tanned the following:
with the recklessness produced by a
present which had no comfort, and q fu-
ture which had no hope. he (Burr) sur
rendered himself without shame to the
groyeling propenSities which had formed
his first step on the road to ruin. until
at last, overcome by disease, in the de-
cay of worn-out body, and the imbeci-
ity of a much-abused mind, he lay. shat
tered wreck of humanity, entering upon
eternity, with not enough of man left
about him to make Christian out of.
Ruined in fortune, and rotten in reputa-
ton, thus passed from the busy scene one
who might have been a glorious actor in
it; and when he was laid III the grave de-
cency congratulated itself that nuisance
had been removed, and good men were
glad that God had seen fit TO deliver So
ciety from the contaminating contact of
Il fostering mass of moral putrefaction."
Can it be possible that one with the
gentle blood of Jonathan Edwards in his
veins could so degenerate? The student
of human nature is at n loss to account for
such degeneration, so contrary to all
theories of development. The Bible stu
dent however, can soon solve the prob
lem. Burr chose such companions as Vol
taire and Paine, instead of the sacred
Book from which his noble ancestors drew
their inspiration. and hence the fall. Lack
ing that Keystone in the arch of manhood.
Christian morality, his brilliance, courage
and accomplishments, overcome by the
weight of passion, prejudice, hate and
sel6shness, gave way. and the whole fab
ric fell, mass of ruins.

Huxley And Immortality.

The literary world has been unusu-
ally interested in "The Life and Letters
of Huxley" recently published by his
son. A significant discovery is made
concerning his epitaph, chosen during
during his life time by Mr.. Huxley,
this epitaph haying been written by his
wife. 1t reads as follows:
And If there be no meeting past tire
grave
Ifall is dsrkness, silence, yet tits
rest.
Be not afraid, ye waiting hearts that
weep,
For God still "giveth his beloved
Sleep"
And If an endless sleep he wills-so
best.
1t this were ell one might conclude
that Mr.. Huxley was agreed with the
sentiment on ce written over the por-
tails of the cemeteries in France
"Death is an eternal Sleep" But its
significance is heightened by letter,
In the book referred to, from Mr.. Hux-
ley to John Morley. an extract from
which reads ss follows:
1t is . curious thing that l find my
dislike to the thought of extinction in
creasing % asI get older and nearer
the goal. 1t flashes across me at oil
sorts of times with sort of horror
that In 1900 shall know no more of
what is going on than did In 1900.
It thus appears the man of science,
along with the great American sgnos-
tic. voiced the general human instinct
and hope that "faith sees the glimmel
q star and hope hears the rustic Of
angels WINGS"
In both Huxley and Ingersoll, great
souls as they were, this hope had nevel
been nutured into the strength Of con
viction. They were ignorant of spirit
ual things becaute they had never cul
tivated their spiritual natures. One 4
reminded of Victor Hugo's saying
There is a philosophy which denie
the exlstance Of God and q future life
There is also philosophy Viii
denies the existance of the sun
This philosophy is called blindness."-

1t. If cows have not been accustomed
to 1t, they may, perhaps, do as we'll
without the noon feed as by giving more
at the other feeds.
IL. Cows should be watered at least
twice day when on dry feed, and the
water should be pure and wholesome
and at temperature that best suits
them, which is at least 20 or 30 degrees
warmer than Ice water.
IA. Cows should have at all times all
the salt their appetites crave, which is
from one to two ounces each daily.
II the above rules are followed, any
COW that is worth keeping will pay for
her care and feed, Any COW that does
not go pay should be disposed of. g. r.

