MERITS OF THE MOCoAsIN,
The Indian Foot Covering Far supe-
rior to the Shoe of Civilization.

The Indian Foot covering F0r SupeS
rior to the Shoe of Civilization.
From the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Moccasins are torture to the tender
foot" but after a few days trial the feet
harden, the tendons learn to do their prop
er work without artificial heels, and one
finds that he can travel farther in mecca
sins than in any kind of boots or shoes.
The fear of bruising your feet is mostly
imaginary, for after they have enjoyed
the freedom of naturaa covering these
hitherto laundering members become like
hands, that can feel their way in the dark
and avoid obstacles as though gifted with
a special sense. You can climb in mecca
sins as in nothing else; You can cross slip
perry logs like a cat; you can pass in safe
ty along treacherous slopes where hob
nails certainly would bring you to grief.
I once tested the comparative merits of
moccasins and shoes in a peculiar way. A
party of us had been hunting in the Ar
kansas swamps When the time came for
us to return we We're obliged to walk six
teen miles to the nearest railway station.
We arose an hour before daybreak, ate a
hasty breakfast, hunted deer all forenoon,
and were quite tired when we assembled
for lunch. At l O'Clock we started on that
long tramp all of US wearing shoes. Sew
eral of the men soon got aboard the crazy
wagon that was carrying our outfit, but the
guide and 1 stuck it OUT till we reached
the nearest settlement, twelve miles from
the abandoned camp. BY this time my
feet were cruelty CALLED, and it seemed inn
possible for me to journey further
But when the wagon came up I exchang-
ed my shoes for a pair of thick moccasins
which I had worn when still-hunting in
the Overflow" The relief was SO great
that / could hardly refrain from kicking
up my heels like colt our course for
the last four miles ran over an abandoned
railway track unballasted. There could
have been no worse path for pedestrian.
We were delayed at the settlement, the

than the rest Now, its just there l ex-
pect that a great piece has broken off and
drifted away; and l calculate twas lower
and more shelving off-not so steep and
rocky-like as it is now. Twas there that
poor chap was cast ashore from ship or
boat He was trying to make his way up
to the hlgnts to look round and hoist
signal, when he lay down and went asleep,
and never woke again; only, where he is
now. YOU see, must have been covered
with snow then, or he couldn't have kept
his footing.
Having said this, the old boatswain re
placed his quid In his mouth and walked
forward.
'SThere was no earthly use in lingering
round, and yet the captain seemed loath to
start away. If the poor fellow had a
spark of life in him, | suppose he would
have moved before this, he said; but sup
posing he did move, 1t would only be to
slide down over the precipice, unless his
clothes is frozen fast to the ice. | don
see any more of 'em, and we couldn't
get 'em off if we did, Then a thought
struck him, and he gave orders to get the
forward gun ready. When it was loaded
he said Fire. and in a few seconds a
loud echo resounded from the icy wall
For an instant afterwards all was still, and
then came a noise like a rafting of loud
thunder, proceeding from the center of the
berg.
''The danger of our proximity to this
vast object now became more and more ap-
parent, and the captain put on full speed
for a good offing We had barely proceed
ed a quarter of a mile, when the same
noise was heard again, only louder more
prolonged, and accompanied by a rending,
crushing sound. The huge ice island was
parting in the middle, down the course of
the deep valley 1 have already mentioned.
Slowly and majesticaly the eastern half
rolled over into the sea, upheaving what
had been it's base, in which were imbed-
ded great masses of rock covered with sea-
weed. The other part of the berg still re-
NAMED erect, but was swaying to and fro
as if it also must capsize. This convul-
sion caused less foam and tossing than
might have been supposed, but raised a
wave of such tremendous magnitude that
when it reached our steamer she seemed
about to be overwhelmed by a rolling
mountain of water. But our good ship rose
upon it's crest and before again sinking
into the hollow we saw the man upon the
iceberg-still in the same posture-glide
swiftly down the slippery incline, shoot
over the edge of the precipice and plunge
into the raging surf.
"A sensation of inexpressible relief was
experienced by all of us. 1t had seemed SO
dreadful to steam away and leave him
there, unbured and alone, but now, at any
rate, the poor sailor had been given a
grave in the sea, the sepulcher of so many
of his fellows"

The Leading School

Jasper Normal Institute will be-
gin its seventh year September,
IS, 1896. The last year has been
the most prosperous in the history
of the school. The enrolment of
students outside of Jasper was $50,
more than most of the colleges of
Florida had for their total enroll
ment.
The students of Jasper Normal
are expected to devote the greater
part of theiro time to intellectual
growth. The management of the
school consider life too short and
duties too pressing to fritter away
half or more of students time
swinging clubs, handling a gun or
kicking a ball. The demand Of
the age is educated brain rather
than professional athletes.
Jasper Normal offers a variety
Of courses. In every course the
work is OF high order Of excel
lencc. None but good teachers
are employed. It is the ambition
Of the faculty to do more for the
young men and women under their
charge than is done ct any other
school In the state for students,
The constant increase in attend.
auce tells how well they have sue
ceeded.
The health record of Jasper Nor,
NAL cannot be excelled. In six
years there has been but one death
in Jasper Of persons between SIX
and twenty-one years of age and
that one was struck by lightning,
Normal students board with the
best private families of Jasper al
$40 per month.
Bear in mind that Jasper Normal
is not little village school but a
school enrolling twice as many
students every year as is done al
most Florida colleges. The work
is superior in every department
the behavior of the students is un
excelled.
Ample buildings, good library
abundant apparatus, healthful sur
roundings, low expenses, and supe
rior instructions are few of the
many reasons why parents should
send their sons and daughters tc
Jasper for an education.

