NO GREATNESS IN SPAIN.
DIR. BurreII Explains the Trouble
with the CastiIian Race.

DIR. BurrelI Explains the Trouble
with the Castilian Race.
DR.. David James Burrell, pastor of
the Marble Collegiate Church, New
York. said, in sermon on "The Dig
nifty of Labor: THE effect of indo-
lence upon nation finds an apt illus
tration in Spain. No country on earth
has richer soil. They say, IF you
tickle it with a hoe it will laugh with
harvest. But unfortunately for the
Castilian race they have prejudice
against the hoe. They are given to
bull fighting and fan flirting and love
making. Once there were 10000 viii
lagos along the Guadalquver; now
there are but 800. The land has fallen
into innocuous desuetude
THE people are a race of beggars
more or less respectable. There is no
greatness in Spain. If the kingdom
were to perish from the earth it would
leave no laws, no literature, nothing
as legacy to posterity. The pride of
the Spaniards is vast and ludicrous.
Their strength has been buster for
centuries. Little Holland, with less
than three millions of people, fought
Spain, one generation taking up the
fight where the last had left it, until
Philip III. begged for an armistice.
They are unable even to subdue Cuba.
Poor, famished Cubai What a pathet-
ic farce is this, that the grandees of
Spain, with their armies, should be sue
cessfully resisted by a few brave ISL
anders whose ranks are decimated by
slaughter, famine and plague!
eve, on the contrary, have been de-
rided as a nation of shopkeepers and
artisans. Our glory is in the truth
of that imputation Alasl for us, when
we consent to look on labor with Span
ish eyesi If war must be declared
against Spain-which God forfend-let
us rejoice that a call for volunteers
would be answered as it was when
Lincoln made his historic appeal for
a hundred thousand more, not by
volunteers from the street corners and
the drawing rooms, but from the fields
and the work shops Here is the source
OF our greatness; here is the hope of
our perpetuity The true American is
neither the almstaker nor the gentle
man of leisure"

The illustration is timely and it is
to be hoped that every owner of stock
of any kind will devote some portion
of his ground to growing root crops
the next season. They are easily
raised, but require for the best results
a fairly heavy soil, moderately rich.
Figure represents the Colossal Red
Mangel, which is especially valuable
to dairymen, being as enormous crop
per. Figure is Golden Tankard Man
gel, fne-grained and more delicate
variety than the first named and is
especially good for feeding sheep and
new mich COWS. Figure 8 is Long
Island Improved Ruta Baga Turnip, a
favorite with growers near New York;
figure Danvers half-long Scarlet Car
rot, a fine rich orange red vegetable
valuable for stock feeding and popular
in the market for cooking purposes.
Figure is Improved Short White Car
rot, claimed by many dairymen to be
preferable for feeding to the yellow
or orange varieties. 1t is easily
grown, adapting itself readily to ordin-
airy soils if fairly rich, and yielding
enormously. Figure 6 is Long Island
Orange Carrot, and is doubtless the
best of all late varieties for general
field culture. It is a good keeper, re-
tains its bright orange color through
the winter and is thus at all times
saleable

To Prevent HOE ChoIera.


The chief of the bureau of animal
industry, DIR. D. E. Salmon, has sub
mitted to Secretary Wilson a report
upon the experiments made in the
treatment of hogs for hog cholera with
anti-toxine serum. This serum is
made upon the same principle as the
anti-toxine of diphtheria.
Good serum has been obtained from
both horses and cattle, a horse or COW
being inoculated with the hog cholera
virus in small quantities at first, and
with larger doses after suitable inter
walls of time. The resistance of the
animal is thus raised to the highest
practicable point. The blood of such
an animal when injected under the
skin of swine has been found to pos
sess both a preventative and curative
action.
This serum was first tested upon
small animals in the laboratory and
being found ef1cacious, was last fall
tested in Page county. Iowa, on sew
eral herds of swine, containing alto
gether 27S animals. Leaving out one
herd. from which definite returns as to
cause of death could not be obtained,
only thirty-nine died out of 244 ami
mails treated, of which eighty-six were
sick.
DR.. Salmon believes that with ex-
perience better quality of serum can
be prepared and he has no doubt that
this percentage can be maintained
hereafter.

