Persons contemplating journey East or
West should be careful that the rates paid
for their transportation do not exceed those
charged by the Nickel Plate Road.
This company always offers lowest rates
and the service is efficient. Careful at
tention is given to the wants of all first
and second class passengers by uniformed
colored attendants. The dining car service
of the Nickel Plate Road is above criticism
and enables the traveller to obtain meals
at from thirty-fve (35) cents to $l.0O but
no higher.
The Pullman service is the usual high
grade standard. Semiweekly transconti-

INFLUENCE OF BLOOD.
Poor Qualities in Cattle, as Well as
Good Ones, May Be Inherited

Heredity is the transmission of char

transmission may be either beneficial
or detrimental to The breeder. a poor
quality, as well as good one, may be
inherited. 1t is by being able to con-
troll this law of heredity so that only
the good qualities are transmitted
that success is attained, says H. G.

MOLASSES AS FEED.
Experiments Conducted by French
Government Experts Have Proved
Quite Satisfactory.

Many agriculturists in Europe have
an admiral BILE food for horses and
cattle, and their conviction is now
stronger than ever, owing to certain
experiments which have been recent
ly tried and which proved eminently
successful.
The French government has pub
licly notified agriculturists that it
will do all in it's power to aid them
in popularizing the new food.
The most notable experiments
with molasses have been made by
M. Decrombecque, a chemist, and NJ.
Mannechez, a veterinary surgeon at
Arras. They assert that chopped
hay or grass mixed with molasses is
an excellent cure for asthma, and,
furthermore, that food of this kind
neither loads the stomach nor i'm
pedes respiration. They also think
it likely that during digestion the
sugar in the food produces alcohol,
and they say that, if so, the animals
health is bound to be benefited
thereby.
Two other experts. MN. Dickson
and MalpeauX. have also made ex-
periments in regard to the effect OF
molasses on the general health.
weight and milk of animals, and they
have arrived at the following con-
illusions:
First, that ordinary food mixed
with molasses quickly increases the
weight of sheep, pigs and cows; sec
ond, that animals which are fed in
this way give more and richer milk
than they did before; third, that mo-
Iasses is an excellent food for horses,
since they quickly acquire a liking
for it and apparently do not lose any
of their strength, the only noticeable
change being a slight tendency to
can effectively be used with food Of
an inferior quality, since the ami
mails will readily eat it, whereas they
would not care for it in it's natural
condition.
M. Albert Vilcoq, French profess
sor of agriculture, says that the
French government is acting very
wisely in encouraging farmers to use
molasses, but he points out that care
should be taken not to give the ami
mails too much of it. as, owing to it's
heating qualities. it may produce
deleterious effect if given too often
or too abundantly.-N. Y. Herald.

SHORTHORN BULL ST. VALENTINE.
judge the future by the past, or the
coming offspring by it's progenitors.
The breeder knows what to expect and
feels sure that the young will possess
some of the characteristics of their
parents.
A very good example of this estab-
lishment of type in recent years is
to be found in the pure-bred strain of
Polled Durham cattle. The subject of
original ting a breed of polled short
horns was agitated Is or 20 years ago
and eliminated in the Polled Durham
breed, which we, have to-day. The
process followed was to take the best
mulley cows to be found among the COM
mon stock and breed topure-bre short
horn bulls, saving the polled heifers
produced from this union and breeding
back to .pure-bred shorthorn bulls.
This process was followed constantly,
eliminating the common stock blood
and preserving the poiled characteris-
tic until for all practical purposes
they were pure-bred shorthorns.
While this process was going on a
pure-bred shorthorn cow in Lorain
county, O., gave birth to twin heifer
calves from shorthorn bull that were
hornless. About the same time pure
bred shorthorn bull calf was dropped
without horns. These polled pure breds,
which were in reality Sports were
mated, the offspring from them that
were polled were saved, and from those
three calves there are to-day several
hundred polled cattle.

ove the census report OF last year.
The number OF children enrolled In the
schools Is not available for the present
