On Monday evening, June IS, was
the annual address before the Parthe-
Man and Ciceronian Literary Societies.
The exercises were opened by the rem
dition of "Dashing Before the Gale, .
by chorus composed of students.
After this Rev. Dr. J. Spangler Kiefer'
of Hagerstown, was introduced, who
spoke on the subject of "The Beauti-
full and the Good" The address was
one of high literary merit, and the
speaker expressed the noblest and pur-
est sentiments. 1t was pronounced
one of the best addresses ever deliv-
cred here. The good and the beauti-
full" were shown to have their place
in nature, and are just as necessary as
the useful and practical. Beauty is
its own excuse for being"

Polar Property on Sale.

The sale of this property should have
taken place some time ago, but at the
last moment it was put oil by the ven-
ders. Whether the idea of selling it
arose from discovery OF the poverty
of the islands in natural products or
not it is impossible to ascertain. To-
day the property was put up for
sale, and the whole of the mining rights
and stock of the Bear island syndicate.

Tried 1t for Years.

would like o describe an apparatu s

they will always have salt before them
and no waste, writes Joseph II. Yoder,
in the National Stockman. For cattle
or horses l would prefer to use rock
salt placed in boxes or troughs for the
winter and scattered about the pas
ture on the grass in summer. Rains
have little effect upon it and this will
be found both convenient and econom-
ical. For sheep. however, this plan
does not work SO we'll. The rock sal, is
SO slow to dissolve that they are not
able to get sufficient amount of it to
satisfy their wants, hence it is neces-
sary 10 use the loose salt for them.
DUNG the white box can be fastened
up at a convenient place in the shed
and at the proper height SO they can
have access to it at all times of the day.
In summer if they have not a shed to
run.under the box can be fastened to
gate post and have roof placed over it
so as to keep out the rain. If tits de
sired to use loose salt for cattle the
same arrangements can be used as have
already bsen described for sheep. The
roof over the box should be high
enough to be entirely out of the way
of the animals. Where loose salt is
used it is necessary to be careful to

Why Pure-Drcd Antmnls Are Moro
Profitable to the Average FARM
eF Than Scrubs

1t does no. cost any more to raise
pure-bred stock than half-breeds and
inferior scrubs. The only difference in
the cost is the initial purchase. The
pure naturally costs more than
the inferior animal. but in the end one
such animal may prove cheaper than
three or four scrubs. The farmer who
starts in with the idea and buys only
little blooded stock as he can afford
it. increasing his herd gradually. may
find in the end that he is in much bet
ter position than his nieghbor who
buys any sort of cattle simply because
they are cheap. The reason why moro
do not start in with the idea is because
they have the erroneous belief that it
costs more to maintain the blooded
stock. This is not true at all, for the
tine cattle do not require more food nor
better surroundings than should be
given to any farm animal that is worth
anything. If the farmers style of keep
ing cattle is TO neglect them and let
them practically shift for themselves
the scrub stock may be better suited to
his purpose, for the ha.f-wild animals
are undoubtedly harder than the well-
bred ones, and they Will be able to pick

The Cont a. a Shepherd.

Sheep are too slow in their move
ments to suit goats, which cover more
ground in a day and are more inclined
to herd in one bunch and less addict
ed to scattering. When a few goats
are kept among sheep not herded, the
goats will often, for the sake of com
pany, stay with the sheep. They are
most invariably come home at night
and sheep follow them in, th@s often
avoiding the danger of having any Of
the flock killed by dogs or wild ami

interbreed and SO can be allowed to
run together with impunity.-W. G.

be securely fastened at top and bottom,
SO that the whole ladder may be per-

are to be used one precaution should
surely be taken-thcy should have
sharp iron points inserted in the lower

whatever in their slipping. This is one
of the great dangers of the ordinary
