About Breed.
NJ H. GARDNER

Mr.. A. Y. Hyatt seems to be in doubt
as to whether or not the Holsteins,
Jerseys and Guernseys are the leading
dairy cattle Of this state, but does not
nlighten us much as TO what he does
think, contanting himself with a gen
erll slur on all pedigreed cattle. There
is just a grain of truth in his advice to
daiymen which l wish to pick )ut and
Gnlarge upon.
Many farmers get the idea that be-
cause a horse, a bull, a boar or a ram is
pedigreed it must be supereXecllent
and a fair sample Of its breed. But all
breeders know that there are blanks IN
all breeds, and also that these blanks
occur less and less according to the
length Of time the breed has been
established and the general excellence
Of the family connection. No inte'li-
gent man can now doubt the pot
of the breed Leaving oft all mrution
" The magnificent results of the efforts
Of English and Scotch breeders, the
evolution Of the trottmg horse and the
formation OF tho Poland China pig are
both peculiarly American and proof
right lt hand
1t is only comparatively p few years
since the efforts ~ our hursI IA be
gan to cIystaliza ana take shape yet
Aow many performers are there with
records Of 100 or better which are not
U1ttmg bred "a both sides? or how
many are there in even the 2.3o class
without standard uotdng blood in their
TaiuS?
Now because Il young man having "a
nice speedy mare and breeding her to
a standard bred horse fails to get n
aaud 81, OF a Nancy Hanks a JAY
Eye See, or a Hal Pointer shall ne
condemn the whole race Of tr0tters and
PAGERS and deny that there is sucn a
thing SIS tr0tting blood? or shall
breeder consider himself a failure be-
tAuse only two out Of five Of his feals
Know speed So with cattle, an cannot
De expected To excel As a worl1in.
tfalry I am satisfied with Holsteins,
But ! have a great respect for Jerseys

than to repeat a few lines written
years ago for Hoard's Dairyman which
has since been floating around in the

in the Daiiyman and credited TO
Grange Home as an editorial. whereas
Grange Home stole it bodily from the
Dairyman:
Don't Expect too Much from Thorough
bred Bun.
But in buying a bull don't expect too
much. Many men who have paid ont
a certain price for q bull seem to think
his heifers should give at least twice as
much milk as their dam, and if the diff
ference is small, are disappointed.
Suppose that cow giving 5000
pounds of milk be bred to a thorough
bred bull and calf resulting shows
gain Of but ten per cent upon her dam,
or 500 pounds Of milk per year If this
be spread over 800 milking days, or
600 milkings, it would show less than
a pint gain at milking, so little indeed
that no difference will be perceived
without the scales. Yet this 500
pounds Of milk at 80 cents per hun
dred is 81 for the year, and for eight
years only a fair milking life for a COW,
is $50, and 20 such calves raised to re.

EAITHEul DOGS.
The Story OF one That HAS Been Immor-
tanzed.

talized.
Poets have always loved dogs, says
HarQer's Young People. In this poets
ana 0oys resemble each other. Walter
Savage Landor was devoted to his dog
Gallo, and Byrons epitaph upon his
dog Boatswain we al remember;
To mark friends remains, these stones
arise;
never had but one, and there he lies"
Cowper was very fond of his dog, and
we know how Charles Lamb. who was
n prose poet, loved his Dash. and how
Mrs. Browning appreciated the little
Flush 10 whom she indicted poem.
The earl of Shaftesbury kept his noble
collie in his library with him at all
times and Samuel Rogers always
walked ont with his dog. Scott declined
an invitation to dinner when his dog
died, saying that he could not accept ON
account Of the loss of an old friend"
Wordsworth and Scott both celebrat-
ed in their poem the famous old
Gelert. This dog, u deerhound, was
given by King John to his son-in-law
Llewellyn, who kept him at his hunt
ing lodge, in the Deighhorhood Of the
Welsh mountain Suowdon. Gelert was
missed one morning from the hunt by
his master Lleweuyn, upon his re-
turn to the lodge, saw the dog, and dis
covered that its mouth was besmeared
with blood. Concluding that the dog
had devoured his child, the Infatuated
master slew the poor animal. Upon in.
vestigation, he discovered dead wolf
by the child's cradle, while the child
was safely and soundly sleeping. The
brave dog had saved Llewellyn's heir
from the wolf, A monument was erect
ed to the faithful creature, which bears
the name of Beth-Gelert.
