What is meant by the greatest
battle ever fought? If you mean
numbers engaged, then Chalons,
where Eetius met the Huns; If you
mean destruction, then Cannae where
Hannibal slew 10000 out Of the So
600 Romans; if you mean brillianey
Of tactics and fighting, then Chan
cellorsville, where Lee put Hooker out
Of business.

While congress and various organ
izations have been talking about i'm
proving the farmers credit, the Jew
ISL farmers Of the United States have
actually done so, for they have in
operation q system OF loans on land
and q system OF personal credit The
Jewish Agricultural and Industrial
Aid society, an offshoot Of the Baron
de Hirsch fund, undertook in 1900 TO
carry on the work which that fund
had begun in 1890, Of making mort
gage loans 70 farmers The system is
similar 10 that Of the Credit Foneier
and other land credit institutions in
Europe Loans are made at / per
cent interest and are repayable in
moderate annual installments. In II
years the society has made 28OO loans
aggregating about 81 800 900 TO $500
Jewish farmers in the United States
and Canada.
Fads often prove expensive in the
long run. Typical American Short
horn cattle were roam and spotted.
Breeders OF these fine cattle con-
eeived the idea that red was the
proper color and began breeding to
produce that color exclusively. The
result was that, in paying so much
to color, many other M, re
valuable qualities Of the Shorthorns
were bred out" and an inferior u.ai-
ity was produced. For the last two
or three years the best breeiers have
been getting away from the red color
and back 70 the roans by breeding
their cows to pure white bulls Scot
land is noted for its pure white S',art-
horns and the American breeies. who

herd, has no trouble disp0sing Of
white bulls. Breeders of Poland Chi
IA hogs passed through the sare ex-
oerience. Originally Poland C!linas
we're big, with big ears, q fairly long
snout and often with considerable
white on them. In breeding for
smaller ear, a shorter snout and less
white a smal-boned, understood, weak
hog was produced. Sows
produced small filters and were poor
Successful Poland China
breeders today advertise big bone
:ype. That means they are getting

md be able TO furnish milk for them.
Many fads, besides the two mentioned,
ire no more successful when final
,esults are reckoned with.
