COLOR LINE DRAWN ON
THE LIVE STOCK FARM

A stock farm. as unusual in makeup
as IL is in methods, is Rosemount. one
mile east of Millersville, Ind The farm
is owned and stocked by Charles J.
Buchanan. Rosemount farm consists Of
eighty acres, and is a sister farm to
,Rosedale. Mr.. Buchanan became pos
sessed of Rosemount three years ago,
and Immediately began a movement to
make il a foremost Indiana stock farm.
His first thought was TO make the place
unique, and he began buying stock that
was all white. Today Rosemount stock
farm is the home of white animals, from
various kinds of fowls to white Perche-
ron horses and white Angora goats.
Mr.. Buchanan has adopted an original
plan OF indicating the birth year of the
stock on his farm He began raising
stock in 1900 and all animals that first
saw the light of day in that year re-
ceived names beginning with A The
plan applies 20 all pedigreed stock His
Denmark saddle stallion won the title
of Adam that year. A pair of mares of
the list Of 1900 were named Amber and
Alpha. The next year the names ap-
piled were such as Bernice, Beaumont,
Barry, etc. II is the intention of Mr..
Buchanan TO carry out this plan through
the coming years, and he finds it easy
70 recall the age Of his stock by the
names given.-Indianapolis News.

DEVOID OF INTEREST

Extreme Dullness Again Hangs Over
Market-Iron and Steel Stocks
Show Strength.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE stock mar
ket was extremely quiet and virtually
devoid of any feature this morning.
At the start few small advances were
shown in the railway list, but subse-
quently prices sagged off. although re-
actions were confined to small fractions.
Sugar opened a trihe lower under
large realizing sales caused by the ac-
complishment Of Cuban reciprocity leg
islation. but subsequently new buying
orders carried the price up over a
point. from which only small reaction
took place. AmRlgamated Copper sold
up rs per cent.

tionally stronger. encouraged by the
fact that no changes were made in the
pool - prices on structural material. /.

ulatfon as a whole was excessively mar

PRIZES IN FRANCE
FOR LARGE FAMILIES

Among the various remedies to arrest
the decay of France it is proposed to
offer prizes for large families. the re-
mission of taxes TO people who have a
number of sons, the extra taxation OF
childless families and bachelors; and
one interesting plan is to make bache-
lors ineligible for official positions un-
der the government and the municipali-
ties. Another ingenious gentleman sug-
gests that married men and fathers of
children be excerpt from military serv-
ice and that the French army be limited
to bachelors only.
Other induceme,its have been proposed.
and it is rather apropOs that just at
this time, when so much interest is be-
ing excited on mis- subject. one of the
professors of the University of Chi
cago should be fortunate enough to dis
cover the food of which giants are
made This discovery has been recently
published in France and attracted much
attention.
Some time ago Count Alfred dc Pierre
court left legacy Of s.. .0O0, 900 to his ma
tive city of Rouen to pay the expenses
OF experiments for the propagation OF
giants. His heirs raised a row about II
and appealed successfully TO the courts.
which have recently given them three
fourths of the estate, and retained one
fourth Of it as ample to carry out the
ideas of the deceased.
Under the supervision of the municipal
ity an institution for raising giants is
to be established with the income Of
$500. 900. The trustees are to search the
world for men and women of large stat
ure and are to pair them off in couples
and place them in the homes upon a
farm near Rouen- II would be a good
idea to feed them on the stuff which
the Chicago professor has been wasting
on white rats. If he can double the size
OF white rat he ought TO do wonders
with a lot of Philadelphia
Press.

TRAINING GERMAN GIRLS.

The same methods which have been
applied with such remarkable success in
Germany to the training of boy appren-
tees in the industrial and commercial
schools Of the Empire are now TO be
adopted for the education and train
ing of girls who may seek to better
their condition in life They will then
swell the ranks of that trained army of
experts which has accomplished more
than any other one factor to make Ger
man commerce and industries what they
are today.-Philadelphia Record.

CURRENT NEWS AND GOSSIP
OF INTEREST TO INVESTORS

products are awaited with considerable
anxiety. as it is expected that prices
will be reduced iE the hope of stimuIat-
ing a demand. The general situation
does not encourage the current extreme
pessimism over the iron and steel trade.
as underlying conditions are strong.
while the outlook appears to favor in
creased building operations in all parts
of the country. The award of the con-
tract of the Pennsylvania tunnels will
call for an enormous tonnage OF iron
and steel
1t is believed that a good deal of short
stock has been put out in anticipation
of a cut in steel prices, and there IS
latitude. therefore. for interesting spec
ulation as to what effect the reaffirm-
ing of the old prices would have upon
the market The bear party will still

quarter to fall back upon. but whether
1t would stand pat is a debatable ques-
ton. Some think that if it should be
decided to MAINTAIN prices the news Of
such action on the part of the manu-
facturers would cause a sharp rally
on short covering. The bear crowd, at
all events, would be greatly disappoint-
