THE SCIENCE OF FEEDING.

Linseed meal is best for milk; cotton
seed meal If you make butter.
Moldy stalks may do for beef steers,
but they spoil the milk if fed to mich
cows.
Feed is more expensive than care, yet
you are continually giving more of it.
Add a liberal allowance of intelligent
care to your general rations and note
the results.
Feed the dairy COW in proportion not
alone to her present production, but
with an eye to her actual capacity and
feel satisfied with nothing less than her
best work.-Farm and Home.

Cattle Buyers for the Big Packing

Kings Of the stock Yards.

Some of the cattle buyers Of the big
slaughter houses receive as salaries
from $4,000 to $4,000 per year, and
some, it is said, as high as $25 600 per
year. The cattle buyer cannot hope to
command such salary at one jump, re-

He buys a bunch of steers, they are
slaughtered, and he is furnished each
day with a report showing Just what
they cost his company net. If he pays
TOO much, they are dear, and he must
expla in the why's and wherefores. Many
mistakes and bad judgment are not
necessary before he is advised that his
services are dispensed with. He must
be able to judge the amount on the hoof,
know what it will kill out, and that he
made the purchase at the lowest price
and with good profit to the company.
He cannot equal up, his purchases for
4 day make bargain on one bunch and
pay too much for the other. The system
Is complete and exacting; each purchase
must speak for itself-each tub must

Graf. for YounR Lamb.

Lambs should have grain from the
time they are ten weeks old until the
next spring, if they should grow to
their limit. This is not the usual prac-
tice among sheep breeders, and yet
many have become convinced that this
is the correct way to manage lambs. A
lamb that does not Learn to eat when ii
is young will fool away great deal OF

be making steady growth.-md3ane

Honey In Horse Bre eding.

Horse breeding, when judiciously car
cried on, has always been and is likely
to be reasonably profitable business
for the American farmer. The great
1anger in the business is that at the
present time, owing to the fact that
horses are scarce, the horse of no par
ticular breed or class is commanding a
fair price, and many farmers are led to
regard a horse of this kind as profita-
Bile animal to produce. Such horses
should not be bred, because, even when
the greatest care and precaution posi-
Bile are taken in breeding fer definite
types, there will always be large num-
Der of the so-called insists, which are
the first class of horses to be affected by
overproduction or any other thing that
is likely to cause a depression in the
World.

AN UNHAPPY
RULER OF KOREA
Eastern War Has Brought Woe
to the Emperor
of Korea

Just at present Korea. the Land of
the Morning Calm, is in anything but
the placid state its name would indi-
cate. Its territory is being overrun by
a horde of japanese troops, many of
its harbors and cities have been seized
by japanese warships, its emperor is
practically a prisoner in the hands of
the mikado's fighting men. and in fact
the country is a sort of territorial bone
over which the Russian bear and the
Japanese lion are Quarreling without a
word Of apology to the bone or even a
by your leave, sir" Not an enviable
condition, to be sure but such is the
fate in these strenuous times of a ma
ton that has no backbone and Is un-
able to defend itself.
OF late many pictures Of the emperor
Of Korea have been printed, and most
Of them have not been authentic. The
accompanying picture, which is from
a recent photograph. Is said to be a
very good likeness Of VI Hung. Ii Hi,
Ii hsi, tt Houi or whatever his name
may be, for different authorities give
him different names.
The uncertain named ruler was not
born an heir to the throne. His uncle,
his predecessor, died in 1864 without
issue, and he was selected by the
queen dowager to succeed at the age
Of twelve years. During his minority
his father, Tai Wen Kun, was regent.
The present king is described by one
who has seen him as a little man.
stout and somewhat unhealthy looking
He smiles amiably and constantly, but
does not look very clever.
His court is truly oriental in many
! respects, and he has several hundred
wives. According to report, however
there was period Of many years dur
Ing which he might as well not have
had them 80 far as enjoying their soci

turns the night. when revolutions in
Korea are sprung. into day. The New
York Tribune tells a story of one occa-
sion when he was trying new bed
and did not sleep in it for funny rea-
son. He thought he would like to have
on the palace grounds house built
and furnished like a European house
One was duly built. and the bed was
completed with pillows, bolster and
linen sheets. all of which were un-
known to Koreans. One cold day he
undressed and popped in between the
sheets No sooner was he In than he
sprang out again, with a yell. and fed
from the house. never to enter 1t again
Koreans usually go to bed fully dis
robed. When the bare skin Of the roy
al parsonage touched the cold sheets
he received a shock which he never
forgot.
An official painting of the ruler of
Korea is hung in the throne room Of
the royal palace at Seoul. 1t was
painted in 1903 by French artist, De
Neziere In order to satisfy Korean
Ideas of art he was" obliged to show

queen. A few years ago reports came
thickly from Seoul that she had been
murdered by band Of conspirat tors
who had the sympathy Of the Japanese
government. their object being to re-
move him from the dominion Of pow
er which was antagonistic. 1t was
never proved that Japan had anything
to do with this attack. The king es.
capped from the palace and received
shelter in the Russian legation.
Until 1897 the ruler of Korea was
only king, acknowledging the suze-
rainty of the emperor of China TAX
ing advantage Of the opportunity pro-
vided by the outcome OF the Chinese
Japanese war, he in that year declared
himself an emperor.
1t Is said that the emperor does not
even know the streets of his capital.
F1e thinks he does. Five times a year
he makes progress through the chief
street. wide thoroughfare. which Is
carefully prepared for the event and
therefore presents fair appearance
when he traverses it. On these occa-
sions the emperor rides In q chair ear
ried by host Of bearers. He himself
u adorned beyond the lilies OF the field
In magnincence.
Owing to The tear Of reyolutioas the
