Puritan Idea of a Gentleman.

In an address on the two hundred and
fiifieth anniversary Of the. settlement Of
New Haven, William l. Kingsley says
The Puritans gave to the world new
idea of what it is 10 be gentleman.
With the views respecting manhood,
which they received from the Bible,
they conceived = new idea as to what *
the proper way to treat others. Polished
manners and a gracious department to
ones equals is not enough, according to
the Puritan ideg. y man may smile and
smile, and be q villain still There should
be such delicacy Of perception OF the
rights and feelings Of others as 10 lead q
person not only to avoid giving oTense
to any, high OF low, but the perception
should be accompanied by such q treat
ment Of all as reveals friendly feeling.
This idea Of e gentleman did not exist
before the time OF the Puritans. 10
not say that there were not persons who
had such character.
But Shakespeare uses the word gen
tleman' more than five hundred times,
and not once to designate anything more
than a person of high social position.
One OF the most eloquent English essay
lists Of modern times, Rev Charles Kings
ley, dignitary of the anglican church
says that Puritan and not the cavalier
conception of what British gentleman
should be is the one accepted by the
whole British nation at this day T-Npg

shiftIess Feeding.

There IS a shiftless way Of feeding that
makes loss Of the food certain. and often
the loss OF the hogs equally certain. The
kind Of feeding that keeps a lot Of piss
or stockers from three to six months
without gain Is a total loss Of feed also
a loss Of time in the maturing Of the an
finals. That Is shifiless feeding that car
ries a lot Of hogs through winter on one
kind OF feed. The need Of variety brings
them to the bone yard when grass is al
most in sight. Our readers have I'll seen
specimens Of this kinl OF feeding. The

FARM NOTES

FOOD FOR BREEDING Sows.-Thel,
Is no better food for breeding sow
than skim milk with wheat bran
There Is very little fat IN either, -;
such is the appetite of breeding soS
that she Will fatten rapidly IL given all
she can eat of either OF these. But the
pigs thus nourished before birth will
be strong and vigorous, and what fat
the SOW has will not be in any danger
OF making her nervous or feverish. If
q supply of beets and mangel wurtZels
have been provided they will be worth
more than grain to feed to breeding
sows as to cooling diet for those dis
posed to lay on too much fat No
other kinds OF root is eaten by pigs of
any age so greedily as are beets and
mangeIs- As a part Of the supply
even for the fattening animals they
are almost indispensable. The exclu-
slve gram feeding of fattenIng hogs is
very bad for their digestion, and If the
pig is made sick while preparing for
the butcher it is hardly to be wondered
at that his pork will give dyspepsia to
those who eat IL.
