Aberdeen-Angus News 
C. C. Waters of Germantown, Md., has 
purchased a car of Aberdeen-Angus 
feeder steers, and is so much pleased with 
them that he expects to put in another 
load. These are the first Angus feeders 
seen in his section and are arousing con¬ 
siderable interest. 
Dr. Seulke has just returned from Key- 
ser, W. Va., where he assisted in starting 
Ian Aberdeen-Angus calf club. Ten ex¬ 
cellent heifer calves were distributed to 
boys in the county, and all things point 
to a most successful club. These calves 
were of uniform size and excellent qual¬ 
ity, being obtained from the herds of J. 
G. Henline of Schell. W. Va., and F. O. 
Idleman. Elk Garden, W. Va. There is 
a great deal of interest in Aberdeen- 
Angus cattle in Mineral County, W. Va., 
and the local breeders put on an excel¬ 
led show of the breed at the county fair. 
II. C. Holloway of Perryman, Md., has 
purchased 10 heifers from a Virginia 
breeder and a bull from F. W. Ilayden 
of Wyoming, N. Y. This is the third new 
herd of Aberdeen-Angus established in 
Maryland during the last few weeks.

LEMUEL BLACK Lock Box 350 Hightstown, N. J. 
Dodge Farm. Washington, Conn., re¬ 
ports that Lady Fayne Alcartra 2nd. the 
junior two-year-old champion of New 
England, is now on semi-official test for 
the year, and is making a very favorable 
record. She freshened last February, and 
made an official record of 26.88 lbs. of 
butter, 522 lbs. of milk in seven days. 
In 30 days 111.4 lbs. of butter, 2,300 0 
lbs. milk. During the first seven months 
of her yearly test she has made 12,275 
milk and 50i lbs. of butter. 
I notice an item regarding the word 
thoroughbred. It is the common word 
used to denote the running breed of 
horses, and no animal can be a thorough¬ 
bred until bis ancestry can be traced nine 
generations. This fact eliminated the 
light harness horses from the thorough¬ 
bred class, as their ancestry cannot be 
traced to nine generations. But the run¬ 
ners can. as they have been tabulated for 
a long time, especially in England and 
Arabia. It is my belief that any animal 
with proper recording of ancestry to nine 
generations would become a thoroughbred. 
I had occasion to note a bit of history, re¬ 
garding the trotting filly Hope Frisco 
! that was sold to Thomas Murphy, the 
! premier reinsman, a year ago last Win¬ 
ter at the Madison Square Garden sale, 
Mid the writer mentioned the fact that 
she was the only thoroughbred trotter in 
■Tie world, because she could be traced 
line generations. It takes at least a 
century or more to produce an animal to 
the ninth generation, and the day is com¬ 
ing when the trotter will be classed as 
thoroughbred. F. c. ohaffee.

In a former article a prominent sheep 
breeder tries raising mutton from a fine 
wool flock. Everything in the history of 
sheep breeding shows that the importa¬ 
tion of fine wool sheep has spoiled the 
American’s taste for mutton, and they 
insist on lamb (so-called) from the fact 
that all fine wooled sheep became high in 
[flavor with age, while the saddle of South- 
down at four years old is considered the 
choice in European countries, and mutton 
is used universally because the cuts are 
from mutton sheep. Our trade is spoiled 
by trying to eat the greasy flesh of fine 
wool sheep. . E. R. C. 
Conditions are improving. Cows are 
blunging from $65 to $100. Butter. 52c 
per lb.; potatoes, $1.25 per hu.; apples. 
Northern Spy, $4 per bu. Eggs from 45 
to 58c per doz. Hay, medium crop; corn 
good; oats half crop. Buckwheat poor. 
Apple crop scarce, but very few in this 
section. Farms are not selling very much 
at present, but when one is sold it brings 
a good round price. This is a good farm¬ 
ing section ; a good cheese and butter fac¬

Stock is being fed mostly in barns now, 
and the milk How is checking up consider¬ 
ably. There was a big crop of corn har¬ 
vested in Franklin County this Fall, 
which will help out the great shortage in 
hay. The potato and grain crops are be¬
