CITY OF MEXICO. Feb. 9. (By Malll
Personally rules politics in Mexico
with the new year witnessing a def-
mite alignment Of candidates FOR the
presidential elect on in July. this fact
becomes more apparent than ever Just
as politics Is personal. so are policies
personal and the American who seeks
for a division here on partisan lines,
over such an issue as the tariff, or the
peace treaty, seeks IN vain.
Mexican voters, when they 80 to the

The situation today:

The records of milk production of
some of the best of the dairy cattle
OF the present day may be pointed to
as among the finest and most con-
vincing examples of the value of
careful attention to breeding in agri-
culture. The prices at which fine
dairy animals are sold is again, in
another way, an indication of the
possibilities of breeding. 1t is now
generally recognized by wide awake
dairymen everywhere that, however
important feeding and management
may be in regard to profitable milk
production, in the long run dairy
qualities must be bred in the strain
IL herd is to be permanently prof
table. The Importance of work in
this field is attested by the forma-
ton Of COW testing associations and

every diaryman is how he shall best
breed for dairy production. In spite
Of the notable success which has
been attained in this direction it re-
mains fact that knowledge in this
field is still largely of a haphazard
and empirical character. 1t is an OBJ
vious fact that some cows which are
great producers, perhaps nearly as
great as we shall ever see have been
tired. But if one tries to breed more
like these he too often meets with
failure where he hoped for success
Fen though one studies most care
Ger and attempts to repeat as nearly
as possible the same kind of breed
ing he usually does not get his de-
sired result.
The real fact is that in the present
state of our knowledge regarding in
heritance and breeding nobody can
tell for most animals and particular
iy for dairy cattle, what are the facts
of real significance and Importance
as distinct from those which are
trivial and accidental in a pedigree.
Pedigrees are the ultimate founda-
ton of all breeding operations, but
before one can reach the condition
where the results of breeding will be
certain and sure, one must learn how
to separate the wheat from the chaff
in pedigrees. No one who has studied
the breeding of dairy cattle doubts
that much in the pedigree of any of
the great performers has no real
significance. whatever in the attain
ment of that performing ability. But
how shall we know what is of real
importance in a pedigree. and what
can without harm or loss be neglect
ed as of no significance? If breeding
for dairy production is to be put on
the sure basis of exact scientific
knowledge so that the farmer will
not be forced from necessity to try
costly and doubtful experiments for
himself. but instead can breed his
cattle with the assurance of good re-
suits provided he feeds and houses

Civil Actions Tried

Dublin, Sept. 1.-One important

which was put into effect last month
is that which gives power to try
civil actions without a Jury. 1t is

bar to idleness.
The proceedings in criminal mat
tiers of Sim Fein Courts are AL

When the Sim Feiners arrest a man
on a charge of theft or burglary or
anything else the police treat the
! Sim Feiners' action as a breach of
the liberty of the subject who should

The Sim Feiners are prosecuted for
assault, tried by courtmartiaI and
sentenced to long terms of imprjs-
onment.
The civil trials by the Sim Feiners
are more difficult to deal with. for
they can be argued to be merely ar

Police have recently been attend

have not interfered with the pro-

OF those engaged SO that they NAV

This lack of knowledge of the laws
of inheritance of milk and butter-fat

ton that led the Maine dairymen ten
years ago to ask the Legislature to

undertake investigations in Animal
Breeding. While much of value has
been disclosed by the Station through
the analysis of existing records the
real key must be found by some such
