THE JESTER.

I chanced to meet, the other day.
ssaAS friend, Of old who is a clown; Ss4 eg%{
His hair was streaked with threads of gray,
His brow was furrowed with frown.
This change was surprised to see *

Whose testing life had seemed quite free
From illssthat ALI the heart with tears
But when said: TITS strange, indeed.

,'Beneath this Testing life lead

The whole world plays double part

A, "cHEESE-PRESSlE."
Homely Industry Which Is Practiced
by the People in the Wilds ~...
Of Scotland.

One of the homely industries of the
wilds Of Scotland, probably unfamiliar
to most of our readers, is the manu-
facture of cheese by hand-pressas.
Where the lonely cottage on the moor
is far removed from any village shop,
and d-American" can only be OBJ
tanned at the expense of a weary
tramp of many miles along rough and
wind-swept roads, or by narrow sheep
tracks across the hills, homemade
cheeses form a substantial part of the
peasants diet. These cheeses are
manufactured in the simplest manner
possible. Skim milk, with the addi-
ton of rennet, is poured into cloth,
tied up, and placed in wooden tub,
then gradually pressed until all the
whey is removed, and only the eurd

THE FARM COW.
A Very Large Factor in the Butter
Making Industry of the
Country.

The real butter maker Of the coun-
try is the farm COW whose milk never
goes to the creamery. This COW is
least often heard from, because she
Is less in the light of public observa.
ton than the COW that is producing
milk for the creamery. Yet, the total
amount of butter made on farms in
the United States is far greater than
the amount made in creameries.
So our greatest hope still lies In
the COW that gives milk for the MAX
ing of farm butter. The spirit of i'm
provement is abroad and there are
multitudes of farms on which good
COWS are taking the place of poor
ones. It is impossible to estimate
how great this Improvement is. A
farmer that has 80 cows said to the
correspondent of the Farmers Re-
view: my cows made $50 pounds Of
butter in March. and think I am do
ing pretty we'll, as only % of them are
giving milk that can be used for but
ter making. That Is about pound
per day of the cows giving milk, and
we have the by-products to help swell
the profits"
That mans herd six years ago was
doing only half as we'll as the above
statement would indicate, but the man
has been selling his poorest COWS and
replacing them with good ones right
along.
Up to the present time the good
farm COW has not been appreciated,
and for this reason her price has
not been much above that of the poor
farm COW. But a change is going on,
and the time Is not far distant when
so many farmers will be looking for
profitable cows that the extra mixer
will bring a fancy price at any time
Of year.

THE MEANING OF JAPAN.
Growing Power in Asia, Which in .
4 Few Years, England Will Have
to Cope With.

Europe scarcely even yet recognizes
how prodigious an influence this rise
of a new power on the edge of Asia, In
the ocean which must, decade by dec
ade. increase in importance till its free
dom will preoccupy all maritime pow
ers as the freedom of the Atlantic does
now, will exercise on her policy, her am
billions and her commerce. Throw
aside all apprehensions about the "yel-
low peril" leave China out of the cal
culation as sunk in irredeemable dotage,
assume Japan to stand alone, and still
Europe has to reckon with . power
which ten years hence, says the London
Spectator, will have twice Togo's feet.
and which has proved that wherever
she can land an army, an army double
its strength must be called out to render
defeat of the defenders improbable. OF
the ideas, aspirations and ultimate
plans of that power nothing, it may be
said, is known; but of her capacities and
her strength we now at least know
something. We know that she can keep
a secret for years, that her people will
fight to the death at the word of com.
mand; that she has the European be-
lief in science, and that she counts
among her statesmen and soldiers men
of the Intellectual capacity to control
and guide huge masses of trained men
to any end she has decided on. No king
thinks that he can conqaer Japan; no
statesman imagines that he can set
aside her vote in the Pacific or the In
dian ocean as a negligible quantity.
She may not govern China, but all tho
long-devised European plans for gain
ing dominant influence in China or in
the archipelago must, without her per-
mission. be abandoned.

Are the Packers Receiving Fair Playe

Are the Packers Receiving Fair Playe
When the Garfield report on the
business methods of the packers ap-
pearcd, after eight months investiga-
ton, it was severely criticised and
roundly denounced. After three
morths of publicity it Is significant
that those who attempted to discredit
it have failed to controvert the figures
contained in that exhaustive document.
The public is beginning to notice this
omission, and the feeling is rapidly
growing that the sensational charges
out of which the Beef Investigation"
arose were without foundation. If the
official statements of the report are
susceptible Of contradiction, good
many people are now asking why the
facts and figures are not furnished to
contradict them,
The truth seems to be that most Of
the charges contain unfounded sensa-
tional assertions. A fragrant example
of this appeared In a recent article in
an Eastern magazine, to the effect that
'tforty Iowa banks we're forced to close
their doors in 1904 by the Beef
Trusts manipulation of cattle prices. "
Chief Clerk Cox, Of the banking de-
partment of the Iowa State Auditors
Office, has tabulated the list of banks
given in the magazine article and has
publicly denounced the statement as
utterly untrue. He gives separately
the reasons for each failure mentioned
and officially states that they have
been caused by unwise speculations
and by reckless banking methods. 1t
may be we'll to suspend judgment upon
the packers until the charges against
them are proved.

