topic that is of particular interest to
those who have attended the Interna-
tionaI Live Stock exposition here dur
ing the week as well as to every man
in the country who raises stock for
the market
The blooded COW and sheep and hog
were considered as money makers and
as such were compared. much to their
advantage, with ordinary or scrub
stock 1t was shown by statistics that
the farmers of the province who were
rearing stock of approved quality by
scientific and common sense methods
of breeding and feeding were adding
millions of dollars to their revenue
each year. The proportion of gain
was demonstrated to be closely related
TO the improvement of breed and
methods.
In a much broader way this lesson
is the most important one of the great
stock show just closing here. Breeds
of proved quality have been exhibited
and compared. Stock raiSerS from
leading agricultural countries have
met on common ground and have told
one another of their experiences. a
spirit of friendly rivalry has brought
the best TO the front and has shown
how inferior grades may be bettered.
But through all the exposition and
competition for prizes has run the
practical idea of increasing the market
value of the individual animal. Every
time stock raisers and dealers meet in
this way the fact is enlarged and
strengthened that the money value of
animals raised for food is in proper
ton to the pureness of breed and the
care taken in raising and feeding.
The lessons taught by the live stock
show mean millions in the pockets of
American farmers if they have been
well learned and if they are earnestly
applied to the raising of stock in fu-
ture. And only a knowledge of the
additional millions in revenue brought
by blooded stock would enable one to
estimate the great value of these
stock shows not alone to the stock
raiser. but TO the consumer and to the
country at large.

The superhuman activity of the
kaiser is well known. He looks after
the music. the painting. the literature
and the morals of Germany: but that
is only his diversion. for above all that
he is the German emperor. AS kaiser
his work falls under three heads
foreign affairs. home affairs and the
army and navy. The department which
gives him the most work is that for for
cign affairs. for last year he read 1867
dispatches from abroad and 341 tele-
grams and gave personal decision in
9IS cases. He never signs any dis
patch without reading it. He also has
a great number of verbal reports made
to him. and il is probably this over
work that renders him so nervous on
occa sions and leads him to speak out
things that he had better have con-
fined to his thoughts or to his conf
dentisl cc:-espondence.
