Building on this theory. Eternal
ism teaches that man builds his own

we have neglected the laws of health:
ignorant because we have failed to
improve our opportunities: fretful.
despondent, lazy or cowardly because
we have cultivated mean-spiritedness:
boosters, drunkards, ingrates. thieves.

There are many ways of dabbling

Immense Cattle Ranch.

A dispatch from Austin. Tex. says
w. C. Greene of New York and three
other Americans have purchased q
solid tract of land, situated in the
state of Sonora, in northern Mexico.
embracing 100000 acres. This land
is now being inclosed with four
strand wire fence, and is to be the
largest cattle ranch in the world.
The tract is 1875 miles long and 100
miles wide. More than 1000 miles OF
barbed wire will be required to fence
it. It is estimated that this vast ranch
property will afford pasturage for
about $4,000 head of cattle in its pres
ent raw condition.
The usual western ranch will fur
nish grass for about thirty-six head of
cattle to a section. This number is to
be greatly increased on this Mexican
ranch by means of forage crops. 1t Is
proposed to establish an immense ir'
rigation system on this land and to
give much attention to farming.

Scientific Knowledge Needed.

There is no industry or pursuit OF
any kind in the practice of which so
much scientific knowledge can be
made available as in agriculture. Why
do farmers send plants to the botan'
ist, insects to the entomologist, sam
Piles of soil, feed stuffs, ETC., to the
chemist, sick animals to the veteri-
marian, ores to the minerologist,
strange creatures to the zoologist,
and employ scientific engineers and
mechanics? Certainly it is because
they do not themselves possess the
scientific knowledge required to an
swer the questions they propose.
Would not farmer be better farm
er if he could answer all these ques-
lions himself? Would he not be bet
ter farmer if he had enough scientific
knowledge to settle even the simplest
of the questions that often present
themselves? Would not any amount
Of scientific knowledge be some help?
Would not many farmers be benefited
by the possession of knowledge
enough to enable them to properly
appreciate the value of scientific
knowledge, and avail themselves of
others wherein he is deficient him

Care of Dairy and MIX Utensils.

Care of Dairy and MILK Utensils.
One can not help but feel proud Of
their young sister housewives when
they, having been reared in cities and
towns, marry young farmer and be-
gin at once to be practical and help
ful-a real helpmate. In writing for
home and household and dairy de-
partments, get many inquiries per-
tanning to all kinds of home work,
ETC., and many of these dear young
wives get into my heart-more deep
ly than they imagine. 1t is my duty
of course to investigate and to find
out the best means and methods. In
reply to this sensible little wife, l
will say that you are sure to sue
coed, with such courage and determ-
nation. In regard to the questions
you ask about the care of milk uten-
sis, will say that many a pound of
butter and gallons of milk and cream
are lost and spoiled because the
churn, butter-bowls and milk-pans
had not been kept perfectly clean and
pure and sweet; for the least impure
ty will impart an unpleasant flavor.
Nothing takes on impurities so quick
ly as milk and butter.
The best way to clean milk vessels
is first to rinse in tepid water, then
wash in hot rain-water and add ia
blespoonful of borax to gallon OF
water. Turn the milk crooks and
pans upside down and let them drain;
then set up in the air again. Borax
kills all disease germs, bacteria and
purifies and keeps it as nothing elsa
wills. H., in Dixie Farmer.

Nurses Experience,

readers:
II have constantly used St. Jacobs Oil in
the various situations I have occupied a,
nurse, and have invariably found it excellen,
in all cases requiring outward application,
such as sprains, bruises, rheumatic affection,
neuralgia, etc. In cases Of pleurisy it is an
excellent remedy-well rubbed in. can
strongly recommend it after several wear,
use and experience. 1t should be in eyerv

Sister CARo1.NA, St. Andrews Hospital

eAicacious remedy in govt; also in sprains and
bruises. Indeed, we cannot say too much
in its praise, and our doctor is ordering i,

the apples and pears, especially when

Of corn. Apples are selling now at

If the time spent by Kentuckian'

our state would be a paradise lf

a rare luxury. Out in Laurel county,

viting sections of our state, natural
ly, a colony of Swiss have beautiful

yards.

HERE AND THERE.

