BURR'S FIGHT AGAINST FATE.
AS Success Returned the Sorrows Of
His Life Came.

Aaron Burr was sixty years old
when he resolved once more to battle
with fortune" writes William Perrine
of The Mysteries of the Century" in
the April Ladies Home Journal.
Going quietly into New York he
opened an office for the practice of
law, and in fortnight had earned
two thousand dollars in fees. But
hardly had he written to his daughter
about his luck when there came from
South Carolina the news that her
beautiful boy, who had been the idol
of the ambitious statesman, was dead
But there was I'm reserve for Burr a
still heavier blow. Toward the close
of the year 1912 Theodosia Allston
made preparations TO visit her father
in New York. Passage was engaged
on the schooner, The Patriot for
Theodosia. her physician and her
maid, and the young woman was radi-
ant with the expectation of meeting
her father within the next FIVE or six
days. The Patriot sailed from Charles
week. and not a vistige of her was
ever again seen, and it is surmised-
but nothing is known as to her fate
that she founded off the coast of Hat
teras. Day after day, and long after
all hope had been abandoned, there
might have been seen on the battery
at New York the lonely and unhappy
father peering far down the bay, as
if he were scanning the sea for a sail.
OF his agony Aaron Burr gave the
world but little view; he had schooled
himself in the habit of never exhibit
ing his emotions; but in one of his
letters he declared that he felt as if
he had been severed from the human
race

All Records Beaten,

All previous records for motor cars
were broken by Rene de Knyff in the
recent race at Pau, France, for motor
vehicles and motorcycles. The course
was 1886 kilometres, or 2O9b miles.
Thirty-six of the leading chauffeurs of
Europe started. Knyff's vehicle had
a 16 horse power motor, most of the
others being of IL horse power. The
horse power of the tricycles varied
from three to six.
The pace was terrific throughout.
At one stage of the race, on level
ground, De Knyff covered 34h miles
in 3215 minutes. De Knyff won in
4.46.57, net time, excluding stoppage.
beating all records with an average of
nearly forty-four miles an hour.
Marcellin, the motocyclist, also
broke all records in his class, going
the distance in 5:47:14, an average
of more than thirty-six miles an hour.

Soaking grain feeds for cattle and
hogs is quite generally recommended
and the tests made by numerous ex-
pertinent stations seem to support this
general opinion. III nearly every case
where pigs were experimental with
the animals ate more of the wet fod
and made larger gains on it. 1t must
be admitted however, that the ad-
ditional gain was usually due to the
larger amount of feed eaten and not to
its moist condition. The Kansas sta
ton soaked shelled corn for five steers
until it began TO soften. Another lot
of five was fed dry corn. Those given
soaked feed ate 2S2 bushels. while the
Others ate 300. The first lot gained 1914
pounds more than the others, a diff
ference of $3.50 in favor of soaking.
From this the station concludes that
1T pays to soak corn for steers if this
can be done for cents or less. Soak
ing wheat for pigs is quite generally
recommended.

BREEDING Of HORSES.
Great Care Must Re Exercised in the
Selection u the Type.

1t requires six years from the time
of breeding until we have the animal
of marketable age generally sought
for. The best time to go into the bust
ness of horse breeding is when breed
ing stock is cheap-iittle or no demands
in the markets-when selections of the
desired types and blood can be care
fully made with the adaptation of both
sires and dams to be coupled together
for the most uniform results. with the
view of improving all the good quail
tiles of our horses and Graduating
their defects. at n reasonable outlay of
money
TO maintain any Of the specific types
OF horses we must conlinc ourselves in
the selection of breeding animals TO the
desired type, let ii De draft, coach, car
riage or road horses, and never try TO
improve either type by crossing one
type with another. BY so doing we are
in great danger Of losing the good
qualities of both and all subsequent
breeding will be more or less guess
work.
While we may confnc all our horse
breeding to a specific type, we cannot
expect to overcome the imperfections
of many of the individual of the type,
without very careful selection of the
brood mares and stations that should
be mated together for the improve
ment of that type, and herein lies the
great secret of the improvement of all
the types of our best horses. Thous-
ands upon thousands OF farmers in
the last decaue have had some eX-
perience in cross breeding, or rather
"haphazard' breeding from which the
country became flooded with great
mass of hOrschesh that they them
selves did not want and there proved
to be no sale for ut living prices, which
should be a lesson for us in all future
efforts in horse breeding.

Preventing Hog Cholera.

Ing usually have the most trouble.
Cleanliness, pure water, clean thoughts
and clean beds will do much to prevent
disease. Feed plenty of charcoal, salt,
ashes and some lime. Occasionally
saturate some old rags with kerosene
and carbolic acid and burn in the pig
pens and house. Sulphur burned IN the

5OME FACTS ABOUT HONEY.
Interesting Paragraphs in Regard Its Pro-
duction and Use.


duction and Use.
Honey is the orly sweet that may
be eaten in any quantities and for a
long time without Interfering with the
action of any of the vital organs. Its
food value is twice that of pork, pound
for pound, and it has been noticed that
persistent honey eaters are not nearly
so liable to disease of the respiratory
organs as those wAo do not use it at
a 1.
1t is calculated that the entire honey
prNduct of sixty bees during their en-
sire working life viii not amount to
more than one pound of honey, an
amount that Il man with good ap-
petite would eat in a day without
thinking much about it.
BeeswaX is almost entirely indigest-
ible, and while it does no harm when
swallowed, never enters into the food
value of the honey it contains.
The expert can almost tell from tast-
ing honey the place where is is made.
The honey from the Northern States
is more delicatcly favored than that
of the Southern States, and California
honey tastes rank 10 an Eastern honey
eater, on account of its high flavor.
The honey of Cuba is dark and in
sipid to the Northern taste. and II Is
hardly possible to sell it for private
consumption. Cuban honey is in favor
with bakers, as it has the quality OF
not losing its flavor when subjected to
high heat, as in baking. This makes
it preferable for their use.
Extracted honey that has candied
should be liquefied by subjecting ii to
very low heat. otherwise the volatile
oils which give it flavor will evaporate
and the honey be made simply sweet
without its delightful perfume-like
taste, which nothing can be found to
initiate.
Honey should never be exposed to
the air 1t will not ferment or sour,
but it loses havo. and sometimes be-
comes the least bit rank in taste,
when air is admitted freely.
