WHAT BREEDlNG MEANS.

Things Which Every Stock Raiser Ought
to UWfl'vlioroughly.

whstisbreeding bdeedion? Itis based ‘

anhmdity. We use another word. p0-
tency or prepotency. Mr. Wylie spoke
of. inbreeding. as establishing potency.
Thelewi‘sthomosit'wonderfully inbred
mimofallmenonearth. He has been
inbred from the very dayhe leftthe
Egyptians. You may breed him with
anymoeonearthnnd the child'willbe
a Jew mum anything else. Now
those are principles that apply right
here, just the saihe with animals as with
men. Whatis the reason for that? Be-
cmetheJew-hasestablished a typeso
potently and powerfuny that the mo-
ment the current of his blood strikes the
cunentof other blood the Jew current
takes Won of the other, and the re4

~ sult‘isa Jew. Now that is a valuable
thing to study-on; that is the meaning
of pedigree.

Some men sneer at pedigree and say
that it is worth nothing. Pedigree has
a long-number of agreeing bloods behind
it in line. Men need not only a good
specimen of the individual animal, but
they need a long line of fathers and
mothers of the same line characteristics,
so that there is a constant agreement
and augmentation and enlargement of
the functions for which the breeding is
done. It is a well known fact today
that if a Texas steer is given a quarter
of a bushel of corn meal as his ration,
and you take a Shorthom steer and feed
him the ’same quantity, you will get
very different results. Why? Because
the power to assimilate food and pro-
duce meat has been bred into the Short-
horn and by a constant, slow process
built up.

The Texas steer has not been bred for
anything except to get over the, ground,
and I know by experience that he cando
that. Ioncehadsoo 0f themchase me
two miles across a prairie, and if a man
is to be judged by the enthusiasm of his
following, I was the most popular. man
ever seen in Texas. Now, there are cer-
tain principles that I want to bring out
in order to show‘thata farmer needsto
study them. Why! Because his money ,
and his living and'his profits are in-the‘se
animals, and yet he seems to'think that
nobody but the breeder. ought to study
breeding. Why, the farmeristhe-man
that is to makethemoncy out of the
farm. It is the average farmer that has
to produce the animals of the country,
not the breeder. Therefore the average
farmer should be just as wise in produc-
ing a good animal as the breeder. He
should be a breeder.

Now, take dogs, for instance. They
are a favorite illustration of mine be-
cause it is so clear on the question of
heredity. Take asetter and a foxhound;
both have noses equally sharp. And yet
hundred of years back wise men _
to breed one dog to smell birds alone,
andtheother to smell four footed ani-
mals alone, and so well have they suc-
ceededthat the setter dog is. almost 0b.
livious to any other scent than the scent
of the bird.

You do not find dog. men acting as
foolishly as farmers. No boy 15 years
old would ever undertake to go hunting
foxes with a bird dog or birds-with a.
foxhound or either with a bulldog.
And yet we have thOusands and thou-
sands of farmers who are trying tomake
butter with beef animals and trying to
make beef with butter animals. The
average production of our cows is a dis-
grace. I tell you, _my friends, it is not
feeding so much today as it is intelligent
shaping of these animals for a purpme.

An old man jumped up in an institute
and said, “You may talkas much as you
have a mind to about. it, I say the breed
is in the corncrib,” one of these truths
that are partly true; and yet not true. I
said, “If youryvordsmean anything at
all, they mean that you don’t pay any
attention to breed, but everything to
feed.” “Yes,” he said, “that's right.”
“Very well,” said I, “you are the man I
have been hunting for for years. You
have got ashort cut to mocess, and'I
want to get it. It doesn‘t make an dif-
ference what the breed is,.it is all in the
feed?” “That’s it,” he said. “Very
well,” said I, “do you remember that
razor back hog we had here thirty or
forty years ago?” “Oh, yes,” he said.
"Now,” I asked, “how would you feed
thathog‘so auto makeaPo'land China

"of him?” He looked alittle angered.
I added, “Howwouldyou feeda r809.-
horneto makea drafthors'e outof it?
How would you feed. a-Jersey cow to
make a Hereford out of it?" “Well,"- he
replied, “you may talk as much as you
are a mind to, but I believe just‘what I
said.” Now don't you see that too many

the difierence in the result. , What is it
that turns the result at like aswitch
down these diflerent tracks? What is it
that takes the same car and shoots it
upon one track or another? It is breed.

