Ryan bought a Jersey bull for $11,500, bull’s Stockwell, bred on the Island of Jersey, sired by Oxford Lad out of Flymg Fox. The circular of the sale describes this bull as having a “most aristocratic carriage.” "Be- sides being of solid color, Stock- well has a perfect black tongue and tail, which are regarded as the tw signs of high breeding among Jer- name is Sey cows and bulls. At the sale it was given out that this fs the highest price ever paid for a bull. This was promptly corrected by cable from London. A British earl claims the record with a purchase at $35,000. In the Argen- tine Republic a Short Horn bul! was sold for $15,000, thus proving that Mr. Ryan’s ts not the most costly bull In the world. The price, however, which Mr. Ryan paid for one bull is equiva- lent to eighteen years’ wages of a motorman or conductor employed by his traction merger. It ts more than the value of the paper and printing of the $108,000,000 additional bonds and stocks Issued at the time of the Interborough-Metropolitan merger. As this is all they cost, with the exception of the lawyers’ fees and. the trifling corporation tax, Mr. Ryan’s bull is thus more intrinsically valuable than these stocks and The reason a Jersey bull fs worth so much money Is because its Progeny will produce more butter and cream than ordinary cows for the $ame amount of feed. At the same sale five young cows, daughters of Stockwell, were sold for more than two thousand dollars apiece. An @rdinary fresh cow can be bought at the North River stockyards for fifty dollars any time and a dry cow for half that. Thus a cow sired by This value is both in the richness ‘and quality of the milk and in Its quantity. An ordinary cow with od care and feeding will give thousand quarts of milk a "year, for which the farmer gets two gents a quart, or $60, or about what Der feed costs, giving the farmer the manure pile for his labor and “profit. Ten quarts of ordinary milk y gne pound of butter, sells wholesale for about the = i price as the farmer would get for the milk, the farmer’s payment for his butter-making being the skimmed milk to feed his calves and pigs. » It is quite apparent that whoever Is getting rich out of milk and butter it is not the farmer. _ A-fine Jersey cow such as Mr. Ryan’s bull should produce gives ‘Bhout three times as much milk a year as a scrub cow, and that milk ‘will contain a higher percentage of butter fat, so that the cream from six or seven quarts of this milk will make a pound of butter. A well-bred Jersey does not eat much more than an ordinary cow, and while it has to be kept clean and well cared for to reach its great production, as 2 Unfortunately, Mr. Ryan's stock farm is in Virginia, some five fundred miles from New York, far away from the milk trains whic! supply the people here.’ The benefits from the increased cream an butter production will go to the people of Virginia, where Mr. Ryas ‘pends the nickels of the people of New York. t 8 series of big milk farms In Rockland and Orange counties and be con fant to deliver pure milk In New York City for five cents a quart, whict would still give a big profit.

Then he proceeded to make himself master of the vast tract of Africa known as the Soudan The Soudan (or Black Country) 1s a rich province, 2,000,000 square | miles 19 area, with @ population of about 15,000,000, and lying just south jot the Sahara Desert. It came gradually under Egyptian rule during the learller three-quarters of the nineteenth century. England, having a pro ‘tectorate over Egypt, thus made herself more or less responsible for the Soudan’s welfare. A great British general, Gordon by name, was sent, in 1874, as Governor of the provi He found the oppression, graft and all sorts of abuses, The slave trade flourished ut checked, Jail and torture were the very lightest punishments for such poor farmers and shop-keepers as could not meet their rulers’ extortion- ate demands. fublic money was shamelessly misused. The poor were treated like dogs, Gordon made his headquarters at the city of Khar toum, at the junction of the White and Blue Nile, where he at once re formed all these abuses and made the Soudan a peaceful, contented, pros perous country. Then he returned to civilization. ] Scarcely was bis back turned when everything went back to {ts former wretched state. In the midst of the resulting chaos El Mahdi began his rebellion. The wild desert tribes flocked So did the scum of all Exypt nnn to his standard El Mahdi! and 3 and Turkey. Soon he was at the head of a vast The “Holy War’ horde of fanatics and had declared a “Holy War" : on all who were not Moslems. He drove out and massacred various Egyptian garrisons. A strong Egyptian and English army under Hicks Pasha was sent to crush him. E) Mahdi killed Hicks and annihilated his army, Then England advised Egypt to withdraw all troops from the Southern Soudan, and Gordon was sent out to arrange this withdrawal. He had barely reached Khartoum when the Mahdist army hemmed him tn. Gordon, with his handful of loyal fellowers, defended the city for a whole year. But in January, 1885, ‘the gates were opened by treachery, the Mahdist fanatics poured in and Gordon and every man of his garrison were murdered. ‘The man to whom, at last, the task of vengeance was intrusted was a giant, six feet four inches in height, lean, wiry, with brick-red face, cold gray eyes and the aspect of a hawk. He was Horatio Herbert Kitchener. He was born in County Kerry, Ireland, in 1850, and had already won his spurs as a military commander. Since 1882 he had been on service in Egypt and knew that mystic country and people as few foreigners can. Litde by lttle Kitchener made his plans. Like Von Moltke, he “fought by the book of arithmetic.” He had no Idea o: making furious, tladvised dasfes {nto a hostile country, only to be ambushed and cut to pleces as Hicks and his army had been. To the fanatical zeal of the Mahdists he opposed the cool, deliberate mathematical strategy of the born tactician. The map and the knowledge of established manoevres served as his weapons rather than the sword. Campaign after campaign was fought, the cool, calculating, gigantic Irishman eve where scoring lagainst the wild ardor of the tribesmen So successful wi he that in 1892 he was appointed Sirdar (Commander) of the Egyptian forces, Now began tn earnest his work of avenging Gordon. In 1896 he advanced on Dongola, in the Boudan, the cradle of Mahdism, and captured It El Mahdi, in spite of his claims to !mmortality, had died. .His forces now came under the command of another so-called Prophet known as the Khalifa (Successor.) The Khalifa massed his hordes for one last, maistty, effort of supremacy against the quiet, methodics: giant who was #o“ruth- lessly cutting off the various branches of Mahdist power. In April, 1895, Kitchener and the Khalifa met in battle at Atbara, in the Soudan, and the Mahdists were routed. Months of desultory warfare followed, culminating tn the historic battle of Omdurman, Sept 18! Here, as perhaps never before, the milita shown. The Battle riority of Method over mere Valor w The Mahdists fought like madmen. It was part of [ey cee their creed that he who dies fighting for Mobam- medanism is certain of high honor in Paradise Therefore no man of them sought to avold death All they asked was to kill before being killed. Such men make dangerous opponents. It was due to this recklessness of life that they had so long held supreme sway in the Soudan. But now at Omdurman they encountered a quality that outweighed mere ferocity. The Khalifa was put to flight, his forces were scattered and demolished. The power of Mahdism was utterly destroyed. ‘The victor was made a Baron and England's Parliament voted him $150,000, His next exploit occurred two years later, when he went to South Africa as Lord Roberts's chief of staff in the Boer War. This great confiict will be more fully treated in a later article, Roberts left Kitch- ener in supreme comnmnd. By applying bis old-time rule of mathematical tacticn the Khalifa’s conqueror quickly brought the Boers to terms. For this he was made @ Viscount and received another $150,000. In a few years he was sent to Inila as Commander-in-Chief of Great Britain's forces there. Still in bis prime, he ranks, perhaps, as England's greatest living military leader.
