Heredifx In Plants.

The general principles of heredity
formulated by Mendel give much prom
ise In the way of crop Improvement
through more systematic methods OF
breeding. 1t is believed by many biol
ogiSts. says Harper's Magazine that
Mendels law offers In part solution
to some of the perplexing problems In
plant and animal improvement. 1t is
too early, however, to predict what
benefits can reasonably be expected
from Its application. This law at
tempts to reduce to mathematical ba-
sis the characteristic of the progeny
of plants and animals; certain per
centage having the individual charac-
teristics of each parent, and a SER
tain percentage the blended character
istics of both parents. 1t is not too
much to expect that the proposed law,
with notifications, will do much to
place the science of plant breeding
upop a rational basis.
In the case Of corn, careful selec-
lions of seed has resulted in the pro-
duction of plants which have a tenden-
cy to produce an additional ear, there
by increasing the yield 10 to % per
cent Also ears of larger size and
more uniform character are secured
by breeding and selecting the seed corn.
One of the best examples Of the Inn
provement of crop by selection ana
breeding is the sugar beet, which has
been developed from the common stock
OF garden beets that contain only q
small amount of saccharine material
and are unsuitable ror the manufac-
lure or sugar, until high-grade beets
containing l6 to IS per cent of sugar
are secured.

A Washington educator is telling
a good story ABOUT a young medical
friend of his who is interested in in
sanity symptoms and is sort of
amateur alienist. The other day the
student got a chance to visit one of
the wards in the asylum for the in
sane, and having heard that there
was a man confined there who labor
ed under the hallucination that he
was God. the student asked that he
be allowed to see this patient first,
as he appeared the most promising
for investigation. He was taken to
the ward where the lunatic was con-
fined, and the following conyersa-

American Horse of the Future.

American Horse of the Future.
An interesting experiment In horse
breeding is under way in Colorado
under the direction Of the Government
Department of Agriculture. 1t is
claimed that Colorado was selected as
the location because of special adapta-
bility of soil and climate, but 1t Is
more likely that it was chosen because
the man who outlined the plan Is a
resident of that State. The idea of
developing the American types Of live
stock under Government supervision
originated with Hon. f. II. Grub, of
Carbondale, Colo, who, with other
agricultural interests of the State.
succeeded in securing the cooperation
of the United States Department Of
Agriculture. start has been made
with a number of breeding mares of
the best type Of American stock and
the stallion Cannon. The idea Is TO
breed a new and thoroughly satisfac-
tory type of American carriage horse,
combining speed, great style and high
quality. sufficient substance to look well
in heavy harness, and to be able to go
long distances in little time, and with
no undue amount Of fatigue.
The work in Colorado is supplement-
ed by operations quite as interesting
to farmers in the attempt TO revive
interest in the Morgan breed In coop
GRAFTON with the Vermont Experiment
Station. A 400-acre farm at Way
bridge, vt, is being used as stock
farm for development Of the Morgan
horse. and if this splendid all-round
tyre of horse is revived and greatly
Increased in numbers, the effort viii
be Of great permanent value.

The difference in the weight of a
large turkey and a small one is an ill-
portant matter, as the turkey is an
Industrious forager, and picks up the
greater portion of its food, which
brings the actual cost of production
to low sum when large and small
weights are compared.

1t IS claimed that dairylng exhausts
the soil unless considerable food mate
rails are brought on the farm, which
Is a fact easily sustained, but hun
d eds of dairymen produce upon their
farms all the food required for their
cattle. The farm may not be as liable
to loss of fertility by dairying as when
1t is devoted exclusively to the growing
cereals, but 1t can be exhausted of GER
tain elements, which are carried away
In the milk sold, and which are not re-
turned in the manure. Milk is com
plete food, being rich in nitrogen and
mineral matter. This is derived from
the food, whether it be grass or grain,
and milk is as much a product as any
other substance that leaves the farm.
1t is nothing more nor less than the
changed form Of the food consumed,
and as milk can only be produced from
food, 1t Is the result of the conversion
Of one into another of a more concen-
trated and salable character. When
the food is converted into milk much of
the nitrogen, phosphates and potash
pass into the milk. The manure also
consists of proportion of the foods,
but the larger proportion Of the yalu-
able elements Of food must of neces-
sity assist to create milk, and the fact
Is also demonstrated that, while we
may be blessed with an abundance of
manure, the value depends upon its
quality and not upon the bulk.

Many of the delegates attending the

the Bishop OF Springfield, who offered

jackson said yesterday that others
had offered aid If the exhibit were

gers, however, are of the opinion that
since 50 per cent. of the whole exhibit
is of Southern production, Richmond
would be the proper place at which to
establish a permanent exhibition of
the work of thrifty and Industrious
negroes. Jackson said that before
taking any step the directors wanted
to lay teh matter before the white
people of this city and to secure their
support. He has therefore secured the