Now one of these disadvantages that
we labor under as farmers is that we
are not suflcientlyeducated up to the
idea of a thoroughbred sire. ‘ The thor-'
oughbred sire is the sire that has re-‘

‘ceived, like the river, a lot of streams
from the mountains on either side run-
ning into him to swell the potency of
his blood, and that all in one line. A
thoroughbred sire is so full of prepo-
tency that he impresses himself upon his
progeny. For instance, breed a native
cow with a thoroughbred Holstein bull;
he has had soma'ny years of breeding
in a distinct line that he invariably
marks his calves black and white, and
will continue to do so to the end , of
time—Governor W. D. Hoard.

In Holland there are goose farms on
which may be found as many as 6,000
geese. They are near Amsterdam, and

 

are as important and profitable as a
sheep ranch in America.

“Fairer no flow’re’er bloomed, love," she said,
“Love's roses are fadeless, I know."
. Wild birds sang—
Brld e bells rang,
With the twlllght’s tender glow,
“From the morrow,
Banish sorrow.
For Love‘ 5 roses fadelcss blow.
Skies are blue—-
Hearts are true—"
Sang she still.iu reverie.
While the even’
Stars in Heaven
Blossomed silently.
Sang she soft and low.
“Fadeless roses blow.” .

“Only to see thee, my darling, again."
Sadly a maiden sang low,
“Only to love thee in pleasure and pain—-
Love's roses are fadcless I know."
Sad birds sang— ‘
. Death bells rang
With the morning’s dreary dawn.
For the morrow,
Bringeth sorrow,
When Love's roses are all gone.
Skies are gray.
But Love alway
Linger’s in the malden’s breast,
‘ Where rcposes, ‘
Fadeless roses,
Blooming sweetly blest.
Sings she soft and low.

Chinese Post Offices.

It is not to be imagined that a. veritable
nation of shopkeepers Ill:n the Chinese
would remain, owing to the refusal of
their Government to convey their corre-
spondence, destitute of a postal service.
They have, indeed, a very complete system
of their own entirely independent of the
State. In every town of any size may be
seen ten or a dozen shops with the sign,
“Hsin Chu,” letter office, or postal estab-
lishment, suspended outside. Their busi-
ness is to carry not letters only, but small
parcels, packets of silver, and the like,
usually to other towns in the same
province, but also on occasion to other
provinces. They are, in fact, general car-
riers, or, perhaps, it would be fairer to
say, they occupy much the same position
in 'China now as did the “agents" at
Harwlch or Dover of the Postmaster
General at the beginning of the eigh-
teenth century—so miscellaneous are the
packages committed to their charge.

They have no fixed tariff varying accord-
ing to weight, and there appears to be no
limit, withinreason,‘ to the size of letters
or parcels they will carry. The charge for
letters is fairly constant, but in estimating
the cost of conveyance of parcels the size
and shape alone seem to be taken into ac-
count. A rough calculation is then made,
which the sender is at liberty—if he can——
to abate. In fact, the transmission of
parcels is regarded as being quite as
much a matter of bargaining as the pur-
chase of a pig. As there is no monopoly,
each Post Office tries to underbid its
rivals, and competition sometimes verges
on the ludicrous. Since the institution of
female Post Oflice clerks in England, how
many complaints (doubtless quite ground-
less) have there not been from would-be
purchasers of stampswho have been kept
waiting at the counter while the Postmis-
trees and her assistant compared notes on
last Sunday’s fashions?

