A Maine Yarn From Texas.

Sometimes, by getting far enough
away from home, We hear remarkable
things about ourselves which We never
heard of before BY way of the Calves
ton Tribune, we are informed that d
new insurance company, or rather a
new feature of the insurance business,
has Just been launched in the State. of
Maine whose bushes is to insure the
liquor dealers in this State against
detection and conviction. This COM
pany, so we are told by our enterpris-
ing Texas contemporary, in return for
certain sum as premium promises
reimbursement to the liquor dealer
whose stock is confiscated 10y the offices
of the law and fights the case of the
liquor dealers for them whenever they
are brought into court. In other words.
this new insurance company insures
crime.
The Texas paper, after giving long
account Of the methods employed by
this company, proceeds to show that It's
operations are the beginning of revolu-
ton, anarchy and chaos in the State Of
Maine. 1t points out that the next
logical step will be for the company to
insure against the enforcement of the
laws against burglary and even against
murder. The Tribune grieves that
such a thing is allowed in Maine and
says various unkind things about our
state government because it allows
such an insurance company to do bust
ness.
OF course. all this is unadulterated
tommyrot. There is not vestige of
truth in the yarn, but it would be in
teresting to know how such story
drifted down to Texas and succeeded in
fooling an editor whose paper gives
evidence of intelligence and enterprise

marching together again and they are

deprive them of that privilege. The

If those who raise poultry would

access to sunshine during seven, eight

Daisies Follow Railways.

''Buttercups and daisies follow rail-

neer. ''ln India, in central Asia, in
Brazil, the parallel rails run continu-
ally between meadows white and yell
low with home flowers. In the con
struction of all foreign railways
American or English engineers have
a hand. These men know that good
home grass is the hest thing for
holding together the earth on en-
bankments. Grass is tough and last
ing. 1t strikes root so easily that It
practically cements the most flimsy
earhworks. So grass seed from home
is sown on railway embankments all
over the world by the holn9 engineers
helping to build them, and thus in
the most tropical places, among gor-
geous orchids and palms and giant
cacti, you will see mile after mile OF
wholesome, clean home grass, stud

The use of salt as a necessary
supplement to diet has had much in
fluence in shaping the civilization
and exploration of the world. It is
most probable that the oldest trade
routes were created for the salt raf-
fic, as salt and incense formed the
chief necessaries of the ancient days.
This was certainly the case with
caravan routes in Libya and the Sa-
hara, while the mines of north In
dia were the center of a large trade
before the time of Alexander.
Another interesting fact is that
salt has played a considerable part
in the distribution of man. When it
became absolutely necessary to him.
as it did at an early stage Of his de-
velopment, he was forced to migrate
to places where it could be obtained.
This brought him TO the seashore,
where he gained his ideas of mari
time commerce. Lastly, the preser-
vative effects of salt on flesh food
made long oceanic voyages possible
and thus opened up the world to COM
merce and civilization.

a Forward Movement.

The American Shorthorn Breeders
Association took two great steps for
ward at its annual meeting last week.
says National Stockman. The first
was in admitting to registry animals
from ancestors recorded in the 4Oth
volume of the herd book instead of the
goth volume, published in 1878 This
admits TO record many valuable cattle
which were shut out under the old
rule. The second step was the recog-
milton of the milking Shorthorn. An
appendix for the registration of dairy
Shorthorns was provided for and il
was decided to mark with an asterisk
the name of any COW giving 5000
pounds or more milk in year. Dairy
classes at shows will also he encOurag
ed and aided financially. There seems
to be a general feeling that Shorthorn
breeders should get back to the dual
purpose idea in breeding and that
breeders of milking strains deserve
financial encouragement. Moreover,
farmers are demanding Shorthorns
that give more milk rather than those
of extreme beef type. The association
acted wisely in taking steps to perpe-
tuate general-purpose cattle.
