Much time and labor may be wasted
by farmers who attempt to improve
their stock by selection, but without
recourse to some well-lnown breed.
Farmers are not averse to improving
stock. Like all other classes they
prefer the besl, but they do not take
the easiest and quickest way to gain
their objects. By selection Of the best
for breeding purposes every year
any stock can be made better but
some rule must govern the process Of
improvement 10y selection, as the first
requisite is to fix certain character
istics in order hat they may be trans
mitted to the progeny.

whose birthday was at hand, some ac-

should fancy that member OF that
family would be an exceedingly diff

gift, and so the Baron found. After
much cogitation. and many investi-
cations hedecided upon a wonderfully
trained and talkative parrot, whose
faculty in learning any phrase that he
had been told a few times was particu-
larry noted One OF the clerks OF the
Paris House was deputed to convey
the precious fowl to Frankfort. Now
the weather was cold, the young man
disliked travelling. and above all the
parrot, with the usual perversity of
his race, screamed and screeched all
night, so that none Of the occupants
OF the sleeping car in which he and his
guardian were installed could get any
rest. "Shut mp. youconfounded jew"
exclaimed his protector in a passion

feelings by the disagreeabe journey
and the parrot s bad behavior
At last the bird and its disguised
protector arrived safe in Frankfort,
and the parrot was formally present

commenced trying to coax it to talk,
Polly listened to NJ. de Rothschild's
discouses for a few minutes, and then
in reply enunciated with startling dis
tinctness the latest phrase he had

A Battered Prospector.

The Homer Index has the following
account OF an accident at Lundy,
which it winds up with words of
cheerful consolation. 1t says; Last
Saturday Edward De Witt had very
close call. He was going up Lake
Canyon road in blackboard loaded
with prospector's outfit, and Sam
Calvin was walking ahead. By some
unaccountable wee-waw the wagon
went off the grade. Sam hung to the
horse, and the latter chung to the
bank like jaybird until the tugs
broke, when down went the wagon
several hundred feet into the canyon,
all in grand smash. The collapse of
the ''one-horse shay" was nowhere in
comparison. De Witt went with it,
and was found at the bottom fear
fully battered and bloody. r. r.
Pierce and Ca. Dyer happened along,
assisted in getting the injured man
up the steep hillside to the grade, and
Ed. Green's team brought him to
town. He was in a fearful plight,
looking as if he had been in a dog
fight with thrashing machine. He
will be partially well in few weeks,
but the record of the adventure will
remain on his head and face, and tho
broader parts Of him. If the slit at
the corner of his mouth don't heal up
he can drink beer out of a road
scraper.
