their unconventional but kindly ways
quite won Mrs Johns heart But
while heartily approving of Johns
wife, Mrs Hubbell and her daughter
did not altogether approve Of his
home surroundings, as the following
conversation goes to show:
''Louisy's as good-lookin' a woman
as l ever see," observed Mrs Hubbell
to her daughter one evening, as they
prepared to retire.
Il declare, Janey,' continued Mrs.
Hubbell, 1.-The more see Of how mean
ard poverty stricken some things
about the house be, the more l won
der how LOUSY can keep up her sper-
rits the way she does"
I've thought of the same thing,
ma said Mrs. Stebb, land I think all
the more Of Louisa for not making ex-
cuses about her things; I suppose she
knows they're the best John can af-
ford, and SO she acts just as she
would if they were the best in the land"
so had L. said Mrs. Stebb.
II declare, l was beat the first time

Mrs. Hubbell went on; take that

made present to LOUSY by some of
her folks, an [ suppose she an John
thought tWould save buyin' new one
and so they put it down, though it
don't come up to the wall by good
hanging up those plates and platters
on the wall, because they can't afford
to buy pictures enough. It's too bad,
how the poor child has had to put up
with all the old trumpery," said Mrs.
Hubbell, in mild indignation, as she
laid her head on the pillow, and hour
after hour, while her daughter slum-
bered at her side, the old lady lay
wide awake, thinking over the indica-
tons of her sons poverty that sur
rounded her on every hand, and devils

Sight seeing and other pleasures
made the days fly, and all too quickly,
Mrs. Stebbs visit drew to an end.
AS she was packing her trunk on the

SHORT HORN BREEDING
!: 49,. :.5 II" in GREAT BRITAIN
Country Where the Dairy Type Has Been
Highly Deve1oped-By F. N. Webb.

The records of the Shorthorn Soci-
ETY. of Great Britain and Ireland show
the immense number of animals that
have been exported during the year
1906, and the majority of these ami
mails have been sent to South Ameri-
ca more especially to the Argentine
republic. Indeed, the great demand
for them in that country is the princi-
pal cause of the boom in shorthorn
cattle. One would imagine that in
consequence of the severe drain on
the herds of Great Britain, caused by
the expectation of so many of their
finest animals, depreciation would
be found in the quality of the stock to
be seen at shows, sales and on breed
ers' farms; but, as matter of fact,
such is not the case.
In spite of this increasing demand,
the standard of excellence attained by
the shorthorn breed is quite as high
as, and perhaps higher than, it ever
was before. Breeders find that it pays
them better to devote a large portion
of their time to the improvement OF
their cattle. AS is the case with all
stock, the mating Of the parents and
the rearing and the management of
the calves have great deal to do
with the fact that young bulls and
heifers arrive at such a state of per-
lection as is only attained in Eng
land.
If shorthorn breeding were unprof-
table, one would soon find that own
ers would turn their attention to some

what happens? Do the breeders Of
the other descriptions Immediately
sell out their own stock and rush in,
trying to buy up and produce the
popular strain? No! Knowing that.
such a policy as this would be fatal,
they bide their time. Doubtless they
look round to discover the reason why
this particular branch of shorthorns
is so sought after, and if they dis
cover that it is due to the inferiority
of their own strain of cattle in some
particular point, although they will
not openly acknowledge it, they en-
deavor to breed so as to make good
any deficiency that may exist; and,
as is nearly always the case, the
will bring the trade back to their own
variety, which has thus indirectly
benefited by it's season of adversely.
But the most extraordinary exam
pie of the manner in which the Brit
ish shorthorn breeder looks ahead
and endeavors to keep his stock to
the front is furnished by the breeders
of pedigree dairy shorthorns. There
can be no doubt that the highest
prices in late years have been given
for the most heavily f1eshed animals
procurable, and it seems absurd that,
while there has been an almost un-
paralleled trade for this class of cat
tie, a minority of shorthorn men
should have embarked on the breed
ing for milk and not for beef; but
these are the reasons which made
The Cook County herald. [volume] (Grand Marais, Minn.) 1893-1909, 1907-08-31

| more lucrative branch of farming, and
deterioration in our herds would be
the result The demand, too, in for
eign countries is for young animals in
| the pink of condition; therefore, it is
rarely that the exporter will take out
shorthorns over certain age. In con-
sequence of this the older COWS and
| bulls are, generally speaking, left in
the old country, and in many cases
| these latter are the parents of some
| OF the best stock produced.
1t is an age of early maturity, and a
bull or heifer of great excellence at
two or three years old will often, after
having attained mature age, be sur
passed by a stable companion who
was probably inferior in appearance
when a youngster. Thus many good
| animals are overlooked by the foreign
err, and fortunately remain at home
These believe to be some of the rea-
sons for the continued supremacy Of
the British shorthorn; but I am con-
WINGED that, in the main, it is due to
the common sense of the British
breeder I will endeavor to explain
my meaning.
There is always a run on some par
ticular tribe or branch of the great
shorthorn family, whether it be
Scotch, Booth, Bates or any other line
of blood. The owners of the particu-
lar strain of cattle in favor for the
time being reap a rich harvest, and
are tempted to part with many of
their best specimens. In this case

them calculate on a future for their
cattle: CD They knew that the con-
tinueds production of animals bred to
give the maximum of beef might
sooner or later lead to the production
Of females which would only yield the
minimum of milk, and no doubt to a
great extent this has been the case in
some herds. (2) The dairying industry
has enormously Increased of late
years. The trade in dairy produce
now in the United Kingdom is esti-
mated at G70,000,00O sterling, annual
value, of which G30,000,000 is i'm
ported from abroad, and in conse-
quence Of the latter fact dairy cattle
are wanted for expectation. 60 Dairy
farmers in England were at loss to
know where to procure registered
shorthorn bulls from COWS of a milk
ing strain. They had bred for several
years pedigree shorthorns which
could yield a plentiful supply of milk,
and which were at the same time
capable of laying on flesh when dry,
and the next step for them was to
prove to home and to foreign dairy
men that such was the case, for al
though the milk supply of our large
centers Of population in England is
mainly obtained from shorthorn COWS
(not necessarily registered), or their
crosses, until lately, venture to say,
few, if any, foreign breeders of dairy
cattle had any idea that such was the
case, the shorthorn being regarded
abroad as beef brand only.

farewell of the famous gymnast, Mon

it is rumored, ironically and discon-

On this farewell night he is to per-

has ever attempted. From the flying

will spring to a stationary one, 40 feet

catch it by one foot only, and hang
suspended so, 100 feet above the

Secretary L. N. Gregory. OF the Vlr-
ginia State Baseball League, makes the
announcement that Umpire w. II. Hoif-
ner, whose work was SO favorably re-
ceived last year in this league has
wired that he will accept an offer Of a
position again this season in the State
organization
This does not necessarily mean that
one of the present members Of tho um-
piring staff will have to go. Instead, it
means that the Virginia League Will be
better taken care OF in this department,
and that. in the case OF any one being
taken sick, as happened to Andy STAN
ton several weeks ago, there will DC a
competent person to take his place,
and that therefore, there will be less
grounds for dissatisfaction, as was the
case when it became necessary for
players from either team being called
in as arbitrators.
1t is reported that when all the four
umpires are able to perform, Hotfner
will assist in handling the indicator at
the Norfolk Portsmouth games It is
probable that he Will start there on
Thursday for the three game series be-
tween these two teams on that date.
