Want Uniformity in FIocks.

The flocks of sheep in which there
is marked similarity in all or nearly
all the individuals of the flock are
the exception, rather than the rule,
writes Prof Thos. Shaw, in the Amer
lean Sheep Breeder. And this holds
true of pure-bred flocks that have
been bred pure for many years as well
as of grades. This result, regrettable
as it is, could be prevented, at least
in a great measure, did the breeder
fully understand the principles which
govern transmission, and did he ap-
ply them with that fidelity which is
the accompaniment of success. Many
breeders are ready to excuse them
selves for this want of uniformity on
the ground that it is the necessary out
come of the law of variation, which is
ever present and more or less opera
tive in transmission.
Is such an excuse valid? The trSt
and important law of breeding is that
like produces like. The second law is
that like does not always produce like,
but something different from either
of the ancestry. Here then are two
laws acting not in unison, but in OPP

A NATIONAL TRAGEDY.
Dramatic Scene at the Degradation of
Csptain OreYfus.

Nine O'clock; General Darras
draws his sword; orders ring out;
the infantrymen shoulder arms;
the saSers Of the cavalry CLEAN; at
the lar edge of the field a little
group appears. 1t is made up of
four artillerymen in somber dol
mans. In the center is Dreyfus,
the light flashing on his sword, on
the three gold GALLONS that mark
his rank. Beside him strides the
adjutant of the guard, the execu-
toner of the military decree,
giant ,of man, cloaked, plumed,
glorious. The little group comes
obliquely across the naked field.
The traitors" step is firm, his head
is high, his left hand grssrs the tilt
of his sword. Without the mob
lifts its dull clamor, the sulky growl
of 5000 alcoholic Threats. Where
the general sits on his horse the
little group halts. The canRoneers
fall back, and Dreyfus stands alone.
Very small he seems; motionless,
cut in steel. And the general
speaks:
"Dreyfus, you are unworthy to
bear arms. In the name Of the
French republic 1 degrade you"
Then the desolate man raises
suddenly his arms to heaven and
cries with loud voice, 81 am limo
CENT?
AS sudden is the roar that comes
from the Latin mob, surging
against the iron fence, DEATH"
and Judas" and "Traitorp' A 81
lence more terrible than the roar
of the mob falls as the executioner
steps forward, stri ps off the epau-
lets, the gold braid, the gold but
tons-ensigns of a mans honor
and breaks across his knee the SOL
dier's sword. And Dreyfus stands
immobile, beaten upon by all the
winds of fate. Only when the sword
snaps in twain a great cry comes
from him-a male cry, sonorous and
stern:
con the heads of my wife and
children | swear l am innocent! l
swear it! Vive la France!"
And the mob, in the streets, at
the gates, on the roof tops, howls:
''Deathl Deathw 1t is the an
swer of France. The parade begins.
The little group is led now by two
officers of the Republican guard.
Slowly it passes the long files of the
soldiery, just beyond sword reach
lest an impulsive saber should reach
the traitors" heart. The little
man is dressed in black rags now.
But lie marches steadily, his head
erect. There is not a culver in him,
so firm is his drilled courage Of a
soldier. When he passes the fence,
behind which the mob seethes, he
cries once more his innocence ard
give la Francew What he says
they cannot hear, but thew answer
him with crucifying clamor. TO
the journalists he says, "Tell
France | am innocentw And they
call him "Judas" and traitor" Not
once does he lower his head in this
grim parade of agony. Not once
does he give way to fear or anger.
As though he had made himself
iron, he passes, prociaiming his
guiltless honor and his love for
France.-Vance Thompson in Sue

A FAIRY STORY.

Once upon a time q girl from
the country fell in love with an
Atchison clerk, says the Globe.
She was determined to win him,
and did. HIS relatives said what
a fine match it was for the clerk !;
the girl was strong and used to
work, and the clerk was poor.
She would be a great help to him.
The clerk furnished a modest
house. The young wife said, of
course, she could do the washing
She had always done it at home,
but the clerk hired a washerwo-
man. Then the young wife
thought the ironing was too much
for her; the clerk hired the iron
ing done. Then a womansEwas
hired to do the scrubbing,ssand
finally the young wife worked the
clerk up into keeping hired girl
and developed a delicate constitu-
tion for herself. She had doctors
bills, treatments" etc. Finally,
one day the Atchison clerk re-
belled as men sometimes DC.
There was a big row and a di-
vorce. When the wife no longer
had anyone to work for her she
gave up her delicate state Of health
and began taking bcarders. She
did the cooking, dishwnshiog, ell
the housework, and the washing
and ironing in her boarding house,
and is now Oh industrious, hard
working, healthy woman.

THAT was the start 1t attracted

rate of three pounds per acre. 1t may
be sown any time. as long as there re
main six weeks of growing weather
before severe frosts are to be expect
ed. If intended to be pastured the
pigs should be turned in before the
rape comes up to the top of their
shoulders. No greater area should be
given than they are likely to keep
down to that height or lower. If not
paStured or cut too close to the ground
it will keep on growing as long as the
growing season lasts. Greater returns
may be expected from soiling than
from paSturing a given area. Feed
ing pigs will generally make more
rapid gains when il is being fed to
them in moderate quantities in pens
than when at pasture on it. Breeding
stock are likely to do better when they
can use it as pasture. Feeding pigs
receiving all the rape they will eat on
rape pasture should receive somewhat
less meal than they would if in their
