The forced resignation of JoHN O'CoNNoR,
n member OF the Ohio Legislature who n num-
Der Of years ago had been guilty Of crime,
raises the question of whether society has n right
to pursue and punish a man for mislceds al
ready atoned for according To law. The sub
stnntial charge against OCoSNoR was that he
had been convict in the Michigan penitcn-
tiary. having been sent there for larceny. He
had paid the penalty OF his offence. and had
since that time led respectable career. In an
unfortunate moment he was tempted to become
u candidate for Office. and was elected. The
long-burcd facts Of his former life werc
dragged rolentlessly T. light. and he was
Stunned ly his fellow Legislators. For time
OCoNNoR breasted the storm with the set rcso-
luton Of man who saw no choice between ut
ter wreck Of reputation and position. and dcs-
pcratc. unflinching denial. But the evidence
became too strong to be faced. and the cX-con-
vict with tears acknowledged that lie had once
been an outlaw. and then he resigned from the
Legislature. Was it right thus 10 crush the

Value Of Improving Stock.

When / began dsirying l thought
could establish herd of good cows by
careful selection; so 1 tried the theory
/ saved the calves from the best cows,
and raised them with great care, to find
in great majority Of cases disappoint-
ment. Afterwsrd I'procured Q thor.
oughbfed Ayrshire bull, and the calves
/ raised nearly oil made good cows.
The failures were in very small proper
tion compared with the selections made
from the best cows where the sire had
no fixed breed. In the swine improve
ment is even more noticeable. My ex
perience has shown that pigs we'll up
in Essex or Berkshire blood have given
a great deal more profit than others Of
as big frames. perhaps bigger. but
without the qualities which give to
these breeds their character as rapid
growers and easy keepers. We used to
buy our shoats in Buffalo, as they came
from the west, where farmers have Civ
en- closer attention to the improvement
of swine than the most of our farmers
have In lot of 80 or 100 pigs, such
as we used to buy, we found usually q
large proportion graded up in the i'm
proved breeds, and invariably those pigs
turned out more pork on the food Civ
en- them than those that showed no
care in breeding
What we want todecids first, is what
qualities are desired in the stock which
we are to keep, and then get thorough
nala hak L., oh oka In
breeding for dairy uses, attention must
be paid to the pastures, to the kind of
keeping and to the purpose in view. II
butter is the object, and the pastures
are hilly and the keeping generally be-
low really good, l do not suppose 1t
would be wise to use short horns II
might be that grade Jerseys would be
as good as any that could be chosen for
some situations. Ayshires would prob
ably be better for general purposes, and
Holstsins In some cases would no doubt
be preferable to any other breed. What
is needed at first is to decide upon the
requirements, and then get male that
comes nearest the chosen use. When
this is done on all farms, we shall have
much more profit in all our stock. 1t is
surprising that farmers give so little
thought TO this matter, and it is plain
that there is room for great improve
ment, and that it can be made almost
without cost of money. Let proper at.
tention be given to The matter, and we
shall find soon the general wealth much
increased.-J. s. Tsnduzer, Elmira Far.