In China this deplorable state of things
is reversed. There each Post Office has

- its touts, who go rounds at very short in-
tervals to each place of business to beg

for the privilege of forwarding their let-
ters. The bankers are the best customers,
and as post time draws near. (post time
is fixed at the ports by the departure of
the local steamer,) you will see a tout en-
ter a bank and interrupt the clerks with
an entreaty to be allowed to convey the
letters they have not copied. He is dis-
missed for half 1m hour, and meanwhile
two or three rivals will appear with the
same request. The lucky man is he who
happens to come in as the letters are
sealed—The Cornhill Magazine.

A Family Shave.

A Maine family consists of slx brothers

so exactly alike that no one but their
closest friends can tell which is which.
One day they happened to "be in a strange
town and all wanted a shave. One of them’
went into a barber shop, was shaved, and
paid the customary 10 cents. Five min-
utes later apparently the same man came
back into the shop, very wrathy, his beard
bristling with a three days’ growth. He
swore that he had not been half shaved,
and demanded that the work be done
over. '
The astonished barber apologized and
complied, but judge of his horror when not
ten minutes later his customer came back
madder than ever, his beard still showing
on his face, and demanded another shave.
Again the barber, after some protest,
complied. but when his man returned the
fourth time it was too much.

“See here !” he cried, “.f you're tryingto
sell me some patent hair-raiser I‘ll take
your whole stock, but if you are an es-
caped museum freak, either you've got to
get out or I’ll have to close this shop."

The fifth and sixth brothers had to pay
for their shaves—Buffalo Express: '

When Your Head In 01, -

As human curiosity has never been sat-
lsfled as to the precise moment of death
In cases of beheading, the account of the
experiment on- a decapitated criminal
communicated to a French medical jour-
nal by a leading scientist of Lyons is of
absorbing interest. This time the results
are more satisfactory than has hitherto
been the case; the doctor making-the
following» statement with regard to
the manifestations of consciousness
after the'head had been separated from
the body: 1. That the head, on being
separated from the body, remains, in pos-
session of all its faculties, if the'hemor-
rhage does not pass certain limits. 2. The
proportion of oxygen in the blood is suffi-
cient for keeping up the nervous functions
for a brief space, never exceeding a half-
minute. 3. That the repeated opening
and closing of the jaws after the separa-
tion of the head from the body are noth-
ing but the reflex action common in cases
of acute asphyxia—St. Louis Republic.

A Personal Reflection.

“Miss Hijee didn’t, sing to-day,” re-
marked a friend to the leader of the choir
at the Church of the Offertory.

“No, she’s resigned.”

“I thought she had a good place. What
was the trouble?" ,

“She was offended about the selection of
an anthem which she had to lead off last
Sunday, and vowed she’d resign sooner
than sing it, and she did.” .

“That’s odd. What was the anthem?"

“It began. ‘I have been young and now
am old."—-Epoch.

She Was Right.

A teacher asked a girl how many bones
there were in her body, and her answer
was 208. .

“Wrong; there are only 207,"sald the
teacher. .

“Yes'm,” wasthe triumphant response.
“but I swallowed a fish bone t0-day.—

. DYING HUANACOS.

 

An Instinct that Makes ' them See)! a

Final Resting Place.

It is well known that at the southern ex-
tremity of Patagonia the-huanacos have
a dying place—a. spot to which all the in-
dividuals inhabiting the surrounding
plains repair at the approach of death to
deposit their bones. ’

Darwin and Fitzroy first recorded this
strange instinct in their personal narra-
tives, and their observations have since
been fully confirmed by others.

The best known of these (lying or burial
places is on the banks of the Santa Cruz
and Gallegos rivers, where the river
vall' ye are covered with dense primeval
tthkv'IS of bushes and trees of stunted
growth. There the ground is covered
with bones of countless dead genera-
tions. ‘

“The animals,” says Darwin, f‘in most
cases must have crawled, before dying,
beneath and among the bushes.”

A strange instinctin a creature so pre-
emineutly social in its habits, adweller all
his life long on the open, barren plateaus
and mountain sides.

