(Prepared by the United States Depart- i merit of Agriculture.) ' , The following definitions have been adopted by the United States depart ment of agriculture for use in the "Better SiresBetter Stock" cam paign: . ' Purebred A purebred animal is one of pure breeding, representing a defi nite, recognized breed and both of whose parents were purebred anlpials of the same breed. To be considered purebred, live stock must be either registered, eligible to registration, or (in the absence of public registry for that class) have such lineage that its pure breeding can be definitely proved. To be of good type and quality the ani mal must be healthy, vigorous and a creditable specimen of Its breed. Thoroughbred The term "thorough bred" applies accurately only to ths breed of running horses eligible to reg istration in the "General Stud Book" of England, the "American Stud Book" or affiliated stud books for thorough bred horses in other countries. ; Standardbred Applied to "horses, this term refers to a distinct breed of American light horses, which includes both trotters and pacers which are eli gible to registration In the "American Trotting Register." Applied to poul try, the term includes all birds bred to conform to the standards of form, color, markings, weight, etc., for. the various breeds under the standard of perfection of the American Poultry as sociation. ScrubA scrub is an animal of mixed or unknown breeding without definite type or markings. Such terms as native, .mongrel, razorback, dung hill, piney woods, cayuse, broncho and mustang are somewhat . synonymous with "scrub," although many of the animals described by these terms have a certain fixity of type even though they present no evidence of systematic Improved breeding. Crossbred This term applies to the progeny of purebred parents of Purebred Herefords. different breeds but of the same spe cies. GradeA grade is the offspring re sulting from mating a purebred with a scrub, or from mating animals not purebred but having close purebred ancestors. The offspring of a pure bred and a grade is also a grade, .but through progressive improvement be comes a high grade. BULKY FEED FOR BROOD SOW Clover Chaff When Scalded and Soaked for Twelve Hours Is Palatable v" and Suitable." In reply to frequent inquiries for a bulky feed for wintering brood sows, it may be said that clover, chaff, such as accumulates on a barn floor, when scalded and soaked for 12 hours, makes a palatable and suitable feed of this kind. It id, desirable to add a little oilmeal or other millfeed to make it "go." Sow will eat a good deal of clover and alfalfa even when fed dry. When they have access to it; sows will also eat a little corn fodder. SYSTEM OF SHEEP FARMING One That Is Continuously Successful Must Not Ignore Either Mut- V ton or Wool. A system of sheep farming that is to be continuously successful can not ignore either wool or mutton. In many cases the two products will be worthy of equal consideration. In others either one may be emphasize 'accord ing to ! the peculiarities of conditions, management, and marketing. : . - $ BARLEY IS GOOD SWINE FEED When Fed With Tankage It Is Effl. oletit and Almost Equal to Corn for Fattening.. Barley is an efilcient feeel for hogs when fed with tankage, and is almost equal to corn in fattening . hogs for market, according. to results obtained In two feeding trials, the second of which has just been completed at the Purdue experiment station in Indiana. Le Boulevard Poissonniere in Old 'Paris. HE boulevards of Paris, which extend for a length of f our kilo ; meters tf and a ; half from -the Madeleine to the Bastille In a semi-circumference, are the rendezvous of the world ; a picturesque crowd, composed of the most heterogeneous types of humanity, promenades cease lessly the wide sidewalks,, where the terraces of innumerable cafes lend an air of good-humored If rather vulgar familiarity to the whole scene. The Paris boulevards may be said to have originated in the deep muddy trenches which were hastily dug around the city In 1536, to repulse the much-dreaded attacks of the Eng lish who, having devastated Picardy, were now threatening the capital, says the Christian Science Monitor. The first trees were planted in 1638, and have been continually replaced since then, although they have not ceased to struggle bravely to live and thrive in spite of the scarcity of light, air, and sun. Entrance to the Boulevards. The starting point of the "boule vards can be located at the Bastille ; before the eighteenth century they be gan at the entrance of the Rue St. Antolne, so that the attention of the stranger who entered' Paris by the Porte St. Antolne was at once at tracted by the looming , mass of the state prison, and by the beautiful resi dence of Beaumarchais, which played a part In the Revolutionary drama. One soon reaches the Boulevard du Temple, today so calm, and essential ly commercial with its numerous baker, butcher, and grocer shops. Once Upon a time, however, and not so very long ago, it was called "the beau tiful boulevard," for it was then the favorite meeting place of courtiers and rich bourgeois of the "Tout Paris," which even then was docile in obey ing the dictates of fashion. Innumer able theaters and 'shows lined both sides of the roadway, giving the boule vard the appearance of a perpetual fair in whlclfa gay, laughing crowd 'paused to listen to the songs of Colle and Piron sung by the' lovely Fan chon la Vellleuse fcnd amused itself with the antics of Nicolet's extraor dinary monkey. After the Place de la Republique has been safely crossed, one saunters up the Boulevard St. Martin, the road way of which is, encased between high sidewalks reached by mounting sev eral steps. It extends tov the Porte tit Martin, erected in 1674 by the municipal corps