Cross Breeding
Beef Cattle

When a breeder has made a success
full cross 1t usually happens that he
breeds his cross bred animals back to
either one or both of the breeds out of
which the cross was created and In all,
probability gets lot of mongrels, no
two Of which have a sufficient likeness
in common to be regarded as the same
thing, says al Illinois correspondent Of
Breeders Gazette If the two breeds
are well bred the mixture Of blended
and unblended characters will show
worse product than though one of the
group crossed was of cold blood. The
grading up on either side to the pure
breeds will of course produce an ami
NAL with great strength Of the pure
blood, but even though the cross bred
animal had desirable qualities as re-
suit Of the cross and then was graded
up and afterward bred together as
grades the product would be new
thing, unlike either of the pure breeds,
unlike the cross bred or unlike the
grades. 1t would most likely be mon
grel an awful mixture Of characters.
The creative power of heredity would
in such combinations make a great va
riety of blends, and there would be al
most every combination Of characters
in the product except what the breeder
wanted. Even If one or more were
produced which approached the breed
er's ideal they could not be depended
on to reproduce themselves. Their en-
bryonic condition would be In an incon-
ceivable state of disturbance.
Authorities on breeding laws gener-
ally agree that cross bred animals can
not perpetuate their type. This Is only
partly true. There is but one way,
however, in which desirable cross bred
animals can perpetuate themselves
with a great degree Of certainty and
finally establish a breed through their
near descendants, and that is by breed
ing one cross bred animal to another Of
identical blood. But no one can tell
what the product Of two desirable
cross bred animals alike in breeding
will be until he has tried the expert
ment Of breeding them.

A PROLIFIC Brood Sow.

A Dublin Qnd.) correspondent Of the
Chicago Record-Herald says: James
Diehl has a brood SOW that is seven
years old, and it is one of the most
prolific sows in this part of the coun-
try. A year ago last August she gave
birth to twenty pigs, in February fol-
lowing that to sixteen, in June sixteen
and in December sixteen She raised
forty-one out of these sixty-eight pigs.
AT five and a half months old one of
them weighed POS pounds and another
245 pounds. The SOW is probably the
mother of 1000 pigs.

EARLY Maturing Steers.

The feeding steer to mature early
mush be compact and blocky in build,
says H. r. Smith of the Nebraska ex-
pertinent station. The long legged,
lanky kind, wide spaced from hip to
rib, is invariably one which will re-
quire an extended period of forced
feeding to be made fat enough for
market. Such steers in a feed lot
must be withdrawn and fed longer or
sold at sacrifice If they are fed I'M

him come around reminding me of it.

Ostrich of Uganda.

There are three types Of ostriches
in Africa-those which are found
south of the Zambesi, the Somaliland
or East African ostrich and the north
ern ostrich, formerly inhabiting the
country across from the Sahara, from
the Sudan and Nigeria to Tunis and
Algeria, and from Senegal eastward
to Syria and Arabia. The feathers Of
the Uganda ostrich are of excellent
quality, while the SOmaliland or east
African ostrich has, as a rule, very
poor plumes. The feathers Of COM
merce are for the most part obtained
from the northern and southern types
of the bird. Some attempts have been
made to start ostrich farms in the east
ern part of the Uganda protectorate.

a ballot cast for Mckinley against the
latter's protest.
1t was then that he fully realized the
sweep of the tide toward Mckinley
From that hour he threw himself heart
and soul into the work of crystallizing
into practical form this sentiment for
Mckinley. Mr.. Hanna held persist
emily to his self-appointed task until,
In the spring Of 1895, he finally essayed
the task of securing Mckinley dele
gates for the national convention held
in st. Louis the following year.
1t was only by the strongest personal
effort that President Mckinley prevail
ed upon him to become a candidate
for the senate, to fill the vacancy
caused by the selection of John Sher-
man as secretary of state. In 1897 he
was appointed United States senator
by Gov. Bushnell, of Ohio, and to this
seat he was elected in 1898 for both
the short and. long terms, and in Janu-
airy of this year was reelected.
Mr.. Hanna was regarded a friend of
labor During prostration in the
iron industries, when all the mines in
the Michigan region were shut down
and the miners families were in dis
tress, his mine was kept running and
over 100000 tons of ore piled up on
the docks, in order to give employment
to the men and support to their fam
lies.
AT one time a superintendent was
about to introduce two large steam
hoists and shovels for unloading YES
sells, but as soon as Mr.. Hanna heard
of the matter he ordered the machines
away, saying that the men were
brought there to do the work, and their
families needed the wages.
A notable instance of the camara-
derie between his men and him was
shown at the time Of the Cleveland
railway strike of 1899, when his en-
ployes refused to enter into it, be-
cause, as they said, they had no griev-
ance, We're well treated and satisfied.
Again in 1867 the Hanna proper
ties were the only ones in which there
was no trouble during the coal miners
strike.
AS the head of the Civic Federation
he helped bring together the antag-
onistic elements in wage disturbances.
Mr.. Hanna, upon entering the SEN
ate, at once took a commanding posi-
ton, both by reason of his intimate
relations with President Mckinley and
by his own character. He was chair
man of the national Republican COM
mittee through two campaigns.

