text to deny such request, l pro-
posed that l also resign as provisional
president, even manifesting 10 him
that I would accept member OF his
cabinet, who occupies q post OF much
confidence and who is pondingly
able to fill it.
1T is not possible for me to do
more, and if the war continues, it
will be due solely to the ambition of
President DiaZ.
He therefore, will alone be respon-
sible to the world and history for all
those miseries which will be caused.

We all know that in every little OF
pigs, if that little contains an average
number or more, that at l@ast one OF
these pigs Will almost surely be OF
small size and very likely of poor
qualities. 1t is very evident that such
a pig should not be used as breed
er. but why not 90 much farther tnan
this and select only the very best to
be the mothers Of future generations
of all domestic animals, and this Sc
lection should not only include ques-
lions of size but others as follows:
First, poor feeders and producers.
How many farmers know just how
much milk or butter their COWS give
each year? They may possibly be
able to give a fair guess as to the
amount of milk, but almost never do
they know anything about the amount
of butter they are capable of making,
unless they have but one COW and
therefore churn the cream from that
individual alone.
A COW capable of making only $50
pounds of butter each year is Of 10
value in dairy, for the butter could
be bought for the value Of her feed,
but if the same cow could make 300
pounds OF butter, she would then be
valuable animal both as butter
producer and as a breeder.
Again, We want to be: careful to
keep only the good breeders. We all
know that many of the animals we
possess are shy breeders, as seen by
the small little 0f pigs, or the small
number Of lambs in a flock, etc.
If We keep the small pigs from such
litlers or lambs from such flocks, We
shall increase this difficulty, for all
future generations are likely 10 have
this fault TO a still greater degree.
In like manner, let Us use males that
are IN full vigor, not the very young
or old, for while their young may be
good and profitable animals, yet We
should thereby reduce the chances of
getting the most desirable.
Yet another item to keep in mind
is to use as breeders the normal ami
mails, those that have no peculiarities
that should not be expected in that
breed, for even if they are not OBJ
jectionable in themselves, they show
a tendency toward abnormal develop
ment and in future generations we
should expect other qualities might
appear and the breeding become very
unreliable.
To sum up, select for breeding the
animals that are normal of the breed,
neither too large nor too small and
with the qualities Of that particular
breed strongly developed. Animals
that are old enough but not too old to
be in full vigor. Those that have
proven their powers to produce we'll,
as the COW in giving milk or butter,
the hog III producing pork, the sheep
for wool and mutton,
Good feeders. II they cannot con-
sumo and digest a large amount of
food, We cannot get large return
in products, hence such must be chos-
en-. Discard any with undesirable
qualities, of whatever nature. Some
uniformity of color is desirable, not
because it is essential, but it is easy
to attain, and herds and fccks that
are similar in this respect are a
pleasure to the breeder.

eThe Truffle of the Sea"
rom the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
A French tourist returning home from
q brief visit to this country. has had the
audacity to besmirch the character Of the
American oyster. He describes 1t as
tough and OF a taste 'abominable. T"
This said Of our peerless ''truffle OF the
sea-" the only perfect bivalve on earth. or
rather in the salt waters thereof! 1t is
really astounding how obstinate most
foreigners are in refusing to yield the
palm to our American oyster. The Eng
lishman swears by his Colchesters; the
Irishman by his Carlingfords; the Scotch
man by his Pandores. and yet to the
American taste-which. as all the world
knows, Is faultless-every one OF these
varieties, as well as those appertainfng
to the shores Of France. Portugal. Spain
and Italy, tastes rankly of copper. An
Napoleon was his willingness to con-
sumo enormous quantities of the wretch
ed little French things; he gorged upon
them the night before Austerlitz, and one
may fancy that that battle had not been
so hardly won had he been supplied with
several hundred-the Emperor Vitellius
ate a thousand oysters at a sitting, and
Peter the Great ate them like peanuts,
calling them his life preservers"-of our
choicest blue points or Cnesapeakes; e,c ~,
the American oyster; 1t needs none. 1t
speaks, or more properly, swallows Tor
itself; even though Thackeray. on eating
his f1rst Shrewsbury, vowed that he felt
as though he had swallowed baby.
Which reminds us that this same Shrews-
bury constitutes the arms Of old Tam
many Hall. Could higher praise be given
our oyster? Could vindication be more
complete?
we prefer to discern no malice or even
prejudice in the attitude OF misguided
aliens in this matter. They are simply
lacking at once in good taste and delicate
palate. They don't know good thing
when they bolt it down: they are not
worthy Of our "tidbits for deities. am
