Pasturaue and Quality,

The breeds Of cattle used for pro-
duclng milk from which choice butter
Is made are but the agents for con
verting the different foods into The
commodity desired, and the skill and
labor applied render the products Of
better finish in appearance, but the
quality Is also influenced by the food,
and especially by the pasturage Pas
lures differ greatly, some varieties of
grasses being better adapted to GER
tain locations than others, and, as the
animals also differ individually, the
most uniform product is that which is

cheaper in America than in England,
our farmers rely principally upon nat
ural pasturage, probably induced by
the better adaptability Of the grasses
to the soil, and their greater hardness
under favorable conditions; but the
European farmer gives his attention to
the cultivation of the pasture, using
manures and fertilizers, and selecting
those varieties of grasses that assist

varied, combining not only the most
nutritious grasses, but also those that
more or less flavor the product, as it
is acknowledged by the most expert
enced dairyman that some foods will
produce butter and other products of
a better quality than will others, and
this result is partially obtained by
cultivation, every noxious weed being
eradicated, and the nutritive grasses

aged by seeding, the less desirable

TO the fact that the Parmesan and

Cowpea hay, therefore, contains less

Three Reasons for Our Education.
"There are three great reasons for
our education, three great lines of &C.
tivity. We are educated for ourselves,
to make the most of ourselves, we
want to perfect our faculties and the
education of ones rights will not inter-
fere with any ones education. One
great point is to show our neighbors
examples, that they may be benefited
thereby. If you do not strive to raise
the lowly, they will pull you down, so
there is an object IN higher education.
We represent Christ on earth and
surely He would not do other than
good. Then let us do that which He
would do and 1t will certainly feel
glorious to know that you are educat-
ing as well as being educated. The OBJ
ject of education will ultimately result
in the clarifying of God.
Never Cease, But Work Constantly.
"Be strong and avoid the many
snares that are put upon this earth to
tempt you and to find your weak
nesses. Avoid all temptation and have
an unrelenting yearning for education
for it will not come to him that tries
to avoid it. Never stop working until
your education is perfect and when
this is done, you will find that 1t is a
pleasure to lay the browning efforts of
your education at the feet Of our
Savior"

Eldon, Sept. 6.-(Special.) -"The
greatest, grandest, most largely at
tended and most successful Big -Four
fair that has ever been held" are
the words used by w. G. Grow, pres
ident of the fair association, in a
short address at the close of the an
nual event. Not an exhibit was
sighted but each received it's quota
of attention and everything tended to
show that the fair was a success
from start to finish. The different
displays in the art hall, the many
exhibits of stock, patronage of the
sundry shows and the vast amount of
attention received by the harness
events plainly showed that the fair
was an unprecedented success in ey-
cry way, financial and otherwise. Al
though the attendance yesterday did
not quite equal that of Thursday, en-
thusiasm was rife the entire after
noon. A stiff wind blew across the
track the greater part of the after
noon, but this did not hinder the speed
sters from making excellent time.
The 2:2: pace and the 2:45 trot di-
yided the attention of the crowds and
both these events were prettily run.
The Money Winners.
The first race of the day the 2:25
pace, was won by Pickup, owned and
driven by J. B. Eye of this city. P. E.