Gives Strong Support to Russia.

PARIS, Feb. 15-One of the most
notable features of the first week Of
the war has been the steady increase
of sentiment here favorable to giving
Russia every possible and moral sym
pathetic support. At the outset the
French officials and public generally
maintained that the interests Of France
demanded that she keep clear of the
possibility Of any war entanglements
growing out Of the Franco Russian al
lance. This led some newspapers to
assert that France was placing self
interest before duty and deserving her
best friend in the hour of greatest
need. A gradual reaction has occurred
until today official and public feeling
runs strongly in favor of strengthening
Russia in every, way short of actual
participation in the war.
However, French feeling has not
shown any wild enthusiasm in behalf
of Russia. This Is in rather marked
contrast with the previous manifesto
tons at the time of the cars visit to
Paris and other recent events. Many
individuals are offering their service.
The Russian embassies receive about
100 offers daily Much interest Is man
ifested here in the parts Prince Louis
Napoleon and Prince Jaime de Bour-
bon are taking in the military service
of Russia. The reports that Prince
Louis, who is an officer of high rank in
the Russian cavalry, is to be given
command of the entire cavalry force in
Manchuria are said to be well founded.
Germany's efforts to upset the feeling
between Russia and France are excit-
ing the attention of French officials,
who express the belief that Germany
will endeavor to make the most Of the
present opportunity to strengthen her
position with Russia and weaken that
of France. There Is the fullest conf
dence, however, that this will not sue
coed and that the F'ranco-Russian ALI
ance will remain mistaken.

At about II o'clock yesterday the
senator became unconscious, and
thereafter, though the physicians and
members of the family strained every
nerve to detect return of recognition,
the senator did not speak a word that
could be understood; neither did he
appear to know what was going on
about him. Occasionally he mumbled
a few sounds, but nothing could be
made of them and his little pleasantly
was the last words spoken.
When it was known there was no
chance for recovery arrangements
were made to have a death mask TAX
en- and that was done early this even
ing. The cast will be perfect and will
show the face in it's usual fullness. The
senator's face shows little emaciation,
and, owing to the constant use of oxy-
gen, had taken on what appeared to
be coat of tan which gave it almost
a life-like appearance.

Arlington tonight personally to express
his coincidence to the members of Sen
ator Hanna's family. He may attend

lie shortened his life by excessive de-
Vouon to his ideals of public duty and
leaves a vacancy that will not be filed
soon and a name that will have a place
in our history"
Secretary Hitchcock said:
''The nation has lost a patriot and his
personal friends and associates a low
able companion whose sterling quail
ties of head and heart found their most
congen1aI expression in promoting the
progress and prosperity of his country
men,.
Postmaster General Payne said:
My acquaintance with Senator Han
ma is almost lifelong. I have known
him intimately thirty-f1ve years. In all
the phases Of life / have never known
truer man or more devoted friend."
Speaker Cannon thus expressed him
self:
CAS- a business man, political man
ager and legislator, combining the
qualifications which distinguish men
in each of these groups, Mr. Hanna
was the most forceful citizen of the
United States. To him the great bust
ness and labor interests and the great
body of the people turned having full
confidence in his judgment and patriot
ism, making him the most trusted ar
bitter in the most important public
questions arising for solution"
Senator Foraker said:
'The death Of Senator Hanna re-
moves from public life one of our
strongest and most capable leaders.
His political successes have been ex-
traordinary, especially in view of the
fact that he lacked some of the quail
ties and accomplishments ordinarily
thought essential to a successful pub
lie career. He was not a scholarly man,
and yet he commanded the respect of
the most learned. He was not, in the
ordinary sense, a student of state af-
fairs, and yet he comprehended, as by
intuition, every troublesome problem
that arose and efficiently aided in it's
solution. The secret Of his success
was a strong intellectual endowment,
a keen perception and a courageous
nature combined with pleasing per-
sonality and a plain, direct straight
forward manner that commanded re-
spect and excited confidence"
Gov. Herrick, of Ohio, used these
words:
whatever have accomplished in
political life I owe to the unwearying
friendship of President Mckinley and
Senator Hanna. When the senator was
full Of his own political burdens he
nevertheless found time to attach to
himself hundreds and thousands Of
younger men. He helped them climb
the ladder, assisted, advised and COM
forted."
PRINCETON, N. J., Feb. 15.-Ex-
President Cleveland said tonight:
My relations with Mr.. Hanna were
only such as grew out of our associa-
