The following table may serve to show why the Scotch 

 feeders prefer buying Canadian cattle to using their own or 

 purchasing Irish cattle. It is extracted from the Dundee 

 "Courier," February 2nd, 1894 : 



OAIN IN WEIGHT OF CANADIAN STOCKERS AS COMPARED WITH 

 SCOTCH AND IRISH CATTLE AFTER FIVE MONTHS FEEDING 

 UNDER THE SAME FEED AND TREATMENT. 



COST AND RETURNS. 



The results show that home-bred and Irish cattle were far 

 outstripped by the Canadians, both as regards gain in weight 

 and increase in value.
