the profits of his calling are of course
his ultimate reward and his means of

the hope of profit is the thorough love

is doubtless one great secret of the mar

all varieties of domesticated animals;
but there is another side to the question.
The practical man wants to know more

must come to weights and measures,
the cheese press, and the smell of the
shambles, and, waving the ornamental,
examine the strictly unitarian side of
the question. Enthusiasm, one of the
most powerful of the forces which pro-
pei the work of improvement, is cause
of misleading exaggeration in the tales
told when breeder joins breeder in re-
calling the pleasures and the successes
of pursuit in which both are so deeply
interested. For historical purposes, and
for lasting standards whereby we may
measure the achievements of successive
periods by the achievements ut the out
set of any breed, we want full, accu-
rate statistics. tables of increase from
birth to butcher, tables of the quanti-
ties and variations of dairy produce,
and a hundred other particulars for
precise data, SO that the degree of use

breed, tribe, or family, or single an

ideal. He once said: Il have only

wind instruments. and now that | do
understand them l must leave the
world" He composed so much that one
would think he wrote quickly. but such
was not the case When an idea Oc-
Cured to him he would note it down in
little book that he always carried with
him, and afterward he would work it
over with the greatest care. He felt his
genius was gift from God which he
must use for the good of others. "God
has given me talent" he said, land l
thank Him for it. think l have done
nv duty and have been of use in my
generation" In writing for the piano
forte he paid great attention to
the melody, which renders his works
equally interesting to young and old.
They are always fresh and cheerful,
and are often founded on some little
romance or incident. Haydn did so
much for musical composition. es-
pecially the symphony, and was SO
genial and kind to his fellow musicians,
and so fond of children, that in his
later years he was always called Papa

There are two mistaken ideas about

Zone is that they are going out of use,
and the other that they explode. In.
stead of their going out of use, just the
contrary is the fact. for more are used
now than ever before. Why is this:
Because of improved cutting machinery
that requires the aid of grindstoncs te
keep it in perfect condition. As fol
their exploding, as you read about
every once in a while, that's all NON
sense. They do not explode. But
they do break, scattering themselves
about some and hurting people But
this is due to their being mounted
wrongly. not to anything of an explo-
sive nature about them"
Where do most of the grindstones
come from?" was asked.
From France and Germany chiefly.
Some come from England and some
from the western part of this country
They are found in Ohio, but not at all
in the East. The Ohio stones are good
for rough grinding. but the French and
German ones are the best, because they
