Once in great while Mr. Blynkins de-
velops an impression that he is wiser than
his wife. This state of mind is only occa-
sional, owing to the completeness of dem
onstrations to the contrary which almost
invariably follow it. The baby had been
crying. All her efforts to soothe it had been
vain, and enally Mr.. Blynkins laid down
the book Sc reading he had interrupt
ed two or three times page to cast blame
full glances and said:
You are not adopting the method like
lest to quiet the child. You have been
humming to it, but what the child needs
is music Give him to me and III show
you what l mean. "
He took the child and proceeded to chant
lullaby. The little one stopped crying and
stared at him.
"Therel" said Mr.. Blynkins as he
reached the end of a verse. what he
wanted was music, real music. OF course
the fact that l used to sing in glee club
and had my voice cultivated may make a
difference too"

AGRICULTURAL BULLETIN.
Interesting Letters From Hancock
County Farmers.


The fourth bulletin of the State board
of agriculture for the season Of 1898 is de-
voted principally to stock farming. 1t
contains the following letters from Han
cock county farmers:
ORLAND-In regard to stock, | think a
farmer should keep variety. He should
have good many strings to his bow. He
should keep according to the needs of the
locality, always keeping in mind the
dairy, which is surely one Of the most
profitable branches in these days of cream
cries, where cream finds ready sale at
fair profit. But the farmer should not de-
vote his whole energies to the dairy, for
there are other branches that can be made
profitable. In order to keep his lands in
thrifty condition he should keep all the
stock he can raise sustenance for, and
manufacture all the dressing possible.
Any farm will produce well if kept well
fertilized. Get it well fertilized and keep
it so. Don't let it go back on you, for it is
expensive to restore WORKOUT land. When
once in good condition it is quite easy to
keep it so. By all means produce your
own fertilizers and save the expense of
buying, for by this so much is gained.
1t is what we save that helps the bank ac-
count. What we spend has to be earned
ing in the right direction. A. H. DRESSER.
farms are the rule and prices usually low
for beef animals, it would not seem to
promise much profit to raise animals for
beef. Dairy stock, however, always pays,
meaning not the old fashioned scrub COW
to make five pounds of butter per week
and go dry ten or twelve weeks, but the
up-to- date animal. There is usually a
good market for butter, except, perhaps, a
little while in July and August, but the
summer people at that time make mar
ket for milk and cream in their localities,
which goes to offset the slack demand for
butter. There has been great improve
ment in the dairy stock for the past few
years and some of the finest strains in the
State are represented here now, but still
many cling to the old traditions. One
thing is sure, every one who raises hay
ought to keep stock enough to eat it, if he
wants to keep his field in good condition.
Grain feeds to supplement the hay ration
can be bought here as cheap as they can
be raised, potatoes and hay being the
staple farm products. Almost every stock
keeper raises little fodder corn, or some
thing of that kind, for fall feed, and a
large proportion feed grain rations in
winter with profit. Silos are not used
here at all. II. S. WARREN.

"Ah," the fond mother sighed; "you

will never get old. Any one can see at a

PRESENT-DAY THOUGHTS.
Copyrighted by Dave & Tabor.
BY G. GRosvENoR DAVE.

1t is well for us who feel that we are
right in favoring international arbiSra-
ton, to remember that it is bound to en-
counter stubborn opposition. Yet this is
only part of the conflict that has always
been waged, and whose issues are pro-
gress. On the one side the children of
dawning light have ever favored moving
out of the old ways into the new; on the
other side has been the cry of the conser-
vative: "Our fathers did not do so we will
follow in their steps!"
And so between the play of progressive
ness and reaction there has been gradual
and lasting movement forward. Opposi
ton should be welcomed as serving to
clarity thought in regard to our belief, and
therefore as holding down the desire for
change to those advances that are FEAST
bic and wise.
In order to be properly patient with OPP
position, we must remember that the
world has passed through a number of
stages of development; and that there
always lap over into the latter some who
belong to the earlier ones. Thus, though
the men who rejoice in slaughter live
under the peaceful benefits of our modern
ing back in the time when life was lightly
esteemed, when the glory of strength was
not to restrain ones self but to crush the
weak, when the weak had no rights save,
as 1t were, to gnaw discarded bones be-
meath the tables Of the muscular.
In relation to war these jewellers in past
ages use all sorts of specious arguments to
conceal their lack of progress. They say
that war brings out fine qualities, which
at once confirms our belief regarding the
backwardness of these men, for the world
has grown towards the tineness of vision
that sees heroism in the undramatic, I'M
praised doing of duty; in the patient love
of burdened mothers; in the silent battle
fields of the heart where fights with bad
impulses are waged. Compared with these
things, the heroism of war is purely occa-
sional and casual. No praise is too high
for such an incident as the Hobson one at
Santiago, but such incidents multiplied
a hundred fold would not equal the hero
ism of daily life that any country side or
city could show.
These opponents of ours also say that
war has always been and therefore always
will be. This is an inconclusive argument.
The eternal hills We're here before us, but
it is the glory of man to change the face of
nature to suit his needs. The hills he can
rend, the valleys he can fill the rivers he
can turn. lnfantile ignorance always has
been equally dense, but it is the crown of

