In selecting a sire breeders are
sometimes too anxious to breed to
sports or mutants, or in other words
animals which possess some desired
quality to a much greater degree than
the breed from which the animal came.
The danger lies in the fact that too lit
tie attention is given to the ancestry
Of these sports. The great animal
with a poor ancestry is very likely to
reproduce animals more like his or her
ancestry This is not always the case
The 2Polled Durham breed of cattle
was developed from Shorthorn sports,
but these sports will not always breed
their characters. \ poor individual
with a good ancestry is much safer to
breed to than am excellent individual
with a poor ancestry, although breed
ing to either is to be avoided.
The value of the exceptional breeder
is very seldom known until after the
animal is sold or killed Many men S
success as stockmen and breeders is
due to one exceptionally good breeder
The excellence Of any is due to a few
exceptional breeders and not by the
general mass. All trotting blood today
owes its high state Of development to
very few animals, such as HANDLE
tonian y. The exceptional breeders
are not necessarily exceptional indi-
yidualS. They are generally very IN
CONSPICUOUS as individuals. There have
been few great performers that were
great breeders. 1t is impossible to
know the good breeder except by test
Never select a new untried sire for a
herd of good females Try the sire out
on a few females Of known breeding
powers first. 1t is said by good au-
thority that of all the Jersey herds in
the state of Oregon only one is espe-
cially noteworthy in the progress of
improvement. This improvement is
due wholly to one bull, which was dis
posed of before the owner realized his
worth.
In breeding, do not let appearance
and fancies overshadow utility. If we
are breeding a COW to give milk why
should she be required to have a black
tongue, or why should her tail bone
have to come to the hook? Why should
the breeder be so particular about the
color of breed or herd as long as they
are improving in usefulness? Breeders
often introduce lot Of fancy points in
breed which are worthless from the
utility standpoint, and each and every
fancy point introduced makes it just
that much more difficult to keep up
the utility of the breed In breeding,
ideals should be made essentials
few strong, useful points standing out
strongly against a multitude of unim-
portant details
Methods of Breeding.
Grading is the most practical method
of breeding for the farm or one who is
beginning in the stock business. BY
grading is meant the practice Of using
purebred sire on a herd of grade fe
males By this practice it is possible

Selection.

Selection is the most powerful, if not
the only, means Of permanent improve
ment that is under the direct control
of the breeder His decisions are
powerful for either good or evil, and it
Is much easier to breed backwards
than for good Every man breeding
stock should have a clear idea of what
he desires to accomplish and adhere
persistently to one standard. A man
can not jump from one type to an
other, or even mix families in the breed
and develop animals that can be classed
in the highest standard of usefulness.
We will take the case of a Holstein
crossed on a Jersey. The first cross
might be a fair animal, but her off
spring will show greater tendency
toward variation. That is, it might be
a good mixer or it might be very
poor mixer. Both HoIstein and Jer-
sey have been bred pure for many gen
erations. The breeders Of each had a
little different purpose in view, one to
produce an animal that gives great
quantity of milk and the other a good
quality of milk When these breeds are
kept pure it decreases the chances for
wide variation.
Selection for definite purposes often
works directly against fertility, Vigor
and longevity. The development of
shy breeders, as in the case of many
prize ring meat animals, is to be guard
ed against. This one thing is the root
of many evils in the breeding herd.
The relative value of prolific and Of
shy breeder may be brought out by
comparing two COWS and their Off
spring for five generations. One cow
produces two calves and another pro-
duces six before they stop breeding
We will assume that half the calves
are females and these females are fer
tile to the same extent as their dams.
The COW producing only one female,
and this female producing one female,
and so on, will have at the end Of five
generations one female descendant.
The COW producing six calves, three
females which produce three females
apiece, will have at the end OF five gen
erations 243 female descendants. This
comparison look exaggerated, but the
fact is that many COWS produce more
fertile females than three and in this
case the difference would be greater.
Constitution is a character which
must not be overlooked in breeding
any animals and for any purpose.
What good is a COW that has the very
best of qualities to give milk except
constitution The poor constitution
will keep animals in such poor state
Of health that they are unable to pei
form their duties.
These important haracters-fertil-
ity. constitution, and longevity-must
he strong in the sire. There Is an old
nroverb that the sire is half the herd
but in reality he is more than half He
is half the first generation, three
fourths the next, seven-eights the next
and so on until within a few genera

MURDERED AS HE SLEPT
DISCHARGED WATCHMAN WAITS
MONTHS FOR REVENGE.
Stealing Into Factory Office He
Awakes Head Watchman by Press
ing Pistol to His Temple.

