UNCLE HANK ALIENS 2:40 HORSE

81 knew David Harum," said Eli
Perkins, when he sold lightning rods
and traded horses along the Cherry
Valley turnpike from Batavia to Au-
burn. One day David was talking
about horses in the old Batavia no
tel. Finally he said:
Boys, l want fast boss for the
State Fair tomorrow. | want moss
that will bust them Syracuse fellers
all to pieces, and I'll give 500 for a
boss that can do it-fve hundred for
a boss that can go it in 2:4O, b'gosh!
Uncle Hank Allen looked at David
quizzically; then, putting his hand
around his mouth, he whispered In
Dayid's ear: "Pve got the boss that
can do it."
"And you guarantee it, Uncle
Hank?"
"Suttenly, and you know, David, my
guarantee is as good as gold!"
"It's a go, Hank" said David, en-
Enthusiastically handing out the money.
Then he tied the 2:40 horse behind
his sulky and drove towards Syracuse,
chirping to himself: Go it, 2:4O!'
After the fair l asked David IL the
horse really made 2:40 time on the
Fair Ground race track.
"Well, no-he couldn't do it, said
David, regretfully. HE couldn't.
"Then Uncle Hank deceived your

said David, sadly, "but Hank ex-
planned it at the bank this mornin'
He said: why, David, said the boss
could trot in 2:40, but I didn't say
he could trot mile in that time. |
meant he'd trot as far as he could in

Iowa station the cattle consumed 1876
pounds of dry matter per thousand
pounds of live weight, against an aver
age of 29.07 by the sheep. The sheep
made daily gain of 1913 pounds per
thousand pounds of live weight, and
the cattle 2.14. In summing up this
comparison we find that while the
sheep ate 48 per cent more than the
CATTLE they also gained nearly rs per

her colonies in beef lines than all the
other breeds put together and besides,
it's grades furnish more of the milk
and butter of commerce than all the
dairy breeds combined. Acknowledged
supremacy in any line however, has
it's disadvantages and like the young
man who has had handsome endow-
ment of either wealth or ability by in
heritance, the Shorthorn breeder is
likely to become careless and if he per-
sists in his carelessness may lose that
inheritance. In fact, the very excel
lence of a breed often indirectly handi-
caps the breeder. For example, the
excellence which has led to such
wide distribution of the breed has nat
urally created large number of care
less breeders and therefore inferior
herds, for the poor breeder is in time
found to have poor herd. The same
excellence has led to discrimination
on the part of the breeders between
colors. The colors of the Shorthorn
are red and white, and combinations of
Cu0S0 COlOIS, anu Wucu OuOl
breeder discriminates between red and
roam, or red and white, or even pure
white, he thereby limits himself in the
choice of sires to fraction of the
breed instead of the whole. If he linn
it's himself to red, he shuts out the ex-
cellence of roam and red-and-whites, or
if he will have a roam herd he shuts
out all else, and thus he gives other
Shorthorn breeders a chance to excel
him. When the fancy for one color
takes possession of the majority of the
breeders, it gives breeds of but one
color an advantage which they are not
slow to use, to his great disadvantage.
The color craze has done immense in
jury to the Shorthorn breed and will
do like injury to any breed which gives
undue prominence to the color or the
shade of color of the hair. The dis
elimination may work no great injury
provided it is confined to dude breed
ers, men with long purses and esthetic
tastes, but it will not do for the man
who is breeding not for temporary
glory but an abiding reputation and
sordid cash.-Field and Farm.

GILBERT HUNT FEED MILL.

This roll has no equal in the mar
ket as a feed crusher. The mills
are complete, all ready to belt up
and go to work. The rolls and shaft
ing are very heavy, and the bear
ings heavy and long, insuring cool
running journals. The rolls are
slightly corrugated to make them
feed properly, but not enough to
grind the grain fine, as is the case
with most corrugated rolls. The
spring contact on rolls is very cas-
lily adjusted. They have an adjust
able hopper feed and absolute force
feed over the rolls. We make them
in a number of different styles, suit
ed to all requirements, and having a
capacity of from ten tons to fifty
tons per day.

The Kennett Fibre Works Burned.

