CECIL. RHODES IDEA.

HIS Renson For Declining n Drink
In the EARLY Days mt Kimberley.
In connection with the foundation of
Cecil Rhodes colossal wealth, there is
story told by an old fellow miner,
Minself lately colonial minister of
finance, which Illustrates at least one
trait iE the character of the great
South African finnEcicr and politician.
During the carly days of the Kim.
bericy digg!ngs it was the custom
Wien miner found a particularly fine
gem to invite those about him to the
ceremony. of 'wetting the stone"--i. e.,
drinking champagne at the finders
expense, with the idea that 1t would
bring good luck in the discovery of
another treasure. In the adjoining
claim to that first taken ND by Mr..
Rhodes, In the Very center of the crater
holding the precious blue dirt, this in
vitation had upon certain occasion
gone forth, and the men were going
their way up to the hotel when 1t was
noticed that Rhodes stood aloof.
"I1clle! Come on Rhodesm Shouted
the lucky finder OF tbs gem "Asea't
yos coming up 10 wee Tao ston0 for
good lueh:" 10 which, however, Cecil
Rhodes only shook his head
Il say, come on, there's good fell
low" persisted his neighbor.
What are you going to do?" asked
Rhodes, looking up.
Wet the stone with champagne, of
purse
Well" replied the future magnate.
declsively, 81 did act come out here to
drink champagne. but to make money"
and then went on with his work.
That Mr.. Rhodes has succeeded In
that purpose, probably beyond all
flights of his Imagination, is now
matter of history.-New York Sun.

Gram for Cows on Pasture.
Nv. J. Kenaedy. University of lll.,

(W. j. Kennedy. University of lll.)
The majority of dairymen do not be
lieye in feeding grain to their COWS
while on pasture. as they claim it does
not pay. On the home farm we have
fed grain to our COWS the year round
for several years, and number of our
most progressive neighbors have done
likewise. Many people doubted the
wisdom of such practice at FIRST, bu.
some of them arc now following our
example. A year ago met one of our
most successful dairymen on his way
home from the station with large load
of corn meal and bran for his COWS. l
asked him if he was satisfied that it
paid him to feed SO much grain during
the summer months. He said, ~ do
not think that l could afford to stop
feeding grain 10 my COWS while they
are on pasture" l might say that this
man has not only bought aud paid for
bran and corn meal for his COWS, but
with the net returns from his COWS he
has purchased and paid for three fine
farms for his sons. His views coincide
with mine exactly, for I feel that my
father has made money by feeding
grain to the COWS while on pasture.
1t is true, perhaps, that for month
or SO, While the grass is plentiful and
succulent, the COWS will give as large
returns without grain feed as with it,
but during times of drouth and the fly
season, granted COWS will always hold
their own much better than those not
SO fed. They also milk much better
during the last few months of the lac
tation period. The quantity of grain
to be used will depend to some extent
on the condition of the pastures and
the size of the cows. 1t is not gener-
ally advisable to feed more than from 4
to 8 pounds per COW per day. The
university dairy cows arefed daily from
3 to 5 pounds each of mixture of
equal parts of corn meal ard gluten
feed, depending on the size of the COW
and the length of time she has been
milking. Our large COWS get more
than the small ones. and we also feed
our fresh COWS heavier than those that
have been milking several months.
Should our pastures fail us during the
latter part of July or August we will
increase cur meal ration accordingly.

Those Kansas City Buttons.

