Rules OF Registry.

The marked revival of interest In
cattle breeding has set aaoat number
of inquiries as to whether cattle graded
up by successive crosses of pedigreed
bulls can be made eligible to herdbook
registration, says The Breeders
Gazette. These questions are answered
in the negative. No herdbook accepts
for record animals that are graded up
from unregistered COWS. All animals
registered must trace to recorded stock
through both patents. Some ktld
books accept horses that have four or
five top crosses of registered sires, but
herdbooks are closed to all animals
that do not descend on both sides from
ancestors already on record. Five
crosses of pure blood practically elm
mate all alien blood and establish
the type, but breeders maintain that the
"taint" yet remains, however small the
percentage of "scrub" blood may be
and hence refuse herdbook record to
animals thus bred.

Pennsylvania Democrats for Bryan
and Patriotic Principles.
The democrats of Pennsylvania have

an admirable platform. Here are some
of their patriotic declarations:
eve deplore the subserviency of the
present administration to the behests of
England aud English statesmen, whether
the same be Intentional or caused by the
ignorance of our officials in the state
department. We denounce the Hay
Pauncefote treaty as complete aban-
donment of the claims of our states.

troll an inter oceanic canal and as un.
American and q base surrender Of our
inherent right. of self-defense.
1--WE declare in favor of: sInter-ocean.
ic canal controlled and protected by
our country.
"No further surrender of Alaskan
territory.
"Fortification of strategic points on
the Pacific.
"No entangling alliances with Eng
land or any other country, secret or
open.
Free trade..wIth Porto Rico.
Independence of Cuba.
"Home rule for the Philippine is-
lands.
"No subject people.
"No colonial dependencies.
eternal opposition to trusts.
GA vigorous foreign policy.
"And an income tax
Bimetallism is favored as tending to
make permanent the prosperity of the
country and "freeing US from the power
Of the money trust"
Sympathy to the Beers is extended,
and it is declared "that the war of con-
quest and determination now being
carried on by the British empire in its
greed for gold and power is menace
to advancing civilization"
Trusts are denounced and legislation
to curb their power is favored. Munic.
ipal ownership of public franchises is
demanded.
The platform concludes with q trib-
ute to William j. Bryan and inviting
him to become a candidate for pre.i-
dent and pledging the support of tie
Pennsylvania democracy.
