Things That are ..Undemociatic,.

Things That are ''Undemociatic".
The country is told by several Dem
ocratic papers that third-termism is
''undemocratic." This is true. of
course. Third-termism is ''undemo-
cratic, and also ''unrepublican.
No party ever advocated or yer hint
cd that it Nould accept or endure
third-termism. \ few Republicans
fifteen Or twenty years ago favored it
with respect to Grant, as Il few Dem
ocrats favor it now with respect to
Cleveland: but the great body of the
former we're against it. as the great
body of the latter are. Grant. with
his immense personal popularity,
would probably have been beaten in
the election if he had been nominated
in either 1876 Or 1850. Hundreds of
thousands of Republicans would have
rema ined away from the polls. and
other hundreds of thousands would
have voted for the Democratic candi-
date. The Democratic party holds no
monopoly in the third-term ahtago-
nism.
Several other things besides third
termism are "undemOcratiC."
although the Democratic party was a
good many years in finding this out.
Silvcrism Il one of them. and protec-
tionism is another. The jOr-dollar
men. the Biands. Cockrells and Har-
rises. If any of them had been active
in The days Of Jackson. Van Buren,

NOT TROUBLED BY NOISE.
Literary People Who Could Work in the
Midst of Turmoil.

Literary People Who Could Work in the
Midst of Turmoil
All that concerns the men and women
who give distinction to their day is of
interest to those who admire, criticise
and perhaps envy their achievements,
says Chambers Journal. A special and
legitimate curiosity is felt in reference
to the conditions under which success
is won. Glimpses are occasionally
given into the methods of eminent
toilers, and wonderful variety is re-
vealed. 1t is at least plain that no
guidebook to great performances-the
anxious author can have his choice of
several-will determine the point
where exactly the best results are to
be obtained. One mans help is anoth-
er's hindrance. Many famous writers,
for instance, have only been able to
perfect their thoughts in silence and
secIusion. But there have also been
those who could work in the midst of
babel and defy distraction. Jane Aus
ten, whose unpretentious canvases are
full of some of the most life-li2e por-
traits in fiction, was never in the habit
of seeking solitude to compose. She
wrote sitting in the family circle, and
under perpetual risk of interruption.
1t was the same with a successful lady
novelist happily still living.
Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote
her best-known story on a plain pine
table, by the aid of an evening lamp,
in a tiny wooden house in Maine.
About her were gathered children of
various ages, coming their lessons or
at play, and never guessing what a
treasure mine of excitement was COM
ing into existence for other young peo-
pie in ''Uncle Toms Cabin" A large
part of the Roman History" of DR.. Ar
mold was composed under similar cir
cumstances. Dean Stanley has sl1etched
the Rugby student, where Arnold sat
at his work, with no attempt at seclu-
sion, conversation going on around him
his children playing in the room-his
frequent guests, whether friends or
former pupils, coming in or out at
will" Thomas Lowell Beddoes, poet
of luxuriant fancy and true genius,
though much neglected, also found a
stimulus to the creative faculty of his
muse in working in playful and even
noisy company. Such cases recall the
story of the learned man of Padua, who
assured Montaigne that he actually
needed to be hemmed in by uproar be-
fore he could proceed TO study.

BIG BUTTER YIELD.
Remarkable Results Obtained by Con-
neeticut Dairyman.

Examples of very successful feeding
of cows are becoming common, show
ing that dairymen are advancing with
great rapidity in the art of dairying.
From the Homestead we select an ex-
ample that may serve to inspire some
one to better effort:
ga yield of 1862 pounds of butter per
COW in herd of 20 is the yearly prod
uct obtained by n D. Potter, pro-
gressive dairyman of South Coventry,
Conn. Here is his system and it's results:
If results are criterion, the system
appears to be a good one. The cows
are nearly all grade Jerseys, II of the
20 being dehorned. They are kept in
milk from 1917 to II months. being
bred as soon as possible after calving
The plan is to feed the cows all they
will eat and to feed frequently in or
der that they will clean up each ra-
ton. The grain used is a mixture
made up of 100 pounds gluten meal,
200 pounds fine feed or middlings, and
200 pounds provender. The cows are
fed at a. m. with 81 to pounds
grain, this being the time of the morn
ing milking, and at 6 a. m % to rs
pounds corn silage. The stables are
cleaned at $50 and the cows let out
into yard and watered with warm
water. AS soon as this is done they
are fed from to pounds of good hay.
At IL m, the remnants and enough
good hay to make about "a pounds
per COW are cut up, tablespoonful of
salt and from 3 to So pounds grain
added for each cow, which is mixed up
with warm water.

