A school teacher down in Miss.

my childhood, and the last few years
it had injured me seriously.
"One cup of coffee taken at break
fast would cause me to become so
nervous that I could scarcely go

this was often accom-

The Peckhams get their name from
the parish of Peckham, in Kent county,
England. In Saxon ham" signifies
home or town, sc Peckham would be
the town of Peck. or the home Of
Peck. It is supposed that the family
came originally from Scandinavia,
when the Normans came to England
in the eleventh century. Variations Of
the name are Pecan. Packham and
Pecham.
John Peckham. who was Archbishop
of Canterbury from 1879 to 1892. is
generally considered the founder of
the family. In 1927, however, there
was Robert Peckham, chaplain to
King Henry l., and he may have been
an ancestor of the Archbishop. Sir
Edmund Peckham, one Of the Arch
bishops descendants. was master of
the mint to Queen Elizabeth, and
was knighted in 1912. He lived in
Buckinghamshire, county Kent His
son, Sir George Peckham, was a mer'

Never allow the colt to follow the

this way and in a very short time 1t
will be almost impossible to raise q
poor colt. Look at the farmer who
breeds one year to a draft horse and
the produce afterward bred to some
cheap mongrel. His horses in ten
years breeding are no better than
when he began. The price of service
fees should hardly be considered. 1t
is the matured horse to be considered.
It costs as much to raise a low-priced
horse as to raise a high-priced one 1t

The horse for the farmer Is the
draft-bred horse. He is the horse that
can be raised by the common farmer
with little trouble and expense. He is
in reach of almost every farmer in the
country. 1t is a profitable business on
say good colts, for it Is just as easy to
raise good ones as poor ones.
1t is just as easy to raise good
horses as good cattle or good sheep or
good hogs. 1t does not pay to raise
poor ~ones-leave that for the other
fellow. The farmers that raise good
stock Of any kind are the men that Sc
lect good sires. The men that have
good herds and good flocks are the
men that select pure-blood sires from
one or the other of the several pure
breeds and stick to the breed Of their
choice, if in cattle it is S%horthorns in
a few years his herd is all the same
type and color.
II 1t is Angus or Herefords, the re.
suits are the same. If this is true Of
cattle and sheep, it Is certainly true
Of the horse. Fellow farmers, select a
sire from one Of the pure breeds Of
draft horses-Percheron. Shire or Bel
giant matters but little which
breed.
1t is only a matter of choice to the
breeder himself. Be sure that the sire
is a good individual. Breed just such
mares as you have. The better the
dam the better the result. Always
breed their produce to a pure-bred sire
IF the same breed.
In a short time your mares are all
alike and Of the same type and dispo-
sition, all bearing a family resem-
blance. You will not have the DISPOSE
ton Of a broncho in one and the trot-
ting horse In the other, but you will
have a class of horses that are easily

and an everyday market at home and
abroad.
You need not spend any extra time

the buyers are always looking after

Cows and horses that are kept busy

them in condition, and, indeed, it is
impossible to keep them in proper

Advantage should be taken of the
fact that flies constantly tend to seek

not thought best to keep the stables

Another Peckham, named John like
the Archbishop, came to this country
some time before 1888. He is the an
cestor of the family in America to-day,
and is probably descended from Sir
George, the a%dventurer. Not very
much is known of his history, but 1t
is said that he vas the younger son
of a titled family; and he came here
with Anne Hutchinson and her hus-
band, who lived In England at Afford,
one Of the manors granted to Sir Ed
mund. For these reasons it Is sup
posed that he belonged to the big
English family of Peckhams founded
by the Archbishop of Canterbury.
John Peckham settled in Rhode Isl.
and; and although he was a firm sup
porter of poor Anne Hutchinson. who
was prosecuted because of her relig-
ion, and finally killed by the Indians.
1t is not probable that he shared her
strange beliefs. for he was noted as a
Jealous Baptist. In 1913 he was regis
tered as one of the ter male members
of the First Baptist church In New
port in full communion.
John married twice and had IL
liam, Stephen, Thomas, Clement and
James. William. who became a Bap-
fist minister, is supposed to be the
first minister of that denomination to
be ordained in the colonies. In I'LL
he was ordained pastor of the First
Baptist church Of Newport. All the
sons married, and all but James left
also married, and, like the sons, all
but one left families. They were Sa-
rah. who married William Weldon;
Rebecca. who married a man named
Spooner: Debora, who married Robert
Taylor; Phebe, who married Thomas
Gray: Elizabeth, who married Peter
Taylor and Sussannah, who married
Peter Barker. and later Peter Wells.
With such a substantial beginning
the family spread and prospered. By
1900 they were known as large land
holders. They owned a great deal Of

THE BLAME ON THE
INSURGENTS.

One of the most entertaining features
OF the railroad bill situation In Con
gress Is the effort being made by the
Senate and House regulars TO blame
the insurgents for the existing confused
situation. They are trying TO make 1t
appear that the insurgents are doing
nothing but seeking to obstTuct legis-
latiOn, to block the passage OF import
ant bills, TO hamper the Administration
program of Iawmaking, and all that
sort Of thing
It viii be well to examine into the
justification for such charges before
accepting them; 70 find out Just what
it Is the insurgents are doing before
attacking them
What have the insurgents done with
respect TO the railroad bill2 That
measure went TO the Senate and House
and was introduced there with q sec
ton which would have allowed rail
roads the highly dangerous power OF
making traffic agreements, and would
have required these agreements merely
to be fled with the commission. The
insurgents attacked this proposition,
forced the regulars 70 shift their posi-
ton, and ultimately drove them to
striking out, in both Senate and House,
all provision for traffic agreements
The insurgents were willing TO allow
traffic agreements on condition that
rate increases in pursuance OF such
agreements be not permitted until ap-
proved by the Interstate Commerce
1 Commission. Confronted with this pros
pect, the regulars turned in and elimi-
mated Section J entirely On this the

passage on January p, and was passed
by the House on FEBRUARY s.
Almost as speedy was the transit Of
the tariff bill last summer. This
voluminous measure, with its numerous
and intricate provisions OF most serious
import, was introduced by Mr. Payne
and referred to the Ways and Means
Committee on March Il, 1909. Tt was
reported hack favorably the next day.
and was passed by the HOUSE on
April Q.
These bills, ike al other important
bills of the last ten years, were
threshed out in the Senate, which had
become the really constructive, legis-
Iative body The Hepburn bill was
sent to the Senate, and Shere referred to
committee on February s, 1906. It was
reported back on February 20, debated
for nearly three months, and passed By
the Senate on May IS The tariff bill
was sent to the Senate and referred to
committee on April 10, 1900 1t was
reported back for passage on April y,
debated for nearly three months, and

As against this system, which made
one look upon the House as almost a
useless wheel in the legislative wagon,
We today find both the House and the
Senate engaged in free and practically
unrestricted consideration Of vitality

for the country to shake hands with
itself.
