Dana,s Tribute 10 the Bible.' :

One of the standard works on jour
nalism is that of Charles A. Dana on
"Art of Newspaper Making" In an.
swering the question. "What books
ought you to read?" Mr.. Dana paid
this tribute to the Bible:
"There are some books that are alb
solutely indispensable to the kind of
education that we are contemplating
and to the profession that we are con-
sidering, and of these the most iudis-
pensable, the most useful, the one
whose knowledge is most effective, is
the Bible. There is no book from
which more valuable lessons can be
learned.
II am consideringi it now not as reli-
gious book, but as manual of utility,
professional preparation and profess
ional use for q journalist. There is
perhaps no book whose style is more
suggestive and more ins ructive, from
which you can learn more directly
that sublime simplicity which never
exaggerates, which recounts the great
est events with solemnity, of course,
out without .entimentality or affecta-
ton; none which you open with such
confidence and. lay down with such
reverence. There is no book like the
Bible.
"When you get into controversy
and want exactly the right answer
when you are looking for an express
ion, what is there that closes dispute
like verse from the Bible? What is
it that sets up the principle for you,
which pleads for policy, for a cause,
so much as the right passage of Holy
Scriptures ?"

Doing Christ's Will.

I was called Unexpectedly a little
while ago to preach at an insane
asylum, and, in some embarrassment,
I asked the superintendent what sub
iect he would advise me to take for a
sermon.
With great emphasis he said,
"Preach on the great need of obed'
ience."
I asked him after the service how
much the inmates Of the asylum had
probably understood of the sermon,
and he answered: 'They understood
nearly all of it. Besides, you must
remember that there were more than
fifty of us, counting doctors and atten-
dants, who are sane, and I don't know
but what we need the doctrine of
obedience preached into US just as
much as the other people. 1 know
that disobedience to Gods laws has
brought most of these people into this
asylum, and the rest of us are in dam
ger of the same end if we do not learn
to obey the commands of God"

Wholesome Advice.

A bit of practical psychology for
every day: When you frown, you ag-
gravate the little worry; when you re-
lax the chest and shoulders in sign,
YOU throw away some nervous tone
when YOU let your senses dwell on an
irritating sound or slight pain al you you
really increase the shock to your
nerves by deepening its intensity.
And fortunately the reverse is true !;
simply relax the half-conscious tension
of the muscles in the forehead .. !, ana ,od
about the mouth and notice how much
more smoothly things go. When you
are walking along the street, full OF
business cares and strung up to a hig9
pitch, take a dozen long breaths ns ana
note the difference in your, temper.
About half the anxieties and worries
for which most people think spiritual
consolation and resignation are neces-
sary can be cured by absurdly simple
methods on which neither Delsarte
nor Horace Fletcher nor Mrs. Eddy
has any patent.

FUEL AND FOOD.

All manufacturers operating machin-
cry find it necessary to use fuel IN or
der to obtain motive power, and our
cow is no exception to the rule. There
were many days when Agnes ate ap-
proximately 15.5 pounds of digestable
dry matter and gave 20 pounds of l5.5
per cent. milk. Some of this food was
returned in the milk-solids, but the
larger part was burned as source OF
energy to run the cows machinery
and keep her body up to its normal
temperature.
We measure the energy OF food by a
heat unit, which We call calorie, this
representing the heat necessary to
warm one pound of water through
four degrees Fahrenheit. In terms OF
work. this heat is equivalent to l.53
foot tons, or the raising of l.53 tons to
the height of one foot. The available
energy in Agnes's daily food amount
ed to 90, 900 calories, or over $4,000 foot
tons. The energy of the daily milk
solids was about 5000 calories. leav-
ing $4,000 calories to be used to
run the manufacturing machinery and
furnish body heat. DR.. Armsby and
others have found that l l,00O.pound
steer, doing no work and making no
growth, needs daily energy equal to
$4,000 calories. and doubtless, our
COW under similar conditions when
not giving milk would need no more.
This leaves 5000 calories to be charged
up against the specific effort of milk
secretion. In other words, the work
of producing milk after allowing for
milk-solids and the usual wear and

COW AS A MANUFACTU RER.
What She Does with Her Food.

