Individual Merit.

The well informed farmer no
longer buys Leghorn or Jersey, a
ShOrthorn or a Chester White, a
Shropshire or Clydesdale and COM
placently thinks he has settled the
question of profitable stock raising
along a certain line upon his farm.
He knows, says the Dakota Farmer
if he had had any experience OF
has been at all observing, that it is
thetype and often theJsindividual
animal itself, that counts, and that
there can be. and frequently are
poor laying families among the
Leghorns and good ones among the
Rocks; poor mothers and shearers
and shearers among the Shropshires
and good ones among the Hamp-
shires and Delaines; good mixers
among the Shorthorns sand poor
ones among the Jerseys and so on
to the end.
He knows too. that neglect, or
lack of ample feed intelligently fed
will show as quickly upon one breed
or class of animals as upon another;
that, if anything the well bred and
cared for animal will show abuse
the quickest.
Well balanced and informed do
not as formerly 60 crazy over any
particular breed of COW, hen or
horse They know that all breeds
have merits and that in all breeds
are exceptional animals and often
strains or lines of breeding that are
so much better, or possibly poorer
than the average that they might
very justly be classed with entire,
ly different stock or by themselves.
They have found, moreover, that
there is as much or more in the
man as there is in the breed; and
that while in the hands of one OF
the best mixers, for instance, will
not show profit, in the hands OF
some feeders and care takers very
common cows show good returns.
We are glad to note this change.
1t speaks well for the future of our
stock industry, and the boomer of
this. that or the other just when pet
breed will find it more and more
difficult to get the average farmers

money unless he has animals of
real and individual merit to sell
him.
We know, as certainly as ever,
that if we are after great flows of
milk, certain breeds are more likely
to produce it than are others; that
if we are more than anything else
desire quick maturing beef or NUT
ton there are breeds in which we
will find such animals more GER
tainly than in others; but we are
learning that all of any breed of
COWS are not profitable mixers;
that they are poor feeders and fat
ters among the regulation beef and
mutton breeds, and that whatever
or however good the animals we
have must care for them and add
to herds the type we want or we
shall not get it.
In putting big money into founda-
tion animals for any flock or herd,
these things cannot be borne too
prominently to mind. Get good in
dividuals from strains that show
strongly just what one is after
and we must be careful not to
lean very heavily upon the mere
name or breed.-Daily National

Judge Backus of Milwaukee, has
original ideas about the tenacity of
the home ties he has found by ex-
pertinent that ten days in Jail on a
diet of bread and water, tends to
make a would-be wife deserter so
homesick and so hungry for his
wife's good cooking, that he, as a
rule, is glad to promise to return
home and be good. Now the Judge
is applying successfully, the same
method to women who have been
more neglectful of their husbands
than of certain other men. The in
vigorating scenery and diet of pris-
on life have such a beneficial effect
upon these prisoners that most of
them promise to reform, and there
by save the home. The Judge nat
urally believes that many home ties
are severed by the knife of the law
before they yield to the tension of
strained relations at home. The

a prospect of great increase in
cattle The fall in the price of
grain on account of the large crop
last year is lesson to farmers that
they had better try to even things
up and raise more cattle and less
grain. Besides that, some strains
of alfalfa and kaffir corn have
shown drouth resisting qualities al
most equal to buffalo grass and
cactus and will furnish cattle feed
in immense quantities ont in the

possible to distribute the mail on

give the parcel post preference over
second-class mail. 1t is said that
Boston papers reach New York
sometimes two and three days late

EIGHTEEN STRAW
BERRIES FILL BOX

When Is Strawberries fiji box, the
growers begin to wonder when they
will have to begin packing the fruit in
boxes somewhat nearer the sire OF ap-
pie boxes. Such fruit was displayed
Saturday. 1t was grown by Oscar Van
derhilt on his East Side ranch. The
fruit was of the Goodell variety. "I
did not take any particular pains in
picking out the box of berries that
brought to town. Indeed. the earlier
fruit was larger than that displayed, f"
says Mr.. Vanderbilt, ''and the variety
keeps well. put several boxes in my
refrigerator Friday before last and we
ate them the next Tuesday. They were
in perfect shape"
Mr.. Vanderbilt is receiving numerous
applications for plants from the new
variety.
The Oak Grove community also turns
out enormous berries of the new vari-
ETY.. }. W. Palmer was the first to
grow the variety there. This year w.
H. King, of the Rainbow ranch, has
had tract of them in full bearing.
Mr.. King brought in a number of
boxes of this delicious fruit last week.
and it was put on exhibition and Of
cred for sale at Bragg's. The berries
attracted no small amount of attention
and were quickly purchased. All who
secured boxes of them declare that
they had an excellent flavor. MIR.
King calls his fruit the "Big King"
berries. Sixteen of Mr.. Kings berries
filled box.
