'eIt is astonishing" said a western

I called, and, being in hurry, Invent
to his home to see him.
"a lady, who I afterward learned
was his wife, met me at the front
door, and asked for Mr.. Blank. She
said he was not feeling very well and
was taking nap. I told her had
some beans to sell, and, as was in a
hurry and lived some distance In the
country, would like to see him, If pos

An Essay ON Habit.

A schoolmaster once said to his p,.
pills that to the boy who would make
the best piece Of composition in five
minutes on "How to Overcome Habit"
he would give prize. When the five
minutes had expired, lad of 8 years
stood up and said: well, sir, habit is
hard to overcome. If you take off the
first letter, it does not change 'abit.'
If you take off another, you still have a
bit left. II you take off still another,
the whole Of it remains. If you take
off another, it is not totally used up,
all of which goes to show that If you
want to get rid of habit you must
throw it off altogether" Result, he
won it.

The Enect 3f the Acting Upon One
Woman's Nerves.
In The Woman's Home Companion
Lillian Bell writes of her experiences
at Oberammergau and of the impress
sions made upon her by the great
Christ drama. She concludes with
these vivid words:
''As to the play Itself, wish need
say nothing about it. My mind, my
heart, my SOUL have all been wrench
ed and twisted with such emotion as
is not pleasant to feel nor expedient
to speak about. It was too real, too
heartrending, too awful I hate, ]
abhor, myself for feeling things SO
acutely. wish were a skeptic, a
scoffer, an atheist. wish I could d

play. I wish could believe that it
all took place 1000 years ago. l wish
/ didn't know that this suffering on
the stage was all actual 1 wish /
thought these people were really Tyro-
lese peasants, wood carvers and pot,
ters and that all this agony was only
play. l hate the Women who are
weeping all around me. l hate the
men who are letting the tears run
down their cheeks and whose shoul-
ders are heaving with their sobs. 1t
is SO awful to see man cry!
'But, no; it Is all true. 1t is taking
place now. I am one of the women
at the foot of the cross. The anguish,
the cries, the sobs, are all real. They
pierce my heart. The cross, with it's
piteous burden, is outlined against the
real sky. The green hill beyond is.

and butterflies dart across the shafts
Of sunlight. The expression on Christ's
face is one of anguish, forgiveness and
pity unspeakable. Then his head drops
forward on his breast, it grows dark,
the weeping becomes lamentation, and,
as they approach to thrust the spear
into his side, from which, have been
told, the blood and water really may
be seen to pour forth, I turn faint and

In good pasture regions it is a note
worthy fact that most of the dairy
cows show better health than those
kept in regions where the grass is less
luxuriant and plentiful, says New
York farmer in American Cultiyator.
In some of the states where grass pas
lures were naturally good years ago
the cows presented far better appear
ance than they do today when other
crops have crowded out the grassfelds
or poor farming has permitted them to
degenerate. Unquestionably the grass
lestfon has much to do with the
i, ralth of our dairy cows.
4 fine breed of dairy cows was never
IA tproduced In regions where the grass
vas poor, and we cannot do better than
TO go back to first principles in our eff
forts to improve the stock The prime
essential is good grass. Without that
no amount OF good feeding or care will
quite make up for it. Good grass pas
lures mean good soil and well watered
land. To obtain these there is needed
good farming, general and dairy farm
Ing. One to large extent supple
ments the other. cannot imagine a
good dairy farmer neglecting his soil
and pastures or, for that matter, any Of
the crops that are raised on the farm.
More than anything else our whole
dairy interests require some change in
methods which will bring our farms
back to the old rich pasture production
period which made them originally so
profitable for dairying. Let grass, rich
and succulent pasturage, be made the
foundation of the whole matter. De-
vote more time to increasing the grass
yield of every acre of land, and there
will be required then less knowledge
about animal ailments and disease
Because we do not have sufficient
pasturage of the right kind for our
dairy cows we have to consider ways
and means to feed them so they will
keep in health and yield the greatest
amount of milk. We have to mix foods
in different proportions to increase the
butter fats or richness of milk and
cream. All this is attended to by ma
ture when the pasture is rich and sue

whole system of dairying. Let us have
better grass, better pastures, and then
we will have better dairy cows.
Temperature For Churning.
A lower temperature is necessary
in summer than in winter churning,
says writer in National Stock
man. Always test it with reliable
thermometer, and If the churning can
be done early in the day so much the
better, for when the sun gets hot it is
almost impossible to have the butter
come nice and hard, even with the ice,
much less without this most necessary
adjunct Of the summer dairy.
No rule can be given as to tempera-
ture Of churning. Much depends upon
the cows. the cream and the tempera-
ture Of the room, but it is safe to say
that for exhaustive separation and
slight loss this cannot be relied upon if
above 60 degrees. 1t is an undisputed
fact that with Jerseys or Guernseys a
higher temperature is admissible, since
the butter from such cows stands up
better in hot weather than from ami
mails not of these breeds, yet even
then So degrees will be found better
than 60, since 1t is difficult to hold an
even temperature under ordinary cir
cumstances on warm day.

