But you are not all disillusioned by
Capt. Pabst's bulky purchase. = You
start out impressed by the scintillating
price he paid for it, and the fact that it
is really the most costly volume in the
world, at least without age to back it;
you stumble at the first egotistic biog-
raphy, and then fall down over a blot
ted platitude above an ideal signature;
then you find Church's little sketch of
fair woman and a tawny lion, or the
girl Gibson drew on purpose for it, or
the bit of sword motif notated by De,
Reszke, and life gets presentable again.
To 60 back just for a minute to it's
reason for being: The sum paid for it
by Capt. Pabst completes a fund of $780,
900, which Mrs. Lydia Ely, of Milwau-
kee, raised alone for the soldiers monu-
ment. The bronze, completed in Rome
last June by John Severino Conway, to
whom the work was intrusted, was
unveiled in June, and is one of the fin
est monuments in the United States
commemorative of the soldiers of the
civil war. The raising of the amount

3 It takes close calcula ting these days
to bring financial success, and anyone
will have made q long step toward suc-
cess when he shall have adopted some
style Of bookkeeping, and the more thor
ough the better. And why? Because
our Judgment will SO often be at fault,
while if we have the facts and figures
we cannot very easily be misled. Take
for instance a herd Of dairy cows.
There is not in all probability any two
that will test the same. The best cow
in the herd to our notion may be kept
at a loss. Yet.we will continue to think
she is the best unless we apply the test,
Up to date farming demands that we
keep strict account not only with the
herd as whole, but with each individ-
ual COW. So that there may be .
constant weeding-out process of all i'll

grading up with superior cows. ..ss.
The same will hold good in the swine
herd. There are some sows that are
much better than others. This is to be
determined by their docility, their pro.
likeness and their ability to transmit
good feeding qualities to their off.

good as we'll. I believe the best author
ity claims we should make mutton first
in Importance and wool secondary. To
cross the common ewes with some good
mutton breed is considered on good
authority to be the way to obtain the
desired end. Poultry, too, must be

wish to pay the mortgage off this year
By all means get some thoroughbred
cockerels at least. Many think that
horses are not in it any more, but that
is certainly mistake. If you have
a good mare and breed to a thorough

mind that we must do better this yea,
than ever before. Excel must be ou1
watchword, and there is no excellence
without great labor. To all this we
must add careful outstanding of al
resources. That is, we must save all
we make by taking care to spend wise.
ly, allowing nothing to go to waste OF
to be foolishly thrown away. And il
all this we only reiterate the starting
asseveration of careful calculation. Mix
ed or diversity farming is the best in
my opinion, and gives better chance
to win at all times because ones ''eggs
are not all in one basket" If ont
branch fails another will win, and thus
tide over. But in mixed farming one

Said to BE a Good Berry,

A writer in the New York Tribune
praises the Logan berry highly. It il
called a blackberry, but it is claimed to
be cross between the wild blackberry
and the red Antwerp raspberry, COM
bining the desirable qualities of both.
1t originated in California some ten
years ago. The flavor of the fruit is
unique, and unlike that of any other
variety. It is very hardy and prolific,
and fruit bears transportation well.
The canes are. strong and Of low growth,
and are destitute of thorns, so that
hands and clothing are not torn in pick
ing the fruit. 1t is as excellent for pre-
serving as for table use, all of which and
much more he takes column to tell.

The clerk took it from the case. It was
