period, history apeaks of Improved
Durham stock as existing no.ir tho

mid northwestern Kurope. At that
time, tho Durhams, or the eattlo that

It is tho " otudloy Hull," born In I7.'(7,
and from him descended probably the
K!st stock that Im.s heri'toforo exi.sted,
or that now exist. Ho wuh of tho
Jllllbank stock, wlio obtained coiinIiI
crablo colebrlty as u breeder in those
dnyp. From 1718 to 1780, many omi
dent breeders are mentioned In cuttle
history, and rapid advancement was
made. Tho next iniMt noted hull in
tho cni'l'inl progro's through tho
eighteenth century is James Hrown's
rod hull, about 17IW or 1770. Ten years

tolerably correct Idea of tihorthorn.s.
Previous to 1770, when tho Ceilings
Hoomed to engross almost the entire
class or blue bloods, tho .Shorthorns
wore (spoken of as tho rows Iteiug largo
lu slo, strong milkers, and superior
feeders. Hut tho rollings seemed to
Imvo bred principally for form, early
maturity, and llnene.-s of meat, and
greater credit Is given these breeders
than to any others down to tho present
time. It Isusierted that they were tho
real and chief imprnveni of tho .Short
Iwrn race, and its merit ami glory, as
well us Its distinguished hitery, date
from them. Tills was ninety-eight
years ago, so Mutt for iilMiitu century
their distinct and peerless excellence
bus been iintvursally acknowledged.

claimed to ho thoroughbred, have to

and to those breeders. Tho reader can

miIWmI also Greek sheep. Their wool
was of exceeding tlneuoss, and they
woro protected by coverlims of .kins,
and woro also carefully IioummI, and
often coiiiIhmI, and Utthed with oil and

Columella, tho eminent agricultural
writer of tho Honmiis, who lived in the
second century before the Christian
era, relates (Do Ho Hustloa, I. vil., e. -)
that his paternal uncle, M. Columella,
"a man of nro genius and an Illustri

was thus Jiupitrtoil to tho tlno-lleecod

That this improvement commeneeu in

in Ids account of tho geography or that

Tho following letter, written by a
prominent milling firm in Indiana to a

or Agrieulturo of that .State, is being
widely publMicd,and Is creating much

Hour. MiToiini.L, Ksij.:
Dear Hlr: Wo have been looking
through our bolting cloth, and making
some calculations as to damage done
by wire to wheat, since wo began on
new crop last July. Our estimate will
run up to about $800. Although wo
have some live cleaners through which
tho wheat passes, yet you would
scarcely bellovo tho amount of wire
that goos to (ho stone and from tho
Htono to tho bolt. Tho larger plecej
pass off into the bran (and it scorns to
mo that it will be a little hard for stock
to digest). The smaller pieces puss out
as middlings into (ho purifiers, cutting
tho cloth as they go, until thoy aro re
turned to tho stone again for regrlnd
lug; then, after grinding, It goes to tho
middlings chest to perform Its work of
perforation ngaln, until tho larger por
tion, after having dono its work on tho
cloth, works olf in tho ship stuff as
feed. Our receipts or wheat this year
from tho portions of country whoro
wire-binders uro being used have been
comparatively small, and yet tho dam
age Is too great it burden to be borne,
with tho close competition wo Imvo
and tho small margins wo aro running
on. Knowing the prominent place you
occupy among the loading nirmors, wo
have been thus minute In describing
tho results or the wire In our milling,
thinking by some Might Improvement
either in the machine for cutting nnd
binding or In taking tho wiro out at
time of thronhlng, theso results may
Iw obviated, (lltwon county for years
has occupied an enviable reputation as
one or tho best counties for wheat In
the Western fall-wheat district. This
reputation has been well-earned by tho
energy and enterprise or tho farmers,
and wu rejoice In every Increased fa
cility that can Ik) given for the .saving
or labor and development or tho agri
cultural Interests or our country. Tho
truth is, milling and farming go hand
in hand, and anything that militates
against one Injures the other.
You will perhaps have seen that tills

Wallace's Monthly,
What Is "Thoroughbred"?
In reply to a question ns to tho defi
nition of the term "thoroughbred,"
tho editor of Wallace's Monthly makes
tho following answer:
" Webster defines this word its ' bred
from tho best blood,' which fails to
convoy Its practical and technical
meaning. No breed or horocs Is styled
thoroughbred except one particular
breed or trlbo that has been bred for
generations for running purposes.
Tho recorded performances nnd blood
of this breed havo been preserved for
about two hundred years, nnd to ho
considered thoroughbred a bono must
tmco through all his lines to animals so
recorded. The Kngllsh rule Is that ho
must trace through nil his lines to ani
mals of Kastorn blood, hut In Mils
country an animal that can trace for
six generations, without any admix
ture, Is ranked as thoroughbred. For
a given animal to bo thoroughbred, his
two parents, his four grandparents, his
oighlgrcat-grandparonts, &c, must nil
bo thoroughbred. Any ndmlxlure, or
any single cross, of outside blood, de
stroys tho claim to bo thoroughbred.
Kxcopt Mioso do&condod directly from
Imported English xaco-horscs on all
sides, thoro thoro nro very fow strictly
thoroughbred horsos lu this country.
Some or our best raco-horscs aro very
far short of being thoroughbred. Tho
term is applied in tho mime sonee to
other domestic animals, as Shorthorns,
Dovons, Jerseys, c. Each brcod
must bo kept pure. Tho produco of a
thoroughbred Shorthorn cow to n thor
oughbred Devon bull Is not thorough
bred. It Is a cross between tho two,
and cannot bo admitted to tho.tacords
of olthor."
