The Home of Joan of Arc.

Just beyond the church is the Joan of
Arc cottage, an ugly building which has
no charm in itself or in its surroundings,
says Clifton Johnson in Frank Leslie's
Popular Monthly for October. 1t looks
more like big shed than anything else
for the roof all slants one way from a
very high wall at the front to very
low one at the base. The inside is kept
as museum, and it has all museums
Dlankness and stiffness, with no sug-
gestion of its ever having been occupied
as home. The old garden at the rear,
with its narrow paths and little plots of
flowers and vegetables, happily has
about it real touch of humility, and
you can fancy it is not unlike what it
was In ,Ioans day, and the mind easily
calls up the scene in those twilight
hours long ago when the bells of the
near church rang and the voices spoke
to the humble shepherd maiden. But
leave the garden and return to the front
of the house, and the illusion vanishes,
There you find modern ornamental
shrubs and a small park enclosed by a
high iron fence. Visitors are coming
and going much of the time. The spot
draws to itself pilgrims from all over
France and indeed from all over
the world; for Joan of Arc is not
French heroine alone, she belongs to
the whole human race. All nations
honor her, and none render her homage
more heartily than the English, her an.
cient foes.

Sheep on Farms,

There are not much short of 30 1000, 900
sheep in England and Scotland, and the
area of the whole island of Great Britain,
which is made up of these two coun-
tries, is about the same as that of the
state of New Y ork, says q correspon-
dent of the Sheep Breeder. All these
sheep are kept on farms. Many of
them are purchased late in the summer
from the specially pastoral districts
where the mountains afford feeding to
many tlocks which are bred and reared
for the express purpose of supplying
the farmers with sheep to be fed on the
the turnip crops grown for this use
The consumption of the roots finishes
the sheep for market as muttons, and
covering the land with manure left by
the sheep fits it for crop of wheat
following. The feeding of the sheep is
incidental merely as far as the farmers
are concerned, but the habit has beep
SO popular for the reason that 1t has
been permanent incident In the cul-
ture and enrichment OF the soil and has
enabled the farmers to grow crops &C
profitably by the help of the sheep thai
the sheep have been called the rent pay
ers-that is, they have returned profit
to the farmer in this way equal to about
$25 an acre.

Land of Butter Makers,

1t is an odd and interesting fact that
Denmark, the butter making country
of the world, bought from the United
States last year 35,ooo,0OO pounds of
oleo oil, with which to make oleomar-
garine, and that the Danish farmers
and butter makers use oleomargarine
on their tables. q. M Pay, of Copen-
hagen, is in the business of importing
oleo. He came to Kansas City, says
The Star, to see the packing houses and
to make business arrangements. The
butter of Denmark is known for its ex-
cellence throughout Europe. The Dan
ish creameries have learned the scien-
titic way Of making the best butter, and
the Danish government has passed laws
to insure its purity. England alone
last year imported S44,O0O,OoO worth of
butter from Denmark, and yet the Dan
ish farmers spread oleomargarine on
their bread. The reason is simply the
frugality of the Danish butter makers.
Their best butter is worth 40 cents q
pound. Oleo can be bought for about
Is cents a pound. Therefore, When
ever Danish family eats a pound of
oleo it makes 25 cents.

What It Costs to Be Honest.

lDuutn a6ralu.l
Mark Hanna would not permit AT.
torney General Monnett of Ohio to re-
ceive denomination by the republican
party for the Office he now holds, be-
cause he endeavored to have the laws
against trusts executed. If Mr.. Mon
nett had been content to let the trusts
alone, as President Mckinley and his
attorney general have done, he would
have been renominated by the Ohio
republican convention. But. the Stand
ard Oil Company demanded that he
should be deposed, and as Hanna
wanted large donation from the
Standard Oil trust for the Mckinley
campaign fund, he readily agreed to
crowd Monnett off the ticket.

Rape For Sheen

Experience has shown so far that q
crop of rape is indispensable as q wind
up of the season of green feeding. 1t
supplies every needed element for the
finishing of the summer feeding of the
flock and preparation for the dry feed
ing of the winter, and indeed through
the winter, wherever the drifting snow
will not cover it too deeply for the
sheep to get at it by paving off the
snow. We must not think that this is
too great hardship. The English
shepherds feed it, as well as turnips,
through the winter, and we have seen
the finest of the flocks in England
wading knee deep in the mud to bite
out the turnips to the she'll or to nip
off the still green rape. Rape is es.
sentlally q turnip without bulb root
1t is the principal member of the turnip
tribe of plants, which are called rapae

the rules of botany. Thus the rape

Richness of Milk.