WOMEN WHO WRITE.

A Delightful Comparative Study with the
Writing Man.
When a man writes he wants pomp
and circumstance and eternal space
from which to draw. If he writes at
home, says the Boston Advertiser.
he needs study or library, and he
wants the key lost and the keyhole
pasted over so that no one can disturb
him. His finished products are of much
Importance to him, and, for a time, he
wonders why the planets have not
changed their orbits or the sunshine
acquired new brilliancy because he
has written something by a castiron
method.
A woman picks up some scraps of a
copy book or the back of a pattern,
sharpens her pencil with the scissors or
gnaws the end sharper. She takes an
old geography, tucks her foot under
her, sucks her pencil periodically and
produces literature.
She can write with Genevieve pound
ing out her exercises on the piano,
with Mary buzzing over her history
lesson for tomorrow, Tommy teasing
the baby, and the baby pulling the
cats tail. The domestic comes and
goes for directions and supplies, but
the course of true love runs on, the
lovers WOO and win, and the villains
kill and die among the most common
place surroundings.
A mans best efforts, falling short of
genius, are apt to be stilted, but the
woman who writes will often, with the
stump of pencil and amid the distrac-
tons above mentioned, produce ten
der bit of poem, dramatic situation
or page If description l4at, though
critics rave, lives on, tra7ul@ through
the exchanges and finds 4 place in
the scrapbooks of the n1ca and women
who know good thing when they see
it, whether there is well-known name
signed to it or not.

COOLING BOX FOR BUTTER.

down into the bottom of the box. To
facilitate the cooling the butter is
rolled into an arch, as shown in the
cut In large diaries these boxes are
large enough to admit Of placing two
or three layers of butter to cool at
once.
Every dairy is supplied with several
scales of varying sizes. The decimal
weight is used everywhere. Instead
of moving the weight along on the
lever arm, as we usually do, there are
two platforms. one on which to place
the object to be weighed and on the
other the weights of different sizes.
In many diaries they use weight on
the receiving platform for the milk,
which has basin holding from SO to
rs gallons. The milk is poured into
this, and when a certain weight is
reached it is checked off and the basin
is tipped SO that it empties its contents
into the large milk vat.
Many styles of buckets and milk
cans are used. They are generally
made of heavy tin and they are not
infrequently enormous in size. The
cans in which the milk is transported
are of two general forms. square and
round, and the mouth is so large that
it admits "a hand and arm readily.
Frequently the weight of the can is
stamped upon it, or it is stamped upon
a brass plate and soldered to the can,
thus obviating the weighing of the can.

From Prof. Georgeson's recent report
On the dairy industry of Denmark we
reproduce an illustration of a cooling
box for butter. Prof. Georgeson says:
Butter coolers are found in every
dairy. The cooler is a simple box
made either of wood or in some cases
of zinc, in which the butter is kept to
cool after it is removed from the but
ter worker, and it remains there until
it is time to give it the next working.
The box is provided with one or more
cleats on which the butter is put. In
the illustration a represents the cleat,
the Stats and S the butter. The box
is covered with lid on which is put
layer of broken ice, and the ice water
from the melting of this ice runs

WHAT is the use in keeping COW
that does not pay her board? 1t is a
vital question in the dairy.
THERE can be no success in the dairy
unless the herd is good one, That is
the first thing to look after.
ONE of our most experienced dairy
men uses wet chaff to weigh down en-
silage and says that it is the best thing
to use.
Fl. B. GURLER says that nobody can
detect in butter any bad effects from
feeding ensilage, and he has carefully
tested the matter.
