The Day nf Eanciea

We suppose there will always be
some worthless fads or fancies In the
world of live stock breeding, says The
National Stockman. There have been
many in the past, and every now and
then new one hobs up. But we are
glad to say that experience has not
been without its lessons. Breeders are
not taking things for granted these
days. Every statement is scanned
closely. The man with a fad no Ion
ger finds an audience that swallows all
his statements without the proverbial
grain of salt. The fads of the future
must have some foundation in utility,
or at least an appearance of 1t, or they
will not live long enough to do much
damage. 1t is very gratifying to prac-
teal men to see some of their number
whacking away at this fancy foolish
ness whenever it appears. They can
not hit it too hard nor too often.

SETTING TIRES.
The Old Way of Shrinking Them on
and the Modern Way.

The Old Way of Shrinking Them on
and the Modern Way.
The old way of putting a tire on a
wheel was to shrink it on. The tire
was made just trifie smaller than the
wheel and then heated, with the result
of expanding it slightly. When thus
heated it was crowded down over the
rim of the wheel and then cooled with
water to keep 1t from burning the
wheel and also to contract it. Cool
ing, 1t was shrunk on to bind the wheel
tightly. The modern way of putting q
tire on a wheel is with a hydraulic
tire setting press.
BY this method the tire is made just
trifie larger than the wheel. SO that
it will go over the rim freely. The
bed of this press, upon which the
wheel lies horizontally, with an open
ing at the center for the hub, is com
posed of IS sections, radiating from
the center and in shape like the spaces
between the spokes of a wheel The
outer end of each section is turned up
ward, the turned up ends making a
continuous fiange. or collar, all around
the bed of the press. Each one of the
sections has under 1t hydraulic cylin-
der, and the sections are all arranged
to work to a common center. In use
the wheel is laid on the press with the
cold tire around it within that turned
up collar, or fiange. around the edge
When the press is set In operation, the
collar, or fiange, is lrresistibly contract
ed. When it comes in contact with the
tire around the wheel, it does not bring
up against it, but keeps on contracting
just the same, now contracting the
tire as well and setting it upon the
wheel, the pressure being continued
until the wheel itself has been brought
to the requisite degree of dishing.-

GREEDY MAcKEREL.

A GOrGinS Feast and the Way 1t
Was Managed.
l once enjoyed the privilege of seeing
an army of mackerel successfully cor
ner shoal of small fry in a rocky
shallow pool which was cul de sac.
The mackerel swan behind their vic
tins in serried ranks, a company of
hungry, determined creatures, intent
upon a gorging feast to which there
need be no limit. They had followed
the fry for miles maybe, merely swal-
lowing one here and one there to keep
their appetites whetted. Now they had
cornered them where there was no es-
cape for their victims. No alert fisher
man on the lookout for just such an
opportunity was at hand to convert
their triumph and feasting into captiyi-
ty and lamentation. They might feast
at will
And, We gods. feast they did! No
one who has not seen it would believe
that the cubic capacity of a mackerel
could possibly deal successfully with
the number of small fish he actually
swallows. The way he conducts the
operation Of feasting is unique. Open
ing his mouth wide, the mackerel darts
in among the small fry, some of which
are perhaps one-third of his own
length. In an instant one of these Is
to be seen sticking half in and half out
Of his mouth. Then the mackerel gives
one gulp, and the victim has disappear
ed. Without a moments delay the
process is repeated and repeated SO
many times that the spectator cannot
fall to be concerned for the immediate
future of the particular mackerel he
has watched. Yet nothing happens.
AS for the fry, their helpless anguish
is somewhat heartrending. The whole
shoal of them boils and churns the wa
ter in an agony of fear. High into the
air they leap in order to avoid their
voracious enemies, landing themselves
often enough upon the weed covered
rocks which skirt the pool and painting
their lives out there rather than leap
back into the seething mass of their
harassed companions beneath.-Long-

THE FAMOUS BREED.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

The bureau of animal industry of
the agricultural department includes
Shorthorns among the dairy breeds and
says: The cattle which have been most
famous as breed in England and
America, which have received the lon
gest and closest attention of breeders
and improvers, which have command
ed prices, singly and in herds, far
above all others and which have made
the most general impression upon the
live stock of both countries during the
nineteenth century are the Shorthorns
or Durhams. Wallace says they are
descended from the old northeast of
England breed variously designated as
Durham" sTeeswater," yorkshire"
and .IIolderness," and adds: 1.-THE
breed was probably originally formed,
though perhaps several centuries ago,
by crossing the aboriginal British
cows with large frame bulls imported
from the continent. Early Shorthorns
were good mixers, and it may be pre-
sumed they ia part inherited that quail
ity along with the shortness of horn
from their continental ancestors Lit
