The  famous  trotter  Allerton  now  drags  a  cart. 
The  yearling  pacing  record  is  held  bv  Belle  Action 
-2:21  4. 
Ireland  is  enriched  by  about  a  million  more  sheep 
than  in  1889. 
There  will  probably  be  no  fat  stock  show  in  Chi¬ 
cago  this  year. 
Sheep  have  brought  lower  prices  at  the  English 
“  fairs  ”  this  year  than  last 
While  trying  to  beat  her  record  of  2:04,  at  Nashville 
the  other  day,  Nancy  Hanks  scored  2:05. 
The  highest  jump  ever  made  by  a  French  horse 
was  78  inches.  An  American  has  gone  five  inches 
higher. 
Bisson’s  Belle,  the  famous  Jersey,  brought  $1,000  at 
auction  the  other  day  at  W.  J.  Webster's  sale,  at 
Columbia,  Tenn. 
The  average  weight  of  the  hogs  received  at  Kansas 
City  Stockyards  for  September  was  202  pounds— ex¬ 
actly  the  same  as  during  September  of  1S91. 
The  sales  of  wool  at  Boston  Philadelphia  and  Chi¬ 
cago  have  been  between  45  and  50  million  pounds 
more  during  the  present  than  the  last  season. 
The  other  day  the  County  Commissioners  of  Car¬ 
bon  Countv,  Pa.,  sold  10,000  acres  of  unredeemed 
mountain  land,  some  for  less  than  three  cents  an 
acre. 
Texas  boasts  of  an  abundance  of  grass  but  mourns 
a  scarcity  of  cattle.  Too  many  cows  have  lately  been 
sold  off,  and  steers  can  hardly  replace  them  as  stock 
breeders. 
During  the  summer  pork-packing  season,  now 
about  over,  7.165.000  porkers  have  been  disposed  of— 
an  Increase  of  1,305,000  over  the  number  at  the  same 
time  last  year. 
The  asparagus  crop  has  been  so  large,  the  past  sea¬ 
son  in  Brunswick,  Germany,  that  in  many  villages,  it 
wouldn't  bring  a  cent  a  pound,  and  was  liberally 
fed  to  cows  and  sheep. 
Professor  James  Fletcher,  the  Dominion  Entomolo¬ 
gist,  has  prepared  an  instructive  bulletin  on  the  cat¬ 
tle  horn  fly,  which  has  In  many  parts  of  Ontario 
caused  some  trouble  and  a  great  deal  of  alarm  this 
year. 
The  Director  of  the  United  States  Gypsy  Moth 
Commission  says  that  he  has  visited  all  points  where 
the  pest  was  reported  to  exist,  except  one  place  in 
Virginia,  and  that  nowhere,  outside  the  infected  dis¬ 
trict  in  Massachusetts,  has  he  found  it.  In  several 
places  where  it  appeared  last  spring  no  signs  of  It 
exist  this  fall. 
It  is  proposed  to  Introduce  the  kangaroo  of  Austra¬ 
lia  into  North  America  as  a  substitute  for  the  ex¬ 
tinct,  or  all  but  extinct,  bison.  Parts  of  the  country, 
especially  in  the  West,  unsuited  for  cultivation  or 
other  stock,  might,  it  is  thought,  be  used  in  breeding 
kangaroos,  which  afford  not  only  good  sport,  but 
"  flesh,  fur  and  footwear.” 
In  the  Sante  F6  district,  New  Mexico,  there  are 
1 1.000,000  acres  open  to  settlement.  During  the  past 
year  408,932  acres  have  been  taken  up,  principally 
under  the  homestead  and  desert  land  laws.  Many 
irrigating  companies  have  lately  been  incorporated, 
nnd  great  advances  have  been  made  in  agriculture 
and  horticulture— for  such  an  arid  State.  Cattle 
raising  hasn't  paid  recently,  sheep  raising  has.

