making any use of your wheelbarrow,

Mr.. Goodheart-Now don't forget that

the climate is milder than the adjacent

Il SOURCE OF FINANCIAL
STRENTH

When the Great Napoleon was en-
deayoring to give to France something
like financial strength, he instituted
reforms that showed him to be prac-
teal tinancier, as well as he at any
time exhibited the fact that he was a
great soldier. France was in a
wretched condition financially, but he
quickly placed the country on a strong
and satisfactory monetary footing.
The assignats that had been issued
without system on pretended basis,
and almost without stint, were worth
less. But Napoleon forced the re-
ceivers of taxes TO give security In
money for each months installment
of taxes, and bills for the taxes com
ing due monthly. These bills we're
the real currency, being so guaranteed
and thus the revenues from direct
taxes were put Immediately into cir
culation to the amount OF twenty-five
million francs monthly. And thus
tiihb tiidt udu uOl llbltl
to buy even pens, ink and paper when IL
begun, had the use of the bills OF the
receivers and OF the money deposited
by them as security. Government
certificates on the security circulated
as cash equal to twenty-five millions
also. Thus the public credit was ndi-
rectly used, its basis being the reye-
nues which are debt constantly ow-
ing 10y the people and as constantly
owed back again by the government
through its numerous employees to the
people, and paper Is its best represen-
tatiye. The revenues OF governments
should always be In circulation as
money signs. So should their debts,
enough to provide sufficient currency.
These would represent a small portion
Of the public credit. Why should
private credit support the circulation
in preference? Nobody would ever
dream OF such illogical financiering
and Of the so-called "honest money"
that is ever wearing away, often run
ming away and forever lodging and
hiding, but for the great greed of
those directly interested in 1t.

any OF it was removed or secreted by him

ager Of the Caroline Gage company,
stabbed Mark Drumm, the advance agent,
at Eureka on Monday, in the neck and
breast, inflicting several severe but not
dangerous wounds. Thomas is the hus-
band Of the lady, and the cause of his
murderous attack is attributed to jeal-
ousy. One version of the affair is that
Thomas detected his wife coming ont of
Drumm's room at the Vance house.
Hence the assault. No arrests were made,
as Drumm refused to prosecute. The
Gage company left the same day for
Scotia. The wounded man remained be-
hind in the care of a physician.

AYRSHIRE.

The COW in the picture gave 5000
pounds Of milk in 104 months. One &C
customed to COW would know at a
glance at her immense udder that she
would be a famous mixer. A large, well
formed udder and fine hair are the two
surest signs Of Il good mixer. Ayrshire
butter, however, is rather pale. and needs
to be colored.
The Ayrshire thrives and is very popu-
lar as a dairy COW in u hilly, moderately
cold climate, though there is no reason
to suppose she would not do well else
where. She is tho "old reliable" in New
England and the middle states. Ayr
shires are easily kept, are hardy and ex-
cellent breeders, producing calves till
they are 20 years old.
Cattle of this breed are of a rich dark
red color, 'verging often upon brown
and spotted with white. Like all milk
breeds the COWS have small, narrow
faces and muzzles, with thin tails and
delicate legs. The neck tapers finely,
the hair is soft and thick, and the back
is remarkably straight. In a good milk
er the udder always shows particularly
large behind, and the teats are set we'll
apart. Ayrshire cows are very gentle
and docile in disposition.

REARING
What a Veteran English Breeder Has to
Say About 1t,

"nat u veteran English breeder Has to
Say About It.
John Handley, of Greenhead, West
Moreland, who is one of the most sue
cessful breeders and exhibitors in Eng
land today, gives in The Breeders Ga
zette his views on breeding as follows:
If l were starting a new herd of Short
horns l should buy the best looking
females that I could lay hold of, COM
bining milking and beef producing quail
tiles, making doubly sure they were of a
good, sound constitutional family. We
breeders must endeavor to produce a
good milking Shorthorn, and when dry
a COW that will quickly get fat. l be-
lieve we have Shorthorns in this district
that combine, as a rule, the milking and
feeding properties in a way that no
other breed of cattle in the world can
equal.
AS to the selection of a male Short
horn as a sire for stock purposes gener-
ally, l am always particular to try to
obtain an animal with the best individ-
ual merit; [ always hesitate to use a bull
unless he is descended from a good milk
ing family. His dam ought to have a
good sized and nicely shaped udler, and
his grandam also. During the last ten
or fifteen years I have used bulls de-
scended from the champion Royal En-
glish blood. If any person asks me
what l would prefer to use as a sire l
should reply a Champion of England
bull descended from u first class family
m hpth 1no1a md fn,,o1D Gil, ,,
state that | have had the pleasure of US
ing in the Greenhead herd of Shorthorns
something like ten Royal and Highland
of Scotland first and champion prize
winners during the last ten years. Ny
motto in buying Il male animal for herd
purposes is, buy the best animal I can
lay hold Of descended from good milk
and beef producing parents, giving fash
ionable and line breeding only a second
airy consideration.
In breeding Shorthorns of the present
day, when fashion and line breeding are
fast dying out of date, it is good looking
and strong constitutional and robust
animals that breeders must try and
breed to make Shorthorn breeding pay.
1t is my humble opinion that fashionable
or line breeding and the craze that some
people got for blood and fashion was the
greatest curse that ever occurred in
S%horthorn breeding.
The sires that have generally been
used at G%reenhead have had a strong adj
mixture of Booth blood. From no one
herd in Great Britain of late years, l be-
lieve, have descended more Royal and
Highland winners than the herd of the
late William Linton, Of Sheriff Hutton,
w. York, who generally used pure Booth
sires and who was the breeder of Sir
Arthur Ingram and Beau Benedict, used
at Greenhead and Englewood Bank, two
Of the most impressive sires of late years,
and from which nor Royal and High
land winners have descended than al.
most any other two bulls. If you have
good sircs and good dams | think people
are bound to breed something good,
either foz the show yard or the sale
ring.