When there is near prospect of q
pretty high standard for milk being es.
tablished, it is of some interest to learn
the conclusions reached bearing on tie
question as to some of the factors de-
termining the richness of milk by q.
D. Smith, after five years. study, and
noted in the proceedings of the Society
For Promoting Agricultural Science.
The conclusions in question are:
First. A COW yields as rich milk as
heifer as she will as mature COW.
Second. The milk is as rich in the
first month of the period OF lactation
as it will be later, except perhaps dur
ing the last few weeks of the milk flow,
when the COW is rapidly drying of.
Third. There 10 little difference In
Manchester Democrat. [volume] (Manchester, Iowa) 1875-1930, 1900-10-10


seasons as to the quality of the milk.
While the COWS are at pasture the milk
is neither richer nor poorer, on the
average, than the milk yielded when
the cows were On winter feed.
Fourth.-The milk of fair sized
dairy herd varies little in composition
from day to day, and radical variations
IN this respect should be viewed with
suspicion.
Practical men might do worse than
study these conclusions and express
their opinions thereupon. We would
draw attention on our part to the con-
clusion regarding sameness in quality
OF winter fed and pastured milk.

Mr.. Roosevelt, in his letter of accept

Facts Of Interest about Income Take

Facts of Interest about Income Taxes
No wiser or fairer tax than the in.
come tax was ever devised by man.
England's Prime Minister, Pitt, laid
the first income tax upon the realm in
179s, and five years later it had been
hammered into a shape that rendered it
popular, practically the same shape in
which it is levied in the British Empire
to-day. The tax was imposed as war
tax until the close of the Nspoleonic
wars, when it was discontinued. 1t
was revived by Sir Robert Peel, in 1s42,
"partly to provide for deficit in the
budget, and partly to enable him to
make certain reductions and reforms
in the complicated system of protective
tariff duties" Naturally, the tax has
been the object of criticism by statesmen
taxpayers and financiers, but it has
stood the test of hundred years, and
although it has always been regarded
as a temporary tax, requiring annual re-
newal by act of Parliament, it is believed
to be firmly grated upon the British
revenue system.
In the year 1S9S-99 the tax yielded
$9O,0O0000. The general principle Of
progression is not embodied in the law,
but it derives recognition in the taxa.
ton of incomes less than $500, in con
sequence Of certain attachments and ex
emptions. For instance, incomes of $3.50
are altogether exempt from taxation
On incomes of from $3.50 to $4,000 al
abatement of $500 is allowed. On in
comes of $1,000 to $500 an abaten ent
of $3.50 is allowed; $500 to $4,000, al
abatement of $500; So, ,0O0t $500, al
abatement of $3.50. Asa consequence
of these abatements and exemptions, {
tax of Sd. to the pound is graduated OF
incomes below 70Ofb ($3, ,500} by an cas-!
progression, ranging from complete ex
emption on incomes below $3.50 to al
amount equivalent to q tax of 1-3 pc
cent. on the total income, where the in
come is above $3,50O. The Engllsl
taxpayer looks upon tax as SO muct
reduction of his personal income. While
he pays it ungrudgingly, he wants tC
know exactly how 1t i, expended. Hi
method of being taxed makes him
q better guardian of public expendl
lures than the American tsxpsyer.-

Ensinall,s noy Choirs.

Julian Ralph. writing of 1.-THE Choir
Boys Of England" in The Ladies'
Home Journal, says: "Small boys are
much preferred, for the reason that
they develop into manhood later than
big, stalwart children, for it is at the
coming Of manhood that their voices
break and they are obliged to stop
singing until their adult tones are
reached-a matter of years. A boyish
treble is as delicate as the bloom on
peach, and its possessor must lead an
orderly and innocent life, which is why
SO many choirs are made up of boys
taken from their homes and boarded
and taught In church institutions
These, sometimes, are able to sing un'
til they are II or 10 years Of age
though between IA and 10 is the us,lal
period when thsiS YQlcas break"
