HE HURON EXPOSITOR.
1. • • • • • • •
trios. They have also, of late years,
6a good buyers of the general purpose
class; this and: the fall, in prices in
Britain, have brought the exporting
there almost to a standstill. We know
bora past experience that the Ameri-
cans are fickle, and changeable in their
hobbies and tastes, so that the safest
thing for us is to breed for the British
market. That prices are likely to get
better there, I have, no doubt. The
loge exportations this season from Brit-
ain, of stallions and mares to almost all
parts Of the world for breeding par -
poses, will enhance the value of ani -
• there. The tide will turn, and
theu is our epportunity if we have the
right thing to send. I say again, as I
bave often said; we in Huron are
raost favorably situated to make a
specialty of raising Heavy Draught
horses, our heavy rich Boil being em-
inently well adapted both to furnish
work and food suitable for heavy horses.
Fortunately for our farmers the enter-
prise of certain individuals in the
county hiss put the breeding of heavy
horses- within the reach of all by bring-
ing into the county, from time to time,
the best of heavy draught stallions.
Lower freights in future will be all in
our favor. If since 1871 the ocean rate
for bringing-ae stallion from Britain to
alontreal has fallen from E30 to £10,
we may expeot that very SOM1 from £4
to 18 per bead will pay for taking back
working horses as wen as there is any
number to send. But the Heavy
Draught horse is my hobby,- and. while
believing it to be the hobby the naa.jor-
ity of the farmers of Huron should ride
for some time to come, yet I think I
ean see money in other kinds as well.
For instance, my observations led me
to the conclusion that there is a very
great scarcity of well matched _carriage
horses in Scotland at the present time.
I had my attention called to a few
pairs of bays, standing 16i hands high,
.clean and good steppers; which brought
shoat £200 a pair. I had good mind
of the first and second prize carriage
horses at the Western Fair last year,
such would meet with a ready sale, and
they could have been bought then for
.frora $400 to $500 a pair: perhaps
some of our "fancy horse men" will
tare the hint.
From my stand point it is a much
More difficult matter to determine
which is the most suitable kind. of cattle
for us in Huron. to raise for export than
it is for horses. It appears to me, how-
ever, that we lAtve gone altogether too
far in the direction of heavy cattle, that
we have been sacrifieing quality at the
shrine of quantity. No doubt our love
of the Durham as being a docile, good
feeder and corning early to maturity,
has had something to do with this, and
the cattle buyers have had much to do
with it also, it being to their interest to
ship a large best in preference to a
smaller one, as they had. to pay as
much ocean freight for the one as the
other, hence the higher the grade of
Durharas, and the heavier and fatter,
all the better, as we and they thought;
bnt I have had a new revelation this
suminer, and after I state whit passed
-ander my own observation and. how
matters really are, all will be in a po-
sition to judge as to the most
suitable beef animal to raise for
the old country 'market. As far
as ocean rates. for cattle are con-
cerned, I think I have shown con-
clusively that it need give us no con-
-cern, as competition will brinotthings
to snit us in any shape. Last July, in
the Glasgow cattle market, I saw good,
well bred Durham steers, weighing
about 1400 pounds, that the farixier in
Ontario received for at the the rate of
6i CaltS per pound, live weight, sold,
under the auctioneer's hammer,for £22,
or, as they calculate there, at about the
rate of 50 shillinas per hundredweight
of dressed beef. bOn the same day, at
the same place, I saw Polled Angus,
Galloway, and. hallbredAyrshire and
Durham cattle, weighing from 1,000 to
1,100, pounds, sold for frone £18 to £19
10s.and even 120,or,at their calculation,
at the rate of sixty shillings per hun-
dredweight of dressed beef. Those
latter animals were not, as we under-'
stand it, fat at all, but were small -
boned, smooth -and handled well. I had
sora&conversation with a Mr. Swan, a
veteran auctioneer, and he told me
that as a general thing such cattle as I
saw sold that day for from £18 to £20,
weighing from 1000 to 1100 pounds, and
of the right quality, brought from 10 to
• 15 shillings more per hundredweight
than our high grade fat Canadian steers;
and, moreover, he wondered reach that
we persisted in sending that quality of
cattle. "Our better classes," he said,
"are too faatidious to eat your patching
fat, grade Durhams ; it i goes to the
poorer classes, to salt dotsla to victual
ships, and to the sausage and mince-
meat factories, Who buy i t for from
three pence to five pence cheaper per
pound than the other of good quality."
