Shorthorns. A paper rcild by Wm. Ball at the Stock Uroeders' meeting. Mil. HIKSIDENT AND JJKMHEIM OF TUB tilTlAWAAMKK COUNTY STOCK BKKKDKK'ti association: When I promised to prepare something con cerning Shorthorns for this meeting I thought I had plenty of tlnio for such work. Bat I found that each day had It burdens and tasks, and the time 1 had hoped for never came; so I fear that I shall be unablo to treat the subject In as an intelligent and traref ul a manner as I should wish. What are the most profitable Shorthorns for the average farmer? It has always Beemed to mo a wise arrangement that man should labor, to supply his physical, moral and intellectual needs. This well planed neces sity existing, it becomes the careful, prudent man, to study lib needs, his desires, his uuiiiiivn, nnu us ini m jiuaaiuie iiiaivo u choice amonir the many imrsuits or profes sions that present themselves for his consld. eration. After having made a choice he 6hould make every effort toward obtaining the in formation renulred to suwessfullv and Intel ligently conduct said business. This is true hi all professions, in all trades, in all mer cantile ventures, and is just as true in all agricultural operations. A general and thorough knowledge on a variety of subjects is more necessary in advanced Agriculture . titan hi any other pursuit In this country. is a good practical education, thorough . book training, wide observation general know- lodge of men and business necessary to any or all of the professions, or other Industries if made successful? In a greater degree is it . necessary to the farmer if ho would make the most of his chosen field of employment, as well as Justice to himself and family. He should know enough of law, to avoid the courts; to make his own contracts inttlli gently, and know when such work Is legal ly done. Ho should understand the laws of physiology and health and see that they aro not abused, thereby saving tho expense of the family physician In numerous Instances His moral health should need no repairs. . lie should be thoroughly posted on all mat' ters pertaining to his business theoretically, and practically as fast as his experience and observation will warrant. He should know when to sow, when to reap and when to sell. All these qualifications the experienced farmer should have, and the beginner as many as possible. He must read, read, read, sift, compare, prove and disprove make applicable to his own use that which is good for him and his farm. Mistakes will occur but tho Intelligent fanner will draw lessons of wisdom from mistakes. . He should be u citizen In the fullest sense of the term. I have mentioned some of the qualifica tions that every iiiLelliircnt fannnr should have. 1 believe the best thought of the country agrees upon this point: That no farmer should bend all his energies in any isako his farming operations pay from year to year, for time and investment. A mixed ' husbandry is advocated by the best writers and thinkers on agriculture. There Is a gen eral agreement among all tlioughtful farmers that every well regulated farm should pro duce some grain, some hay, some roots, and different varieties of stock. The horse is a necessity. The cow. hoc sheen and hen equally as necessary. Upon this thero seems to ltd no essential difference of opin ion. In what proportion the distribution hhail be made must be left to the tastes and good Judgment of the party Interested. How much wheat, how much coarse grains, how much stock and of what kinds he shall ralso will depend upon his soil, his nearness to market, his tastes and desires. The mrhftflt fia erhura Cifij-Milrl 1 in tf K r f . I ! .... Itest adapted to his soil, climato and market His com that which will ripen in sexsonand yield well. His oats should Ixj of tho best horts (not Bohemian) that have proved well adapted to his locallt3',and so through tho whole list of grains and vegetables. His tillage should be thorough and the land In as good condition as possible. The stock he selects should be of the best of its kind, and his choice should depend upon his surroundings, his markets and de skles. These suggestions arc made with tho idea that the farmer Is a practical one and expects to inane nis living oui ot his invest ment, and not for those who have lately dis covered how honorable farming has become, and how fascinating (at a distance) and who upend a good deal of time and breath in telling how much they squander annually for the good of the cause. It is not the Horace ureeiey, iienry ward IJeecher style of farmers that we are to consider. Tho careful, thoughtful farmer after having made his selection, will see to It that his Htoe.k has that care and Judgment In breed ing and feeding that will most surely and wpce-dily bring the greatest development, (iood breeding, good feeding, good care, generous and gentle treatment are all essen tials to success. The scrub which In far too many instances disgraces the .fields and and barnyards of farmers in this arid other counties should be banished from the. land. It has no right or place on a well regulated aud well conducted farm, or among the good stock of the country. If those who grow this kind of stock will keep a debt and cred it account, of the cost of raising and the re turns they bring when disposed of. the bal ance will be found on the wrong side of the ledger. No man can truthfully say, ut the present time when nearly all classes of iin lroved stock is to cheap, that he is unable lo own them. If he keeps stock at all he cannot afford to own tho common kinds for they arc all sources of pecuniary loss; to say nothing of the humiliation of having them around. To the question or subject as signed nic "The Shorthorns for tho average Farmer." Without discussing tho question of the superiority of the Shorthorn or Infer iority as compared with other well bred cat tle, It may 1 expected that something will be said of the differences In the shorthorn t.ilx. The real difference existing in the differ ent families are not as great as many men would have us believe. Taking the block us the test by which Ixx'f animals ore to be Judged that .Shorthorn is Iet that furnishes the greatest amount of choice meat, in the least given lime, with the least exjeiise. From tills standpoint those animals which ran show through their history and lineage the greatest results in this direction with a strong tendency lo transmit these desirable qualities rcjrularly and mi rely to llieir off-1 hpring are the most profitable and practical for the average farmer. These traits and