Poets sometimes are, the Porter re-

not fail to return. My Lord, happen

Bloodhound TRACKING.

The bloodhound does not necessarily
follow blood He hunts what is tech
nically termed 1.-The clean boot that
Is. the hound follows the trail Of the
hunted person without any ADVENT
tious aid, and 1t is the possession aud
gradual development Of this particu-
lar quality which makes him SO inter-
esting possession to the sportsman
and renders bloodhound tracking a
sport in which large parties can en-
gage with all the pleasure Of the

Benefits Of Improving Cattle

At the recent meeting of the Texas
Cattle Raisers' association Joseph r.
Green of Gregory, Tex, discussing
benefits to be derived from the inn
provement of cattle, said:
Beef trusts will come and go. rail-
road rates Will be high and reduced
TO a minimum. but the benefits to be
derived from the improvement OF cat
tie affect the, breeder, for without we'll
bred cattle he is a failure. 1t affects
h feeder, for without well-bred cat
tie he is doomed to financial ruin; it
affects the farmer, for 1t makes a mar
ket for his forage, that otherwise would
be worthless: it affects the banker. be-
cause cattle that are not improved will
neither pay him principal nor interest;
1t affects the railroad by adding ton-
mage for it to haul. 1T affects the pack
er. for without improved cattle he
could not compete for trade in foreign
markets: II affects the manufacturer
by making q home market for his
product. and 1t affects the consumer
by giving him meat that Is young. ten

Professor WilIet NJ. Hays. our re-
Gently appointed assistant secretary OF
agriculture. has nude the following
report: The ten leading field crops in
the United States annually yield near

manufacturing processes; the value OF
these Is SO increased before they are
consumed that IT Is very nearly dou-

Our scientific institutions and
breeders have also demonstrated thai
the animals used TO convert large
quantities Of these crops nto concen-
trated forms OF greater worth may also
be SO improved by breeding as TO Sc

How the Law Helps.

FROM liS Iiiuidlld pOllS --SGWS.
Congressman James E. Watson of
the Sixth district told a story while in
town last week. about the operation Of
the pure food law, intended to illus
trate his expressed theory that more
people would be good if they had to be.
1T was while we were wrestling
with the pure food bill at Washington"
he said. that I got a letter from home,
written by a man from whom 1 bought
a big quantity of maple syrup each
year. He urged me to fight for the pure
food bill. Now, I couldn't help remem-
bering. to save my life, that this maj
bought five barrels of brown sugar at
the opening of the maple molasses sea-
son. So l wrote him a note suggesting
that the advocacy of a pure food meas
ure seemed odd from a mar who
bought five barrels of brown sugar be-
fore beginning the manufacture of his
pure maple syrup.
Never feazed HIM. He turned my
letter over n wrote on the back: I