Professor Roberts Of the Cornell ex-
pertinent station gives direction for
forming a permanent pasture, which
we condense says American Agricul-
turist. Plow now and SOW with buck
wheat, to be plowed under when in
bloom. If part of the land is moist,
SOW it with four quarts of rape seed
per acre, which may be fed down by
sheep, but If fed or not turn rape stub
BILE under at same time as buckwheat.
II cost is not too great, SOW from 10 to
20 bushels fresh Stacked lime per acre
and then harrow 1t In. After this or
when seed is sown use from 100 to 200
pounds per acre Of mixture made
from 1000 pounds acid phosphate, 300
pounds dried blood, 200 pounds nitrate
of soda, 300 pounds muriate of potash.
For reseeding he advises the following
mixtures per acre. soWn about Sept. l.:
Red clover seed, 6 pounds; alsike clo-
yer, 5 pounds; Kentucky blue grass,
orchard grass, meadow fescue and
red top, 31a pounds of each; tim
othy. pounds. This is a very
good mixture, but for New England we
should put four pounds of white clover
In place of the alsike or add it to the
mixture and If the pasture was for
dairy purposes would add four pounds
sweet vernal grass and two pounds tall
oat grass per acre to insure good early
pasturage. The little extra cost would
be quickly repaid.
Many pastures are not well selected
as to character of soil and location and
hence are of little aid in profitabIy
maintaining a dairy herd. The best
grass land should be ehosen-that is.
land fertile and capable of retaining
moisture, as occurs where there is a
clay subsoil. Once established, a good,
reliable pasture is the cheapest and
hence the most profitable means of
maintaining a summer dairy.
The Oxeye Daisy.
The daisy is most troublesome in pas
ture and sod land. but is not much seen
in well cultivated fields: consequently
when any seeding down is done it
should be to clover and again plowed
up after the one crop is cut and taken
off. which should be before any daisy
seed has matured.

The lone passenger. who was also
without q rain protector. congratulated
the guard.
The two carried on q pleasant con-
versation. only Interrupted by stops at
stations In time the train reached
the Eighty-frst street station, where
the passenger was to get out. The
guard had carefully deposited his um-
brella In a corner Of the front plat
form Of the car. While he was busy
opening the gates the passenger quiet
ly lifted it from it's resting place and
left the car. AS the guard closed the
gates and gave the bellcord vigorous
pull he saw his former passenger walk
ing along the platform carrying the
umbrella.
"Hey, there! Stop 1t! Bring that

passenger.

STANDARD TIME.
TO Ascertain and Promulgate II II q
Costly Task.

IL
"What time is itr" Few questions
are more common than this, and yet
each day the United States government
goes to great expense In giving It an
official answer. To ascertain the In
slant when 1t is noon on the seventy.
fifth meridian and to send that infor.
nation all over the country Is great
and costly task. The astronomical
observatory In Washington computes
the true time, which is thence trans
mitted by electricity to every important
city and town
About FIVE minutes before the Wash
ington noon the telegraph companies
cut off all their regular business except
on lines where they have more than
one wire. They then connect all Inn
portant points, from which there may
be numberless ramifications, with an
electric wire going into the great clocA
in the observatory so that all over the
country its tickings may be heard. For
the ten seconds just before IL o'clock
there is silence, which is broken by the
moor beat" Regular business Is then
resumed.
In some cities the wires connect with
a time ball which drops with the noon
beat. The time ball In Washington
over the state, war and navy depart
ment building is three feet In diameter
and can be seen from all parts OF the
city. Crowds frequently gather about
to see 1t fall. q distance of 21 feet, high
In the air. The man whom some Of the
spectators suppose to be dropping the
ball is merely there to hoist It again to
its place.
In the building beneath are % clocks
which are each day automatically cor
rected by it. An electrical device 'sets"
them. placing hour, minute and second
hands exactly vertical at the instant
the ball drops. The hands that are too
fast are pushed back, and those that
are slow are thrust forward
Although Washington Is on the sew
enty-seventh meridian, the noon hour
is for convenience computed for the
seventy-ffth, the time standard for the
eastern part of the United States. In
the central belt, which Is governed by
the ninetieth meridian, the signal from
Washington means IL o'clock, In the
Rocky mountain belt 1t is 10 O'clock
