How He Won the Men.

At one period of his career Arch
deacon Sinclair used to preach pretty
often both at Wellington and at Chel-
sea barracks. One day a sergeant
major of the Coldstream guards ac-
costed him, and said how sorry he
was they had not heard him preach
for some time. The archdeacon ex-
planned that he had not the pleasure
of knowing the then chaplain at
Chelsea.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS <<<<<1

THE new "pleh'' at the West Point
military academy was under

shock of brown hair protruded be-
meath his cadets cap. He had habit
of smiling when addressed, and show
ing his white teeth. This habit got
him into trouble with q first class
.man," cadet officer, the day after
his arrival at the academy. He was
taking a walk around the parade
ground. He saluted the first class
s.man'' as the latter approached and
smiled cheerfully. The cadet officer
stopped and glowered at the ''pleb."
.'Sir," he said, in deep, chesty
tone, 'swhat are you grinning at?''
.sWho, me?'' said the "pleb." "Oh,
any old thing. What do you want to
know for?''
Because, sir,' Numbered the first
class s'man,' throwing out his chest
like a pouter pigeon, "your grin is in
shlting, sir!" .

continuing to smile. swell, what are
you going to do about it? Is there
any rule around here that forbids q
fellow to smile p
The first class "man" was almost
swept off his pins by the audacity Of
the ''pleb's" reply and the unheard-of

EVOLUTION OF BREEDS.
StudyinE the Pedigree Of Our So
Called Native Cows BrinEs Out
Some Odd Facts.

Tracing the evolution of breeds is
always interesting. Someone has
been figuring out the pedigree of the
"native" COW of this country
and brings to light some odd facts
that are worth recording. As early
Us 1911 dairy cows were brought to
Virginia from England, and 10 years
later there was an importation into
the Plymouth colony. This was in
1924. These COWS were brought from
Devonshire, England, and were doubt
less of the same stock as that from
which the Devon breed was developed
at later period. This probably ac-
counts for the predominance of red
color in the native New England cat
tie. Whether or not the Virginia

Good Roads i'm New York.

There is every reason to believe
that Westchester county, N. Y, will
shortly have GO miles of macadamized
boulevards extending through the en-
tire length of the county. The new
roads will be greatly used by coach
ing parties and automobiles, and
many Westchester millionaires are
behind the good roads movement. As
soon as the legislature is in session
the good roads committee and large
delegation of taxpayers will go to
Albany and urge the passage of a
general good roads bill which will
provide fol-. new highways through
out the state.

Food for Fruit Trees.

Wood ashes, if not leached or ex-
posed to the weather, are good, but a
heavy coating should be given, not
less than a barrel to the square rod.
Dissolved bone-meal and muriate of
potash in about equal proportions
make an excellent manure. An APP
plication at the rate of 500 pounds to
the acre is sufficient. Tobacco-stems
are very good, because they contain
potash, phosphoric acid and nitro
gen, and also make humus, all Of
which are needful in all kinds OF
soils.-H. E. Van Deman, in Rural

reply that words almost failed him.
A large, somewhat awkward looking
''pleb," who just then happened to be
passing by, helped the first class
''man" out of mis- predicament.
''Come here, strait" the cadet officer
commanded the large, awkward look
ing "pleb,' and the latter, cringing,
approached.
do you object. sir, to the manner
this fellow has of wearing his cap?"
said the first class man. indicating
the understood "pleb" to the other.
The latter, looking as if he stood in
mortal fear of his life, replied:
II do. sir"
"very well. sir" replied the first
class man." in an indignation-choked
tone. "You are to thrash the fellow
this evening after taps You," indi-
eating the "pleb" with the shock of
brown hair, ''are to report at the
corral after taps tonight for lick
ing"
"Good thing replied the under
sized "pleb." II don't know about
the licking. but I'll be there, al.
right"
The understood "pleb' was at the
corral directly after "taps." He ar
rived alone, and he was chewing con-
tentedly on blade of grass when he
found the group awaiting him. It
consisted of eight cadets and cadet
officers, and the large ''pleb' who had
been selected to thrash the understood
''pleb." The two 'plebs' quietly
stripped to their trousers and under
shirts. The large ''pleb" looked as if
he would tip the beam at about 40
and measure up to five feet eleven
The understood ''pleb" with the shock
of brown hair looked to weigh about
125 pounds and to stand about five
feet four in his goloshes. However,
he looked rather unusually bunchy as
to chest and biceps under his under
shirt.
They went at it at the insulted first
class sman's" signal. The understood
spleb'' danced around his big antag-
onist like cooper around barrel.
Then he lowered his head suddenly,
ran in under the big 'pleb's guard
and planted right-hand wallop on
the big 'pleb:'s" chin that broke the
stiffness of the night like the impact
of mules hoof on one of the low
notes of xylophone. The big "pleb"
went to grass and he took no part in
the subsequent proceedings. The
cadets standing around looked upon
the blow as chance one, for one OF
them, third class "man," at the
munbled instigation Of the others,

FEEDING DAIRY cows.
The System in Vogue at the MinEe-
sofa Experiment Station II
Said to he Perfect.

The herd of mich cows at the Min
nesota Experiment station is one of
the most profitable in the country. In
report one of the professors tells how
they are fed:
Few people have any idea how care
fully we watch the physical tone and
feeding capacity of every animal in
the dairy department of the univer-
sity herd. A stranger passing along
in front of the cows when they are
finishing their evening meal, and see
ing how clean they lick out the man
ger, leaving as much as could be
put on the end of a penknife, would
conclude that the COWS were not be-
ing literally fed; in fact, that they
were half starved. And as con-
elusive evidence that such were
really the case, he would point at
the clearly defined ribs, sharp hips and
backbone, thin thighs and necks, and
probably remark that he would not
have such scrawny animal in his barn.
And yet, if an additional pound of grain
were added to their ration probably
half the cows would go off their feed
before the close of the week.
Our barn is open to the public and
scarcely a day passes when there is
not visitor there inspecting it. We
feed twice day and challenge anyone
to find in the hangers of the 40
cows cupful of food, grain or rough
age, after they have finished their
meal. Once in awhile, one not feeling
just right will leave little, but this
is removed at once, and generally by
the next feeding time she will need
the usual amount. No food should be
left in the hangers from one feeding
period to another. Cows should be
kept away from food between meals.

Yesterday afternoon about $50 O'Clock
