A novel feature of the Colorado
exhibit at the ST. Louis worlds fair
will be a miniature irrigated farm
a real farm, with growing crops.
The farm will consist of ten acres,
in one corner of which will be a
small range of hills, representing the
Rocky mountains; reservoir at the
base of the hills will contain the
water that flows from fountain
spring gushing from the, side of one
of the imitation peaks; radiating
from the reservoirs will be canals
and bitches irrigating the fields of
growing alfalfa, potatoes, corn, beets
and other crops Indigenous to Colo
RADIO soil. 1t is expected that this

Nobody living outside New Yorl

Nobody living outside New York
knows how difficult it has become
there for people of moderate means
to bring up their children in the love
of genuine things. 1t is still done
by many, says the Century, but with
increasing effort, and only by dint of
strong will and an inheritance OF
the truest graces of life; simplicity.
the domestic affections, and the love
of nature and ones kind. It is to
the cultivation of these graces that
we must look for rescue from the
artiticiality and the vulgarity of the
pitiable circle in every American city
known as "the smart set"

Levi Bulls.

In the spring OF 1854 Levi Bulls, in
the prime Of early maphood, came
and settled in Decorah, then Z primi.
tive town indeed.
On the 23rd of July, 1902, after
more than 4s years OF incessant labor
his body was laid beside his two
children In Gods half acre, and we
hope that bis indomttable spirit is at
rest.
Mr.. Bulls, fresh from school, at
once became prominent as citizen,
and his voracity for work and agrees
I've energy soon placed him in the
'front.' rank of his profession-a noble
one when honestly followed-and he
possessed the highest ideals of an
attorney, and no man can truthfully
say that he was not honest with his
clients, or that he ever employed
trlckery or chicanery in the conduct
OF bis eases. He won or lost in an
open and fair fight while putting
forth every honorable effort possible.
He was imbued with spirit OF
chivalry in high degree and was at
all times willing and anxious to
defend anyone whom he believed
others were trying to oppress. No
client whom he believed had a lust
cause ever sought his services in vain.
Though he loved to make money, vet
he loved his profession better and he
would undertake the cause of a Door
client and furnish money to fight his
battles.
He hated tyranny and oppression 10
much, or even the appearance of the
same that he was in practice an icono-
clast and could not and would not
brook control. This rendered it i'm
possible for him to become and remain
long member of any party or organi-
zation. He was an independent of
the Independents.
His zeal for what he deemed the
right carried him beyond all bonds Of
reason. 1t made him intolerant and
in great measure hampered his use
fulness in the eause-he wished most to
serve.
He was a man Of heart, man of
action, and Jealous as . martyr, q
man of strong passions governed by
impulses and not calm Judgment, yet
his heart was as pure as the heart of a
child and his life was clean.
He hated sham, he hated 'fuss and
feathers" He loved young men-he
loved children and little child could
lead him.
Above all things this many sided
man of whom it can truthfully be said
that he was without a model and
without a shadow, has his memory
enshrincd in the hearts of the poor
and lowly whom he loved and aided
always.-Geo. w. Adams, in Decorah
Journal.

of tigers in every detail. Re taught
three of them to do more work IL the

down between two of them at rest

their claws to see if any of them were

Before he was noticed on his return to
the sage he had gone in with his tigers
and fallen in heap on the floor. The
other keepers tried to take him out Of
the cage, but to have done so would
have meant bitter and rloody fight
with the three striped ones. They
guarded him all night in his drunken

Corn and Cob Meal.

The fact cannot be too strongly en-
phasized that the best form in which
to feed corn is in the form of corn
and cob meal. There may often be
times, owing to the coudition of corn
or for other reasons, when it will not
pay to grind the corn, provided you
have hogs to follow the cattle. But,
considering the results obtained by
feeding agiven amount Of dry corn to
cattle, they will be found to be decid-
edly in favor of the corn aud cob
meal.
Experiments conducted along this
line indicate that 100 pounds of corn
and cob meal will make just as many
pounds of gain as 100 pound of clear
cornmeal. This factor will effect a
saving Of % per cent of your corn,
which is very important considera-
ton, when it is worth 60 cents per
bushel. This is not due to the nutri
tive value Of the cob, but to the i'm
provcmcnt that it makes in the me
chanical condition of the feed No
animal, and especially ruminant,
wants too rich or concentrated a ra-
ton. If one were to use an album
dance of bran, ground oats or similar
bulky grain feed along with the corn
meal, the necessity of having the cob
present would be very much lesscned.
AS to adding more corr so as to
make the proportion of cob less to.

better plan is to add some other grain
product, thus giving them greater
variety.-Farm Visitor.

Near my old home, down South, in
Alabama, is lake which, until last
winter, had never been frozen, when
ior the first time solid sheet of ice
covered the surface of the water On
the shore of this lake was little
cabin, the home Of happy family Of
negroes.
"Onc evening large flock of wild
geese alightcd on the ice and settled
down for the night. When darkness
came the whole family armed them
selves with clubs, won't out on the ice
and started in to kill the geese, which
they thought were asleep. But here
they mistook the situation.
''The poor goose were wide awake,
but could not get away because they
were all frozen tight to the ice. Still,
they made one mighty combined effort
to escape and in doing so carried away
with them the layer of ice which had
covered the lake, and with it the ne
groes, and flew straight up until finally
they disappeared from view and were
never seen again.
"None of this unhappy family was
left behind except the aged blind
grandfather, who had remained in the
cabin, and it is for this benefit I am
