The Clydesdale horse was recon-

orite of the writer for butter and tn,
Devons for work oxen and feeding.
Sheep should occupy a conspicuous
place among the farmers stock. and
the Yorkshires were par excellent
f,r the farm-yard pig. The essay took
high ground in the matter of farm
animals and argued that the best
bred stock should always claim the
farmers attention and preference

grade stock, being no more than that
of scrubs, while the profit derived
from the former was Immensely great.

The week has been one of prepara-

Congress too, has made ready for
'hris mas to day by adjourning un.
til the fifth of January. Quite
number of Senators and Representa-
tives will eat Christmas turkey at
their homes, though a majority of
them will remain in Washington
through the Holiday season.
The emphatic vote 226 to 20 by
which the House decided to change
it's rules showed how general was the
feeling that reform was necessary.
The 20 who resisted the change do
not represent all of the Members who
rook forward with anxiety to the ef-
feet of distributing the appropriations
bills among the different committees.
The change is an experiment that
will be watched with interest, to see
it it will result in extravaganza.

because of his age and long service
is called the Father Of the House,"
