A steaa, Snow-sled.

he thinks it will be possible to travel
over ordinary snoH-eoverea roa1s at the
rate OF twelve miles an hour aud over
level snow-felds, under favorable cir
cumstances, at the rate of sixty miles an
hour. The new sled will be tested this
winter in carrying passengers from
Truckeeto Doaner Lake. and it is scarce

Curious Relic Of Indian Ownership

Hanging on the wall of a real estate
office in Boston is a curious relic OF the
days Of Indian ownership deed con-
veying some land, neal Buzzard's Bay,
from the Indian chief, popularity known
as aKing Philip to John Crooke, of
Dartmouth. The deed is executed on
parchment and is a genuine indenture.
The edges are cut in curiously irregular
way, 50 that the piece of parchment
which King Philip retained would fit ex-
actly into the ssindentsn Of this one. In
that way the Indian assured himself Of
the g-enuineness Of the contract convey
ing the title OF bis land. This wa be-
fore the days of the Torrens system Of
land transfer. King Philip made his
mark in the shape Of a letter ssP.n The
other chieftains interested made simply
d cross; but the heroic young chief had
received the rudiments Of al English
education and SO made q capital initial

THE SCIENCE OF BREEDING.

Breeding, strictly speaking, declare.
I. G. Wade, of North Dlkota, is the
science Of selecting the %tittest, and by
proper coupling, producing the highest
type. Ii it were properly understood,
we should have arrived at a more ad.
vanced stage long before this. But ig.
snorance pulls down in q year what q
Blackwell or Bates have been generations
in building up. II is perfectly safe to
buy a pute-bred bull for use on common
,tock, for some Of his lines will be OF
advantage. But when it comes to i'm
proving the pure bred, then the most
careful thought and experience must be
brought into action. A cardinal prin.
ciple of breeding is to breed SO that the
result is something uniformly superior.
Each generation should be an improve
ment on the last. How to do this Is
moi easily put into words, for a man may
spend a fortune, and his COW have the
best Of care, yet there may be something
lacking. 0ae good rule is, never TO buy
anything in the shape Of a bull because
he is cheap; a cheap animal may ruin a
lifework. But the breeder must become
absolutely familiar with every point of
his breeding cows, aud it does not pay
to keep any other. He should be 90
familiar with every one Of his cows an
atomy and character that he can call
them to mind at any time.
The general principles governing trans.
mission of heredity qualities from parent
to offspring are about the same in all
animal life, but ssthe force Of this lies
in the application ont as was observed
by Captain Cutie. It was long ago
laid down that 1.-THE iniquitie5 Of the pa
rents should be visited upon the children
even to the third and fourth generation. 3
The principle il the enc that is studied
and taken advantage Of reyersingthe work
to make better the breeds of livestock
we have. DIR. Holmes says. 81 go al
ways-other things being equal-for the
man who inherits family traditions and
the cumulative hninanities OF at least
four or five generations" This 7 fully
believe lib. Given a dairy bull of q
family that has for the past three or four
generations been noted for milk and but
ter, and one may safely breed to him.
aHeredity makes of every individual tho
sum or essence of that which has lived
before him, and is essentially a coaserva-
tive force. = We cannot, of course, expect

just the state. It must be under
stood that all animals of any value as
breeding stock are recorded in the books

breeds. By reference to these we may
ASCERTAIN the exact status of an animal.
In all cases where there are any doubts

best to write to the Secretary and find

general form, that Of GOOD bless you'll

another, in most European countries to-

had escaped from Colonel Cody's exhi-

its way eastward until it reached the

the effect of increasing it's speed, and

attempted to stop the horse in Lancas-

knocked down, and received severe

John Fitzhughes was sitting for

he grabbed a loose line that hung over

something struck the Iudder power
