though there was a beautiful quar-

harmony in such profusion that We
wished we were blind, or could, in

chained in the most rapturous at.

SENATOR eRADv's GOOD WORK

New York, Dec. q. Secretary
Houston of the department Of agri.
culture, has blocked the plan to rush
foreign potatoes to this country when
he changed the date of their landing
for the New York market from Jan.
uary l to December "a.
When the secretary fixed January /
as the limit for loading potatoes
abroad for this market receivers
here cabled orders to engage tramp
steamers and load potatoes before
the time expired.
Arrangements had been made for
100000 bags, which, with $4,000 on
hand, would have made 100000 bags
of foreign potatoes for this market.
Secretary Houston heard of the
move and blocked it with a change
of date. Several tramp steamers that
had been chartered were released.
Brady's Good Work
Senator James H. Brady of Idaho

against raising the embargo on for.

ing the situation as applied to one
of the most active industries Of Ida.

good through his activities, and Sc
cured protection both in price and
product for one of the greatest crops
OF the west Incidentally potato blight
cannot be imported.
Thousands of cars of potatoes are
stored in eastern Idaho, and were the
foreign spuds permitted to come into
direct competition with the western
product. it wouldn't pay to load To-
cal tubers on the cars.
Thus Senator Brady has succeeded
in applying a little good Republican
protection to the Idaho farmer and
it is apparent that Secretary Hous'
ton has backed him up. -,-E-E-

The International Livestock show
held in Chicago, the first part OF
December, was the best one of its
kind the world has ever seen. More
and better entries for each and every
class were present.
Horses particularly interected me.

and light harness horses. ...I.l
The ones present were at the top
OF their class. One animal in partic.
ular. belonging to .Cincinatti lady,
had originally been purchased for sixty
dollars. Later,.it was purchased by
this lady and trained for q saddler.
Last year at the International it
took the Blue Ribbon, and today 10
worth several thousand dollars. .t
Thousands Of horses were exhib.
tied, and as a general rule. they were
fine animals, but a few were very
poor In quality. Their owners would
show them: and later while trying to
sell them would state that they had
been at the International, and "al.
most" secured a prize. OF course,
this would aid as a selling argument
The cattle exhibit was very fine.
The grand champion steer OF the
show. a Polled Angus, was an excep-
tionally fine individual. He was
owned by,a a Canadian. Some very
fine car load lunches of fat steers
were shown. These had all been fin.
ished on corn, and Of splendid appear

In the dairy type. the breed which
interested me most was the dual pur-

intended for farmers keeping about
10 or II head of dairy cattle. They
give large quantities of rich milk. and
when fattened are very satisfactory
as beef animals. The ones showed at
of good mixers.
The sheep exhibit was fair. A

honors.
There were all kinds of hogs pre-
