The history Of live stock breeding is
largely a history of variation and Inn
provement. New breeds have come
forward from time to time in all kinds
Of live stock. AS a rule these have
been the result of some locality's selec-
ton of animals adapted to its needs
and their constant Improvement. Aside
from the poultry industry, which has
been enriched by a number of made"
breeds. the new breeds have not sprung
from any mans fancy, but from many
mems needs. They were first found
useful by many, then bred with such
skill and to such uniformity that they
became entitled to breed distinction.
Every now and then we see men com-
ing forward with some new idea in
breeding, the product of which they at
tempt to establish as a separate breed.
They are rarely successful. An indi-
vidual fancy Is not as a rule based on
the broad foundation Of usefulness to
the many, which is an essential to pop
ularity. New breeders are apt to be at
tracted by these SO called breeds and
usually to their sorrow. They waste
time and money on something for
which no general demand exists after
they have 1t. when they might be rails
ing and selling animals whose breed
recommends them to a certain extent.
There are now breeds enough to fulfill
the needs of every land and cline and
breeds that have a heritage of genera
tons of selection for some purpose as
assurance of excellence and uniform
ity. Better join hands with the breed
ers and improvers of these than to seek
'some new thing which is likely to
show you more about the law of varia
ton than anything else.-Farm and

Always In a Hurry.

M
know a little maiden who is always in
a hurry;
She races through her breakfast to be
in time for school,
She scribbles at her desk in a hasty sort
of furry
And comes home in a breathless whirl
that fills the vestibule.
She hurries through her studying. she

Like an engine at high pressure. as II
leisure were a crime;
She's always In a scramble. no matter
where she's going,
And yet-would you believe it?-she new
er is In time.
It seems a contradiction until you know
the reason,
But I'm sure you'll think it simple. as I
do, when I state
That she never has been known to begin
q thing in season.
And she's always in a hurry because
she starts too late.

Q THE CHILDREN
Youthful

Two children recently made a sue
cessful balloon ascent in England, the
occasion being a military fete at the
Alexandra palace. The occupants of
the car were NJ. Ruguste Gaudron.
his little daughter Ena, aged nine, and
Master Dudley Barton, aged thirteen,
the son Of DIR. Barton, who Is building
the great air ship at the palace at the
present time. The balloon started in a
southerly direction and remained in
view for about twenty minutes, when
1t entered the clouds. Nothing more
was heard of the balloon until the occu-
pants reached home at about 2 o'clock
the next morning after having had. a
most enjoyable and interesting trip.
during the course of which they crossed
and recrossed the Thames on no less
than five occasions. The highest alti-
tude attained was 5000 feet, at which
height the reflection Of the sun on the
masses of white clouds below was
quite dazzling, and the clothes of the
aeronauts were covered with boar frost.
At one time it was feared they would
have to descend into the Thames, as the
wind had dropped almost to a dead
calm and the balloon hung continuous
" for an hour over the river. At 8
o'clock, however, a little puff of wind
took them over a marshy spot two
miles on the other side of Greenhithe,
and NJ. Gaudron took immediate adj
vantage of this and opened the valve,
when the party made a safe though
somewhat rapid descent. These are
probably the youngest %aeronauts who
have ever made a journey together in
q free balloon.

Potatoes and Apples Short.

With rot in the potato crop, scab on
the apples and Jack Frost on the heels
Of the lazy corn crop, farmers have
their troubles this year. We fear that
the potato rot will be serious. The wet
soil and ''muggy" weather give just
the right conditions for the rot to
spread. If in the face of these trou-
bles buyers try to get the apples for
less than they are worth by spreading
reports of big CROP there will be live
~ times. Our reports show that the
apple crop is short in sections where
large supplies are usually provided. Do
not give away your apples or be
frightened into selling them at a low
figure. The demand is greater than
ever before, while the total supply is
less than last year.-Rural New Yorker.

The state department is making vigorous ef- forts to communicate with MT.
