European Breeds Of Nent cattle IN
America.


Several Of the more valued breeds of neat
cattle were established early in the Old World,
and improved during the period spoken of. Ped
igrees began to be carefully looked after. The
first volume of the En9list Short horned Herd
book appeared in 1922, but its pedlgrees began
at about this period, or little earlier. only
thirty animals are recorded that liourished IN
1880 and earlier and while blood OF unrecorded
animals afterward came III, Tor present
purposes the pedigrees or all the
thousands of thoroughbred short-horns date
back to about that time, theoretically at least.
Precisely when the first importatlons OF thls
breed were made to this country ID uncertain.
1t is now believed that they occurred very soon
after the Revolutionary war, and there are IRA
ditions of several importations before loUo.
Soon after that date importations began in earn
est and have gone on ever since. Ihe nfst
volume of the american StOrt-horn Herd- BOOK
was published in 1916, the thirteenth last year,
| and in them are recorded some 33,ooU
| nedigrees Certain strains of this breed
| have thriyed peculiarly well here, and the sale
| of one herd, September 10, 1873, at New YORK
| Mills, was doubtless the most extraordinary cat
| tie sale that has ever taken place anywhere, al
| this sale 109 head sold for $4,000, or an aver
age of over 43500 per head, the higher prices
being 1000 for COW, and several s@old @
| for over 100000 each, cali but nVe
mouths old selling for $27,0O0. The
| Deyons were also introduced early, and pre-
vious to 1910 were imported more abuhdantly
| than the short-horns and have perhaps mad at
wide an influence on the improvement OF Amer
| ican cattle az the last-uamed breed, or even a
wider. Now all the more distinguished breeds
of.Europe are successfully bred here and some
| five or six of the moro numerous or important
have American herdbooks now published.
The effect of all this has been to enormously
| elevate the quality of American cattle and &c
competely has the mongrel or "natye" stock
been improved through these that in certain ag
ricultural societies where premiums are offered
for the best "natiyes" it is found that all that
are offered as such are, i'll fact, grades nav
or four generations. Even tho Spanish cattle OF
Texas and California are being rapidly changet
and improved through and by these better brecdf

THE PEACH BASKET BUs1NEss.-The peach
basket business has developed wonderfully
through the demands of the peach trade. Sew
eral years ago, when the manufacture OF
machine-made baskets commenced in this town,
the man or boy who could make 40 per day at G
cts. each was doing a wonderful days work.
Now we have boys who can put up 200 per day,
of the same kind of baskets, at II cents each.
One lad, Van Wrinkle, has standing wager that
he can put up $50 between suns" 1t is quite
probable, if the demand continues, that 5000 per
day will be made at the Worden mill here

looking for another steamer to supply the place
of the Pdlisade on the ferry route between that
town and this city. What amount of success has
been met with is not stated. But.woud it not
be well for the business men of Wilmington to
cooperate with the Pennsgrove people in this
effort? Where Is the Board of Trade Commit
tee on this subject, and what is it doing As
the Jersey people are now interested in the
matter of ferry communication it might be that
another effort of the Board of Trade Committee
