TOUCHED HIS KINDLY HEART
Anecdote Which illustrates LincoIn's
Broad-minded Charity.

Abraham Lincoln was not what
might be termed religious man, but
he possessed that quality which alone
makes religion admirable-broad char.
ity that takes no note of cant and de-
spises sham of every sort. At meet
ing held recently in Chicago to raise
funds for the endowment of a hospital
number of speeches were made COM
mending the worthy charity and
sounding the praise of the manage
ment of the institution. But none Of
the speakers once during their little
talks alluded to the main object of the
meeting until it came to Representa-
tive Goldfogle to address the gather
ing.
After stating that he had listened
with pleasure to the high words of
praise and commendation bestowed by
the speakers on the management Of
the hospital he said he had failed to
note that anyone had felt it necessary
to call the attention of the audience to
the purpose that had brought them to-
gether. This oversight on the part Of
the gentlemen who had preceded him
reminded him of a story.
when Lincoln was president of the
United States," he said, he took a
walk down Pennsylvania avenue one
cold winter evening During his stroll
he met poor, forlorn woman, thinly
clad shivering with cold. When she
saw the president she mistook him
for minister, and, falling upon her
knees, with hands uplifted, begged his
blessing saying that she had three
small children at home starving and
freezing to death. She said: oh, Mr.
Minister, pray to the Lord to help me.
when she had finished President
Lincoln said: My good woman, it's
not minister that you need. You need

That's what l am trying to do.

But you have called volunteers"

stop the war?"

"You are joking, Mr.. Lincoln"
mo. am in dead earnest. Some
things are easier to stop by letting
them run a while and slow down
gradually, than by jerking them up
suddenly, especially il you don't
know just what is making them CO.
Let me tell you story:
When | was a boy about fifteen
l had to ride horse over to a neigh
boring town. The man that owned
him gave me quarter to take him
there and get him shod. Well, didn't
know much about horses except from
behind plow dragging after them.
SO when l got on that horse felt a
little awkward. l thought I'd start
right, so l cut switch and rode off
bravely.
After | was beginning to get a
little sore. and the horse was begin
ming to find out the sort of green rider
he had on his back, something set
him going, and he broke into a gallop.
He got going SO fast that I had to
take both hands to the bride, SO
tucked my switch under my arm,
grabbed the rein in both fists and
yanked. He gave a leap and went
harder than ever. l yanked and he
ran, and the harder l pulled the more
unmanageable he got. After a mile or
two of pretty uncomfortable going, |
found that the end of the switch under
my arm struck him in the flank every
time | pulled. Now | don't know
enough about this war yet to feel sure
that ought to yank back. But hope
if let it run long enough to look care
fully all around me, | can make it
SLOW down in reasonable time"

Feeding for Eggs.

From Farmers Review:-I would
not advise any one that has good,
healthy flock to undertake doctoring
them with antidotes with view of
forcing egg production, either sum-
mer or winter On most farms there
are plenty of feeds that would go to-
wards making perfect balanced ra-
tion, If we take advantage of it. The
secret in making hens lay is simply
providing them with suitable feed,
and it's safe way. Corn, wheat,
oats, barley and millet seed are good
poultry feeds, some do not believe in
corn, but their reasons are mostly
like the small boys because" The
Agricultural Experiment Stations tell
us that corn is one of the very best
feeds for poultry, but they do not tell
us to feed 1t exclusively; still more,
cool reasoning would not suggest
that we feed it exclusively.
The natural makeup of their feed
is a variety; little of this and that
and constant exercise in procuring
1t. Some tell us to make them
scratch for their feed, a more correct
way to say 1t would be to let them
scratch for their feed; they would
rather do it than not, besides. 1t does
away with gorging and encouraging
a lazy lumix disposition. Corn ex-
clusively, or in fact wheat or millet is
too heavy and too rich, something to
make bulk must be added. l know of
nothing better than wheat bran to
balance up heavy rich feed-it's so
common though that it is hardly DOB.
ular. Bran makes bulk, not only
bulk. but it clears the passages and
keeps the digestive organs in condi-
tion. Bran alone would be too light
for an exclusive feed. besides, 1t
would not be in line with nature to
feed nothing else. The craw is a
grinding mill and we must keep 1t at
work
The different grains would not be
a perfect feed alone; grass, insects
and dozens Of things we hardly think
OF. go towards completing the nat
.ural wants. Fowls on free range
usually find these extra knickknacks,
but penned-up fowls or fowls in win.

