The reverse Of this is SO generally
true-women are nearly always so

assuredly, without excitement, and
with tranquility unshaken by the

poem, "Prithee, weep, May Lillian"
they futter about room, they talk
csaselessly and exclaim and calculate
o'er every trivial happening; they

IS under 20. and the man very little
more. but after that the grown man
wants peace of mind and body, and he
turns to the woman who can rise above
the petty annoyances of life and who
does not demand too much of his en-
thusiasm. There is n great passage
in one OF Tolstoi's novels, where the
young wife OF an old man goes to her
husband with all the pent-up story Of
her struggles and temptations and
emotions. He listens to 1t. and then
gives her only the smile of man anx-
ious not to be disturbed. There are
many times when every woman feels
the same thing. We get. in time, to
dread those of our friends who are
Intense, who are always either in alb
surdly high spirits or preternaturally
blue. They make too great drafts on
our sympathy. for they demand that
we shall feel as they do about every
thing, and 1t is a relief to turn to the
placid woman who gives lis nothing
but the sense OF rest and peace. An
other argument, II 1t were needed, in
favor of cultivating purposes, is that
1t does more to keep one young than
all the cosmetics ever invented. lrrita-
bility makes wrinkles, worrying is the
sure forerunner OF gray hairs. excite
ment shortens life. 1t is the quiet
woman OF reposeful manners that the
years pass by without leaving mark.
Another thing is that the woman who
can keep calm Is always the one who
succeeds. She is always master of
herself, and any situation, and she
never knows those awful hours with
which most OF us are too sadly famii-
lar, when she has to repent in sack
cloth and ashes the thing she did and
said In the moment OF excitement In
nature and human nature II is the

Food and Milk.
Grower.

This is a question that has agitated
advanced dairymen, and has been the
subject of scientific investigation for
many years, with advocates for and
against the theory that the quality of
the food determined the richness or
increased the butter fat of the milk.
Prof. w. A. Henry, of the Agricul-
tural University of Wisconsin, has
made an exhaustive study of the sub
ject, and comes to the conclusion that
the quality Of the milk is governed by
the cow and not the food she eats. All
the experiments at the various agri-
cultural colleges have resulted in a
scarcity of any perceptible cnange in
the richness Of the milk or increased
percentage of buttetr fat. The reader
must not cOnfOund this statement
with the idea that foods do not have
a marked effect upon the quantity of
the milk produced and with the in
creased quantity and equally increas-
ed quantity Of butter fat.
Prof. Henry draws the following
conclusions:
We fall back, therefore, upon breed
and individuality as primarily deter
mining the character and composition
of milk. The Channel island cattle.
Guernseys and Jerseys, give the rich
est milk, and this is a breed or race
characteristic. The cows Of North
Europe, from Holland eastward, give
thinner milk than the Channel island
cattle, making up by quantity in many
cases what is lacking in quality. The
English breeds of cattle give milk of
medium quality. The dairymen of
this country have COWS as a rule
which give milk considerably richer
than the COWS of Europe
If the old idea were correct, that we
could influence the fat composition Of
milk by the kind of feed given, one
could then buy any kind of a cow and
cause her to give rich milk. A Hol-
stein COW could be converted into a
Guernsey simply by the character Of
the feed, and a Jersey giving rich milk
caused to make it still richer by what
she was supplied. We know that such
things cannot be done.
''BlOOd will tell,'' and if the richness
of the milk is dependent upon the ner-
vOus anatomy of the COW, regardless
of the quality of her food, the thinking
dairy farmer will see the Importance
of losing no time in breeding up his

the exceptions prove the rule, but am

which has no exceptions thus far to

hllluS OI lduu; ana yet WITH SUCH d ull-
versal concurrence Of authorities in ia
vOr of the root origin theory l did not
till three years ago venture to admit
that the whole idea of the cause
might be fundamentally wrong.
In Dade county and lower Brevard,
in the rich high and low hammOcks,
the former very thirsty and the latter
requiring drainage, the dieback has al
ways been so prevalent that people be-
came discouraged at the start, and ar
ter few attempts, gave up, and for
many years it was generally admitted
for successful citrus culture. [ plant
ed a small grove of trees in low ham
mock land, on Jupiter narrows, and,
after two years trial. fighting the dis
ease with potash, ashes mulching, and
all the old methods including mound
ing and elaborate drainage, gave it UP
as bad job. Three years ago, having
much trouble with similar disease on
mangOes, l conceived the idea that it
might be a fungus attacking the new
growth, similar to that affecting toma
toes, and sprayed with bordeaux mix
ture One application cured them. l
then tried the same treatment on some
oranges which had dieback on high
spruce pine land, and two applications
cured them. Then [ returned to my
abandoned grove. What trees were
still alive [ cleaned out from the
weeds and vines, and cured of the dis
ease in like manner, and then planted
six hundred trees, and last year as
many more. [ sprayed with bordeaux
mixture every three months, and have
never had single tree injured by die
back yet. That part of the grove
which l kept absolutely clean all the
time is as healthy as it is where l
mulched, or only hoed around the
trees, letting weeds grow in the mid
dies to shade the soil and "take out
the sourness and surplus nitrogen;"
only where 1 kept every inch of soil
clean, the trees have made twice as
luXuriant a growth as they have
where I allowed weeds to grow in the
summer
| have one tangerine on sour stock
which is only two feet above water,
on land having twelve inches Of hui
mus before any sand is reached, which
has been out just two years, is four
and a half inches in diameter at the
ground, ten feet high, and has at least
two boxes of oranges set on it now.
The smallest tree in that lot is two
and half inches in diameter and sew
en- feet tall, and they will average
three and a half inches Camphor
trees here are subject to similar
trouble, which yields as surely to the
fungicide treatment
1t seems very presumptuOus to at
tempt to upset theories which have
such universal credence, and are up
held by such good authorities, and so
I only give my experience for what it
is worth But I have had chances Of
wide observation on this coast, and
have never found anything substantial
to uphold the old theory, nor any sue

DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES.
A Few Can BE Found Who Aspire to
State Office.

Quite a number of prominent Democrats
announced during the day that they would
not be a candidate for various offices. J..
II. McNutt, Of Madison, said he would not
again be in the race for the attorney gen.
eralship, and Jerome Herf said his name
would not 30 before the convention for
the state craftsmanship.
John Overmyer will be a candidate for
Congress from the Fourth district, while
H. C. Yount, of Covington, will make an
effort to land the congressional nominal
ton from the Ninth district. NJ. A. Ryan,
of Delphi, will be a candidate for Con-
gress in opposition to Representative
Charles b. Lands. 1t Is said that ex-Rep-
resentative Morrison, of Madison, will be a
candidate for Congress from the Eighth
district. 1t is said that John Lawler, Of
Salem, will be a candidate for the lieuten-
ant governorship, while Adam Heimberger,
of New Albany. will be a candidate for
the secretaryship of state. Opinion was
practically unanimous yesterday in the
Grand Hotel that Hugh Dougherty, of
Button, would receive the nomination for
state treasurer without opposition, and
the John Minor could have the nomination
for auditor if he wanted it.
No new candidates for the Democratic
nomination for Governor were mentioned
Yesterday, although a number will insist
that Mayor Taggart will be considered in
spite Of his statement that he would not
run.
