I). JKK1.AN1) 4 CO. PIBLIHHEKH. Perhaps no school book ever published in America has en joyed such a phenomenal suc cess as Barnes’ brief History of the United States. First pub lished in 1870, its clear, logical and systematic arrangement, its concise presentation of the sali ent facts in the history of the country, its charming style, so different from the dull, prosaic chroicles then in use throughout the United States, attracted the attention of educators every where, and it at once became a general favorite in the school room. Year by year, since that time, the demand for it has con tinued to increase, to such ex tent, that it may be safely said that more copies of it are sold annually than of any three books of its class now before the pub lic. It may be said moreover, that it is the only school history which is truly national, for it is used in every state in the Union. .......... ------------- Talking with C. A. Wallace yesterday, who is an importer and breeder of Holstein stock, we were more than ever convinc ed that his is “the right idea.” Last week W. W. Spaulding of Portland slaughtered five head of half-grade Holstein steers tak- yn fresh from pasture on J. B. Knapp’s farm. The steers were raised on grass alone never hav ing been fed a mouthful of grain and were as good as any stall- fed beef ever killed. Two of the steers, 3-year-olds weighed, live weight, 297(1 pounds, 2 2-yr-olds, 2790 pounds, and a 20-months- old steer, 1200 pounds. The net weight of the three largest, is 2400 pounds and of the five, 3790 pounds, nearly 55 per cent, of the live weight of the cattle. These cattle are an example of enhanced profits from breeding good common cows to a pure bred bull of superior stock in preference to the too common practice of using scrub bulls for that purpose. As it is, in this instance, these Holstein steers brought their owner at least $12 more per head than they could have been sold for had they been from scrub stock. miscellaneous .
