Li Hung Chang died November 6. His death removes a distinguished fig ure among the statesmen of the world. John Russell Young, the intimate friend of General Grant, wrote of the distinguished Chinaman in this wise: "As to the estimate of him by General Grant, that as a statesman he was worthy to rank with Beaconfield, Gam betta and Bismarck, it will be remem bered that General Grant was not given to extravagant opinions of men, and that he had seen Li upon terms of extreme intimacy. It is difficult to find a standard of comparisons. Behind western statesmen were established civilizations, the forces of advanced empires. They did hot create, but car ried out what was begun. Bismarck was the successor of Frederick tho Great, Gambetta of Mirabeau, while Lord Beaconsfield could only have found his ideal in the conquering soul of Chatham. Li Hung Chang was alone with his problem. History gave him no precedent. The outside world had no sympathy for him. The west ern nations looked upon China with carniverous eyes. He accepted the ap palling duties before him. He re jected nothing. He had breadth, depth, omniscience. He meant that China should grow, broaden, rise. He worked for the Chinese people with an intelli gence and courage that must forever rank him as one of the world's fore most men of his age." Battle of the Breeds, The battle of the breeds is over. For six menths it has raged. Day after day the 50 combatants have stood steadfast, chewing their cuds, switch ing their tails, giving their milk. The churns have churned, the testers have tested, the weighers have weighed, the checkers have checked and Supt. Ed ward Van Alstyne has seen that all went well and that the contest was fair. It closed this week. Its real end came last night. The Guernseys won on profits on butter fat and the Holsteins won on profits on solids. The official figures will be announced in a few days. The result -was known last night by the officials. Ten breeds of cows were represented, each by five champions. Tho breeds wore Guern seys, Holsteins, Jerseys, Ayrshiree, Red Polls, Brown Swiss, French-Canadians, Shorthorns, Poll Jerseys and Dutch Belted. The fivo from each breed wore entered by expert breeders with tho approval of their respective breed as sociations and tho battle began last May. All that each cow ato, all that each cow gave, was noted carefully, measured to the last ounco and a rec ord kept. The result shows that tho Holsteins gave a profit of $258 on solids and $205 on butter fats. Tho Guernseys gave a profit of $225 on butter fats and $205 on solids. Hero is the standing of winners with the approximate profit on butter fats for tho months of the contest: PROFITS ON B'UIxjiJR FATS. 1. Guernseys $225 2. Jerseys 220 3. Ayrshires 213 4.

The standing of winners on the profits or solids Is as follows, the to tals being approximate, In lieu of the official figures: PROFITS ON SOLIDS. 1. Holsteins $258 00 2. Ayrshires 235 00 3.

Dutch Belts , 146 00 In tho foregoing the contest between the Red Polls and the Jerseys Is very close and .the official verification may change their relative positions. Tho profit is net profit. It was ob tained after deducting the cost of feed for the season of the competition. The table of the coBt of feed for each fivo cows is very interesting. The official table for the last two weeks is not verified.- Here is the official table up to October 15 and there will be little if any change in the order: COST OF FEED. 1. Holsteins $149 85 2. Shorthorns 148 54 3. Brown Swiss 135 77 4. Ayrshires 128 73 5. Red Polls 126 84 6. Jerseys 12G 73 7. Guernseys 126 1 j 8. Dutch Belts 120 58 9. French-Canadians 104 33 10. Poll Jerseys 100 39 Tho breeders throughout the civil ized world have watched the contest closely. Thousands of cattle experts have visited the Model Dairy Barn and noted the progress of the battle. The keenest of the authorities have given their respective breed-managers tho benefit of their advice and exper ience. Up'to October 15 the Holsteins gave 36,289 pounds, or over 17,000 quarts of milk and gave 1,377 pounds of butter. Up to October 15 the Guernseys gave 25,435 pounds or about 12,000 quarts of milk and 1,364 pounds of butter. The Guernseys" gave 5,000 quarts of milk less than the Holsteins and gave only 13 pounds of butter less than the Hol steins. As the official figures appear there will be endless comparisons and probably long discussions in the dairy and breeding papers. Buffalo Express. ACENTS MAKE MONEY HAiUM UR RELIABLE LA MI'S.
