Stocked UP On Prayers.

One little girl that know OF is so
sleepy when she starts for bed that it Is
occasionally hard work for her to make
up her mind to finish the good night
prayer. A few nights ago she dropped
her head upon the pillows earlier than
usual She wasn't very sleepy and at
once began to lash off a prayer in re-
freshing style. The first prayer over,
along came another one and still third
About this time her mother, surprised
at the turn proceedings had taken, asked
the little one what she meant by so
many prayers. why" explained the
little girl, I'm going to say IL prayers,
now I'm awake, and then I can go two
weeks without saying one."-Loweil

The Size of Strawberries.

A certain grower of strawberry
plants says that he expects within ten
years to grow strawberries as large as
pineapples. We do not know how small
he has seen pineapples, but We have
seen watermelons that were not as large
as some strawberries. But, seriously,
We think the size of the berries we now
see is sufficient, and hope some one will
try to improve the quality instead OF
trying to increase the size. If we have
got to slice our strawberries to eat them,
it will seem to be a nuisance And most
of the very large varieties we have seen
were not equal in flavor to the smaller

BUYING MILK FOR CHEESE.
Payment on the Basis of Fat 1t Con-
tains Is Fair for All Parties
Concerned.

Cheese factories are rapidly changing
in many parts of the country to the
method of purchasing their milk by the
Babcock test, paying for it according to
he amount of fat it contains. This is as
1t should be. The old idea that the
amount of fat in the milk had nothing
to do with the amount of cheese it would
make is entirely erroneous; and besides,
it tends to develop poor conditions for
both cheese factory and patrons. When
patrons come to realize that the amount
OF cheese made is dependent upon the
amount of fat in the milk, those who are
producing good milk will demand that
their milk be paid for on fat basis,
otherwise the man with the poor milk
will receive part of the returns that
should come to them.
Prof. e. H. harrington says that for
every pound of butter-fat contained in
100 pounds Of milk 26 pounds of cheese
can be made. Thus, milk with three per
cent. fat in it would make cheese that
would weigh 7.S pounds, while if the
butter-fat amounted to four pounds in
100 pounds of milk, that is, was what we
call four per cent milk, the amount of
cheese made would be 10.4 pounds. Prof.
Harrington is an expert in these matters
and his figures are probably as accurate
as can be obtained. They demonstrate
very forcibly the advisability of buying
by the test even for cheese making.
Moreover, the quality of the cheese is
influenced by the quantity of fat in the
milk as the greater the per cent of fat
in the milk the richer the cheese Pay
ment for the milk on the fat basis will
cause an effort to breed for a richer
quality of milk, and this will react upon
the average quality of cheese from that
factory, enabling it to bring a better
price on the market and in the end will
result in higher prices for the milk
Like many other farm operations, in
studying the effect of given action. we
must look beyond the immediate effect
if we would realize the full possibilities.

Many Varieties Of Butter.

Some queer uses are made OF the
name butter. "Paraffin butter" is
made out of wood tar, and shea-butter
is described as follows: Shea-butter
is exported from East India and Africa
and is made from the kernel of Bassia
parkii This kernel is of the size OF a
walnut and surrounded by fieshy cap
sule which is edible. The tree attains
a height of about 25 to 35 feet. The
fat is rather tough in consistency and
STICKY, varying from white to greenish
gray in color, and is rather rich in
stearine.

THE STORY
OF DEBEVOISE
By WIZ. II. OSBORNE
Copyright, 1904, by Daily Story Pub. Coz


r HE general manager of the Empire
Gum e. Gelantine concern, called to
DebeVoise:
'Debevoise," he said in solemn tones,
"P b. Hathaway has got the govern
ment contract or will have it, this year.
/ got it from the inside. This is some
thing new for them, and it means a
small fortune. And we've got to have
their business. want you to go out and
sell 2. b. Hathaway all the stuff they'll
need. Sell it-that's all" He stopped.
"Say, Debevoise," he began again,
you're blamed good salesman, when
you keep sober. For heavens sake keep
sober this time"
Debevoise flushed slightly, and turned
on his heel. "Is that all you wanted to
say?" he inquired. That's enough"
answered the manager, you sell 'em
enough stuff'so that they can make glue
from now to kingdom come. We need
the money and we need it bad
Debevoise, be it said, was not the only
salesman on the fqui vive. There were
several who packed up their grips about
that time and started, as the crow flies,
for p b. Hathaway & Co., manufacturers
of glue and ink and other things. Per-
haps Mr. Timothy Higginson, of the
house of Porter Birdsell, was the most
alert of these.
I'm cracker-iack salesman in gum"
Mr.. Higginson was wont to tell himself,
''I'd like to see the man who can do me
at the game
But Mr.. Higginson for a reason of his
own, selected as his companion upon
this trip, very sporty friend of his.

Grounding Barbed Wire Fences.


A letter from Atchison, Kan, says
that an unusual number of live stock
have been killed this summer by light
ming running along barbed-wire fences.
Twelve cattle were thus killed recently
near Pennington; they stood with their
heads against the wire. Electricians
say there is no limit to the amount of
electricity a barbed wire can carry. but
that farmers can prevent this killing of
live stock by grounding the wires fire.
quently along the fence-that is, run a
wire connected with the barbed wires
into the ground from the posts at dis
lance of about 100 feet These grounded
wires will carry the electricity into the
ground A charge of lightning striking
a barbed wire will kill anything touch
ing the wire even though the fence be
20 miles long.

DIR. Lapponi, the famous physician to
the Vatican, whose name has recently
come so greatly to the front ON account
of his unremitting attention to His
Holiness, the late Pope Leo XIII, and
the high esteem aud confidence with
which he is regarded by the present
Pope, His Holiness Plus X, is man of
commanding genius. lie is more than
mere man of science; he is man of
original and Independent mind. I'm
trammeled by the "etiquette of the
medical profession and having used DIR.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People in
his practice with good results, he freely
avows the facts and endorses the value
of this remedy with an authority which
no one will venture to question.
Or. Lapponi's Letter.
"I certify that | have used DR..
Williams Pink Pills in four cases
of the simple an9mia of develop
ment. After few weeks of treat
ment, the result came fullyup tony
expectations. For that reason 1
shall not fail in the future to extend
the use of this laudable preparation
not only in the treatment of other
forms of the category of anamia or
chlorosis, but also in cases of neuras-
thenia and the like"
(Signedl GIUSEPPE IIAPPONI,

The "simple anemia of developments
referred to by DR.. Lapponi, is OF course,
that tired, languid condition of young
girls, whose development to womanhood
is tardy and whose health, at that period,
is so often imperiled. His opinion of
the value of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People at that time is of the
highest scientific authority, and it CON
firms the many published cases in which
an9mia and other diseases of the blood,
as well as nervous diseases such. as ner-
vous prostration, neuralgia, ST. Vitus'
dance, paralysis and locomotor ataxia
haze been cured by these pills. They
are commended to the public for their
efficiency in making new blood and
strengthening weak nerves. After
such an endorsement they will be ac-
cepted by the medical and scientific
world at their full value.