After nursing his resentment for
months, Thomas Tarpy Of Brooklyn
went to the Offices of the Robert Gair
paper box factory early Sunday morn
ing and killed Michael Kerha, 3S
years old, the head night watchman.
He fred fve shots, three OF which
went wild. At the time OF the mur-
der a dozen other watchmen were on
duty, but none Of them heard the
shots.
When the police we're notified that
the dead body of the watchman had
been discovered six detectives imme-
diately began to trace the slayer. Ex-
amining the pay roll Of the company
the names of those whom the night
watchman had discharged was found.
In the meanwhile a policeman report
ed that shortly before midnight he
had seen in a saloon nearby a man
whom he recognized as formerly en-
ployed as watchman in the Gair fac
tory. From the description he gave,
subordinates of Kerha said the man
must have been Thomas Tarpy.
Kerha's payroll gave Tarpy's ad-
dress, but at the house it was said he
had moved two years ago. Inquiry
traced Tarpy to another lodging
house where detectives arrested him.
They reported that almost Immediate
" after his arrest Tarpy confessed
the crime.
"Kerha discharged me months
ago." he said, "and I never forgaVe
him for it. I've been out of work
ever since, and 1 couldn't forget that
he had put me into distress. So last
night I went to the factory and got
into the Office.
"Kerha was asleep in chair.
put the muzzle of my pistol against
his head. That awoke him, and as
he recognized me, I said:
"I came here to get you and I'm
going to do it. He didn't seem to
think meant it, and laughed at me.
Then I pulled the trigger. My hand
was pretty shaky and the first shots
went wild, but when he tried to get
up out of the chair I put two bullets
into him. He fell on the floor and I
could see he was dead. I walked to
New York over the Manhattan
bridge, then back over the Brooklyn
bridge and went to my room. This
afternoon went out for walk, and
was coming home when you got me-"

FARMERS BUY AUTOS
GOOD ROADS AUGMENT SALE OF
CARS THROUGHOUT STATE.
Commissioner Watson Announces
Figures for Each County for Last
Year and First Quarter Of 1914.

According to reports filed with the
State department Of agriculture by
the county supervisors there are H.
|975 automobiles and auto trucks in
use in South Carolina. The people OF
the State have purchased 1873 dur
ing the first three months Of 1914.
Commissioner Watson in announc-
ing the figures stated that there had
been the greatest sales OF machines
in the counties where the greatest
improvement had been made in the
highways. He said that the farmers
were buying more machines this year
than the people in cities and towns.
Following table shows the total
number of automobiles by counties
and the cars purchased in 1913 and
for the first three months OF 1914.
The total covers all cars from and
including 1906 when the registration
law was passed:

WANTS ARBITRATION.
Senate Committee Votes to Submit
Canal Free Tolls to Hague.

Just when a vote on the Panama
canal tolls exemption repeal bill
seemed certain to come within a few
days, the Senate foreign relations
committee Wednesday surprised the
Senate and complicated the situation
by reporting favorably a resolution
designed to lead to the submission OF
the dispute with Great Britain to
arbitration by an international tri-
hunaL
There was no discussion Of the res
olution, but it will be taken up be-
fore a vote is reached on the repeal
bill itself and it's appearance before
the Senate undoubtedly will lead to
further debate. So far as admins
tration leaders know, President Will
son opposes arbitration unless the
repeal bill previously is passed and
no word had come to the capitol that
he had changed his position. Many
senators believe without the presi-
dents approval no arbitration pro-
posal can receive a majority.