Fire on Monday destroyed the
plant Of the Fibre Speciality Com
pany, located at Kennett Square,
Pa. The high wind which prevail
ed at the time endangered surround
ing property and it was only
through the strenuous efforts of the
fire company, assisted by the
citizens of the town, and the fact
that snow covered the roofs of adj
joining buildings, that a more
serious conflagration was prevented.
The lumber yard of Chas. G. CAV
throp and the American Road Ma
chine Work, in close proximity, were
endangered but escaped destruction.
The loss is estimated to be between
$40, 900 and $50, 1000, with an insur-
ance of $23, 800. 1t is believed the
fire was caused by fallen electric
light wire crossing the telephone
wire which entered the Fibre
cOmpany's office.
In appreciation of the service of
the fire laddies Chas. G. Gawthrop,
whose property was saved by their
efforts, presented the fire company
with $500.

Parallel Gases.

According to the Secretary of Wars re-
port submitted to the House of Commons
last week, the cost of the South Afri-
can war last year to Great Britain
was the enormous sum of $3o5,-
$50, 900, and he estimates it will cost
$22, 500, 900 monthly in future to conduct
hostilities. On January there were still
237,8oo British troops in South Africa ell
gagged in crushing the Beers, erasing from
the map the little republics, as such, and
converting the liberty-loving people,
where they could be captured by this
immense army of 237,Soo, into British
subjects. England is paying dear for her
whistle and still hasn't it in her possession
Her policy is now one of complete exter-
rnination and it looks like ii will require
the whole of this vast body of troops to
surround and capture the remaining little
band of stout hearted Boer fighters who
are still struggling for their liberty-the
only thing left for them now, their land,
their homes. in fact their all, having
been swept from them by their foe.
Uncle Sam too has a neat little war
bill, which, although it has not grown to
the enormous proportions of England's is
still very respectable, as in the effort to
establish his authority in the Philippines
over $500, DOC, 900 has been expended. in
the three years and lac, 900 men sent to
the Islands.
Notwithstanding Civil government has
been established in our new possessions it
requires an army of 10000 to maintain
present conditions. While the civil Of
ficials give assurances to the Departments
at home that the government is firmly
established and the Filipinos are accept
ing it. it is the opinion of the majority OF
the officers of the army in active service in
the Islands. whose opportunities for learn
ing the true situation of affairs are better
than those of the officials in the towns,
that the Filipinos are at heart unfriendly
to this nation and would rejoice in the
overthrow of the government established,
it being merely question of opportunity
with them where they have been brought
under forced subsection. At best but a
small portion of the population are
friendly to the United States, and Cover
nor Taft admitted last week in his testi-
mony before the Senate Philippine Com.
mission that the dominant hope of all
classes of Filipinos, of high and low
degree, was of future freedom.
Our course in the Islands has had the
effect of making these people, who at first
were friendly, hate the Americans worse
than they did the Spanish, from the fact
that they recognize our strength to be SC
much greater than that of the decrepil
nation which was scarcely able to carry
on the warfare at all in the Islands.
And the world looks upon the spectacle
of two powerful nations trying to force
their rule on weak people, and draw:
nearly parallel between theul.

serve as reminder to those who consider

''The reader of the Coumoner asked,
what was the object of those who pre-
cipitated the panic of 1882 The panic
of that year was not brought on inten-
tionally that is, those who were respon-
sible for it did not intend that the scare
should go so far as it did. When Mr..
Cleveland was elected the fnanciers at
once demanded the unconditional repeal
of the Sherman law. There is no positive
proof that an understanding existed be.
tween the fnanciers and Mr. Cleveland
prior TO election, but subsequent things
strongly point to such an agreement. In
order to force members of Congress to
support the repeal of the bill, the 6nan-
ciers curtailed loans. drew i'll money and
talked of the possibility of panic. The
result was that the pressure went further
than they intended TO carry it, and they
were powerless to stop the movement that
they we're largely responsible for starting.
The panic came at a time when the
bankers held notes secured by property
which was falling i'll value, and in many
cases the fall in price distinguished the
margin between the banks assets and its
liabilities. The financiers are now en-
gagged in doing much as they were doing
prior to the panic Of 1898. They first de-
mauded that the treasury notes be de-
clared redeemable in gold and then they
demanded their retirement. Now they
are demanding that the silver dollar be
made redeemable in gold, and they will
next demand its retirement. Whether
they will carry their present demand as
far as they did their former one remains
