They were the ignorant people. What
induced the man to put the rods on
his house and barns? The knowledge
be possessed that they would turn the
lightning in another direction. The
man of brains knows how to keep and
preserve and use advantageously his
gains. The ignorant man is the man
who believes much in luck and who
lies in bed and wishes the postman
would bring him the news of legacy.
The man of brains is the man of la
Dor, who realizes that to obtain gain
he must put up' something for it
and he therefore gets out at six
o'clock and with busy pen or ringing
hammer lays the foundation of COM
petence. The ignorant man who re-
lies on luck depends on chance for
everything, the brainy man on labor
and character.
When people talk about a man of
luck they never mean that he is lucky
to be endowed with successful quail
tiles. If a man by careful managing
amasses a fortune, people call him
lucky merely because he possesses that
fortune, and do not stop to consider
that he possesses it by reason of care
full, intelligent, brainy management.
So long as we do not go back to the
real matter of fortune, which lies in
the character, let us at least be in
telligent and stop talking about one
man having any more good things to
him than another. If you want to
gain or be ''lucky" put up your light
ming rods, get between the cars, be-
gin making powder-in other words,
increase your probabilities of having
something out of the ordinary happen
to you by possessing those qualities
which will put you in a position to
be lucky or have something out of the
ordinary happen to you. In other
words possess brains. To sum it all
up in few words = if one is smart, So
Der and not born tired, there is no bad
luck that can get even a shade the
best of you.

GOATS FOR DAIRYMEN.
They Can Live U'i:cre n Cow Would
Starve and Yield C Fair Guam
tity of Rich MIX.

The usefulness of the goat in clear
ing foul lands and the profitableness
of the animal for it's hair, skin and
even carcass, is. becoming pretty well
understood. But the goat is valuable
as dairy animal. If the cows, for
instance, are being used for supplying
city milk trade, the keeping Of goats
for the home milk supply would be
an excellent policy. The goat will live
where a COW would starve; and while
it, like every other domestic animal,
will do best on good pasture, it will
live and yield milk on astonishingly
little food. The animal and it's milk
are almost entirely exempt from dis
ease. the milk is more nutritious than
that of the COW and agrees with stom-
achs that cows milk frequently Of
fends. The animal requires only the
cheapest kind of shelter; but it needs
shelter from the storms and in winter.
If by reason of drought, soiling is nec-
essary, leaves, vegetable refuse, peel
ings of the apple or potato. sweet and

the same food. and the feeder will have
to study the appetites of the individ-
ual animal. Frequent feeding and va
riety of food in winter will be found
beneficial Roots, oil meal, oats, corn
(of the latter, in the whole state, the
goat is. very fond) are proper feed, es-
pecially for the milking goat. Rock
salt is greatly relished. The flavor
of goats milk cannot be distinguished
from that of cows milk, if it is prop
erly cared for. From three to four
pints day is the average yield of a
good mixer. The milk is so rich and
of such a character that in making
pastry it will take the place of eggs

KILLING POTATOES.
some Advocate the Practice. others
Declare 1t to Have value Only
a. q Tradition.

There are those that advocate hilling
up potatoes. and there are others that
oppose the practice. The latter peo-
pie are sometimes Inclined to pose as
reformers and imagine they will have
accomplished much good If they can
only succeed in making level culture
of potatoes universal. We have heard
men declare that the hilling of pota-
toes in this country is due to our habit
of following custom long after the
circumstances that gave it birth have
ceased to exist. They say that the
Irish hilled them up to keep them out
of the excessive wet, and that now no
excuse exists for the practice. But
those that are advocating change in
this matter should not be too sure of
their ground. There is much truth in
the argument they make. but it is not
all truth.
Whether level or hill culture is the
best depends on local conditions, and
general rules cannot be formulated.
More than that seasons differ in their
dryness and wetness. and the .varia-
tions of rainfall make an immense diff
ference in the results. We know a
man. that followed level culture of po-
tatoes successfully for a number of
years and advocated it. But one year
the rains during the whole season were
excessive, and the heavy ground in
which his crop was growing was con-
stantly soaked and sometimes water
was standing on it. The neighboring
fields that had the rows elevated gave
fair results. but the level culture fields
were drowned cat T'erhaps a well
drained field even in such year would
have given GOOD results; but 1t is fact
that many fields which should be
drained are not. On low fields. with
heavy soils, level culture of potatoes is
often unsafe. The progressive farmer
will learn to adapt principles to his To-
cal onditions.-Farmers' Review.

In packing butter for market the
farmer should use as much care as
the creameryman. This is especially
the case when he makes sufficient but
ter to be packed in tubs or pals made
of wood. Putting butter direct into
wooden packages without any soaking
of the packages results often in the
deterioration of ,the butter before it
gets to market. The best creamery
men soak the tubs in brine and then
expose them to live steam. After that
even the parchment paper that is put
around the butter in the tubs is soaked
in brine. These precautions have much
to do in bringing the butter onto the
market in a form and condition that
makes II bring as high a price as its
quality will permit.-Farmers Review.

Bu,ter-M.kine ON Farms.

The creameries have driven the farm
ers out in making butter in some sec
tions, but it is not because farmers can
not compete with creameries. for there
are many farmers who do so. 1t is the
farmer who does not know how to make
good butter who has surrendered. The
best and highest priced butter comes
from the farmers, but it is produced
with care in every detail. and it does
not even have creamery butter as its
competitor. Farmers and dairymen
should not yield the production of but

USES OF SKIM MILK.
Latest By-PrOduct Is Claimed to Be
a Good Substitute for Rubber
and CelIulOiI.

Henry Alvord, chief of the dairy di-
vision of the agricultural department,
in making up the divisions exhibit at
the Paris exposition has come across
a new by-product of the dairy indus
try. 1t is well known. of course, that
in many lines of industry the by-prod-
ucts of an article form more extensive
industries than the original item fur
nishes,
Skim milk is the basis of this by
product, which is an addition to quite
a list of articles which skim milk al
ready fathers. For instance, they
make paint out of skim milk, fine
quality of paint at that. with good
luster and polish. Then, too, they
make glue out of skim milk. Tons of
sizing for fine qualities of paper are
produced daily from skim milk.
Now comes an inventor with plan
to make substitute for hard rubber
and celluloid out of skim milk. The
patents have been allowed and the or
ganization of the company is under
way. The inventor furnished Mr.. Al
word with a sample. which resembles
wood in texture. The new material
will be used for brush backs, combs.
electric light insulators, and. in fact,
almost anything now constructed of
hard rubber or celluloid. The evolu-
tion of pan of skim milk on the kitch-
EN- shelf into golf ball is but ques-
tion of time and secret process. The
body of the new material is the caseine
of skim milk. t
The agricultural department is in
! terested because of the bearing of the
new business on the dairy industry.
Any plan for the disposition of the
surplus stock of skim milk in the dai-
ries and on the farms is welcomed
