WHY he PREFERS PURE BREEDS.

"What first attracted our serious at
tention to pure-breds," said Mr.. Cox,
twas the extra income derived from the
sale OF surplu Q stock. When scrub and
grade calves were selling for only SO,
pure-bred calves brought their owners %
high as 500. The possibility Of getting
q greater income from our herd with no
sppreciable cost Of labor or feed, Was
pro badly uppermost in our minds when
we started replacing grades with pure.
breds.
"After having had pure-breds on test.
we found that they could and did pro.
duce not only as we'll 40 our improved
grades, but even better; and our grades
bad been of good quality, too, for We
had tested and culled ont constantly.
Such animals as the last grade COW kept
| by John Ericsson were In our herd. That
cow we bought, though old, largely for
the sake Of her calves. Others were not
all 80 good, but they were oil profit
makers. Yet our first pure-bred herd
outdid them; and our entire pure-bred
herd today has better record than our
grade herd ever had at Its best.
"While improving our herd OF grade
Holsteins, we bought Q good pure-bred
Holstein sire. His part and importance
in bringing the offspring TO higher
standard soon became apparent. How.
ever, though realizing the sire's value,
We also began 10 feel that 1t was time,
money, and energy thrown away to mate
him with only mediocre COWS. The
more valuable the sire, the better the
COWS should be, We thought, 10 a. TO
| make his Investment allthe more worth
vhilU. That was smother reason fol
bringing into our herd some good pure
bred COWS; TO get better use and greater
returns from our sire.
IA mixed herd Of grade and pure
breds, however, did not suit us very
we'll for long. We wanted the, entire
herd alike--all pure-breds-so that
prospective buyers would always know
that everything Was pure-bred and would
therefore be more deslrous OF purchas
ling from our herd. With that II mind
Ne disposed OF all our grades - fast u
We could and replaced them with pure
ibreds. The last grade went to Oklahomi
this fall along with two carloads o.
Holsteins. After having paid 300 fol
her three years ago and selling two OF he'
calves and her milk, We sold her agair
for 800 to these people"

understanding and good nature to

II takes a combination OF fox and
lion TO make a successful lawyer.
There are at least two general types
OF lawyes-the court or trial lawyer
and the counsellor. The first must
be a true ~catechtst. a convincing pub
lie speaker; keen. alert. resourcoful,
self-confdent. courageous. with a
considerable degree OF poise and
self-control. He may be either ag-
gressive, belligerent and combative,
or mild, persuasive and NONRESIDENT,
but shrewd, intelligent. re%sourceful.
A timid, dreamy, credulous man has
no business in the law. A lawyer
may love peace. but he should be
willing to fight for It.
Because legal ethics forbid a lawyer
to advertise or solicit business open
ly, II is necessary for him to secure
a standing and clientele by indirect
methods. Best Of these Is making
and keeping friends. by mingling
With all classes and conditions OF
people, by political activity, and in

able and useful In the community. A
man who Is not naturally social OF
friendly Is not well qualified for any
profession. Unless he intends &c
work with a partner who has these
qualifications, and who will be thu
business getter Of the firm, he would
better leave the law alone.
The second class OF lawyer. tht
counsellor, is more OF the judicla
type. He is quite likely to be stou

1T Is true that some things were

they had not been softened by their

joyed these things makes the leaving
OF them at the call OF the Nation all
the more c~ommendable. Our Revolu-
