The more you practice what you

practice.
The great trouble with man is not
lack of opportunity, it is the need of
a disposition TO improve the 0pportu-
mites he has.
The great secret of getting on in
the world-a secret which few have
learned-is to know when to speak,
and especially when to keep still.
Men suppose that their reason has
command over their words; still it hap
pens that words in return exercise au-
thOrity on reason.-LOrd Bacon.
Unless a man has trained himself
for his chance, the chance will only
make him ridiculous. A great occa-
sioL IS worth to a man exactly what
his antecedents have enabled him to
make of it William MatthetCS.
Most OF tho very rich men of this
country were once poor. But unfort-
unately their change from one condi.
ton to another has been effected very
largely, in ways that left them little
sympathy for those of their fellow
men who have less of pluck and luck.
II love you for yourself alone" as
the blackbird said when he swallowed
the gooseberry. This is the common
place expression of false friends, who,
while they make the utmost use Of us
even to abuse, profess the most un.
bounded admiration of, and regard for
us.-QmUer.
True economy consists in a proper
adjustment of time, strength and
money. IL does not consist solely in
saving money; it may consist in spend
ing it. 1t does not always consist in
saving bread crumbs for bread pud-
dings which frequently prove to be
nothing more than favored and sweet
ened pOultices.
Sometimes it is n positi, injury
TO another to respect his pl ejudices.
But, If you must cross them, do so as
gently as possible. He who has learned

ness has mastered one of tho greatest
lessons of life. He has learned how to
govern and to read. -MorHiR3 star.

Ancient Marine Heroes.

The adventurous spirit and courage

on unknown seas in search OF new

men sailed in ships, some of which
were not over twenty tons burden,
sailed without charts. or canned milk.

room. or any one who would play poker
or bet on the daily run of the ship-in
fact, without any of the modern COM

even when sometimes they had 70 work

THE SOUTHERN TORTOISE.
Prof Shaler Describes Some of the Hab

Prof Shaler Describes Some of the Hab-
its of This Queer Reptile.
Here and there, but rarely, perhaps,
in one amid a hundred OF these
mounds, we find the place where the
reptile entered the ground. This
opening is at once seen 70 be quite sep
arate in character from the mounds
which first attract the eye. 1t consists
OF clearly-defned tunnel, the sides
commonly somewhat smooth and COM
pacted by the energy with which the
body OF the creature has been driven
through it. The passage inclines
steeply downward, descending at the
outset at an angle of from twenty to
thirty degrees. then turning at the
depth OF two or three feet to hor-
izontal position. On the surface, a
little beyond this entrance. is a heap
of debris. which consists of the sand
taken from the passage A few feet
In from the opening the passage APP
pears TO be closed by loose material
which was not elected from the mouth
of the tunnel. Although l have been
unable to catch these tortoises at
work, have succeeded by tolerably
safe differences in tracing their method
of operation. When they begin the
burrow they endeavor at once to PEN
citrate downward to the level in which
they obtain their food. At the outset
they manage. by frequently backing
out of the passage and thrusting the
earth behind them in their retreat TO
clear a considerable opening. When
they have advanced few feet in the
excavation, they cease TO discharge the
material excavated in their advance,
but thrust it behind them, and leave it
lying in the chamber. which it entire
ly closes. With this storage-room pro-
vided. the gophers are able to advance
through the earth for the distance OF
some yards; but as the earth compact
ed by its own weight, by the pressure
exercised through the expansion of
roots, and the action of the rain, oc-
cupies less space than the same mate
rial loosened in the progress Of the
burrow, they soon become hampered
in their movements. They then turn
toward the surface and continue the
excavation until they have attained
very nearly to the open air. They
then use the great strength which they
clearly possess 70 thrust a quantity of
the burrowed material upward until it
rises above the surface in the form Of
cone. and by the space in the burrow
thereby gained they are able to go
few feet further in their tortuous line
of advance. when they must again
seek to discharge a portion OF the
earth in the manner just described

Training the Calf for a Cow.

