Danger of False Standards.

OAAEC VA -
Pedigree is a means Of good or evil
in stock breeding. I have W known
a successful breeder of any kind Of
stock who was not a careful student of
pedigrees. Yet the field Of breeding is
strewn with wrecks and failures. due
to false standards of the value Of pedi-
gree.
A good pedigree never makes a good
animal, yet it is a significant fact that
a superior animal almost invariably
has a good pedigree. This is worth
nothing. 1t NEAR that a good pedf-
gree is an essential factor in producing
q good animal. 1t also means that a
good pedigree does not guarantee a
good animal. A good pedigree without
a good animal is worthless, and even q
positive injury. As a practical breeder
once put 1t, "Of all the scrubs in exist
ence, deliver me from the pedigreed
scrub" ~
tency that comes from the ~concentra-
ton Of blood lines is Just as certain to
p~erpetuase bad qualities as good. There
is no greater fallecy in breeding than
the assumption that practically any
kind Of a pure bred or pedigreed ami
nal will do. and that all the animals
belonging to any particular breed pos
sess the highest and best characters
ties of that breed. 1t is that kind Of
credulity which furnishes customers
for gold bricks.-C. r. Curtis, in The
Twentieth Century Farmer.

when the Fish Leaped.

-.
Professor Charles w. O~ldrieve's
dynamite bombs. thrown into the sea
while he was giving an exhibition OF
walking in wooden shoes on the water
at Revere Beach carnival, caused
thousands of fish to leap into the air
in plain sight Of the great crowds OF
people who lined the shore. 1t was a
feature not down on the programme
but was curiously interesting. Oldrieve
and his wife rowed with some diff
Guilty out through the breakers, then
he put on his wooden shoes, climbed
out Of the boat and began walking on
the surface Of the water. When he
threw the first bomb. the explosion
sent a column Of water high in the air.
There was a momentary calm, then
fish came leaping out Of the water all
around the spot for some distance.
The same thing happened when later
bombs we've exploded. Apparently no
fish were killed.-Boston Transcript.

The Man of Cheer.

We love the man with the smile; the
man with the roses on his tongue; the
man who sees your boys dirty face, but
mentions his bright eyes; who notices
your shabby coat, but praises your studi-
Gus habits; the man who sees all your
faults. but whose tongue is quick to praise
and slow to blame. We ike to meet a
man whose smile will light up dreariness,
whose voice is full of the music Of birds,
whose hand-shake is an inspiration, and
his God bless you" a benediction. He
makes US forget our troubles as the ravens
dismal eroak is forgotten when the wood
thrush or the brown thrasher sings. God
bless the men of cheeri There is plenty
of trouble here, but We need not increase
it. There is a lot OF dying done ahead of
time There are living men who have al
ready crossed Jordan two or three times,
and unfortunately they are not of the type
who Gross the river of Jordan, happy in
the Lord" but who sing, If they sing at
all, dismalest, dreariest, deadliest music.
The very tone is fatal to happiness. IF
you have faith, preach it; if you have
doubts, bury them; if You have joy, share
it: if you have sorrow, bear it. Find the
bright side of things-God's side-and
help Others to get sight of it also.-Zion's

