Riqht Calf to Raise,

Perhaps you may say, raise those
that come from the best cows, suggest,
n. B. Terry, in the Practical Farmer,
All right, but that isn't enough. The
sire should have been a good individ-
ual, with the general makeup and
marks that to the practiced eye show
that he is such, and then also he
should be pure-bred animal. There
are plenty of pure-bred animals, with
long pedigrees, that have no value be
cause they are not by any means per
feet types Of their class. Better pay 9
man who is good judge $500 to select
a sire to head a herd, rather than take
an animal on his pedigree only. Yes
would not buy one at all unless l hac
the skill to pick him out. or could en-
ploy some one who did have This is
pretty strong language, but it is used
in all earnestness to help readers, t.
prevnt bitter disappointment in years
to come. Now. how are you to know
which are your best cows? Only by
weighing the milk and keeping a record
through the year. 1t vii do very well
to weigh once in 10 days, morning and
night, then multiplying by three will
give you closely enough, the amount
given in a month. Then, if quality is
an important factor with you, as when
you are selling butter or cream, you
should have a Babcock tester also
Then you can know absolutely which
COW gives you the most milk and the
richest milk. Their calves, from q
good, pure-bred sire, are the ones to
raise, If the calves themselves are a
right. Don't have a weak point in this

TRAINING THE TEACHABLE TURK
The Progressive Pasha Instituted Re.
forms Which Did Not Reform.

Mahmoud Pasha, one of the most
progressive subjects of the Sultan of
Turkey, vas sent to ST. Petersburg on
a special mission. His courtesy and
frank good nature won him popularity
IN diplomatic circles. He was eager to
learn new ideas and frequently dis
cussed the possibility of introducing
reform into Turkey.
One day the Turk was at luncheon AT
the quarters of Russian officer named
Birnedof. The conversation had turn
ed on the splendid discipline to be
found in every branch of the Russian
service. Birnedoff suddenly rang a
bell.
I'm going to show you how method
ical my orderly is" said he to Nah
moud Pasha.
trlm-looking young officer entered
the room, saluted and waited. Brine
doff gave him key and told him to go
to his Office and get certain bunch of
papers.
The nan saluted and left the room.
birnedoff took out his watch Keeping
mis- eyes fixed on the dial, he said: He
is going down the stairs he is in the
street" And then, after a long pause.
He has reached the war office; he is
going up stairs; he has entered nv
room; he has the papers and has start
ed back; he has reached the street"
Another long pause: HE is down at
the door; he is mounting the stairs; he
is here" AT this moment the door
|opened, and the orderly reappeared aaJ
placed the required parcel in his SUI
perior's hands.
The Turk returned home and a. onca
began to institute reforms. A year or
more passed, and the Russian officer
Birnedoff was in turn sent to Constan-
tinople. and became the guest of Nah
moud Pasha.
Count Birnedoff," said the pasha.
at an opportune moment, Il want to
prove to you that the Turk is as can
able of methodical training as the Rus
sian"
At the sound of bell liveried SER
want appeared. The pasta spoke to
him in Turkish. When the man had
left the room the pasha took his watch
in hand and said;
Now he is going down stairs; he is
IN the street" A long pause: He
has reached the building where my
office is; he is going upstairs; he is in
my room; he has the papers; he is
coming back"
AT this moment the door opened
suddenly and the heavy Kurd reap,
peared. "Effendim," said ne. with a
how salaam, Il can't find my shoes"

MARVELLOUS LIQUID.

An engineer of Munich. Max Eber-
hart, gave recently demonstration of
the effectiveness OF a new preparation
for extinguishing fires The trials. it
is reported. We're successful. The
preparation is liquid Of a milky color.
The first experiment showed that the
skin, when painted with the liquid, be-
comes inseusihle to heat. Rags satur-
ated with petroleum can be burned up
on the hand after it has been immersed
in the liquid, Small fires can be ex-
tinguished with the hands, and with
one pailtul OF the liquid fire in pit of
tar was put out in one second. The
tar, even after petroleum had been
poured over it, could not again be ig
nited, as the liquid formed q thin, un,
meltahle crust which completely eN.
tinguisbed in twelve seconds with q
little more than twelve gallons of the
LIQUID. Small quantities Ct the prep
aration are SUFFICIENT fCc oxtiugushing
purposes, SO that The damages produced
by water are avoided The price of
the liquid Is about 9,75 cent per quart.

This same Moor was taken to a ball
in Paris by French friend. In silent
horror he watched men and women
dancing together, and at last confided
to his friend that in a truly civilized
country like Morocco such women
would be deservedly strangled. His
hostess, taking pity on his loneliness,
asked whether he would care to dance
with her; but he sternly refused to have
anything to do with proceedings which
he considered utterly depraved.

shows that there arc other "attach-

An odd affair occurred when l was

steamboat stopped ut the binding. and
chase provisions. He went into Sal
loon on the way, and the adroit. in-
mates contrived to rob Him of all his
money. The captain of the boat. n de-
:termined fellow, went ashore in the
hope Of pCrSuading them to refund, but
they declined.
. Without further ceremony. the cap
tain, assisted by his crew and passcn-
gers, some 500 Or 400 in number, made
fast an immense. cable to the frame
building where the theft had bccn COM
phtted. Th"H Ec allowed fifteen min
utcs for the money TO be forthcoming
vpwinG that if it were not produced
within that time he would put steam
to his boat and drag tile house into the
river.
The thieves knew that lie would keep
Ills word, and the money was promptly
produced.
