THE STOCK BREEDER.
He Must Be a Lovable as Well as an
Enterprising Man-Jerseys and Berk-
shires Go Well Together.

AhCoo1O. Lu1COIO. 41LdG
farmer of England, Tom Bates, once
remarked that he could find a dozen
men in England fit to be Prime Min
lister before he could find one man
fit to breed Short horn cattle Ger
tain it is that the work done by
Bates for Short horn cattle is
known and honored the world over.
have never been able to make
out just the qualities of mind that
mark a genius. But there is such a
phenomenon in human life as the
genius. And he appears in every
calling. Every line of human activ-
ity must have it's creative spirit.
And I am fully persuaded that
Thos. Bates was right in claiming
that high success in stock breeding
demands a high order of man. He
must not only have mental gifts of
the high order, for example. con-
structive imagination-the power to
create in his mind an ideal animal
form. Then he must have the power
to hold that ideal steadily before
him as a goal to be striven for. Then
he must have the vigor and clearness
of intelligence to use this ideal as
standard of merit. Then he must
have that curious power of the mind
known as intuition-that is, the
power to see the thing he is looking
for.
Besides these, the successful stock
farmer must be a lovable man. If
you go into your pasture and find
your Berkshire going away from you,
you may know that you have some
vital defect in your character. Bet
ter go home, enter your closet, and
examine YOURSELF Well bred ami
mails never err in the matter of
character. When | get depressed, l
go out to the pasture and sit among
my stock. If Agnes comes up and
lies down at my feet, and my Jer-
seys and ANGUS heifers stick their
noses into my pockets, and my big
Merino ram stands by my side with
dreamy eyes and busy jaws, l take
courage afresh and push. ahead. l
know no purer, sweeter pleasure than
to sit down in the clover before the
setting sun and have some beautiful
animal COME up anu eau CHo SAoo0
between my feet.
Then the stock breeder must be
an honest man. That is. man who
deals fairly and squarely with his
fellows. If you find a man who has
been breeding a certain line of stock
for several years, YOU may trust him.
The Jockey cannot live as stock
breeder. He must quit the work or
change rapidly from one breed to
another.
I should like to see a gathering of
the genuine stock-breeders of North
Carolina and South Carolina. l be-
lieve it would be a set of men that
would compare with our bankers
(these are the best men in our civ
ilization to-day). In fact, it often
happens that a banker is stock
breeder.
l had a delightful visit recently
from a South Carolina breeder-Mr.
W. r. Walker. 1t seemed to me
could have talked with him for
week. He has an eye that can see
a good animal form and the heart
that makes a friend of it at once.
He has a splendid herd of Angus
cattle-67 COWS. And now he pro-
poses to add Berkshires. He gave
me an order for six pigs.
Another real lover of thorough
bred stock is Mr.. r. L. Stroud, of

Recipes for Preserving Eggs.

L thought l was taking special
care of these recipes, but when L
wanted to see them, by some means
they got misplaced. If it is not
asking too much, and you will please
republish them in your next issue,
it will greatly eblige a farmers
wife. Or, perhaps, some of your
readers know of some tried and sue
cessful plan that they would be will
ing to publish.
Union Co., N. @.
Following is the article which ap
peared in our issue of March 28th:
Several readers ask me about the
water-glass method of keeping sum-
mer-laid eggs for winter use. A
very simple thing, indeed. Just at
this time [ only regret not having
laid down more eggs in the same
way. You won't catch me again
without a full supply of eggs in Jan
uary. Lately we have been using our
stock on hand pretty freely. poach-
ing and frying them, and enjoying
them Just as we would strictly fresh
eggs. If taken out of the solution
and kept for some time they are said
to soon spoil. I don't know about
this, not having tried it, but there is
no need of taking them out much
sooner than they are wanted for use.
Buy water-glass, or silicate of soda.
a mucilaginous, or syrupy liquid,
which any druggist will furnish you,
charging you probably forty cents
or more a quart. Reduce this with
ten parts of water q boil the latter
frst), and fill large crock one
third or one-half full. AS the eggs
are freshly gathered from day to day
they are dropped into the liquid,
where they settle to the bottom. Be
sure that you have liquid enough In
the crock to keep all the eggs COW
cred. That is all there is to it."
Writing later our "Uncle 10" en-
dorsed this plan as the best he had
tried, making this additional COM
ment:
Strictly fresh, clean eggs are nee
essary to PUT down. Stale or dirty
eggs will not keep well. Eggs should
not be washed. They should be
packed small end down in stone jars,
or rather suitable vessel, and kept in
a cool, dark place. The vessel should
be kept tightly covered to prevent
evaporation. Fresh eggs can be add
ed daily as gathered from nest;
Wooden vessels can be used as well
as jars or crooks, but nothing hav-
ing iron hoops will do, as the water
glass will rot the iron in a very lit
tie while. Sodium silicate costs sew
enty-fve cents per gallon at drug
stores in Charlotte.
Eggs when taken out Of the solu-
ton have jellv-like covering, which
however, is easily washed off. They
are very nice for cooking and taste
all right when fried, but you cannot
boil one without the shell cracking.

