Grant Was Born For Great Deeds.

Gen. Grant was, think, created by ma
ture for great emergenci es. The very
magnitude of q task seem ed with him to
call forth the powers viii CHI surmounted.
In trivial matters he was n ordinary man.
He was made for great tn ngs, not for lit
tie. He could wiring 100000 from the
treasury of Great Britai for the Nation.
He could not protect his personal savings
from the scoundrels in W all Street. If I
were asked what single word in all the
wealth of the English Ian guage best des
cribes his character, l sh ould say unhesi-
tatingly that the word is '1oyalty." He
was loyal to his friends, loyal to his fam
lily, loyal 80 his country, loyal to his God.
1t was Unborn in him, and it often led him
to stand by friends who no longer merited
the attachment. Many a public man has
had troops of followers because of his
patronage, but no other public man ever
had SO many friends who loved him for
his own sake, who stuck to him when he
was captain or General or President, or
simply private citizen. The exactions,
privitations, and his responsibilities of
his earlier years told upon his constitution
in the last years of his life. The financial
troubles at the last were g severe blow to
his life.

DAIRY MAXIMS.

large quantity of milk is scarcely COM
patlble with very good quality.
The only way TO draw conclusions about
COWS, is by testing them. The tests
should be reliable and numerous. One
test may produce suspicion; it needs a
large number to produce conviction or
confirm suspicion.
Waste consists in giving good and album
dant food to COWS that are unable to turn
it to best account.
insufficient food tends to decrease the
caseine of the milk and substitute albu-
men; and it also decreases the butter pro-
duct.
Too much exercise means the inhala-
ton of too much oxygen and the unneces-
sary consumption of fat in the system of
the animal
Weighing COWS milk will not cause her
to give any more but may cause her own
er to ubstitute better one.
Within certain limits, milk may be
made poor or rich by supplying poor and
watery fodder or rich fodder.

To carry out the soiIing system IN its
entlr1ty, 1t is necessary to have regular
succession of green crops commencing
with spring and lasting until winter sets
IN. Rye is found to answer very we'll for
the first crop.
Cows teats that crack and become sore,
should have an application OF fresh lard
or well prepared salve worked in thor

otherwise silver milking tube carefully
smeared with fresh lard before using can
be employed.
The flow of milk will diminish if COWS
are not MIXED "clean." The udder will
also be infamed.
The time to give COWS a generous diet
is when they are drying for calging. Give
them chance to go out to grass in tho
spring in good condition.
Calves will not grow up or thrive
around hay stack. If they go into win
ter IN good condition they are likely to
come out worse in the spring.

The Tall Woman and the Small Man.
FOrtnishtlY t.eyieW

In minor matters it is of course uni
versally admitted that short men, as a
rule prefer tall women, while tall men ad-
mire little women. Dark pairs by pre-
ference with fair; the commonplace Of
ten runs after the original. People have
long noticed that this attraction toward
ones opposite tends to keep true the
standard of the race; they have not, per-
haps, so generally observed that it also
indicates roughly the existence in either
individual of desire for its own natural
complement. It is difficult here to give
definite examples, but everybody knows
how, in the subtle psychology of falling
In love, there are involved innumerable
minor elements, physical and mental,
which strike US exactly because of their
absolute adaptation to form with our
selves an adequate union. of course We
do not definitely seek out and discover
such qualities; instinct works far more
intu1tively than than that; but we find at
least, by subsequent observation, how
true and how trustworthy ware its imme-
diate indications. That is to say, those
men do so who were wise enough or for
tunate enough to follow the earliest
promptings of their own hearts, and not
to be ashamed of their divinest and deep
est of human intuitions, love at first
sight.

So tired dear soul, pray let as rest,

When smiling hope breathes forth her sweet

The barrier at her glad behest
Will, like bad dream fade away
And golden sunbeams flood the whole
Pathway of gloom. Yes, il is best
We cannot climb the wall to-day.

FRIENDS.

