Veterinary Science.

veterinary surgeon is a person
skilled in the diseases of domestic ami
mails. In the last decade there has
been keen awakening to the import
ance of veterinary science and agri-
cultural colleges are adding a veterin-
airy department to their curricuIums.
A consideration of the magnitude of the
live stock industry of the United States
emphasizes the necessity of veterinary
knowledge to safeguard the interests of
animal husbandry and protect the pub
lie health. The valuation of the horses
in the country is recorded at $1,S67,-
$4,000, mules at $416, 100000, mich
cows at $650O57,0O0, other cattle at
S845, 93S, 600, sheep at $211, 10000 and
swine at 1881 100000. The grand total
value of all the live stock In the coun-
try aggregates $4,331 10000 and repre-
sents such enormous wealth that the
live stock industry can well afford to
pay for the services of skilled veterin-
arians.
In oil European countries veterinary
science is receiving increased considera-
ton. The increased value of live stock
and the enlarged protection accorded
the public health has broadened the
sphere of veterinary science and it now
ranks among the learned professions.
Great Britain is awakening to the ad-
yantages Of raising the standard of
veterinary science. The imperial gov
eminent has appropriated $4,000 for
the Dublin college and will supplement
the grant by an additional $4,000.
The government is spending annually
on the London Veterinary College $780,
600 and strong effort is being made
to advance the standard Of veterinary
education In England.
In nearly every commonwealth there
is veterinary state department to In
spect the live stock on the farms and
when it discovers animals suffering
from contagious diseases it orders them
destroyed to prevent the spread of con-
tagion. The great distributing centers
of live stock are encouraging higher
veterinary education.

Farmer of Futnre.


The future farmer will subirrigate
his land, and defy drought as well as
floods. He will become scientific for
ester, and every farm will produce
wood and lumber as we'll as wheat and
apples. A single acre will produce
what ten acres yield now. Women will
work out doors as heartily as men: in
fact, they will be the horticulturists anC
the truck gardeners. There viii be
closer relation between the producer
and consumer, ignoring a horde of mid
dlemen who frequently waste more than
is destroyed by ignorant help and in.
sect foes combined Under the al
lance with the school the farm will
be valued not only for its gross weight
of products, but for its poems and its
education. AS our schools become
places for applying as well as acquiring
knowledge, our farm homes will become
integral parts of the garden school and
the school farm. The alliance between
the home and the school will become
very close. A valley full of farms is al
ready the nearest to paradise that we
have, but the future will tenfold its
wealth aad hundredfold its delights.

NEW LAW OF HEREDITY.
Certain Qualities Appear Incapable
of Destruction in stock.

Certain Qualities Appear Incapable
of Destruction in stock.
Some time ago an English scientist,
w. Beach Thomas, contributed to the
English press an article on Mendel's
great discovery concerning heredity in
plant and animal life 1.-The scientific
world" he said, lis on the point Of
giving full recognition to a new, strange
and deep-rooted law, and it is a salts
faction to know that in a few months
some of the most striking of its prac-
teal results will be published by a
body of English scientists"
Briefly, the law, which seems to
touch the ultimate mysteries of hered-
ity, is this: When pure stock or strains
are crossed, it is found that a certain
list of qualities remain so to speak,
indestructible, and appear uncontami-
mated in Il definite proportion of the
offspring of all generations after the
first.
Some concrete examples will best
show the practical effect of the law,
says the Technical World Magazine.
When the tall variety of sweet pea and
the short variety of sweet pea are
crossed, the first generation are all tall.
Tallness is the dominant quality over
shortness, which is called recessive But
in the second generation it is found
that Just one-quarter are dwarf, and
not only are they dwarf, but they will
remain pure dwarf, without any rever-
sion and when crossed with dwarf will
never again show signs of tallness. The
other three-quarters will be tall, and
of these tall again just one-quarter will
be pure tall, and never again show
signs of dwarfneSs. The remaining two
quarters will be impure, but again
when crossed with their like will give
both pure tails, pure dwarf and mon.
grels in due proportion So that we
find in all grandchildren. so to speak
of pure strains, the proportion 2 4
has mystic application that is, one
quarter of these grandchildren will be
exact or pure reproductions in one quail
ity of their grandmother. one-quartel
will be pure reproductions of theil
grandfather, and two-quarters, though
resembling one graudparent, will have
latent in them the qualities of both.

set rather forward on his shoulders,
and, his neck being long, it habitually
protruded when he was walking or
talking.
Madison, the father of the constitu-
ton, was physically unlike any of his
predecessors. Below the average height,
he was small of frame. Throughout
his long and eminently useful life he
was semi-invalid, and it is a singular
fact that the two Presidents who lived
to the greatest age were in early life
convinced that death was constantly
waiting just around the corner for
them. John Adams was for many
years morbidly anxious about his
health, but during the last half of his
ninety years Of life he was exception
ally hale and hearty. Not so with
Madison. From extreme youth to his
death at 50 he was feeble and sickly.

John Quincy Adams bore strong
personal resemblance to his father,
John Adams, although perhaps a
little taller and a little more bald.
His successor, Andrew Jackson, had
the physical characteristics, but not
the mental, of Thomas Jefferson. He
stood six feet one in his stocking feet,
and was very slender. Jackson's sue
cessor, Martin Van Buren,, was the
second of the little men to occupy the
presidential chair. Little Van" was
the nickname his political enemies APP
piled to him. He was below the mid
die height and slender, but erect. He
was fond of the elegancies of life, and
was always Immediately attired, a
trait which magnified to the point of