What a subject for a painter! The gray
wilderness of dwarf thorn trees, aged and
grotesque and scanty leaved, nourished
for a thousand years on the bones that
whiten the stony ground at their roots,the
interior lit falnzly with the rays of the de-
parting sun, chill and gray, and silent and
motionless—the huanaco’s Golgotha.

In the long centuries stretching back
into the dim immeasurable past, so many
of this race have journeyed hither from
the mountains and the plain to suffer the
sharp pang of death, that, to the imagin-
ution, something of it all seems to have
passed into that hushed and mournful

nature. And now, once more, the latest.

pilgrim has come, all his little strength
spent in his struggles to penetrate the
close thicket, looking old and gaunt and
ghostly in the twilight, with long, ragged
hair, staring into the gloom out of death-
dimmed sunken eyes.

One artist we have who might show it
to us on canvas, who would be able to
catch the feeling of such a scene—of that
mysterious, passionless tragedy of nature
—the painter, I mean of. “The Prodigal”
and “The Lioness Defending Her Cubs.”

To this account of the animal’s dying
place and instinct Darwin adds:

“I do not at all understand the reason of
this, but I may observe that the wounded
huanacos at the Santa Cruz invariably
walked toward the river."-—Longman’s
Magazine.

\‘Vhere Flesh Turn: to Stone.

The character of the soil in and around
Rapid City, S. D., has a peculiar and mar-
velous property, a wonderful character-
istic which completely controverts the
Biblical injunction, “Dust thou art, and to
dust thou shalt return.” .

For the‘Jast fifty years the “Bad Lands,”
lying seventy-five miles to the southeast
of the little city above mentioned. has
been the wonderland of America, it being
a locality unequaled in the world as a re-
ceptacle for petrefactions of animals of
both the land and water kind. But the
wonders of the “Bad Lands” are equalled
in one respect at least, by the mineral
saturated soil at Rapid City. '

True, petrfactions of remote geological

ages are not found in such profusion at,

Rapid City as they are farther South, but
what is equally as wonderful, human
bodies which have reposed but a short
time in the soil of those South Dakotean
hills are transformed intg statues of stone
as hard as the hardest marble. -.

But few of these last resting places have

been disturbed, and those only when"

friends thought it absolutely necessary:
however, in each case the same peculiar-
ity was exhibited—St. Louis Republc.

N onh’s Ml sforl un'e.

A Sunday school teacher not a thousand
miles from a certain church in Detroit,
has a wife with a rich father, who is a very
convenient m-ticie to go housekeeping on.
Not many Sundays ago he asked the worst
boy in his class \\ hat he knew about the

“No. no,” in a vexed tone;

“Flood of “but?” asked the boy.

“Water. of course.”

“Oi-:41," said the boy in doubtful ao-
knowledgment of his information.

“Yes; Noah’s flood when he lived for
forty days on water.”

“Nothing but water?” queried the boy,
wonderingly.

“That’s all. It was water everywhere."

“And he lived on it' all that time?"

A Snake’s Tough Meal.

A gentleman, who vouches for the abso-
lute truth of the story, sends the follow-
ing from Belleville, Mlfllln county: A
neighbor of his recently discovered a
blacksnake, three and one-half feet long,
in his chickenyard, and promptly dis-
patched it. It was noticed there u as quite
a large lump in the body 'of his snake ship
and a post-mortem examination being
madeit was. found that the snake had
swallowed an egg made out of clay,
painted and burned white. It was larger
than the ordinary hen egg and as hard as
stone. How the reptile would have suc-
ceeded in digesting it is one of the un-
solved problems. It was evidently a nest
egg which had been stolen from some-

.body’s barn.—Alt00na Tribune.

A Tricycle Railway Car.

A novel form of locomotive and passen-
ger car has been invented, by the use of
which it is.propoeed to run between im-

of an additional rail placed in the centre
of the present permanent way, upon
which ,l'uns doublevflanged :whecls. This
centre a heel carries the weigxt of the car
on the middle rail, tlwrc b‘ing bearing
wheels with safety device on the outer
rails, which enables curves to be made
without disturbing the action of the
