world by two men who had so much to
do with the molding OF the literature

10 days before Morris, on March 8. 1884.
and be died but four days after him; so
that these two great men, who lived
more than 81 years, were on the earth
for exactly the same time, with the ex-
ception of less than three weeks, both
being born in March, 1884, and dying
in October, 1886. Similarly, both Sir
John Millais and the archbishop or
Canterbury, who have died within
month or two Of each other, were born
in 1899. 1t is one Of the most striking
events in the long history Of the arch
bishops of Canterbury that the late
archbishop, who was one OF Mr.. Glad
stones appointments and afterward di-
verged from him in political opinions,

CLIPPINGS.

The assistant dairy commissioner OF
Minnesota advocates n legal standard OF
81 per cent OF butter fat for butter.
0vermuch water in butter finds little
favor ut the present time.
The day Is past for the shiftless or
the hsppy-go-lucky farmer. Ii takes u
skilled workman and a scientist now,
and likewise a good business man, TO
compete 10 agriculture.
Edward Atkinson makes the statement
that the product Of the hen In the United
States is OF greater value than all the
iron products of the furnace; that 1t is
twice the value OF the wool and three or
four times the value Of the silver mines
OF the country.
Butter is more liable to injury from
too much working than from too little.
The old idea Is no longer in vogue that
We must work butter until every vestige
of grain is destroyed. Buttermilk
should be washed out while the butter Is
still in the granular form, and very lit
tie work Is needed TO get rid OF the
brine.
Misdireeted economy sometimes leads
a farmer to do more lifting than his
strength will bear, and the result is a
lame back or kidney trouble; or he
may be doing without proper teeth TO
masticate his food, and his system suffers
in that way; or again, he may feel that
he has two days. work to do in one, In
order TO make both ends meet, and thus
bring the beginning aud ending OF bis
days uneomfortably near each other.
These are questions Of economy that
should be studied. and none needs to do
it more than the farmer. Self preserva-
ton should be to him ''first law

The mud baths which are famous for
their curative effects are only to be had
in two places in the world-here and at
Carlsbad, Germany-and it has been
shown that the mud found at the hot
springs OF New Mexico and which is
used in giving the baths is Of the same
chemical composition as that Of Carls-

formation of this mud or peat It il
formed by the vegetation which has
been washed down from the hills prob
ably century ago, and which, settling
among the rocks, has become decomposed
and formed into q substance which is
practically carbon impregnated with
salts, magnesia, soda, lithia and various
other Ingredients.

SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE.

Hon. James Wilson Of Iowa, who is 70
take the portfolio Of agriculture 10
President-elect McKinley's cabinet, Is 4
Scotchmsn by birth. He was born In
Ayrshire. Scotland, Aug. l6, 1875. His
parents came TO America when he was
l6 years Of age, and located on farm
in Connecticut. Four years later they
Joined the tide that was then flowing to
the undeveloped West, and took up land
In Toma County, Iowa, and at once en-
gagged in farming. A Scotchman's love
for live stock led him TO make stock hus-
bAndry a leading feature OF his farming.
Under such surroundings the young
man attained his majority. He acquired
his education at the public schools and
lows College, but, IL is said, graduated
between the plow handles" As boy
IL was said Of him, that with a Scotch
mans pride "he could turn furrow as
straight as line, repeat more than half
Of Burns poems, or make better
speech on the political issues OF the day
than any man in the county" His
ability and practical good sense were
early recognized, and he served six years
in the Iowa legislature, one year OF the
time as speaker OF the house. He also
served with credit as the farmer member
Of the first Iowa Railroad Commission.
He also served six years In congress,
where his services In the interest OF agri-
culture and In securing congressional
aid for stamping out pluro-pneumonis
in cattle were highly recommended.
While in congress he presented the bill
whose passage created the office he Is
now called upon 10 fill.
He has always been leader in educa-
tional affairs, having served as trustee
OF Iowa State University, also Of Coe
College and Western College. In 1891
he was elected director OF the Iowa
experiment station, and professor Of
agriculture In. the Iowa Agricultural
College, position he has since filed
with eminent ability.
He is thoroughly familiar with the
agriculture OF the country in all its
phases. His appointment meets general
approval. Maine Farmer.

Boarding School Food.

