Rookefeller,a Failure il Lifs.
(From The washington PostJ

3
There may be some exaggera-
ton in the moving tale that
comes from Cleveland portray
ing the sorrows of John ID. Rock
efcller. 1t bears some indication
of the skillful touches of a word
artist. But we believe the state
ment, stripped of its adoEnment,
that Mr. Rockefeller is wretch
ed, disappointed, solitary man,
tllirsting for genuine sympathy.
and hungering for an honestly
kind work.
Rockefeller's failure consists
in being too .successful. He
wanted money-more money
than anyone else in the world
The evidence is overwhelming
that Rockefeller sacrificed every
thing and everybody for money !.
lfever a worshiper was true to
his idol, this man was true. In
an age of materialism it was in.
evitable that some man should
loom above all,others as the most
successful y and John d. Rocke-
feller.happens to be that unfoltu
nate. Circumstances and his
own mental and moral equip
ment combined to facilitate his
efforts to outstrip all competitors
In his prime his mind was a re
morseless machine, perfect IN
operation, working csaselessly in
a single groove, and turning nei-
ther to the right nor the left. He
had nothing but contempt for
the human eIement-the sympa-
thetic word, the impalse of gen
erosity or forgiveness, the bond
offriendship. These things tend
ed to interrupt the workings of
the money-making machine, and
he ruthlessly thrust them from
him.
Now John d. Rockefeller is
old-.the oldest man in the
world" says Miss TarbeIl. He
is the richest, and, therefore. the
most "successfuP' man in the
world. But time wears upon
weaker men and curious change
is noted In his temperament. In
stead of being lmpervious to eriti-
cism, he has become actually
sensitive to it, and spends much
of his time reading the food of
abuse that has appeared recently
concerning him. This gall and
wormwood he takes as medicine
and surely it is bitter. lie
finds himself an old, decrepit, de-
spised bankrupt in the esteem of
his fellows. He receives bushels
of letters-and they breathe of
cupidity, and fraud and hypocrisy.
He meets friends'- and they
nauseate him with f1attery and
falsehood. He cannot trust any
one. He is alone
If the fates had conspired to
raise figure as a mockery and
warning to the worshipers of
wealth, they could not have i'm.
proved upon this living and sol
itary shadow of a man, who must
soog unclutch his hands from his
money. John d. Rockefeller
with his wealth is pitiable fig
ure. What will the memory OF
Rockefeller be-stripped of his
wealth, judged by what he has
done for his fellow-man, as all
men must be judged? All too
late he begins to perceive the
failure of his success. What
painful violations of lifelong
habit he tears away few mil
lions and gives it to the world.
The world jeers and mocks him.
1t cannot be bought. So his
money is counterfeit. The old
truth is ground into his soul that
money will not buy happiness
A feeling of pity may rise ia
the heart of a compassionate man
in contemplating the career of
John d. Rockefeller. But he is
cut off from sympathy.

Good Points of
The Galloway

The little district of Galloway, sit
uated in the southwestern part of the
country, was the first To establish n
distinct beef breed of cattle, and this
breed was named after it's native land,
says correspondent of Farmers Ad-
vocGte.
The Galloway farmers first aim was
to produce an animal of great length
and depth, with sufficient hardness to
rustic for himself where forage was
comparatively scarce and with a con-
stitutlon strong enough TO withstand
the rigors of a northern climate The
thick. curly coat of these animals es-
pecially fitted them for the natural
conditions OF their home, and to pro
duce this the early breeders many
times sacrificed that pllable quality OF
the hide which is so extremely desired
by modern beef producers. Thus it will
be seen why, upon their Introduction
into this country, the Galloway cattle

GALLOWAY BULL.

were inclined TO be OF Il rather long, lank
type and were in many cases consid-
cred too thick hided.
The first GallowayS were imported in
1858 by Graham Bros, Ontario, Can
ada, and they were so we'll adapted to
Canadian conditions Sat many other
shipments quickly followed until now
the hornless, shaggy blacks are found
in all the provinces Of Canada and
nearly every state in the Union. Sine
their Introduction into the corn belt
the Galloway type has been changed
and improved in many ways. With
plenty of feed their frames have broad
ened and filed out. and their hides be-
come so pliable that they readily COM
mend themselves TO any one looking
for an ideal beef type. Indeed, the
Galloway of today has many claims to
favoritism, either upon the range or in
the feed lot. In this day, when prac-
tically all feeding cattle are dehorned,
the naturally polled animal has n con-
siderable advantage over hiS horned
rival.
His carcass furnishes food for the
inner and clothing for the outer man.,
and when the final reckoning is made
his account usually shows n healthy
balance on the credit side.

Swine Need Water.

Some farmers who raise swine never
feel it necessary to give them water to
drink. They argue that as the slop
is composed largely Of water that is
all that is necessary. 1t probably is in
many cases where the slop consists of
one part solids and nine parts water.
but if the slop is nutritious, rs it
should be, and IL corn is fed in addi-
ton, the swine need considerable wa
ter.
Men of experience claim that swine
carefully watered are rarely diseased,
and they have little difficulty In pre-
venting them from making wallows.
AS matter of fact. about half of the
nastlness of the hog is due to the care
lessness of its owner. Give the hog
half a chance, and he or she will be
reasonably clean. Try the trough of
cold. clean water at feeding time and
see what the swine think Of it.

eff horse breeding is to be made the
success that 1t ought to be those who
engage in this work should begin
breeding their mares Mt q comparative
ly early age, say not later than the age
Of four years." says Professor Thomas
Shaw. "Such mares are likely to pro-
duce foals regularly from year to year
and to rear them In good form. 1t Is
not unnatural that the results from
breeding mares that are not set aside
for breeding until they become adj
vanced in age should not be satisfac-
tory. The breeding powers are not well
developed in such instances; conse.
Quently the results that follow froL
breeding them cannot be satisfactory