Great Britain's Butter Imports

Great Britain's Butter Imports.
IN 1887 Great Britain was importing
about $4,000 tons of butter per year.
Last year she imported $4,000 tons.
This is an increase of $4,000 tons in
II years, or an average increase per
year of 5000 tons. The population of
Great Britain has doubled in so years,
but the butter imports have very much
more than kept pace with the increase
of population. Denmark is the great
est source of butter supply the United
Kingdom has to-day. Germany used
to send about 5000 tons annually, but
has now practically dropped out of the
race. The Australasian colonies are
becoming year by year bigger factors
in the importation of butter.-Farm-
ers' Review.

Just Discrimination in Railway Rates
All railroad men qualified to speak
on the subject in a responsible way are
likely to agree with President Samuel
Spencer, of the Southern railway, when
he says: '"There is no division of opin-
ion as to the desirability of stopping
all secret or unjustly discriminatory
devices and practices Of whatsoever
character"
Mr.. Spencer, in speaking Of unjust
ly discriminatory" rates and devices,
makes q distinction which is at once
apparent to common sense. There may
be discrimination in freight rates which
is just, reasonable and imperatively re-
Quired by the complex commercial and
geographical conditions with which ex-
pert rate makers have to deal. To abol-
ish such open and honest discrimination
might paralyze the industries Of cities,
states and whole sections of our national
territory.
This distinction between just and un-
just discrimination is clearly recognized
in the conclusions of the international
Railway Congress, published yester-
day:
Tariffs should be based on commercial
principles, taking into account the special
conditions which bear upon the CONNER
cial value Of the services rendered. With
the reservation that rates shall be charged
without arbitrary discrimination to all
shippers alike under like conditions, the
making Of rates should as. far As possible
have all the elasticity necessary to permit
the development Of the traffic ard to pro:
duce the greatest results to the public and
to the railroads themselves"
The present proposals., as Mr.. Walker
D. Hines, of Louisville, showed In his
remarkable testimony the other day
before the senate committee at Wash
lngton, to crystalline flexible and Justly
discriminatory rates into fixed govern.
ment rates which cannot be changed
except by the Intervention Of some gov
eminent tribunal, and by this very
process to increase "the temptation to
depart from the published rate and the
lawful rate in order to meet some over
towering and urgent commercial con-
dition."-New York Sun.

SHEEP WITH DAIRY.
How One Successful Farmer Feels
AboNE a Combination Of
..,.n-. .- the Two. -.

l nave always been lover of sheep,
and have owned a flock ever since
was II years old. Years ago the
amount of wool was the object sought
for, and when it brought from Is cents
to 81 per pound the Merinos were
strictly in it, shearing from seven to
ten pounds per head. and small flocks
often reaching IL pounds; but of later
years mutton has been more of an OBJ
ject than wool, and especially lambs.
for that reason we look to the large
type Of coarse wooded breeds. After
looking over the different breeds,
saw none that I thought was any
better for wool and lambs than the
Shropshires. They are excellent moth
ers, very prolific, and, when fed and
cared for, give lots Of milk. My flock
average about eight pounds of wool
per head and seldom have less than
three lambs to turn out for two ewes
and often every eve will have twin
lambs. Two years ago all had twins
but two, and they had triplets. I lost
only one lamb, and that got killed.
They are quiet breed, that is, mine
are; are easy to handle for large
sheep, and the lambs are always tame.
It makes great difference about
sheep being afraid of the one in charge
of the flock.
Now, as to the profits Of keeping
sheep with a dairy, do not expect all
will agree with me, writes CORE
spondent 6: the Rural New Yorker.
Profits depend on the man and tho
management to great extent. My
flock average about IS per head from
wool and lambs. Two years ago they
averaged $11 per head. When we were
all making butter instead of selling
milk, I made as much butter per COW
as those that did not keep sheep
around here; our make averaging 300
pounds per cow for the year. For that
reason I came to the conclusion that
the flock was not detriment to the
pasture for the cows.
The sheep will take care of them
selves, for they are up at daylight and
feeding. They will pick their living,
four weeks earlier in the spring than
cows will. If you keep your cows built
up, and with a good flow of milk, you
can begin to feed them in August,
while the sheep will care for them
selves until the middle Of November.
I never house my sheep until about
lambing time. They have shed that
is always open for them, and see that
they are in, If cold storm comes on,
but otherwise they are always out In
the open. Oats always give me salts
faction when fed to them in the win
ter. generally save load or two
of sheaves for the sheep, as they are
fond of grinding their own feed. Once
in awhile l give feed Of corn, just
for change, and feed beets as long
as they last, then mess Of potatoes
once a week.
Since feeding in the abuve manner
and with plenty of outdoor exercise, I
have had no weak lambs to bother
with. The last of February and first
of March suits me for the lambs to be-
gin to come. When they are about
two weeks old they begin 10 eat it,
tie grain. They have all they care to
eat until they 60 out to grass; and
they get very tame by being with them
so much. When 60 to the barn and
sit down in about Ave minutes have
a row of lambs around me.

Remember the Cow.

Green corn, alfalfa or cane grown
near the pasture pays greater profits
if marketed to COWS in need of~extra
feed. than if held and sold to the local
dealer. Not that only, but it will keep
ND the flow of milk and increase the
profits derived from dairying on dry
feed in fall or winter.-Farm and
