System in Breeding Up.

NotwI standing the hIgn prices and
scarcely OF cdttie, especially DreeulnS
stocN, there are many ola cattle men
VINO have the sense ana courage TO
cuil out OF their herds ali the unuesir-
aDie Ieinaies ot All ages, anu snip them
to market here someone not so par
tcular. or not SO fully possessed OF
cattle intelligence, picks up these culls
ana establishes breeding herds, linus
the cattie world revolves.
The improvers OF cattle take occa
sion at this seaon of the year to weed
out all the undesirable calves and
those possessing defects that may
in any sense detract from the uni
formity of the breeding character Of
the herd Color is very strong quail
ity with many breeds. In fact, off
color destroys the good impression
of even being high-grades, say moth
ing of purebreeds. Grade herds in
some of the southern and southwestern
cattle districts are grading up and
shipping their off-colored young stock
This system needs only to be followed
up for few generations of cattle un
til the fixed color of the breed will be
established.
Any careful, painstaking selfre
speeding cattle sheep or swine breed
err may in few years raise the stand
ard of his herd in breeding quality un-
til it produces, from commercial
meat point of view, equal to the av-
erage pure bred. The secret of breed
ing up valuable herd of high quality
is the use of the best sires. 1t is from
the high-quality sire that rapid pro-
gress is made in breedin gup.-Twen-

In the spring, when the soil is com
pact and moist, about an inch of
moisture will evaporate per week.
Narrowing the land losens up the sur
face and stops this evaporation. The

II is up few inches. In this wav the
moisture may be saved up till the
crops need it in July and August.

OUTLOOK IS GRAVE
Peace Conference at a Stand
still in London, Dele
gates Report.

LONDON, Jan. 1.-The Turkish Bal
kan negotiations and the Roumania-
Bulgarian controversy were at a stand
still today and nothing was expected to
develop before Monday. There was no
session OF the ambassadors, and that no
move in the peace conference was an
ticipated was evidenced by the fact that
DR.. Daneff, the Bulgarian plenipotenti-
airy, went to Oxford for the day.
Before leaving town DIR. Daneff ex-
planned that the negotiations conducted
by him and the Roumanian envoy were
adjourned until Monday. The Bulgarian
admitted the situation was grave, but
insisted that the conference was ami
cable and that a satisfactory settlement
confidently was expected.
In the absence of the Bulgarian diplo-
mat, the Roumanian minister called at
the foreign office and informed Sir Ed
ward Grey, British secretary Of state
for foreign affairs, that the negotiations
were progressing amicably. He denied
emphatically that Roumania had issued
an ultimatum, and this statement was
confirmed by DR.. Daneff as he was 60
ing away.
Dispatches from Constantinople said
that the ambassadors Of the great pow
ers there had finally succeeded In draw
ing up a note to be presented to the
Porte. 1t was characterized as color
less by the correspondents. The note
merely advises Turkey to give up
Adrianople. and mentions no alterna-

BOSTON, Mass, Jan. ia subcom.

State committee has given the stamp OF
approval to plan for the merger of the
Republican and Progressive parties.
The subcommittee, named to consider
the proposal made by Frank A. Munsey
took prompt and unanimous action in
favor Of get together" campaign.
The Republican State committee ap-
pointed its chairman, Charles E. Hat
field, and George l. Barnes. and ].
Lowell johnson to consider consolida-
ton. The subcommittee made the fol-
lowing recommendations last night:
1T Is the opinion of the committee
acting for the State Committee, that II
Is highly desirable for the best interests
OF the Commonwealth to make an at
tempt to reconcile differences between
the Republican and Progressive parties.
I'VE believe It may fairly be assumed

Importance on which these two parties
are agreed. and that ID the policy OF
the protection Of American industries.
and the wages of employees from the
protection 10 of great Importance from
the standpoint of Massachusetts, people.
Reconciliation Is Desirable.
That being 80, 1t seems to us highly
important, for the real interest and well
fare Of the State, we should at least
make an attempt to reconcile our other
differences and again act together as
united party for the benefit Of the
State.
I'VE believe there may be hope of a
reconciliation. and IL II could be brought
about 1t seems to us exceedingly desir-
able to do SO, in order that We may
again unite in promoting the great issue
upon which we are in accord, namely
that Of protection.
There undoubtedly are other great
and important issues upon which we
agree and upon which We can act In
unison for the best interests Of the
Commonwealth.
Both parties are thoroughly In &C.
cord IT. desiring to do all that may be
possible to promote the social welfare
of the people of this Commonwealth.
Willing To Cooperate.
Much was accomplished when we
were acting together along this line,
and a great number of statutes were
enacted In this Commonwealth to es-
tablish social and Industrial Justice for
the people Of this State.
"The present Republican majority in
the legislature has created committee
to consider questions Of this sort, and
to promote the social and industrial
welfare of the people.
when We are in agreement on the
questions that seem OF supreme i'm
portance we ought at least as good
citizens to make an effort to act In

