RAISING FINE CATTLE.

The secret of success in the breeding
Of fine cattle is in starting with the
right ideal and sticking to it. The ac-
tive years OF mans life are sufficient
for his acquiring fame, if not fortune,
in breeding one distinct breed If he
starts right, breeds right and feeds
right. 1t is the fixed. determined pur-
pose that will bring him to the desired
goal, and without this it is never
reached.
To the beginners | would say, delib-
crate long in the selection of a breed
and an ideal. Having once adopted
them, perscvere to the end in the work
of their better development. Choose
a breed as you would choose wife,
and if | remember rightly, | married
the girl loved best A breeder must
like his cattle and like his business If
he expects time and money to produce
something superior and demands and
receives price that pays well for the
extra pains taken.
This rule applies to the raising Of
cattle as well as to anything else; like
produces like, not just alike but often
better. Get and produce the best and
YOU will receive prices accordingly. My
experience of many years in cattle
buying leads me to know that the best
breeders get the best prices. Let me
say to the breeders Of fine cattle, breed
nothing but the best and you will have
no cause TO complain of a dull market
or low prices.-A. c. Binnie, in Amer
lean Agriculturist.

HOW TO SPLIT PAPER.

Paper can be split into two or even
three parts, however thin the sheets.
II may be convenient TO know how to
do this sometimes, as, for instance,
when one wishes 10 paste in a scrap
book an article printed on both sides
Of the paper.
Get piece of plate glass and place
II on a sheet Of paper. Then let the
paper be thoroughly soaked. With care
and little skill the sheet can be split
by the top surface being removed.
The best plan, however, is 10 paste n
piece Of cloth or strong paper TO each
side Of the sheet to be split. When
dry, quickly and without hesitation,
pull the two pieces asunder, when one
part Of the sheet will be found to have
adhered TO one and part 10 the other
Soften the paste in water and the
pieces can be easily removed from the
cloth.-The Household
