RESOLUTIONS ON PED1GRxEs.

AT the late National Silorthorn Conven-
ton much discussion ensued upon the sub.
.ject Of pedigrees, 1t has been a vexed
question since the organization of the socie-
ty. Hon. 7. G.. Jones, of Ohio. offered a
set of resolutions which We're referred to a
committee of which General Desha WAS the
chairman, who reported favorably upon all
except the second. These We're to be con-
side,ea as rules governing the registry of
pedigree in the Shorthorn Herd Books, and
were as follows:
l. All animals imported from Great Brit
ain aud Ireland whose pediglees arc record
ed or entitled to re cord in Coates Herd
Book are entitled to registry in the Ameri-
can Herd Books.
2. All other Shorthorns whose pedigrees
show no less than seven crosses OF bulls du-
y registered, tracing iii all their crosses to
Imported Stlorthorils. or bulls showing sew
en such crosses are entitled to registry i'll
the Herd Books.
B. Ihe re-entered pedigrees shall state the
name, color, date of birth, the name of the
breeder, the name and residence of the own
er or the party sending the pedigree for
record.
4. Bulls may be registered at any age, but
shall not be registered a second time, unless
to correct al error in the first entry, in
which. cass the pedigree shall be entered in
full, with a new lumber, so that subsequent
reference may be had to the corrected pedi-
gree.
0. Cows are not to be registered until
they have produced living progeny, when
the pedigree shall be entered in full. as in
the case OF bulls, and the progeny under the
dam, with color, date OF birth, name of the
sire and breeder, and cows may be re-en-
tered after the birth of subsequent progeny.
With abbreviated pedigree aud the progeny
With reference to the original entry.
Each rule being voted upon separately

WILL HE SUCCEED?

In nine cases out of ten, mans
life will not be a success if he does
not bear burdens in his childhood. Ii
the fondness or the vanity of father
or mother have kept him from hard
work if another always helped him
out at the end of his row; if instead
of taking his turn at pitching off, he
slowed away all the time; in short,
if what was light always fell to him,
and what was heavy about the same
work to some one else if he has been
permitted to shirk until Sinking has
become a habit, unless a miracle has
been wrought, his life will be a failure,
and the blame will not be half so much
his as that of his weak and foolish
parents.
On the other hand, if a boy has
been brought up to do his part, never
allowed to shirk any legitimate re-
sponsibility, or to dodge work,
whether or not it made his head ache,
or soiled his hands, until bearing bur,
dens, has become a matter of pride,
the heavy end of the wood his choice,
parents as they bid him goodbye may
dismiss their fear. The elements OF
success are his, and at some time in
some way the world will recognize his
capacity.

A FARM ROLLER.

Agricultural writer's for nearly a
century back have extolled the field
roller as one of the most essential i'm
plements of the farm, and farm ex-
perience has substantiated the many
claims made for it. For crushing
clods and humps, thus performed one
of the most important functions in
preparing a good bed for the recep-
ton of seeds, the roller has no efficient
substitute. The harrow and brush
are well in their way, but in some
conditions of soil are of comparative
ly little use. Rolling after seeding
effects a purpose equally important,
as the ROLLER brings finely pulverized
soil in direct contact with the seed,
rendering examination certain and
rapid. By the use of the roller, land
seeded down to meadow is made
level, and in admirable shape for the
mower and horse rake. Pasture land
is left smooth, slightly and fitted for
an even luxuriant growth of grass. In
a season of drouth, land that has been
thoroughly rolled will suffer far less
than that of the same quality unrolled
for it better resist evaporation. The
enlightened farmer of to-day would as
soon think of dispensing with his
drills and c%ultivators Us his field
roller.

HOW TO BE HANDSOME.

Most people would like to be hand
some. Nobody denies the great
power which any person may have
who has a handsome face and attracts
you by good looks, even before a
word has been spoken. And we see
all sorts of devices in men and women
to improve their looks.
Now, all cannot have good features
they are as God made them-but
almost any one can look well, especi-
ally with good health. 1t is hard to
give rules in a very short space, but
in briet these will do.
Keep clean-wash freely. All the
skin wants is leave to act freely, and
it takes car of itself. Its thousands
of air holes must not be closed.
Eat reagularly and sleep enough
not too much. The stomach can no
more work all the time might and day,
than a horse. 1t must have regular
work and rest.
Good teeth are a help to good looks.
Brush them with a soft brush, especi-
ally at night. Go to bed with cleansed
teeth. Of course, to have white teeth
it is needful to let tobacco alone. ALI
women know that. Washes for the
teeth should be very simple. Acid
may whiten the teeth, but 1t takes of
the enamel and Injuries them.
Sleep In a cool room, in pure air
No one can have a clearly skin who
breathes bad air. But more than all,
in order to look well, wake up mind
and soul.
When the mind is awake the dull
sleepy look passes away from thu
eyes. 1 do not know that the brair
expands, but it seems SO. Think, ant
read, not trashy novels, but book
and papers that have something il
them. Talk with people who know
something hear lectures, and Learn
by them.
Men say they cannot afford books
and sometimes do not even pay for
newspaper. In that case it does then
little good, they feel sc mean whil'
reading them. But men can affort
what they really choose. If all tn
money spent in self-indulgence, il
hurtful indulgence, was spent il
books or papers for self-improvement
W should see a change. Men woul'
grow handsome, and women too. Tn
soul would shine out through tn
eyes. We were not meant to be mere
animals. Let us have boaes an,
read them, and sermons and hee'
them.

Work FIRST; THEN PLAYA man
who is very rich now was very poor
when he was a boy. When asked how
he got his riches, he replied, s'My fa-
ther taught me never to play till all
my work for the day was finished, and
to spend money till 1 had
earned it. If / had but a half hours
work to do in a day, i must do that
the first thing, and in half an hour.

ECONOMY IN YOUNG MEN.

One of the most difficult lessons for
young men to learn is the fact that
they ought to have money-to lay by
from week to week such amount as
their circumstances will permit. Not
to make it the last thing to do, but
the first, so their expenditures shall
not reach the gross amount of their
receipts, and they have nothing to
save. And this should be done with
out getting into debt for any of the
necessaries or luxuries of life-for one
may buy ever so large an amount and
if he is in debt, he is really no better
off than if he saved nothing, for the
money he has is not his, it belongs to
another. Young men do not know
as older ones do, by experience, the
great advantage of saving their money
instead of spending it. If they can
earn it easy they argue that they can
always get plenty, and what is the
use of saving? If they work hard and
get but little they say they are entitled
to some of the enjoyments of life as
they go along. While there is a
good deal of truth in these assertions,
both classes would benefit themselves
very greatly by systematic saving Of
more or less every week. We have
hundreds of thousands of men who are
yet comparatively young who deplore
the fact of their having spent theil
money as fast AS they earned it, ant
who are debarred from entering into
business or engaging in some enter.
