THE SHEPHERD
AND HIS STOCK.

To produce and maintain u flock
with uniformly good constitutions. Wig
orous and thrifty, test the ability Of
a shepherd more than TO produce one
that is fine wool producer or that
carries good mutton form, says a
writer in American Sheep Breeder.
Good constitution and breed that
is adapted to the environment are
necessary conditions for vigorous
flock. There is great difference,
however, in the strength of constitu-
ton of different individuals of any
breed. 1t is indicated by the form
and appearance of the animal. A deep
chest. front legs set wide apart, brisket
coming we'll forward, we'll sprung ribs
marks showing plenty of room for
heart, lungs and digestive Organs-are
evidences, though not infallible ones,
of good constitution. Stronger evil
dence Of 1t or lack of 1t Is to be
seen in the motions and carriage of the
animal, the poiSe Of the head and ears,
the expression Of the eye and the ap-
parent spirit of the animal These are
not easy to describe intelligently, but
are easily recognized by the expe'
rienced shepherd.
Constitution is an inherited character
istic. one that is born with the animal

Experience will determine each mans
preference. If hog is wanted that
will attain to great size, is quiet, in
fact rather lazy and sluggish, that will
fatten readily at any age and make
good use of the feed given him, the
Poland China or the Chester White
will fill the bill, writes J. AL Dobie in
the National stOckman and Farmer.
But the POland-China is prone to small
litters, and the Chester White Is prone
to skin diseases In winter unless well
housed and clean bedded. l have
raised hundreds by crossing the Ches-
ter female to the Poland China male,
and the combination Is very hard to
beat. Some strains of the Duroc-Je
seys approached nearer to perfection
than any l have ever tried, and some
approached too nearly to the old woods
hog. A cross between the Poland
China male and Duroc female is the
best all round pork producer l have
ever tried.

A LITTLE NONSENSE.
Why the Stranger Followed the NOrV.
Gus Man.

Gus Man.
A nervous man on his lonely
homeward way heard the echoing
of following footsteps, and dim Vi
sions of hooligans, blackmailers and
garroters coursed through his brain.
The faster he walked the more the
man behind increased his speed,
and, though the nervous one took
the most roundabout and devious
course he could devise, still his
tracker followed. At last he turned
into a churchyard.
"If he follows me here" he
mused, ''tnere can be no doubt
about his Intentions"
The man behind did follow, and,
quivering with rage and fear, the
nervous one turned and confronted
him. "What the dickens do you
want" he queried. "Why are you
following me?"
do you always 60 home like
this" said the stranger, cor are you
giving yourself treat tonight? !
am going up to Mr.. Browns, and
the porter at the station told me to
follow you, as YOU lived next door.
Excuse me asking, but are you 60
ing home at all tonight ?"

Judge X. M. Lands of Chica-
go, who is just in process of de-
Gliding how big a fine the Stand
ard Oil Company can stand with
out being absolutely put out of
business, is not a native Wash
ingtonian, but he is we'll known
in the Capital from the fact that
he was private secretary to Wal
ter Gresham when the latter was
Secretary of State under Cleve-
land. The *. NJ" in front Of
his surname stands for the rath-
er unusual christening names of
"Kenesaw Mountain. 1t hap
pened that little Lands was born
on the day of that famous battle
in which his father participated.
The baby was named for the bat
tlefeld. While private secretary
to Gresham, young Lands ran
the State department single han
ded a good many times, for his
chief was often i'll toward the end
of his term. But one of the dry
remarks of his chief that Judge
Lands is fond of quoting was
made when the two of them first
came to Washington. They were
stopping at a hotel, but were
anxiously looking for a house.
The Secretary of State had to
have a house for purposes of Off
cial entertainment, whether he
wanted to be saddled with one or
not. They had looked all day,
and in the evening had settled
on the only really available and
desirable one. 1t cost 81, 500 a
year. A cabinet officers salary
at that time was $4,000. Judge
Gresham was lying on the sofa
smoking after dinner, as was his
custom. After long silence,
he appealed to his secretary.
Say, Lands, it has just occurred
to me. What in the devil are we
going to do with that other $5OO?'

