Prof. Thomas Shaw Bays: Th ex lent to which "Berkahlrea have been diffused in the various countries Into ivhlch they have been Imported Is even more remarkable than the extent to ivhlch they have been Imported, Be fond nil question tho Berkshire Is tnorp widely diffused in America than my other breed of swine. Bcrkshlrea ire found more or less numerously In every state and territory of tho Union. Thoy turn the skim milk of Now Eng land dairies Into most dollclouB pork. In ult the Mississippi bnsln they aid tho farmer In marketing his corn with iddcd profit. In tho sunny south they help the planter to dig his peanuts. And in tho Rocky Mountain valley thoy revel amid alfalfa and pea vine pastures such as can be grown so well nowhero else. England Is no longer distinctly the home of the Berkshire. It 1b only the placo where they origin ated and wore first improved. The scat of Berkshire empire has shlftod from England to America, nnd It Is n kingdom that Is likely to remain until tlmo shall bo no more. There are good reasons for believing that in moro lhan one state In tho Union, thcro will boou be moro pure Berk shires than in all England. And this diffusion, plenteous as it (s now, Is only the advance drops of a shower of increase that will bring with It bene diction to the various states In pro portion to the copiousness with which It falls upon them. Already no fewer than 47,543 animals have been record ed in the records of the American Berkshire Association, nlthough tho said association wns not organized until 1875. At least 5,000 animals nro now being added every year to' tho number on record. This of courso docs notjncludo tho anlmnls recorded In other records on this continent, as for instance tho Canadian. Tho relatlvo increase at tho present tlmo is most rapid In tho states of Toxas, Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee New York. In dlana, Pennsylvania Kentucky, Kan Mis, Iowa, Massachusottfl, Now Jersey. Ohio, Loulalnnn nnd Michigan, and substnntinlly In tho order named. In nearly all of these states they nro icarcd In largo numbers both In tho pure nnd In the grado form, thus evi dencing their proved adoptability to u wide range of conditions very dis similar in churacter. Unlike some of the other useful breeds of swine they ore not bunched In a few of the states, nor nro they hived ns it were In some sections only of theso states. It would not be qulto correct perhaps to Bay that Berkshlrcs thrive equally well In tho semi-tropical south, tho variable center and tho cooler north. But the fact Is very significant that the most rapid ratio of Increaso In Berkshlres today In America Is found In the states of semi-tropical Texas, variable Missouri and cooler Ontario. The Hist Is the land of tho peanut, the second is tho realm of corn and tho third la tho domain of field roots. It has al ready been stated that they aro bred in every stato and territory In tho Union. And from each of theso they aro now on record In the registers of tho American Berkshire Association, with tho Blnglo exception of tho Btnte of Wyoming. And nearly every Btate and territory In tho Union Is repre sented on the official board of the as sociation. It is very questionable if the records of any other swlno breeders' association In tho United States can tell a similar story. In Canada the Berkshire has be come even moro generally diffused than in the United States. He Is the pig of the Dominion. His "descend ants sln tho pure form nro nearly as' numerous as those of alt tho other pure breeds combined, nnd In the graded form they nre much more nu merous. Up to February, 1898, 11,052 Berkshlres had been recorded In Can ada against 11.837 animals of all tho other breeds combined. And Berk shire grades In Canada are much moro numerous relatively than pure Berk shires. Illlnol Poro Fooil rmuuiliilnn I-nr. The Illinois Pure Food Commission has adopted tho following rules apply ing to products of the dairy: All milk offered for sale muBt bo from healthy cowb of clean nnd whole somo character, unadulterated, free from preservative, and must contain not less thasi three per cent of butter fat. Tho use oMuo word "Cream" on con densed milk cans. Is deemed prima faclo evidence of intent to commit fraud. Condensed milk should be mado from milk containing at least tho legal standard of three per cent butter-fat and evaporated to one-third or less of Its original volume. Condensed Bklm-mllk muBt bo plain ly labeled as such. Imitation butter must not be marked nnd Bold as "Creamery" or "Dairy," but each should bo marked plainly with Its own name, but must be branded "Imitation Butter." " Oleomargorlne, butterino and imita tion butter can be manufactured and sold under their appropriate nameB and color when appropriately labeled. Each tub, package or parcel shall have distinctly and durably painted, stamped or marked thereon the true und appropriate name of such sub Btance In ordinary bold-faced capital letters, not less than flvo lines pica. "Whole milk" cheeso, commonly miscalled "full cream" cheese, inut contain at least forty-eight per cent of fat to total solids. Butter shall contain nt least 80 per cent of fat. "Coffee Cr"eam" shall contain nt least 15 per cent of fat, nnd "whipping cream" at least 22 per cent.

W GRANDPA KNEW THE RULES, f "Grandpa Is not bo well today," an iwercd the lively young lady to tho Ucxt-door neighbor who had mado kindly Inquiry. "Walt till I run over. I don't want him to hear us." "Oh. It was something awful, posi tively awful," as oho sat down on tho top step und accepted a fan. "Tho doctor said that wo must get him out, to as to glvo him air and exercise. After three days' ploadtng I induced him to go to the baseball with me. He groaned nnd growled all tho way, though I had a cushion for him to sit on and took It to the grand stand and sat him dovn In tho shade and In a breeze. Grandpa doesn't know a brt moro about baseball than I do nbout tho Chinese question. Not a bit He was Just dozing off when tho crowd began to yell. Then ho sat up and glared. " 'Out,' ho whooped, when ono of tho opposition battors knocked the ball over tho fence. '"Beg pardon, air,' said tho gentlo man In tho next soat, 'but that Is not out under tho rules.' "Grandpa can scarcely walk a block, but ho wnnted to throw that man out of tho grandstand. In tho midst of It ho stopped his tlrado to Bhout: ' !Nothcr man out That seeker caught It on tho first bound.' Tho gentleman wnnted to explain, but grandpa wanted to bet $1,000 that he knew moro nbout town ball and four-cornered old cat than nuy man on the grounds. And do you know ho took off his coat and his collar and his necktlo nnd rolled up his sleeovs and offered the umpire money to come whero wo were, and called It right out that ho could whip tho wholo park full of wildcats and called tho gentleman names I never hoard of and dared him to take It up. You'vo heard that grandpa used to bo a lake captain nud also u deacon In tho church. He's writing to tho umpire and tho president of tho league now and ho wants to attend every game and I wouldn't go for the whole city of Detroit." I low Ho Felt AlMiat II. From tho Washington Star: "Of course," remarked tho proud father of six children, "thcro Is nothing in all the world that makes a man so sin cerely happy as to have around him a whole houseful of roystering children, every ono of them tickled plumb to death when he comes homo nt night, nnd every one of them wanting to clmb nil over him at onco and the same time.

Bald tho father, rais ing his eyebrows, after the manner of uoino people expressing surprise or resentment or nomo other emotion. "'Yes, ho did,' repeated tho fond mother. " 'And what did you say to that?" be Inquired, with n half smile. " 'What could I say?' she asked, the anger showing In her face. "'Really, I don't know, my dear,' hesitated her .husband, 'but I thought possibly you might have said you didn't have any gun.'

O'Hare nearly fell off his stool with surprise, but said, na bo sized up th visitors. "Wo start now," and, slam ming the door of tho elevator, h pulled over the lever and the car shot upward with twice Its usual speod. In fact, so quickly did tho car ascend that tho brldo fell to the floor and. clasping the knees of hor husband, cried loudly: "I ain't ready yot! t ain't ready!"