I found all this confirmed, and more
than confirmed, by finding in butcher
shops that American beef was selling at
from five pence to seven, pence per
pound, and the other at from nine pence
to a shilling. I found the Same stateof
matters in the Edinburgh market, and
even to a greater extentat,St. Boswell,
in the south of Scotland, said to be one
of the largest cattle markets in the
British Islands.
With regard to she ep, exactly the
same state of things prevails. The
mall Yorkshire Leicester, the Hamp-
shire, Oxford and Southdowns, and the
black -faced hill sheep bring more in the
market per pound than the Cotswold,
Lincoln and. Border Leicester, the lat-
ter three breeds standing in the same
relation to mutton as the Durhams do
'a:pleat. As our cousins across the line,
with their customary fickleness, have
ceased to buy and use our long wools for
combing in the adulteration of silks,
and fine wool being best for domestic
use, and also for our own manufac-
turers, our interest certainly is to drop
the long wools as soon as possible. I
am decidedly of the opinion that the
Downs are the future sheep of Ontario.
As regards the best breeds Of cattle to
raise, with all the facts . before them,
our farmers must judge for themselves.
I know it will be hard to get over the
prejudice ia favor of the Durham, al-
though all aclmit that they take extra
food and care to bring them through a
Canadian, winter, so much BO that they
have not even yet dome into general
use with the majority of the average
Canadian farmers; therefore I have no
hesitation in coming to the conclusion
that a dash of somethipg smaller and
hardier would be better all round. To
give an idea of the extent of the fresh
Meat trade with Britain and its in3por-
tance, I quote frorci an old country
newspaper: "For the week ending tile
19th day of Atignet last there was de4
livered, in Liverpool alone, 1,808 catt e
2,860 sheep, 4,748 quarters of beef, an
453 carcases of mutton, all from In
United btates and Canada,in one week.'
To get hold of the largest and be4
share of snob a trade is surely woethet
of the very best efforts of the farmers of
Ontario. There is money in it if
properly managed.
I have thus, and at perhaps greater
length than I intended at the outset,
endeavored to show, to BOrae extent,
our position and prospects in relation
to British markets. I hope these let-
ters may do something in the way of
calling greater attention to a subject of
such importance. Thanking you, Mr.
Editor, for your kindness in affordiag
me space in your columns to have a
chat with my brother farmers on such
topics. I am, yours very truly,
HuGli LOVE, SR.

[ER0111 THE NEW ERA.]
HORSE DIED. --en Tuesday morni g
one of Mr. W. W. Farran's Gold D st
mares ,waS found dead. It was 11
right the night before.
CLOSED.—The Holmesville Ca
meeting closed on Monday last. It as
carried on for about ten days and s
visited by thousands of people.
CATTLE SOLD.—At the Toronto x-
hibition last week Messrs. H. Snell &
Son sold a thoroughbred bull calf t a
Halton gentleman, and a yearli . g
heifer to a Peterboro gentleman, both at
good figures-. The Messrs. Snell al o
took first prize for a yearling Durh m
bull and third 'for a three year ot d
heifer. _
GOOD EloesEs.-Last week Ame l-
oans . from Toledo, Ohio, purchased a
car load of splendid horses in t is
vicinity, among them being a hea y
draught team, bought of Mr. Da'd
Walker, Tuckersraith, at $450; la m i e
bought of Mr. George Pope, Hallett, t
$240, and a team from Mr. McDoug
Goderich township, at $440.
RETURNED. — Messrs. Thomas a
Wm. Bell, Henry Beadle and W. Sri
of Hallett, who went to the old cou
try a few weeks since, have arriv
home with horses purchased wh
away. ' Mr. Thomas Bell had secur
the best two year old he could find
Scotland, but' unfortunately it died
the loya,ge. Wm. Snell brought a fi
and six Southdown sheep. The wea
er was very stormy and rough.
BARN BURNED.-Aboub 5 &clock ' n
Friday afternoon last, the barn f
Messrs. Baskerville, on the 16th cone s-
sion of Goderich toWnship, on what is
known as the "Ab, Nesbitt Farm," N 8
burned to the ground. Rain' was stea.
ily falling when the fire was discovere.;
there had been no lightning to str e
the barn, and what causedthe fire ie a
mystery, as no one had been around 0e
place for Some time. A person who o
drove past after the barn had just .4,4n
burned, saw a tramp Bitting by «e
roadside near the premises,but whet er
he had anything to do with its barn ill g
is a mere conjecture. The barn cen-
tained all this year's crop, and the lIss
will fall heavy on the boys, who, it is
said, had no insurance. $1,500 will ot
cover the loss.
