herd, it is important that something
be known Of the records of his ances.
tors. Individuality alone is not
enough to guide a person in making
the selection, but we should also
know how much butter-fat his dam
produced in one year. The only prac-
teal way to determine such a butter.
fat test is to base it on a full year
test instead of a test for a few days
or even month. Too much dairy
stock is being sold today for fancy
price, simply because some COW has
big record for short period. The
question is often asked, (Which is
the best dairy breed?" or (which is
the best beef breed?" This cannot be
answered by naming one particular
breed, as all breeds have good quail
ties, and it also depends much upon
the choice of the individual breeder.
Do not buy sire to head the herd
merely because he is pure-bred ami
NAL, but be sure that - he possesses
individual merit and also has ances-
tors with a good record. There has
been such big demand for pure-bred
dairy bulls during the past few years,
that breeders have been selling all
kinds Of inferior animals for breed
ing stock. Such practice, of selling
so many inferior animals, merely be-
cause they are pure bred, can only
result in injury to the dairy business,
instead Of making the improvement
that should take place, if more dis
erection we're used in selecting pure
bred stock. It is much better for q
few farmers to Join together and buy
a good bull, to which to breed their
cows, instead Of each trying to buy a
bull, and thereby. securing cheaper
and poorer individuals.

VIENNA, February 9.-The creditors OF
Prince Miguel of Braganza, who married
Miss Anita Stewart of New York at
Lyngwall, Scotland, last September, un-
able to obtain a settlement of their
claims, have seized the furniture and
other effects in the princes residence
here and removed them to an auction
room. a large and boisterous crowd
gathered today to watch the men trans
ferring the bric-a-brac and other belong
ings of the prince into huge wagon, and
eventually the police had to be summon
ed to maintain order.
Prince Miguel and his wife are now in
Paris. The prince left the management
of his affairs, in the hands of lawyer.
who Immediately after the wedding paid
off most of the creditors, but several
money lenders are reported to have made
such exorbitant demands that the attor-
ney refused to listen to them.
Claims to Be Settled.
The proceedings were the out
come of disputed claims that amount to
less than $4,000. and negotiations are
proceeding to settle the affair. 1t is not
considered likely that the princes be-
longings will actually come to auction.
Only recently the report was current
that a syndicate of creditors intended to
bring suit for 81 100000 against Prince
Miguel, the claim being set up that he
had refused to pay to the syndicate for
borrowed money one-fifth of the dowry
of his marriage with Miss Stewart, which
amounted to S5,000.000.

No Rivalry With British.

The members of the board of managers
do not look upon the undertaking in the
light of an international race between
American and British expeditions. They
regard the expeditions as joint explora-
lions on opposite sides of the south polar
region. and it is known that Com
mander Peary has letter from Capt.
Robert F. Scott, r. N, who will lead
the British expedition, in which the cap

regions.
The question of raising money for the
expedition is left in charge Of the finance
committee of the society, of which
Charles ]. Bell is chairman. 1t is general
ly believed that the necessary amount of
money will be offered almost at once.
Commander Peary hardly received the
telegram from the board Of managers
informing him of their action when he
announced that he would contribute a
check of $4,000, which had just been
given him as a tribute from the citizens
of New York, to the joint undertaking
of the National Geographic Society and
the Peary Arctic Club in quest of the
south pole.
His announcement in the Metropolitan
Opera House In New York city was re
ceived with applause, which indicated
that the entire audience would be willing
to support the expedition. If each mem

numbers about 10000, would contribute

MEXICO CITY, February 9.--Whether
James A. Cook. the American railway
conductor, whose guilt on a charge of
criminal negligence in connection with
the robbery of his train, appears to have
been established to the satisfaction of
Judge Palafox Of the third criminal court
of the state of Jalisco, will have to serve
an additional term in the penitentiary de-
Ponds now upon the result Of an appeal
which is already being prepared.
This is the information received from
Guadalajara. where judicial finding was
announced late Monday night which was
in accordance with a recommendation of
the prosecutor of justice, Juan l. Zepesa.
that the defendant be found guilty and
sentenced to two years and ten months
Imprisonment. Although this sentence has
not been passed upon Cook by the court,
Judge Palafox's definite statement that
he would presently do SO has spurred the
friends of Cook to begin at once steps for
an appeal
May Be Admitted to Bail.
In the meantime, under the processes of
Mexican criminal law Cook may be ad-
mitted to bail, pending a review of his
case by the court and the introduction of
further testimony by both the defense
and prosecution. In view of the opinion
announced, Cooks attorneys seemed TO
have little hope of being able to bring
about a reversal in this court. Much evil
dence, both written and oral, has already
been introduced since Cooks arrest and
Imprisonment without bail last August
and the case has been twice reviewed by
the public prosecutor.
About two months ago Judge PaIafox
concluded his investigation and turned IL
over to Prosecutor Zepesa for the forma-
ton of conclusion. After holding.the pa
pers for some time the prosecutor turned
them back to the trial judge with a re-
quest for additional evidence This was
furnished and the case was gone over
again with the same result. 1t was stated
that bail would be arranged with as little
delay as possible. Meanwhile the Ameri-
can consul at Guadalajara. Samuel f.
Magill, it is said, will make an exhaustive
examination of the evidence for the pur-
pose of filing a detailed report with the
State Department at Washington.
