The Brussels Post, 1890-8-8, Page 1Volume 18. Whet are the best Beefing nreetls in the Province ? Profeseor Shaw, of the Ontario Batter. imentea Farm, wrath to the London Ad- vertiser as follows: A. contest is now being carried on at this institution, the results of which should prove of much interest, and, it is hoped, deo, of =oh value to the farmers of this Dominion. Grade calves have been eelected, wbere they oeuld be obtained, of the various beefing breeds and also of those that are said to be good for both beet and dairy purposes, with a view of aeoertaining the coot of keeping them, both relatively end individually, until they are measurably matured. Representatives have been ob- tained for the centest of the Shorthorn, Hereford, Aberdeen, Angns, Galloway, Devon, Holstein and "scrub," or native creases. They are all froin pedigreed sires except the sorub. This last was se. leoted in Quebec Province and possesses none of the blood of the improved breeds. They are all being fed from the pail on new milk for a time. Other food is add. ed as soon as required. It is the inten- tion to have them fed all the food they need for quick and early development, said to sell them when about 2t years old. They are not allowed to go out at all ex- cept for exercise in the yard, The food is all woefully weigbed for, earth animal, and they are oleo weighed singly every month, exact records being kept in oath instance. Many important lessons should be learned from this experiment. The conc. parade° gains per month will make known the relative maturing capacity of thelinimals, and also that period when the largest returns are obtained front the food fed. It should also determine whether it will pay at all to raise beef under these conditions, and more parti- cularly whether it will pay to feed calves intended ultimately for tale block on a liberal ration of new milk. The value of the experiment will also be increased by the Mot Unit one animal additional is being reared under conditions precisely 'similar, except that it is being fed skim milk instead of whole milk. For many years it has been stoutly affirmed by the advocates of the different breeds in the contest Bait one or another was the most profitable for beef.making. Representatives of most of them have been shown time and again at leading ex- hibitions with varying success. So far as their relative merits are concerned, therefore, we know about as meet as we did when they were first introduced. Hence it oannot be unimportant to deter. mine which of these breeds is best adapt- ed to stall•feeding purposes, if this can be determined, and I think it can. It ciannot be determined, however, by a single experiment, nor perhaps by a second or third, though conducted on pre. daftly the same lines, owing to the mark. ed difference which individuality and in. herited qualities generally have upon the progress of an animal. Because of these things it ia intended that tbe experiment shall be repeated over and over amain, until suth that is conclusive and reliable is obtained from it for the guidance of the farmers of this Dominion. There is one point, however, wherein the experiment is liable to be assailed by hostile critic:dam It is perbaps at pres. ent its weakest point. If seine animals in the contest leave others behind, a re. anti which is inevitable, it may be alleg. ed that the speoimens chosen are not equally repreeentative; that is, that Borne W000 more highly bred and better also individually ou the start. We 018 10100. elly anxious to strengthen this point, and with this object in view I now appeal to the associations representing the different breeds to soled animals from year to year for this contest. Where A. breed is not represented by an assodation in the Dominion I hope those who are interest- ed in the advancement of their favorites will select the animate for us. The conditions of selection are : 1. The animal chosen must be the off- spring of a pure sire. 2. It must be the first cross of a pure sire and an ordinary grade female. 3. It should reach this station during the months of Ootober, November and December, and within a few days of birtb. 4. Exact particulars must be given so far as known in regard to lineage, Many farmers in tide country have al. leged that serub or native stock are equa• lly good with those purely bred. They Bey that the difference is mainly one of feeding. An opportunity is now given them of verifying the cotreetnese of these essemptions, which I have no doubt many of them who have strong faith in the merits of the scrub will select a good representative of the breed from year to enter this contest. The fist and reoond conditions mentioned above de not apply in this case, but instead it is required that there shall be no admixture of improved blood. I ask that thie appeal ehall receive careful conaideration from those directly interested. They have it eatily within their power to select such animals as are exactly suit- able. We cannot always do this with. out much merino° of time and large and unnetwesery outlay. If those to whom I now appeal fail to make the seleotisna naked for, they will surely ,00nsider it tkeir duty to keep silent in regard ti the suitability of these which of recessity we will then heve to seleet orneelvea.

