The horse breeder who has achieved

In breeding animals must the confor,
nation and action be superior, but the
breeding must represent a good line of
ancestors to insure the transmission of
good qualities. A choice individual
may be a freak produced by Inferior
progenitors, but such an animal is la
Bile to reproduce the inferior qualities
of it's ancestors rather than It's own in
dividual excellence. SO that when the
husbandman attempts to breed choice
horses from good founda tion stock 1t is
essential that the breeding animals
should possess good breeding. The
cardinal principles of soundness, SYM
metly, breeding and action are all COM
bined in breeding stock OF the best
quality. 1t is not essential that the
animal should have been a prize vim
ner at international shows, but it is
necessary that his breeding trace to
ancestors that have Won show honors.
1t were better to breed fewer horses OF
the best quality than to increase opera
tons by using inferior breeding ami

PATENT LAWS AND THE PUBLIC.

In a recent issue of the Engineering
Magazine there is an article on the top
&c of inventors and inventions, of pat
ent law administration and It's defects
In which the present patent system is
characterized as the one relic which
survived the abolition of the mass of
burdensonre monopolies in various de-
partnents of trade during the reign of
James of England"
Two reasons may be given for the
continued existence of patents-the
stimulation to inventive effort, success
of which means financial gain for the
lnventor, and permanent benefit to
the public after the patent has expired.
But 1t is held that only small percen-
sage of patents meet the latter condi-
ton, because of so many patents being

man and retarding progress instead of
pccelerating it.
Another writer points out that the
source of the trouble lies In the fact
that astute patent solicitors and train
ed lawyers overmatch the inexperienc-
ed, low salaried employees of the pat
ent office, where work is done ''by rule,
and without apparent personal discre-
tion;" and where the ideas of great
minds are passed upon by clerks nos

A TRIBUTE TO DECENci.

The senate passed the bill which re-
fore remarriage. 1t was we'll enough to
pass the bill. The country has grown
tired of open Wife and husband swop-
ping of seeing the law courts used more
as a gate to a new marriage than as
protection to the unhappy and i'll treat
ed wives and benedicts.
Considered as a deterrent to immor-
atty there is very little in the bill With
those who use the divorce courts to es-
cape from one marriage into another
the immortality usually comes first and
the divorce proceedings follow There
is little hope that wait of six months
will make these people wiser or clean
er. The moral effect of the bill lies in
its expression of the disgust OF decent
and respectable elements of the state
over the bold ef,rontery of those who
have called on the courts to assist
and legalize their Haisons. 1t is in the
same line as the segregation of vice.
A law preventing remarriage for six
months carries no penalty to the re-
spectacle whose matrimonial venture
has been wrecked on one rock or an
other. Decency has as general thing
no new marriage tie programmed. The
law will simply make punishably Grim

der an open shed. The corn is exposed
to the atmosphere. but not the rain
The variety is Reid's yellow Dent The
weight on Oct. "a was 6,016 pounds,

HOW TO KEEP CREAM.
Good Advice to Farmers Given
by Chicago Commission People.

Good Advice to Farmers Given
by Chicago Commission People.
During the last five years south AM
icentral Iowa has become a great home
| for the creamery. High priced butte:
has solved again and again the PROB
/ lem before the farm renter of how to
pay rent for high priced land Dur
/ ing the first few years of the creamery
invasion the farmers We're dlstrust-
full of the innovation, and besides that
the work of the butter makers Itself was
not all that could be desired. The
great, long cry during these years has
been for men who could make butter
which would rank 81 per cent in COM
petition. These men at length put IN
an appearance and Iowa dairy butter
now stands at the head of the list This
result has been accomplished partly
| by the circulation OF the best kind Of
instructive literature. notably by the
Chicago commission people. One of
these pamphlets on "Ripening Cream
and Churning,' makes the following
pertinent points:
Cream that was taken from shall
low setting when the milk was sou-
at the time of the skimming may be
CUuIGpu at once as IL has IipSiieu ~
the milk and is ready for the churn.
1t may also be put in can and kept
for several days If it is kept at low
temperature around 30 degrees. To
this cream which has been so preserv
ed can be added the skimmings of sew
eral following days and all thoroughly
mixed, without affecting the value of
the whole. When cream is mixed OF
varying degrees of ripeness there is
always a large loss in the butter milk.
This loss may be lessened II the churn-
ing is done at 4 low temperature. The
cream from separator should be i'm
mediately cooled to a low temperature,
the degree depending upon when 1t Is
churned. If it is to be held several
days it should be cooled to 40 degrees.
Where ice is used this can be accom-
plished with ease"
This new knowledge on the subject
of milk care has permitted the farmer
far distant from the creamery. or the
farmer who cannot be often visited oy
the collector, to keep his cream for
several days without losing anything
