Nathaniel Colgan, member of the Royal Irish Academy says the earliest record of the wearing “o’ the green" contained in the diary of Thomas inoly. who wrote in 1687: “17th day of March yearly is St. Patrick, an lmmoveable feast. when the Irish of all stations and conditions wear cros- ses in their hats, some of pins, some of green ribbon. and the vulgar super- stitiously wear shammgues, three- leaved grass which they likewise eat (they say to cause a sweet breath)." Ind cattle had been plunged. The troublous times continued and the shamrock is mentioned as an article of food again and again. Fynes Mor- rison in 1598 writes that the herb is am: being “snatched out of the ditches for food." Little Billy Jacobs, 28 months old. is probably the youngest star in the world. This youngster is a natural comedian. Ford Sterling often al- lowed him to play opposite him in comedies. Few who put a sprig of shamrock In their buttonhole on the seventeenth of March realize that these little green leaves more than once kept the fish from death in dire famine times. In 1596 the poet Spencer declares that the war has brought the miserable Inhabitants of Munster to a point where they “flock to a plot of water- cresses or shamrocks as to a feast.” In his “View of Ireland" he describes this as the depth of ruin to which p land formerly having abundant corn mL- There is no doubt that poultry houses built of concrete would be ex- Oellent winter quarters. but we should prefer having the inside of the house either lathed and plastered or double walled. Houses built entirely of lum- her and double walled, with heavy lining paper between the walls, can be made just as comfortable, and are better liked by the majority of poni- tl'ymen, than houses built of any other material. . Origin of Shamrock Wearing in Honor St. Patrlck t is curious what hobbies some ac- t have. That of Mr. H. B. Irving, for instance. is criminology, and one finds him at every notable criminal prosecution.

He never goes it blind in as choice of bulls. hand, the constructive breeders rely mainly on tested sires, mostly with quite a bit of age. Indeed, such breeders have been known to buy en- tire herds, which they did not want, merely to acquire the old bulls at their heads. A §horthorn bull that has proved satisfactory should be kept in service until death .or impotence ands his usefulness. When fully ma- tured, hulls often get hard to do with, ma too often for this reason alone are bundled into the cars and ship- ped to the shambles. A big loss is mstalned each year by such unneces- sary and uncalled for sacrifices. The wise breeder goes mighty slow with e use of any untried calf, until he glows what the youngster can do. New bulls must be introduced into every herd, but there is never any occasion to make the change sudden- ly, dropping one outright and using another to all the breeding females. A very little ingenuity will enable the breeder to discover what the chosen one is going to do. It doesn’t make much difference in what herd a bull succeeds. Every good bull should be wowed to live out his allotted span 02 life begetting calves after his kind.