The term manufacturer is used here
in an illustrative way, and Is correctly
applied in the sense that the COW man
ufactures milk-solids out Of hay and
grain or other raw materials. How
many readers of the Press and Banner
fully appreciate the wonderful trans.
forming power OF the bovine mother,
which was given to her primarily that
she might feed her young, and which
mans skill in breeding has developed
far beyond the needs of its original
purpose? While I was at the Maine
Experiment Station, we carried on q
study of several dairy breeds. Among
the animals which were tested was q
little Jersey cow, Agnes, weighing
about $40 pounds. She was neither
remarkable nor unusual, but was sim
ply q high type animal, of which we
have in this country many equally as
good. take her as an illustration of
what COW can do, simply because we
measured her work, and I can refer to
her performance without danger Of er-
ror, and as one that is attainable by
first-class animals.
Between September 13, 1888, and
September 1s, 1890, Agnes gave 13,0sO
pounds of milk, containing 1875 lbs.
of solids, or 6,540 pounds of milk per
year, containing 9S7 pounds Of solids.
Taken as simple statement this pro-
duction seems scarcely worth comment
Let US look at it in the light of COM
parison. AS stated, this COW weighed
about $40 pounds. She was rather lean,
and her tissues undoubtedly contained
as large q proportion of water as
average "weIl-fed OK" so that the
dry matter in her entire body would
not be over 295 pounds. 1t is clear
then that Agnes manufactured In q
single year milk solids equivalent In
weight to the dry-matter in the bodies
of at least 3.4 COWS of her size and
composition.
It is also interesting to note how
this little cows productive capacity
measured up to that of her brother
steer. In 1895, the Maine Experiment
Station analyzed the entire bodies
(skin excepted) Of two steers weigh
ing alive 1900 pounds and 1880 lbs.
These animals were about 80 months
old. It was found that their bodies
COQCalueu no pouuuS anu 1to.o Poeoe
of solids, an average Of 462 pounds:
This puts the steer in rather bad
plight as manufacturer, for it shows
that it took him 2 34 years to construct
as large a quantity of animal solids as
the COW produced in about 5 3-5
months. But the case Is even worse
than this, for milk-solids are wholly
edible, whereas only 5S.3 per cent: of
the dry matter of these steers bodies
was found to be so. This being true,
and edible milk-solids having about
five-sixths the energy value Of edible
beefsolids, the COW accomplished as
much in one day towards supplying
the human family with motive power,
as the growing steer did in 8 IL days.
Assuming that it cost half as much to
feed the steer as did the cow for the
same length of time, the food cost OF
beef as human food was, in the cases
cited, four times that of milk. 1t
seems, then, that as transmuter OF
1.-The grass of the field" into a high.
grade animal food for human con.
sumption the cow and the steer are not
in the same class.

THE MORTGAGE.
Look on This Picture.

LOOK on ID1S FlcLuFe.
The mortgage is self-supporting in
stitutlon.
1t always holds its own.
It calls for just as many dollars
when cotton is cheap as when 1t !:
dear.
1t is not effected by the drouth.
1t il not drowned out by heavy
rains.
It never winter kills.
Late springs and early frosts never
trouble it.
Caterpillers never disturb it.
Moth and rust do not destroy 1t.
It grows nights, Sundays, rainy
days and holidays.
It brings sure crop every year and
sometimes twice year.
It produces cash every time.
It does not have to walt for the mar
ket to advance.
It is not subject to speculation OF
the bulls and bears OF the board OF
trade.
And Now Look on This Picture.
It is load that gals and frets and
chafeS
It is q burden that the farmer
cannot shake off.
1t is with him morning, noon aud
night.
IT eats with him at the table.
It gets under his pillow when he
sleeps.
It rides upon his shoulders during
the day.
It consumes his cotton crop.
1t devours bis cattle.
It selects his finest horses and the
fattest steers.
1t stalks into the dairy where the
busy housewife tolls day after day,
and month after month, and takes the
incest cheese and the choicest butter.
1t shares the children's bread, and
robs them of half their clothes.
It stoops the toiler's back with It's
remorseless burden Of care. 1t hard
ems his hands, benumbs his intellect.
prematurely whitens his locks, and
oftentimes send him and his aged wife
over thes! to the poor house.
It is the Inexorable and exactine
task-master.
It is menace to liberty, a hindrance
to progress, curse to the world.
