TYPES OF BEEF CATTLE.
Animal', 1 iiat Will Grow Frame as Well
as Beef.
The ever changing requirements of the
markets combined with varying condi-
tions of beef production, writes a corre-
gpondent of The Breeder’s Gazette, ex-
ert a continual tendency to cliango tlie
type of our beef breeds of cattle. The
matter of fancy and fashion combine to
a minor extent in the evolution that is
constantly taking place. For seme years
past the tendency has been toward the
short legged, blocky, compact, early
maturing type for which the market
has most of the time paid a premium.
The various leading beef breeds have
each proved their capacity, some to a
greater and some to a less extent, to
furnish cattle of this type.
With the original scrub cattle of the
country the production of animals of
this type was impossible. With the old
fashioned Shorthorn on which devolved
the first improvement of our native cat-
tie their production was equally impos-
sible, and during the years immediately
following the early introduction of the
Bhorthorn the chief claim of their breed*
era was largely of increased scale over
the original scrub cattle, and on that
increase of excellence their case rested.
In the years immediately following
inoro attention was paid to the matter
of finish—that is, finish as illustrated
by the early Bates typo. Not until the
advent of the Hereford and Angus was
thoro any tendency toward the produc¬
tion of the type that has since become
so popular. The criticism of the new
type was at first severe, particularly
when some of tho Shorthorn breeders
began an effort to produce cattlo more
of the type of the Angus and Hereford,
employing for the purpose the blood of
tho Scotcli Shorthorn that had been bred
side by side with the Angus and hud

been compelled to pattern as far as pos-
sible nfter tho Angus typo to perpetuate
its existence in that country. For some
years back the three leading breeds have
been traveling the same road, and a ma¬
jority of the breeders of each of the
breeds aro working along the same line
with the same aim in view. So at the
present time wo as their breeders can
all “trot in the same class’’ and study
the same lessons at the same school.
The qtiick feeding “pony” type has
been of untold value in beef production,
according to conditions as they exist in
many sections of the country. In the
production of “baby beef” they are
truly “the whole show.” Good ones of
this sort have been frequent winners at
our leading state fair shows in breeding
rings and at the fat stock shows they
have been even more popular. At the
leading markets of the world they have
been ready sellers at top prices. I am at
all times ready to pxteud to them the
fullest recognition and stand aside for
no man in my admiration for the best
specimens of the type.\I am sometimes,
however, led to wonder if we may not
cariy our adherence to this type too far
in our breeding operations, or rather
too many of us adopt this line of breed¬
ing before we discover our mistake. I
say mistake because I believe this coun¬
try still requires in some sections a beef
animal that will continue to grow frame
as well as beef after the animal is 2 or
2 t a years old.
Sis* In Homi.
In the choice of a brood n,are for the
S2sSs£S«; best to get a high, roomy animal. Next
to quality, size should be considered. A
good, big horse is always more saleable
than a good little one. In attempting
to breed such there will alwavstfxxmr
au occasional mlafit—a colt that does
not fulfill his promise of growth.
Should be not be up to a heavy weight
m the hunting field, he may etill make
a fair back or harness horse, for which
there is always a market at a remuner-
ative price. Big R mares often breed
small horses; small mares seldom breea
big OPUS. Yet, umvisjn plays no small
part minting for s«e as vie

