When an animal, or, for that matter,
a man, is carefully trained for the do
ing of some particular kind of work it
is noticeable that his progeny will al
ways take more readily to that partic-
ular kind Of work than the progeny Of
individuals not so trained. It is cult
waiting this tendency which has result
ed in giving us some Of the most valu-
able types of animals we have The
st. Bernard dog because Of this ances-
trail training needs little effort to make
him the searcher and Pescuer Of lost
travellers in mountain regions; the
young hound readily takes to the track
of the rabbit or deer, the setter to the
trail Of the winged wild fowl, the shep-
herd dog to the care and herding Of
the flock of sheep. Following this law
has given us the many types of fancy
pigeons and poultry, and the same rule
worked to its ultimate end has given
us all our improved breeds of domestic
animals.
Small gas plants for the use of our
smaller towns are rapidly coming into
use, affording cheap fuel supply and
means OF illumination. They are made
possible by the use Of what is known
as gas oil, grade Of kerosene oil which
is the by product Of the oil refneries
which is worthless for illuminating
purposes and not heavy enough for
lubricating Oil, which, being very
cheap, can be used by means Of gas
retort to furnish a gas Of excellent
quality for lighting and heating pur-
poses. The owner of such plant in q
town of 1000 people told us recently
that he would rather have $50 patrons
for such Q plant than to own the ma
tional bank Of the town, so far as as
sured profits were concerned. In this
case the gas was furnished at $15O
per LOCO feet, which because Of the
superior heating and lighting quality
OF such oil gas was equivalent to ordi-
nary gas at 81 per 1000 feet.

In considering the varied things
which may be rightly credited to the
administration Of our worthy president
we incline to think that so far as this
country is concerned the legislation
providing for the reclamation Of the
desert by means of irrigation will In
the end prove to be the most far reach
ing and beneficial. AS the several irri-
cation projects now under way are
sized up, it appears that an empire of
the most fertile land on earth is by
means Of irrigation to be made avail
able as homes for the American people.
We have lately inspected line Of agri-
cultural products from some Of the
irrigated farms Of Wyoming, and these
samples, at least SO far eclipse similar
products of the nonirrigated sections
that what we have been wont to term
the best farm land on the continent is
simply outclassed.

FRloHTFUL STREETS.

The recent rains have pot the prin-
cipal streets OF our city in a frightful
condition, and the mud has been 9 dis
grace 10 the looks aud comfort Of our
fair city. The water has stood in the
CUTTERS along Union street, opposite
the court house, until II has become
thoroughly mixed with the clay, pre-.
senting a sickening sight and causing
much comment from the many stran-
gers at present stopping here.
Dirt has been hauled on many OF the
streets and then taken away, the only
effect apparent being q depletion Of the
funds for highway improvements. No
benefit can be done until the work is
performed in a proper manner, the gut
terra put In shape and surplus water
carried of.
The only way Il TO do properly the
work that can be done with the means
at hand. The streets can be put In
shape to stand heavy traffic for many
years, aud even II only a small por-
ton is done each year, let it be done in
a way that will make Il a credit to the
city.
With good streets and sidewalks
Gainesville would be one OF the hand
soonest cities In the South, and il is
hoped that these suggestions will be
taken in the spirit In which they are
giyen-for the best interests OF our
city.
