CoTvE of High QunIIty Seeded-Best

The heifer calves from the best cows

terests The ranges are producing beef
cattle. horses and sheep, but there is no
one as yet in the business Of producing
good working cows OF high quality, and
the supply must be produced by the
dairymen themselves.
Although good cows can be found in

be raised on small quantltyof milk.
w j. Fraser OF the Illinois station
gives the above advice and summarizes
his observation on individual differen.
ccs in the value OF dairy cows thus:
There are vast differences in the eifl-
cheney and profit derived from lndivid-

One COW may produce more than
twice MS much butter fat in n year as
another on exactly the same feed basis.

The OATS Answer

Since Rudyard Kipling published
The islanders there have been many
parodies. but no metrical answers
worthy of name until the following ap-
peared in the London Star:
Fenced by our patient fathers, ringed
by our peaceful seas,
Long did we wake IN quiet, and long lie
down at ease,
Till you said of Strife: Where is itg'
of the Sword: Let it fash again"
Till you made god OF wanton war and
an idol of armed men.
We stopped our ears to the warming
we would neither look nor heed
We set our hate above our laws, and
our lust above our need
Because of our witless rancor, aDd our
pitiless pride of race.
We grudged our brothers freedom, aud
our friends resting place
You clustered and Dragged and bello~-
ed, and we paid when you bade Us
pay"
But where are the fifty thousand men
that you twanged TO Table Bay?
For soon were the Judgments loosened
soon was our shame revealed,
At the hands of a little people. few bat
apt in tine field.
Though now they are only remnant
land Miner has started his Star
You ask for more OF our millions and
more of our flesh for war.
Sons you would tear from their mothers,
lads from their lasses sweet,
And brush them under the wheels of
war like the dust and dirt of the
street
And what did you look they should
compass? Glory that fades like
breath,
Glory to Gold in the highest at the price
of brothers death!
So. And we asked: rs it glory to hol-
low the veldt with graves,
And to build a gilded empire on the
backs of beaten slaves?"
But you said: The war is over" but
you said: The end is come.
And we swallowed the hocus Of Hat
field, we swdllowed lie Of Brum
Then we returned to our vomit, then
we conteuted our souls
With the kipling fools at the pothouse.
and the rudyard oats at the polls.
Given to strong delusion, wholly be-
lieving lie,
We saw that the war was not over, and
we let the months go by,
Waiting some easy wonder, hoping
some saving signs,
Cheated openly cheated-for the sake
Of the Sacred Mines.
Cheated-and sick of your Boosting. ah.
what is your Boosting worth,
When toe ink you fling is "A blotch Of
blood upon the rotten EARTH
II was not made with the mountains;

GROUND GYPSUM.
Practical Experience In Using 1t
Advanias:e In the Stable.

Practical Experience In Using 1t to
Advantage In the Stable.
Ground gypsum, according to Ca
madam farm investigator, may un-
dOubtedly be used to advantage in the
stable. The nitrogenous compound IN
the urine by the aid of certain micrs
organisms, always present In the air,
is converted very quickly into carbo-
nate of ammonia. This is volatile and
will escape If some suitable absorbent
or fixer is not present Gypsum is such
a fXer, converting the carbonate into
sulphate of ammonia, which is not vol
atile.
Practical conclusions from expert
ments are "a that the proper place to
use gypsum is in the stable, where I'M
doubtedly the greater waste of nitro
gen, as ammonia, frequently occurs,
and C2) that when me manure heap is
kept compact and moist there is not
any considerable escape of ammonia.
Fermentation increased the availa-
bility Of the phosphoric acid. 1t is to
be noticed that considerable loss of
potash took place. This must be due
TO n certain amount of drainage from
the maI.ure soaking into the board
floor. This drainage was no doubt in
creased by the water used in keeping
the manure constantly moist. This re-
suit coIToborates the conclusion that
loss of potash cannot be entirely guard
ed against without a water tight, con-
crete floor If the manure is to be kept
moist by rain or artificial means.

st. Patrick.

