Bounty on TripIets.

Governor Stanley wishes to encOur-
age the raising of triplets in Kansas,
says the Topeka Capital. The other
day he decided to give a present to
every set of triplets born in the state.
This idea suggested itself to him on
the receipt of letter from Mrs. Mary
L. Cook, of Kingman, informing him
that she had just given birth to three
girls, and asking the governor to send
her the bounty which the state pays
for triplets. The governor replied that
the state paid no bounty, but that if
she would send him the names of the
triplets he would send them a present.
"What we want in Kansas more than
anything else just now is population, !"
said he in his letter, "and you are do
ing your full share towards accomplish
ing that desired result"

HARD TO PURCHASE.

The Peculiar Red Ribbon of the
French Legion of Honor.
The peculiar red ribbon which mem

official notice that the persons applying

the other day to would be purchaser
Of the ribbon. II know that you are a
member Of the legion and have right
to buy the ribbon, because read your
name in the paper and know who you

notification of your appointment and
you have not your diploma. So could
not sell you any of 1t.
I'VE had to make this rule first be-

He Knows How Beer Ta.te..

AAS
Rev. II. H. Abrams, the prohibition
ist and apostle Of the Anti-Saloon
League of lowe, solemnly testified be-
fore Judge Platt last week that he
knew how beer tasted. That nasty,
foamy stuff they sell over mulct store
counters in Iowa. 1t was even worse
than that, he said he purchased glass
of beer. in q Grundy county hole-in-the-
wall and actually drank 1t. He thought
it was good quality of beer. A man
of his intelligence ought to be able to
distinguish between good Book beer
and some of the other cheap limitations.
He said he entered one Of the places
where such stuff was supposed to be
kept and wanted bottle Of beer. The
proprietor refused, but told him he
would give him glass Of something
else. The reverend gentleman hesita.

prietor to "fill 'em up" This was done

A Tribute to Mother.

Read this beautiful tribute to mother:
"Honor the dear old mother. Time
has scattered the snowflakes on her
brow, pillowed great burrows on her
cheek, but is she not sweet, fair and
beautiful low? The lips are thin
and shrunken, but those are the lips
that have kissed many tear from the
childish cheeks, and they are the sweet
est lips in the world. The eye is dim,
yet 1t ever glows with soft radiance Of
love which can never fade. All. yes,
she is dear old mother. The sands Of
life may run out, but feeble as she is,
she will 60 farther and reach lower
for you than any other on earth. You
can not not walk into the midnight
where she cannot see you; you cannot
mount scaffold to high for her to
reach you; you cannot enter q prison
that will bar her, but she will bless and
kiss you in evidence OF her deathlesa
love. WhSnsths world shlis despiaa
and forsske, when it leaves you BY the
wayside unnoticed the dear old mother
will gather you in her feeble arms,
carry you home and tell you Of your
virtues until you almost forget your
soul is disfigured by viciousness. Love
her tenderly and cheer her declining
years with devotion"

The Cow.

We learn from sacred history and
books of ancient writer's that the COW
like the OK, originally was used solely
for agricultural purposes, at least 70,
many hundred years, perhaps before
her milk was used as product for
household consumption. 1t is gener.
ally believed also, that the COW, like the
deer, buffalo moose and elk, gave only
sufficient milk to rear her young, from
which we see what q wonderful degree
OF improvement has taken place, when
9 single animal is nowadays made to
produce loo pounds $50 luarts) of milk
IN single day, or 100 pounds of butter
IN month;or again, when a COW has
averaged over her own weight In milk
every month for year. When we con
slider the original inferior ancestry of
these animals, these results are some.
thing marvellous
Care,climatic influences, selection, mat
ing and food have been the causes, and
OF these, food has played the principal
psrtin producing Improvements. Man,
by selecting and mating has taken ad-
vantage of the variations produced by
food, or the abnormal characteristics,
and has gradually nodded and fashion
ed an animal to suit his taste and ideals
as to greater production, as well as
greater beauty and symmetry of form.

Profit on ono Cow.

F. Ii. Schrlbner of Rosendale, Wis.,,
tells in American Cultivator how he
managed and fed the Jersey COW Ida Of
Glendale, with the cost of food and
record for year She came fresh Oct.
20, having been dry SO days. About q
month before she was due to calve he
began to give her five pounds of bran
day, with all the hay and corn en-
silage sheIwouid eat. As soon as he
dared he began to increase her feed,
adding to the bran mixture of two
parts ground oats to one part gluten
feed untigshe was eating five pounds
Of bran, eight pounds ground oats and
four pounds gluten. On this she did
not seem to gain or lose any flesh.
Having this ration 1870 days, she ate
l 1,44O pounds Of the oats, costing sl0.sO,
and 72O pounds of gluten, costing IS. 40.
During the year she ate 1895 pounds Of
bran, costing $l2.75, one ton of clover
hay worth 81 and six tons corn ensilage
valued at 80 Add to these items 20
weeks in pasture at % cents week, $5,
and the cost Of years keeping was
$49.25. She gave 13,474,8 pounds of
milk that made TAO pounds of butter
worth 20cents pound, Sl4S, leaving
profit over cost of food $98 70.

The institutions of pensions within
proper limits is one OF the noblest which
this country can boast. Men who have
lost health or limb and have been in.
capitated in their country's service
should be literally provided for. The
families of those who gave their lives
for their country must be cared for.
But pensioning should stop here. All

learns to drink make half ration skim
milk, teaching it to eat grain, and In
five days give all skimmilk, Feed milk
at 30 degrees. Feed in stsnchions after
this, keeping calves in stanchions
till mouths are dry after feeding. If
calves are to be milk producers, don't
let them get too fat. Give skimmilk
and grain till months old. Can raise
better dairy calf this way than on
whole milk. Always feeds skimmilk
sweet.
Mr.. Bailey feeds calves ia stalls, shut
ting them in while feeding, which pre-
vents some hogging the whole mess.
He has narrow stalls, arranged so he
can shut In q number of calves by q
lever and as easily release them. Calves
week old will learn to eat hay il kept
with older calves. Flsxseed jelly, q
handful In each feed, he has found
valuable for calves.
President Stratton thought calves
should be developed for the purpose
which they are to serve at maturity.
Develop q calf into dairy animal by
training 1t to eat liberally of protein
foods, avoiding fatness.
Professor Hunt discussed this theory,
stating that 1t was theory only, though
reasonable one, but exact data are
lacking. Calves are often asked to eat
too much skimmilk; must have rough
ness as we'll as milk and grain.
Mr.. johnson gives his calves to 10
pounds skimmilk at feed, all the hay,
straw, silage and bran they want, and
raises good dairy animals. He keeps
Holsteins and supplies hotels, clubs
and public institutions.
Mr.. Devol advocates bran and had
records to back his assertions. Calves
tJerseys) gained so to 81 pounds In &c
days, beginning at weeks old. Costs
s25 to $50 to raise q yesrling, but cheap
er to raise them well than to have
somebody else to do SO at $12 to $14
Calves raised by others were stunted
and timid, not in the habit of eating
liberal quantities. Keeps them In
stable all the time till q year old and
prefers not to pasture. Some creamery
men reported that their patrons pre-
ferred psSteurized skimmilk; other
the reverse. Don't feed sour and sweet
milk alternately, better feed sweet al
the time.