Enemies of Plant Lice.

Plant lice, like most insects. have GER
tain natural enemies that tend to keep
them in check. Prominent among these
are the parasitic and predaceous insects.
The former are very minute creatures, re-
sembling wasps, which usually lay their
eggs upon the lice. These eggs hatch into
small maggots. which enter the bodies of
the lice where they feed upon the body
Juices until they are full grown. They
then transform to pupae within the body
of their host, from which they finally
emerge by cutting a round hole through
the body of the louise. Close examination
Of a colony of most any louise will re-
veal several yellowish or brownish re-
mains of individuals which have sue
oumbed to parasitism The predaceous
insects live by actually feeding upon the
lice. The ladybirds or ladybugs are, by
far. the most important factors in the de-
struction of plant lice, as both the adults
and young feed ravenously upon them.
There is q notion prevalent in some parts
of the state that ladybrds, in some way
or other, produce plant lice. Natural laws

What Mikes the Profitable Cow.

We are often asked, how much milk
must COW give, or, how much should a
COW test, in order to be profitable? We re-
ply to these questions, by saying that
neither quantity nor quality Is a sufficient
as for answering. The recent tests of
cca 5 at the New England fair Portland,
Me-, affords a conspicuous Illustration of
this fact. as also of the other fact that
one-day tests may be greatly misleading.
At that fair, one COW, Addie Ackley, an
A. j. C. C. Jersey, gave 1913 pounds of
milk; another cow, Eunice, a Maine State
Jersey, gave 2S7 pounds of milk Which is
the better COW? The probabilities are, that
the former made much the best show in
the ring, and would score several points
more than her competitors, because of her
carrying much larger udder. This would
be especially the case with the average
observer, or any but truly experienced
expert, and more especially with any one
who should attempt to form a judgment
by the scale of points" recommended by
the Jersey Cattle club, for judging Jer
seys, where IS points are given 10 fore
udder, full in form, but not heshyi" IL
points to a hind udder, full in form and
well up behind 10 points to "teats rather
large, wide apart, and squarely Placed"
and points to milk veins prominent"
Here are 80 points, out of a possible 100,
given to the milk vessel and its appurten-
ances, and 1t IS not unreasonable to sup
pose that the COW giving 40 pounds of milk
in twenty-four hours, would score much
higher than the COW giving 30 pounds or
less and hence be pronounced the better
cow.
When, however the milk of these cows
was tasted, it appeared that the greater
quantity had only per cent fat in it.,
while the less quantity carried 81 per
cent. Too many men would hastily con-
clude that the higher testing cow was
decidedly the better of the two, and in
fact she did yield trifle more fat, but
scarcely more than enough to compensat tie
for what she lost in the value of her skim
milk. In truth, so far as the one-day ex-
pertinent could show, these two cows were
so nearly equal in the money value of
their product that there was no room left
for choice. A decision based upon either
the quantity or quality of the milk would
have been decidedly misleading. Only
when both are considered can a reliable
conclusion be reached.
We have said above that the tests at
this fair show that one-day tests may also
be misleading One of the Jerseys entered
In the butter-producing contest gave but
80 pounds of milk, and this milk tasted
only "a per cent. fatAthus making a total
yield of less than one quarter of pound
of fat, and an Ayrshire entered into the
milk producing contest, gave only 8
pounds. 1t is inconceivable that any man
could be so deceived as to enter cows in
milk and butter contests that did not hab-
itually- do much better than this. There
was apparently a good many other sur
prises to the owners of cows, both in the
quantity and quality of the milk obtain
ed from their cows-EXchange.

IN spring, the time left within which TO
plant crops with the greatest probability
OF successful growth is very short. and
work has TO be rushed from morning TO
night, with much of it, as consequence,
only partially and very ineffectively done
For these and other reasons. which We
propose to consider and discuss during the
fan months, we strongly urge q careful
utilization of the opportunities of the fall.
During this month the work of compet-
ing the harvesting of the crops should
first receive attention. In our last issue
we discussed the question of the harvest
ing of the corn crop, and to that article
We refer our readers. Let every effort be
made to save not only the corn, but the
stalks as we'll; not merely the blade fod
der, but the whole stalks with the blades
upon them. In these are to be found one
half of the feeding value of the corn crop
and no farmer can afford to waste one
half his crop.
