Systematioally, sinee oar 1884 im- portations, we have been breeding all our bulls and rams with the common cows and ewes of the conntr j for the purpose of obtaining specimens of grades, and thus adding to our know- ledge of what is and is not of impor- tance to oar people for the dairy, for fattening,for wethers and for breeding ewes. Meantime we desire to submit two exemples of finished beef just sold, which were first crosses between a Holsteiu bull and ordinary cows, weighing on an average 1,100 Bbs. The Holstein is allowed to be a su- perior one of his kind .is now six years old and weighs over 2,300 Tba. One of the cows is a good type of the milk- ing grades, and apparently got by a grade Durham bull the other is a Jersy grade, or cross between a pure bred Jersey bull and such a cow as the first one named. We had bull calves from each on the 4th August 1885, and 14th April, 1886, respec- tively. They were submitted to or- dinary management as regards time of altering, and allowed to suckle twice daily up to eight months, receiving at the same timj hay, grain and green fodder according to season, and heuce ail through such handling as should make first class animals in one word, we gave them conditions similar to Durham and Aberdeen Angus Poll grade steers that have gone from here and taken prizes at leading exhibitions in the States and Canada. Ou 20th December, 1887, when the oldest Holstein grade steer was sold, and the other held over for another batch for exportation, we had the following record From Days Live Daily rate old.iweight. of in crease Holstein and common cow 866 1,790 9.06 Holstein and Jersey grade 605 1,389 2.18 Here, evidently, are facts of unusu- al practical importance to patrons of Holstein cattle, as well as all interest- ed in darying in conjunction with the production of early beef. In the first example we have a steer two years and four mouths old that weighed 1,790 lbs., and in the other the an- imal scaled actually 1,829 lbs. when only one year and eight months. We iiave, then, in both cases a daily re- cord considerable over 2 Iba., and, I think, equal to the average of any dozen of any other breed of which we have records either at Chicago, in Canada, or at Sm^thfield, England. Of course this comparison of two with a dozen la not usual, bat I put it thus in order to draw attention. We are sure that this, our first pub- lic submission of specimens of Holstein grade beef, will make some talk, as Holstein breeders have of late been justly employed m presenting the cap- abilities of their subjects, with, it is considered, the usual proportion of un- necessary claims, and others have as «owi. sod. waAes umUur mftnagemeiit may yet tompar* faTorabiy viUi some accamalation ia big enoagh to justify confidence. Thus, then, these ex- periments, so far as they go, tend to prove that the Holstein is able to pro- duce weight of steers with common imreasonably been making wholesale condemnation of them. We all de- sire actual facts, bit by bit, until the of the beefing breed. But this question posses other fea- tures good beef on foot has, of coarse other properties besides size or weight according to age, and these we have now to place in connection with our Holstein grades. The exterior black and white mark- ing of the animals, as noted in Ballet- iu xvu., was in its location and area a matter of striking similarity with the pure breedâ€" something nnchailenged from any other source. In like man- ner the general framing stands un- questionable in its likeness, the heavy bone and large punch particularly. Had food been all along bulky, or green, or sloppy, allowance would be made for what a beefy type must dis- charge as an unneccessary middle piece but as very much of all the up- keep was hard grain and dry fodder the special class, and not the manage- ment, must account for it. Both an- imals were very marked in this respect and it certainly agrees with their his- tory and deep milking qualities. The older steer had a very prominent heavy or coarse bone and frame, and the frame of the other is also peculiarly angular and irregular when compared I with the usual mode of a beefer. We are not drawing fine lines in these statements, and no experienced judge- ment was required to draw attention to the want of quality in the general form of the animals. Not only so, but the quality otherwise, with depth, mellowness and uniform covering of flesh, were prominently absent. These, with hard handling, a thick skin and legginess, make up the speci- mens of beef in question. In direct opposition, however, to these charactenstics, which are nn- sual not taken as respectively of the best type for the most profitable pro- duction of flesh, we are met with the first statement made in this report How shall we reconcile the early heavy weights with the want of form and quality f The older steer, having been killed gave 62^ per cent, of batchers meat. If possible, we shall also get the block record of the younger one, which, if about equal to the other, will give them a high place in this important particular. Necessary, the actual food value â€" ' «., flesh versus bone, with fat and leanâ€" would be required to ascertain the consumer's valuation.

Subscribers who do not give ex- press notice to the contrary are con- sidered as wishing to continue their subscription. 2. If the subscribers order the dis- continuation of their periodicals the publisher may continae sending them until all arrearages are paid np. 8. If snbscribers neglect or refuse to take their periodicals from the office to which they are directed they are held responsible untill they settled their bill and ordered discontinued. 4. If subscribers move to other places and fail to inform the publish- er, and the. papers are sent to the former direction, they are held re- sponsible. 5 The courts have decided that re- fusing to take periodicals from^ the office, or removing and leaying them uncalliBd for, is prima facie evidence of intentional frand. 6. If sabscribers pay 9a advance th ey are bonnd to giye notice to the publisher at the end of their time, if they do no not wish to continue taking it otherwise the pabtisber is anthoris- ed to send it on and tiie subscriber is responsible until express notice, with payment of al\ arrears, is sent direct to the publisher. The latest postal laws are saoh that newspaper publishers can arrest any- one for fraud who takes a paper and refuses to pay for it. Under the law the man who allows his subscription to run along for some time unpaid, and then orders it discontinued, or orders the postmaster to mark it "lie- fused," and have a postal card sent notifying the publisher, lays himself liable to arrest and fine, same as for thtfft.