How We House Our Barred end Buff
Rocks in Winter

NOCkB III "lNkCT.
From Farmers Review:-When
we began raising fancy poultry like
many others we made many mistakes
in the construction Of our buildings.
We arranged the houses to suit the
ground instead Of convenience for our
selves and comfort for the fowls. Our
first house faced the west. Was COW
cred with shed roof made Of boards.
The floor was OF earth. The roosts
we're made of strips and hung to the
wall with hinges, SO as to be raised
up out of the way when cleaning out
the droppings. But We soon came to
grief. A skunk burrowed under but
failed to get out before we arrived. A
short war followed. HE paid with
his life for the keen pleasures Of
moment" The moles worked up the
floor and the hens by wallowing In the
dust made 1t almost impossible to
clean. The roof leaked and the sun
only got into the house during the
afternoon. Our next building was
made with gable roof. 1t was twelve
feet wide and long enough for three
pens. This house faced the south.
About two-thirds of the roof sloped to
the north. thus giving greater height
to the side through which we wished
the sunshine to enter. In this we
placed cinder floor. We covered the
roof with shingles Used common
boards for siding and lined 1t with
building paper, placing a window two
feet square in each pen about foot
from the ground. The fowls did fine
in this house. We were never troubled
with frosted combs and have found it
warm enough for brooder house dur
ing February. The great trouble with
this shed was the large space in the
gable and the cinders on the floor
made 1t difficult to clean. This season
we have erected a four-pen house fac
ing the south. making it five feet high
on the north side and eight feet on the
south. The siding is common stock
boards and the cracks are battoned.
The lining is Of heavy felt paper. The
roof is of shingles. We placed four
windows two feet square in the south
side. These are about eighteen inches
from the floor. We also placed an out
side door into each adjoining lot. We
sided up the partitions solid for two
feet and finished out with lath. A door
hung on spring hinges was placed be-
tween each pen. The feature of this
house was the cement floor. The
roosts were small tressels placed over
dropping boards, making it easy to
clean out and the litter is kept of
Of the floor. We think this house is
dandy.-A. A. Anderson, Macon Coun-
ty, Illinois.

Little Australian Butter in England.
We are still increasing our pur-
chases OF foreign and colonial dairy
produce. The quality OF butter re-
ceived during the five weeks ended
August 80 was 453.7S8 cwts., being
an increase of 74.570 cwts. over the
corresponding period of last year. OF
this quantity 393,632 cwts. came from
foreign countries and 60.156 cwts
from Canada. Denmark, as usual,
was the chief supplier with 171,676
cwts., Russia coming next with S6.-
Sl9 cwts. During the same period
464.743 cwts. Of cheese were import
ed, being an increase of 116,O3l
cwts. over last years figures. OF this
quantity Canada supplied 4O1 1875
cwts., and foreign countries 62.94S.
OF the latter the chief suppliers &re
Holland. 2s,33S cwts., and the United
States, 1896 cwts.
Messrs. Weddel and Co. In their
latest market report say: The de-
mand for Canadian butter Is some
what checked by the lower prices at
which inferior buffers are offered,
and which, retailing at shilling q
pound, bring the retailers a greater
profit than Canadian. 1t is true the
consumer gets an inferior butter. bait
that is his fault, for not being willing
to pay more than a shilling. In Can
ada prices are advancing, and the
lowest quotations have been left be-
hind. Choicest" Canadian on the
spot makes 96s. to 9ss. per cwt. for
salt, with Is. to 3s. more for saltless.
In reply to cable asking what
were the prospects of Australian sup
plies of butter for the coming season,
we have received the following re-
ply: "Butter-there is every pros
pect of exports being much less than
last year" This information agrees
with the views Of all who are in in
innate touch with Australia. When 1t
is remembered that last year the i'm
ports from Australia were only 7.449
tons, against 1856 tons for the pre-
vious year, the seriousness Of the
above cable becomes apparent to ev-
cry buyer of Australian butter for
the coming season.-Dairy World,

