PURE-BRED Stock UNPRoFIrA Many
farmers have made the mistake of trying to
keep and breed a herd, or flock, of pure-bred
animals, and have, through their frequent
failures, brought discredit upon such stock
Pure bred stock, as a rule. is mot profitable
for farmers. They cost too much no farmer
can afford to pay from $1,000 to $4,000 for n
herd of ten pure-bred cows. They are used
to careful tending and high feeding, and their
product is no greater than the average of
good grades of these breeds. We know of
no herd of pure-bred animals in existence
that would pay its cost of purchase and keep
ing by its product of milk, butter or meat
alone; it is only by the sale of animals for
breeding that the profit is made. But admit
ting this to be true, pure-bred stock are not,
for this reason, to be considered of less value.
If we have not the pure stock, how can we
procure the grades, which are found so prof
table Grades, of high character. are the
most profitable farmers cows. Experience
proves this to be so in every case. One pure
bull, which may cost $3.50 to $500, will sire,
during his vigorous period, at least 30 calves,
thus adding small trine to the cost of each
over that of calf from common scrub bull.
By adhering to one breed there is a certainty
of arriving at a definite result very soon but
by the too frequent habit of changing every
two or three years, no satisfactory result is
gained, and after a lifetime of futile effort,
the farmer ends where he began, and berates
pure-bred stock as the cause of his failures.
As with cows, SO with sheep, swine and poul-
try. The pure breeds are not found protita-
BILE to keep, except for their services in rails
ing grades, and keeping up a supply of breed
ing animals for this purpose. In this way
farmer who can afford it may be justified in
purchasing two or three pure-bred animals
for improving herd of good natives, and if
he uses these with skill, he may find it very
profitable. american Agriculturist.

The REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS OF AG-
RIcULTURE devotes considerable space to in
formation upon the cultivation of the tea
plant in the United States 1t shows that the
principal tea districts of China lie between
the 10Th and 35th degrees of north latitude,
which is equivalent to line drawn from the
southern extremity of Florida to the south
ern boundaries of North Carolina, Tennessee
and Missouri This part of our country EN-
braces the greater portion of the famous Got
ton Zone, and the soil, climate and general
Typographical features are said to bear a very
strong resemblance to the corresponding sec
tion of China. The tea plants stand about four
or five feet apart and are raised from seed.
When about eighteen inches high the lead
ing shoots are pinched off, so as to induce
them to become bushy, and they are seldom
allowed to grow higher than five feet The
plants yield a small picking in the third year,

There is great satisfaction in knowing
what selection of shade-trees those who are
competent TO judge would make for road or
lawn planting. just such information is now
before the public and it will prove of very
great value to those who intend to beautify
their road-sides or private grounds. The
Park Commission Of Washington, D. c., COM
posed of three men of high standing in horti-
cultural circles, have planted miles of street
trees numbering about forty thousand The
bulk of these are made up of twelve varieties.
and are named herewith in the order in which
the commission valued them for the purpose
White maple, American linden, American
elm, scarlet maple. box elder, sugar maple.
American white ash, English sycamore but
ton-ball, tulip-tree, honey locust Norway
maple This is an excellent assortment to Sc
lect from for roadside planting Each varic-
ty here named when full-grown assumes
handsome proportions. and most of them
have brilliant and attractive foliage in the
fall In planting shnde-trees along the road
side, especially in clay country. they should
be set at least fifty feet apart, for if closer
there will be too much shade, and bud wet
roads in the spring are sure to follow This
close planting should also be strenuously
avoided in decorating private grounds. Any
system that excludes the free access of sun
and air from the dwelling house is pernicious.
Go wherever one may he will find this faulty
system of close planting in vogue. and in
eight cases out of ten there are two trees or
shrubs on n space where one would have been
enough. The plea for this is the desire for
immediate effect. The remedy is to cut down
in time every other tree This last is seldom,
if ever, carried out. -Scri6ner for ApW
