The native home of the Brown Swiss
cattle is the canton of Schwytz, Swift

country was made about 1sfC. This
was succeeded by a few other importa-
lions, and the demand slowly increased
until the remarkable record made by
Brienz, a fine specimen &. The breed,

AN AID TO MILKING.
The Collegian's Advice to His Father Re-
suits DjsastrOusiy,

The tOlleg82n'S ADVICE TO Ills rather hc~
suits D~isastrously.
A college student in one of our
western states recently returned home
after his course was finished to find
that his father, a clergyman with a
small salary, vas eking out his living
by running a small farm. One Of the
adjuncts Of the farm was a COW. a
pretty good animal. which, however,
had a strong aversion to being MIXED.
Here was an opportunity for a dis
play of the lately acquired knowledge
of the juvenile c%ollegian.
Father" said he. Prof. c. says
If one will place a weight upon a cows
back it will make her give down the
milk"
The reverend gentleman, favorably
impressed with this information that
his son had learned from Prof. C..
decided to try the simple remedy. In.
stead, however, of placing a weight
upon the cows back. the clergyman
placed himself upon it. But then he
answered the purpose. The COW, now
ever. was still obstinate.
Tie my legs under the cow" said
the father to his son.
The son did SO. But the COW. I'M
used to such unusual and arbitrary
proceedings, manifested her displeas-
ure by rearing and plunging, entirely
unmindful of the dignity of the per-
sonage astride her spinal column. 1t
was getting altogether too interesting
for the W. bipeds concerned in the
transaction.
Cut the rope! Cnt the rope..' shout
ed Mr.. " to his dutiful son, a
ing the rope by which he was attached
to the COW.
But the son. being somewhatexcited,
cut the rope by which the cow was
fastened to the stanchion. At once
availing herself of the liberty thus of.
fered. the cow took an unceremonious
exit from the stable, and down the
street she went. The minister accom-
panied the cow. but in a n not
exactly BETTING the dignity of his
profession.
As it happened. one of the sisters OF
the congregation vas on the street as
the race was in progress. Surprised at
such a sight the good sister cried out:
t'Why, Brother V, where are you
going?'
His sense of the ludicrous coming to
his aid, Brother v shouted back:
sThe Lord and the COW only know. l
don't"
The clergyman was eventually res
cued from his awkward perch, and
never attempted the feat again

The Best Feed for COWS.

Grass or hay fed to cows in milk
cannot return its full manurial value
to the soil, as a part is used up in pro-
ducing the milk. There is also a loss
when fed 10 any growing or working
animals. but the manure made from
feeding q ton of hay, if worked into
the soil, may be worth more for a cror
than If the hay were left TO rot on the
surface. The manure, especially the
liquid portions. would act quickly.
while the hay would decay slowly and
perhaps in part be blown away upon

The Preponderance Of Politics


That Americans are fond of politics
needs no demonstration. But are the
majority of them aware just how fond
of it they really are? If not, table
casually compiled by Joseph French
Johnson, principal of the department
of journalism in the University of
Pennsylvania, may possess instructive
value. Professor Johnson, on given
day, selected nine well-known news
papers and classified the number of
columns devoted to current topics und-
er two general heads, one "politics"
and the other Subjects other than
politics" Then he gave third head
ing which showed the percentage Of the
columns devoted to politics as COM
pared with the remainder Of the paper.
The date Of this comparison was the
twenty-frst day of last June, when no
subject of extraordinary political inter
est engaged the attention Of the peo-
pie. This was the result the first
column showing the number Of col
umns given to politics; the second, the
number given to miscellaneous sub
jects; and the third, the political per-

in time Of peace, as an inpertinent and
a dictatorial one, which he would be
thoroughly justified in ignoring? But
suppose that Roe belonged 10 the
American Railway union and that the
order TO quit work came from Presi-
dent Debs instead of President Cleve-
land. The probability is that Roe
would obey 1t unhesitatingly, whether
he had a grievance or not. Why? Be-
cause Debs is the head of union
which is more powerful even than that
Union for which patriots have died.
Can any sensible man regard such a
condition Of affairs as normal and
wholesome? Are we to have genuine
prosperity while such anomalies last?
