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. D. G.

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.

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.
