Tho Breed Not I'm the Feed.

There is au old saying, believed by
many, especially by those who pretend
to ignore the prepotency of blood, that
breed goes in at the mouth" Nothing
can be further from the truth than
this dogma. Had they said that the
characteristics of breed could be
changed by what goes in at the mouth,
no observing breeder would dissent.
The artificial treatment that produced
the habits, functions and characteristics
of improved animals must be continued
or they will surely relapse and show
traits altogether different from those
most sought after, and, in some cases,
almost destroy their usefulness for the
special purpose they are intended for
The successful breeder must be a
student of nature. He should noJ only
use Judgment in his selection of stock,
but he should also study the nature,
habits and treatme Mt that have called
into existence and made hereditary the
peculiar characteristics and functions
he aims at perpetuating and improving.

THE homing pigeon will live to be
fifteen years old if given good care and
healthful quarters.
THERE should always be good sup
ply of fresh water in the loft and the
vessels be kept clean.
THE nesting places should be large
enough to allow the birds plenty of
room to turn around.
TUMBLERs are always entertaining.
They show q bright, active way that
rarely fails TO attract attention,
SQUADS are ready to market at from
four to six weelrs. When convenient
to market raising them is considered q
very profitable business.
IT is best not to attempt to keep
large numbers together. They will
thrive better and keep healthier if de
vided up into small hoclss
BLOOD feathers can be remedied by
mixing -four of sulphur with butter, to
make it adhere together and give Il
pill the size of u pea until they molt.
AMONG the short-faced varieties,
especially, many of the pigeons would
die in the shell If not assisted out; their
beaks are TOO short to pierce the shells.

Couldn't Forget the Ear.

Speaking of dogs calls so mind one
the proprietor of a downtown resort
used to have at his establishment year
or two ago. The dog was sort of pet
of all the customers and was very ia
miliar with most of the regular comers.
One day there was fire, and the dog
being out on the street was run over
and had his ear cut off by hose cart.
Ed Marcilla was close by, and the in
jured canine being a great favorite with
him he was anxious to relieve its suffer-
ing. He picked up the severed piece
and sewed it on, as he thought, in very
artistic manner. Somehow or other,
though, Ed did not get it right; in fact
he got it decidedly wrong, so that the
ear did not feel natural to the dog
This caused coldness to spring up be,
tween them. Heretofore they had been
the best of friends. The dog would de-
sert almost anyone to come to lick Mar
cilla's hand, but after this unfortunate
surgical operation Ed never went into
the place but the dog would set up a
vicious bark at him, always keeping at
distance. Chicago Times

y conversation containing BrhOo OF
Morals for Buttermalers.
"I wonder" said woman the other
day, eff there is anybody from whom
can buy butter that does not taste of
the stable? l have had butter from
families of the highest reputation
for neatness, but it is so convey 1
cannot use it." "Ho, no, replied an
other, "you old buttermakers are too
critical; you should have more charity
In all the tons on tons of butter you
have made, did you never happen to
have a mess that tasted of the stable?"
Never" said She 1--WE did not make
that kind; and there is no excuse for
making it. But If we had made it we
would not have sold 1t, and least of all
to our neighbors. We never undertook
the impossible. In dairy of Fifty or
more cows of course we had several
mixers and were subject to frequent
changes of men. Reasonable precau-
tions were made to have everything as
clean as practicable in the stables, and
then the men were given to understand
hthat if by any accident anything un-
clean got into the milk they could re-
port it and put the milk into the vat of
skim milk for feeding calves and swine,
but under no circumstances must it go
into the dairy-house, and every pail of
milk was carefully inspected to know
that none came in. Lenient, fair treat
ment made the men careful and faith
full, and by that simple means we lost
little milk and no butter.

butter except that the texture or grain
was injured. We might possibly have
put it on our regular market without
serious detriment to reputation, but
preferred not to take the risk, for we
were getting good deal more than the
general price fo' our butter. We ac