hesive action. bring about the enact
ment Of further laws In the interest and
for the benefit Of all Of the people of
this Commonwealth.
The Republican State committee
therefore expresses its willingness to
make a fair and honorable effort to CO.
operate with the Progressive party to
bring about these results"

ASHES BY MAIL
NEWEST FEATURE
Of PARCEL POST:
One Woman Even Wants
Her Breakfast Delivered
IA to Her in Bed.

From nine days wonder and popu
lar toy, the parcel post is likely to be
transformed into veritable car of Jug
gernaut in the hands of the American
people, of which the relentless efficiency
Of a perfect automaton win be demand
ed. This at least is the belief of the
officials of the Postoffce Department.
Just awakening to the infinite posi-
blity Of the parcel post. the public is
preparing to put 1t to a test which will
be almost Spartan in its severity. Pos
tai experts, knowing the limitations of
the present organization, are already
shoulder-deep In worry over the situa-
ton which will soon present itself.
Breakfast Sent By Mail.
In New York, a woman has conceived
the idea of having her breakfast sent to
her by parcel post and she is precise
in her demand that IL reach her in time,
even IL 1t is not served hot of the grid
die. The postal authorities are not
worried over this individual case; but
what win happen IL thousands of other
women should take it into their heads
TO do likewise? Then there is the case
of the man who takes his umbrella to
his business office in the morning, and
dispatches 1t home by parcel post when
sunlight breaks through the clouds, so
that his wife can use II for an after
noon shopping tour. Suppose there are
thousands of these cases every rainy
morning?
The Postoffice Department knows only
too well that they are not prepared to
meet such test with their present
facilities. The man who has created
the idea of sending his furnace ashes
TO the ash heap by parcel post, instead
Of by the ash man, opens up another
vista of possibilities which is INFINITE.
Special Stamps Needed.
The postal officials are continuing
their campaign of education so that II
may become universally known that a
special parcel post stamp is necessary
at the postoffice or a substation. Just
at present much trouble is experienced
through ignorance of these provisions.

THE Munsey suggestion may be a
Dit premature. but l expect ultimately
there will be an amalgamaion of the
parties"
Some Arguments for Union.
Here are some of the arguments one
hears in the cloakrooms at the Capitol:
Another Democratic Congress will be
elected in the fall of 1914 IL the Pro-
gressives and Republicans remain as at
present.
A Democratic President will be cleo
ed in 1916 IL there is no amalgamation.
Democrats. even IL they accomplish
little progressive legislation, will re-
main In power Indefinitely.
A panic helped along by a radical
tariff measure or an impossible cur
rency reform act might tend to defeat
the Democrats, some of the opposition
said. And at once they asked: How
could the Democratic party be defeated
by a divided opposition?
The old-time regular Republicans who
have held high office in the organiza-
ton OF their party for years. men who
refuse to consider progressive meas
ures, pretended to see nothing in a
movement toward amalgamation.
Take Stand With Cannon.
Most of them took the stand Of
Joseph G. Cannon, former Speaker, who
is impossible of reconstruction.
Let them come back to U.s." was his
attitude
Their reasons were made plain by
some of those who discussed the SUBJ
ject from an opposite point Of view.
They said the old regulars feared a
national convention. such as sug-
gested by Mr.. Munsey, for the adop-
ton of a platform for a new party.
Knowing how strong is the feeling
against President Taft among men
who voted for him. they could not de-
pend on delegates they might choose
to a national convention to stand pat
Many of their delegates, II was
said. would vote with the Progress
sives on vital planks Of a platform
Many regulars" admitted today
they saw no way out. but contented
themselves with the general state
ment the Democrats as usual, would
make blunders which would paye the
way for Republican restoration.
