breeding From Grade Animals.


Years ago, when animals of pure breed
were scarce in this country, farmers
used to grow some very good cows, al
though both the parents were of such
mixed breeds that it would have been
difficult to tell what predominated,
SAYS The American CultivatOr. Why
was this, and, if it was so, why do we
so often insist on the use Of n pure
bred sire? Because such animals were
accidents that did not often occur,
while we desire in breeding not to take
chances. but to know with a certain de-
gree Of surety what we are to expect.
Those animals Of our fathers days had
a strain Of pure blood in them and per-
haps of more than one breed, and they
were Liable to breed back to the best
when they were from the best animals
they could select, as now we find enc
of so called pure breed revert back to
some unknown and faraway ancestor
Of inferior blood. The care in selecting
the best to breed from had as much to
do In determining the character OF the
offspring as the length Of the pedigree

Dennis Horgnn's bad Luck.

Dennis HOrgan, the Irish champion,
showed concluslvely in his successful
attempt upon the indoor shot record re-
Gently in New York that he Is the pre-
mier shot putter Of the world. The
ease with which he sent the leather
covered missile SO feet showed that his
recent record performances, In which
the shot was light, were not due solely
to its lightness. The whole story is
that Horgan, while the greatest shot
putter that ever performed in America,
has been In poor luck since he left Ire
land. In the future 1t Is safe to say he
will make more records far IN advance
of those now standing.
1t is a pity that the old unextended
champion, J. Il. Grey Of the New York
A. c., is not now In training, so that
the two could have 1t out in the seven
foot circle. Horgan seems better, but
Grey was never beaten and whenever
he was pushed always won just the
same. Frequently this necessitated
setting a new record. Horgan's next
appearance will probably be I'm the
Knickerbocker A. G. games In Madison
Square Garden.

Wbenf Yield.

There is no question that the aver
age yield Of wheat can be largely In
creased In this country, says Texas
Farm and Ranch. Thirteen bushels
per acre. the average for several favor
able years, is altogether too small, as
is proved by the fact that where tests
of different methods Of preparation
have been officially made the average
has been much larger and without a
correspondingly expensive programme
Of operations. Thorough preparation
Of the soil and good seed with proper
fertilizing where needed and rotation
Of crops are all that is required to run
the general average up several bushels
and greatly increase the yields where
the best preparation and best seed are
used. Wheat is not alone in this pos
sibility, though perhaps it is the great
est sufferer from neglect Of all staple
crops.

Docking Horses.

Time and time again has the ques-
ton of docking the tails Of horses been
discussed, and always humanity comes
out on top. All the driving horses in
Russia have long tails, and the coach
man Of an ordinary Russian carriage
takes no trouble to prevent the reins
from dropping about his horses hind
quarters. In spite of this, however, the
reins rarely become entangled with the
tail, and even II they should do so the
horses never kick. This striking fact
is an eloquent answer to those who up
hold the cruel practice of docking on
the grounds that otherwise the horse Is
liable to flap his tail over the reins.-

Lnunon TO Breed Trotters.


Thomas w. Lawson, the Boston cop
per king. has purchased a farm near
Boston. where he will build track and
establish headquarters for his string OF
trotters. He will start as a breeder In
a small way. His old stallion Poindex-
ter is a good one, as is also the 3-year-
old colt Dreamer. The latter has a rec
ord of 2:14% and should get some good
youngsters.
Mr.. Lawson owns Boralma, who
made a splendid record on the trotting
tracks the past season. Lawson has
become imbued with the idea that he
can breed n horse Of the quality Of Bo-
ralma, and he is anxious to make the
attempt He has secured a number Of
good mares. and as soon as his farm is
properly fixed up he viii enter into his
new venture in a manner to achieve
the best results.

Seeding Grass.

In the discussion as to seeding grass
with wheat or rye the point is made
that rye usually goes on poorer soil,
says The Rural New Yorker. Few
farmers think Of manuring as heavily
for rye as they would for wheat Thus
1t happens that the grass seed put In
with rye does not have an equal chance
with that on wheat ground. Farmers
have come to regard rye as a hustler"
capable of making a fair crop where
wheat would fail. That is true, but
grass is not even a baby hustler when
In the cradle. With good preparation
and soil we think rye would prove a
good nurse cror, but grass does not
need a nurse. In most cases we prefer
to SOW It alone.

The glass arm" the charley horse
leg, the bicycle face" "wrlters
cramp," Operators wrist"-all these
have had their day, and now comes
forward the pet affection Of the bowl
Ing novice to claim the attention of the
curious public as we'll rs perchance
that Of the medical fraternity. 1t Is
the bowler's neck.
You stand up to bowl. You fix your
eye on the pins. You step swiftly for
ward and roll the ball If you have
ever played golf, in which Il; very
good maxim is. Keep your eye on the
ball." you will be confused n bit at
first as to whether TO keep your eye on
the bowling ball you hold in your hand
or to keep 1t fastened on the pins.
In the bowling game the logical way
for the golfer to play would seem TO
keep his eye on the pins, for the ball
then corresponds to the club and the
pins-the object 10 be hit-the tced ball
so that the gaze is glued upon the far
end of the alley. If the golf player has
his troubles learning bowling in that
he strives to keep his eye on the pins,
how much more neck craning and con
sequent soreness must the novice have
who tries to keep his eye on ball and
pins at once and at every stage of the
preliminary swlngl
Here is where the neck gets in its
good work. Standing up, running,
STOPPING, bending, rolling, to keep ones
eyes toward the head pin all the time
requires n deal Of neck effort. So on,
game after game and at the last comes
