G. A. O'ReiIIy, who is an official
Of the government of the Philippine
islands, has just finished a six
weeks tour Of Denmark, which he
made for the purpose of studying
agricultural and industrial condi-
tons. He was especially impressed
with the agricultural progress of
Denmark and expressed his surprise
that in this country there is no Ques-
ton that farming pays. The inves-
tigator expressed the belief that this
result had been brought about by
the cooperative system among farm
ers, the sympathy between these CO.
operative unions and the department
Of agriculture and the scientific
handling of agricultural problems by
the department.
Another feature Of agriculture
which impressed Mr.. O'Reilly was
the regulation and control of the
milk, butter and egg supply Of the
country. He considers, that this sys-
tenn is responsible in a large meas
ure for the health of the Danish peO-
pie and for the high reputation of
these products in the foreign mar
kets.
The poverty Of Danish orchards
and the lack Of handicrafts in the
country were the only points which
seem 10 have impressed the investi-
gator UnfGvorably.

!: The True Worth

BY w. n. Tomhave, Minnesota
University Farm.

The question is often asked (which
is the best breed of dairy cattle Or
of beef cattle, horses, sheep or SWINE
The unprejudiced person can answer
that question in only one way; name
", there is no best breed. All DreedS
have their merits and dement's, and
in no case has one breed, as a GLASS;
been found superior in all respects
to it's competitor in the same class.
Dairy cattle have been pitted against
each other in competition for eco
nomical butter-fat production, and va
rious breeds have won out at different
times. In each case these animals
were only a few selections out OF
many thousands. This leads up to
the question, "Is any man justified IN
producing one breed better than an
other, unless as a mere expression OF
personal preference? Does not the
true worth of the animal lie in the
individual and not in the breed?
Personal choice, to a large extent, IN
f1uences the success or failure with
any breed of live stock. One man may
be successful with one breed, while
another person will have equal sue
cess with some other breed.
Nearly all breeds of live stock have
been boomad, to a considerable ex-
tent, at one time or another. In near
ly all cases it has been like real
estate boom, and has resulted in
dawnfall and a reversed period OF
prosperity for the breed. Fifteen and
twenty years ago certain breeds OF
beef cattle were in such demand that
it was almost impossible for breeders
to supply the demand. This strong
demand was too much of temptation
for the unreliable breeder and deale
He was not far-sighted enough to con-
slider the future welfare and interest
of the breed Many cattle, entirely
unfit for breeding purposes, little bet
ter than grades and scrubs, were sold.
The results of such operations were
not felt until the offsprin" CT these
worthless individuals, without merit,
began to mature. They were disap
pointing, and gave "black eye" to
the pure-bred business. 1t has taken
breeders a long time to repair the
damage done by careless individuals

May Boost the Trolley Line.

There are a great many trolley
lines projected through Minnesota
and some of them will be built one
of these days, and some of them not
for years, if ever. But in the raising
of the passenger fare on the steam
roads to three cents a mile under the
Sanborn decision, it is probable the
people will wish that more of these
projected trolley lines were either
built, or under way. The Dan Patch
line, which is at the present time run
ming into Northfield from the twin
cities. and is being extended to Farl-
bault and Owatonna, announces that
the decision does not reach 1t and
that the fare over it's line will remain
two cents. 1t is reported that the
Dan Patch line intends to come into
Albert Lea. also go to Mankato and
will touch many important points in
eastern and southeastern Minnesota.
There is little question that if the
Sanborn decision stands, and the State
loses the authority to regulate the
steam roads because of their inter-
state connections. the people will
turn their attention more to trolley
lines and work for their extension,
not only for the purpose of carrying
the passenger business, but for hand
ling local freight as we'll.
There is a possibility that through
the trolley line the local passenger
rate may be solved. 1t is at least
a matter worth considering if the
Sanborn decision is to stand and fed
eral regulation will afford no relief
for local rates. ALBERT Lea Tribune.

Advertising as a Guarantee.

When a business concern invests a
large sum Of money in a handsome
store and equipment for retail mer-
chandising, the public feels a certain
degree of confidence that the concern
has goods worth examining. People
argue that unless they had established
a reputation for fair dealing. and
unless they had goods that they knew
filled need. they would not dare to
spend so much money.

in the distribution of breeding stock.
This experience should stand out as
an object lesson to all breeders Of
purc-bTed live stock
During the past few years some OF
the breeds Of dairy cattle have been
such as was experienced by the beef
breeds more than a decade ago. Spec
ulatOrs and unreliable breeders have
taken advantage of this boom, and
have thrown upon the market for
breeding purposes many animals with
little to recommend them except color
or pedigree. In many cases eXOrbitant
prices have been received for cattle
without merit or known performance,
but which are sold upon the record
of some exceptional individual of the
breed The results of such manipula-
tiOns are bound to be a setback for
any breed; and those who have the
interest of any breed at heart should
try to guard against such practice.
Farmers and breeders, who are con-
sldering the purchase of pure bred
live stock of any kind, should go slow,
and find out something about the rec
ords Of the ancestors of the animals
in question or of the animals them
selves, before they make their pur-
chase or selection. Money invested
in pure bred live stock should be
placed where it will promise proper
returns in dairy or meat products,
while also assuring success from a
breeders point of view.

Gov Wilson, who is a leading
Democratic presidential possibility
declared in his Fourth of July speech
that the plain speaking about exist
ing evils which disturbs certain peo-
pie, is really the ground of our safe
ty,' because it was about things that
need to be remedied. He declared
that the object Of the nation in it's
various readjustments opportunity :;
that no man should enjoy privileges
not open to his neighbor: that no man
should rule US without our consent !;
that the instrument employed, wheth-
er political or economic, should be our
own, to be used as we deemed best. -
He said he laid stress on these ideas
( because so many meA in recent months
had expressed the fear that the coun-
IT try was about to experience a change
of plan or a loss of its "practical
genius He thought that the future
would be like the past in revealing
a genius "for that which builds up,
purifes, strengthens, Eliminates and
conserves for the prudent uses of
posterity.'

The safe and sane celebration of
the Fourth of July had marked effect
in decreasing the injuries and deaths
on that day, and the results Justify
the still further extension of the re-
gulations against fireworks and ex-
plosives. Another effect also of doing
away with explosives was the revival
of interest in the more serious side
of the celebration, the exemplifcation
of the meaning of the day in pageants
and the opportunity given for serious
utterances by prominent public men.
