The Faces That Smile,

Brother, you are gazing backward to.
ward the scenes Of your mistakes;
You are weeping Ger your errors till
your proud heart almost breaks,
You're repenting and regretting, you arr
signing, 20, alas!''
And you're missing all the glories Of the
present as they pass.
Leave the grim and grewsome picture
look the other way awhile,
For the face that's toward the future Il
the face that wears smile. ="
You are lost in contemplation Of the
blunders you have made;
You are signing DER the countless times
your soul has been dismayed.
But the. futures sun is shining on the
futures verdant trees,
And the futures birds are singing-you
are missing all Of these.
Cease that useless gazing backward, look
the other way awhile,
For the faces toward the future are the
only ones that smile.
When your back Is to the future then
the blazing lamp Of hope
Throws your shadow DER your landscape
and with blinded eyes you grope >
For the blessings that had vanished with
the times they strove to bless;
Face about and you'll discover all your
- groping's fruitlessness.
You'll be dazzled by the glory Of the
prospect for awhile, .s:
But with face turned to the future you
: will learn to wear smile.

complain that the cream is too thin,
and he wants to know If there is some
other way than by ageing the cream
to get the desired body. He writes
that by giving the cream age it is not
fresh enough to endure the careless

are always complaints about the cream
being sour when he attempts to hold
the cream a day or so in order to
thicken it before delivery to his Gus

Joseph Jefferson, the veteran actor
is very sensitive on the subject OF
his retirement from the stage. He
has been before the footlights since
a small child, and he has never
shown any desire to leave it. The
interviewer who puts the question OF
farewells to him gets rather SHARP
but pleasant reply, but a reporter in
the south recently got the best of him
The actor came down stairs at thu
hotel one morning and was much dis
turbed to find long but mysterious
ly worded article in which the word
retired was closely connected with
his name. He knew the managing
editor and made a half-hearted com
plant. The reporter was called in
and asked where he got the story,
'"rhe city editor told me to see Mr.

well, did you see him." said the
editor.

up my card to his room and it was

Cattle at Odebolt, Iowa.

The Iowa Agricultural College is
carrying on some elaborate expert
ments in cattle feeding at the Brook
mont farm at Odebolt, Iowa. The
farm furnishes the animals feed and
labor and builds yards, sheds, and
water tanks according to the plans
furnished by the experiment station
The station determines the different
+: lines of feeding to be followed, d.
vfdes the cattle into suitable lots and
details representative to take con-
troll of the work. At the completion of
the experiment, the data obtained is
taken by the experiment station for
qualification and the animals are re-
turned to the control Of the farm
which markets them Five hundred
steers and five hundred hogs are now
being fattened on the farm in these
cooperative experiments. Three tests
are being made in fattening steers, as
follows: Acclimat1zation test, light
and heavy ration test, supplementary
feeds test.
In the acclimatization test fifty
head of southern steers are fed in one
lot and fifty head of western steers
in a second lot. Each lot is fed all
the corn and wheat straw they will
eat. The object OF this experiment. Is
to determine from what section of the
country Iowa farmers will find it most
profitable to buy steers to be fat
tened.
Three lots of fifty steers each are
fed in the light and heavy ration test
All lots are fed all the wheat straw
they will eat. The maximum daily
ration of the first lot will be 16 lbs. of
corn per steer, of the second lot 20
lbs. of corn per steer, and of the third
lot "a lbs. of corn per steer. The OBJ
ject is to determine whether light.
medium or heavy feeding of grain to
fattening steers will give the greatest
gains for feed consumed and the most
profit.
In the supplementary feeds test five
lots of fifty steers each are fed. All
lots are fed all the wheat straw thew
will eat For grain ration lot oneois

A little examination OF these figures
shows that on the average a steer of
the fancy lot cost $38.365 and was
worth on May 16, $82.2S, gain in
value of $43.915. A steer of the in
ferior lot cost $32.361 and was worth
On May 16, 1855, a gain in value of
S26.289. But this is figured on uni
form market, which is correct so far
as this experiment goes. But as a
matter of fact the market has de-
clined. and the fancy grades have SUI
fered more than the inferior grades.
It seems altogether likely that, owing
to this state of the market, the in
ferior grade will prove the most
profitable. But feeding experiments
cannot be adjusted to fluctuations of
the market, and much light is certain
to be shed abroad by this experiment
with carload lots.

Feeding in Summer Drouth,

From the Farmers Review: The
necessity Of maintaining normal
flow Of milk during a summer drouth

profit. In complete soiling the Wis
consin Station shows that one acre
of soiling crops equals two and one
half acres of good bluegrass pasture

Ing Is an economy that no dairy farmer
should neglect. Supposing the drouth
to come about the 25th of June, your
first substitute will be red clover, II
you have it. Don't use rye; it will
faint the milk. II clover is not on
hand, SOW Canada peas and oats, each
one and a half bushels per acre. For

again. If the season proves wet, your
first sowing of peas will be failure,
as far as the peas are concerned, for
they will lodge and rot of. When
cured before ripe enough to shell, this
makes excellent winter feed, being
rich in protein. Millet, sown one
bushel to the acre about the middle
of May, will be ready to succeed the
peas and oats in 20 days.. BY this
time King Corn has elevated his ban
ner and should be given right Of way.
A plat of some OF the early varieties
OF sweet corn, followed by another Of
Stowell's Evergreen, will carry you
through until the field corn is right,
and no waste land, for every one of
the above mentioned makes good win
ter feed when cured in the proper con-
dition. The silo is said to be the
panacea for dry spells, but as cannot
speak from experience, silence is
golden" Hoping that the star of al
falfa will soon rise east of the Mis-
sissippi, meanwhile experimenting a
little in that direction, we mainly rely
on the method above set forth. Use
brains. They are as necessary as feed.

Grades Of Cattle and Profit.

Grades Of Cattle and Profit.
At the University Of Illinois are be-
: ing fed six carloads of cattle for the
, purpose Of ascertaining what grade of
cattle will yield the most profit for
. the operation of feeding. These six
. carloads consist of sixteen steers each.
They were purchased by Professor
Mumford, who was careful to select
steers for each lot that should be rep
resentative. The six grades were, the
fancy selected, choice, good, medium,
common, inferior. Every load is fed
In paved lots of equal size provided
with the same kind and amount of
shelter and the same exposure. The
xaHons fed to each are of the same
kind and of the same amount to a
thousand pounds live weight of cat
tie, except in such instances as the
appetites of the cattle belonging to a
are being overfed or underfed as COM
pared with other grades of cattle used
in this test.
A committee of three expert buyers
of live stock visits the station at in
tervals of one month and fixes the
money value gain that each lot has
made per 100 pounds during the pre-
sceding month. These three men are
