Leonard lake, Ellsworth's new pond,
last week produced something new in
birds, when Richard Moore shot duck
which puzzled local ornithologists to
name. 1t was finally pronounced double
crested cormorant, in winter plumage, in
which dress the crests which give the bird
its name do not appear. The bird is black,
about thirty inches long, withibare orange
spots around the eyes and at the base of
its round, hooked bill. The cormorsnt is
a fisher, but catches its prey in different
manner from most fishing ducks. Flying
just above the surface of the water, the
cormorant, catching lsight of fish, sud
denly dives after it and swimming under
water swiftly, it catches the fish and
comes to the surface with it held firmly
"a ITS hooked bill. from which there is no
e scape. Then tossing the fish in the air.
it catches 1t head first as il comes down,
and swallows it whole. Sometimes the
perches en- a dead limb from
which it dives for its prey after the man
ner of the kinghsher. The cormorant is
not frequent visitor here. 1t summers
in the far north and winters south OF Vir-
yinia and Illinois. The bird shot here
was q stray migrant.

points out the possibilities of
catering to a trade Of buyers,
legions of whom are to be found
on the farms of the country.
The genius who can pro6tably
breed and put on the market
for farm buyers a class of mares
at the above figure viii be doing
wonders for the horse industry
of the nation. The ranks of the
farmers on all sides who arei
selling out the scrubs and rel

mares of good scale and quafiE
are receiving recruits fery

No doubt there are some TO

If so they light find in the
annals Of The horse industry fire.
quent Instances of successes on
a smaller scale, to-wit: But a
90 <son ago a shrewd Iowa farm
sold at auction twenty head
of pure bred draft horses at an
average of better than $500 a
head, and moreover the collection
represented the accumulation
Of progeny from a team Of pure
bred mares that had been pur-
chased less than ten years
previous. In the light Of such
facts but one conclusion can be
drawn and that is that the farm
err who knows enough to handle
horses rightly is overlooking a
good chance SC grow d kind OF
horse that is always hard to keep
the horse buyer from getting.
There may be times when it is
better to invest in pure blooded
draft horses than others, yet the
time is always propitious to in
vest in pure blood when full
value can be received for the
money. The careful farmer who
has a thousand dollars or there
abouts at his command can in
vest it to no better advantage
than in a good pair Of sixteen or
eighteen hundred pound mares
of good breeding and brood
mare type. Special attention
should be given to this latter
point, as on it depends the sue
cess Of the owner as a horse
breeder. Such a team can be
made the standby of the farm
and will represent an invest
ment which will by proper
management, return in offspring
a very attractive dividend an
nually. Their labor will more
than pay for their keep.
AS above indicated, special
attention must be given to the
selection of such a team. No
rigid Instruments can be laid
down as to the age, it all depend
ing on which is the best PROPOSE
ton, old or young mares. Some
times team of rather mature
mares can be purchased at a
price which insures a safe in.
vestment. And again, the team
in it's prime will suit better,
The individual merit Of the
animal should receive the strict

sight, wind, conformation OF

quality of feet and legs are, some
of the major points to receive
special consideration. The lat.
ter points mentioned, namely
) feet and legs, are all important,
: and the old saying of No feet

, From present indications a
strong demand for good horses

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF,

Baron Won sternburg, German nm.
bassador TO the United States, in an
address at the University OF Illinois,
once showed that all the great leaders
of nations. such as Frederick the Great
and K'ang-Hi, the greatest Chinese
emperor, have taught the same prin.
ciples of citizenship. He drew an In
teresting parallel between the teach
ings of Kang-Hi In the "Holy Edlct"
and the public utterances Of President
Roosevelt. 1t Is truth familiar to all
students OF comparative literature that
under similar conditions men of moral
purpose have much the same ideas
Deyout scholars have always delighted
In the fact that the noblest sentiments
of Greek philosophy are not unlike
those Of the Bible. That a modern
man should preach what was preached
by the ancients only bears out Lowell's
eplgram that the best things obllglngly
got themselves said several thousand
years ago.
