this way: Some five or nI years

and which had been given TO. him by .
Boston friend. One day tho dog was
missing, and Mr.. Butler WIS very angry.
Ho advertised extensively for Tiger, but

was brought home by q young man, an5
Mr.. Butler willingly pGid him So s .

young man returned the dog, and Mr..
Butler agair S.,ellcd out q V. But this
time he tied up the dog, and ordered the
man to keep an estrn watch upon his
kennel. In tliree weeks that dog waa

had tho young man who had twice found
him huntel up by the police, and so-
cuscd him OF having btolen Tiger. The
charge couldn't be proven, however.

This view presents the basis Of the
real value Of such ptcpotent blood in

may not misunderstand our meaning.
let US say that at one year old this
male may get twenty heifcr calves

does not average over l5uibs. Nov
this male will add TO the bu.tcr pro

produce one ton OF extra butter. This
male might produce The same NUM-
