The facta are a* sensational a* tbe sound. The American Bar Association lias admit ted it; leading judges have admitted it: and President Taft once framed a pointed aincmimend that no judgment, civil or criminal, should be set aside unless It appeared afllrmipiy^y t |, a t ihe error of ihe eom^ H j nt had resulted In miscarriage *:f- justice.

We have recently pointed out that the lawyers succeeded In beating simplitieatiop In Montana. In an admirable article in tire Kansas City Bar Monthly for March, Prof. John l). Lawson, of the University of Missouri, recall* the fad that when the Missouri Legislature passed a law simplifying procedure the supreme court of that slate upset it. Judge Lawson believes that our civil procedure is immeasurably behind the age -and timt in criminal procedure we have not 'advanced a step since the day* of Ijueeu Klixaheth. Judge Ar- midnn, oi The federal bench, has sta ted that ii a man lias I he-means tn keep up tlie tight he van, in a majority of cases, escape punishment for crime, A* our rules are now, thc-main con cern I* not a search for truth. Law yers struggle to get errors into the record, witnesses are hulliei) and judges are afraid. Those complicated technicalities, which the Kngli*h judges Invented long ago to protect the Individual from cruelty and oppression, have been retained and exaggerated by us. The English threw thorn away when the day* of cruelty and oppres. slon were at an end. An indictment, in England now states, in perhaps forty words of utmost simplicity, that, a cer tain crime was commuted try a certain person. We till pages of foolscap with most ridiculous language,r and then upset convictions if some one of the unnecessary words can ire strained In to a failure to observe some minor rule. The eon\ iction of a man for murder is upset because the foreman of tire jury having spelled lirst • fust.” Another conviction for murder is upset because the indictment charged that the victim died instantly, instead of then and there; another, because breast was spelled without the “a”; another, ho- catise tlie record failed to state the fact that the prisoner was present at his own trial, although the court could readily have detin mined that lie w as.

Do not make a hasty choice, fur nothing nill ruin your chances of success more certainly than frequent changes from one brood to another. Select your breed with care and then stick to it. All the leading breeds have good points, and tlie mat ter of selection Is more a question of individual preference than anything else. In beginning with pure bred stock the best plan for the average farmer to follow Is to purchase a pure bred male of the desired breed and proceed to grade up his herd. There are two principles of breeding that should be kept lu mind In this work. The first Is the old law that ‘ like produces like.” In the main this law holds good, and, other tilings being equal, the offspring will resemble the parents. The second Is the law of “atavism," or the tend ency of the offspring to take after Borne remote ancestor. This is where the'value of the pure bred sire comes tn. His ancestors for generations have been animals of the same type as him self, and lienee there is little -fiance of his progeny differing from tills type td any serious extent. This long con tinued breeding along n certain line gives to the pure bred animal an abil ity to reproduce ids type that tlie grade sire lacks. This ability Is called prepotency. Recause.of his great prepotency a pure bred bull when mated to grade cows lias much more inlluence over tbe characters of ills offspring than tho mothers have. This Is most striking ly shown when a polled hull is mated to horned cows. Nine out of every ten of the calves will usually be polled, it is the same with other characteris tics—the ability to quickly turn corn into high priced beef or to u.;c tbe feed for profitable milk and butter produc tion. Of course if the cows are pure bred also (here Is loss chance of the calves resembling some inferior ancestor on their mother's side, and improvement will he more rapid and certain. The cost of an entire herd of puroTlTCds is very great, (lowercry and profits will come more surely by tlie grading up plan. After this has been carried on for a time, so that the farmer has some exis'rience in breeding anil ear ing for high class stock, a gradual start In pure bred females may be made by buying a cow and calf or a few yearling heifers. As the offspring of these Increase the number of pure breds in tlie herd tlie grades can grad ually be disposed of until an entire pure bred herd finally results. In tlie selection of a sire to begin grading up a herd it is important that be be of the type which it is desired to reproduce In tlie offspring. Tlie most important tilings to look for in a beef bull are constitution, form, quality and thick fleshing. Of these constitution is probably the most Important, as a bull that Is strong in this point will have the ability to sire a largo num ber of rugged, healthy calves. Con stitution is indicated by a deep, wide chest; large “barrel.” giving plenty of room for the digestive organs; good sized nostrils and a large, clear eye. A point that must go with constitution If Hie best results are to be obtained is prepotency. Prepotency means the ability of a sire to reproduce his good |>oints In his offspring. It Is Indicated by a heavy crest and n masculine look ing head. A bull that has a fine, fem inine appearing head will not lie at all certain of producing good calves, even though he Is a good individual hiin- Constitution and prepotency are of FINAL DISCHARGE NOTICE.

Great wli^h all along the back, especially over the loin; good spring of rib. plenty of depth ami short lega Atie! tMjInig' thnt should be looked for. I/ODg legged bulls aro usually narrow aud rnugy. The legs are of little value ns meat, so the shorter they are the better. Quality Is shown by fineness of hair, pliability of hide and not too much coarseness of shoulder, head and bone. An animal with good qual ity will 'furnish a better' grade of meat, and there will be less waste In killing. Thickness of flesh Is one of the most Important point;? to look for. Ry this Is meant not fat, but the nat ural covering of lean meat. Fat can l>e put on during the feeding period, but lean meat cannot. An animat that Is thickly mimclod at the begin ning of tlie feeding period will fur nish a carcass that will be well mar- hied with streaks of fat and lean, while another on the same feed will put most of his fat on in the form of tallow. These same points are the essential opes to look for in (lie selection of a tain or hoar. ' Strong constitution, wide, deep, blocky form, fine quality and thick fleshing are just as impor tant in these animals as in tlie bull. Of course it will be impossible to find an animal that is perfect in all points. If the females in your herd are badly lacking in any particular be sure to select a male that Is ospo- cially strong there. On the other hand, a slight weakness on the part of tlie sire in a place where the fe males are especially strong may be overlooked. An animal that has any very serious faults, however, should not lie considered for a moment. Dairy hulls lack (lie fleshing and compactness that characterize l>oef animals. Low setness mid extra width of back aro not so essential. Constitution, ns shown by a deep chest, wide on the bottom aud a roomy barrel, is Important. A clean head, smooth shoulder, flno limbs and pliable skin show the quality that ts so necessary In a dairy animal. The most Important point Is prepotency. A strong chest, masculine head and large rudimentary teats are aH Indi cations of tills. The liost way to fore cast a dairy hull's prepotency, how ever. is to look up tho Uiilk and butter producing records of his dam and granddams. A bnll out cf a high pro* duclng cow will almost certainly lie- get heifers that will be high ylelders. The most Important points to look for In draff horses, which sre the most profitable kind—to raise on tlie (arm, aro power and endurance. Tow er Is indicated by size, compactness and heavy muscling, especially in the bind quarters. Endurance is shown by a strong constitution and fine qual ity, especially of limbs. Mtrict observance of these points In the selection of a sire of any kind w ill give you an^mimal that will in a few years bring about a great improve ment in your herd. Pedigree should not be neglected entirely in picking out a sire. Its chief value la tn show ing that the animal is pure bred and that his ancestors were of tlie type which you wish to develop In your herd. To determine the latter point, however, requires a longer study of herd books than most farmers hard time for. If you put tbe chief stress upon the Individuality jot the animal and file the pedigree away In a drawer where it can be referred to whenYicc- essary you will not go far Wrong. 5Vh?n you have found an animal of the desired tyi>e do not hesitate too INS U RANGED FIRE A5D LIFE.
