FANCY PEDIGREE STOCK.

The necessary cost of producing a
colt or calf which at two wears old
will sell for $500 or $500 is scarcely
more than that of putting into market
the scrub which must go at $40 or $50
or less. He who has courage TO do so
may buy ten cows, the calves of which
will readily sell for 81 900; he may get
three mares, the foals of which will
bring like sum each year, or he may
buy single ewes, the lambs of which
will find ready buyers at prices be-
tween $500 and $500. One NAV go
even farther than this: he may buy
one COW or single mare, the offspring
of which will almost certainly sell for
prices of four figures or more. There
are ewes so highly valued that their
lambs bring $500 to 81 900; the calves
of some cows in this country are eager
ly sought at prices that would pay for
large herd of scrubs, and it is gener-
orally known that there are many colts
from high-bred sires and dams for
which the value of good farm would
be refused without moments hesita-
ton. Yet the necessary cost of rails
ing and of keeping the more valuable
of these animals will not exceed that
of keeping the scrub in the condition
in which even the scrub should be kept.
This is by no means an extreme state
ment, nor do the prices mentioned rep
resent fictitious values, for high prices
can be obtained with more certainty
than can the quotations in the live
stock market be obtained for even
very good bullocks and fat wethers.
One fact is seen in the market for
stock of all kinds and of all degrees of
breeding from the sorriest scrub to
the purest bred animal of fancy pedi-
gree. 1t is that the better the animal
the more readily il will sell, even when
the figures asked are very high. When
rcverses come in a market for stock of
any kind, ii is the poorest in quality
which suffers first and most. While
this is true of the market for animals
ready for slaughter, ii is more emphat-
ically true of stock kept for breeding
purposes. Oflate much has been said
against the payment of prices reaching
wei into the thousands for animals OF
fancy pedigree, but it cannot be denied
Il ut when a man pays the market
price for animals which are ready and
fit only for slaughter he knows that he
has given very near their well defined
value; but when he buys well bred
cow or mare or other breeding animal
he knows only that he has given its
then market value, but no one can tell
how much more valuable that animal
may prove itself 10 be. Nearly all
progress in breeding, almost all i'm
provement in domestic animals, has
been made by the men who have been
ready TO pay prices their neighbors
were then as now, ready TO declare
fanciful, foolish or insane. These
writers, like many who do not write,
are fond of predicting that ruin must
come to the men who buy animals at
such figures: but il does not seem TO
occur TO them to say that in almost all
cases buyers of stock of this descrip-
ton are men of acknowledged enter
prise-capable business managers who
have made their own money, and, il
may be fairly conceded, know how to
spend it judiciously for further profit
or for pleasure.-Ch Chicago Tribune.

The value OF the livestock of the
State at present is at least 1920, 0OO, COO.
MIR. Mcfarland, speaking of the ag-
riculture of Kansas, SAYS:
"Not only have we as State every
advantage and aid that agriculture
can give, but we also have facilities for
marketing our productions, lying, as
We do, midway of a continent, with
direct communication with extensive
markets on every hand. The years
1882 and 1888 proved to be exception
ally successful to the farmers in this
State; the four great staple crops OF
wheat, corn, oats and hay not only
produced large average yields, but
were more extensive in area than ever
before. This of course accrued to the
benefit of the agriculturist, and the
long-cherished plan of better quality
and increased numbers of livestock
became easy of realization
OF the immigration TO this State
during the Fast year he says:
''The immigration TO Kansas during
1888 has probably been larger than in
any preceding year. This Immigration
was not only superior in point of num-
bers, but was made up of much better
material than usual. The great major
ity of them came TO Kansas not to pre-
empt or homestead government land,
and depend upon the crop of the first
year for subsistence, but with sufficient
money to buy improved farms.n
The result of the years operations
in stock he sums up as "a large in
crease in numbers, decided improve
ment in quality, no serious losses from
disease, and a vast improvement in
care and handling."-AtchisoR Cham

SECTION l. BE 1t enacted, dc,
That all examinations Tor permanent

answers and in case the examination
of the applicant is satisfactory to the
committe of teachers on permanent
certificates, the list of questions and
answers, with all other papers ac-
compapying the application, shall be
forwarded TO the Department of Pub
lie Instruction, and if approved by the
Superintendent of Public Instruction,

shall be valid only in the city or Dor,

~ ew Regulations Govern II
school Tickets Oh PennsyIva-
MIA Il. k.

Another liberal departure was made on
January lst by the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company in striking out the restriction as
to age from the rules governing the issue
of school tickets. Heretofore the sale of
such communication tickets was limited to
pupils of educational institutions under
eighteen years of age. This having been
abolished, Students without regard to age,
attending elementary, scientific, or art
schools, will be entitled to purchase these
tickets.
This is as it should be, and there is little
doubt but that the advantage will be so well
appreciated by residents along the line
that the including of students over eighteen
will really result in an increased revenue
by virtue of the increase of travel stimula-
ted by the reduced rate.

Interesting to Ministers.

A case of interest to ministers of the
gospel, justices of the peace, etc, was
tried at Chambersburg lately. On the
I'd of September, 1882, Logan Dyson,
OF Mechanicsburg, Cumberland county,
q lad of seventeen summers, and Miss
Mary Martin, daughter of j. G. Mar
tin, of Quincy, Franklin county, a
young miss just past her sixteenth
year, and at the time a student at the
Normal school at Shippensburg, went
to MELVILLE, Cumberland county, and
presented themselves to Rev. George
Il. Reed, pastor of the United Presby
terian church, and requested him to
marry them. The reverend gentleman
interrogated them as to his right to
marry them, and received representa-
tions as to the parties, consent of par
ents, etc, which induced him to marry
them. 1t turned out that these repre-
sentations were false. The father of
the girl sued Mr.. Reed to recover the
penalty of the act of 1870 Senator
Stewart for Mr. Reed, defended under
the act of 1871. Judge Rowe ruled
that the provisions of the act of 1929
were still operative, requiring ''pub-
fishing of the bans" where there is no
certificate of consent of the parent.
The jury found for the plaintiff
$133.33.

Orleans National Bauk against Post
master Merchant. An Injunction had
been issued enjoining the postmaster
from interfering with the mails ad :
dressed to the bank, such action hayin q
been taken by TIE postmaster in obe-
dlence to the order of the Postmaster
General, on the ground that letters in
tended for lottery company, which
had been denied the use of the mails
were being addressed to the bank. The
court decided that the bank was enti-
tied to the free use of the mails and
denied the motion to dissolve
the injunction. Attorney General

tho case.
