Trying on ancient armor is not al
ways an agreeable experiment, judg-
ing from the experience of French
artist. He had bought a quaint old
helmet and put it on his own head to
judge the effect. Unfortunately he
touched a spring, the visor shut down
suddenly, and, being alone in the stu
dio, he could not free himself from the
medieval head covering without help.
At last he ran into the street, where
his appearance created considerable
amusement till charitable passerby
managed to set him free-Hour Glass.

shinping Agents Not Happy.

Steamship agents are not happy be-:
cause the spring bookings for Europe
are not so large as last year, and they
do not anticipate any great increase
in westward passengers because OF the
st. Louis exposition. Last year i61.-
43S cabin passengers were recorded as
either coming from or going to Europe.
There were 10000 in 1891. but i'll 1895

LaFollette's position in Grant
county is injured rather than bene-
flied by the uncompromising atti-
tude assumed by his exhorters in
this section. If the Republican
ticket is to be successful in this
county this fall differences must be
dropped, the state factional fight be
ignored and all work in harmony
before and after the convention.
No attention should be paid to flimsy
arguments on the part Of papers pos
ing as Republican whose principal
purpose is to engender bitterness S
and warfare in the ranks.

;ARM, GARDEN
AND HOUSEHOLD
By S. A. COOK.

older sections Of the country, even in
the South.The destruction of trees of all
kinds has been very great in recent
years and there has been little planting
to take their place.
Investigators at the North and West
have taken the lead in finding some
thing which while being suitable for
the several purposes in respect to
durability, etc, would be of quick
growth.
In some sections of the Northern
states. they are finding, from all ac
counts, this tree in the catalpa. There
are two well known varieties of the
catalpa, one of which is very common
along all our Georgia rivers. This va
riety is said to be catalpa bignonOides
and differs considerably from the catal-
pa speciOsa or hardy catalpa, the kind
being discussed and recommended for
planting at the North.
The Southern catalpa, granting there
is only one of the varieties in our
section, has a more spreading habit of
growth. and does not naturally produce
a tall trunk suitable for poles longer
than or feet. Fifty years ago in
Southwest Georgia the catalpa was
used considerably as a sidewalk tree,
being somewhat ornamental and Civ
ing a good shade.
Can any of our readers tell us any
thing Of the catalpa whether there are
two varieties to be found along our river
banks, and whether any use has been
made of the tree for fence posts or for
other purposes?
There is this about it. Either varie-
ty is hardy in the South, and if the
one is not valuable for the purposes
named the other can easily be intro
duced from the Northwest. The tree
bears freely of seeds, producing them
in pods like a long bean.
1t may be the very tree for live posts
as well as dead.
Both the Kansas and Ohio experiment
stations have issued instructive bull
letins regarding the hardy catalpa."
1t is a subject worthy of some at
tention from our own experiment
station.

Two cows-"The cows may dliter
very little as to their production and
vet one may be worth twice as much
as the other. One COW cost $50 to keep
and she produces $55 worth of butter
The other COW costs $50 to keep and
she produces $50 worth of butter.
superficial estimate would place the
two cows in value as IL is to II max
ing the best cow one-eleVenth more
valuable than the other. But the
fact is that the method of comparing
the cows is faulty. 1t is the profits
that must be compared and not the
total receipts for the milk. Compar-
ing the profits we find that one COW
gave S. profits and the other $40
profits Therefore the second cow
was worth twice the first. The first
COW we will say, sells on the market
for $50. The second COW is there
fore worth 500 That the public has
not vet taken that view of it is evil
denced by fact that these two cows
will sell in the market at about $50
and $35 respectively. We do not put
the proper financial value on the good
COW and we give the poor cows too
high a value But it frequently hap
pens that the difference in profits be-
tween two cows is very much greater
than this. One COW will make 50 a
year profit and another SIS year
profit. The one is worth fifteen times
as much as the other is worth. When
farmers come to really appreciate TINS
difference the good cow will be more
commonly kept on the farm than she
