A Monument to the Shorthorn 
On Sunday, October 29, a monument 
will be unveiled that will mark an epoch- 
making cvpnt in Shorthorn history in 
America, in 1883 a group of about 50 
men organized at C'hilicothe, O.. "The 
Ohio Company for Importing Improved 
Cattle.'’ Their plan was to import cat- 
tie from England, and they commissioned 
Felix Ronicfe and two assistants to pro¬ 
ceed to that Country and make such pur¬ 
chases as they saw fit. They sailed early 
in 1884, visited the more prominent Eng¬ 
lish breeders, and purchased 19 Short¬ 
horns, which were successfully landed in 
this country and driven overland to Chil- 
licothe. Through correspondence impor¬ 
tations were also made in 1885 and 183(1. 
These importations, conducted under 
great difficulties. < veatcd national inter¬ 
est. On October 29, 1S3*>, a public auc¬ 
tion of 43 cattle of the company was held 
on the ltoniek Farm, which brought $34,- 
540. an average of $803.25. This was 
the first auction sale of Shorthorns in 
America, and thus it becomes an epoch- 
making event. Felix Renielc in his day 
was an outstanding figure in America for 
the part he played in 1 . e stock hus¬ 
bandry. Therefore, the Ohio Shorthorn 
Breeders’ Association will erect a monu¬ 
ment to the memory of Mr. Renick and to 
commemorate this sale. The monument 
will stand near the roadside on the Renielc 
Farm, about four miles south of Chilli- 
cot he. on the Portsmouth Turnpike. The 
program begins at two o’clock, and men 
prominent in the Shorthorn world will 
contribute to the exercises. This is the 
first monument to be erected in America 
in recognition of an hissoric event in our 
cattle industry. c. s. plvmb.

Brittle Bones 
T am crate-fattening chickens. What 
causes these crate-fed birds to have brittle 
bones at the end of two weeks’ feeding? 
I am feeding 04 per cent crnmeal. 82 per 
cent ground oats, four per cent scraps, 
mixed with skim-milk. The bones become 
so brittle as to break at wings and shoul¬ 
ders while being plucked. The bones seem 
to lack gelatin, and are very brittle. What 
can 1 add to feed to correct this con¬ 
dition? H.H. A. 
Rhode Island. 
Possibly the bones of the birds that are 
being subjected to crate-fattening rations 
are becoming brittle, due to a deficiency of 
bone-making material in the ration. You 
might try the use of bonemeal in the ra¬ 
tion equivalent to tw<> per cent .4 its 
total weight and note if there is any im¬ 
provement. The bonemeal would not in 
any way affect the ration otherwise.