4 MISSION TO ABYSS|N|A
U. S. Consul Skinner to Treat With
King MeneIik.
WILL HAVE ESCORT OF MARINES

The Consul General at Marseilles Thinks
creased by a Conference with the King
"A Warship Will Land Him, and a
Guard Go with Him to the Capital.
Washington. D. C.-The report from
London that United States Consul
General Robert P. Skinner, at Mar
settles, is going to Abyssinia to arrange
q commercial treaty with King Meme
Xix was confirmed at the State Depart
ment.
Mr. Skinner has been planning this
trip for the past two months, and has
several times consulted with the Off
GERS Of the State Department on the
question Of trade possibilities in Abyss
sinia. Mr.. Skinner is still in this coun-
try on a vacation. and is expected to
return to Washington and perfect his
plans for the trip to Abyssinia before
departing for his post at Marseilles.
According to information obtained at
the State Department, Mr.. Skinner is
OF the opinion that trade with Abys-
sinia may be improved by a personal
conference with King Menelik, and
that some kind Of friendly relations
may be established with the Abyssin-
ian ruler to the advantage of the Uni
ted States.
The officers of the Navy Department
acknowledged that there had been cor
respondence. between the State and
Navy. Departments in regard to fur
nishing a guard to accompany Consul
Skinner to King Menelik's capital in
Abyssinia, and that 1t had also been ar
ranged that Mr.. Skinner is to go to
Abyssinia On an American naval YES
sci. The port where it is proposed to
land Mr.. Skinner is Jubitil. and while
no ship has yet been selected for this
mission It is considered very probable
that the Machias, now at Port Said,
will be used.
It is explained that only a small ma
rine guard will accompany Mr.. Skin
ner, and this will probably be taken
from either the Brooklyn or San Fran
cisco, now at Beirut, but not unless
they can be spared from these vessels.
The Navy Department officers insisted
that they did not know what Mr.. Skin
ner's mission to Abyssinia is to be, and
that all that has passed between the
Navy Department and the State De-
partment was a letter asking for the
use of a warship and a small body OF
men to go with the United States Con-
sui.
American cloth is the standard of
value in Abyssinia. according to au-
thorities quoted by Consul-General
Skinner in his annual report, pub
lished by the State Department in
Commercial Relations" 1902. Consul
Covert, of Lyons, also quotes from the
report of the Italian Consul in Abys-
sinia, who says:
sThe population of Abyssinia isabout
100000. The products of the coun-
try, exclusive Of cereals, are ivory, 81
beth OF civet, wax, hides, coffee and
gold, the latter Astounding in the
mountains, where the mines are mere

cans have captured the market against
England, France and Germany. In
spite Of the high price of labor and the
enormous cost of freight for such a
distance, Americans have succeeded in
capturing the trade by the low prices
of their products. Different nations
sell these goods, but they are all Amer
lean made"

Working the Butter.

1t is quite common now to find butter
that is not worked much. I have seen
a good many samples on the market Of
late that IL 1t had been worked more
would have been better. One reaso of
so many lots being defective in this re-
spect is because there has been SO
much said by public instructors at
dairy conventions and dairy schools
about Over-wOrking butter, and the re-
suit is many makers have gone to ex-
tremes and do not work enough. In
my opinion butter that is not worked
enough is quite as faulty as that which
is oyer-worked. Surely too much work
ing is injurious. just the same as too
little is defective. In making good but
ter there are three conditions which de-
pend largely upon the making. and to
get all Of these just right requires the
constant application eeAsKf1let judg-
ment. The first point to be observed
is adhesiveness. This should be suf1-
Gent to cause the butter to stick to-
gether as one mass. In other words 1t
should be "waxy' and compact with
out being sticky OF greasy. Avoid its
being too porous or crumbly. The next
thing to be considered is the amount Of
water the butter contains. To this
point there is much attention being
given at present. Many times when
the butter is taken from the churn
more liquid adheres to the particles or
granules than is desirable; this undue
share rendering it defective. 1t does
not matter whether this moisture is in
the shape OF b~uttermilk, pure water or
brine. an excess OF it Is not wanted,
and this surplus moisture is taken out
by working, hence too little working is
apt to result in leaving too much water
IN the product. Then comes streaks.
1t is known that salt intensifes OF
brings out color in butter, and when
the salt is not thoroughly mixedA with
all particles of the butter alike the i
duct will, after being made up show
light colored streaks, and will have a
mottled appearance when cut down
with a knife. When sud goods are
placed on the market TIL defect will
be found a serioQape, u III result
in d cut in the selling prN wherever
found. To some consumers notified
butter gives the impression Of unclean.
illness and filthy habits in making. and
is very objectionable on this account.
Other conditions may have more OF
less to do with the butter lsefng mot.

Great Damage to Fruit Crops.

The storm damage in the country dis
tricts in New Jersey was relatively as
severe as in the cities. Crops were
badly damaged. The fruit growers of
Hilton suffered considerably. Orchards
of heavily laden trees were stripped of
their fruit. Trolley service is still
paralyzed in many places. At Elem
ington the principal damage was done
to the apple, pear and corn crops.
Many farmers estimate that fully three
fourths of their crop of apples and
pears was blown from the trees. At
Egg Harbor great damage was done
to orchards and vineyards. The grape
crop, which was just ready to be
gathered, is almost ruined, and the
money loss will reach many thousands
of dollars.
