The Pere Marquette railroad is try- ing an interesting experiment in bridge baildiug, The company is building a new bridge across Rouge river a,t North- ville, Mich., and the bridge will be "poured" -that is, it will be made of Portland cement. The river will be spanned by a skeleton arch and on this the cement will be laid. The cement will be atllowed_to harden for the year, and then the skeleton :will beremoved. In the construction 4,000 barrels of ce- ment, 3,200 yards of crashed stone and 1,600 yards of geavel will be used, and if the experimenu shall prove as success- ful as hoped for,the netresult will be a solid bridge of artificial stone that will outlive any steel or wooden bridge. Thie is the first railroad bridge of the kind that has been a bternpted, and it ;nay mask a new era in railroad bridge consteaction. Noclel :Dairy Notes from . the ORDER8 f I1LDE'8HOT. Pan~=�• magna, wilt) During the past ten days everything The London News views with alarm the influx of inferior horses to Ontario from the Western States. To fill the void made by the export of horses to South Africa, large numbers of cheap ranching horses from the Western States have been sent in. They are cheap in price, ana not at all desirable. They are ill-favored and small. It is reported that they are diseased. Whether that isthe case or not, it is tone in the horse business, says the News. that a, little leaven affects the whole loaf, and these small beasts will very soon leave their mark upon the Ontario animal. The Ontario horse is now getting a' name for h111155lf, and has found favor with the dealers in the olcl land. If the horse business is to thrive here the standard must not be lowered, as it certainly will be if the ,cheap irnrstan;s of the west come here in a:ny.' numbers. There is point in what the News says and in its further suggestion that the. Government give the subject attention. m The freight rate to -day from Buffalo to Liverpool on wheat arriving at Buf falo by lake is 114 cents per hundred- weight, Melt/ding all charges of tran- shipment from rail to boat at New York. From that portion of Ontario' lying nnrth of the main line of the Grand Trunk between Toronto and ;Sarnia, except those points on the Grand Trunk between Georgetown and All a,nda.le and Toronto and Barrie, the rate to Liverpool is 2,, cents per hand- redweight. From all points lying south on the mainline of the Grand Trunk and on the mainlinefroin Georgetown to Allendale and Toronto and 'Barrie, the rate to Liverpool. is 1% cents per hundredweight. From Toronto endd points east, tn(Audi ng the Midland line the rate to Liverpool is 1741 cents per hundredweight. Buffalo is, of 0005' , a, great. shipping •point, : and as a result lower rates can be secured from there than from smaller shipping points at the same distance from the Atlantic, but surely there is no good reason why the rates frontoints in Ontario which are nearer' to Montreal than Iiuffa10 is to New York should be almost double the Buffalo rate. \� Rain and sweat ' have ne effect on harness treated with Eureka Har.4 nese Oil.

Visitors to the Pa0-Alnerica0 have had the pleasure ancl privilege of, seeing the greatest aggregation 04 puce. heed stock over Drought together on this continent. The placing of the awards commenced on Dlondere, Sept. 16, and the judges had a busy Line of it until Wednesday ay night. The com- petition was very keen in nearly all Cusses and to celery off an e ward from the Pau-_imet'ican was an indication of more than ordinary merit. As with the swine the Canadians have showothe eattle breeders of the United States that they are foeman worthy of their steel, trod that alt they ask is.a>" fair field and ne favors. The bulk of the prizes in the Shorthorn class went to F1att, of Ha Inilton, Ont., Poland, of Grass Lake, Mich., and Greenway, of Manitoba. The Ayrshire prizesnearlyall event to 'Quebec, the home of the Canadian Ayrshires. The Canadian Holsteiries gave a goodaccount of themselves, tuned the sweepstake prize on the Hol- stein cow went to Tosco Pride, the pro- perty of ro-pertyof Geo. Rice, Currie's Crossing, Ont. G. W. Clemons, of St. George, Ont., was also'tbe winner of four first prizes in this class. Massey, of Toron- to, won the sweepstakes on his Guern- sey cow, "Pride of Dentonias." The Jerseys were not represented to any Visitors iuterested'in dairying have had a good opportunity of comparing the' cows in the Model Dairy barn with thosebrought here for exhibition pur- poses. 11Iany criticisms have been heard against the cows in the test as not being the best representatives of the va eious breeds which might have been gotten together for the test. A comparison with the show cows, how- ever, which are the pick and choice of the country,reveals the fact that while there may be a few individuals of su- perior merit l000ng the show cows, yet they do not averageup any better, nor nearly so well, as the cows in the dairy barn. The public must understand than it wasa very difficult thing to secure a number of cows which fulfilled all the necessary conditions of the test. Where some first-class cows would have been available they were either too long in milk or were again in calf. Again some owners had good sows that they would not put in the test on account of the loss that would be sus- tained in seeding them here for six or seven months. It was expected by many that the cows selected by the Holstein breeders of the United States would complete- ly overshadow the record -of the Hol- steins in the Model Dairy. A lot of the best Bolsteiues on the continent were chosen- by these breeders for a week's test at the Pan-American com- mencing Sept. 14th. This test is now u cel and it is disappointing to say the least. Fourteen cows commenced the test bet two were withdrawn. The heaviest milker produced over eighty pounds per day, but the test was low, the average being only 2.6 per cent for. the week, This cow produced 17 "u• lbs. of butter (85 per ceut. fat) which was the highest record of any coax in test. One cow's milk 1.8 per cent, for one milking. Average for the herd 14.:5 lbs. of but- ter containing 85 per cent. fat, which is the standard used in the model dairy test. The average for the >first four weeks of the Holsteins in the model - dairy was 12.8 lbs. of butter. These cows under the very best possible con- ditions have not done very much, bet- ter than the Holstein herd in the mod- el dairy. 'They were fed all they conld eab regardless of cost, among other good things being a:large amount of cabbage, which tended towards a large flow -milk. The conditions of the six -months' test were not satisfactory to the American Holstein breeders and they refused to go into the test as did also the Jersey /ben. The Guernseys were again in the lead last week as 0 herd, with the Jerseys second,but the standiug of the others is considerably changed again. The Holsteins are bolding on well and have stepped up to third place. -The standing of the breeds for profit over feed for the week ending Sept. cost of g 17th, is as follows: - Guernseys, $7.80; Jerseys, $7.86; Hol- steins, $7.14; Ayrshires, 86.46; Red Polls, $6.37; Shorthorns, 85.07; Brown Swiss, $5.70; French Canadians, $5.78; Polled Jerseys, $5.13; Dutch Belted, $8,86. The cost of producing a pound of butter makes an interesting table and stands as follows: ---French Canadians, 0.77 cents; Guernseys, 9.0; Jerseys,.10.3; Red Polls, 10.7; Ayrshires, 11.2; Polled Jerseys, 11.2; Holsteins, 11.7; Brown Swiss, 11.7; Shorthorns, 12.5; Dutch Belted, 13.7, The Guernsey, Mary Marshall, had to hand over the' sceptre to the Red.
