BEST INVESTMENT.
Small Herds and Fiocks of the
Best Glass of ANIMALS.


Best Glass of ANIMALS.
The maxim "a small farm we'll TILED"
is an old one, and the frequent advice to
cultivate small areas is excellent; but
this rule is one that is also applicable to
herds and flocks in certain sense. To
make small farm profitable the land
must be brought up to the highest de-
gree OF fertility, and it must be well fed
II 1t Is to produce heavily. The quality
OF the soil is the prime factor to be con-
Sldercd before the venture is made. If
farmers cultivate too much land they
also keep larger t1ocks and herds than is
necessary to success. 1t is the we'll
bred herd that gives the farmer profit,
and the failure to make stock raising
pay Is due to the keeping of large num-
berS Of Improbable animals instead
OF concentrating the capital and labor
Oh a small but better class of stock.
THE FIRST COST.
The first item that enters into the cost
of an animel is its maintenance, which
includes the food necessary to keep it
alive without increase of weight. This
cost must always be borne, under all
conditions, and in many eases it is the
source of the loss. The greater the cost
of providing the animal with warmth
bodily and the materials for repair of
tissue, the smaller will be the profit
from the animal unless it can give re-
turn prOportiOnate to the cost of MAIN
tenance, and greater, in comparison
with other animals in the herd. This
rule applies also to the soil, for the cost
of maintenance of the soil Uhat is, to
avoid loss of fertility must be esti-
mated in the cost of the crop. The profit
derived by the former is greater in exact
proportion to the surplus over the total
cost, which includes not only the main
tenance of the animal, but the CAPT.
tai and labor invested in its manage
ment.
QUALITY OF THE STOCK.
While q large herd will give larger
return, under equal conditions, than a
small one, yet the profit depends on the
amount from each member of the herd.
1t is, therefore, more profitable to keep
a few animals that pay than to keep
large numbers at loss. 1t is more
profitable to transfer the capital i'll
vested in a large herd that does not pay
to a small herd, thereby concentrating
the efforts OH few, just as small plot
OF land may be made profitable by ap-
plying on it the whole of the manure.
The quality of the animals, their capa-
city to convert food into salable pro-
duets and the lessening of the cost. and
especially of the cost of maintenance,
are to be chiefly considered, and when
these matters are fairly given the at
tentiOn of the farmer he will find that
he has been too eXtravagant in attempt
ing to do that which is sometimes con-
Sidered economical. Economy in rails
ING stock is to use the hest animals to
be had, and TO properly manage them.

onsiders it humbug and altogether un-


necessary.
Professor Checkley claims that the
strength born Of these harsh methods is
superfcial-only skin deep, as it were
and has no staying qualities, says the
Chicago Herald. He says the muscular
system of 'man is not made up of chest
and biceps, and that any principle of
training which fails to educate the en-
tire physical being is false, improper,
and injurious. Punching a sandbag may
be good thing for the arms, but will
scarcely increase ones permanent
strength or permanent health. A man
may be able to do this to perfection, and
still be ignorant of how to carry his own
body. He characterizes this kind of
exercise as "outside" training that is
improbable, and which often proves
more than a harmless mistake.
The foundation of Professor Checkley's
method is, first, how to breathe, and
second, how to stand, "Do these cor
rectly and you will have mastered the
A B @ of physical health" says this
athletic apostle. "The Office of the lungs
being of the very highest Importance, it
follows that to neglect them means dan
ger to the entire body. One may think
he is developing his lungs by a form of
exercise that expands his chest" said
the Professor, @but after all this eXpan-
sion is merely a matter of external mus
cular development, and the theory is on
par with the general superfciality of the
average system of training. Hard layers
of muscles on the chest do not improve
the permanent strength of the lungs.
The enlargement and strengthening of
these organs can only be accomplished
by the exercise and special training of
these organs themselves. In other words,
not outside, but inside exercise lies at the
very bottom of natural physical training,
and I claim that the education of the
lungs should preclude that of the outer
muscular system, for the natural in
crease of lung strength and chest room
is retarded by methods that begin work
on the outside.
"Lung diseases are less frequent among
women than men, and yet the women
breathe less air than men, but they do it
in a better manner. This is partially
attributable 10 the use of the corset,
which, fortunately, has tended to pro-
duce habit of breathing with the upper
part of the lungs. Abdominal breathing
is particularly common with the male
sex, and this habit of exercising the
lower part of the lungs is the reason why
the upper parts that first receive the air
are left in a state of relative weakness
and susceptibility. In my opinion, =" re-
marked Mr.. Checkley, "the diaphragm

