A FAMOUS NAN.

Pasteur. like Byron, might tru-
ly say HE awoke one morning
and found himself famous" His
discovery of an antidote to the
poison Of hydrophobia will cause
his name to go sounding down
the ages, not only as the greatest
chemist of his time, but as a ben
efactor Of mankind, by having
contributed an original thought
or fact-to their happiness. Man
at best is dependent being, and
were we to live for ourselves
alone we would retrograde 80
rapidly that in the space Of fifty
years our grand civilization
would be numbered with the
things that were.
Bearing this we'll in mind, THE

possible-nay, true-that we can

sisted by Cadet Winram, Of the hop COM
mittee. The other members of the COM
mittee, all Of whom wore side arms, were
Cadets Billings, Dodd, Edgar, Fonst, Girls
void, Kress, ard Witherspoon. The pro-
gramme consisted Of twenty-four dances, In
which the participants were engaged until
about $50 o'clock this morning.

The Best Breeds of Cattle.

Chicago Tribune.
Those who still retain the idea that animals
can be bred to excel in all respects do not sue
coed. Cattle, horses. sheep and fowls now
bred to excel in certain lines The hog alone is
bred for one specific purpose-to make fat and
flesh In cattle, milk, early maturity and an
aptitude to lay on flesh do not go together, and
never did, except one at the expense of the
other. The racing horse of to-day has
neither weight nor steadiness enough for heavy
draft. The Jersey is not a beef producer, but
excels at the churn. The Holstein and Ayrshire
are strictly dairy cattle producing large quaint
ties of both butter and cheese At the same
time these cattle do make good beef and plenty
of it, when not in milk. They come nearer to
the general utility COW for the farmer. perhaps,
than any other. Yet they will not be sought
where beef is the principal object. Herein the
Short-horns, the Hereford and the Polls excel
The point here for the farmer inasmnch as the
common stock of the country must necessarily
be the foundation stock, is upon which to breed
Thus the selection of the bull is al-important
He should be of such pure blood as comes
nearest to the condition for breeding what is
wanted. Shorthorns and Herefords cross kindly
On the common stock of the country for beef,
do the Holstein and Ayrshire for milk, and also
for beef, where early maturity is not essentially
desired. Where the making Of butter is the
essential qualification, the Jersey or Guernsey
bull will be held in esteem where size is not par
tieularly desirable From the produce selections
of females that show peculiar excellence will in
few years Of careful breeding and care give
herd leaving but little to be desired.

New England Farmer.
Very rarely is an animal worth raising that is
stunted during the growing period of its life.
The profits on raising stock are too small to
allow of keeping and feeding young animals that
have for any length of time stopped growing A

conditions are made favorable to gain, bat
month week CT lost time in the
life of a growing animal can never
be regained IL the growing period is
passed without making the growth that
is natural to the individual, that individual,
whether it be calf, colt pig, chicken or a
child must remain under-size through life. Re-
Gently while travelling we met a boy from Nova
Scotia said to be sixteen years old that was but
twenty-four inches high and weighed but eight
pounds. Such dwarfs may enjoy fair degree
of health, but by no system of feeding can they
be grown to the natural standard of the species.
The bones, though small, are matured bones and
cannot be made to enlarge. The Breeders Jour-
nal has paragraph on this subject which is full
of truth regarding the feeding of young pigs.
It says:
A stunted pig never fully regains what it has
lost. The trouble is that the pig poorly fed has
his digestion impaired, SO that efforts to force
him by subsequent high feeding only makes the
matter worse. Overlooking with pigs is a more
common fault than is generally supposed. A
young pig will always be stunted il fed with all
the corn or corn -meal it can eat The food is too
concentrated and after few surfeits, the stom-
ach refuses to act, and the pig will never be
thrifty afterward Hence the common remark
that some pigs are not worth as much at six
months as they were at the age of six weeks. 10

largely composed of wheat bran, middlings and

Vick's Monthly.
A new method in dahlia cultivation has been
successfully practiced in France. 1t consists in
pegging down the stems of the plants as they
grow; by so doing the foliage presents a hori-
zontal surface-a carpet of green-through
which rise the flower stems bearing the blooms.
In planting bed for dahlias to be trained in
this manner, set the plants with slight il
clination. in order to favor laying down the
stems afterward. The stems are to be fastened
down as they grow, and so arranged as in time
to cover all the soil. Wooden pegs are used for
fastening, the same as in pegging down yerbenas,
petunias and other plants.
The only care necessary is to direct the flower
stems to an upright position.
Plants of strong growing varieties will cover
space of square yard or more. All the stems
and branches should be preserved and allowed
to grow their full length.
