witnessed the first beef cattle shipped from Wyoming
to Eastern markets. The
growth of the cattle trade
has kept pace with the
building of the railroads

fairly developed the resources and capabilities of
the business. The remarkable fattening character of
the cured and uncut grasses
of the plains and the valleys
ofthe vast grazing section of
the country, were nofc d
as long ago as in 1833-34,
when the first military posts
were established west of the
Missoui river. The animals
used in freighting supplies
to these pests had been wintered here with no food
but what the grasses afforded, and the only shelter
available was that afforded
by the bluffs and hill sides,
which proved ample. In

with the completion of the Kansas Pacific and Union Pacifio railroads, beef
raising suddenly became an important
American industry. The construction of
those railroads, also, gave an impetus to
the Texas cattle trade. Texas is now "the
great cattle hive of North America."
The business has been gradually transferred from the coast regions of the State
to the high rolling prairies, and to plateaus of Northern Texas, localities scarcely less congenial to this attractive industry than even the rich plains ofthe coast.
Under peculiar circumstances the original native breeds of cattle in Texas amalgamated into a common stock, combining in a larger degree the better points of
the constituent breeds; and those crossed
with the short horn repeatedly, have now
become the most desirable cattle for use
and export. The influence of the Texas
cattle trade some years ago interfered seriously with prices for beef in the Eastern
markets; but this evil has been partially
remedied by the constantly growing demand for choice beef, and by the requirements of Great Britain for American
beef. Cattle raisers now fully appreciate
the necessity for good beef, and keep pace
with all improvements in the production
of that article.—[American Cultivator.

Fashion in Breeding.
History of the Beef Cattle Movement.
In view of the large and growing proportions of the beef cattle movement
from the Weat to the East, and to Europe—a subject in which every stock-
raiser is interested more or less—the fact
should not be lost sight of that this new
feature in American commerce is of comparatively recent origin. When one
comes to investigate the advantages enjoyed by the United States for raising cattle for the world's consumption, so to
speak, the facilities thus afforded, both
by nature and human effort, are somewhat phenomenal in their character.
The immense pasture land ofthe interior
of the continent embraces an area of
1,000,000,000 acres, 550,000,000 of which
he within easy access of the railroads
that penetrate the States and Territories
between the Mississippi river and the
Kocky Mountains. Toe regions referred
to constitute perennial pastures, "bound-
lees, endless, gateless," where cheap mutton as well as beef may be raised, to feed
not only the millions of laborers who are
to develop the wealth of this continent,
but the people of Great Britain and the
continent, who are to-day calling upon
the United States for large supplies of
meat, as well as wheat and corn. Eight
years ago the number of cattle taken into
the Territories west of the Mississippi aggregated about 100,000. A few weeks ago
the number of cattle registered in Colo-
i rado alone was 550.000, and in the entire
cattle fattening regions nearly 1,000,000

While we properly denounce the practices of attaching more  importance to
fancy points than to those on which real
utility mainly depends, or of making a
fashionable pedigree  outweigh  glaring
defects in the animal, we should not foi-
get there is another kind of fashion in
breeding, the effects of which are harmful in a very large number of cases.   We
refer the practice of so many farmers,
and even communities, in breeding  a
given class of animals, not because  cf
special adaptation to their needs, but
because it has been customary to do so,
or because this class has been introduced
into the vicinity by some one.   We have
in mind a neighborhood in which yery
little systematic attention has been given
to cattle breeding, yet through a series of
years there had come to be a very perceptible  showing  of Short-horn  blood
among the common cattle.   This came
largely through the introduction' of two
or three thoroughbred bulls a number of
years since, by farmers with some definite idea of what they wanted; scarcely
at all through planning of the farmers
generally.   Within the last few years, two
or three farmers have introduced Jersey
bulls into this neighborhood, and, while
there  is  much  d-ffbrence   in  opinion
among the farmers as to the value  of
this class of cattle, the present indications
are that—through accident, negligence,
or choice, based wholly on convenience,
rather than because of deliberate choice
from belief that it is the best thing to do-
there will be a strong infusion of Jersey
blood in the cattle of perhaps a score of
farmers.   We are not  now  concerned
with the question whether the result will
be good or bad.   The point sought to be
enforced is that, whether good or bad,
the result will not come because of the
deliberate, intelligent choice  of those
most interested.   If, two or three years
hence, Devon, or Ayrshire, or Hereford,
of- T-rtATOr- uei^-UorXivOsiaT
done—as thousandrt-nntil v 10US1 farmers
have been doing year after year. But
surely the plan is not a wise one. .Thit
cannot be good management which js
carelesaly indifferent or ignorant concern^
ing the comparative merits of two breeds
of cattle differing so widely as do tie
Short-horn and the Jersey, and which
accepts a cross of either aa equally gcod.
It has been said time and again, ind
needs to be said many times more, that
there is no absolute necessity for a farmer
to make large expenditures in order to
improve his stock. Simply persisting n
giving good care, making wise selections
among his females, and steadily breediig
to the best attainable males of the desired
type, will do very much, in even a few
years; but the farmer who breeds toa stej-
lion, a bull or a boar, simply because Ifl
is of a breed that seems to be popular—because others are doing so, or because it
has been brought to his neighborhood ly
"an enterprising man," will oftentimeB
be undoing the gcod remits of the pa_t,
Better the continued use of good specimens of the "common stock" of the vicinity, than an indiscriminate mixture of
widely differing improved breeds.
It is bad to "follow the fashion" in
regard to pedigrees and familiea without
regard to real merit, but in the aggregate
much more harm comes from carelessly
doing as others do in breeding—drifting
into this or that cross, without regard to
its suitableness to our circumstances.—