WANT TO DELAY ACTION
SENATE SEEM DETERMINED TO
STALL LEGISLATION.
President is Firm in His Purpose and
Will Try to Force Consideration of

With the hope Of preventing the
enactment of trust legislation ct this
session of congress, a tacit agreement
to delay the legislative program is
believed to be guiding the actions Of
many senators in Washington.
It is the hope of these obstruction
lists that by dragging out debate on
the tolls exemption repeal bill and
on the various appropriation bills
they can make it impossible to ad-
journ before late in August or Sep
tember if any trust legislation is to
be enacted. Their plan is, just before
the last appropriation bill has been
taken up, and after the tolls question
has been settled, to begin their &C
tive and open work to obtain ad-
journment.
In view Of the fact that one-third
of the senators will be eager to get
back to their states to run in the
popular elections, they county on
much backing in their demand for
time to mend their fences. They also
count on support from the House,
where every member wants to get
back to his district.
Friends Of the president, however,
state that no matter if these tactics
should draw out the present session
Of congress until it merges with the
new session beginning December Z,
the trust legislation must be enact
ed. They hope that when this finally
draws upon the obstructionists the
delay program will be abandoned.
The passage of the agricultural ap-
preparation bill through the Senate
took forty days. A week or so is,
normally, plenty for the discussion of
such a measure. Passage of all kinds
of bills and work in general in the
Senate has been held up through the
eagerness, at every opportunity, or
Republican senators to make
speeches attacking the Democratic
tariff law, which Democratic senators
feel obliged to answer, much as they
deplore the waste of time.
Next week the Rivers and harbors
bill, increased in the Senate commit
tee by round of s10,000,000, will
be reported out. This is one of the
prize packages in the way Of a pork
barrel bill, with every senator want
ing all he can get for his own state.
A long drawn out battle is expected,
with set speeches for distribution in
the approaching campaign plentifully
ornamenting the Congressional Rec
ord, and incidentally taking up the
Senate's time.
The tolls debate-that is, the
heavy, set speech part-has nearly
concluded. Mr.. Carton of New Mexi-
co, who will speak Monday, Is the
only remaining senator who has given
notice of his intention to speak,
though a number of others will un-
doubtedly make long addresses.
When the time comes for the vote it
is likely that about day will be
consumed in roll calls.

cials of the Pullman company and
the railroad companies operating
these Pullman cars should be noti-

TILLMAN Is FOR SMITH
DENIES HAVING ENDORSED Gov
ERNOR'S AMBITION.
'.The States Good Name VIII be Bet
ter Preserved and We VIII Have
q Better Senator"

Senator Tillman Thursday gave
out the following on the South Caro-
lima political situation, especially
with reference to John L. McLaurin's
letter on the stand of John G. Rich
ards Jr., and the governor: II have
just seen telegram from The News
and Courier to its correspondent here
saying McLaurin has made q public
statement to this effect:
"'I am glad that Senator Tillman
has reached the conclusion that
peace can only come through the
election, not the defeat Of Gov,
Blease, and that his candidate, Rich
ards, has declared for Gov. Blease.
ITO say that I am surprised, very
much surprised, does not express my
feelings. have not given out any
such utterance, and have not had any
such thought. I am sure that what
ever may be Mr.. Richards attitude,
he will regret ever having declared
for Gov. Blease. Whether peace will
come by Gov. Blease's defeat or not
T know the States good name will
be preserved and we will have bet
ter senator here than if Blease is sent
to Washington.
"Of course McLaurin is swinging
onto Blease's coattail in a desperate
hope that he will thus be pulled
through and elected governor, but as
I predicted some months ago there
is no hope for him ever recovering
the confidence of the people of South
Carolina until he has expiated his
past misdeeds and sins. am salts
fed now that if Senator Smith bears
himself like man that this open
alliance between Blease and McLau-
rim will only help to bury both Of
them.
Had McLaurin followed my ad-
vice and exposed Bleaseism, its utter
selfshness, its lack of catholicity of
spirit and craftsmanship, he would
have stood some chance Of coming
back in the future, for he would have
made atonement for his betrayal of
the people of the State. But now
there is no earthly chance for him,
whatever Blease does. / believe this
alliance between the two will cause
Gov. Blease to go down to defeat
more surely"

The only representative defeated
in the primaries was Claude L'Engle