People get funny ideas, and some
times they give expression to them as
if they were the scientific truths of a
philosopher. The fact is that great
deal of writing is done with criminal
carelessness. The writer's really know
better than they talk. in some cases,
but through sheer recklessness they
state monstrOus errors. We observe
that there is going the rounds the
ell-written-that If you
desire TO train heifer for the dairy,
the calf must be well-fed upon the
bone and muscle forming foods. thus
developing the milk habit, but that ii
a calf is intended for beef animal, il
should be fed largely upon the
fat-forming foods, to develop the
habit of fat production. That is about
the most nonsense that we remember
ever to have seen in such limited space.
1t is stated that If this fat making habit
is established then the extra food given
when the heifer is in milk. instead Of
producing milk, will produce fat.
Well. if the mixer is fed as she should
be she will not get very much TO make
fat out of. Now it ought TO be under
stood forever and by every body that a
young animal, Whatever it may be in
tended for. should be fed a certain
class of foods. The idea of feeding a
calf or any other young animal upon
something from which the system can
get nothing to build up on is utterly
ridiculous. Western Rural.

VALUE OF GRADES.
Tho Kind of Animals Especially Adapted
for Ordinary Farm Purposes.

INC hinu OF Audpteu
for Ordinary Farm Purposes.
There are many farmers who need
thoroughbred stock for their own use.
What the breeder needs is one thing.
and what the working farmer needs is
another. Take the horse, for in
stance. The large and well-bred draft
horse is only fitted to be the sire Of
or Percheron can do as good work or
last as long at it as one of his own get
bred from common mare. The grade
is generally better bone and muscle
aud made for work. Here is where
the value of good blood comes in.
Your common mare is good property;
so is your grade mare, and as a gener-
al rule the grade has more stamina for
work than the full blood. These AFRO
kept on rich diet, and well fed and
somewhat pampered usually
Give the value of full-bloOd male
to the foal of common mare and you
have work horse worth having, pos
sessing endurance and often with good
style and action. Your common mare
generally has a solid bone and good
substance, while the great draft horse
has bone that is spongy in compare
son, and not half as close and firm.
The grade comes in for the excellence
of his parents. and is serviceahle, siza-
bic, strong and dOcile. A good grade
is all most men need. Unless he d.
sires to breed his horse no farmer can
aXOrd to own a thoroughbred.
What is true OF the horse is yet moro
true of cattle. The thoroughbred Jer-
sey cow gives milk only little better
or richer, or in greater quantity,
than half-elood. The same is
true of all the dairy breeds of
cattle A farmer needs a good
Jersey or HOlstein bull, and might
have few full-blOod cows to produce
more full-bloods from. but his herd CT
mixers need not be all genuine.
Grades that are half are often excellent
mixers, and if they are not so can be
discarded when a supply of higher
grades is at hand. Very soon the herd
improves and becomes higher in grade.
Breed good mixers among common
cows to fUll-blood Jersey or Holstein,
and the first heifer calf is very sure
to make good COW.
The same result Of excellence may be
expected from breeding for beef. Turn
shOrthorn bulls with herd on the
range and the grade steer becomes
good beef The difference in inn
provement is readily seen, for
the fact is, "blood will tell
Soon the herd becomes a herd of good
grades. The man who uses common
scrub bulls, when he can get one OF
the best beef-making breeds, throws
away his time and means Take the
whole range of domestic animals and
they can be improved at sligh+ cost so
as TO make a great differ cnce in the |
profit It is not always necessary or
even advisable to use expensive ami |
mails. The man unable to afford it can
afford TO purchase or hire animals
grad ID up to near true blood, and that !
will be of great value to his stock. |
Take these well-graded animals until |
you can afford better, and they will |
earn the money to buy the other with.