our race that a child mind starting now
as feebly as that of any antedilGvian in
FAINT, in few years can stand on the apex
Of human thought. Darkness always has
been, but by fat, by candles, by lamps, by
gas, by electricity have we successfully
conquered it and turned its hours into
use and stimulus.
The thing that always has been has no
promise of always being of lasting and es-
sential value; else would these legs of ours
still remain our only method of progress
sion. So may we dare to hope that wal
will be purely transitory in its benefit. On
the other hand | would not insist that
arbitration would be sure to usher in a
new heaven and new earth. 1t would
simply prove another one of those slow
but permanent steps by which the race
has climbed away from the bone splitting
savagery OF the cave dweller towards the
standard of a creature that is upright
thoughtful, regardful of others.

The Climate of the Philippines.

In regard to the climate which for
eigner encounters, it is easy to exaggerate
its discomforts; although it is tropical,
still even in summer the climate may be
called healthy. From December to March
there are warm days, with cool nights and
little rain. During March, April and May
the days are hot, dry and dusty, while the
thermometer rises to 96o at noon; but the
nights are not uncomfortable. In the
latter part of May and of June there are
thunder-storms every afternoon with
tremendous doWnpour of rain. The
greatest heat occurs in these months, the
thermometer rising frequently to 1859 i'll
the shade.
Jaly, August and September are the
months of the great typhoons, and while
Manila escapes the greatest fury of these,
still enough of their force remains to de-
molish many houses. During October and
November storms lessen in severity, and
the weather gradually settles into the fine
days of ecember.-ISaac N. Elliott, in

In brief, arbitration and civilization are
alike in meaning 1.-The greatest good for
the greatest number" Arbitration has
involved in it the deepest yegard for the
mass of nation. In the dark ages the
whims of choleric rulers were the arbiters
of national fate. We, the people with new
hopes and new ideals, have changed all
that; and we protest against any back
ward steps.

Another most common and shallow ar
gument in favor of war is that it clears off
surplus population and thus eases up some
of the competition of life. There are sew
eral strong replies to this uncompassionate
view of the matter. First, let us say that
no civilized nation selects the tramp or
aged element to fight it's battles. In our
own case, particularly, instead OF the
army being made up even Of off-scourings
Of the population, it is in its entirety
carefully selected body from walks of life
that are lucrative. II, therefore, in any ma
ton the proof of eased competition should
be forthcoming, surely 1t should be in ours.
Yet granting that a series Of disasters,
quite beyond all imagining, should re-
remove $1,000 men year, it would be
solely one fourteen hundredth of the
whole and therefore purely intinitesimal
in its influence upon the crowded and
strained conditions of life. Let it be I'M
derstood, however, that instead of condi-
tions being rendered easier for those who
remain, the real fact would be that upon
the toilers is placed new class of nom
producers to sustain.
Our war budget will amount almost to
q 900, 900 day. The total of this huge
sum will be cheerfully met by our enlight-
ened population, because we are by force
teaching humanity to a nation that is I'M
approachable by modern thought; but
our cheerfulness does not conjure away
the burden OF meeting such an expendi-
ture. 1t is a very real one that affects even
the smallest of us. And to the extent to
which we each feel it, to that extent does
an army make it harder for us to live
Last but not least, these men who talk
SO tlippantly of surplus population, ever
wriggle or attempt to wriggle when asked
to explain what they mean by the term.
One thing about the argument is rea-
sonably clear: that the surplusage is al
ways in the family of another man. So
long as mother hearts can love, so long as
fat love is strong there will never be a
conscious Willingness to have the family
group reduced and thus are we led to un
derstand the selfish supremacy of these
friends of fighting who calmly welcome
the reduction of neighbours household.
