Decorations for Women.

Foreign countries are most prodigal
of feminine decorations. There are in
all some 20 foreign orders. and II is
said that Spain was the first country
to honor the gentler sex by including
them in orders of chivalry. The Lee
glon OF Honor, which has been pinned
TO not a few feminine breasts in the
present war. the Russian Order OF st.
Catherine, and the Austrian Star Cross
are few OF the greater orders which
can be accorded to women. In no
country does the decoration bestowed
on woman carry any title, as in the
case OF a masculine knighthood, but
in several countries certain female
decorations bestow a sort OF status
equivalent to rank In the army.

Department of Agriculture

Commissioner Of Agriculture w. T.
Guptill has issued a list of breeders
of pure bred stock in Maine for 1916,
which has been compiled under the
direction of }. H. Blanchard, the State
dairy instructor. The list includes
breeders Of cattle. sheep and horses
and covers some so pages. In regard to
the list the compiler says: The de-
partment Of agriculture in compiling
the following list has met with diff
cultieS which it seems, at this range,
are well-nigh impossible to overcome
or obviate in establishing a complete
and accurate list of all the pure bred
breeders of the State of Maine. APP
parent1y the information must come
from the secretaries of the different
breeders associations. These associa-
tons, while they have compiled to a
certain extent, have not been in any
sense exhaustive of the names they
have supplied us of people who own
pure bred stock. This is probably oW-
ing to the work (which it would entail
upon them in getting up and keeping a
true record of all the breeders and all
the new names added to the lists of
the different associations. 1t will
therefore. be necessary for the party
who keeps pure bred stock of any breed
whatever. to notify the department of
that fact. A record will be kept in this
office and at the next revision of this
list their names will be added. AS i'm
perfect as this list is, we think it will
be of great benefit to those parties
who are alive to the opportunities of
advertising their pure bred stock. Our
only regret is that it is not complete"
The list includes Il breeders of Ayr
shires, 95 breeders of Guernseys, BOG
breeders of Holsteins, 165 A. j. c. c.
Jersey breeders, IA Maine State Jer
sey breeders, 46 shorthorn breeders,
three Devon breeders. three Aberder-

the list
