HEAD OF sHoRTHoRN BULL.

mildly beaming; ears large, well
haired and richly colored, nose straight
and full, lips large and round and firm.
All these things go to make up an en-
bodiment of power, strength, constitu-
ton and beauty that is worthy to wear
a crown. The neck that carries this
masterpiece must be tower Of
strength, with a full high crest, clean
throated and curving into the great
broad chest, with it's full, deep, round
ed brisket, all of which must show
that within are mighty vital organs
that in a great flood tide supply the
streams of life. What grand and pow

strong and round and smooth are the

PROFESSIONAL EATERS.


Eldians Employ Substitutes to Com
sumo Food For Them.
One of the most striking customs Of
the past that are preserved by the In
dams of today is found among the
tribes on the Devils Lake reserva-
ton in North Dakota. An official Of
the Indian service gives the following
account of this peculiar practice:
From time immemorial the Devils
Lake Sioux have adhered to an old
custom in regard to the treatment of
guest. According to their etiquette,
1t is the bounden duty of the host to
supply his guest with all the food he
may desire, and as a rule the appor
tionment set before the visiting Indian
is much in excess of the capacity Of a
single man.
But by the same custom the guest
is obliged to eat all that is placed be-
fore him, else he grossly insults his
entertainer. 1t was found that this
practice would work a hardship, but
instead of dispensing with the Gus
tom the Indian method of reasoning
was applied, and what is known as the
professional eater was brought to the
front.
while the guest is supposed to eat
all that is placed before him, it serves
the same purpose if his neighbor as
sists in devOuring the bountiful repast
the main object being to have the
plate clean when the meal is finished.
at is not always practicable to de-
pend upon & neighbOr at table to as
sist in getting away with a large din
ner, and in order to insure the final
consumption of the allotted portion
visiting Indians call upon these pro
feSsional eaters, whose duty it is to
sit beside them through q meal and
eat what the guest leaves. The pro
feSsional eaters are never looked upon
in the light of guests, but more as
travelling companions with particu-
lar duty to perform.
''These eaters receive from ST to So
and even So for each meal where they
assist. 1t is stated by the agent of
the Devils Lake reservation that one
of the professional eaters has been
known to dispose Of seventeen pounds
of beef at a sitting. That they are
capable Of eating an almost fabulous
amount l myself can testify. "-Hy-
gienic Gazette.

Grant and His Boy Admfrer.

believes you are a great man in spite
of the fact that you write your sigma

The president took a card from his
pocket, wrote his name on it and hand
ed it to him.

the fact must be kept a secret between

When your garden is not far from
the woods you may be awakened in
the middle of the night by series of
most alarming yells and bowls, oc-
casioned by some hungry woodchuck
that has cei1e for a nocturnal visit to
the cabbage putch and met with a
warm reception from your dogs. The
wo2dchuck usually gets away appar-
emily unharmcd, while the dogs are
left to nurse their scratched noses and
fore paws. The Woodchuck, in fact, has
plenty of courage and will always fight
III preference to running away.
Throughout the summer this little
wood pig" spends most of his time in
the vicinity of his buTOw, coming out
early in the morning to take his break
fast, returning; to his nest for a morn
ing nap appearing again at noon and
late in the afternoon for his dinner and
supper, only to return again for an
other snooze. Occasionally he makes
a visit to some neighboring orchard or
garden. BY Oct. 1, when he is fat, he
retires into his subterranean home for
a long sleep, until. as we are led to be-
lieve, the proverbial ''groItnd hog day.

Pure Bred Sires
For Beef Herd

Every breeder of live stock has two
great battles on hand. One of these is
the battle for Improvement and the
other is the greater battle against the
deterioration of his herd. Many cattle
breeders seem to feel that when they
have become possessed of Il pedigreed
bull their success as breeders is as
sured, says Kansas Farmer. They fail
to realize the fact that a pedigree does
not make bull.
A pedigree is only the written as
surance that the ancestors of the ami
NAL have done well under proper care
and a promise that he will do well if
rightly handled With q pedigree the
chances of the animal proving himself
good one are excellent, though not
absolute. Without pedigree it is
mere gueSsWOrk.
There are many unregistered bulls
that are good individuals, but crop
of their calves shows the weak points
in their ancestry, while their continued
use is sure to result in the deteriora-
ton of the herd. A pure bred bull that
assurance Of victory in the fight
against deterioration, but is a power
full instrument i'm the hands Of the
breeder in his battle for Improvement.
While it may sometimes be neces-
sary to outcross cattle for the sake of
adding certain desirable points, it
should never be permissible to cross
breed them, and a scrub bull should
never exist. Even a poor steer is much
more valuable than poor bull because
he cannot injure the herd
A good bull' does not necessarily
mean high priced one, but it does
mean pure bred one.
Pure bred bulls are so cheap and
land values are becoming so high that
the farmer must use them not only to
succeed, but to keep himself from fail
ing in his business.
Leader of the Herd.
In an article in Breeders Gazette on
judging cattle w. A. Harris says of the
head of the herd:
The head broad, strong, powerful,
curled like the front of Jove, with
horns of power, firm based and curved
in beauty: eyes full and bright, yet

The Butcher Pig.

Charles Cooper, head hog buyer for
the National Packing company, in al
interview in Breeders Gazette said:
Nowadays the butcher pig weighing
210 to 260 pounds tops the market most
Of the year. 1t is true that at long
intervals the light hog enjoys the pre-
MUM, but the matured butcher pig
not weighing over 27O pounds is the
most profitable animal for both pro-
Queer and killer. We find that these
medium weights are the healthiest.
They rarely show tuberculosis the
bulk of condemnations being excessive
weights. Growers marketing medium
weights sell them at seven to eight
months old, reducing the risk of loss
and making a quick turn. Hog raisers
aiming at maximum results will pro-
duce this grade but they must be ma
tured to top the market. Anything
weighing 200 to $50 pounds-sometimes
l stretch it to 300-will fill the BILL but
a square back and good finish are es-
sential to top price getting"

Spiders.

Spiders are not insects, as most peo-
pie think. The spider has eight legs,
than six. The nervous system is con-
structed on totally different basis,
and SO are the circulation and respira-
ton. The eyes are different, the in
sects having many compound eyes and
the spider never having more than
eight and all of them simple. Then a
spider has no separate head, the head
and the thoraX being fused together.
