The meat is at least per cent finer than buffalo, too, partaking of the native wildness of that animal and the high blood of the polled Angus. The latter breed is black, which accounts for the uniform color of the cattieo. Out of both the skins and meat, therefore, it will be seen that if they thrive with anything like the certainty of domestic cattle there is plenty of money in it. But another thing has been discovered which was unlooked for, and that is that the cattieo are much larger than the buffalo. Two of Mr. Weavy's yearling cattieo now weigh over 1,100 pounds. One of the cattieo, too, oddly enough, is without horns. The cattieo show the heavy shoulders and stout neck of the buffalo, but not to any degree, by any means, of the latter animals. Altogether they are pretty and docile animals. 1 is object in bringing them to San Francisco was to exhibit them at the Fair and thus illustrate what 50 A NEW AND VALUABLE BREED OF ANIMALS BEING RAISED.

One year he raised as much 31 r. half-bree- half-blood- as 75,000 bushels, but later he retrenched. Four years ago he hit on the novel industry of raising cattieo, and now he sees much money in it. The reason for this is that both the meat and the skins are 91 one?" Despairing of making herself understood by word,, she pointed to the baby, at herself, and then shook her head.

She started on a run for the gate, but before she had opened it he came up, and asked: "Have to spank 'em once in a, while I supposed?" She made about twenty gestures in half a minute. As he helped to get the perambulator through the gate, he said: "Our children were all twins, and I'll send my wife down to you to give you some advice.
