On the Ranges.

Reports from the ranges indicate
a large supply of cattle and very good
agricultural conditions. The rains
have been copious during large part
Of this grazing season and conse-
quently the production of grass on the
plains has been good. The lack of
drinking facilities has not been felt
on the plains this year as in some
former years; for the reason that
many of the springs have been kept
supplied by the rains. This has made
a condition that is favorable for graz
ing. The only drawback is that last
winter was unusually severe on range
stock and they came into spring in
poor condition, thus necessitating a
longer feeding period in summer for
their preparation for market. The
abundance of good grass encourages
the rangers to believe that the cattle
will PUT on weight rapidly from now
on.

German Scholar Honored.

Kuno Fischer, the renowned phil
osopher and teacher of Heidelberg,
among the most distinguished Of Ev-
ing professors and the last represen-
tatiye of a great school of German
scholars, reached his eightieth birth
day recently. In spite of the old
mans protests thousands of students
who have sat at his feet gave vent to
their reverential and affectionate feel

Even the grave old senate of Heidel-
berg rose to the occasion and estab-
lished an honorary Kuno Fischer
prize. The great old man is rapidly
declining.

Corn in British India.

The cultivation of Indian corn, or
maize, has within the past century
become factor of great Importance
in the rural economy of British India.
The Indian Agriculturist (Calcutta)
OF June l, 1904, says: This grain, if
we consider the whole of India col
lectively, is now of equal economic
tracts Of the country especially, and
among the bulk of the aboriginal
tribes, it is chiefly depended upon as
a means of subsistence. Yet the bot
anist, Roxburgh, writing about hun
dred years ago, described it as 'culti-
waited in various parts of India in gar
dens, and only as p delicacy, but not
anywhere on the continent of India,
as far as l can learn, as an extensive

common Vernacular name, makkai,
derived from Mecca, is supposed to as
sociate it's introduction with the Mo-
gul dynasty. But there is no name
for maize in Sanskrit, and the grain
has no recognized place N the re-
ligiOuS or social ceremonies of the
Hindus. Few of those who cultivate
it now have any idea that it is an
innovation, and the fact that its local
name is often that of some much older
crop encourages the pious belief that
it has been the staple food Of the
district for untold generations"

Habit and Hens,

Anyone that has had the feeding OF
fowls for number of years will no.
tice what creatures of habit they are.
They become used to one kind of feed
and want to stick to that feed, in pref
erence to other feeds of the same gen
eral character. That is if the chicks
are fed oats they will always prefer
oats to other grain, and the same is
true if they are brought up on corn.
This does not hold good in the case
Of meat or green food being offered
after they have been on single grain
diet for months. Their feeling of a
lack in this respect overcomes their
inclination to stick to one thing This
can be illustrated by keeping chicks
for a number of weeks after they are
born on some particular ration like
cracked corn. They will then take
that in preference to other things Of
the same general nature. The writer
has had illustration of this again and
again. Thus some men have declared
that hens will not eat oats. The
writer has always fed oats in large
quantities to his fowls from the time
they were old enough to eat grain.
He once kept his fowls from oats for
a few days. giving them corn instead
Then he took the corn away and gave
the fowls a mixed ration of corn and
oats. The birds made Funge for the
oats, pushing the corn aside with their
bills and picking only the oats till
they were satisfied.

Thickness of Cream at churning Time

Thickness Of Cream at Churning Time
A well-known buttermaker says that
the richer the cream the lower must
be the temperature at which it must
be churned to get the best of results.
1t is not desirable to have the butter
fat comprise more than 80 per cent
Of the cream. Even cream of this
richness should be churned at about
so degrees, which is a very low point
to secure this time Of year. II this
rich cream is churned at a higher
point the body Of the butter will not
be what it should be. The housewife
is not likely, however, to have cream
of this kind unless the milk is from
COWS whose cream forms a very com.
pact mass. Cows differ greatly in this
respect. The cream layer on the
milk of some animals is so compact
and cohesive that when it is removed
from the milk it hangs together much
like a piece of leather. Other milk
yields a layer of cream that breaks
to pieces readily. This milk will not
churn quickly. In fact we have known
the first described cream to form but.
ter after being churned for two mfn
utes in common dash churn. It is
considered best, however, to dilute
such cream, as it is not believed that
butter churned in two minutes ha.
as good qualities as that requiring
twenty minutes or thereabout to churn.

