The fat man Is sure he has paid his
fare to the conductor. He is positive
on this point, because he had only a
nickel, and 1t has passed from his pos.
session
The conductor is also positive, with
no actual proof therefor, that the fat
man has not contributed his mite to
swell the Golfers of the corporation
He demands the fare.
The fat man for obvious reasons re-
fuses.
He announces in bleat of rage that
hen see the conductor and the corpora
tion elsewhere before he yields.
The other passengers are wild with
joy. They have no particular love for
the corporation. they do not know the
fat man, and if they met the conductor
again they woGId not look at him.
Passengers seldom do. They are loyal
Americans.
Behind the fat mans underlying
principle there is knowledge of six

per and neglected euchre party He
announces again that he will see the
conductor elsewhere. He does.
He sees the conductor in the street
The fat man is with him
The fat mans hat is in the gutter,
his coat is torn and myriad packages
are strewn over the field of battle.
The car and the conductor fade from
sight. and the fat man gathers up bis
bundles for the six mile walk.

UNIFORM QUALITY.
One of the Essentials In selIin
Dairy Products.

one OF the Essentials In Selling
Dairy Products.
The dairyman who cannot turn out
uniform goods has not yet reached the
point where he can call his business
successful, writes George E. Newell in
The American Cultivator
A dealer or consumer is not looking
for the product of dairy that is spot
ted in quality-that is. good one day
and mediocre the next
One of the greatest triumphs In but
ter making Is to produce an article of q
high grade and have 1t so without any
variation of quality from day to day
To do this does not mean mere detail
work in the dairy room, but it en-
braces the whole extensive field of
dairying, which the amateur butter
maker in search of improved methods
soon discovers. greatly to his ultimate
advantage.
When he finally succeeds in turning
out even grade. gilt edged butter. he
will probably have found that his
whole business has been revolution
lied and placed on paying basis.
So. say, that for one who has never
tried 1t it is no light matter to use the
watchword uniformity" on the dairy
farm. And yet to do so and to carry it
to a successful end mean prosperity
and permanent butter market
Is dairying worth being followed If
one cannot have such result?

RUSSIA AND PERSIA.

At any other time this Persian loan

II is now in a fair way to accomplish its
purposes. The bear has reached one paw

win mind the sheep on the hills. pa
tiently await his masters coming from
the tavern and guide his Keeling foot
steps to his home
On theDgreat plains of the west these
dogs have made it possible for one man
to care for 5000 or 1000 sheep in a
flock. All they ask Is a bite to eat, and
once in awhile, when their feet are
filed with the sharp pines of the cac
tus, they viii come to have them taken
out. There is no value on a we'll train
ed sheep dog. The well bred collie
which takes the prizes at the bench
show is beautiful to look at, but his
homelier brother, the trained dog of
the range. is worth more.
In the new country the work of the
sheep dog is hard. II is on a big scale.
In the old country the work is easier,
but it has its finer points. In the new
country the dog may drive 1000 sheep;
in the old country a dog may have to
drive 5000 or 1000. which takes more
thought and skill In the old country
the feature of every country fair in
sheep district is the sheep dog triala.
A trophy is the annual prize. and the
shepherds and their dogs come from
afar off to try for the cup.
The field is cleared of the crowd.
Three sheep are taken in a wagon to
the far end, perhaps into a Bit of wood,
and there turned loose. The shepherd
and his dog must get these sheep to
of drix-
field, through certain staked walls,
through gates and over bridges and
finally into pen built in the open with
no guiding fences on either side and
with but narrow openings
By word, gesture and whistle the
man directs the dog at long range.
The dog keeps one eye on his master
and one on the sheep. He sinks along
close to the ground or covers 1t at
lightning speed. as the need of the mo-
ment may demand. He works the
sheep with human Intelligence and a
speed and energy of which no man is
capable. The work of the trained sheep
dog puts his kind at the head of the
list of intelligent animals.
These trials for the trophy are a
great feature of life in the sheep coun-
tries. Rivalries are engendered and
often neighborhoods divided over the
respective merits of the dogs The day
of the trial is the great day of the
country fair, and the betting is high
between the factions Looks do not
seem to count in this trial of skill. for
the great long haired collie of the type
known in America is not always the
best The dog that carries away the
trophy may be a little. short haired.
homely and insignificant brute. which
sinks to the heel of his master like a
creature of no spirit. But send him
after the sheep and his whole charac-
ter seems to change. He is slow and
gentle or quick and bold. as the sheep
may require. His whole attitude is
tense and nervous. No human being
could manifest a greater sense of re-
sponsibility.

BUILDING A SILO.
ONE OF MANY SIMPLE AND IN
EXPENSIVE STRUCTURES
MADE OF SLAVES.


Probably the cheapest siio to con-
struct as well as the enc having the
smallest percentage of loss of contents
is the stave silo. 1t Is the one of all
others best suited to the needs of the
small farmer and dairyman and Is as
durable as 1t is cheap and easy of con-
struction In making a silo it is good
plan to build little larger than Is &C
tually needed at the time, in order to
provide for Increase of stock or increas-
ed use of ensilage. The first step In
the construction of a stave silo is the
foundation. Excayate to the depth of
three or four inches and to the diam
eter of two feet greater than that of
the proposed silo. Fill In the excava-
ton with large stones, using smaller
ones to fill in between the spaces.
Pound these stones down firm so that
there will be no after settling. Make
a thin mortar of good quality Of ce-
ment, one part cement and four parts
of sharp sand, and pour it over the
stones and into the cracks between
them. After this is set put on another
coat, working it down level with a
trowel, and finish off after this coat is
dry with dust of clear cement placed
thinly and smoothed over.
For slaves use hemlock or white
pine, sound and free from loose knots.
If the silo is to be u feet or less in
diameter, make the slaves of by G
material. slightly beyeled on the edges
in order to form the needed circle. If

to fit teachers to teach children the
meaning of such terms as protein"
and carbohydrates. He points to the
result of such education in Denmark,
where agricultural products are $24 per

He charges that Belyidere was the place

These sheep dogs came by their ma

they or their ancestors came from the
sheep dotted hills of England, Scotland
or Wales, where for generations past
the supreme effort of the shepherd has
been to produce a perfect sheep dog.
They have succeeded well. for no man
could excel them In sheep lore. no man
could be as useful to the sheep owner,
for man is neither so persistent nor
agile. possesses such endurance or is
so gentle under training and reproof.

A
WOMAN
MISTAKE

It is a well-known fact that Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
has cured more women than any other
remedy. 1t therefore must be the
best possible medicine for female ills.
But some women make the mistake
of thinking that they will try some
thing else, simply because it is new.
That mistake is often fatal one
fatal to the health and happiness of
the experimental.
Is it not foolish to risk the possible
results of such experiments? Is it not
better to depend upon medicine
which has been tried successfully for
thirty years, and which has never
been found wanting? Do not therefore
let any one persuade you to try some
thing which they say is just as good.
It cannot be just as good. Mrs. Pink
hams Compound is the best, and there
can be only one best. This is not a
mere assertion. but is positive fact,
admitted by hundreds of regular
physicians.
Rely on your own common sense,
and Mrs. Pinkham's lifelong expert
ence, and you will make no mistake.
Don't experiment with your health,
but take medicine that you kp0zO is
good, and is backed by such letters as
these to Mrs. Pinkham:
