d. c. Dilworth, of East Spokane,
Wash, states in a letter to The Ranch
that he has just returned from the east
with fourteen head of Jerseys, among
which is Rosy of Oakland, an imported
prize winning COW, a daughter of A. M
Bowman's Eminent Second that sold
for $4,000 at Cooper's sale, two years
ago. There is also in the lot brought
back by Mr.. Dilworth an imported
granddaughter of the same bull. He
also secured a son of old Golden Ferns
Lad out of a daughter of Eminent Sec
ond, and says that he is as fine dairy
calf as he has ever seen. Another COW
he brought back with him is Baron's
Ethel that has averaged Al y pounds
of milk for 95 days. Mr.. Dilworth said
that the cattle stood the trip we'll but
naturally fell off somewhat on their
milk One of them had a fine calf on
the way out on the train.
Prof Hacker of Nebraska. states
that he has met the man who has used
four breeds of bulls in the past six
years and that man is ready to sell out
all his young stock and start over
again on a different route. We saw

different Deeds of sires were used for

His first cross was the best, better
than his high grade, practically pure

crosses led to decided failures as he
kept his pigs longer and had them
weigh less each year.

but it can never be made to grow as

Nagging a team is a poor way to get
more service out of it, and tapping
horses with the lines or whip does no
good The thing to do is to teach the
horses to walk fast. Do this and they
will give you all the work you want
without urging.
Many people have the idea that a
PAGER is an entirely separate breed
from the trotter but they are simply
mistaken Although the PAGER ante
dates the trotter by thousands of
years, yet the PAGER of today with few
exceptions is bred from trotting sires.

II the discovery OF independent evo

ence OF an ideal standard toward
which progress leads. how much
stronger Is the evidence afforded by
the fact that bird music is developing

Of the mighty river OF music back to-

narrower and narrower. until It is con.

Magazine. Nor does the decrease
stop there: for. remarkable us 1t may
seem. there was time when the
music from which ours has been
evolved was inferior to some OF that
which floats to our ears from the
woods of spring. This is not to say
merely that the songs OF certain OF
the birds involve more intervals and
greater variety. but that they are OF n
higher order Judged by our own mod.