(Prom our Regular Oorreepondent.) WAsnummort, July 25, '90, The outlook for the Federal elections bill ie not as hopeful as it appeared two weeks since, and it has ceased to be the bugbear of legislation. But little has been done with the bill sinoe the Met oaucue of Republican Senators. It is be- ing dallied with, but the impetus that was given by the hand of Speaker Reed and his Republican associates has been lost, and there is not propelling power enough in the &Mate to get it into motion again. The estimates most favorable to thr passage of the bill is that thirty-five Republican Senators prefer to have it pitssed, leaving twelve who are either absolutely opposed to it or in- different to its fate. One-half of this number represents those who would vote against the proposition to change the rules, and as the ohange moat be niade if tbe bill is to be passed in time to be effective at the coming election an al. most uneurmountable barrier ie pre. sented. While this reason has operated to prevent the pushing of the bill to a position where it could be taken up at the &at favorable opportunity, the ohief reason which has led to the conolueion that the bill is praotioally abandoned is that there is a wide difference of opinion on the part of the majority as to whether it is better to pass tbe elections bill or a re -apportionment bill. Both cannot be passed, and perhaps neither, but there are plenty of Republioana who prefer an apportionment bill which would tend to make the next five Congresses oertainly Republican, to a bill, the effects of whioh can only be conjectured, with the pro- bability that they would be the wide re• opening of the °ham. The Democratio Senators are not caucusing any, but they have a policy which so fer proved better than any other idea that could have been adopted, namely, to proceed just as no bill had been thought of in counection with Federal eleotione. This plan was seggested by Senator Gorman, on the principle that so long as the Republicen Senators did not know whet the Demo - crate were going to do they would not know what to do themselves. The most confueing and alarming statements have been made in regard to the condition of the Oneness of the oountry as they will be found after the legislation of the present Congress takes effect. Counter statements have been made to the effect that all is well, and that there will be no deficit. Amid con- flicting opinions almost any inferenoe can be drawn, but a elate and pe0011 proper- ly used in conneotion with the following feats will go a great ways in eluoidating the problem. The ligures all relate to the present fiscal year. The eavaaaaa from all sources under existing laws will be g450414000; the appropriabinns, an- nual and permanent, including the sink- ing fund, 0462,628,463. There Li a, sur. plus of 050,000,000. In round numbers the surplus will, therefore, be reduced to 038,000,000 by the end of the fiscal year, but there will still be a surplus. If the McKinley bill passes, and reducers the revenues 050,000,000, as proposed, there will be a deficit of 012,000,000. To off- set this the sinking fund sot oan be sus- pended, whioh will leave in the Treasury 049,000.000, It will be observed that if the estimated revonuen under the Mo. Kinley bill are an stated, the Republioene oan hey° either a deficit of 012,000,000 or it surplus of 037,000,000, depending on whether they continue or vote to suspend the sinking fund, As a matter of fact nobody can tell within millione what afoot the McKinley bill would have upon revenues, bnt it is dear that the question of deficit or surplus depends purely upon what is done in raped to the sinking fend. As a mere matter of informa• tion it may be stated that the increase of appropziatione over last year will be at least 067,260,003. The appropriations to be meet under the dependent pension act are not included, and will not be made until neat session. With England insisting that, priding negotiations, the seizing cruisers must be kept out of Baring Bea, and with the United States insisting that, pending negotiations, the poaohing sealers must be kept out, Red with oath government parapothing the others suggestions, no. getiations themselves were at a stand• still hist month. The verbal wrangle has been resumed again, but it is evident that fora portion of last month the goy- ernmente were too far apart even to wrangle, and that the atherances of con- tinued peaceful and hopeful negotiations which confronted the rumor of strained relations between the two governments must have been intended to bo under - Mood in a Piekwickien and diplomatic 'sense. No ono must speak 10 a disparaging or clop eoiatory vein of the United States eurples. The surplus is the netted de. Iffiant of American' politics, uo matter vhieh party is hi power.