may be certain of establishing a better
height than if he did otherwise, and this
status will be permanent. OF course,
the spine may be relied upon to give a
certain support to the trunk, but the
multitude of muscles associated with the
spine are intended to perform the greater
part of the work in keeping the body in
position. The muscles should not only
direct the posture of the body but largely
support it, and this should be remember
ed in standing and in every other posi-
ton and action. To do this does not
imply greater labor, but less; and what
begins by a conscious effort-will soon end
in habit that will become an exhilara-
ton. What often passes for fatigue of
the muscles is simply irritation, arising
from impeded circulation of the blood,
brought about not by the use but by the
cramping or non-use of the muscles.
"This numbness or irritation from i'm
peded circulation is particularly likely to
result from bad habits in sitting. In this
position, as in standing, the muscles
must be brought into play, and precisely
in proportion to the extent to which they
are used will be the absence of fatigue in
sitting. OF course I do not maintain that
one should continually sit bolt upright,
for this would entail great fatigue to a
person compelled to sit during a great
many hours each day. Some of the
muscles may be relaxed and the position
modified for short periods, but they
should never be so relaxed as to drop the
trunk upon the spine, leaving its own
bone structure to hold it in position.
Those who have dropped into this round
backed posture will testify to a peculiar
WEAKNESS in the lumbar region of the
spine or what is called the small of the
back This is not because the muscles
are tired. but because they have been
benumbed by failure in the circulation.
A proper maintenance of muscular action
will keep up the healthy circulation and
make it easier to sit for a considerable
time without fatigue.
"The cultivation OF the muscles in the
region of the abdomen and the lower
part of the back viii naturally have the
effect of making it easier to sit, as every
gain in the strength and extent of a
system of muscles builds up a power of
involuntary action. In relaxing the
trunk the well-driiled army of muscles
win be found to have acquired power

Athletic Mr.. Checkley, whose superb
physique is a striking proof of the cor
rectness of his theory, so far as he is
concerned, believes that in many Of the
popular system practices in and out of
the college gymnasiums there is more
~straining" than "training," and the
method he advocates is a radical depart
ure from all these familiar paths. For
health lifts, chest expanders, boxing ma
chimes, rowing appliances, and the hun
dred other inventions in use at a gymna-
SUM, he has profound contempt. They
may give muscle to the performer while
he is in constant practice, but let him

interest in the work flags. As for the

The Poison OF the GoIdenrod.

The poison of the goldenrod arises
from a fluffy or powder-like substance,
which the flower produces as it begins
to decay, which increases day by day,
and sends forth its poison around, en-
tirely imperceptible, and the peaceful
sleeper inhales it to such an extent as
to lay him up for several days, says o
writer in the New York Star. In some
respects the symptoms are not unlike
LA Grippe" 1t irritates the throat,
produces understanding makes the
limbs feel as though burdened by 8
heavy weight, and depresses the patient
to such degree that he hardly cares
whether school keeps or not.

During exercise of an ordinary charac-
ter the breathing will naturally increase
to fourteen or fifteen breaths in minute.
ain all lung exercises these organs
should be inflated upward and outward
instead of downward. The chest and
lungs should be carried as if the imitation
were about to lift the body off the ground
upward and forward. The feeling of
buoyancy produced by this habit is not
an illusion by any means, but genuine
reality.
"But to breathe properly one must
know how the body should be carried.
First learn how to stand. If 1 were to
choose twelve people at random, and,
placing them in a row, were to take a
liberal drawing of their actual standing
positions, they would present curious
spectacle. The distended abdomen and
more or less fattened chest would pre-
vail in a majority of the dozen subjects,
while in eleven out of twelve the bone
structure of the body and not the mus
cles would be found doing most of the
work of keeping the body upright. The
abdomen is pushed into disagreeable
prominence by allowing the body to rest
on the legs as best it may, which pro-
duces a rounding of the shoulders and
a conspicuousness of the abdominal re-
gion. This attitude is Just as common
among women as men, in fact even more
so with the former, for corsets, while
theoretically holding the body up, en-
courage Iassitude of the waist region.
Then, again, women like to affect q
'willowy' style of standing and moving;
many girls seem to think that there is a
kind of feminine charm in a lackadaisical
manner. 1t is the muscles that should hold
the body in position and the bone structure
Of the body should not be forced to per-
form this work. The task of holding the
trunk erect and of keeping the proper
relation between the spine and the pelvis
devolves upon the muscles, and it is
worth remembering that the height of a
man may be materially affected by the
manner in which he carries himself. If
he uses the muscles of the hip and alb
dominal region and Of the back instead
of allowing his trunk to settle down he

THE new military law of France has
considerably increased her fighting ma
terial. According to the figures of the
War Minister, recently published, the
French army on war footing numbers
at present four million five hundred
thousand trained soldiers. The Ger
man army is now numerically inferior
to that of France; and the French say
that, although the German population
is considerably greater than that OF
France, the male population of the two
countries is about the same. In other
words, the emigration from Germany
has left an excess of female population
at home, and has drained off an i'm
mense number of fighting men. This
state of affairs is probably the real
cause of the pacific protestations of the
young Emperor and of the cessation of
war cries in the German press. And
Crispi, too, is beginning to be more civil
than he used to be. The fact is, the
armies of Russia and France are amply
able to make the triple alliance behave
itself.
