animal breeders of the country is wise.
 Little progress has been made in our country along the line of animal
 breeding, while the study of the plant has had much more attention. Many of the principles controlling breeding are alike in both cases. The breeding of one should be familiar with the breeding of the other. The adaptation of plants and animals to our several attitudes and meridians is an im. perative necessity. The agricultural development of our country waits for this. l wish you every possible suc- cess in your undertaking, and assure you that the Department of Agricul- ture is in sympathy with you"
 The American Breeders Association has wisely determined upon the pub lication of it's first annual report. It is gratifying to know that the financial basis of the organization even now is such as to warrant this action. In doing this they will immediately place themselves in contact with that strong and active class of men who are en- gagged in animal breeding, as we'll as the equally enthusiastic breeders of plants.
 This association can be developed into mighty power in the agricul- tural world. In general manner it can direct effort and reward success. It can stimulate ambition and direct genius. It's annual meetings may be symposium's of the years scientific research, and it's annual reports preg- nant with the latest results in agricul- tural investigation.
 Every active breeder, either of ani- mals or plants. should give this assO- citation encouragement. Many of the most progressive will place themselves in communication with the officers of that body. A thoroughly united effort is highly advisable in the ad- vancement of American agriculture.

Congratulations.

Mir. John H. Cullom, editor of the Garland, Texas, News, has written a letter of congratulations to the manu- lecturers of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as follows: "Sixteen years ago when our first child was baby he was subject to croupy spells and we would be very uneasy about him. We began using Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in 1897, and finding it such a rtliable remedy for colds and croup, we have never been without 1t in the house since that time. We have five children and have given it to all of them with good results. One good feature of this remedy is that it is not disagreeable to take and our babies really like it, Another is that it is not dangerous, and there is no risk from giving an overdose. congratu- late you upon the success of your remedy" For sale by all druggists.

AMERICAN BREEDERS, ASSOCIATION.

When few of the leading scientists, plant breeders, animal breeders and agriculturists of the country convened at St. Louis few days ago and per- fected the organization of the Ameri- cad Breeders Association, we be- lieve that their efforts marked an epoch in the history of scientific agri- cultural investigation. In unity there is strength and encouragement. When scientists interested in the develop ment of both plant and animal life join their forces for consistent and harmonious labor and investigation there is promise of greater accom- plishments than could be realized in a divided application. Leading investi- gators and thinkers understand this. They foresee plainly that in orga niza- tion lies their hope for the utmost re- alization along scientific paths. Typ ical of these conclusions is the telegraphed greeting to the scientists and agriculturists in session at St. Louis recently by the Hon. James Wilson, secretary of agriculture, Washington, when he said:

A Forecast.

Possibilities in View in the Event OF
the japanese Taking Port Arthur.
1t begins to look as if the taking of
Port Arthur by Japan were really
among the possibilities of the near
future. and if this event should take
place, there is one phase of the situa-
ton which viii be especially well
worth watching.
The conduct of soldiers in taking a
city has lately been considered a test,
not only of the discipline of the
army. but of the civilization of the
people. This is a development com
paratively recent in the history of
war. So short a time ago as our own
war between North and South the re-
straint of victorious troops was a
problem not always solved with sue
cess; and in bygone ages the sack of
a city was perhaps the most horrible
Of spectacles. Those who remember
the description of such an event,
which Shakespeare puts into one Of
the speeches of his Henry V, may see
the difference between medieval and
modern warfare in point of the waste
of innocent lives, the wanton de-
struction Of civilization.
So lately as the Boxer troubles
scenes occurred in China which re-
called this powerful description; and
the perpetrators of the crimes were
not all Chinese. 1t has been often
said that the japanese are newcomers
in the world of civilization; that they
have made a leap from barbarism tC
modern culture. If they capture PORT
Arthur, and possess the city without
footing. without outrage. in order
and quiet so far as circumstances viii
permit, they viii have shown most
signal proof of the thoroughness with
which they have learned the lesson
Of progress.

German editor is significant as show
ing the wide difference between Ber-
lin and New York. He said that
in Berlin newspapers We're never
hawked about the streets; the police
would not allow it. One might al
most say that this apparently small
matter sums up the whole difference
between the two countries. Here in
America we tolerate a nuisance until
it has become a convention; and its
abolition is resisted on the ground of
humanity Any attempt to prohibit
the hawking of newspapers in our
streets would now be called an at
tempt 10 take away the bread OF
small boys who can earn their living
in no other way, an interference with
individual liberty; and yet the boys
would not starve if such a change
were made, and they would sell just
as many papers if they did not yell
the names up and down the streets.
The third significant comment
made by Herr Won Kupffer was the
innocent question, Are skyscrapers
really necessary" OF course they
are not, but we like to think they are.
If the city were ali built up evenly
at a reasonable height, with a tower
or a mass of architecture here and
there TO mark some especially impOr-
tant city building, there would be just
as much room for everybody to live
and work as there is now, and no
body would be living at the bottom
of a canyon or on the top Of a Tower
of Babel. However. the tall office
building and apartment house are
facts Of our life, and have probably
come to stay.