Changes In .Sheep HaibMdff
Within a Year.
-.ir situation of sheep husbandry,
a v no Country Gentleman, has great-
ci • iged within a year. Values of
beep bav< nearly doubled, num-
■iV(- increas'd, the domestic wool
is larger, and values of pasture
have advanced. The price of mut-
t •1 lamb has also advanced, feeding
come more general, and therefor*
uanijty is increased and quality en-
■ iic. d, and this latter consideration
.duces a larger consumption.
Ine most important change of the
? ea r , has bee decrea8e
“ a of imports,
, wool and its
manufacture, leu
tban ;•.32,000,000 in placo of more than
$103,000,000. It is an astonishing fact,
w bich illustrates the decadence of our
sheep industry from 1894 to 1897—ita
alm °st utter collapse—that the whole
valuu of our domestic wool, mutton and
lamb was not sufficient in 1890-7 to pay
for olir imports by some $40,000,000.
This year in comparison we save about
$70,000,000 in imports, and by incresu.
in quantity and value get some $40,-
000,000 more for our wool and mutton
tbut is » our wo °l and meat are worth
about $100,000,000 against $00,000,000
the previous year.
rhe details of this change are inter-
eatiu K, as given in the treasury records
j ust Published. The value of wools im-
18 118.783,092 against $53,243,-
191 the P revloos year, and of manufeo-
i uros > 823, 708 against $49,162,992.
Ir these figures aro included values of
rags, wastes, shoddy and flocks amount-
iug to $097,622, or 3,299,771 pounds—
a great falling off from the record of
the previous year, 49,913,732 pounda,
equal to almost 150,000,000 pounds of
wool, coming in to displace domestio
wool and depreciate the quality of our
clothing supply and costing before ship¬
ment $6,935,658. Placing these with
the wool imports, we have the follow¬
ing comparison for fiscal years:
. --1897.-- ,---1898.--,
Pounds. Value. Pounds. Value.
Class 1.200,789,079 $34.281,666 45,443,087 $7,969,611
Class 2. 37,951,490 7,187,620 4,320,873 859,500

Shoddy 49,913,732 6,935,658 3,290,771 007,623
The imports of the previous year
were some 50 per cent more than all
our domestic supply, and of last year
only about half as much as the past
year’s production. This is certainly a
great improvement, a great help to
growers and avast benefit to consumers
in escaping the infliction of shoddy and
the brash wools of hot climates and neg¬
lected sheep husbandry.
More than half of this avalanche of
imports comes from England, though
little of it is grown there; over 28,000,-
000 pounds from China and other parts
of Asia, and some from France, Ger-
many and other countries of Europe.
Sheep Scab.
Tho agricultural department at Wash¬
ington has issued a bulletin entitled
“Sheep Scab, Its Nature and Treat-
inent, ” prepared by the bureau of ani¬
mal industry for the purpose of correct¬
ing mauy erroneous ideas prevalent re-
garding the exact nature of the disease
and tho methods by which it may be
eradicated. It begins with a historical
introduction showing that this disease,
one of the oldest known, most prevalent
and most injurious maladies which af¬
fects this species of animals, is a oon-
tagious skin disea.se caused by a para¬
sitic mite, and that the impression that
has arisen among some sheep raiser*
that the scab is hereditary is incorrect.
Attention is called to the necessity of
keeping sheep under proper hygienio
conditions, but that alone, it is stated,
though of importance in connection
with tho subject of treatment, cannot
be relied upon to cure scab. The ouly
rational treatment consists in using
some external application which will
kill the parasites. The bulletin says,
“By far the most satisfactory and cheap¬
est method of curing scab is by dipping
tho sheep in some liquid which will
kill the parasites.” A description ia

A NEW SCALE REMEDY.
A (intollnt Blast Virfnl When Scales
Are Itrfral Layers Thick.
During the season cf 1S97 an appa¬
ratus was devised at the Michigan ex¬
periment station for burning scale in¬
sects on the tree. An ordinary gasoline
blast lamp or soldering torch, such as
18 used by plumbers, was fitted with
five parallel burners so arranged that a
broad sheet of flame about teu inches
wide could be directed on the tree. A
torch of thi« sort was made for Professor
Barrows in the fall of 1697, and during
the winter several tests were made. Of
1 these it is reported:
When the flame is parsed over the
body of a coated tree, tiie scales
change color, and many drop