Just as in other matters in breeding,
not all the conditions affecting 1t are
known, but it is as certainly trans
mitted from parent to offspring as any
other trait. So that 1t is important
that the progeny Of only such animals
as have good constitutions be retained
In the focks, and not all Of them, for
there ia variation In this particular as
in all others, and parents of strong
constitutions sometimes have weak Off
spring. The evidences Of good consti-
tuition should he required In the indi-
viduals themselves as we'll as In the
ancestry of those that are to be re-
talned as breeders.
However good the constitution OF a
sheep may be, 1t cannot retain Its vigor
unless it be well fed. A hungry flock
will not long be a healthy flock, nor
will it retain its health and vigOr IL
it be exposed to climatic conditions
that are much more severe than those
to which the breed has been accus-
toned. The breed must be adapted
to its environment IL the flock Is to be
vigorous. Probably the most common
mistake is the attempt to keep high
grade or pure bred sheep under the
conditions of feed and shelter that are
adapted only to low grades or scrubs.

vironment or else making the environ
ment suit the chosen breed, having in
dividuals of good constitution to start
with and subjecting to a rigorous in.
spection all additions to the flock, there
Is yet one important point in maintain
ing the vigor of the flock. That is
culling. Some sheep have at times all
the outward marks Of good constitu
tion that do not really have 1t. Such
may be allowed to enter the flock, and
they will soon begin to show signs Of
their weakness. Every sheep will
break down from old age and lose
VIgor and become improbable or sue
cumb to disease at some time. The
period of usefulness varies much with
the breed and varies much with indi-
Viduals Of the same breed. Some be-
come Improbable at three or four
years Of age. others at ten or twelve or
even older. The shepherd should have
his flock under his constant observa-
tion, and whenever sheep begins to
show signs of weakness, evidence of
disease or lack Of thrift and vigor it
should be removed from the flock.

Once started in the right direction a
farmer can produce a good grade of
cattle almost as cheaply as he can
grow scrubs. Good pure bred bulls of
all the leading beef breeds can be pur-
chased at reasonable prices, and there
ts not the slightest excuse for the keep
ing of scrub bull at the head of any
herd, With first class cattle as much
profit can be made with smaller in
Vestment for land, cattle, feed and la
bOr than can be produced with laFker
outlay In feeding inferior stock. In
every department of agriculture 1t
pays to produce the best, and this is
especially true with respect to live
stock.

War, war wholesale or retail,
war in twentyfour hours, war in
a week or war in six months.
Anyone who wants war can get
just the sort they require by
picking their newspaper to that
end. There are even some old
fogy sheets declaring there will
not be any war at all. And prob
ably they are just as far right as
any of the rest. This is, of course,
war between Japan and the u
nited States-War talk is so rife
that it is almost unnecessary to
mention the combatants. There
probably will be war, but it is
not in sight, and when it comes
the voyage of the battleship
squadron around Cape Horn will
have passed into history and been
half forgotten. A decade is not
a week in the life of a nation,
and probably it will be decade
before Japan thinks she is in a
position to fight the United
States. When she thinks she is
in that position, physically and
financially, the fight will come.
The prOvocatiOn may be a res
taurant row in San Francisco or
our oppression of the natives in
the Sulu archipelago. The prov
ocation does not matter much.
1t will be found when it is want
ed. But for the present Japan
knows she is not in condition to
fight us, and we do not want to
fight Japan. There it can rest.
But those who want paper war
of any sort can get it by sub
scribing to the right sort of a
paper.

ly that turned out to be untrue.
In this particular case, it may
never be proved that the denial
was untrue, because it is a deli
cate piece of negotiation, that if
it fails, will in all probability
never become public property.
But this is the situation up to
date. This government needs a
better naval base on the Pacific
Coast than it has ever had in it's
own territory. Magdalena Bay
is a splendid, immense harbor on
the ocean side of Lower Califor-
MIA, just suited for a naval base
and a target practice ground.
For several seasons past this
country by courtesy of Mexico
has kept an old coal hulk moored
there and has used the bay for
great gun practice and for a coal
ing station whenever it wished.
The subject of the purchase or
lease of the bay was broached to
Ambassador Creel by Secretary
Root some time ago, not in the
form of an official note, but only
verbally during a talk at the State
department. Thus the Ambas-
sador is technically correct in
saying that the subject has never
been presented to him. 1t has
not been presented, in the official
sense of the term, merely men
toned in the popular understand
ing of the word. Thus close can
one skate to a falsehood in official
language and yet not be convict
ed of perjury. Of course, if a
newspaper man said the same
sort of a thing, it would be a
plain lie, lie.
1t is understood that the SUBJ
ject will be more fully discussed
when Secretary Root visits Pres
ident Diaz of Mexico, this aut-
umn. There is a provision in the
Mexican constitution against al
ienating any territory. But if
President Diaz and President
Roosevelt are both agreed that it
is a good thing to do, there is lit
tie doubt that a way will be found
to do it.
