The Story of the Horse

Horses began in western America,
says Prof. w. B. Scott, of Princeton, in
the form of animals hardly higher than
domestic cats, whose remains are found
in the Wasatch beds of Eocene time.
Late on, in the form of mesohippus,
these animals attained the stature of
sheep, and showed considerable ad-
vances in organization. In time the
protohippus was developed, and it not
only attained great size, but had q
skeleton $50 like that of horse as to
require careful examination to note
the difference" The change from the
protohippus to the existing equus oc-

The Growth Of Rural pelixerx,

Five years ago congress started rural
free delivery In q most modest way ap-
propriating $4,000 for experimental
purposes. The appropriation available
for the present year is ss,5oo,ooo, and it
is predicted that congress will next year
appropriate slO,OOO,OOO.
Five years age the first route running
out of Charleston, West Virginia, was
started. On the first of next month
there will be in operation 5000 routes.
By the first of July it is expected that
this number will be increased to eight
or nine thousand.
The postal officials are said to have
been sgreeably surprised at the success
which has attended what they a few
years ago termed experiments in rural
free delivery" The popularity of it is
unquestioned. Petitions for service are
pouring in upon the government at q
rate that almost parslyzes those who
have to make arrangements to meet
these demands in the near future. The
service, of course, is not yet self-sup-
porting, but it promises to be. One
thing is certain, viz, it will not be aban.
doned, nor will the growth of 1t cease.
The congressman who would propose to
either abolish or curtail this service or
who would refuse to vote for its exten.
sion would be retired from public life,
and all of them realize this. The new
departure may moreover be justified on
the highest grounds. It is making ru-
raj existence sweeter and plsasanter in
q great many respects, 1t is extending
the means of education and public en-
lightment. 1t will do much to keep
people from flocking to the cities and
away from tne farms, q movement that
has been alltoo general during the last
twenty years.-Cedar Rapids Republi-

The Most Widely Read Newspaper

Time has demonstrated that the

because 1t tells all the news all the

In addition to news, it publishes first

His Wife Is His Only solace,

Sir Edwin Arnold, now in his old age,
blind and paralytic and grieving over
the arrest of his son, is tenderly nursed
and cared for by the little Japanese
woman he married eleven years ago IN
Yokohama.
Sir Edwin's family were shocked and
grieyed at the marriage. Likewise we're
the English friends of the author Of
"The Light Of Asia" It was all so silly
and romantic, they said, and not at all
regular. In England even the solemn
and heightened bans of the church, do
not always hold man and his wife to-
gether, and what was to be expected
from a wedding ceremony which con-
sisted ia the contracting parties mere
ly drinking a cup of tea together.
Sir Edwin's little Japanese bride did
not promise before great crowd of
people that she took her husband for
better or for worse, to love, honor and
obey, to cherish In sickness and in
health. And yet she has done all that
and more, too.
Disappointment in the son he so low
ed and trusted, engnlfed with great
disappointment and domestic griefs,
stricken with blindness and disease, Sir
Edwin's condition would indeed be de.
plorable but for the faithful devotion
of the little brown skinned woman
whom he took to be his wife in far away
Japan. She is at once his nurse, his
secretary, his business agent and con-
fidential friend. He cannot move from
his bed, but that is hardly necessary, for
his little Japanese, swift as shadow,
brings him what he wants or goes on
errands for him before he has time to
regret that he is q paralytic and cannot
move. Sir Edwin's blindness is not ter
rible to him as it would be to others,
for always the devoted wife is by his
side, telling him quickly aud accurately
what her own nimble black eyes can
see.
Il am blind" said Sir Edwin the other
day, in speaking of bis wife, .syet 1 can
see. l am chained by my infirmities to
one spot, and yet l have feet that carry
me everywhere"
Sir Edwin's home in London is per
feet bower of beauty. Cramped as he
is for means, his wife has contrived, at
a small expense, to furnish the house
after the Japanese fashion, SO that its
uniqueness and strange Oriental beauty
give the visitor the impression Of the
most lavish adornment. Here Sir Ed
win still:.carries on his literary work,
for the fortune that came to him from
his "Light of Asia" and other notable
works and from his lectures and ad-
dresses has all been dissipated by his
son, and in his old age, crowned with SO
many bodily inllrmlties, he is obliged
to struggle and toll on instead of reap.
ing the years of rest and peace that he
has earned.
But the troubles which have come up
on Sir Edwin have at least taught his
family and his friends how idle thing
is ceremony and that even tea mar
riage is as good as q cathedral one II
love is there. Sir Edwin realized this
when he married his wife. When hit
daughter Edith expressed her horror al
the idea Of tea marriage, Sir Edwin
replied, ,"It is the custom of the country
and will be as binding to me as would
be pompous ceremony at the cathe
J dral."

cedent which proves that Incorporated

holds that the cities have the right to

What is a Good Dairy cow7

" w. AAs LIZ 44QCChCl,J
Before taking charge of the dairy
heard of the Minnesota Experiment
Station, Travelled extensively over the
state, looking up the dairy interests,
and the prospects was not flattering.
Low prices for all dairy products, little
knowledge among the dsirymen, and q
type of COWS not suited for the business
were the rule. When went to the
station, l determined to work out the
cost of production, and since 1 have
been here, we have weighed every
pound of food the animals were fed,
known its cost, weighed all the milk re-
ceived, and tested it for butter fat. We
feed each COW all she can consume and
assimilate. At the end of the first year,
we found that some cows charged us II
cents per pound for the butter made
from their milk, while others charged
US only IL cents, and others ranged be-
tween these two sums. The breed
made no difference; some Shorthorns
made cheap butter, and some Jerseys
costly butter. Breed had nothing to
do with it. We put all the COWS that
made cheap butter on one side, and
ranged the COWS who charged the most
for butter on the other side. Each side,
no matter what breed, showed similar
characteristics. Those that charged q
high price were sleek, NIGEL looking ami.
mails, that would answer the description
of the general purpose COW, while they
ate the same food that was necessary to
run machinery of every COW. The
question is, what does she do with the
rest of her food? If she returns it to
you In the form of milk, phe may be a
profitable COW; if not, she is not dairy
COW. Always avoid COW that has a
tendency to lay on fat, if you want
cheap milk production. am going to
tell you how to know good COW. It's
simple matter. One of two signs tell
good COW, IS well as twenty. In poor
COWS the thigh runs down straight, SO
there is no space between the thigh and
udder on one side, and the tail on the
other There should he plenty of day
light between the udder and the tail.
One of the best ways to tell what kind
of COW you have is by her temper
ment. A good dairy type has sharp
spine, strong developed nervous system
and sharp hip bones. A good COW has
large wedged-shsped stomach, for she
must have large and powerful diges.
tive system to use up her food quickly,
and make the best returns for it.
Some of the animals the first year
made but little over 200 pounds per
COW while others gave 399 pounds. We
have kept up this record every year, and
the last year our cows averaged 399
pounds per COW, and at cost of only
4.2 cents per pound of butter for feed
These were not picked, high priced dairy
COWS, but the common run of dairy
stock. In the east they have much bet
ter types of dairy breeds, as in our coun-
try too much attention has been paid to
beef animals and not enough to the
true dairy type animal.
We plan to have the COWS come in in
the fall, in order that the work may be
done in the stable only about two hours
per day. They are turned in at 5 q. M,
fed and MIXED, turned out in the COW
cred barnysrd, where running water
