Last Monday morning, after that
fierce electrical storm of the night
before, when Arthur Stoner, who
lives over east of the Station, in the
edge of Greeley township, went out
and took a squint along his wire fence
he could could COUNT six ofhis steers
that had been electrocuted. They
had laid down too close to the wire
fence and death was the result, some
of them being marked quite plain by
the fluid. Mr.. Stoner saved the ami
mails hides, dug a long deep trench
and then dumped 'em into it.
Next Friday the last day of school
will have arrived for Miss Lucille
Connrardy, who teaches down at the
Center school house; Miss Celia Peter
man, at number eight: Miss Bessie
Dodge, at number seven: and Miss
Maggie Donahue and these ladies
have decided to make it one grand
holiday and round of pleasure to the
scholars of their various schools. So,
on that day, with baskets filled with
good things to eat and pals filled
with good things to drink they will
go to the Kennedy wood, in the early
morn, and will not go home until the
bugs and insects and falling dews
force them to do so.

WEIGHING THE MILK
IMPORTANCE OF THIS MATTER TO
THE DAlRYMAN.
What Careful Selection and Breed
ing Have Done For the Denmark
Dairy Farmers Butter FCt and
Milk Y~ield-Proper Mating.

Mr.. John Speir of the department of
agriculture for Ireland in a recent ad-
dress on the subject, THE Feeding and
Management of Milk Cows" delivered
in County Donegal, said:
If milk cows of a good type are Sc
lected and properly treated, they will
give a good return, but if they are not
properly kept the result will be disap-
pointing. Farmers cannot be too par
ticular in the selection of cows for the
production of milk, particularly when
the milk is to be manufactured into
butter, and it is much more profitable
to pay a full price for a good milking
cow than have an Indifferent one fer
nothing. If heifer calves intended for
milking purposes were kept only from
the best milking COWS. four gallons Of
milk might be produced at the cost of
every three now yielded by most herds.
In that respect a valuable lesson was
learned from their keenest competitors,
the Danes, who % years ago We're not
dairy farmers at all. but grain produc-

Dear, I would be to you the breath Of balm
That signs from folded blossoms, wet with dew;
The days first dawn ray I would be to you,
The starlight's CHEEKY CLEAN. the moonlight's
calm;
I would be as a pillow to your cheek
When toll is done and care hath ceased to
grieve;
I would be the dear dream your soul doth seek,
The dream whose Joy no waking hour can give.
When strength is ebbing and the road is long,
I would be the firm staff within your hand,
A pillar of cloud in a sun beaten land,
A pillar Of fire where nights black shadows
throng.
Last, at deaths threshold, tender, faithful-nay!
What need to tell that which hearts truth hath
shown?
Is not all said, beloved, when I say,

Our Working
Girls.

Life to the most favored is not always
full of sunshine, but to the average
American girl or woman who is obliged
to work for her living, and, perhaps
to help others at home, life is often a
heavy drag in consequence of illness.
Women who work, especially those
who are constantly on their feet, are
peculiarly liable to the development
of organic troubles, and should par
ticularly heed the first manifestations,
such as backache, pains in the lower
limbs and lower part of the stomach,
irregular and painful monthly periods,

the well-to-do middle and upper classes

men in the capital of Seoul had

to meet an attacking force toward the
north Al the same time another force.
unknown to the Koreans. approached
Seoul from the south. Since every
able-bodied man had already gone to
the attack. the city and the remain
ing inhabitants were threatened with
destruction. The Korean women, how
ever. like their sisters in other parts
Of the world, devised a plan by which
they might fustrate the enemy They
donned their husbands long white
garments with the wide sleeves. and
gathering together marched boldly to-
ward the foe, who, appalled, by the
sight Of such an unexpected force Of
Koreans, fed in haste, and the city
