A western Percheron breeder is work ing on the theory that just as favor able conditions and environment exist at home for the breeding of pure bred horses as are to be found in their na- tive home in France. His theory moreover, seems to work out In first rate shape, for he has just captured in the neighborhood of 0 dozen prizes in each of two big midwestern state fairs, in which he has shown his horses in competition with the best imported Percheron stock. It Is also his belief that good deal of the pure bred stock that is imported Is really inferior, but tat American buyers are eager to get 1. simply because 1t comes from across the water. This is an idea which it would seem worth while for horse breeders to take into account.

Many districts of the western states which make speciality of growing cantaloupes have been struck with a blight which seems to have been to some extent brought on and aggravat- ed by rains and heavy dews and which does not seem to be materially checked by any spray that has yet been tried. Headway in fighting the disease seems to have been made chiefly along the line of a rotation of crops and the planting of disease resistant seed.