Deptford,  on  the  outskirts  of  London,  along  the 
Thames,  is  one  of  the  English  ports  at  which  can  be 
landed  American  live  cattle  to  bo  necessarily  slaugh¬ 
tered  10  days  after  debarkation.  A  cargo  was  landed 
on  October  7  and  among  those  slaughtered  on  October 
13  wis  one  beast  which  the  veterinarians  found 
badly  affected  with  contagious  pleuro-pneumonla, 
Since  the  establishment  of  the  embargo  on  American 
cattle  in  1578,  the  Department  of  Agriculture  at 
Washington  has  employed  an  expert  American 
veterinarian  at  each  of  the  ports  designated  for  the 
landing  of  American  cattle,  to  act  as  a  check  cn  the 
mistakes  and  exaggerations  of  local  veterinarians, 
and  the  lungs  of  the  diseased  animal  were  turned 
over  to  the  American  veterinarian  at  Deptford  lo  to 
forwarded  to  Washington  as  the  best  evidence  that 
pleuro-pneumonia  contagiosa  is  not  yet  extinct  in  the 
United  States,  in  spite  of  the  recent  official  procla¬ 
mation  of  Secretary  Rusk  to  the  contrary.  English 
cattle  breeders  and  owners  are  bitterly  opposed  to 
the  free  Importation  of  live  cattle  from  this  country 
ascertain  to  still  further  injure  the  already  almost 
rulnoui  condition  of  native  cattle  owners.  Among 
these  there  is  a  general  impression  that  Secretary 
Rusk’s  late  proclamation  was  a  preliminary  to 
official  pressure  by  our  Government  upon  that  of 
England  for  the  entire  removal  of  the  embargo,  and 
accordingly  they  are  jubilant  at  the  recent  alleged 
discovery,  as  disproving  the  truth  of  the  Secretary's 
statement.  Indeed  some  of  the  hostile  English  papers 
assert  that  any  efforts  to  even  modify  the  present 
restrictions  would  bo  unworthy  of  attention  for 
years.  Even  if  the  reported  case  of  the  disease  turns 
out  to  be  genuine,  the  English  comments  on  it  grossly 
exaggerate  its  importance.  There  is  on  record  in 
Engl  nd  a  case  in  which  contagious  pleuro-pneu- 
monia  remained  latent  in  an  animal  over  six  months. 
Though  the  case  stands  alone  and  exceptional,  it’s 
possible  that  the  above  instance  is  a  duplicate.  As 
the  losses  to  American  cattle  owners  due  to  the  Eng¬ 
lish  embargo  on  the  free  importation  of  their  stock 
amounts  to  several  million  dollars  a  year.it  is  im¬ 
portant  that  its  removal  Bhould  not  be  delayed  on 
any  flimsy  pretext. 
What  Is  Compound  Oxygen? 
A  modern  medical  agent  with  air  for  its  base.  This 
is  greatly  enriched  with  Oxygen,  the  life-giving  and 
sustaining  element  of  air.  Then  the  whole  is  magnet¬ 
ized.  Finally  these  subtle  elements  are  so  combined 
and  confined  that  they  may  be  transported  and  re¬ 
leased  at  will. 
Now  what  will  this  do?  In  the  light  of  23  years  of 
wide  and  widening  experience,  we  say  briefly— relieve 
and  cure  an  Incredible  number  of  physical  ills.  Colds, 
Catarrh  and  Consumption:  Asthma,  Neuralgia  and 
Rheumatism;  Dyspepsia,  Debility  and  Nervous  Pros¬ 
tration  are  among  the  more  numerous  and  important 
Over  CO, 000  carefully  recorded  cases  are  in  our  office 
and  at  your  disposal,  or  a  book  of  200  pages  Is  yours 
for  the  asking. 
We  have  proof  for  those  who  doubt,  and  relief  for 
those  who  suffer.  Will  you  have  it?  Address  Drs.

MILK. 
The  total  daily  supply  for  the  week  has  been  19,158 
cans  of  milk,  140  cans  of  condensed  milk  and  ill  cans 
of  cream.  The  average  price  paid  for  the  surplus 
on  the  platform  has  been  $1.00  a  can  of  40  quarts. 
THE  DEMAND 
has  been  so  great  for  Buffalo  Glu¬ 
ten  Feed  that  the  capacity  for  its 
manufacture  has  been  more  than 
doubled.  W e  are  now  pleased  to  re¬ 
port  that  we  can  supply  any  reas¬ 
onable  calls.  It  is  peculiarly 
adapted  for  feed  for  milch  cows; 
the  price  is  now  as  low  as  that  of 
corn  meal,  while  its  value  is  much 
greater.  The  following  is  one  of 
many  letters  received  : 
EAST  AMHERST, 
MASS. 
September  29,  1891. 
This  is  to  certify  that  I  have 
been  making  some  tests  with 
Buffalo  Gluten  Feed. 
I  took  two  cows  from  my  herd 
and  fed  for  one  week  as  follows  : 
200  lbs.  of  fine  ground  Corn  Meal, 
100  lbs.  fine  ground  Cotton-seed 
Meal,  and  100  lbs.  fine  ground 
Old  Process  Linseed  Meal,  well 
mixed,  and  fed  4  1-2  lbs.  to  a  feed 
twice  a  day. 
The  next  week  I  fed  4  1-2  lbs. 
to  a  feed  twice  a  day  of . 
Gluten  Meal,  and  found  they 
gained  in  milk  from  1  1-2  to  2 
quarts  a  day. 
The  next  week  I  fed  4  1-2  lbs. 
of  Buffalo  Gluten  Feed,  which 
was  about  one-half  more  in  bulk, 
and  found  they  gained  from  1  to 
1  1-2  quarts  more  than  on  the 
. Gluten  Meal. 
I  think  Buffalo  Gluten  Feed  is 
the  best  feed  for  the  money  of 
anything  I  have  tried  as  yet. 
Yours,  GEO.  AY.  FITCH.
