a Defeated Foe.
Ordinarily in all siege operations Il
surrender of a fortress is uncondition-
al, and the vanQuished tacitly agree to
accept whatever terms the victor, in
his wisdom, may impose, relying upon
the latter's magnanimity for good and
lenient treatment. The usual course is
this: The garrison is disarmed. They
are made to fall in, all so many prison
erS, and escorted to wherever their
conquerors decide they shall be de-
tanned.
The cOnquerorS, Of course see that
the escort is a strong guarG, properly
armed, able to put down at once any
attempt on the prisoners part to cs-
cape OF disobey orders. Worst of all
and certainly the most CALLING to any
real soldier, the almost sacred trophies
Of the different regiments become the
spoils of the victors.
Guns, ammunition, colorS and such
like things all have to be given up,
though men have given their lives to
defend them. For the future they
grace the homes of the enemy or are
turned against their old owners in the
field.
1t is in these things that the humili-
alton of surrender becomes complete.
Yet all Of it is saved when the beaten
garrison Is granted the "honors Of
war" That means the defenders were

was able to make something better
than IN unconditional surrender. Their
heroic defense had not left them at
their last gasp. They could maintain
hostilities for some time yet. and. al
though they would undoubtedly be
beaten at the finish, the fortress could
only be taken after more loss had
been suffered.
In such a case all that is demanded
Of the beaten men is that they should
evacuate all their positions. These the

Why It's "Horse" Chestnut.

a generally accepted reason why the
horse chestnut is so called is on ac-
count Of the resemblance to a horse
shoe that is to be found when the
twigs of the tree are sliced obliquely.

AN ARAB LEGEND.
Story of the Covetous Man Who Went
a Step Too Far.

a Step Too Far.
The Arabs tell Il story to show how
a mean mans philosophy overshoots
itself. Under the reign of the first ca
liph there was Il merchant Of Bagdad
equally rich and avaricious.
One day he bargained With Il porter
to carry home for him a basket of por-
celain vases for 10 paras. AS they
went along he said to the man: MY
friend, you are young, and I am old.
You can still earn plenty. Strike a
para from your hire" "Willingly," re-
piled the porter. This request was e
peated again and again, until, when
they reached the house, the porter had
only a single para to receive.
AS they went upstairs the merchant
said, IF you will resign the last para
[ will give you three pieces of advice
BE it So said the porter. "Well,
then" said the merchant, eff any one
tells you it is better to be fasting than
feasting do not believe him. If any
one tells you it is better to be poor
than rich do not believe him. If any
one tells you it is better to walk than
ride in your carriage do not believe
him"
My dear sir" replied the astonished
porter, II knew these things before
But if you will listen to me I will give
you such advice as you never heard be,
FORE The merchant turned around
and the porter. throwing the basket
down the staircase, said. eff any one
tells you that one of your vases is IN
broken do not believe him."

high class individuals. This practice
has been followed by a great many
men who have improved the breeds of

During the early process of breeding
it was necessary to select very careful

appear that showed the desired char.

DAIRY an0
CREAMERY
ORIGIN OF DAIRY BREEDS.
High Milk Production the Result of
Selection and Breeding.

High Milk Production the Result of
Selection and Breeding.
The man who desired larger produc-
ton of dairy products began selecting
the COWS that produced heaviest and
used these as foundations upon which
to begin his breeding operations, says
the Kansas Farmer.
This selection and breeding was car
ried ON in several different countries,
resulting in different breeds. The re-
suit has been the development of sew
eral breeds varying in color, size and
richness and quality Of milk. How
V it is a notable fact that, although
these COWS were bred by different
races Of people in different climates
some for high yields of butter fat, 9th
ers for high yields of milk, some for
larger size to add beef production to
dairy production and others without
any apparent regard to size-yet in
general type and conformation high
producing COWS of all these different
breeds are very similar.
This similarity of conformation of
profitable dairy cows has led to the
recognition of what is known as the
dairy type. This type is the result Of
the evolution of the dairy cow, a sur-
vival Of the fittest. The early breeders
selected the heaviest producers, used
them for breeding stock, and the re-
suit is the thin. angular conformation
which is known as tie dairy type.
There have been a great many eff
forts made in recent years to breed
high producing dairy cattle carrying
heavy fleshing characteristics Of the
beef COW, but failure has been the re-
suit. The thick fleshing characteristic
Of the good beef COW is not to be CO.
ordinated with high and profitable
milk production of the good dairy COW.
Each is a special purpose animal, in
heriting in one case the tendency to
turn feed into beef, in the other to
turn it into milk.

Value of tnbreeding Milk Cattle to

The question arises as to how long a
bull may be used. Inbreeding has been
condemned by Il great many breeders,
and it also finds earnest advocates
among a great many others, says Pro
lessor Neal Of the Kansas State college.
The difficulty is not with the principle
of inbreedine, but lies wholly with the
skill of the breeder. 1t must always be
remembered that where Il sire is mated
with his daughter his blood is intensi-
fed and his characteristics are much
