types of figures GALLOWAYS FOR BEEF.Foiuta Scored l»>- Tl.I» Kaaged Breed of Cattle.In Fpeakiug of Gall»,ways, Frank B.Heartie of Missouri says: This hardy breed of beef cattle is doing well in America.They Lave not had the boom that has distinguished the pale faced Herefords, nor yet the widespread trial that has been given the popular Shorthorns.They have bad nothing to excel the smooth finished, shorn specimens of their black cousins, the Aberdeen Angus, who have a we ll deserved reputation, hut they have made good, sub.«tau-tial profits for those handling them, and they are becoming yearly more popular both on eastern farms aud westero \ i flit £ » GERHARD HEIN I TORONTO J galloway bull.ranches.They have fair records for butter in dairy districts, and have at tho shambles paid their purchasers better tbau any other breeds.Where they have been tried on western ranches they have done splendidly.Hardy and active, they roam far and wide for food aud water, and if these be scarce will feed on plants despised by other pure breeds.FTolifio and good mothers, they raise a largo percentage of calves and herd together more closely than any other breed.On the farm in tho east tiiev have made good progress and Lave paid their owners good profits.At the fa.: fairs in point of numbers, in tin* -1 ing and in excellence of exhibit they usually stand second only to the popular Shorthorns.In the feed lot th< are already dehorned, and can be h»ni» ! to getber like sheep, and for forced feeding in loose boxes they are found to he specially well suited.The quality of Galloway beef is a feature that the breeders bave npver brought to tho front, as they should have done.They put tho very best marbled beef on the most valuable parts.Quality is becoming a point more aud more noticed and valued.Recently at the Christmas show of tho Smitbfield club of London the directors made a now departure and offered prizes for the best and most valuable carcass of beef.In the ring, judging for the sweepstakes, the Galloway entries alive were hardly looked at.The crossbred Shorthorn Galloway bine gray steer ran neck and neck for first place, but tho real Galloways hardly gut the second glance from the judges.The same animals when killed and hung up captured four out of five prizes offered.Galloway beef is of the best quality.They are not as smooth as the Aberdeen Angus, not as massive us tho Shorthorn, but they kill better than either, and on the table are second to none.Careful experiments made at different agricultural colleges have shown that the Galloway makes beef at a low cost.On ordinary farms and in carefully watched feed lots tho same thing has been shown.This is the most important point in the battle of the breeds.We claim tho best beef at the lowest cost for the Galloway.Tho breed that can make the best beef for the least feed is tho one for the farmer.Some time ago at the Guelp Agricultural college a series of experiments was made as between the different breeds to determine cost of production.The animals were taken soou after birth aud were fed liberally—forced, in fact, as well as a good feeder could do.There were grade steers tried of several breeds, and the food each consumed was carefully noted.lu gain per day the Hereford came first, Shorthorn second and Holstein third.In this the Galloway stood fifth.In value when ready for tho block tho Hereford, Galloway aud Shorthorn were valued at same rate per pound live weight, all the others at a lower rate.Taking or- QALLOWAT COW.dlnary market values of all the food used, tho selling value of the animal, the Holstein grad® showed a loss of $8.22, the Shorthorn a loss of 21 cents, the Hereford a gain of $1.40 and the Galloway a clear profit of $15.15.Similar experiments made at other stations have shown the Galloways to be in the front rank of cheap beef production.Snch experiments require care and are too expensive for the ordinary farmer, but we should profit by the results, and from actual tebts the Galloway claims to make the best beef at the lowest cost.Texaa t'attle.Texas cattle are no longer the long horned, long legged beasth of former years.They have been so improved by crossing with the pure blood Hereford, Shorthorn and Galloway bulls that they now come into market as good grades and thousands of them are bought for export.Grass the year round and cottonseed meal to finish off these high grades make Texas a popular live stock state.—Live Stock.ULV FUTON.Dr H Arp* r, of Q t b©o, L>«p ctor of Nui er’nr Sth«*«»]»s psid hisannu i

7 15p.ru.—Owing to the dihtaiice embraced lu th»* oceiie of Sunday’s engagement, a temt-ci'cle of luby neveu teen miles, del it Is regarding individual lighting have been extremely difficult t > obtain.So far as can be gathered the brush commenced at 8:45 *>n Saturday evening, by the lining of a Nebraskiaii sentry at ^anta Mesa, upon Filip*nos who were deliberately crossing the line, after re pcated warnings, wuh the evident purpose o?drawing our lire.The tirsr sh ;ts from the American sen try evidently served for a signal, for th y • oliowed almost immediately by a terrioie ius.lade along the entire filipino line on t ie north side of the l*at*ig river.The American outposts returned the lire with such vigor that the Filipino fire was checked u .til the arrival of reinforcements All the troops in the vn unty were hurried out and the Filipinos ceased tiriugfor half an hour while their own re ioforceinents arrived.At 10o’clock the lighting was resumed, the American firing line cons.sting of the bird Ar illery, the Kansas a«id Montan* regiments, the Minnesota regiment, the Pennsylvania, the Nebraskians, the Utah battery, the Idahos, the Washingtons,the Caiiioiiiians, the Fourth Cavalry, North and 8outh Dakotas, Colnrados, Sixth Ar-til ery and Fourteenth Infantry.The Fil ipinos concentrated their forces at three points, Calocan, Santa Mesa, and Calm-gatan, a.id maintained an intermittent tusilade for some hours.They brought artiliery into action at Cilingatan at 10:50 but only one gun an] noyed the Americans to any appreciable extent, a howitzer on the road to Santa M sa.! he Third Artillery silenced the Galiogatan battery by tiring two guns simultaneously, which was followed immediately by volleys from the infantry.LULL IN THE Fi RING.At about midnight there was a lull in the firing, Dsting until 5:45 ij m , when the whole Filimno line re-opened tire.Tiie Americans poured a terrific lire into the darkness for twenty minu'es, at d then there was another lull until daylight, when the Americans generally advanced.During the night, in response to Rear Admiral Dewey’s signals tla-hed a .s-s across from Cavite, the United M»t« s cruiser Charleston and the gunboar Co.» cord, stationed at Matabon, poured » deadly fire from their secondary batteries into the Filipino trenches at Calocan At daylight the United States doubleturret sea-going monitor Monadnock opened tire ofl Malato and kept shelling the Filipino’s left flank while the other vessels shelled the enemy’s right ll ink for several hours.By ten o'clock the Americans had apparently routed the enemy and had taken the villages » f Paiawhong, Santa Me a, Paco, Santarii, San Pedro, Macorte, Pandocan and Pasai, had destroyed hundred of native huts and had secured possession of the water main and reservoir, a distance of over six miles.The Tennessee's joined the tirii g line at 10 o’clock Sunday morning and a'-sis-ted in capturing Santa Mesa.One of the most notable events of Sunday s w rk was driving the Filipinos out of the rebel stronghold af Paco by the reserve, a few companies of Californians commanded by Dutjoce.The main road to th * village was lined with native huts full of Filipiro sharpshooters.Aftei they ha 1 been firing upon General K«ng and fits staff, killing a driver, and tiring on an ambulance of the Red Cross Society Colonel Duhoce ordered the hu’s to be cleared and burned.DRIVEN FROM A CHURCH.The Filipinos concentrated in Paco church and convent where they made a determined stand in the upper stories.A platoon of Californians stationed on a iieigh’ioring bridge, maintained a hot fire on the Filipinos but was unable to dislodge th m.In the face of a terrific fus-iltde, Col ne!