-Overgrown, over-fat, lazy hens
are the prolific mothers of infertile
eggs. The active, hustling, bug-hunt-
inF hens furnish the largest per cent.
of eggs that become chickens.
If the hens do not rustic enough
10 keep them in condition for laying
fertile eggs and reasonable number
of them, it is a good plan to give
them little less food. This will give
them the spur of appetite to urge
them to scratch for supplementary
rations..
1t is predicted by so1Ee that top
cattle will bring So per hundred be-
fore the first of July. If SO it will be
gratifying to the producer and feed
er, but possibly not SC encouraging
to the consumer, who will be com
PEELED to pay his butcher ittls
more for his steaks. .
The secret of making prize-win-
ming beef cattle is to have the prop
er stock to build on, and then never
allow them to go backwards, but with
bountiful supply of the proper food
push them, keep them not only in
growing condition but fat from the
time they are calves until they are
ready for market.
When Texas mealfed cattle bring
from Sc to $6.25 per hundred, as they
have been doing recently, it shows
that there is nothing the matter with
the demand. Texas feeders are high
" satisfied with the results and the
only regret is that they did not have
more nerve and buy more feed last
fall and feed more cattle.
Secretary Wilson Gays that the
high prices now prevailing are due
entirely to the natural law Of supply
and demand. Prosperity has come in
. greater or less degree to people in
ali the walks of life during the past
wear and the consumption demand
never was SO heavy as now. Cattle
prices are the highest in eighteen
years.

East Indian breathing Exercises.

The Indian sages do not practice
their breathing exercises simply for
the sake of repose and sleep. Dur
ing the in-breathing energy is in
creased. These Indians are not the
only people who believe that with
the in-breathing of pure air there
comes something still more vital than
oxygen; but the Indians have devel-
oped the art of breathing more than
any other people. One of their IA
vorite exercises is to inhale through
the left nostril, to hold the breath
for time, and then exhale through
the right nostril. Another of their
exercises is to drink water through
the nostrils, and after it has been
retained for short time, it is ex-
PEELED through the nostrils and the
mouth. This is said to cool the
lhead.-ChamberS' Journal.

OUR POPULAR NEGRO MUSIC.
Heard Everywhere i'm This Country
Excepting in the Churches-lt
Pleased Prince Henry.

Prince Henry expressed curiosity
about our negro music almost as soon
as he arrived-it was naturally one OF
the things that would impress him in
reading about us. When at last he was
bile to hear this music his favora BILE
impressions were confirmed. he was
most cordial with the singers-we be-
lieve that they were from Fisk univer-
sity. He shook hands with all of
them, said that he hoped that the
music of all their songs had been writ
ten out, as it was eminently worthy of
preservation. and begged for such
copies as they were able to furnish to
him. says the Hartford Courant.
We ourselves all know that this IA
vorable opinion is fully deserved.
Negro music is not a curiosity, like
some of the monotonous and melan-
choly chants of the east. 1t is not
wild yawp. such as our English friends
long expected of us in poetry. in order
to secure fresh and distinctive
American note. Negro music is
musical, and possesses the capacity to
express all the human emotions. AS
a matter of fact, the people who have
made this music are rarely dominating
or defiant or triumphant. and these
notes are seldom heard in their songs.
except as an expression OF religious
hope or confidence. But negro music
is often pain itself; pain softened by
patience: suffering with all the misery
left out and all the melody left in, and
again it is sheer, bubbling Joy in exist
ence. without conscience, without past
or future, without care or suffering,
lust good nature saturated full of hope
and happiness. Between these two ex-
tremes negro music touches human
emotion at every point, and with pre-
else expression. It's great quality
the quality that is irresistible in its
appeals probably its hearty SINGER
ity. The Italians speak Of the tear in
the voice as the ultimate height
reached by the trained human voice.
and of course they write music of this
pure emotional quality: but the negro
makes music so pathetic and tender
and sincere that it well-nigh places the
tear in the voice of itself, and at any
rate often brings the tearto the eve.
Negro music is not in any way char
acteristic of the United States. 1t is
not masculine; it is not pushing; it is
not tumultuous. There is almost al
ways running through it soft and
gentle appeal. But this country alone
has it; it is the contribution of our
negro people to our pleasures and to
our gentler feelings. It must be adj
mitted that the American people have
taken the gift in good part. Negro
music is heard everywhere in this
country. unless it be in our churches.
Our theaters are full of it, in the or
chestra and on the stage, and so are
our drawing-rooms. 1t is the one
constant note in all orr everyday
| musical life. That it should have
pleased Prince Henry is not at all
strange. for it is really music, and of
fine quality.

Give Something Back To the Soils.

Every farmer should study to give
back to his farm the fertility he has
taken away by crop raising. The
easiest way to do it is to feed live
stock. Raising crops continuously
will impoverish the soil, even if they
are rotated. The man who feeds his
crops to his stock in the long makes
the most money and keeps his land
up to higher condition of useful
ness. AS a general thing the farmer
who feeds gets much more for his
corn than tie man who sells his crop.
