We were recently shown violin made
by H. NJ. Gould that is piece of work
manship that reflects great credit on the
maker. 1t is Strsndlvarius model, of
of beautiful golden browns. The in
strument is finely made and has an
honest appearance of strength and solid-
ty. The back is of two pieces of richly
cured maple, the top is of very fine
grained old spruce, and the tone is rich
and has a bell like sorority, filling the
atmosphere with harmony. Mr.. Gould
is a fine violinist and has for several
years made this instrument thorough
study.

In speaking of stock raising and what
is most profitable, the instance is recall
ed of two Durham cows owned by the
late Perry Moore, who, by the way, was
one of Anson's best farmers. These
cows had calves for five years in sue
cession that sold when three months
old for $75 per pair. 1t will be seen
that the cows produced 1915 in calves
during these five years, to say nothing
of the milk which they constantly
furnished. The secret of Mr.. Moore's
success was that he had good, pure
blooded animals and kept their product
the same. The farmer who has the best
stock whether it be Jerseys, Durhams
or Herefords, is the man who breeds on
distinct lines and is very careful to do
this. The days of the mongrel are
gone. The Jersey OK, the half blooded
Hereford and the Durham that repre-
sents all breeds or represents none, are
things of the past to the progressive
man. No one can afford to raise in
ferior farm animals. The best is none
too good and the only ones that give
satisfactory results, and this class will
always do it, and make farming pay.
