Same fate by hairs breadth; two men
drowned at Rockland and two others
rescued by two plucky women; 10
years-old girl, who says she lives in
Portland (but whose mother denies part
of this, and much more of her romantic

without change. The jobbing trade appears

We do not like to see men who have
stock of their own to sell at private
sale attend public sale and buttonho.e
intending buyers and endeavor to per-
suade such possible customers to ac-
company them to their homes where
they win use their utmost endeavors
to sell stock that otherwise would have
been purchased at the sale, and all
fair minded persons have contempt
for such practices. At the series OF
sales held in Ohio last week, good
many western breeders were attracted
by the liberal advertising of the par
ties who held sales, and we were
panied to see men worthy OF better
things trying to induce visitors to go
home with them and strongly urging
the merits of their own stock. We be-
lieve if these men had considered the
matter properly, they would not have
been guilty of such breaches of honor
/ and good faith. There is in fact no
! difference in morality between seal
ing corn from a neighbours crib and
1 stealing customers at his public sale
that have been brought there by the
advertisements of the seller. We be-
Iieve that all right thinking men viii
agree that the sale day and all the
patronage of the crowd belongs first
to the man that holds the sale or sales.
Breeders who sell at private sale have
indirectly been greatly benefited by the
.lperal advertising of those who have
held public sales and breeders who
were guilty of such dIscourteous con
duct should content themselves with
these benefits without striving to di,
vert trade from the sale that rightly
belongs to it.

Ths American nlble socletr.

The American Bible Society is sup
ported chiefly by Methodists, Presby-
terians and Congregadonalists and its
three secretaries are selected from
those religious todies. Recent reports
concerning It's condition and It's plans
emanate from sources that are. to say
the least, woefully misinformed.. One
report was to the effect that it was
to come to an end. Such an occur
renee would be national calamity, If
not national disgrace. The Bible
house. for many years its New York
headquarters, has been in the real es-
tate market for four or five years.
The reason is that Office buildings in
rapidly growing cities get out Of date
and out OF location. That is the story
of the Bible house. The property is
very valuable, and any change that is
made does not affect one way or the
other the standing Of the society. AS
for the manufacture of Bibles, the So
ciety does not affect the regular Bible
trade. and Is not in turn affected by It

EstImatIng Quality of nutter.

Most makers of butter on the farm
would be offended If told that they
did not know good butter or were not
able to score their own butter Yet
such is the case; and it applies also
to creamerymen that make a business
of making butter. man cannot Judge
of butter without comparing it with
other butter. The commission men
that handle large quantities of butter
are able to tell very closely, but even
they are often thrown off the scent
when they go to a creamery and try
to form correct opinion OF butter
without means for comparison. The
maker of butter on the farm need not
therefore be surprised if he or she fail
signally in forming a true estimate Of
their product. Surrounded by the
aroma of the butter and the milk. as
well as of the other odors in which the
butter is made, it becomes difficult for
the maker of the butter to really form
a correct opinion of its value. Just
as a person coming out of the open
air into a closed room can detect odors
that the people that have been long
time in the room cannot detect. so
the maker in the midst of the odors
of butter making has taste deadened
to proper appreciation Of true fiavors.
1t therefore becomes necessary for all
that wish to make the best commercial
butter to submit their butter to the
Judgment of men that are free from
all influences likely to bias the taste.
There are few people who think they
are worse than they really are.
