lending live stock puper In America. It Is a large,beau¬ 
tifully printed, aud elegantly illustrated weekly 
paper of from thirty six to forty-four pages orig 
Inul In both matter aud Illustrations, and especially 
designed for Uve-stock breeder* and such farmers as 
make some branch of stock prodding the leading fea¬ 
ture of their business. Hon. B. 5V. smith. Pres't of 
the National Cattle-Grower*’ Association of Amer¬ 
ica, says of It: ’* The wonderful success It liasachte- 
ved to Its special field of journalism only proves the 
old, old lesson which Is yet so hard for fools anti 
knave* to learn, that honesty Is the best policy. Its 
fearless condemnation of wrong and Its hearty In 
dorsemeulof right make It really and truly a great 
moral engine,” ‘ And Col. Harris. Director In the 
American short horn Breeders* Association, says : 
•• Tf it could take t in- place of' he hundreds. f wlshy 
washy things that rail themselves stock aud 
farm papers I would regard It as a National bless¬