characteristics are not confined to any par ticular family; hence the family name should have no particular bearing in the selections made for practical value. A good combiiu'ion of beef producing qualities from a variety of these so called families will In my Judgement prove of much value. These families have (except ing a few) been breed so nearly in the samo direction that the differences are mostly fanciful. If the farmer desires good milking shorthorns (and their number Is legion) ho must combino with his beef pro ducing qualities the other natural character istics of the tribe, Its excellent milking abili ties. And here let me say by way of par enthesis, that In no tribe of cattle known to man Is there such a happy combination of these two necessary and desirable proper ties which. mako the best animal as the shorthorn.' The fictitious value placed on fashionable or unfashionable pedigrees to- guther with tho general decline in all agri cultural productions, has had much to do rin discouraging breeders of the red, while and roan, and many have sold their herds of thoroughbreds and kept their grades be cause fashion had said that their ancestors tmwt nil lmvM Icul mi Kmrllsh Html Hook ' pedigree previous to their excitation. The American people are quite apt to roi low fashion no matter who establishes it provided it seems likely to succeed. As ap plied to shorthorn breeding, it is well that every breeder should inform himself regard ing it. The authority that proclaims Hod Itose by Earnest)', Caroline by Dashwood and Daisy by Wild unfashionably bred be cause forsooth they did not have a record in the English herd book, which I think had not attained any great prominence at the time of their exportation, also pays this high tribute to them, that they were three of the lest shorthorns ever imported into the United States, No critic has ever cast a suspicion uiHin tho purity of their breeding. To show how little a record in tho earlier English herd l;iok should affect us or our cattle here, I will relate a little history. The rule that governs the registration of their cattle is this, as 1 understand it: If a cow that has no record (1 suppose she must be of shorthorn antecedents) is bred to a registered shoehorn bull, and her female progeny Is also bred to a pure bred bull and so un to four or five crosses, then such off spring is eligible to record In the English Herd Book, and If Imported Into this coun try would come under tho fashionable list. Now take an imported cow that was brought over a good many years since, and as a thoroughbred shorthorn, and though she may In her progeny have twenty crosses of the best of breeding, still by the rules of fashion she is boycotted, and tho man with Healy in his hand says to his neighbor who feels disposed to buy a pure bred, good animal don't you touch her, she Is unfashion ably bred. Now can the practical farmer who wants tho best beef and milk animal combined see any reason for discriminating against such good, well bred, practical cattle. And to the average farmer I am appealing. To the breeder who hopes and expects to furnish breeding stock to be used in what are called fancy strains of blood, I would say as the commercial value of the herd might bo injured by such crosses, let them alone. But to tho farmer who breeds cattle for tho real value thero is in them, both as to beef and milk, you will make no mistake in buying and breeding from these long established, good families of cattle. 1 would not be understood as saying that it is not desirable to have a herd of cattle free from any thing that fancy might find fault with, but for the breeder to sacrifice good animals, purely bred, and pay for paper simply, when the cattle are no better and frequently not so good, is the heighth of nonsense and should be discouraged, ine farmer must raise and breed that kind of stock that will pay for the investment made, or it Is not a good one. Men may and should breed fancy and gilt edged pedigrees if they desire to, and liavo other resources to rely upon, but to tho careful aud prudent man this will not do.

In the tail ot le, spring of 1881 and ma t he was re-elected to the position by increased majorities. uunug nis eleven years' service upon the circuit bench Judge Hooker has won an enviable reputation as a conscientious, im partial and just judge. He has presided at some of the most important trials in the juristics of the state, among which we will mention the Barnard murder trial, the no. torious Pugsloy case, the Carveth wife poisoning case and the famous Pcrrin liti gationall of which are familiar to well-informed attorneys. Tho rare judgment and firmness displayed by Judge Hooker in some of these more notable cases attracted the at tention of the country. His prompt and decisive suppression of disorder in the Bar nard trial was made the subject of a leading editorial In the Chicago Times, and tho ex ample was commended to Judge Cox, of Washington, who was then presiding at the Guiteau trial. Of his rulings and decisions in the Carveth caso the Detroit Tribune de clared that it was a most opportuno rens suranco to tho people that Michigan courts were performing their legitimate duties with fairness and promptitude and as worthy bf the highest commendation. The fifth Judicial circuit is the largest lit population in the state presided over by one judge, but no citizen ever has cause to com plain that he Is deprived of his "day in court." The sessions of the court are always characterized by Industry, economy and dignity. And tho scales of Justice arc held at even poise by an incorruptablc hand and the rights of the humblest citizen weighs equal to those of the wealthy and the repre sentatives of corporate power. If nominated. Judge Hooker would in no wise discredit tho bench that has been made illustrious by tho erudition of such noted Jurists as Cooley, Graves, Chrlstlancy and Campbell. Great jurists are not unlike dis tinguished soldiers and statesmen in that they are the development of conditions and opportunities, and we predict of Judge Hooker that If elevated to the supreme bench ho would come to be recognized be fore his term had expired as being worthy to take rank among those learned and profound Jurists who have conferred such lasting lustre ujon the Jurisprudence of our state. roil THE INAUGURAL BALL. The Pension Suil&lnsr Court Will he Turaol Into a Garden of Flowers. The floral decoration at the Inauguration ball in Washington will be on a magnificent scale, and surpassing any effort in that line that has ever been made befoje.
