Pedigree Of Pics In Dam.


W. M. McFadden, secretary Of the
American Poland China Record Asso-
,iation, says: My experience has been
that there are more errors In pedi-
grees for pigs bought In dam than in
all other essential particulars com.
bined. l am sure that not so per cent
Of the pedigrees Of pigs bought in
dam are properly made 80 as to show
that fact. Particular attention has
been given to this on the circular 10.
sued by the American Record, and the
instructions In regard to It are as
plain, think, as the English language
will permit, and yet, we have patrons
who will year after year make errors
on this kind Of pedigrees. For nearly
twelve years we have been issuing
duplicates for pedlgrees received.
These duplicates, when sent out, II
correct, show how the original pedi-
gree should have been made to show
the animal sold In dam. The dupli-
Gates should serve as copy for the
breeder in making future pedigrees,
This Is not only true Of this matter
Of pigs sold In dam, but the duplicates
are a copy from which pedlgrees
should be made in all particulars, yet,
for some reason, that has always
been a mystery to me, a great many
breeders seem not to learn from the
duplicates how to make similar pedi.
gree. There is one simple rule, that
a person making a pedigree, should
always have In mind. That is the
rule, that the owner Of the dam at the
time of service, is the breeder Of her
litter. If the dam is sold after being
bred and before she farrows, then
the man who owned her at the time
she was bred Is the breeder Of her
litter, and the litter was sold in dam
to the man who owned when she far
rowed. "a" may breed q SOW and
sell her to "B" and then "B" sell one
Of her pigs to "C". Nearly always
"B" will make out the pedigree Of
the pig as having been bred by "A"
and sold to Co. The pedigree should
read: Bred by "A, sold In dam to
b, and then sold to c." The name
of the person who signs a pedigree
should, in all cases. appear on the top
Of the pedigree, either as breeder or
as the person to whom the pig was
sold In dam.

DEATH OF ABRAM RAY.
FOrty-five Years i'm the Service of
the Il. u D. Railroad.
From The Cumberland news of March 3.

From The Cumberland news of March 3.
Mrs. Jay D. Ranck of this city,
yesterday received the sad intelli-
gence of the death of her uncle,
Mr.. Abram Ray, Chicago. "Pap"
Ray, as he was called, will be re-
membered by many of the old
railroad men of this city, having
been an engineer on the road from
Wheeling to Cumberland for
many years. He often talked Of
his experience during the war in
the sixties, when they transport
ed soldiers, making one time fifty
one days in thirty. He took the
first train load of soldiers out of
Wheeling w. Va, for the cam
paign. They were of the Six
teenth Ohio and theFirst Virginia
Regiments.
He was one of the first to enter
Chicago when the Baltimore e.
Ohio railroad was completed to
that city. He had charge of a
passenger engine from South
Chicago. to the Worlds Fair
grounds in 1S93,a that time being
the second oldest engineer in the
Baltimore & Ohio service. Five
years ago he was pensioned off,
having reached the age of sixty.
five years, after having been an
employ of the Baltimore g. Ohio
Railroad Company for over forty
five years. Strange to say that
in all those years he never met
with but one accident. This was
in a collision between Fairmont
and Pennington, w. Va, caused
by the giving of wrong orders.
One man was killed, but Mr.. Ray
escaped injury, although he jump
ed from his engine into the river.
He was never laid off by the com
pany and he never took but one
vacation of any length. That was
during the summer of 1894.
Mr.. Ray was married to Miss
Mary Downs, of McConnellsburg,
Pa, who, with one son and two
daughters. survives him, and is a
brother-in law of Mr.. w. H. Downs
of Franklin Mills.

Barn Burned.

The large bank barn on the farm
of the Rockhill Iron and Coal
Company, at Orbisonia on the
evening of the 3lst ult., was total.
ly destroyed.
The farmer Michael Shearer,
had finished up his work about
the barn early in the evening, and
was sitting in the house engaged
in counting up the time for the
employees at the coke ovens, he
being the foreman, and he heard
quite roaring noise, but thought
it was the "dinkey" engine at the
furnace, so he paid no attention
to it, until his wife went to the
window and discovered the fire,
just as the whistle began to blow.
The flames had gained such head
way that 1t was with the greatest
difficulty that the horses and
milch COWS were got out, and by
the time other help arrived it was
impossible to save anything
more.
One horse, valued at 5000 be-
longing to DR.. Parsons of Path
Valley, thirteen head of young
cattle, 500 bundles of corn fodder,
6 tons of hay, 200 bushels of oats,
a lot of wheat, clover seed, one new
buggy just run a few times,
spring wagon, new binder just
run one season, ten sets of har-
ness and all other farm impie-
ments, were burned. Total loss
estimated at about $850.00.
There was no insurance. Just
that day Mr.. Shearer had made
arrangements for the insurance
of his personal property, and the
policy would have taken effect at
II O'Clock next day.
That the fire was the work of
an incendiary there is little doubt.

Birthday Surprise.

Last Saturday was an anniver-
sary OF Mrs. A. G. Palmer's birth
day, and we are not going to tell
you just how many times that
has occurred since the first one.
1t is doubtful if Mrs. Palmer was
paying much attention to the
flight of time, or had given the
matter any attention herself un.
til the neighbors and friends be.
gan to arrive, and then some one
was thoughtful enough 10 sug-
gest that perhaps this gathering
of friends was for the purpose of
extending congratulations and
wishing her many happy re.
turns.
If her friends had surprised
Mrs. Palmer by thus dropping
in and giving her so many nice
tokens of their regard, they in
turn were gratitied and satisfied,
if not entirely surprised, when
dinner was announced and they
sat around board spread fit for
king.
Those present from a distance
were, Clarence Palmer and Jo.
sepb Mellott of Webster Mills;
10y Hollenshead and Katharine
Metzler and Mr.. and Mrs. Thorn.
as Hollenshead, of Harrisonville;
Mr.. and Mrs. Ahimaaz Clevenger
