The Chinese Army.

Soldiers used to be despised in
China, and only the coolies were
considered suitable material for
lighting men, says Owen MacDon-
aid in the Technical World Maga-
zine. Today all this is changed,
and China has an army to which
it is an honor to belong. Tomtoms
have been superseded by wireless
telegraphic apparatus and signal
balloons. Masks have given place
to field glasses, comic opera garb
has been cast off for khaki uni
forms, and the two handed sword
has become the bayonet. China
was first aroused to a sense of her
weakness and her strength by the
disaster of her war with Japan in
lS94-95. Hitherto she had slum-
bered like great lazy giant, smil-
ing scornfully at the suggestion
that smaller and weaker nations by
adopting modern methods might in
jure her. She had sublime faith in
the force of the vast hordes she
could throw into the field.

Youth In Its
Golden Prime.

y calf under year old took the
championship in the individual steer
class at the last International live stock
show. \ few years ago only the steer Of
age and weight would have figured
among the possibilities In such a con-
test. Baby beef" has become a IA

pushed its way to the front. "HOthouse
lamb is no longer Il great rarity.
This rising feeling for the things Of
youth, the striking off into IL new path
in animal production, may at first ap-
pear just turn Of the wheel of change,
but behind the seeming fancy of the
producers Is solid reason. With the
breaking up Of the ranges the small
farmers are tackling the meat prOduc-
ing proposition with vigor in the east
and south as well as the west, and in
all lines it appears to be proved that
the gains in weight are made at the
least expense on the young animal.
Scotch fashions too, are now popu-
lar In beef circles, and justly, for the
Scotch farmers are notable feeders Of
animals for beef. From the standpoint
of quality and flavor Scotch fed beef
holds leading position in the most
critical meat markets of the world.
Scotch breeders of beef cattle encour-
age young stock to develop early ma
turing qualities, particularly in Aber-
dGen-AnguS and Shorthorn districts.
AS these breeds are bred almost en-
tirely for beef production the tendency
to take on flesh rapidly and mature at
an early age is regarded as the most
important point to be considered.

The efforts that are being made
to give political significance tc
the decision of the Republican
National Committee in favor of
Chicago for the convention are
futile as Taft men voted for Chi
cago, anti-Taft men voted for
Kansas City, and third term men
were found among the advocates
of both cities. Had not the DO
litical phase of the question been
developed the decision would,
doubtless, have been the same.
The climatic advantages of Chi
cago during the summer months
would have an advantage, once
Chicago made an effort to CAP
ture the convention, and when
1t came to the question of enter
tanning great many people at a
time of unusual activity and eX-
cltement, Chicago easily held the
lead. And as far as the candi-
dates are concerned they should
all feel comfortable, as Mr.. Can
non will be very near home,
Judge Taft, Mr.. Fairbanks and
Mr.. Foraker are all near neigh
bors. Gov. Hughes is the only
one who lives at a distance, but
his little boom is such that were
the convention held in Oshkosh,
kalamazoo or I'll PaSO, Texas, 1t
would be one and the same. Ev-
en- Chicago, however, will in all
probability find her large re-
sources as an entertainer taxed
to the utmost as the coming con-
vention may prove to be the lar
gest meeting of the kind ever
held, on account of the great in
terest felt in the Presidents at
titude toward the nomination
and the interest felt in the va
rious booms.

Our navy has started from the
mouth of the Chesapeake for the
cruise to the Pacific and ere long
the problem will be solved as to
whether the navy is able to trans
fer itself eXpeditiously from one
coast to another, and a very i'm
portant problem it is in view of
the fact that it is not large e.
nough to be divided safely be-
tween the Atlantic and the Pa
cltic coasts. The question of
coaling, of anchorages, of neu-
trail limits in coast waters, and
dozens of others, any one of
which might be of supreme i'm
poftance IN time OF war, will and
can be answered only by such a
cruise. Having a navy it is i'm
peratiVe that we should become
familiar with the use of it and it
is only through such use, such
practice work, that we can know
its needs, its limitations, and the
many difficulties that are to be
met and overcome in this most
important branch of our military
service.

