gain, fine lot of cattle were sold
to Influential breeders, whose example
la purchasing will doubtless be follow
ed by others.
Dnrtng the trip it waa borne in on
the officials that if the effort should
be followed op intelligently many more
Bhortborna could be sold sooth of the
Bio Grande, and to that end arrange
ments nave been completed for the
proper representation of the trade. L.
Vlliareal Madera, Ban Antonio, Tex,
bas been appointed agent of the asso
ciation and has been conducting nego
tiations with the Mexican officials.
It Is made plain that the officials of
the American Shorthorn association
made a most excellent more when tbey
Inraded Mexico with a lot of Short
horn cattle. They have secured the
active co-operation of the Mexican de-j
partment of agriculture and also of i
tha rations state departments, which
most in time succeed in opening up
fruitful demand for our cattle. It
work of this kind that counts.

raising and tbe production ofUne seed
corn is of interest. The bogs in win
ter are penned on about four acres of
clorer sod. During the winter tbe soil
of this pen or lot becomes more or
less paddled end is rather difficult to
bring into condition for a good seed
bed in spring. This can be accom
plished, bowerer, by continued stirring
and clod crushing. But this takes time
and necessitates late planting. Here
was a need for a crop that could be
planted in late spring or early summer
snd yet fit into tbe general farm
scheme. Several crops were tried, and
soy beans proved most to tbe owner's
satisfaction.
Ths Grain Ration.
A light grain ration is not the most
economical for growing pigs unless un
der peculiar circumstances, when al
falfa is abundant, grain very nigh in
price and market conditions warrant
holding the hogs. It seems probable
that two or more pounds of corn daily
tier each hundredweight of hogs is
more profitable than a lighter ration.
Tbe cost of gain is not a reliable cri
terion of profit. A cheap gain may
be so stow ss to be unprofitable. Time,
labor and investment should be con
sidered when reckoning profits. A full
grain ration, though making tbe gain
more costly, usually gives greater prof
its because of tbe larger amount of
business transacted in a given time
with a given number of bogs. W

Maat Inspection.
A commission of seven expert pa
thologists not members of tbe depart
ment of agriculture was up pointed dur
ing the year to advise regarding thane
portions of tbe meat regulations wblcb
deal with tbe disposal of diseased car
fosses. According to Secretary Wilson's
report, the general conclusion of the
commission waa that "if there be any
general error In tbe regulations this
la in favor of tbe public rather than
la favor of the bu tellers and packers."

Ahen It Imparts a Bad Odor or Flavor
to ths Milk,
The following observations on tbe
effect of feeding silage to dairy cows
have been published ly W. J. Fraser
of the. Illinois experiment station, wbo
said: Tbe dairy herd was divided into
two lots, one of which was fed forty
pounds of corn silage per cow daily,
while the other lot was fed only clover
hay and grain. The milk from each
lot was standardized to 4 per cent and
otherwise cared for in exactly tbe same
manner. Samples from each lot during
tbe course of the experlmenta were
submitted to 372 persons for an opln
Ion as to any difference In tbe flavor of
tbe two samples, anything objection
able about eltber and any preference,
Tbe results showed that CO per cent
preferred silage milk, 29 per cent non
silage milk, and 11 per cent had no
choice. When tbe silage was fed at
tbe time of milking, tbe percentage In
favor of silage milk was much higher
than when the silage was fed one hour
before milking or after milking. Five
samples of each lot were sent to inlJk
experts in different cities, three of
whom preferred silage mUk, one non
silage, and one bad no choice. No
complaint was received from a bote!
to wblcb silage milk was delivered for
a period of one month. On the whole.
It waa apparent that the greater num
ber of people were able to distinguish
between the two kinds of milk, but
found nothing objectionable about ei
ther kind.

Keeping Quality of Fruit Grown
Sod or Under Tillags.
Here Is a question, often asked
fruit growers' meetings, as answered
in part bj H. W. C. In Bural New
Yorker: "Is it true that apples grown
In sod bare better keeping quality than
those grown under tillage?"
No one seems to say yes or no with
out qualification. My own experience
Indicates tbat the cultivated apples are
larger, lighter In color and less firm
than those grown In sod. My sod fruit
will certainly average smaller and con
slderably higher In color. Our only
keeping test Is tbat of putting all to
gether in an ordinary cellar, as we sell
most of our fruit early. From this
test I feel sure tbat tbe sod apples are
better keepers. In commercial apple
culture this does not make so much
difference, as most apples are put at
once Into cold storage and kept there
until sold.
8eintifie Experiments.
A large number of scientific ex perl
ments have been conducted with vary'
Ing results. There Is a certain definite
time beyond which apples should not
be in storage. After this period the
sod fruit keeps best Tbe sod fruit
matures earlier than the cultivated
nd lr picked at tbe same time Is a
little higher colored. This bigb colored
matured fruit of course keeps better
than immature fruit, especially wltb
the earlier varieties, like Wealthy.
Alexander and Famcuse. These vari
eties undoubtedly keep better when
grown on sod land than fruit from
tilled land picked at tbe same time.
Where the latter was allowed to grow
longer there Is not much difference.
In commercial orcharding I think more
depends on other things, such as pick
lug and handling. No matter bow tbe
pple is grown, bruising and rough
handling will hurt tbe fruit
