a short stop az Aberdeen which is
the center Of one Of the most I'm
portant livestock regions Of Scot
land. Upon our arrival in Aberdeen
we found letter awaiting us from
Mr. Webster, a nephew Of the i'm
mortal Mr. Duffy, who is known as
the king Of Shorthorn breeders.
Following the Instructions in the
letter, we hired an automobile and
after a pleasant ride were soon al
the farm Of Mr.. Duffy where we
were royalty received.
While az his home our first stop
az the farm was rewarded with the
opportunity Of seeing Cluny Proud
Augustus and Balcairn White Eagle,
two Of Mr.. Duffy's favorite bulls.
The former was bought for SIG 900
and the latter for $4,000. One pc
culiarity Of Balcairn White Eagle is
that although he Is white his, "get"
are almost invariably red.
We next visited the farms Of Mr.
James Durno Of Uppermil and Mr.
former is well known ms n Judge Of
Shorthorn cattle al South American
fairs while the latter often judges in
the United States. The cattle were
exceedingly good and at every place
we visited they seemed 20 excel.
They were practically all OF the same
several families, and many Of the
bulls we saw we're Duffy bred. We
found the most popular blood lines
TO be Nouapariels, Violets, Laven-
ders, Buttercups, Broadhooks, Es-
tells, Missiles, Claras, Bessies, Mari
Colds, and Goldies. We also saw the
herd Of Mr.. Webster at whose home
we were served with very fine
luncheon. Because Of the lack Of
time, however, we did not get TO visit
two other places where we were ex-
pected
We returned TO Aberdeen sincerely |

received us so kindly and regretting /

deem.
| returned to the United States
feeling that with close attention TO
pasture corps and careful attention
TO breeding stock we could breed and
raise Shorthorn cattle that would
equal OF excel those Of any country.
With the more ideal climate and with
more attention to animals used for
foundation stock we would soon find
Il unnecessary to leave the United
States for blood from which 10 breed

NATURES PLENTY
ARTIFICIALLY OBSTRUcTED

That positive knowledge is preced-
ent to every right action in business
was clearly shown in the meeting Of
the Mental Science Class on the night
of March 20.
Truth, or knowledge, is the accurate
perception, formulation, and state
ment in the most easily understood
words, of the eternal Verities, natural
processes, and principles that are un-
changeabIe, unalterable-the same
yesterday, to-day, and forever, and can
verify that fact at any time by demon
'stration when the proper means are
available and are correctly applied and
utilized. This truth or knowledge does
not apply itself, but when it is acted
upon and carried into effect it will
eliminate from human affairs all Inn
itations and distractions that estop the
people now from the full enjoyment
Of the inexhaustible bounty Of nature,
and bring that absence of want and
woe which all crave; and enable a
felicity that language lacks adequate
terms 10 even approximately express.
Yes, indeed. the TRUTH and it alone,
can set us free.
This knowledge is not spontaneous,
but is dependent upon deliberate eff
fort, application and investigation to
acquire it. Being conscious does not
signify that anyone knows much Of
anything. Purposeful desire and seek

'Iis blessing I'll leave on your shore.
For your mountains and streams

And sure, St. Patrick was a better

ter on this side Of the Atlantic ever
was. St. Patrick drove all the snakes
out of Ireland, and here we are still
cursed with snakes galore, some of
them even walking erect on two legs.
But that did not interfere with the Joy
and gayety of the dance or the dane
ing class on Saturday night. The
green of the Emerald Isle was plenti-
full in evidence, and many a thought
of sympathy went out to the beleag-
uered people on the old sod.
Refreshments were served in honor
Of our dairy managers wife, who de-
parted Sunday afternoon with her lit
lte daughter on visit to relatives
in the State of Washington, and later
on will go to Canada to spend the sum-
mer with her mother.
The cake, cookies. and lemonade
were sure great. And. say, the some-
what stubborn lower limbs of some of
the new dancers are becoming more
pliable TO the rhythm of the music and
the voice of the dancing master, and
that is something. Come. boys, get in

is EDUCATION OF PROGENITORS
HELPFUL TO PROGENY?