piadr on peeeb end peer trees badly af¬
fected with the Sen Jose scale and dur¬
ing the winter months, while the trees
wore dormant. The results seemed to
show that the bleat will kill the scale
insects with little or no injury to the
tree. The trees were eoorched in places
where the flame had naovsd too slowly,
and the care Htcessary to avoid the
scorching appears to be the most serious
drawback to the use of the blast lamp.
In careless hands maeh injury may be
done in a very short time, while the
skillful handling neessssry for success
would be rather expensive under ordi¬
nary circumstances.
Good judgment must be exercised al¬
ways and the rapidity and effectiveness
of the work will be much modified by
the temperature of the air, the direction
and foroe of the wind, the age of the
tree and the thickness of the inorustiug
scales. Under favorable conditions we
believe the blast lamp can be used to
good purpose and economically in de¬
stroying scale insects, but we are not
prepared to recommend it for general
nse as superior or even equal to treat¬
ment by spraying.

HOW MRS. HUGHES
KILLED HER HUSBAND.
Their Nine-Year-Old Son on the
Witness Stand.
Greenville, S. C., Nov. 21.—
The killing of George Hughes by
his wife, Mattie Hughes, at Greers,
promises to be one of the most sen¬
sational of Greenville’s homicides.
The coroner’s inquest developed
facts heretofore unpublished. The
cook and others testified that Mrs.
Hughes told her husband she would
give him two minutes to fight her
fairly, but his reply was that he
would not hurt her for anything.
He attempted to leave house, but
with a drawu pistol she ordered
him into the parlor and finally shot
him as he attempted to grasp the
the pistol.
Their only child, Leo, a boy of
nine, was the only witness to the
shooting. He made a statement
which agrees with all other testi¬
mony. He said :
“Papa asked manma if she had
anything to say. Mamma then
commenced cursing papa, saying,
‘if you go out I’ll kill you.’ Papa
went back. Mamma followed
with the pistol pointed at papa,
and said she would kill him, and
would give him two minutes to
fight, but he refused. - Papa got
up and mamma shot him.
Several witnesses testified that a
few nights before Mrs Hughes was
heard to tell her husband that if he
accused her again she would kill
him, and cursed him terribly.
The woman, now in jail, is a
bold, handsome creature. Several
years ago she was involved in a lo-
cal scandal and shooting scrape.
She and her husband occupied sep-
’ t|ie boy stayin(? B with
his father. Ma Hughes was suc-