Those who attended the Kansas City
convention have had good deal to say
about the "Ask Me- badges, which
were worn SO conspicuously during con-
vention week by the members of the
bureau of information of that city.
The badges and those who wore them
were all right. Each badge had sepa-
rate number, and the information given
by the wearer could be relied upon.
Nevertheless the badges were the oc-
casion of many amusing and some en-
barassing incidents. The following is
vouched far by the Kansas City Star:
She was fair of face, and-well, say
%. Her clothes were neat and cool
Pinned to the bosom of her shirt waist
was one Of the largest buttons that was
distributed by the bureau of informa-
alton for the accommodation of strang-
ers visiting Kansas City during the ses-
sion of the democratic national convtn
ton. This large button bore the tails
manic words, "Ask me-"
When she tripned into the car and
took seat the men stared at her. The
women did likewise. Opposite sat q
middle-aged woman with her seven
year.old daughter. The child stared at
the large button on the shirt waist, then
pointing to it asked, "What is that,
mamma?"
"It's very rude to point, don't you
know, my dear2" quoth mamma.
"Well, what is it?" she again in
quired.
The young woman heard the inquiry
and reprimsnd and smiled at the per-
verseness of the cilhd, then holding out
her hands said, "Come here, little sweet
heart, and I'll explain it to you.'
The child looked at her mother, who
nodded assent. She went over and was
lifted to seat in the young woman's
lap.
Now, I'll tell you all sbou. 1t. These
buttons were designed for the purpose
of furnishing information to the many
visitors who have come to Kansas City
this week. If they are seeking hotel
or street or store all they need is to ask
the wearer of button like this. In
other words, the wearer Of button
like this will answer questions asked.
Do you understand nowp" she asked.
The child nodded her head.
"And are you going to answer ques.
tions?" queried the child.
Just try me and see," replied the
young woman.
The child fingered the button in
silence for few moments, then she
suddenly asked:
"How old are you?'
"I'm-"
care you as old as my mamma Z" per.
sisted the child. Mamma frowned
The young woman smiled.
care you married?' was the next
question.
"No dear, 1 am not"
! why don't you get married ="
The young woman showed signs OF
embarrassment.
81 expect to some time," she replied
A Chinaman came into the car. The
child took her eyes off the young woman
long enough to see who was the new
passenger. ~
"Would you marry that Chinaman? q
she asked, pointing to where he sat
Mamma smiled. The men laughed ano
the young woman blushed furiously
Putting the child down, she signallet
the conductor to stop and she stepped
from the car.
Before the car was out of sight sht
threw that ASK me" button as far al
she could send 1t.

Causes of streaky Butter.

~ 0sASAhy DoeSSAs
Dryness at the time of sailing and
insufficient working Immediately
thereafter are specific causes of streaky
butter. If the butter is dry when
salted, worked lightly and left several
hours, streaks are almost certain to re-
suit. Use little more salt than is
necessary, work it through the mass
carefully and evenly, then give the con.
tents o. the bowl cold water bath to
remove surplus salt and buttermilk,
and there will be no streaks after the
final working. Utilize this salt rinsing

Rats on a Wreck,

A correspondent of the Newcastle
Chronicle describes n striking scene
witnessed Mt the breaking up of the
vessel Gothenburg City on st. Mary's
island, off the coast of Northumber-
land.
The vessel might have been sailing
comfortably out of harbor for aeght
that appeared except that there was
no sign of life on board. We had no
sooner put foot on deck, however, than
we were furiously attacked by swarms
of rats.
Great, hungry, lank, lean looking
rats, many Z. of them with their tails
chewed off, swarmed up from below in
hundreds and thousands, squeaking
and squirming over each other in u
manner sickening and horrible to be-
hold.
Those of us who had stepped on deck
ran to the rigging, while the others
scrambled hurriedly back into the boat.
Our position in the rigging was dan
gerous in the extreme. 1t was more
than ones life was worth to attempt
to run the gantiet of those fierce, starv-
ing rodents, aud. to remain in the rig
glng was equally impracticable.
AT last we cut off some loose ropes,
knotted them into convenient lengths
and, SO armed, descended and fought
our way through the squealing hordes
and eventually succeeded in beating a
passage to the boat.
1t seemed as If the rats knew the i'm
pending fate of the vessel, for they no
sooner saw us over the side than they
began to swarm down the ropes and
try to enter the boat. 1t was with diff
Guilty that we could beat them Off be-
fore casting clear. And they squeaked
in horrible manner as We rowed
away.
A few hours later the Gothenburg
City went to pieces.
