The "Maine Farmer" sensibly sug-
gests that compound names, like Hol-
stein riesian, ought to do dropped, and
one word used as substitute, adding
that as all the black and white cattle are
Friesians, that name should be retained
and Holstein, which never belonged to
them, dropped. The suggestion is a
good one, and if the leading papers OF
the country would adopt it, the reform
would come about. The "Holstein-
Friesian Register" remarks that if the
Association of breeders who selected
the name are satisfied with it the rest OF
the world should not complain. This is
not good ground. Life is too short to
waste time on long name, especially
when a short one is exact aud the long
is not. The outside world is big and
has rights; the Association is small and
should gracefully yield when facts are
against it. Let us have short, well
chosen names, big records, and choice
cattle.

1t is remarkable that importers of for
eign breeds of horses, noting the in
creasing demand, should have so long
neglected to purchase good mares. Buy
ing only the horse colts, it has been
necessary, year after year, to continue
importations, mourning all the risks OF
voyage and accl1mating, when II years
ago good mares had been imported
purebred horses bred here would have
largely supplied the market. The time
has passed, however, when this is neces-
sary, as horses with five or six pure top
crosses and entitled to registry are now
bred in this country, which are equal, II
not superior, to imported stock as breed
ers, while they are sold at less than half
the prices imported horses bring. Un-
less buyer is willing to pay something
for the name of owning an imported
horse, he can find plenty OF merit for
less money among American bred colts.

If a farmer endowed with common
sense found that his neighbor was grow
ing thirty bushels of wheat to the acre
while his fields were producing only
ten, he would change his methods and
follow his neighbor's, and yet thousands
of farmers are selling scrub cattle at one
and half cents per pound, while their
neighbors, with grade Shorthorn, Here
ford OF Polied-Angus stock, realize four
to four and half cents per pound. 1t
costs less per pound to produce beef
cattle of high quality than it does to
raise scrubs. With well-selected sire
of one of the beef breeds the result is
stock of superior quality, worth more
than double the price of scrub beef in
this seasons market. Besides good
beeves are in demand, while scrubs are
flooding the market and are not wanted
at any price, and the difference between
the price of good beef and scrub beef IS
growing wider every month. There is
no doubt that when prices of beef
cattle advance, as they soon will, this
relative difference between prices of
rood beeves and scrubs will continue.

The GubcrnatoriaI outlook.


The gubernatorial contest in this
State is getting up to fever heat.
Ex- Mayor Hodges ID understood to
be the choice of the regulars, but ex-
postmaster Brown is getting ready
for lively stir. He expects the
Farmers Alliance to back him, and
il he can form an alliance with ex-
Governor w. PInkney Whyte, as a
u. S. Senatorial candidate, he
thinks he cannot fail to be the can
didate. The regulars, however, are
on the alert, aud the contest prom
ises to be the warmest the old State
has known for many years.
Chairman Thomas S. Hodson, Of
the Republican State Central Com
mittee, says that the special COM
mittee having in charge the arrange
ments for the proposed State con-
yention in January, will meet on
December 3. This State convon-
ton, it is intended, will adopt
general plan for the reorganization
of the Republican party in Mary
land. 1t may be expected that
there will be a red hot fight in Bal
timore over the election of the FL
delegates to which the city is ems
titled, between the Henderson aud
johnson faction.

how much food is prepared. His wife
had occasion to be absent from home one
day last week, and she told the servant
girl to boil lobster for my friends din

of the treat she had provided for him,
and requesting him not to wait dinner
for her. He was quite hungry when he
reached home, and after reading the
note said to the servant: 'Is that lobster
ready"
''Indade it isn't, sor," said the girl.
We'll, hurry up with it, I'm as hun
