Don't Breed Plugs.

A bulletin of the department OF ag-
riculture prepared by George NJ Rom
mel, the horse and mule expert OF the
department, discourages the breeding
of small and inferior mares to jacks.
In breeding mules, he says, the hrst
point is to see that the mules sire
is a large Jack, recorded in the Ameri-
can Jack Stud Book. He should stand
15.9 or even 16 hands high and weigh
up to 100 or 1900 pounds. If mares
sired by light stations, standards.
coachers, etc, are bred to such a jack
mules of good quality and fair weight
may be expected. For small, indirer-
ent 500 pound mares without breeding,
nothing better can be expected than
the production of inferior cotton mules
or pit and pack mules. 1t is useless
to try to breed good mules from poor
mares, and this is one reason why so
much attention has been given to the
discussion of the Importance OF horse
breeding in the South. There will
probably always be more demand in
the South for mules than for work
horses, which can be supplied by local
ly raised animals, but 1t is necessary
farm brood mares. 1t is doubtful II
any jack Is good enough to sire
any jacq is good enough to sire
good mule from a small, coarse, plug
mare.

NAVAL "ROW" IN AIR.
Commander Sims Makes Charges in
Criticism Investigation.

Washington, Mar. 3.-Commander
William H. Sims, naval aide to Presi-
dent Roosevelt, by his own statement
is responsible for the row" over criti-
cisms of battleship construction. At
the outset of his testimony before the
senate committee on naval affairs
Monday he gave the committee to un-
derstand it could expect some sensa-
lions. This was done in a preliminary
statement outlining what he "had to
do with naval criticism" which, he
said, began back in 1895 and was con-
fined to official channels. Continuing,
he said he would have to go into un-
pleasant facts, such as charging Off
GERS or inventors with having made
misleading statements, the secretion
of official documents, and the refusal
of superior officers to accept sugges-
lions of value. The plan of Com
mander Sims to give the committee
sensation was upset Immediately by
Senator Tillman.

Canada is doing great deal to help
its farmers. The latest scheme Is to
advance 100000 to those in the
provinces of Alberta and Saskatrhe-
wan whose crops were failure last
year and who are therefore crippled in
facing the needs of another season.
The announcement will come as sur
prise to many, however, for the idea
has been sedulously inculcated that
the Canadian northwest was a region
of unfailing prosperity, and thousands
have been induced to immigrate in the
belief that it was a veritable promised
land. In view Of the outcome, says
the Troy On. ~ Times, the Dominion
authorities may feel morally bound to
go to the aid of the unfortunate ones.
And if the news of the crop failures
gets abroad it will be still more diff
cult to put into practice Rudyard
Kipling's idea of pumping in immi.
grants from England.

FIGHT ON THE
M'CUMbER BILL
REPRESENTATIVE GRONNA AD.
DRESSES COMMITTEE ON
WHEAT INSPECTION.
He Makes Strong Attack on the Co
pher System. Cites Duluth as
Horrible Example. Measures are
Opposed

Washington, March Arguments
on the McCumber grain inspection
bill were begun before the house COM
mittee on interstate and foreign COM
merce Tuesday.
Representative Gronna of North
Dakota, who introduced the McCum-
Der bill in the house, was the only
advocate of the measure present.
Those in opposition included Rail-
road Commissioner Staples of Mime
sofa, N. J. Hall of Morris, Mimi,
representing the Farmers alliance
and other organizations of farmers;
Charles Hamlin and G. w. Morse of
Boston, F. 1. King, G.. A. Churchill,
S. E. de Knight of Philadelphia,
George S. Jackson of Baltimore and
John B. Daish of Washington, repre-
senting the Grain Dealers National
association and allied organizations.
Representative Gronna said the
growers of the West have little COM
plant to make against the local ele-
vator men, but they suffer from lack
of universal system of classification,
at terminal or export points.
He complained of the inspection at
Duluth claiming a higher grade of
grain was exported from there than
was reported as received from the
country.
Opponents of the bill set up the
claim that grain inspection in inter-
state commerce is not function
within the constitutional powers of
congress. In this regard Chief Justice
Marshall was quoted as having laid
down the principle that the right of
commercial inspections never was
surrendered to the federal govern
ment by the states.
Representative Stevens of st. Paul,
a member of the committee, chal
lenged these statements by Mr.. Gron-
ma simply for the purpose of making
it appear of record in the hearings
before the committee that the criti-
cism made by the North Dakota rep
resentative of the Minnesota grain
inspection system was challenged,
and Mr.. Stevens said that @. s. Sta
Piles, grain and warehouse commission
er of Minnesota, will appear before
the committee and answer these
charges in detail.
The principal feature of the argu-
ments by opponents of the federal in
spection and standards was that it
would upset business conditions which
now operate satisfactorily, would add
an unnecessary expense to the gov
eminent, and would be of no benefit
to the producer of grain.
Further hearing on the bill will not
be held until all phases of the matter
have been considered.

Romance must retire before the
progress of the age. The municipal
government of Venice proposes to
adopt an extensive system Of illumin-
ating the canals with powerful incan-
descent gas lamps. 1t is true that the
old mode of lighting gave very made
Quate results from severely practical
point of view, but it produced un.
rivaled light and shade effects, the
beauties of which have ever been the
joy of visitors. 1t is, therefore, hardly
surprising that artists and other adj
mirers Of the lovely lagoon city are
protesting against what they call an
act of philistinism. The hard, cold
glare of incandescent gas will, they
say, rob Venice of one of its greatest
charms - that mysterious twilight
which produces the proper atmosphere
for musing on the romance and past
greatness of the noble palaces of the
erstwhile rulers of the seas.

Old Msidhood.
MIMI.

Old maidhood, like fever, is thing
to resist it. Who are the most likely
victims? Certainly one is the girl
who has been too much a girl, and too
little a woman. Finding girlhood a
very attractive state at Is, she has al
ways chung to it desperately until
fading looks force her to see that it
has flown from her. Then follows dis
appointment. The woman who re-
sists old maidhood is she who has
only regarded girlhood as a pleasant
prelude to bigger phase Of life. Her
zenith is to be womanhood. At Is she
has only just entered into the contest,
at "a she is getting into the thick of
it. 1t must be many years before she
can possibly pass the meridian of fe-
male life, SO 80, and even later, finds
her at her height, not like the other,
many years gone in decline. Why does
a man not care, generally, when he
finds himself passing the period of
youth? Because he has gained III ex-
perience and knowledge, has seen the
folly of youthful dreams, and learns
to see life as it is. Youth gives way
to manhood, and, in that state, he is
content to flourish. To avoid the
stigma of old maid a woman must fix
her eyes on the things that matter in
life. She must not allow the knowl-
edge of passing youth to sour her. She
must not allow her youth to pass, but
must vigorously fight the touch Of
that arch cynic, Father Time, and try
to shine in the sphere of womanhood.

A million dollar church edifice is
not considered anything extravagant
nowadays in New York. The new
st. Thomas Episcopal church, which
is to cost not less than that amount
is reckoned by the vestrymen a mod
est undertaking. Considering the
number of private residences in the
metropolis that have cost a third or
half a million, perhaps the vestry-
men are right.
