Every friend of the old soldier will
rejoice in the new pension bill which
is the most just pension bill yet en-
acted. 1t combines the age and SER
vice features, and the ammount Of
pension paid depends on both these
factors. An old soldier 81 years of
age who served 90 days will receive
a pension of $13. and this increases
with the length of his service up to
SO. AT the ages of 66. 70 and rs
respectively, new basis are establish

who served for two years or more.

TOO EXCITING FOR CROKER
Ex-Tammany Chief, Like So Many
Others, Succumbed to the Easel
nation Of Stevenson.


The ideas Of Richard Croker do not
run on bookish lines. Regretting this
circumstance and considering that a
taste for literature, once inculcated,
might be source of pleasure in his
advanced years, a journalistic friend
who crossed the Atlantic with the one
time chieftain of Tammany hall not
long ago cornered him in the steam
ships library one evening and OBJ
tanned reluctant permission to read
Treasure Island to him.
Much to his friends encouragement.
Mr.. Croker listened with unfeigned in
terest until the lights went out and
apparently enjoyed the narration of
the exciting events of John Morgan.
Billy Bones, Black Dog, John Silver
and the others. wherefore, finding
Mr. Croker in the library the next
evening, the journalist again pro-
duced his volume of Stevenson and
drew up chair But the one.time
Tammany chieftain lifted a protesting
hand.
Don't read that book to me any
more" he said. 81 couldn't get to
sleep last night for thinking about

URGE LOWER INSURANCE RATE
Although Many Delegates Were De-

and Fifty Members From All
Parts of State Were Present.

Madison.-The fourth annual con-
ventfon OF the Wisconsin Electrical as
ISOLATION opened in Milwaukee. After
reports of officers and special commit
tees, G. Nesbit Duffy, comptroller of
the Milwaukee Electric Railway and
Light company, chairman of the insur-
ance committee, read his report. Mr..
Duffy said in part:
The fire insurance premiums paid
by the electric railway and light com
panies Of the country for 1911 were ap,
proximately $11,0O0,O00. These figures
are strong argument in favor of cleo
trio properties building up fire insur-
ance reserves of their own. A fire re-
serve can be built up gradually.
Electric property is unquestionably
entitled to lower rates. This seems to
be the opinion of the insurance expert
of the American Electrical association.

Cooperation to this end should
quickly impress upon the mind or
every farmer that the time has come
to abandon indiscriminate methods
of breeding. Hitherto violent crosses
and admixtures of blood have COM
monty been made. On the contrary
breeders should at the outset chose
one breed as ideal and then grade up
by consecutive use of pure bred s1res
OF the selected breed. BY SO doing
the blood of the breed after a time
will predominant and be evidenced in
the progeny of all the characteristics
of the breed. 1t has been the COM
mon practice to try one breed and
from it's use obtain half bred mares.
stallion of some breed different
from the original sire and their fe-
male progeny in turn have sires of
other light or draft breeds, By such
inadvisable methods of mating the
state has been filled with horses of
mixed and nondescript breeding and
the condition has been further COM
plicated by the detrimental pract1ce
of using grade and scrub stations.
From now on this injudicious and
purposeless method of breeding
should be abandoned. Only pure
bred sires should be used and in each
case the same breed should be used,
year after year, cross upon cross,
until the characteristics of that
breed become stamped indelibly upon
the grade stock produced. This is
the only correct and successful meth
cd of grading up stock The way in
which pure blood gradually takes the
place of impure blood is well shown
in the table.

quires that public service stations

act. roaring and heaves; (St. Vitus'
dance) and stringhalt; bone and bog
SPAWN; ringbone and sidebone; curb
with CURLY formation of hook; navi-
cular disease. melanosis and some
communicable maladies. 1t is as nee
essary that sound mares should be
mated with sound stations. Unfor-
tunately, however, unsound mares are
too commonly used for breeding when
fit for no other purpose. Tbs result
Is that upsound horses are numerous
and necessarily Improbable. Not
only should the sire be sound and
pure bred, but likewise fine individ-
nal. muscular, healthy and able to
beget foals that viii come into the
world robust and liable to stand up
and suck. Mares should be equally