St Patrick was the Apostle of Ireland
He died March Il, 465, ever since re-
vered by the Irish as st. Patrick's day.
Three countries, Scotland, Wales and
France claim to be his birth place, bnt
it is fairly certain that France is the
right one The year of his birth was
either 377 or 3S7 When sixteen years
old he was kidnapped by pirates. taken
to Ireland and sold as a slave to chief
After six years captivity, he escaped
back to France became monk, visited
Rome and was sent by Pope Celestine
as a special missionary to Ireland. where
he worked with wonderful power He
is said to have baptized with his own
hands 10000 converts and esta blished
365 churches. His only writings GER
tainly remaining are his Confession
and letter to a Welsh chief named
Caradoc. He died near Dnwnpatrick,
Ireland. Driving out the snakes is
merely an ''adornment' to his memory.

The Biddle Reward.

At the meeting of the County Com
missioners of Allegheny county last Fri
day the Biddle reward money was divid-
ed as follows:
Detectives Charles G. McGovern,
John Roach and Albert E. Swinehart
will each receive $3.50 of the $4,000 re-
ward offered by the County Commis-
sioners for the capture Of the Biddles,
according to the decision reached by
County Commissioners Mercer, Murray
and Clark.
All claimants must, however, sign an
agreement to accept the awards made
by the commissioners as payment in full
before any of it will be pBid. Under
the award Councilman J. G. Splane, who
carried the first information to the
Pittsburg police, is to get $500; j. q.
SNYDER. who discovered the Biddles and
furnished and drove the sleigh occupied
by the detectives, is TO get $3.50; Frank
Holiday. who gave the alarm, gets $500;
Rainey Hoon. deputy sheriff of Butler
county, and Robert Ray chief of police
of Butler. each get 1915, and Aaron
Thompson. who drove the Butler party,
is to get $500.
BY this award the Allegheny county
claimants. with their driver, get So. 800
and the Butler claimants get 81, 400
That is an unjust division of the mon
ey, which should be divided equally
among the eight men who were at the
scene and took part in the shooting and
capture of the Biddles. The Butler men
should contest the award
W. q. Murrin and a. NJ. Christley,
attorneys for the Butler claimants of
the Biddle reward. were in Pittsburg
Tuesday and notified the Allegheny
County Solicitor that their clients
would not accept the division made by
the Allegheny County Commissioners
The Butler claimants have determin-
ed now to ask for the entire $4,000 on
the ground that the Pittsburg detec-
ives were salaried officers detailed on
the case and, therefore, have no legal
right to participate in the reward. 1t
is likely that stated case will be made
of it or else the Allegheny County
Commissioners will pay the money into
court and permit the claimants to fight
il out

NUT TREES WILL PAY.
Their Advantages Especially For
Roadside Planting.

Roadside Planting.
The black walnut and the butternut
may be grown in almost any deep, rich,
moist soil They each have quite a
wide range and thrive in almost any
good soil that is not too dry. These
two well known nut trees are often
found together, but the walnut is more
common in the south and west, the but
ternut in the north and east.
The chestnut has a somewhat mar
rover range, but succeeds well on most
sandstone ridges and in soils that con
tain little or no lime. The foreign chest
nuts may be successfully grated on
our native. The nuts are larger; but,
so far as | have tested them, they are
inferior in quality. 1t seems to me that
the common American chestnut is ad-
mirably suited for roadside planting
wherever The soil is congenial
Several species Of hickory might also
be used. For ornamental purposes
there are few trees that excel the hick-
ory in variety ana beauty of foliage.
The nuts are also valuable. the better
varieties commanding Il good price in
the market. Among the more desirable
sorts are the better varieties OF the

WASHINGTON NOTES.

The old adage about imam convinc-
ed against his will" was exhibited in re-
verse action In Congress last Friday,
when Mr. Dalzell was convinced in ac-
cordance with his will and acknowledge
ed his conviction with the most crafty
ing promptitude. Appropriations for
marine hospitals at Buffalo. Sayannah
and Pittsburg, $i25, 600 for each OF the
first two and 800, 900 for Pittsburg,
were presented, and several congress
men could not see why Pittsburg could
get along with $685. 900 less than the
others. 1t took very little discussion of
that sort to bring Mr.. Dalzell to frank
and manly confession that he had been
mistaken in supposing that Pittsburg
needed but the round hundred thousand.
He was the most promptly converted
man on record to the view that $l35, 900
was the proper sum. That change was
made, and Pittsburg has no complaint
to make Of Mr.. Dalzell's sudden enlight-
enment.-Dispatch.