caro- Of Dairy Cows


Whenever COW is kept for milk there
are few things that shodld never be
lost sight of. To the man with q few
cows and little money they are more
important than to the rich man With
many cows and more money. 1t should
always be the aim of the owner to 90.
cure the largest possib amount Of
butter fat because this is the only
true measure of the value of milk with
the minimum amount or expense, in
Guiding time, food and capital invested.
The COWS should be comfortable,
healthy and vigorous, able to consume,
properly digest and assimilate food for
her support and large surplus for
milk. The profit in dairying is always
measured by this surplus. Moderste
exercise, under favorable conditions,
will contribute to the desired result;
but every effort Of the COW beyond that
will detract from the profit. All the
energy used in warming up ice-cold va.
tor, every moment she shivers in the
cold wind, lessons the surplus of the
milk pail. Cold, damp, dark or dirty
stables are not comfortable; therefore,
In such quarters COW will not do her
best.
In the exercise of my duties as dairy
inspector l have visited every claas Of
stable, from the best to the worst those
that were dry, clean, light and we'll ven
tflated, down to those that were dark,
damp and filthy beyond description.
Hundreds of times 1 have been met
with the statement: II would like to
keep my cows clean, dry and comfort
able, but cannot afford It," In these
inspections we note the kind and
amount of feed used, the cost, etc. and
also the amount of milk produced.
This gives us y reliable basis from
which to determine the kind of care
and feed and the character of stables
that bring to the owner the largest re-
turns for the time, labor and capital
and brains invested. Right here it
might not be amiss to mention that 1t
has often seemed to me that . great
deal of time, and much hard, disagree.

i The men who leave Iowa for farms,
says the Minterset News, are missing it.
There is no state in the union where
one can be so sure of success in raising
Q crop % In Iowa. Neither is there any
place on the face Of the globe where
lands will enhance in value as In the
sorn belt. They are to be most densely
populated and the most productive
lands In tho United States. Tho young
man who can acquire good blue grass
farm and the education and experience
necessary to successfully conduct 1t from
this time on will doubtless enjoy a lar
ger income and independence Of life
than will fall to many men in the world.
To own blue grass farm will mean In
the future 20 have q steady and certain
income.

Dairy Rules.

1. Cows must have comfort or they
cannot do we'll. Give them good bed |
and comfortable stall with a. much
liberty as is consistent with security,
cleanliness and convenience.
2. Have the arrangement of the
stalls, cutters and fastenings such that
the COWS can be kept clean. Keep the
stable clean.
3. Have the stable ventilated in such
. way as to provide pure cir for the
cows without making it too cold.
4. Always be kind to cows, then they
will be glad to see you when you come
around. Speak gently to them and
never in angry tones. Remember Ward
q. Whites famous saying: always
speak to COW as you would to lady"
s. Give COWS chance to exercise In
the open cir when weather is comfort
able.
s. Milk regularly, at the same time
each day, dividing the day equally be-
tween milkings; cows in the same order
and by the same mixers, if possible.
Milk quickly but gently. Get all the
milk each time, but do not keep on
stripping after you have got it.
| 2. Feed COWS all they will eat of the
proper kind of food. The concentrates
should be feed somewhat in proportion
to the amount of milk each COW can be
made to give. But in no case should
the concentrates constitute more than
half, In weight, of the dry matter OF the
dairy ration-a safer rule is to say one
third. Give only whatlthey will eat up
or once. Have none left over in the
mangers or feed boxes for. them to
breathe on and get foul.
8. Feed variety of foods. They will
eat more and digest more because of it.
Feed nothing but sweet, wholesome
food.
8. Feed at the same time each day,
then cows will not be worrying about
their feed.
10. Feed as nearly as practical bal.
anced ration. But all COWS should not
\ be fed alike; those inclined to lay on
flesh should be feed less of the carbo.
hydrates, such as corn, and those in.
clined to turn all their feed into milk
should be fed more Of such feed.
II. In summer COWS should have good
pasture, other green food or silage. In
winter part Of the daily ration should
be silage or roots to enable them to dc
theirbest.
. IL. Feed both coarse fodder and con
centrsted feed both morning and eve
ming. Feed a small or coarse fodder al
noon II cows have been accustomed to
