The True Idenlist.

Every human being, unless he lacks
utterly the capacity to love, is an ideal
list. No man can boast that he accepts
only the ''plain facts" Of existence as
his guide posts. Love makes idealists
of us all. Through love we are given
the power to look beyond the crude
husk we call the. fact. Any great
achievement is impossible without this
power. Life thrills with meaning and
magic for the true idealist.

the result. The demand, too in for
eign countries is for young animals in
the pink of condition; therefore. II is
rarely that the exporter will take out
shOrthorns over a 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.
II is an age of early maturity, and
bull or heifer of great excellence at
two or three years old will often, after
having attained mature age, be sur.
passed by stable companion who
was probably inferior in appearance
when a youngster. Thus many good
animals are overlooked by the foreign
er, and fortunately remain at home.

SHORT HORN BREEDING
in GREAT BRITAIN
Country Where the Dairy Type That Been
Highly Developed f. N. Webb

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? MOI Knowing that
such 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 II, they en-
deavor to breed so as to make good
any deficiency that may exist: and.
as Is nearly always the case. the
swing OF the pendulum in due course
will bring the trade back TO their own
variety, which has thus indirectly
benefited by its season of advcrsity.
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 fleshed animals
procurable. and Il seems absurd that.
while there has been an almost un-
paralleled trade for this class Of cat
tie, minority of shorthorn men
should have embarked on the breed
ing for milk and not for beef; but
these are the reasons which made

Point to Invasion.

Point to Invasion.
DO not all these signs point to an
intended invasion? Where could this
be? Certainly not on the Asiatic con-
tinent, for another war with Russia
would not be in the present interests
of Japan. To crush the American
forces in the Philippines would GER
tainly not demand such extensive
preparations, but would indicate some
vast undertaking. which will strain
her sinews to the utmost. Since Japan
does not consider the moment to
strike opportune. it is the serious duty
Of America to lose no time in perfect
ing her defenses and guarding against
a surprise.
1t is our hope that the practical
common sense of the Americans will
provide for this danger as soon as
they fully realize it-a danger which
can only be compared to that which
threatened western Europe at the
hand of the crescent.
"As an adequate protection against

by-word, on that side of the ocean,
that the geographical position of the
United States protects it against any
attempt to land troops, and even in
the event of successful landing, that
no enemy would dare to take chances
with the 100000 citizens of the
union available in time of war. It is
only recently. however, that military
critics there have dared to express a

good reason, concerning the correct.

them calculate on a future for their
cattle: % They knew that the con-
tinued 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 est
mated at 10000, 900 sterling, annual
value. of which e30,O0O,00O is i'm
ported from abroad, and in conse-
quence of the latter fact dairy cattle
are wanted for expectation. CD 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

men that such was the case, for al

washington.-Whlle recent events
seem to have set at rest all idea OF
war at the present time between
japan and the United States, there
is little doubt that the situation has
been viewed by both governments in
the most serious light. That Japan
in her diplomatic notes had assumed
a tone OF arrogance. seemingly calcu-
lated to arouse American resentment,
is admitted, and the gathering Of the
mighty feet to carry the stars and
stripes to the far Pacific is undoubt-
edly looked upon by the world as a
digniHed warning to the eastern en-
pire that the patience of the United
States has a limit.

When the announcement was made
that the navy department had de-
clded to send the Atlantic feet to the
Pacific a well known navy officer
was asked what, in his opinion, would
be the outcome of this oversee trans
fer of 16 battleships. The chances
are" he said. that Japan will seize
the Philippines and declare war be-
fore the fleet has been one week OF
sea. The serious blundcr was made
when the battleships that were sta
toned out there were withdrawn. In
stead Of Withdrawing them the force
should have been gradually but un-
obtrusively augmented"
These are the 16 battleships of the
Atlantic fleet which the government
will send around the Horn into Pacific
waters. The fleet as a whole is the
most formidable one that Is now gath
cred under any one flag in any wateys