In The Marian, Du Maurier tells OF
the sort Of food supplied at French
boarding schools, and by no means
overrates its superior excellence. In no
other country outside OF France does
the nutrition Of growing youth receive
higher consideration. III the meals
served nc schools there be compared
with those given at similar institutions
IN England, the merit Of the French
system will bo apparent The simple
first breakfast OF coffee and rolls, the
second consisting Of hOrs d'9uyres,
dish Of meat or fish, one vegetable. sal
ed and sweet, and the dinner at D
O'Clock Of similar composition. with
the addition Of soup, supply just what
is needed TO encourage mental effort
and satisfy physical well being. In
England an entirely different system il
i'm vogue. Breakfast at an English
boarding school is a substantial meal.

consists OF fish. ham or bacon, eggs and

half THe COWS woRTALsss.'


It may be that progress in greater
knowledge and better practice Is fastened
by wild and reckless statements thrown
out broadcast. but we never have been
convinced of il. The editor Of one Of the
leading dairy journals states that ''if one
half of the cows now giving milk, intelli-
gently selected for that purpose, could
be slaughtered within week, the re-
manning half would yield q greater profit
than is now realized from the whole"
This Is sweeping charge. IL may be
true of the states OF the Mississippi
valley. but IL is not Of New England.
There are poor cows in Eastern herds,
and there is still good cause for wedding.
but there is no such proportion that are
not paving their way as the charge
claims. A COW yielding two hundred
pounds OF butter in Il year. or its equiv
slent In milk, will pay her way. One
giving two hundred and fifty pounds of
butter Yields fair profit 10 her owner.
We claim there are very few cows among
US. but well fed and carefully handled
will return their owners the two hun
dred pounds of butter. This leaves but
very few that are not paying their way,
and nothing like the proportion repre-
sented. Farmers are not SO stupid Ia
these things AS some seem 10 delight "a
represent them. There is need Of weed
ing out the poorest cows and always
will be. Farmers are doing it right
along, but there is no call 10 throw away
A half of them. There are herds yield
ing three hundred pounds of butter to
the COW, and dsirymen prefer that kind
But il all those that do not come up te
th4t standard were sent 10 the butcher
some of the people would have to g
without their butter and milk. Ths
aim should be all the while TO 90 up

WHY / IKE THE AYRSHIRE.

The following article, bearing title a.
above, is communicated to Canadian
exchange by Mr.. X. G.. Steacy, the well
known importer and breeder OF Maple
Grove Farm, Brockville, Ont:
"As dairy COW the Ayrshire has
come to stay. She Is the rent litter In
Scotland. Ia milking and producing
cheese and butter she cannot be excelled
and when her usefulness as such Is ex-
hsusted she IL easily converted into beef
For years she has been exported to Aus
trslia, Sweden, England, Canada, and
lately large expectations have been made
to South Africa and Ireland.
In general appearance "a to outline
and style she fairly surpasses all dairy
breeds. Returning to her general use
fulness, the most important considera-
ton Is her productiveness; and, when
feed ls estimated the Ayrshire fairly
leads. You often hear about large milk
and butter records, but never Of the
amount Of food required to produce such
record. With limited feed such records
are far below what extra feeding will
produce, and this Is where the Ayrshire
takes the lead. Feeding In the ordinary
way she excels them all. Ayrshires arc
great foragers and at milking time come
home with beautifully developed udders
full OF the choicest favored milk which
has for years raised healthy families and
stately queens.
Having decided to introduce into my
herd Of Ayrshires the best pedigreed
stock procurable in Scotland, was In
communication for pearly two years
with the largest and most noted and
reliable breeders In that country, from
whom gathered all possible informs-
ton as TO the most noted milk, butter
aud prize record animals. To secure
these choice strains | had to 60 down
deep into my pocket Ia order to have
the best in Scotland. In 1898 imported
ten heads, all with noted individual rec
ords; In 1894 imported the celebrated
May Queen, which had won twenty-one
first prizes and was reserved to compete
at Ayr, Scotland, for the challenge cup,
the first and only 2-year-old ever so hon.
ored. With her was imported the stock
bull Carlyle OF Iessnessock, first prize
winner at Glasgow, the only time he was
ever exhibited. His granddsm, Hillhead
OF Lessnessock. has never been defeated
in milk and butter contests 10 Englsnd
and Scotland with all other breeds Of
dairy stock, and has won more gold
medals, cups and money prizes than any
Ayrshire ever exhibited. As head OF a
herd he has no equal. His sire was
;hirty-eight times champion"
