Good MIR.

To make good butter one must have good milk, and this comes only from healthy cows, fed on good. sweet pas ture or on good. sweet grain and other forage, and which have pure water to drink and pure air to breathe. Certain obnoxious weeds-leeks, wild onions, ragweed and others-give the milk and the butter made from 1t decidedly bad flavor; 90 also do damaged, rotten silage, moldy corn fodder or hay and musty, damaged grain. Impure water has its effeot both on the health of the animals and the quality of the milk. In many pastures arc seen small pools in which the cows stand during the heat of the day to rid themselves of flies The water in these becomes filthy and is kept stirred up by the movements of the cattle, and where, as is often the case, it is the only water obtainable the cows are compelled to drink it.. This can usually be avoided by fencing the pond and keeping the cattle out. If this water is needed for the cattle 1t can be drawn out by pipe laid on the low or side in @ trough from which the COWS can drink.
 In a close, crowded and i'll ventilated stable, where there is too little air space for each animal, the air becomes foul from the exhalations, and this affects the milk as we'll as the health of the animals. The remedy in this case is to provide more room for the stock and better ventilation.
 The stable should be kept as clean as possible and the COWS well bedded and clean. The utmost cleanliness should be observed in milking. All dirt should be brushed from the COW before begin ming to milk, and 1t is best to dampen the udder and flank of the COW, so as to prevent the dust and fine dirt from fall ing into the milk. The milk should be strained immediately after milking and not allowed to stand in the COW stable any longer than Is absolutely necessary. Bulletin United States Department of Agriculture.

Loud rAILer- and Low Speakers.

Funny writers and stage cometiians try people as very loud takers" TO- marked Colonel Leonard Ainsworth of Arkansas. "As matter of far t, per sons who are accustomed to the quiet and solitude of rural life speak in very low tone of voice, while thOso who live noises of the city naturally acquire the habit of talking loudly. The reason for the difference is plain. When you city folks meet on the street, you havo to elevate your voices to a high pitch in order to make yourselves heard. mev- or come to St. Louis or visit any other large city that 1 don't soon get sore throat from Overexerting my voice. Of course, you who live here arc us,d to the strain on your voice and don't suffer from it as do.
 If you ever heard m Indian talk, you will realize the force of what say. never saw a real Indian that spoke much above a whisper. Ho illustrates exactly what mean. The Indian lives in quiet and solitude His atmosphere is not filled with noises and tympanum piercing sounds Consequently ho does not have to elevate his voice in carrying on conversation. Your city arab, the counterpart of the Indian, talks loud enough when ho comos to Arkansas to be heard in the next county. "-St. Louis Republic

rhnIr., First snooessea.

Thiers' great achievement at Aix was in winning a prize offered by the acad- emy for an essay on Vauvenargues. The way in which this prize was secured was characteristic of Thiers. He wrote one essay which would have been suo- oessful but for the fact that 1t was known to be his. The essays were sent anonymously, but Thiers had been un- able to refrain from reading his to lit erary society. The royalists on the com mittee, knowing it's authorship, were unwilling to grant it the prize and post poned the decision. Thiers at once wrote another in a different style, which Mig net copied and sent in anonymously. This essay won the prize, and the whole town laughed at the clever scheme. The money which he received enabled him to go to Paris
 He had hoped to practice law, but found he had not money enough to be admitted to the Paris bar. He tried uD- successfully writing, fan painting and the duties of a private secretary, but earned barely enough to keep from starving in his garret. Finally he got a chance to write for The Constitutionnel. The editor, to whom he had an intro duction, had thought to get rid of him by asking him to write a review of the salon for that year. He supposed that Thiers must fail in such task. The artistic taste which had been developed at Aix. made this review a literary event. While doing justice to David 6 great service to French art in the past Thiers urged emancipation from the letters with which David had bound the French school and in contrast called attention to Delacroix, then an unknown painter. This single article did much for French art and also secured the au- thor a position as a journalist.-Chau- tAuqnan.

Civilization In France, A. ID. 1917.

Marshal d d'Ancre was assassinated in the streets of Vitry April a., 1917. Tho people of Franco have always been look ed upon as fairly well civilized at that time. Yet this Is what these civilized Frenchmen did. They dug up the corpse of D'Ancre, dragged it through the streets to the Pont Neuf, where they hung it up by the feet. Then 1t was dragged through the streets again to the Place de Greve. D'Ancre, or what was left of him. was dismembered and chop ped to pieces, the crowds fighting for morsels of the "excommunicated Jew, |" as they called him. His entrails were thrown into the river, his ears were sold to the best burger, and what was left was burned in front of the statue of Henri ". Most horrible of all, his heart was torn out, cooked and eaten by these hu- man wolves The next day the dead marshal's ashes wcro offered for sale on the streets, while his wife was accused of sorcery, dragged to the bastile and her head hacked off.-Pittsburg Dis match

The Onaen of areece.

It is said by lady who recently wis ited Greece and had the honor of meet ing the royal family that perfect har- mony exists between them, and the king and queen are devoted to their children
 The queen is still a very beautiful wom- an and the only lady admiral in the world. She holds this rank in the Rus sian army, an honorary appointment conferred on her by the late czar because her father, held the rank of high ad- miral and for the reason that she is a very capable yachtswoman. The king has very remarkable memory, an in- teresting personality, and is a brilliant oonversationalist. He goes about the streets of Athens without any attend ants and talks with any friend he chances to meet. Prince George is very attractive, and his feats of strength, shown often in the cause of ohivalry, are continuous subject of conversation among the people.

The disgusting form of preserving hon. or in some parts of Europe was more than exemplined Sunday by the duel, fought with swords, between the Count of Turin, nephew of King Humbert, and Prince Henri of Orleans, of France. It seems that Prince Henri had made a statement that was offensive to the Italian army, and the Count of Turin demanded re- traction, which was not made, and then arrangements were made for the duel. Prince Henri received two serious wounds, one in the right breast, and the other in tho abdomen. The Count of Turin was wounded in the right hand. As the Prince was seriously wounded the combat was stopped by common accord.

perfectly natural that while land is cheap.
The newcomer should look ahead and desire
to make provision for the time when his

themselves This feeling is commendable

is more satisfaction IN the ownership Of

This disposition 10 buy more land than

settlers TO saddle themselves with debts