The sugar Cane Convention
The convention that assembled
ait Jacksonville last week to dis.
cuss sugar cane may have no i'm
mediate effect upon sugar cane
production in this State, but il
will cause farmers to think more
about sugar cane as a crop, and
perhaps will invite the attention
of investors to the advantages
which are offered here for profit
able sugar production. Now,
sugar cane is cultivated chiefly
for syrup making, and the best
syrup in the world is made here
and it sells readily at a price
which yields better profit than
most any other crop.
One result of the Jacksonville
convention was the spread of the
fame of the Florida syrup. Mr..
Wilson, the Secretary of Agri-
culture, thinks there is great
wealth for Florida in syrup. He
has given special attention to it,
and stands ready to give testi-
monial as to it's merits. He says
that when it gets to be generally
known it will be in such demand
that it will become the principal
product.
Every year the demand for
Florida syrup is increasing, and
consequently the price of the
better grades is high enough to
cause farmers to give special at
tention to the production of it.

Do People Read the Bible ?

There is well-founded COM
plant that in these days young
people are not trained to read the
Bible as formerly. In the first
place, the practice of holding
family prayers has been given up
very largely, whereas it used to
be the common custom among all
church members. The children
grew up hearing the Bible read
daily, were usually required to
read one or more chapters day,
and to commit a certain number
of verses to memory. Then the
fact that in these days there is
less belief that the Bible was
handed down from heaven in its
present shape, infallible in line
and letter, and more, that it is the
record Of the human race, con-
tanning the whole Word of God,
has taken away some of the sa-
credness from the estimate of
the book, though even according
to liberal scholars this should
make it all the more esteemed.
Even to those who hold the most
critical view as to the origin of
the Bible it's value is inestimable.
Considered as literature, it stands
above every other work. AS his
tory, with all allowance made for
error, it is absolutely indispen-
sable to an understanding of the
human race. AS a repository of
the revelation of God to man it
occupies a place accorded to no
other book in the world. The
parent who allows his children to
grow up in ignorance of it's con-
tents is doing them a lasting in
jury. Every child should search
the Scriptures and know them.
Nowhere else will such labor be
equally rewarded, not only intel
lectually, but morally and spirit
ually.. There is need for a great
reform in this respect.-Phila-
delphia Inquirer.

There has been a revolution in
public sentiment in relation to
the Inauguration of a system of
public highways. Formerly it
was looked upon as merely a
local question to be solved as each
community might decree, but adj
vanced steps in road building and
road improvement have demon
strated that the question is one
of national Importance, and one,
too, that cannot be put aside.
Some of the best minds of the
country are employed in working
out the problem of public road
building. Some of the foremost
men of all the States are lending
their best endeavors toward the
establishment of an equitable sys-
tenn that will ultimately give good
public roads to every community
in the land.
The National Good Roads AS
sociation, composed of practical
men of all trades, associations
and professions, will hold ma
tional convention at st. Louis
from May 10th to 21st, to which
delegates from all the States have
been appointed. Those appoint
ed as delegates from Florida
should attend and receive the
benefits to be derived from the
great conference of road builders.
No community nor State nor
county can reap the full benefits
of it's labors or enjoy the comforts
and pleasures of it's civilization
without good roads. The condi-
ton of the highway affects the
interests of an entire community.
The rural sections, like the cities
and towns, must have improved
highways for the inhabitants to
have an even chance in the great
race for supremacy.

that one may live we'll in st. Louis
and see the great show for a cost
of SIPS per day, if ones means
be slender, and that from that
minimum cost the prices may be
gradually raised, according to
ones means, until the roof is

of the low-priced lists is for a