With the fool as he loudly raves,
That 'f friendship is only a monstrous sell"
And that friends are but welapoKen knaves.
Bat pity the brainleSs creatures who
Their ears to such nonsense fend,
And then echo the words their whole lif

There is no such thing as friend.''
Are you \ coward, shirking the care
OF working for what you get:
Leaving all burdens for others to bear;
Amusing yourself while they sweat.
Always relying on some good fool
Your natural wants to attend.
Swimming through life as q general rule
On the back of some plying frieud.
Ere you battling your way through life,
AS every honest man should.
Patient and earnest In hours of strife,
Seeking to do only good?
you are be proud and nc favors ask
From those who might well pretend
To the world you have failed in your task
Were dependent, in fact on friend.
Rely on yourself, be noble and true
And remember that honesty wins,
But beware OF the knaVe whatever you do,
Who wink at your follles aid sins,
And then should troubles your life assai,
Greater will be the amends
Offered by those who never will fail
To prove themselves genuine friends.

location of several Western cities, was a
red flag, designed to draw attention to
the various points at which the

was Kansas City, Omaha, st. Paul and

What Woman Is Said to Have Done

great many women do firt on the cars.
[ suppose that time hangs heavily on
their hands during long journey, and
they hardly know what to do with them
selves. Under the circumstances it is
quite natural for them to fall into con-
the opposite sex, and having made a be-
ginning it is very easy for them to be-
come silly. Let me tell you about the
worst case of flirting I ever saw. It was
about two years ago, down in Ohio. On
my train was young woman dressed in
deep mourning, and at the beginning of
her journey having a heavy black veil
over her face. She was apparently of a
lively dispositions cheerful soul, Away S
disposed to look on the bright side of
life and to make the best even of unfav-
orable circumstances it was not
long before she removed the veil. Soon
afterward she began looking around at
he1 fellow passengers, and in an hour or
two saw her in animated conversation
with handsome young drummer from
Chicago"
They talked and laughed and exchang-
ed cards and really grew quite fond of
each other, and for all know made ar
engagements to carry on a correspond
ence. This was bad enough in
itself, but what made it ali the
worse was the fact that the woman's hus-
band was on the same train ahead in the

Cattle Sheds.
Prairie Farmer.

Amt it about time, brother farmers,
that we begin to think of and talk about
sheds for our cattle, sheep and hogs for
the coming winter? You have not for
gotten how cur COWS and young stock
huddled together, hump backed, vainly
seeking protection from the bleak winds
and chilling sheets; how our sheep were
saturated to the skin with water and
weighed down with ice and snow until
they could scarcely walk, and in their
agony munching the finty corn stalks
and filthy, unsavory hay, made so by be-
ing trodden under foot; how the pigs
squealed and roamed all night long,
vainly seeking a dry sheltered nook to
lie down and enjoy little comfortable
sleep. You remember all this very dis
tinctly, certainly. And you also remem-
Der, to your sorrow, the bony, angular,
hirsute appearance of your stock when
spring time came. Languid and lousy
every one of them tottered as it walked,
and when down scarcely able to rise-in
fact, some of them have not risen yet
and never will rise, unless, peradventure
our dumb ANIMALS have Gabriel of their
own whose footing horn will wake them
to life again.
The recollection of our past short-com-
lngs has not been a pleasant one. Ex-
perience has also shown that our neglect
has been an improbable one. Why, just
look at John Thotphul (you know him),
he wlntered more stock on less feed than
any of US, what lot of butter he makes
from his slick COWS, when the price of
butter is high. See how strong and thrifty
his young heifers and steers were when
turned to grass and the wonderful growth
they made the past year. Dry, warm
sheds and the currycomb occasionally did
it for him. What an immense clip of
wool he took from his sheep, and what
large, beautiful lambs the ewes brought
forth, no feeble ones among them to pine
and die for want of nourishment from the
mother. Shelter and care did it for him.
And his hogs! There is no use to make
They were pigs late last
fall, In the spring they were hogs-great
big hogs, too. A warm pen with plenty
of strawbedding did it for him.
