NEW YORK. 1888.

More people have read The Sun during the
year just now passing than ever before sipce
it was first printed. No other newspaper
published on this side of the earth has been
bought and read in any year by so many men
and women
We are crediby informed that people bur,
read, AMI like The Sun for the following
reasons, among others:
Because its news columns present in at
tractive form and with the greatest possible
accuracy whatever has interest for human.
kind the events, the deeds and the misdeeds,
the wisdom. the philosophy, the notable folly,
the solid sense. the improving nonsense-all
the news of the busies, world at present re-.
voving in space.
Because people have learned that in its re-
marks concerning persons and affairs The
Sun makes a practice OF telling them the ex-
act truth to the best of its ability three hun.
dred and sixty five days in the year. lefo.e
election az well as after, about the whales a.
we'll as about the small fish. in the face Of
dissent as plainly and fearlessly as when sup
ported by general approval. THE Sun has
absolutely no purposes to serve. save the in.
formation OF its readers and sthe furtheranc :,
Of the common good
Because it is everybodys newspaper. No
man is SO humble that The SrN is Indifferent
to his welfare and his rights. No man is 20
rich that it can allow injustice to be done
him. No man.ssSno association Of men. is
powerful enough to be exempt from the strict
application of its principles fright and wrong,
Because in politics it has fought for aidozen
years, without intermssion and sometimes
almost alone among newspapers, the fight
that has resulted in the recent over helmine
popular verdict against Robesonism and for
honest government. No matter what party
is3in power, The Sun stands and vii! conf niue
to stand like rock for the interests of the
people against the ambition of bo,ses, the
entertainments Of monoposis and the dig.
honest schemes OF public robbers
All this is what we are told aImos. daily by
our friends One man holds that The Sun is
the best religion. new per ever published
because Its Chr!stiapity il undiint3j with cant
Another holds that it il the best Republican
newspaper printed, because it has already
whipped half OF t! g ruscais on. of that party
and is proceeding against tho other half will
undminlshed vigor. \ thirl believes it to
be the best magazine OF general literature in
existence because its readers miss nothing
worthy of notice that is curren IN the world
Of thought So every friell of The SUN dis
covers ono OF its many des that appeals with
particular force to hid Individual liking.
II you already know The Sun, you will OBJ
serve that in 1888 it is little bc,tor than ever
before II you do not already know THE
sun, you will find it to be miro of all hu
man activity, storehouse of the choicest
products OF common sense and m9gination, a
mainstay for the cause OF honest government
sentinel for genuine Jeffersonian Democ-
racy, scourge for wickadncss of every
species. and an uncommonly good Investment
for the coming year.

Improvement in Dairy Cattle.

Feeding comes before breeding in the im-
provement of animals. Breeding cannot i'm
prove race any futher than the race has al
ready progressed. 1t may serve to 6x every
step made in q coures of improvement. and
that is all. 1t is BY course of feeding and
training that every race of cattle hss been
prepared for breeding. The fact opens all
the possibilities of improvement to every own
er of a herd of cows; for he may begin a
course of improvement within 1t, first by
feeding. and then by selection and breeding.
No dairyman need wait for another to begin,
nor think it necessary to pay large prices to a
more en,erprising man TO do his work for
him. We do not know as yet the ultimate
possibility of . dairy coz. just as, years
ago, thr sheep men began with or
) pound fleece. and have fed and bred up to
l2 or 20 pounds, and sometimes reach S5
pounds weight Of fleece, and have increased
the carcass from 60 TO so pounds up to l2o
or $50 pounds and even more, and as the
Jersey breeders on the I-land-for We owe
it TO them ard cannot claim II ourselves
have fed and trained up their stock until
they breed II to l6 pounds and even 20
pounds week cows, so the dairyman may
st,rt on q course Of improvement for himself.
and by care, fore,hought and perseverance
rear up herd in few years which will
double the yearly product of his dairy.
Everything is possible and easy to the man
who determines. and is content to make
haste SLOWLY The DAIRY.

Impregnation In the Turkey.

A Springfield, Missouri, correspondent of
western journal says: "An interesting fact
respecting our domestic turkey has recently
come to my notice. friend. finding that a
stray turkey mad recently come upon his
premises with the intention of remaining,
finally shut il up in his chicken yard. where
it was permanently confined with no other
associates than the chickens. The prisoner
at once began to lay eggs, and, after a nest
was formed, sat upon them, Matching out, in
the usual time, nine healiy turkeys. Three
others, that had been hatched by a
hep, died soon for want Of care. The eggs,
IL in all, were laid without any connection
with a turkey cock. An impregnation, then,
that must have taken place before the fowl
was placed in confinement, must have an
swered for all the eggs. Agassiz states that
one population is supposed to answer for
more than one egg in the case of the turkey,
but adds that the supposition needs confrma-
ton. The facts here mentioned seem conclu-
sive, as there is no possible way in which
connection could have taken place after the
turkey was confined.

A Mistaken Idea.

As soop as a boy leaves school and looks
| about to see what he shall do next, he 10 very
likely to be told by some unwise person,
The world owes yon living" This prob
ably strikes him as being very wise remark.
| and the boy says to himself, "1f IL 10 true
| that the world owes me living, then I'm sll
| right" He finds place and goes TO work
| manfully; but after a time he concludes that
there is no fun in 1t, and he stops to consid-
er: ''If the world owes me q living. why
should trouble myselfY Let the world pay
its debt to me-" Suddenly he loses his place
and has nothing to do. He IL surprised and
wonders why the world does not give him his
due. "a nice bed warm clothes, and fegu.
lar dinners are good things and ought tn
have them. The world owes them to me.
and IL do not get them I've been cheated
| out of my rghts."
At one time this country was a wilderness.
where no man could live, by fighting
the wild beasts. Some one chased away the
bears and wolves, cut down the forests, laid
out roads. built towns, and dug canals.
| Somebody spent vast sums Of money in con.
structing railroads, steam. boats, docks, light
| houses, schools, Libraries, and all the hne
things you enjoy so freely. More than this,
| somebody pays the policeman, the fireman.
| the soldier, sailor, the lighthouse keeper and
| school-master.
FROM the day you were born your rather
and mother have fed, clothed, and sheltered
you. II has cost you nothing. None ofthese
great public works, roads, canals, towns, ma
vies, and armies cost you anything. How
can you say the world owes you a living? 1t
| is you Who must pyy-Dot the world.
All! boys, he was q foolish creature who
| first said, "The world owes me living" He
told very silly fable. The world owes no
man a living till he has done some worthy
| deed, some good work TO make the world
| better and fairer place to live In. Those
| old fellows who dug canals and laid out towns
who built cities and invented all these splen.
did things,--these telegraphs, these ships,
| these magnificent engines,-had the right
idea. They worked manfully, aud the world
at last did owe them living. and paid it many
times over. If you mean to get out Of great
debt you owe the world, do something, 90 to
| work and show you are q man. Then, when
you have shown the world you can work, il
| will gladly pay you living, and the finer and
| more noble your work the greater will be
your reward.-Fron "a Fable for Boys.'
