There are, however, three con- ditions essential to success 11 the stall | feeding of cattle, vin, good cattle, an abundance of cheap winter feed, and good management, Fifteen or twenty years ago the entitle required for the export trade were the beavy four aud five year old steers weighing 1400 to 1800 pounds: At that time quantity, not quality was indemand 'To-day we find that com- pact ,well-finished two and three year old anima's weighing from 1250 pounds up willcommaud the highest: prices. Qf course. if weight can be combined with quality, so much the better, but quitlity is of first importance. From the butcher's point of view the steer of Dest quality is the one which carries the greatest percentage of its weightin those parts of the carcass. whieh give the highest priced cuts. In the Chicago and New York markets, the most dis- erimingting in the-Wwartd, the -ribo and loin cuts wxnoand over four times the average price paid for the remainder of the carcass, and it is apparent that the prime beef animal must be good in these parts. 'They must-be-thickly and eveniy covered wilre Grim yet mellow of uniferm good quality and tree alike.frem hard rolls and blubbery patebes. Course, patehy animals will no longer be tolerated, mach less those that are bony wud bare on the back and ribs lu addition to the general beef form, with good backs, ribs and lois, there is says the ewinent american authority Prof. Curtiss; a certain quality, char- acter, style and finish that constitute an importaut factor in determliuing the vatue of beef cattle. One of the first indications efthis isto be fourd in the skinand coat, .A good feeding animal should havea soft, mellow touch anda soft but thick aud heavy coat. A barsh unyielding skin is an. indication of a sluggish circulation and low digestive power. -\ clear, prominent yet placid eye, clean eut_features, Hue horp, and cleat fine bove all go to indicate good feeding quality and capacity to take op alinish of the bighest excellence, aud conscquently to command top prices. Goarse boued, rough animals are al- must invariably slow feeders ang hard to finist»preperly. Besides these qual- ities; and above all, it is uecessary to have viger and constitution, .We +" evidence ef these in a wide forehead, promiment brisket, broad -chest, a sprongribs, full beart girth, and @ gen eral robust appearance. With the proper beef type in mind, il Will nut be diflicull to recognize-a. suil- able stocker. To find him is a more dificult matter, Ovving largely to the great expansion of the dairy. business during the past-ffleen or twenty years, it is becoming-more and more difficult to procure good stockers for feeding. To get satisfactory avimals a farmer is almost compelled to breed 'his own. Ln ease he does so, too much importance cannot be allached to the ceectien of the sire. It should never be forgotten that be is half the herd. Good grade cows are ali right to: breed frum, dui the ball should always be purebred. It is poor econormy-to save fifty ceuty or a dolar iv the first cost of the calf, and lose from ten to fifteen dollars when the finished animal is placed on the market. Desides this, the price at which purebred bulls gcau be - obtained inthese days leaves no excuse for the use of an inferior animal, An abuadant supply of eheap feed is essential to success in winter feeding. We can no longer finish our cattle on a ration of hay and grain wilh auy mar- gin of protit, We must have something that can be grown in larger quantities and at a very smailcost, aud corn en- silage.-fills the bill. It is beyond doubt thé best aud cheapest winter feed at our disposal. The-chief advantages of ensilage are its.great. palatability, the siving of labor which. it effects, and the tact that it cai, be fed at any time: of..the year with equal satisfaction. While corn holds first place as a cheap winter feed, it has no monopoly of the fieid. The farmer who. grows. a large quantity of graiu, aad has consequently an-abundant supply of straw, will find that by growing a quantity of roots to feed with it he.can fatten cattle at a very reasonable cost.- Fiéld roots thave a feeding value-apart from the. digest- ibleapatrients which. they: contain, in that they exercise -a veneficial effect |; Japon the-digestion aud geperal Hesh "OF CATTLE: succulent feed dict as roots and en- Silage, willhave the sleek, thrifty appearance of: grass fed cattle, and | titere whl belittle trouble with in ' digestion or havingthem: go bff thei feed, as is often the case with cattle j that are fed exclusively on dry fodder |aud grain. --. The grain ration devends: so largely jon circumstances that it will not be 'discussed here.

SHOCKING DEATH Wm. Stevenson, of Listowel, Under. Moving Train, Beath came to Wm. Stevenaon, of Listowel, at [larriston on- Wednesday evening of last wees. It seams that he wis ow his way to Clifford to spend TNanksgiving. and stopped off t Har- ristou fur a few hours to visit his son who is a minister, He then went to the station to take the traineto Clifford but by mistake got om the~Owen-Sound train, .Ithad started to move cut of the yard when he found ont that he was on the wrong train. He at once made a rash to jump off the swiftly moving train, Oveof thea passengers endeavored to restrain him from doing so, but he-tore bimself loose and jump- ed. Meantime another passenger pulled the bell-rope and the train scon came toastop. On running up to investi- gate it was found thattiig~unfortunate mer-had fallen partly under the wheels aud had lost bis right foot and portion of his right hand. Beimg-a man over 70 years of age the shock was in- tense and, in spite of all that medical skill conld do, he breathed his last a bout 2 o'elock Tharsday morning. The body was brought to Listowel where interment took place on Saturday. It was indeed asad Thanksgiving Day to the svrrowing relatives and friends who buvethe sincere sympathy of all in their sudden bereavement, It is use- less to paint the moral that people should not jump from or seek to board moving trains, Everyone knows it is dangerous but in the excitement of the moment danger is forgotten. "The deceased was a man well know: in this vicinity, having for years con ducted a cheese factory at Britton. He had lived retired in Listowel for some years, ~.[le was a member of the Pres- byterinn Church anda Conservative in politics. THOMAS WARD WAS SHOT FOR DEER Deceased Has.
