is bivouacking in the suburbs of Johan
nesburg, and intends to make a victor
ious entry at noonday. Judging fr,a
his dispatch, he must have private in
formation regarding the disposition of
the garrison in the fort as he does not
seem to expect opposition. f
Lord Roberts" cavalry have gone on
beyond Johannesburg. A portion is
understood to be at Zuurfontein. seven
mile north of Johannesburg, and within
twenty miles of Pretoria. Lord Rob
erts, although with a broken bridge at
Vereinging and a -wrecked railway be
hind him, has somehow managed to get
forward sufficient suppiles for his ia-ge
force. As he has been able to do
much, it is considered possible, that he
will be outside of -Pretoria by Friday.
The rapidity cf his advance is thought,
an extraordinary achievement, even by
the grudging Continental ritics. T1k
liocrs, who were expected to fight along
the line of hill known; as the KUp
Riverburg abandoned the eastern range
near Lord Roberts' .advance line," oat
they held their ground on the e ie
right near Van - Wyck's Roest,, when
they met ! General French's turning
movement.. The fight continued all day.

"The Transvaal Government has "open
ed, of isabout to open, 'peace-negotiations;

hope exists of aid." . I
Without doubt, nhe presence of Lord
Roberts with 40.ooo men at Johannes

Germiston is a suburb to the southeast
of Johannesburg,, a railway junction,
and General Roberts mentions it in his
message to the war office, probably, be
cause Elandsfontein station is further
eastward. Additional evidence that the
mines arc intact comes in a message fe-
day, from its Johannesburg represent
ative dated May i8th saying: "All

Lord Roberts dispatch is regarded. z
announcing the virtual occupation iA
Johannesburg.' and apparently the Botrs
have again effected a retreat, as there is
no mention of any prisoners or. rap
tures, except of the rolling stock. There
will be some little anxiety pending the
actual occupation of Johannesburg, as
there arc rumors that the town has be in
mined with the intention of blowing :up
Lord Roberts and his staff on their
entry into that place. J

Judges should not place awards oh

Breeders' make a mistake ; in catering

answer- to a question as "to wheth
er the average farmer should unnertke
to-aise pure-bred animals. Mr. McKtr
row declared that such a farmer who U
breeding 'stock for his own use should
not try to 1 breed ' pure bred animals,
but he should begin with and keep a
pure bred male at the heaid of his herd.
Th' reason for this -is that the average
farmer does not understand the work
5f breeding and is very apt to let ms
pure bred stock hustle for themselves,
just as he does his scrub tock. Under
such conditions success cannoi ie ex
pected and the failare hurts the farmer,
the breed and the neighbors who have
watched'thc experiments. If.' however,
he begin "with: a pure bred male he
steadily and rapidly raises the blood
quality of his herd and at the same
time gains in the experience necessary
to properly care for such animals..