Reading Of dissertation in the late
number of Physical Culture" at the
psychological meeting last Thursday
might, brought the subject Of ''Hered-
ity up for very animated discus
sion. The article contended that spe-
cial education and special physical
training of the parents had no influ-
ence in improving the apdtudes of the
offspring. The claim advanced by
Professor Weissmann some thirty-five
years ago and certain experiences
made on guinea pigs recently were put
forward to substantiate the assertion.
A diversity of vlews were expressed on
the subject, which should help to
broaden the outlook upon life of every7
one present. Some believed that edu-
cation, training of mind and body Of
the parents, were helpful to the off
spring, others believed it did not. The
trick that Jacob in Biblical times play
ed on his father-m-law in breeding
cattle was cited as an influence of ed
ucation upon animal mothers in pro-
ducing spotted calves, etc.
Elmer Gates, the psychological ex-
pert of the Smithsonian institute at
Washington, D. c.. some twenty-five
years ago, demonstrated that through
the special training Of animals, the
number of their brain cells could be
increased and higher degree of intel
ligence manifested, which improvement
was perpetuated in the offspring, when
both mother and father had been so
trained.
The higher intelligence and wonder
full technical achievements of to-day
were pointed to as proof that
genuine education of previous gener-
ations had gradually resulted in bet
ter physique. brain, and nerves
of man and woman of to-day.
Such an improvement is slow pro-
cess, because in the sub-conscious is
stored up, one might say, summing
up Of all past experiences, prejudices,
and opinions. and the new knowledge
gained can but slowly displace past
errors. And that is the reason why
progress is slow and has so many OBJ
,stacles to encounter. But it is fine that
we can meet and talk over such sub
Ijects in a friendly and impersonal way,
without getting all riled up.

SURPRISE PARTY AT
BALDWIN'S DAIRY

Last Wednesday night a group of ST.
lent colonists could have been seen
steaIthiIy advancing upon the colony
dairy, loaded with the paraphernalia
necessary to a surprise party.
The occasion was called for because
of the approaching departure of Mrs.
Baldwin and her little daughter for her
parents home in Canada, and some of
her friends sprung a complete surprise
on the household on this night.
Assembling quietly on the lawn in
front of the house, the group commen-
ced the premeditated charivarie by
singing. ''How Dry | Am'-this being
especially adaptable to the act Of the
household inside, for they could be
seen drinking lemonade Cor something
eIse).
After visit and talk and a game
of cards, refreshments were served
and merry time ended towards mid
night, when the party stumbled ovei
the garden homeward bound.
During the dance at the hotel on Sat
urday night, another little public send
off was given. big cake. and cookie;
and lemonade being served to all. Mrs
Baldwin left Sunday afternoon.

THE TEXTILE INDUSTRY

The most impressive way of impart-
ing information is by way of object
lessons. But when it is impossible to
see and watch all the processes in oper-
alton by which the clothing of the peo-
pie is provided. then the next best is
the movie film. On the night of Mch.
10, such films were shown in the Dix
lie Pride Playhouse at NewIlano, and
the exclamations of delight on the part
of the children gave sufficient evidence
of a clearer understanding on their
part of the modus operandi that put
clothes on their backs. They know
ready by their own observation and
that everything that they
cat, drink, wear. and enjoy costs hui

body has head and two hands to be

YOU AND THE VITAMINES

In the good old summer time it is
far more necessary to be circumspect
In selecting proper diet than in WIN
ter; because summer complaints, as
they are called. arise more readily from
an imperfect diet than will disease in
winter result from improper eating.
Green vegetables. eaten raw, chopped
up In salads, are especially desirable,
because they furnish the necessary
mineral salts in the very best form and
supply the bulk and roughness very
helpful in aiding evacuation and estab-
fishing regular habits.
Green onions, lettuce, and tender
cabbages. celery, ETC., are very good.
"A fine unfired salad can be made by
chopping up carrots, cabbage, onions,
celery in equal proportions, adding to
them raw flaked peanuts of the same
proportion and one-twelfth of the
quantity of grated horseradish. No
salt is required. Hundreds Of differ
ent kinds of salads can be made, by
changing the articles and proportions.
Some kind of salad should be served
at each meal to replace dish of a
starchy nature. of which character OF
foods there it at present entirel ly too

may have its cause in an unsuitably
proportioned diet, and everyone should
find out if such is the case and ar
