Principal SOC an L1 60c Like the Law of Advertising. [ The following interesting story about President Garfield is told in the Amer- ican Magazine: . James R. Garfield of Cleveland, son ‘ or the late President Garfield. told one of the editors of the American Magaq zine the following story about travel. ing in 1878 as a boy with his father. who was campaigning. One night aft- er a speech in Michigan young Garfieldl said to his father: “Why do you re- peat so much? Do you know that you said the same things several times to- night? Do you know that you said the same things tonight that you said thisl afternoon in Detroit?" General Car- field made this reply: “You happen to he an eSpecially interested party and notice these repetitions. Others do not. I repeat the same statements deliber- ater in order that peOple may finally get them. Anything that I want anl audience to get and remember I repeat several times. in somewhat diflerentI form perhaps. This practice I have: developed out of my experience. which. has shown me that people’s attention' is distracted in various ways and that a first or a second statement may not: really get to them. You must insist on! an idea or fact it you want to get any- where with it.” In Stow's Annals is an account of an earthquake which shook down many ; churches and houses while the river? Thames “was dryed uppe. that all Lon- don might walke over the same dry shod." This was in the year 1158. In 1591 came an amazing ebb tide, when the river was again so low that a man might ride over .t on horseback at Lon- don bridge. in 1687 a tremendous gale blew for thirty-six hours. The great storm blew straight down the valley of the Thames and kept the water back, so that the bed was dry. On Sept. 14, 1716. the same thing happened again, and. according to the Weekly Packet, a paper of that date, people crossed the river afoot both below and above the bridge. While the sands lay so clear to view that a silver tankard, a silver batted sword. a gold ring. a guinea and other long lost articles of value were picked up. Seven.

Few men willingly take losses know. ingly. It is safe to say ninety-nine losses out of a hundred are made through lack of knowledge, writes a correspondent of the American Agricul- turist. This is why a record should be made and kept of every cow in the dairy, especially the new cows pur- chased and heifers coming into profit. The fine looking cow that will sell well and usually selected as the best often fails when put to the test by the use at the Babcock tester and the scales. A Pennsylvania dairyman who was keeping a herd of grade Guernsey cows. selling milk on a butter int testhhow- ed In; the record of his herd. Taking me down the stable. he said: “There’s a cow 1 have had a dozen chances to sell for $75. Now look at this record. She has given less than 4.500 pounds of milk, testing 4.2 per cent butter fat. beating her board bill only $9.73. The Grover gets her. But that’s not all. This cow next to her I offered to sell for $75 and no one would have her. She has given 6,842. pounds of mill; testing 5.3 per cent. making a profit of $78.14. She is worth $500.” The records for one year had proved to this man that nearly half of his cows were :osing him money and that he should only retain about one-third of the herd. In keeping a record he had learned that some cows consumed more feed than others, but at the same time did not put on flesh, but gave more milk, so he inquired: “Tell me, how mueh’Should 1 feed a cow? What can be used as a guide in feeding'. ' The live weight of a cow is a good index as to whether she is being fed the proper amount. It all depends on the cow. Professor C. II. Eekles of the Missouri Agricultural college says. “There can he no fixed rule for food- ing." 'l‘o feed economically it will not do to feed all cows the same quantity of grain, regardless of whether they give one gallon or few .3. lions of mill: :1 day. A cow in the middle of her lac. tntion period that puts on weight is he: ing fed more than she needs and will give just as much Illilk it she is fed less. A cow that is losing): weight is not getting sutlicient feed. and if the ration is not increased the milk production iwill decrease to correspond with the 1 food consumed. KEEP DAIRY RECORDS. Good feeding is the key to the pro- duction made by :1 dairy herd. Only by keeping :1 close watch on the record of the milk production in connection with the increase or decrease in feed that is given a cow can the proper amount of feed be ‘found. Economy of production must al- ways be considered with the pro- duction of the cow. In this the Guernsey has never been beaten. says an admirer of the breed. Her medium size. good conformation, quiet disposition and her capacity as a feeder enable her to produce milk at the lowest cost for food consumed. This has been proved in several competitive trials. From the standpoint of feed consumed the Guernsey breed has the lurgist Regularity of More Importance Than Number of Times They Are Fed. We consider it better to feed silage twice a day rather than once. If roots form at least a half of the succulence. then feed silage once a day; but if twentyofive to thirty pounds of silage are used per animal divide into two feeds. says Iâ€"Ioard’s Dairyman. When no roots are fed it is customary to feed three pounds of silag per hundred pounds live weight. percentage of profitable and the smallest percentage of unprofitable cows 0! any of the breeds. The cows have good, well shaped ud- ders. teats of good size and are easy to milk. The Guernsey pic- tured is a. pure bred. r The number of times a day an ani- mal should be fed per day for best re- sults. is by no means a settled ques- tion. Splendid results are obtained by feeding silage. or roots. and grain morning and night. and hay at noon. Equally good results are obtained by feeding grain three or four times a day, and silage or roots three times, and hay two or three times. A very good way is to feed silage night and 'morning. and roots at noon. Twice a [day for grain is ample. unless it is de- sirable to feed the cows to their full capacities. then three or four times is none too often. Hay fed twice a day is sufficient and once a day does very well. Regularity in feed counts for more than the number of times the an- limal is fed daily. A Word For the Ayrshire.

The centipede is popularly supposed to carry a sting on each foot. but I have several times handled one after its head was removed without the claws producing any result. It is the first pair of claws only that are ven- omous, being hollow and provided with poison bags like a snake’s fang. The largest I ever saw was eleven inches in length, a grewsome creature. A bite from one of this size would most likely have been fatal to a man in weak health. The tarantula. though his pow- ers of ofiense are nothing like those of the scorpion or centipede, is, how- ever. a more unpopular character than either. The horror of thes large spi. ders entertained by many people is curious and unaccountable.

Illusions. An illusion is something we‘believe in so much that We prefer it to reality. Happiness is the ability to create and maintain one’s illusions on a paying basis. Every illusion should be properly supported. Some people are so mean that when an illusion rings their bell and asks for board and lodging they slam the door in its face. It is better to maintain one or two illusions in good style. giving them constant care and nourishment, than it is to have so many that you have to flit too often from one to another. Without illusions we should lay so much stress on reality that life would net‘ be worth living. Reality itself is unprofitable, because it is the only one that pays no return on the investment.

The origin of the rule for pedestrians to keep to the right dates back to a period when such things as roads were t unknown. Before the road as we know i it existed progress from place to place was accomplished by means of tracks or paths. used in common by mounted and foot wayfarers. As in early days every traveler carried his life in his hands and saw in every approaching stranger a potential enemy, so the un- armed man either retreated from the path or was beaten from it by an ad- vancing stranger. if the latter were armed. When two armed men met. with shield on left arm and sword in right hand, they of necessity passed each other on the right. so as to bring shield to shield, thus completely shel- tered. but: with the sword arm ready to strike if neededâ€"London Globe. Origin of “Watered Stock.” The expression “watered stock.” which describes so well the expansion of the stock of a company beyond the value of the property. originated, it is said. in connection with Daniel Drew, who was once the wealthiest and most unique manipulator in Wall street. Drew had been a drover in his younger days. and it was said of him that beâ€" fore selling his cattle in the market he would first give them large quantities of salt to make them thirsty and then provide them with all the water they could drink. In this way their weight was greatly increased. and the pur- chaser was buying “watered stock.” Bobby’s Fruitless Search.
