WEALTH OF MONARCHS. Czar is Richest of Old World Kings— Britain's- Ruler Poorest. The Westminster Gazette of Lon- don, says: "We have heard something of the diminuation of the Kaiser's private fortune owing to the war. But even with his fifty royal residences and in- terests in all manner of businesses, he has never been the richest monarch in the world. That honor has always belonged to the Czar, who, on his ac- cession, came into the Romanoff vate estate, yielding about ten million dollars a year. Beyond that his 'sal- ary' amounted to another ten million dollars, besides many profitable in- vestments abroad.

One of the biggest factors that make the $10 breeding male so valu- able is the fact that he comes from a source where blood lines have been working in the same direction for some considerable time. The breeder has found out the very greatest pains are required to produce the best re- sults, and in consequence his stock matures right, and as vigor and sta- mina are absolutely necessary to do anything,. he keeps vitality before :him always as the greatest essen- tial. Breeding continuously along these lines, culling always very close- ly-, be is fixing only the best qualities in his flock.
