In the growth of an animal the needed
amount of food with the varieties requisite
has been the object of much study and ex-
pertinent. But it is impossible ever to
feed farm stock by any inyariable rule.
Some exceptions will never come in.
General rules, however, may be followed
with fair successes. The IA 'mer who neg

will be a constant loser in a small degree.
on every Animal kept. 1t may be truthfully
said of such a farmer, in many cases. that
the more stock he handles, the greater his
losses. Were a young man TO think of
taking charge of a steam engine or an
electric motor without a fair knowledge
of the workings of the apparatus compos-
ing these intricate agents of great power.
he would be styled silly. Yet it is not
unusual for a boy or any ignorant man to
have almost exclusive charge of the feed
ing of several thousand dollars worth of
live stock. In fact such a person often
owns and directs the feeding and care of
great many valuable animals. Lack of
little knowledge of symptoms and prevent
ives In the source of great loss--in the
aggregate, amounting to heavy balances
on the wrong side of the ledger.

POPULAR florida Hotels.

The well known hotel proprietor, Mr.. z.
H. 0ryis, Of the Windsor Hotel, Jackson
Vile, and Putnam House, Palatka, is engaged
In a spirited warfare with the managers Of
other Florida hotels this season over the
prices Of wines. Under pretext of an In
crease in the price Of champagne caused by
The Mckinley bill the proprictors Of hotels
tried TO form a combine to put up the
price of champagne to 81 bottle, and other
brands accordingly. Mr. OTyis opposed the
scheme by continuing to sell all brands of
imported champagncs for So bottle, and
all other kinds Of wines at pTOpOrtionate
rates. As a result visitors TO Florida have
appreciated his stand against an attempt at
extortion and his hotels are among the best
patronized Of any Of the winter resorts this
season. 1t is to be hoped Mr.. Oryis will con-
tinue this same liberal policy, now SO popu-
lar in his Florida hotels, at his celebrated
summer resort, the Equinox House, Man
chester, Vermont, among the Green noun
taius next season, of which he is also pro-
prietor If lie does 1t will not fail to prove

THINGS BOYS SHOULD KNOW.
Some Sensible Suggestions to Boys Seek ing
knowledge.

5 A word for young boys-a most practic-
able sensible word. Perhaps you are be-
wailing the hard lot that keeps you from
school through illness. Cheer up. Ac-
cording to the writers STANDARD, you have
plenty of chances to be one of the world s
giants, after ALL or, better one of Gods
giants.
81 believe, y says southern writer, I'm
schools where boys can learA trades.
Peter the Great left his throne and went
to learn how to build ship, and he learn
ed from stem to stern, from hull to mast:
and that was the beginning Of his great
ness,
Il knew a young man who was poor
and smart. A friend sent him to one of
those schools up north, where he stayed
two years and came back a mining engi-
neer and bridge builder. Last year he
planned and built a cotton factory, and is
getting large salary.
How many school boys in all the land
can tell what kind of timber will bear the
heaviest burden, or why yon take white oak
for one part of a wagon and ash for an.
other, and what timber will last longer IN
der water and what out OF water.
How many know sandstone from
limestone, or iron from manganese How
many know how to cut a rafter or brace
without a pattern? How many know
which turns the faster-the top of the
wheel or the bottom-as the wagon moves
along the ground? How many know how
steel Is made or how a snake can climb
tree? How many know that d hose gets
up before and a COW behind, and the COW
eats grass from her, and the horse to hna?
How many knows that a surveyors mark
on a tree never gets any higher from the
ground, or what tree bears fruit without
bloom.
There is power of comfort in knowl-
edge, but boy is not goink to get it
unless he wants it badly. And that is
the trouble with most schoolboys. They
do not want it; they are too busy, and
have not got time There is more hope of
dull boy who wants knowledge than a
genius. who generally knows it all with
out study. These close observers are the
world benefactors."

Alaska Mosquitoes.

Moss, shrubs and berries grow in great
profuSion along Yakutat Bay shore, and
over the moraine a regular trail was
formed as the large brown bears crossed
and recroSSed III search of food or berries.
The glacial stream divided into a thou
sand branches and formed an ideal delta,
depositing silt and glacical debris. Our
course took us over the mountain spur
and across an interior basin about one
thousand Ave hundred feet in height
filed with numerous lakes and swaming
with mosquitoes. Indeed, there were
such myriadS of the latter that magma
ton suggested that each fake of snow had
concealed within it a germ, and thus the
mosquito had generated. Here it is that
sometimuS huge brown bears, driven to
fury and desperation by these tormentius
little beasts, finally tear their flesh and die