DEAFNESS CAN
NOT BE CURED

NOT BE CURED by local applications, as they can- not reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deaf ness is caused by an intlamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inhamed you have a rum- bling sound or imperfect hearing. and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and un- less the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh. which is nothing but an infiamed condition of the mucous surfaces
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

NO COMPROMISE THE SLOGAN
TWO DEMOCRATIC TICKETS IN
THE FIELD.
A Bitter Conflict Predicted For The
Coming Battle of Ballots
Next Month.

Next Month.
In Anne Arundel politics the politi-
cal pot is at the boiling point 1t is
practically certain that there will be
two Democratic tickets in the field
this fall sircc the decision of the Dem
ocratlc State Convention in recognize
ing the Bannon- Moss -Nutwell faction
by seating their delegates at the con-
vention held last week.
"No compromise is the slogan of
both factions at present, and unless a
very great change takes place in the
minds of the leaders of both sides the
Democratic vote will be split. The
friends of DR.. George Wells. who re-
ceived such a short hearing at the
hands of the Democratic state leaders,
are more than ever united and will
stick to the ticket nominated Mt the
latter primaries, the State Convention
Notwithstanding.
Anne Arundel has always been an
anti organization county, and the Wells
people are perfectly confident of poll
ing more votes for their ticket under
any conditions than con the opposi-
tion, backed up as they are by the
state leaders. The Disagreement be-
tween the two factions has in some
measure come down to a conflict of
party regularity and law, the anti
Wells people leaning on the former for
support and the Wells adherents bas-
ing their claims on the fact that the
primary was conducted under the new
law for Anne Arundel county, that
their ticket has the support of the Su-
pervisors of Election and is III every
respect the regular. ticket by law.
Therefore, they argue. it. can only
be removed from the ballot as the reg
ular ticket by legal action. While
there will be no organized cut of the
franchise amendment, there is no
doubt that il, too, will suffer from re.
sentiment held by the Wells people
against the state leaders.
Mr.. James r. Brashears. one of the
delegates from Anne Arundel, refused
admission to the convention last week,
said that it was impossible to state
the cause to the committee ON creden-
tials in the limited time that was al
lowed them. He had argued that no
fraud had been charged to have been
committed in the change of dates of
the primaries. aud at best it could
only be made out q mistake. The
committee in Anne Arundel was
forced to make this change pending
charges aaginst Mr.. James p Bannon.
who had been appointed one of the
judges of election in the Fourth dis
trict, which could not be heard in.time
for the dates of the first primaries, as
the old board of supervisors had been
disrupted by the action of Governor
Warfield, and his new appointees had
not yet gotten down to regular busi-
ness with the presence of Mr.. Werntz,
the old and Republican member of
the board of supervisors.
What will be done next will have to
remain in abeyance until the courts
have decided which of the two tickets
in Anne Arundel county was entitled
to go upon the official ballot