GOOD FOOD FOR STOCK.

Root Crops That Are Valuable as
Part of the RatiOns.
The accompanying sketch shows the
formation of several of the most valu-
able root crops grown for profit in sale
or for feeding to stock. AS part of
the rations for stock and especially for
cows, the various root crops have been
found not only valuable, but in most
cases essential to the well being of
the animals. They not only give var
Iety to the food, but are valuable "sys-
TEN regulators" and that they are
necessary to the health of the cow is
proven by the greed with which they
eat them, often leaving the best Of

Whereas, the season has returned

when from the early days Of our colon

this commonwealth to set apart day
to be observed in church and home,
with praise and Thanksgiving to God
for all the mercies of the year, and
whereas, this custom, hallowed by
tradition, and embedded in the affec-
ton of the people, serves to remind us
of our continued dependence upon the
Lord who hath helped US hitherto, as
well as to strengthen the love which
should unite families and cause US to
remember the poor;

advice and consent Of the council APP
point Thursday, the Gath day of No
vember, current, as a day of remem-
brance and thanksgiving.
For abundant harvests, for increas-
ed national prosperity and improved
credit for a nation once more, after
many years, united in heart and pur-
pose for the success of our arms in a
Just and humane cause, for every act
of valor in battle, and of masnanimtty
to the VanquiShed, may our grateful
homage ascend to him who is the God
of nations and the Lord of Hosts May
we tenderly remember those who have
given their lives in their country's SER

and their sacrifice shall not be unheed-

honorable and righteous peace may

HOW ONE ENGAGEMENT WAS
BROKEN.
(From the Washington Post. }

(From the Washington Post.)
I don't know why the simple fact of
being In love should deprive people of
the vestige of common sense with
which nature, never over generous
with the rarest Of blessings, has en-
dowed them, but all by observation
TENDS to confirm me in the opinion that
1t does. For example, a man I know
is engaged to Georgetown girl. That
is, he was engaged to her up to a quar-
ter to 10 o'clock Thursday night, week
before last. He went out to call on
her. and-but first l must tell you that
she belongs to a Georgia family, and
he is from Boston, and both of them are
exceedingly proud of their birthplace
and ancestry. After few prelimina-
ries, said she to him:
'Oh, let's hear how fast you can say:
She sells sea Shells
So, of course, he said, "Se shells sea
SELLS" and ''She shells she Shells" and
"She sells she sells" and goodness only
knows what, till his tongue was so tan
gled up that his mouth was full of
knots. And she began to laugh, and
he told her to say it herself Then
they both went at it, and midway of
their sybillant mouthings somebody's
temper began to get frayed at the
edges. She said that Boston people
speak abominably, anyway and he re-
torted in quoque, about the Georgia di-
alect. From discussion of speech they
came to a discussion of manners, and
things were said which it were painful
to repeat. The engagement was bro
ken, as said, at 945 o'clock. 1t has
staid broken ever since The rupture
bids fair to be permanent And all
this misery because-well, because two

to be made temporarily feeble-minded

The STRONG MAN
OF GREECE.
A LESSON FOR WEAK
WOMEN.

The graceful Greciau women admired
the strength, combined with skill, which
was displayed to its highest perfection
in the athletes of their race. Among
the greatest of these athletes was Milo,
the man who carried an OK on his
shoulders. 1t was an age Of atheticism.
There We're giants in those days"
Doubtless many an athlete could have
showed thews as great as Bllo's. But
for all that Milo was the only man who
could shoulder the OK How was it
done? The athlete told the story HIM
self. He began with the OK when it
was q little calf, lifting It daily until It
became the ful1-grown, bulky beast which
he carried IN the arena.
Milo was an athletic specialist He
is typical of all specialists in that he sue
ceeded by doing the same thing over and
over day after day for years.
One of the greatest specialists of the
day is DR.. r. V. Pierce, chief consult
