Keen Good Cows,

II Is just as essential to keep good
cows as any other animal. No man
can afford to keep poor cows, and es-
pecially the poor man. If rich man
wants to waste his money in poor cows
1t is not quite SO bad, but poor man
must know better, or he cannot expect
much profit. In order to make head
way the poor man must keep animals
and use feed that Will make the
largest profit. You cannot afford to
keep a single COW that does not make
you a profit. Be practical and busl-
ness-like and apply the only sure test.
Keep q book in which to enter on one
side all milk. cream and butter,
whether consumed by the family or
sold. They are worth IN your family
exactly what you would have to pay
for them Il you had no cows. On the
other side enter the feed consumed,
whether purchased or raised on your
farm. The hay or corn fed is worth
on your farm the market price, less
cost of delivering to market. This
test, even If conducted for n short
time, will show you facts and not what
You guess about 1t. Some people re-
fuse to spend money for the best feed
for their cows. This is poor economy,
because 1t is simply an investment
which will bring good returns. In Sc
lectng choice dairy cows. If the rich
est milk is wanted, keep the Jerseys;
II both butter and milk are wanted,
keep the Ayrshire, but If large quanti'
ty of milk is wanted for the manufac-
ture of cheese. then the Holsteins
must have first place. But, however,
in either case always select the best.
Suppose you pay $50 for a poor COW
and come out even at the end of the
year. Suppose you pay SEQ for first
class COW, anu at the end of the year
she can show yoC profit of $50. II
you keep coGs for profit just figure
this over carefully. 1t requires just as
good business qualities to be a sue
cessful dairyman as Il does to be sue.
cessful IN any other business. If you
don't think so you had better quit the
business.--E. l.. Morris in the Epi-
tomist.

ILLUSTRATE YOUR BOOKS.
How to Add to the Interest and Value
Of Your Library.

You are all aware that there are
coming from the presses all the time
excellent pictures relating to every.
thing under the sun, and especially to
the scenes and characters of well.

would make IL that you preserve such

then use them to illustrate your own
books. II will be easy, for instance,
to secure portraits of the authors In

about pasting in what you find. II is
wiser to keep an envelope-large

bending them-and collect whatever
comes rightfully to hand and is
thought ft for the purpose. After

you can sort out the best and pre-

Illustrating" as 1t Is called, are very
finical about the work, and have the
pictures so prepared as to seem made

that you all have something better
worth your time and effort. It will
be best for you to mount your pic

How to Get Better Fruit.

At the present time much talk pre-

to Improvement by selection, says
American Cultivator. 1t is not i'm

sale. While selection is all right and
important, snap judgements are to be
avoided.
A few years ago a nieghbor of mine
found on n farm on the border OF a
mellow a tree bearing extra fine Por-
ter apples. The next spring he took
scions from that tree and asked me to
graft them unon a Porter tree stand
ing on his own grounds. | expressed
to him doubt as to their being any
better when grown on his tree than
that tree was growing. But he claimed
that it was different kind of Porter;
was dead sure of 1t, in fact. grated
his tree, and while doing it l cut
scions from the tree and grated them
into a branch in the ton of the tree,
him what | had done, and told him
that II, when the CRAFTS commenced
to bear. he could tell me which crafts
came from that tree. would pay him
back the money that he had paid me
for doing the work. In due time the
CRAFTS fruited, and he was unable to
distinguish one from another by any
difference in size or quality of fruit.
This case of selection did not meet ex-
pectation.

There are no rich men in Japan, as

40 On $500. Out of every 1000 in

The Real Robinson crusoe.

The novel Robinson Crusoe" was
founded on the experiences of a GER
tain Alexander SelkirH, Who resided
four years on the Island Of Juan Fer
nandez in the Pacific Ocean. Captain
Rogers, commander of the vessel
which rescued Selklrk, related the
story, and Defoe afterward worked II
up into the narrative now so familiar
to all, 1t was for this reason that De
foe was accused of pilfering the manu-
script, and even of having stolen many
letters belonging to Selkirk. Defoe Il
said to have made snug fortune from
the sale of Robinson Crusoe," and out
of the proceeds of the book to have
built a fine house for himself in a sub,
urb OF London. So 1t must have won
instant popularity.-St. Nicholas.

Hon. w. G. Irwin, in an interview

the article of P. C. Jones upon An

used by Mr.. Jones, while agreeing with
some of the main points.
81 am said Mr.. Irwin, IAN annex

of our joining ourselves to America
we were drifting in doubtful fashion
and that the act of annexation was
that of casting anchor into firm hold
ing ground, but do not believe that
because we are annexed we should

lation; neither do I believe that the

have been abrogated. The treaty was
think extended US by the United States
as a hold upon the islands. The Unit
ed States could not have afforded to let
US go and I do not think the failure
OF annexation would have meant abro-
cation.
"I agree with Mr.. Jones as to the
cause of depression in business,
through the subscription of blocks of
shares in new plantations which were
and are not worth the money often
advanced upon them. The mortgaging
of property to meet assessments on
inflated stock has undoubtedly done
much to create present conditions.
Tourists and settlers are no doubt to
be encouraged and it is pleasant to

argument that no special privileges are
