Look 1T That Bull.

Prof. Sheldon, the eminent English
authority on dairying. speaks his mind
on the vicious practice Of using scrub
by. low grade bulls. as follows:
Look, for instance. at the weedy,
miserable bulls that many farmers are
content to use in their herds-wretched
quadrupeds that should never be al
lowed to live beyond the, age Of veal.
Some men say. by way Of excuse, MY
poverty, not my will, consents; yet,
on the other hand, it may be remarked
that no man can really afford to use
inferior, low valued bulls in his herd.
That any man should continue to do 80
year after year can only. be regarded as
a kind Of needless infatuation which
precludes all hope Of Improvement.
The bull IL half the herd is an axiom
which should be drilled into the mind
Of every farmers son who Is himself
to be dairy farmer-drilled in until
he fully realizes what It means. That
there are many Of the present genera,
ton Of farmers who do not half COM
prehend the vast importance Of this is
greatly to be feared, for it is plainly
enough to be seen in the inferior sires
that are kept for stock purposes. It
would be interesting to hear the an
swers such men would give to the fol-
lowing questions: What sort of stock
do you expect such bull will get7 or.
Do you really expect to pay your way
as farmer by using a bull like that?
or, What would you say II you saw an
other man bupdened with similar
load of Grass stupidity7 Unfortunate
ly, it meyer occurs to them to put such
questions to Themselves. and it is too
commonly nobody's business to do so
in their default There is no excuse
nowadays for man who uses scrubby
bulls among his cows. Plenty Of well
descended bulls are to be had at prices
within the reach Of any man who can
afford to keep cattle at ALL" W

The journal mentioned comments a
follows: We do not know Of anything
more injurious to four months old
chicks than to become soaking and
remain SO. II they had gotten wet dur
ing the day and had the warmth Of the
sun, it might have been different. but
to remain wet all night means that
they were chilled through. It is sur
prise that they did not die in few
days. The treatment is correct but
laborious. and as the climate Of Texas
is mild they may recover. II they

is to add a teaspoonful Of chlorate Of

How the Executive of New York Came
to Dc Sent Up.
Judge NJ. May, of this city, was once
instrumental in sending William z.
Strong, now mayor of New York city,
to the county Jail for six weeks, says the
Mansfield (O) News. At that time
Manuel May wasn'ta judge, and Strong,
who is now known all over the country
by reason of the figure he has cut in
New York politics, was not mayor OF
New York. Fhe judge, when ques-
toned in regard to the matter, readily
gave the incident as he remembered it,:
1T was 80 years ago, and [ was Il
notary public in those days. L was di-
rected to take some depositions in Il
case in which there was an alleged
fraud in regard to some financial mat
ters. Strong refused to answer some
questions, as he, | think, had received
the information on certain points in
confidence. lie was obstinate, and eX-
erciscd my prerogative and sent him to
jail. Strong moved in what was con-
sidered the elite of Mansfield society
in those days, and they stuck to him
through his'serm of Imprisonment. The
town was about divided on the propo-
sition as to whether it was right to send
him to jail. Strong had a real nice
time while he was in Jail. His friends
visited him every day and helped him
pass away the hours. Finally, after
Strong had been locked up for six
weeks, a higher court concluded that
he had had enough and he was re-

WASHINGTON dispatches in papers OF
last Saturday state that it viii not be
the policy of President Mckinley to re-
appoint ex-oilice holders Of the Harri-
son or other administration except un-
der most extraordinary circumstances.
Adherence to such rule would win
the approval Of the great mass ofvoters
of the Republican party and would be
unassailable from either a partisan or
non-partisan standpoint.
The most weighty argument against
the present civil service regulations is
that they tend to keep men in office for
life tenure, or at least much longer
than they deserve, and the same argu-
ment applies with equal force in all
cases where men who haYe held lucra-
tive positions secure reappointment
Political favors should be passed
around for the reason that it takes a
great many men to constitute a win.
ming party, and scores and hundreds OF
deserving ones must be denied even
where there are no reappointments.
1t may not be inappropriate to state,
in this connection, that the Republican
aspirant seeking recognition at the
hands of his Congressman should not
depend entirely upon the endorsement
of the whole or part of a committee
but should be able to show as his
grounds for preferment that in loyalty,
integrity and efficiency he is worthy,
and that he has the support of ma
iority of those most deeply concerned
in the office to which he aspires.
A petition headed "We, the Commit
tee, ETC., endorse Mr.. Smith, etc, u
members of the committee until a ma
iority is secured should not stand as
the official recommendation of that
committee, although made to appear so.
The right of any committeeman to
endorse the application of any person
seeking appointment is undoubted, but
endorsement by a committee" can
only be made by that body when regu-
larly assembled and the action is Off
cially taken-not by the personal sig
nature of the members to a paper that
but half of them perhaps have seen.
AS we'll might petition signed by
every member of the Ohio legislature
become law.
committees are made for campaign
purposes, anyhow, and recommending
the appointment of persons to public
Offices should not be their business ex-
cept upon direct invitation of their
member OF congress.

FLOAT HOME FROM SCHOOL.

boys ana Girls Chamber Into Punts
and Pole Home.
A description of life in the Serbian
swamps, Vendland, runs as follows, says
the Century:
"School out" at the village school of
Burg is pretty sight. The substantial
brick building ovcrloolis the ever muir
muring highway, and the boys and
girls, instead of stringing up dusty
road, tumble into punts and pole away
for dear life-the boys much like other
boys, but the girls reduced to fac
SMILES of their mothers and elder sis
ters, clad in bright but short raiment
and visible afar off through their
strange mob caps with wings. AS one
moves down the stream from Burg by
Leipe to Lubbenau these wings grow
smaller and collapse, while the skirts
grow longer and more resemble the or
dinary dress of women. At a dance the
Spreewalder knows instantly, by the
peculiaritics of her costume, from what
village a woman or girl has come. At
Leipe the multitudinous skirts of
alarming girth are no more. The gown
reaches the ankles, and the cap fits close
to the head instead of resting on
framework as in Bucg. Thus the dress
in Leipe is perhaps more graceful, but
it is more commonplace. 1t no longer
tcstifies to that pride of the peasant ia
ther or husband which is shown by the
number of yards in the skirts of his
woman folk and the variety OF their
caps, by the richness of their dress as
well as their jewelry.
