for an hour costs $3.50. and five krona
is the customary tip for meal. while
one is expected to give a krona TO the

u S. Will Catalogue
Dominant Breeds

In the nation wide campaign "a
promote the general use Of purebred
sLrrs aud better live stock the United
States department OF agriculture will
keep records Of the agricultural coun-
ties according to the breeds of live stock
which predominant them. Practical ex-
perlcncc has demonstrated the dosir-
ability of communities concentrating
in the production of only few breeds
ana types of the different classes OF
live stock Such MANAGEMENT not only
enables the individual farmers TO aid
each other In improving and upSrading
their stock, but also gains for the
COMMITTEES wide regulations as centors
for certain breeds. The raising of sew
cral dominant breeds in any commun-
ity makes the locality the mecca for
prospective purchasers who have de-
slrlous Of buying animals Of those
breeds, and also makes II possible for
buyers to obtain stock in large guam
titles.
For the service Of persons interested
in examining or selecting live STOCK
the department will keep n record OF
the dominant breeds and varieties OF
the different kinds of live stock in
each county where such information is
oh:ained from accurate and depend
able sources. Pending future develop
ments in this work. a breed or Variet!
will he considered dominant II loo or
more good purcbred sircs of that breed
or variety are owned and used Tor
breeding in a county Sources OF IN
formation concerning these farm anil
mails will include county agents, offi-
GERS of state agricultural colleges, and
representatives Of state boards of az
riculturc. The department requests
that state and county live stock as
soc!ations transmit figures and ali
data available on the purehred sires
of that region TO their local county
agent or the state agricultural COL
Icge. This material should include
statement Of the number of pUrebrcd
sires in the county, together with the
GATE when the information was gain
cred. Initiative in collecting and re-
porting these data rests entirely VIZ
The county and state officials.
Information gathered in this way oE
the department OF agriculture will Le
available to the public. Thus persons
wishing to purchase any kind of i've
stock may ascertain readily VIVA

many desirable grade females, as well
as purebred stock of both sexes. Fur

headed for Philadelphia, their first
overnight stopping place. They will
leave Philadelphia tomorrow at IL A.