details must be arranged according to
circumstances. That co-operation can be
made pleasant and profitable in these
matters there can be no doubt. It has
been suggested that the agricultural
societies, which are supposed to be gotten
up and managed for the benefit of the
farmer, could very properly enter upon
a. - _-va*'<itiaaing
or* undoubted excellence, and dividing
the cost and the service of their purchases
equitably among their members. Of
course there would be some difficulties in
the way of carrying out such a plan, but
all could be overcome by good judgment

Co operation in Stock-Breeding. '
The idea of co operation|among farmers for the purpese of enabling a number
to accomplish with esse whst cne of them
would find difficult if net impracticable,
gajsthe Drove rs'Journal, is net anew
one.   In fact, it has been to some extent,
practiced ever since the white man began
railing together the heavy timbers from
New England forettj to make for himself
sheltsr from the rigc rs of a ragged climate.   But for some reason co-operation
has never become popular with farmers
ts a class, and has been resorted tj but
very little, and then only when necessity
compelled ita adoption.   That it might
often be made a means for lightening the
burder s of farmeis, and of bringing within their reach comforts and even luxuries,
they cannot otherwise have,is not denied.
Mott   farmers freely  admit that  good
breeding is now absolutely necessary in
raising stock if one would avoid an absolute loes. -Ftr whatever purpese an animal
may be wantsd, whether it be for food,
for bearing burdens,' for speed, or for its
wool, much of its usefulness and nearly
all of its profitableness depends upon its
breeding.   Bat high breeding costs time,
money, thought, and no little drudgery,
and he who would have the benefit of
good blood must and should pay for it a
fair price, and this price is often sa great
that the small farmer, or one who has
but a small herd, st ad, or flock, cannot
afford it for an animal for his own use
alone.   He can, however, easily afford to
be one of a number to buy even the
choicest animals, if any equitable  arrangement can be made under which his
stock can get the benefit of the better
breeding.
In such matters as this no plan applica*
I have used bare-footed hoists on the
average  hard, gravelly   New  England
road, at intervals cf several months at a
time, during an experience of twenty-five
years in their ownership.   I   conclude
that the hoof will supply by growth all
the wear and watte of a fair day's work on
an "average country road.   What is a fair
day's travel fer a horse in continuous use?
The old Eastern  Stage Company said
" welve miles." I have ridden three hun-
d ed miles on a mail stage route in Utah,
I ahoand Oregon several times, when a
c ange of hoises was made at intervals o
1 elve miles, that being considered a fair
c y's work.   The entire line w£s seven

Bkinning -vs. Scalding Hog*.
I
Pig
saw a man yesterday dressing a small
in a manner which was novel to me.
Instead of the long and laborious method
of heating water and scalding and shaving,
he simply skinned the animal. He claims
that he could skin six hogs in less time
than they could be dressed by scalding.
The pork looked nicer than J expected to
see it—in fact, full as well as when the
skin was left on. There was one butcher
or more in the neigherhood who skinned
hogs for the Bake of the skin, and since the
process of scalding costs a dollar or more,
many ofthe farmers who do not care to eat
the pork rind have their hogs skinned, or
such of them as they intend to keep for
their own eating. I was unable to learn
what price the Bkins brought in the market or to what use they are put. Probably they are worth as much as the price
usually obtained for butchering, or the
butchers would not choose to skin for the
hide instead of the money. Whether the
hides are used for riding or "Russian leather" hand bags and pocket books I know
not; but if they do the world any good in
that way it is more than they do in the
pork barrel. As a matter ot curiosity I
would add that the hide from a 200 pound
pig weighs about 12} pounds.—Rural
