THE WORTHLESS SCRUB.
Why 1t Does Not Pay Farmers to Bree
Animals without Pedigree.

Why 1t Does Not Pay Farmers to Breed
Animals without Pedigree.
The scrub as a scrub ought to 90.
1t may be used for breeding purposes,
with pure bred male, but it ought
not to be permitted to remain as it is.
We are quite willing to admit that the
scrub, if treated as pure bred stock is
treated, would produce much better
results than it does under the ordinary
treatment to which it is subjected.
But as a matter Of fact it will not pay
to give the average scrub stock such
treatment. There is one way to make
money from stock and only one way.
That is by keeping good stock Every
body who breeds scrub stock loses
money every day that he lives; and
this is true even though he succeeds
in making profit which in hundreds
OF cases, however, he never does make.
He loses money because with just
about the same expenditure upon pure
bred stock or high grades he could
make three or four times more money
than he can possibly make with scrub
stock. Every body who knows any
thing about the subject knows that
this is true; and it is more to the in
terest Of the breeder OF poor stock to
tell him SO and convince him OF the
truth Of what you tell him, than it is
to any body else.
The Rural and Stockman is always
trying to induce men to purchase
thoroughbred stock. Except that the
prosperity of the farming public helps
US to be prosperous it is Of no inter
est to us to have a man breed up his
cattle, horses. sheep or swine, or TO
have him sell his herd Of common
stock and replace it with thorough
breds. Our constantly repeated ad-
vice in this direction may help the
breeders, but even they would get rid
Of all their stock if We never said
word in favor OF blooded stock. 1t is
because it is to the interest OF the man
who will take our advice that we keep
urging people to get better stock. We
know that if the farmer will do as We
ask him to do in this regard he will
make money by it. 1t will take years
to accomplish it but the scrub must 60.
In time there will be no earthly use
for such stock The meat markets of
the world will not touch it. Il will
not pay in the dairy and nobody will
think it will, and the most OF it will
certainly never be kept for ornament.
For the benefit Of its readers, no jour
nal should ever give any uncertain
sound upon a subject OF this kind
Breed up, should be the watchword
and no one ever should be foolish
enough to say or think that the scrub
can hold its own in the competition
with the thoroughbreds. It can nnt

NATIONAL BROTHERHOOD
OF BALL BLAZERS.
STRAIGHT TWINS.

The President SO Manipulated the Proc
lamations Admitting the Two Dakotas,
in Signing Them, that Neither He Nor
ANY One Else Can Ever Tell Which was
Signed First, and Thus They Are Straight
Twins.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-EffOrts have
been made recently to establish the
priority Of admission into the Union Of
one of the two Dakotas. 1t now tran
spires that no one knows which one was
admitted first. On Saturday the Presi
dent received from the State Depart
ment the two proclamationS deficient
only to the extent Of his signature. The
question Of priority at once came up,
and it was found to be difficult to de-
eide After some debate, the two doc
uments, unlocked at, were laid face
downward on sheet Of paper, and then
shufied together. When this stage Of
the game had been reached the procla-
nations were turned face upward, but
covered by the sheets Of paper on which
they had been laid. Then the sheets
were slipped aside until the blank
spaces for the Presidential signature
were exposed. The autograph was ap-
pended to each, the ink allowed to dry,
the proclamations turned over once more
and again vigorously shufied. The two
Dakotas were admitted to the Union Of
States, and although one Of them was
