Keep Record
Registration.
Many breeders of pure-bred
animals get in the habit of trust
ing their memories and become
careless with their record keep
ing. It is often the case that
a breeder will wait until time for
registering animals without mak
ing any specific record of breed
ing or birth dates. If a neigh
bor’s sire is used it may be that
he is trusted to keep the only
record.
All breeders of pure-bred ani
mals should make themselves
acquainted with the rules of
registration for the breeds they
keep. The secretaries of the
breed associations will furnish
full information and blank forms
free of charge, so there is no ex
cuse for ignorance in regard to
this matter. When an animal is
sold, promptness in forwarding
the certificate of registration and
transfer will be appreciated by
the purchaser.
The breeder of pure-bred ani
mals should keep an accurate
record of all breeding operations.
As time goes on, these records
become more and more valuable.
They enable him to avoid mis
takes, and may save him from
financial loss in case of dispute.
Before giving up! registration
certificates of animals which
have been sold, it is a good plan
to copy from the certificates into
a book kept for the purpose the
name and registration number of
each animal, date of birth, name
and number of sire, name and
number of dam, date of sale, and
name and address of purchaser.
Another very important record
is one which gives particulars
regarding the produce of each
dam. With such a record a breed
er is able to study the values of
his animals and compare them.
To keep such a record it is neces
sary to have some mark of identi
fication. A satisfactory record
cannot be kept without a mark
or tag easily understood by herds
men or parties caring for ani
mals.
In addition to keeping complete
records of onimals every breeder
should have some method of
book-keeping which will show
the financial standing of the busi
ness. The system need not be
complicated, but the books should
at least show all sales, and all
purchases, -whether of feed or
stock, and should contain an in
ventory showing the value of the
stock on hand at the beginning
of each year. It is worth while,
also, to use neatly and attractiye
ly printed letter heads and en
velopes in answering correspon
dence, They help to advertise
and secure business. Above all,
one must remember that a satis
fied customer is the best adver
tisement, and that it is poor busi
ness to try to take advantage of
of a customer in any way.

TOO MUCH EVEN FOR IMAGES
Statues on British Parliament Build
ings Unable to Stand Awful
Climate of London.
The outer walls of the houses of
parliament in London are crumbling.
Hundreds of carved images, mostly of
imaginary royal figures, have been un
able to withstand the ravages of the
weather, combined with the smoke
laden London atmosphere. They suffer
also from the lack of respect shown
them by hundreds of pigeons which
roost on the scepter and sharpen their
beaks on the noses of kings.
Scarcely a day passes but a mon
arch’s hand or toe falls into Palace
yard. Not long ago a king’s head was
found in fragments on the terrace.
During the recess scaffolding will
be erected and many workmen em
ployed, at a cost of $53,000, picking off
the loose bits. Thus may one man in
a day uncrown scores of kings.
Sir John Gilmour, who represents
tlie government department that looks
after public buildings, is of the opinion
that none of the kings or other distin
guished folk will be allowed to stick
it out much longer on the outer walls
of parliament. *T think the day will
come before long,” he says, ’’when all
tlie statues will have to be taken away.
The situation does not agree with
them.”
USED ODD WEDDING COACHES
Steam Plow, Traction Engine, Tram
car, and Other Vehicles H«ve
Transported Bridal Partlea.
An American bridegroom who made
his journey to the altar fa a steam
plow has had many rivals in matri
monial carriages.
It is not long since a bridal couple
and their guests made a dramatic ap
pearance in a Kentish village on a
traction engine, and a procession of
trucks gayly decorated with flags, flow
ers and evergreens, says London An
swers.
A wedding party drove up to St.
Mark’s church, Birmingham, one Eas
ter Sunday In mourning, the coaches
and the horses being incongruously
adorned with white rosettes. A pret
tily decorated tramcar was the chosen
vehicle of a Wolverhampton bridal
party, the driver and conductor wear
ing white gloves and smart button
holes and the Journey to the church
being heralded by the explosion of
fog signals.
But perhaps the most novel Journey
of all was that of a young Austrian
couple, whose wedding procession slid
down a steep hill from the bride’s
home to Paysback church on seven to
boggans decorated with pine branches
and flowers.
Re-Proofing Your Raincoat*
Whatever the time of year, one
needs a reliable raincoat in the coun
try, but unless of a rubbered variety,
many raincoats quickly lose their rain
proof qualities, and are useless for
tlie purpose they were intended to
fill. Here is a method of re-waterproof
lng cloth that will be found quite suc
cessful and easily carried out at home.
Take one and a quarter pounds of
Mum and dissolve this in five gal
lons of boiling water. In another bath
dissolve one and a quarter pounds of
sugar of lead. Then mix the two solu
tions.
Place the coat in the mixture and
make sure that it is saturated with
the liquor. Without wringing, put
the coat in a hanger and dry, plunge
into cold water and then hang out to
dry again. This time it will be fit for
use, apd wJU withstand ordinary rain.
The Patriotic Spirit.
Animated by this spirit the par
tisan is enlarged into patriot. Before
it the lines of party sink Into hazy
obscurity; and the horizon which
bounds our view reaches on every side
to the uttermost verge of the great
Republic. It is a spirit that exalte
humanity, and imbued with It the
souls of men soar into the pure air
of unselfish devotion to the public
welfare. It lighted with a smile the
cheek of Curtlus as he rode into the
gulf; it guided the hand of Aristides
as lie sadly wrote upon the shell the
sentence of his own banishment; it
dwelt in the frozen earthworks of Val
ley Forge; and from time to time It
has been an inmate of the halls of
legislation,—Thomas I. Bayard.
Darby and Joan.
“Darby and Joan" was first applied
to a very happily married couple who
lived in the Eighteenth century and
bore those names. They were John
Darby, printer, of Bartholomew's
Close, London, England, and his wife,
Joan. The constancy and devotion to
one another of this old-fashioned, sim
ple, and virtuous couple so Impressed
Henry Woodfall, who had served his
apprenticeship with the printer, that i
he wrote a poem, “Darby and Joan,"
in commemoration. This poem was
printed in the London Gentleman's j
Magazine, and received a good deal of
notice. Tlie expression then passed
into the English language as symboliz
ing the eventide of happy wedlock.
Big Demand for Radium.
The principal use for radium In the
commercial world is as a luminous
; material on watch and clock dials and
' so on. It Is not the radium that glows,
but other substances which become
luminous in the presence of very ml- j
□ute quantities of radium. More than '
four million watches and clocks alone
have been treated, arid hardly a third \
of an ounce of radium has been used
In the production of the luminous ms- j
terlal required.

Exact Copy of Wrapper. the centaur compart, new tork citt.
i Mr. Petty began improving his
cotton in 1916 or 1917 by the sin
gle stalk selection method, being
very careful to keep records on
the different plots and having his
cotton ginned on a private gin on
the H. A. Petty farm, thereby
keeping his seed absolutely pure
as he did not gin for the public.
Mr. Petty has continued the
above method until now, his suc
cess is quite evident and the de
mand for Petty's improved cot
ton seed is much greater than the
supply available and he cannot
fill the orders received for seed.
His cotton has made a very
creditable showing in all sections
planted. Mr. Petty has made -
shipments of his seed, not only
out of the State of Georgia but
out of the United States and in
to China and Italy.
