Made Temporary Truce.

James vi of Scotland-afterwa
James l. of England-in 1887, being
much perturbed by the constant quar-
rels among his mobiles, determined to
end all disputes by summary process
of reconciliation. Accordingly, having
assembled the mobiles on Sunday, May
IA, at Hollywood, in the lodging of Sir
James Maitland of Thirlstane, he drank
to them and caused them all to shake
hands. On the following day, after
banqueting them in Holyrood, he
caused the earls of Angus, Montrose,
Mar and Glencairn, also the master of
Glammis, and many others-all deadly
enemies to one another-to march
hand in hand two abreast from the
abbey to Hollywood along the Canon
gate and High street of Edinburgh to
the town cross, where the provost and
bailies had a table spread with wines
and sweetmeats. Here the company
once more drank to their eternal
amity and separated. But few weeks
later they were lying in wait, as of
old, to kill one another.

Show Yard Standards.

The show yard standards of cattle
have not always been the same, and
hence it is impossible for a breeder
dard from year to year. He may be
breeding toward the show yard STAN
dard of to-day and away from that OF
ten years to come. We remember
that twenty years ago the animal that
was fit to win in the show yard was
the great heavy steer weighing some
times ton. We remember that men
kept breeding toward that standard
from year to year and for some time
were successful in carrying off the
greater number of premiums. But
change came in the market demands,
and 10, the steers and bulls and cows
that had been bred for show pur.
poses through generations of their an.
cestors were out of type. A recent
winner at the International was asked
how it was that his steer, weighing
about 1850, CHANGED to take the first
prize. He replied that during many
years he had been breeding only with
the idea of putting good cattle on the
market. He said that during all this
time the demand had been changing,
and with it the popular idea OF what
was the best kind of steer. He had
not followed the ideal, but the ideal
had CHANGED to get around to his kind
of an animal, and he had thus taken
a prize that had made him famous:
1t is probable that show yard stan
dards will continue to change. The
man that will win in the future, as
in the past, must be to some. extent
able to look ahead and see what the
demand is to be in a coming year.

Reducing the Grain Ration.

Reducing the Grain Ration.
There is no doubt that in the past
a great deal Of grain has been thrown
away in the feeding of all kinds of
farm stock, through the feeding OF
quantities in excess of what could be
utilized by the digestive apparatus Of
the animals fed. We have assumed
that the more feed used by the animal
the better. We have taken it for
granted that the animal that received
twenty pounds Of grain day got from
1t twice as much nourishment as the
animal that received ten pounds per
day. We are now finding that this is
not SO. This fact is bound to greatly
modify our systems Of feeding farm
animals. The problem is to get the
amount of feed reduced or increased
to the point where it will be expended
with the greatest possible profit to
the owner Of the animal. There is
such thing as producing flesh and
fat at too great an expense. Expert
ments have been made that showed
that steer fed eight and nine pounds
Of corn per day made the same gains
as the steers fed twelve and thirteen
pounds of corn per day, all other
parts Of the ration being the same in
all cases. The results of feeding steers
from twenty to thirty pounds of corn
a day showed that 1t cost as high as
ten pounds of grain to make one
pound of gain and that at this cost
the increase of weight was not nrofit-
able. The amount of grain to be fed
will, of course, depend largely on the
kind of grain being given and on the
other things that go to make up the
ration. We believe it doubtful if more
than twelve to fifteen pounds Of grain
can be profitably fed to finishing
steer on the ordinary ration.

Don't Carry Cigars.

I desire to suggest to cigar smok-
ers.
Don't, at this time of the year, or,
in fact, at any time, carry one or sew
eral cigars in the left or right upper
waistcoat pocket. The body is a rare
absorbent, and, especially in summer,
with wide open pores, if tobacco is in
close contact, there is likely to be an
absorption of its principles which will
result in vertigo, faintness and per-
haps worse.
Enjoying the best Of health, I could
not account for some very peculiar
sensations at times which gave me the
utmost alarm. Even in bed l would
experience something approaching a
sinking spell. l traced the cause to
my habit of carrying cigars in my
waistcoat pockets.-New York Times.
