Those contemplating trip westward
will certainly do well 10 carefully CON
suit tile time tables of the Baltimore
and Ohio road. Its celebrated fast
trains, its sure connections, and rates
always as low as the lowest, make it
beyond all controversy the best line
west. Colonists are carried in first
class cars on fast trains, and every
possible care Is taken to insure comfort
and convenience. BY the Baltimore
and Ohio only is tie choice of routes
offered to the west, via ST. Louis or
Chicago, and in either case, trains run
through without change of cars. Di-
rect connection is made at both cities
with all leading lines to the west,
northwest and southwest, and there is
but single change of cars to Iowa,
Kansas, Nebraska, Texas, Minnesota
etc. No other line can offer such adj
vantages as the Baltimore and Ohio.
1t costs but very little time and trou-
BILE to learn this, and in the end may
lead to the saving of much of both as
well as mpney. Above all things do

realized for successful achievements.
But as the mistakes of one breeder
opened a pathway over or around the
obstacles encountered by him, on
which his neighbor successfully walk
ed, a steady advancement was secur-
ed-so that the best iocks of to-day
are made up of sheep whose perfec-
ton existed only in the dreams Of the
aspiring breeders Of the last genera
ton.
To England belongs the credit for
most that has been done towards
perfeeting the Long and Middle wool
breeds. The almost perfect proper
lions of her mutton sheep, and the
quantity and quality of their covering
stand an enduring monument to Bri-
fish skill and liberality, that will go
far toward excusing the proverbial
self esteem of the English breeder.
The best specimens of the Long and
Middle wool breeds to be seen on this
side of the Atlantic, are either impor
ted animals or their immediate de-
scendants. Not so, however with the
fine woods. The American Merino
finds no peer outside the United
States-and the achievements Of the
breeders who stand credited with its
present standard, lose nothing by
comparison with the success of
their cousins of the British Isles.-
