VALUE OF pEDIGREES.
Thorough Knowledge of Families to
Achieve Satisfactory Results in
Raising of Hogs.

w. NJ. McFadden, in an address be-
fore Iowa swine breeders, said:
Only by the intelligent use of the
knowledge of pedigrees have the best
results in breeding been obtained, and
yet nothing has been attended with
such disastrous results as the pedigree
craze. 1t seems quite impossible for
the average breeder to know just how
far to go with the use of the pedigree.
He learns to study pedigree so as to
derive the information he wants in re-
gard to what it means and to note the
effect of blood lines in crossing and
to determine what might reasonably
be expected from an animal after the
proper study of its ancestors. Having
attained some little success along this
line, a breeder is almost sure to be-
come intoxicated with the pedigree
craze, and then comes the disaster,
both in a financial way and in the
breeding results. No man ever yet
made a success who bred for pedigree
alone, and, on the other hand, no man
has ever made a permanent success
who disregarded pedigree. A pedigree
should be valuable for the purpose of
showing the commingling of blood
which produces certain results. A
well-posted breeder soon learns that
certain families have peculiar char
acteristics and he may want just those
| characteristics, or he may wish equal
ly as much to avoid them. 1t is unfor-
tunate, however, that the study of ped
igree frequently leads to the use of
an animal simply because it is well
bred. In no way is it more possible to
perpetuate certain undesirable quail
ity than by the use of well-bred, OF
so-called well-bred, scrub. A thorough
knowledge of families will enable a
breeder to foresee, certain results of de.
velopment in an animal that is ot
great advantage in determining its
value.

THEY LIVE IN SILENCE.
Cnrme1ite Order, n Relic of Medt1e-
val Times, Is showing some
Growth in This Country.

Prayer, penance, fast and silence
during all the 365 days of the year, is
the manner of life of an order of wom-
en- who have just established another
branch of their institution in the
United States. They are known as the
discalceated nuns of Mount Carmel
and are followers of the Church of
Rome. Despite the fact that this
strange order of women is relic of
the medieval age, and that the daily
routine of their lives is entirely con-
trary to the dictates of modern civili-
cation, they are gaining strong
foothold in this country, and their
converts and numbers are steadily in
creasing.
In a gloomy looking old house on
Poplar street, just west of Fifteenth
street, in Philadelphia, they have
opened, or, more properly speaking,
have entered and closed, another con-
vent of Mount Carmel. In it are clois-
tered six young nuns. There are also
two lay sisters, who attend to the
business of the institution. These six
choir nuns, as those taking the per-
petual vows are called, have never
since the day of their profession en-
tered the world, nor come in contact

Trees from the nursery.

If young trees are received from the
nurseryman be careful and not expose
the roots to the action of dry winds.
AS many insects and diseases may be
distributed from nurseries all trees
should be very carefully examined, no
matter how young they may be, When
setting them out prepare the land well,
and give the roots plenty of room. Use
no manure, but place the top soil next
the roots. Shorten back the tops, so
as to be able to shape the trees in the
future, and also for the purpose of pro-
viding more nourishment at the start.

You will see plenty of women who
will look smart for a few weeks each
season and then degenerate into
dowdiness. 1t is because they do not
take good care of their clothing and
its freshness lasts only short time.
Sometimes they are women who have
both time and money, but are lack
ing in good habits and for them no
excuse can be found. A tired body
and very little spare time will re-
ceive pardon for many omissions of
duty, but, truth to tell, not among
such surroundings do we find untidi-
ness as a general thing, Business
women are compelled to keep up ap-
pearances, sometimes by the rules of
the house which commands their
services and always by the knowledge
that pleasing appearance is of finan-
cial advantage to them in any en-
ployment.

WILD AND WOODY FAST.

New York. Sept, 16--A band OF r;f-
fans numbering about 90. known to the
police on the East side as the Cherry
Hill gang, engaged In shooting ar
fray early today at Rivington and Ell
dredge streets. One man was seriously
wounded and his assailant pursued by
a policeman, did not halt until he was
brought to the ground by bullet.
The battle, according to the police
was the result OF an old feud between
two gangs on the East side. Hundreds
Of persons on the East side were arous-
ed by the shots and two policemen
who were quickly on the scene, saw the
gang running away. They found man
on the sidewalk. suffering apparently
from severe wounds. Leaving the in
jured man they started in pursuit OF
the one whom they believed to have
caused his wound,
A running fight ensued and the man
finally fell with shot through the
body. When the police returned to the
scene Of the fight they found that the
first victim had crawled away. Later
man was picked up in. the Bowery
severely wounded.
Following the usual custom among
the roughs who are identified with the
CHERRY Hill gang" the wounded man
refused to talk 10 the police about the
fight.