of Paris to the glory of Louis XIV. At nightfall the Boule vard St. Martin acquires a certain ani mation when the public presses around the doors of the Ambigu Comique,- the Renaissance and the Porte St. Martin theaters. The Pprte St. Martin was built In 90 days by Le molne, at the end of the reign of Louis XVI, to serve as a temporary opera house. ? But the sidewalks suddenly cease to be terraced and slope, gently down ward until they Teach their normal height, and the, noisy Boulevard St. Denis extends between the two monu mental gateways, the beautiful bas reliefs of which remind the passerby of the taking of Limburg and the de feat of the Germans, as well as of the Ipassing of the Rhine and the taking of the provinces by Louis XIV ex ploits of which the "Sun King" was justly proud. It must be remarked that the escutcheon of the Porte St. Denis with its fleur-de-lys Is the1 only royal amblem which was respected by the Revolution of 1848. ' Landmarks Along the Way. The Boulevard Bonne Nouvelle has preserved a number of old-fashioned houses presenting a strong contrast to the modern construction, which has considerably spoiled the charm; of the old boulevards so essentially Parisian. Facing the aggressive stores, which occupy a whole block, one : can still see a picturesque corner distinctly reminiscent of old Paris ; the angle of the dark old Rue de la Lune, where still exists a" famous pastry shop, "A la Renommee de in Brioche," in which for more than a .century, Parisians have eaten .the famous, cake. The Gymnase theatera few steps farther lown, was built In the early part of he last "century and is still one of he most . fashionable theaters of ar!s. - ' 'V. . . - '.Froi; Jhe famous' Carrefour des T : Ecrases, situated at the point where the boulevard crosses at-right angles the Rue and Faubourg Montmartre, the Rue de Richelieu and the Rue Drouot, there extends a sort of neu tral zone the Boulevard Montmartre which one jnight almost define as the vestibule to the Boulevard des Italiens. It was here, in the Passage des Panoramas, that, lnil817, the ex periment of lighting Paris by gas was first attempted.. The Boulevard Mont martre has lost most of its former vogue; many of Its famous cafes, which formed part of the life of the city, no longer exist Brebant has disappeared; the Cafe de Madrid, which played an important part in the political history of the second em pire, and during the war was frequent ed by the most famous "aces" of French aviation such as Fonck and Nungesser when on leave is becom- fing transformed. TheJCafe de Mulhouse has been re placed by the Musee Grevln, of wax work celebrity. The Theater des Varl- J-'etes, with the columns of its old-fash ioned portico, is a souvenir of the past, as well as is the Passage Verdeau of which many people would surely for get the existence were they not forci bly reminded of it when showers oblige them to seek a refuge in that haunt once so fashionable. The Rue de Richelieu marks the beginning of the true boulevard, which privileged region spans the .Place de l'Opera to the Madeleine church. On the crowded . sidewalks, rather ob structed by the terraces of innumer- Jrable cafes, one meets "all kinds and conditions of men" in that most demo cratic of all ' conglomerations and that most banal a Parisian crowd. Another Famed Thoroughfare. . The Boulevard des Italiens was the center of the brilliant, scandalous life of the late" empire and early '30s. There used to assemble at Tortoni's at the Maison d'Or now transformed into a post office at the Cafe de Paris, those French dandies who brought such laborious care , to the imitation of the extravagances of their English-models; at the corner of the Rue Laffltte was sftuated the Cafe Hardig, the meeting place of the agi tators at the fall of the assignats and which is celebrated as having been the first Parisian cafe where (luncheons were served "a la fourchette," that is, where meat was served. , The Cafe Anglais on the opposite side of the boulevard was the most fashionable restaurant of the second empire. It was demolished recently, and, Paris sighed at the disappearance of anoth er of its favorite TiSunts. The Pa vilion de Hanovre, facing the Vaude ville theater, now shelters the shop of a prosperous silversmith; but it is of noble origlrX having formerly be longed to the duke of Richelieu, who had, so runs the legend, built" It with the product of the golden and silver laurels' he obtained 1y hook or by crook during the Hanoverian, war. Hence the nickname which has ever since remained attached to the beau tiful and luxurious building. The Boulevard des Capucines, which starts from the Vaudeville and spans the Place de l'Opera, is always ex tremely animated with its numerous hotels, clubs and shops. It belongs in some sort to history, for it was from the garden of the . Capucines (which has disappeared long since) that the first pistol shot which transformed the riot of 1848 Into a regular revo lution was fired. , Processions- and, corteges of all kinds, both civil and military, peace ful, threatening or triumphant, have through the centuries passed down the boulevards, stamping history into the very footway they followed. But surely , the old avenues never wit nessed a more solemn or symbolical scene , than the parade .of the allied troops, which, on the 14th of July, preceded - by - their glorious tattered banners, marched down the boule vards . toward the Place de la Be publlque. -V; - - , ' Weird . From the Start Visitor So this is the haunted house. How did it get such a repu tation? ?-.-r ': 'V;: Natlve-r-WelL there's been something uncanny about it from the beginning. Even when it was built it didn't exceed the contractor's estimate , PRICES PAID BY MERCHANTS FOR FARM PRODUCTS IN NORTH CAROLINA MARKET8. Asheville.