zette remarked that, whether the long
line of twO-year-olds is considered or
the yearlingS or the rare lot Of calves,
there was fieshiness apparent In all,
a maximum of beef and minimum of
waste, that presented ready explanation
of the favor in which the breed finds
itself among the buyers for slaughter.
Best Breed For Baby Beef.
Why do we breed Aberdeen-Angus
cattle? A firm of Delaware breeders
have explained their reasons for so
doing as follows in Rural New Yorker:
We first began cattle breeding with
registered Hosteins, but at the same
time we put in the pasture one Angus
bull and heifer and through the grass
season gave no grain or feed Of any
kind. When we took them in for win
ter our HOlSteinS were thin and Door,
while the two Angus were fat and in
fine shape for beef We did not desire
to go in the dairy business, as the ex-
ira work would interfere with our 9TH
er work, but we did desire to keep
cattle, for we must have manure to
improve the soil. We found we could
keep about two Angus to one Holstein
on the same acreage and have them
in good beef shape almost any time in
the year. We decided this was the
breed we needed disposed of our Hol-
stems and settled down on the Aber-
deen'AnguS, the best breed of baby
beef cattle in the world, we believe.
We are breeding them for stock to sell
for breeding purposes to be used either
in pure bred herds or for grading up to
a high standard the common cattle.
We also find many dairymen who sell
their calves for veal consider it profit
able to use an Angus bull, as it will
add about S. profit on every veal calf
at eight weeks old, no matter how
small or common the COW. The small

There was no music now, for it was

the couple at the table by the fountain

The couple under the balcony had

with an appetite that showed that they
had missed their midday meal.

ment of this movement is cited
the widely distributed advertise
ment which has appeared in the
newspapers of the country from
one end to the other, entitled
Theodore Roosevelt = Destroy
er." An investigation has brou't
to light the fact that an expense
of 5000, 600 has already been en-
tailed in the publication of this
advertisement, presumably to
promote the sale of a somewhat
obscure magazine, and the nat
ural assumption is that the eX-
penditure is the outcome of a
conspiracy, known to exist by
the friends of the Administra-
ton, to prevent a continuance of
the policies for which Mr.. Roose-
welt stands and to defeat the
nomination of the one candidate
for the presidency who is, in the
judgment of the President, cap
able and willing to carry on the
work he has begun. We believe
that the President and the
friends of the Administration
have no cause for anxiety, as it
is only necessary for the great
body of the people to know the
facts that vast sums of money
are being lavishly used to defeat
the policies for which Mr.. Roose-
welt stands.

A Live Stock Center.

1t Is rumorod that an attempt will
be made to make Worcester. Mass, a
center for the sale of New England
cattle. According to New England

breeder, says there are today within
radius of fifty miles of Worcester fully
1900 head of Holstein cattle, and he
would favor Worcester as a central
dealing point for breeders. ]. b. Mar

England, where something of this char.

THURSDAY, DEC. 19, 1907.

Col. Myron T. Herrick, former
Governor of Ohio, gave out an
interview in Washington recently
which is we'll worth careful con-
sideration by all thoughtful peo-
pie who are seeking light through
the political chaos. He says,
Never since William Mckinley
was by universal consent made
the candidate of our state in 1896
has there been such genuine and
devoted advocacy among the rank
and file of Ohio Republicans of
any man for any office as that
which has come to William H.
Taft. 1t is a happy coincidence
that most of the close friends
who inaugurated the Mckinley
movement are back of Taft, and
it is an unhappy coincidence that
a few of those who opposed Nc
Kinley are now opposing Taft.
These friends of Mckinley in
Ohio have watched with interest
and pride the career of Judge
Taft. They remember that it
was Mckinley who made Taft
governor of the Philippines and
started him on the presidency,
and they recall that it was Sem
atOr Hanna who first suggested
Taft as a prospective candidate
for that high office. Secretary
Taft is the natural successor of
William Mckinley, born into a
greater and better day. The
real secret of his strength is that
he has shown himself splendidly
equipped for strong, wise, and
tactful executive work. Ohio Re
publicans would not be for him
if they did not know that the in
terest of property, of labor, and
of national development would
be safe in his hands," Judging
by the developments of the last
few days in Washington the con-
test has already reached the stage
where it is the field against Taft,
just as it was the field against
Mckinley at a similar period of
the contest in 1856.