opinion of Mr.. Kidd, an old friend of
Lincoln, is one of the first early like
nesses of the great emancipation. Mr..
Kidd thinks that Lincoln must have
posed for it while he was trying a
law case, as it was his habit, when
pleading, to run his hands through
his hair. Mr.. Kuehlman paid fifty
cents for his treasure.

Iowa as a Dairy State.

H. R. Wright, dairy commissioner Of
Iowa, says: Iowa is a great dairy
state. The creameries of the state an
nually make about S0,000,0OO pounds
of butter. The census of 1900 says
that we make 61,7S9.288 pounds of but
ter on our farms. The same authority
says that there Is made in the United
States 420,954.016 pounds of creamery
butter and 1,071,745,127 pounds of
butter produced on farms. So that
Iowa, with 56,025 square miles of area,
produces almost 20 per cent Of the
creamery butter, and nearly 10 per
cent of all the butter made in the
United States. The value of our dairy
products is about s2s,OO0, 900 annually,
to which must be added the value OF
milk and cream consumed as such,
and the value Of the SKINNED milk
and other by-products which must ag-
gregate, perhaps $5,O0O,0O0 more. All
of these figures are very large and
naturally are q source Of some pride
to those engaged or interested in the
dairy business. But our pride in this
does not increase our bank accounts
The average number of cows kept
by the creamery patron is only seven,
and the average butter production per
COW is less than 140 pounds. If it is
true that it costs $25 per acre to keep
a COW it will be seen that there is not
an extraordinary profit in the product
of the average cow. The profits in
dairying would be larger and more
certain il the cows were fed and cared
for with more attention to proper
methods, and the number of cows
would be very much greater If the
possible profits in dairying were better
understood.

From Farmers w:-The dry

April often has hard time during
winter. She is turned with the year.
ling or two-year-old steers, and with
them gets the run of the corn fields,
and at other times receives only corn
fodder for her daily ration; or, prob
ably, With her companions she takes
her chances at the straw pile. Pro-
gressive farmers hav~ learned that
corn stalks or wheat straw alone do
not give profitable growth on young
stock, nor satisfactory gains on older
ones. In fact, they have decided that
instead of getting a profit from their
rough feed they often lose the profit
obtained on last summers pasture, and
all has to re done over again next
summer. Surely the dry cow should
have our sympathy. True, she may
not be turned into money very soon.
II steers fail to grow or gain on such
food, much less could we expect dry
COW to produce well-developed calf
and feed it well afterwards on such
food. Then she is not only expected
to feed the little youngster. but to
give one-half of her milk to the family.
II this supply is given, the COW must
be storing q reserve force when dry.
II allowed to rough it through she all
the while gives away from her own
system instead Of laying up a surplus
for future needs. Glover hay with
some corn or bran with corn fodder
and timothy hay will be fairly good
ration for the dry COW. Do not feed
too sparingly of the bran foods.-W.

ARRESTED For Perjury

Associated Press Gable to the Star.
PARIS, July 16.-As a result of the
magisterial inquiry into the death of
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Fair in an au-
tomobile accident the two alleged wit
nesses who testified that Mr.. Fair died
first, were arrested for perjury.
The Nelson's, Mrs. Fairs relatives
who are contesting on the ground that
Mrs. Fair died last, brought these two
witnesses from France to the United
States to testify, They wre Lucien
Mas and NJ. Moranne. Their testimony
IN New York was badly twisted up be-
fore the hearing had been concluded.
The reason they can be prosecuted in
France for perjury is that they told
their story under oath to a magistrate
in Paris. The story has been ques-
toned many times and it is now declar-
ed that the two men were miles away
from the scene of the great tragedy at
the time it occurred.