stated that the shooting was
not accidental, and when his wife
kissed him exclaimed it was the
first time in years.
Out Of a Hexican Prison.
Terre Haute,Ind., November 20.
—Morton Hudson, of this city, has
just arrived from Mexico, where he
has been in prison for over half a
year. Last February Hudson and
a friend named Powell went on a
prospecting tour near Toluca,Mex¬
ico. They were returning from
the town of Vereguera, where they
had been to purchase supplies for
their camp, when they were setup-
on by two Mexican highwaymen.
One of the Nexicans clapped a
pistol to Powell’s head, but the
American grappled his assailant
and the two fell from their horses.
The second Mexican, who was
armed with a machete, was in the
act of plunging it into Powell’s
back, when Hudson brought him to
the ground with a well directed
shot.
The first Mexican was rapidly
overpowering Powell, when the
latter called for help. Hudson went
to his assistance, when the high¬
wayman aimed his pistol at the ad¬
vancing man. Hudson was too
quick, however, and shot the man
through the breast.
The two Americans then con¬
cealed themselves in the mountains
until they finally decided to surren¬
der to the Mexican authorities.
Hudron was thrown into jail at
Tenacingo, but finally got a letter
to his brother in this city and the
authorities in Washington secured
his trial and release. Ex-Secretary
of the Navy Richard W. Thomp-
son, W. \V. McKean, Senator
Fairbanks and Congressman Faris
were instrumental in securing
proper treatment for Hudson. Hud¬
son is thin and pale from his con¬
finement, but is otherwise in good
health.
.^oney For Spanish . _ Troops.
Havana, Nov. 20.—Captain
General Bianco received from Far*
is today a cable authorizing him to
draw’ on Pans for $ 2 , 000,000 in
gold, to be applied to the payment
ot the Spanish troops in Cuba.
This amount is in addition to
proceeds of the draft for
by the Madrid government on Lon¬
don, which was sold here last week.
The Spanish authorities are mak¬
ing strenuous efforts to complete
the evacuation by the end of the
year.
Aguinaldo’s Agent Denounces
Merritt.
London, Nov. 31 . —Agoncillo,
with his advisers, returned here
from Paris this morning. He an¬
nounced hitnself as being very in¬
dignant at the statement made by
Major General Wesley Merritt in
reply to the arraignment of Ameri¬
can officers, made by the insurgent
junta of Hong Kong in an open
letter to President McKinley and
the people of the United States
through the Associated Press.
The general situation also dis¬
pleased Agoncillo, and, ofter re¬
calling, to an interviewer, “how
the Filippinos have loyally and ef¬
fectively aided the Americans,” he
added :
“General Merritt’s reference to
the Filippinos as ‘children’ is sim¬
ply an echo of a Spanish saying,
and he may, like the Spaniards,
find his error when it is too late.
“I am afraid the Filippinos will
never again submit to the yoke of
a colonial government. Rather
than live again as slaves they will
fight to the bitter end in defense of
their rights and freedom. My in¬
structions are to claim the recog¬
nition of their independence.”
4 4 What do the Filippinos think
of the American proposal to pur¬
chase, the islands?” Agoncillo
was asked.
4 i The opinion of the Filippinos
government cannot be favorable to
it,” he answered, “as they cannot
allow themselves to be bought and
sold like merchandise. But if the
object of the moderate indemnity
is that their recognition and peace
be established, I don’t see why,
perhaps, the matter should not be
submitted to their considerations.”
Aguinaldo’s agent was then ask¬
ed what form of government the
Filippinos would prefer if they
could not get complete independ¬
ence, but declined to answer on the
ground that it would be premature
to do so, but expressed “confidence
in the honor of the American na¬
tion and President McKinley, who
will not permit any misunderstand¬
ing.”
Col. Berner Praises The Men of
The Third.
Griffin, Nov. 21.—Colonel Rob¬
ert L. Berner, commanding the
Third Georgia regiment, was pack¬
ing his effects when I found him
this morning. He said to me :
“The Third Georgia is in splen¬
did condition for the trip to Savan¬
nah and Cuba. My men are in good
health and spirit, and they are glad
the day of departure has come.
There was never a finer regiment
of soldiers in the volunteer army,
and I am proud of th e men who
will go to Cuba under my com¬
mand.
“The boys are soldiers and gen¬
tlemen, and you will hear of no
outbreaks or disorder by them.
They are well disciplined and are
anxious to serve their country on
Cuban soil. There are no brigands
or outlaws among them, and they
will not raid stores, 9tands or other
people’s property, as ha«, been done
by some soldiers.
“We do not expect to reuvin in
Savannah but a few da\ s. The
regiment has been ordered to Neu-
vitas, Cuba, and as soon as the
transports reach Savannah we will
go on board and start for the Cuban
port, which is to be our home for
the next year or two. at least.
“You may say to the people of
Georgia that they need h. veto fear
as to the conduct of the Third
Georgia while in Cub \l men
will uphold the dignity of ti ic s: ite
and the soldiery of Geor ga, and
good reports will be ma ’• ■ b cause
there shall be no ground for bad
ones.
‘‘We are deeply grateful for the
many kind messages of g'-’od c net r
sent us by friends throng >• *he

Lieutenant Colonel ,S net r - a id :
“The Third Georgia is fin i t gi-
.
ment and it will cotnpare favor-
ably with any of the service lam
glad to go to Cuba with the Geor¬
gia boys. The men are in good
condition.”
Major John S. Cohen said:
“Our boys are happy that they are
to leaveCamp Northen. Toa man
they want to see Cuba and they
will board the transports cheerful
