instant success. He did much 10 bring
out the good in the army and bring IL

Remington drew his pictures from liv-

among them and knew their ways aid
I'd him in putting touches on his work
that brought out the best and noblest
side OF their natures. Not only as an
artist did Remington give his bits OF
the West TO an outside world. but as
an author as well. His book. Pony

rode the ponies that made the tracks,
was received with high approval. AS
"A sculptor. too, Remington, was known.
His bit. THE Bronco Buster" has won
especial praise.

assistant secretary of agriculture, with
his associates, will start a magazine
devoted to the scientific breeding of
plants and animals. A new departure
has been organized in the American
breeders association TO study heredity

head the work and conduct this de-
partment in the ma gazine.
This was decided at the closing meet

new members were secured and the or
ganization voted to ask manufacturing
commercial and transportation inter-
ests desiring an increase in farm prod
ucts to provide the association with
sufficient funds to put the publication