Western Newspaper Unlom) i " 1 1 LESSON FOR DECEMBER 14 AT THE TRIAL, CRUCIFIXION AND RESURRECTION OF JESUS. LESSON TEXTS John' 18:15-27; l;25-; :1-10; 21: 15-19. GOLDEN TEXT For God so loved the World, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16. :- v - i Since the lessons of the quarter center In the lives of Peter and, John It will be well '"to include In the day's lesson the incidents in their lives from the trial of Jesus to his resurrection. This will en able us to use the committee's alternative lesson, "The Prince of Peace," for a Christmas lesson next Sunday. - ' ' I. Peter Denies the Lord (18:15-18, 25-27). 1. Before the servant maid (vv. 15 18). Peter's first blunder was to at tempt to follow . Jesus at this time. Christ had told him that he could not follow now (13:36). Presumptuous boldness oftentimes places one in an embarrassing position. In such cases compromise or cowardly denial usu ally follows. Wisdom s to our weak nesses should move one to avoid un necessary trials. John, seeing Peter standing at the door, introduced him to the house of the high priest. Here under the taunt of a Jewish maid he openly denied his Lord. 2. Before the servant and officers (v. 25). Peter had not only ventured where It was not necessary, but was warming himself at the enemies' fire. Having quailed before the sarcastic impudence of a servant maid he open ly denied his relationship with the Lord when questioned by the officers and servants at whose fire he was warming himself. To have a clear and Independent testimony, one should be separate from sinners (n Cor. 6 :14-18). 8. Before the kinsman of Malchus (w. 26, 27). This man had seen Peter with Jesus in Gethsemane when Peter In his rashness smote off the ear of Malchus see verse 10). Hearing Pet ar's denial, this servant of the high priest put the question, "Did I not see thee in the gsrrden with him?" When Peter uttered the third denial the cock crewj bringing1 to his ' attention the warning words of Jesus (Mark 14:72). This is an example, of what a disciple of Jesus may do In the hour of great temptation. II. Jesus Commits His Mother to John (19:25-27). Though suffering the Indescribable anguish of the cross he tenderly re membered his grief-stricken mother and charged John to care for her. Mary had other sons who should have cared for her, but they were unbelievers till after Jesus' resurrection. He knew that his mother weuld have better care at the hands of the beloved disciples than at the hands of her own children who did not believe in and love Jesus. Love to Jesus is stronger than human affec tion. III. Peter and John at Jesus' Tomb (20:1-10). When Mary came In breathless haste, announcing the fact of the empty tomb, Peter and John ran to investigate. When John came to the tomb he gazed Into It, but when Peter came he went In. John with holy reverence hesitated to enter, but Peter through his Impul siveness entered at once. The difference does not lie in .the fact that one loves more than the other, but in their differ ent temperaments. One should not expect the same behavior from alL This Investigation was convincing (v. 8). , V ' . ;. ;: . . i IV. Peter's Restoration and Com mission (21 :15-19). ' Peter had thrice denied the Lord, so before he again entered the service he had thrice to confess his Jove for Jesus. In this commission to Peter Is set forth the motive and nature of service which ls Incumbent upon all Christian ministers and teachers. 1. His motive love for Christ. Love Is the supreme qualification for service ,for Christ; It is the very spring from which all activity flows. It Is not learning and eloquence, but love that makes a pastor. (1) "Feed my Iambs. The word for "feed as well as "iambs. signifies that the work here is that of nurturing the babes In Christ. ' (2) "Feed my sheep. The word here means to feed, guide, correct, and lead the maturer class of Christians. , It carries with It - not only the responsi bility of feeding, but correction and' discipline. If this be attempted with out love, failure will Inevitably ensue. (3) "Feed my sheep." Thi s relates to the care of the aged Chrtxt'ans. The word "feed" returns somewhat to the meaning In the first Instant where . he fays, "feed my lambs. so hn t the ministers responsibility to cure for the aged Is equivalent? to that of the young. - .
