Keep Account of the Crops.

The farmer should keep some account
OF his crops, his profits and losses. and
be able at the end of the year to give
an intelligent idea of what he is doing,
and then should give thought and study
to efforts to improve. This improve
ment may refer to the maintaining of
fertility, and this opens up a wide field
of study as to maintain fertility de-
ponds on the wise use of commercial
fertilizers and saving of homemade
manure, the rotation of crops, and all
that will aid in keeping UP the maxi
mum fertility. 1t also will involve a
careful study of such crops as you are
producing. There are crops much more
liable to failure than others. There are
localities where wheat is a very un-
certain crop, and yet farmers continue
growing it from year to year. where
every third or fourth crop is short as
to leave little OIL no profit. Other crops
may be substituted; in some localities
rye is very profitable, in others oats,
barley or emmer can be substituted,
but the eases are rare where you can
afford to leave small grain out of your
list Of crops, as 1t gives the best oppor-
tunity of getting a stand of clover to
maintain fertility.-Home and Farm.

There are those who ridicule the idea
that prayer can actually accomplish
anything, because they cannot under
stand how prayer a either affect
Gods action or change in any way the
current of events on earth. Such reas-
oning is extremely shallow. The wisess
man cannot tell the why or the where
fore of some of the commonest facts
of natural science; is it not childish
then for any man to undertake to limit
spiritual truth by the measure of his
capacity to see the reason for it or the
reasonableness of it? Facts are facts
whether they agree with any system
of logic or not. And the fact that
prayer is a mighty power is attested
by abundant and incontestable facts.
The Penn's Grove record., 1905-02-17
The Mishtiest Power.

In reality, the Christian religion it
self must stand or fall with the state
ment that prayer is not only a power
but the very mightiest power that any
human being can grasp. For the
Founder of the Christian religion de-
clared repeatedly and most emphat-
ically that there is no limit TO the
power of believing prayer to accom-
plish its object, and if His teaching
on that subject is not reliable, then
none of His teaching can be, and it
is absurd to worship Him. His teach
ing is reliable because He is the Word
of God, the authoritative Revealer
of the mind and will of God; because
He Himself is God. Therefore We wor-
ship Him, and believe.

HOUSE PASSES RATE BILL
Esch Townsend Measure Goes
Through Without Trouble.
TOTAL VOTE OF 326 TO II

John Sharp Williams, the Minority
Leader, Urged the Passing of Another
Bill Made Up of the Davey Bill and
Portions of the Shakleford Biil-Mr.
Williams Voted h Winnin: Measure
Washington, D. C.--After rejecting
the minority substitute by 1SG to Isl
the House passed the Esch-Townsend
bill by 326 to II.
Under the special rule the time for
the vote was set for 3 o'clock in the az.
ternoon. and there were only two prop
ositions before the House. One was
the Esch-Townsend bill and the other
the bill urged by John Sharp Williams,
the minority leader, and made up of
the Davey bill and portions of the
Shackleford bill. The Democrats had
demanded the right to amend the ma
jOrity bill with provisions applying to
private car companies and terminal
preferences. The majority program,
having been decided upon by the adop.
ton of the rule, there was nothing left
for the Democrats but to vote for their
W bill and then take what they could
get in the majority measure, which
they did almost to a man.
During the debate there were ex.
pressions of praise for the President,
whose fight for rate legislation was ap-
plauded when alluded to.
Mr.. Pierce, Of Tennessee, said the
President had shown that he was the
greatest leader this country had seen
since the Civil War. He justified his
support of the bill on the ground that
it was Democratic doctrine, and had
been urged by w. J. Bryan, who was
also a leader on this subject.
John Sharp Williams, in closing for
the minority, began by saying that the
country owed the bill to the President.
He congratulated the House on the
prospect of the passage of such legisla-
ton, and on the fact that President
Roosevelt had ''been nominated by the
Republican Party and elected by the
people" He insisted that the President
was beginning to a strong
Democratic attitude, and expressed the
hope that he might urge on Congress
tariff revision and the reduction of the
army. Then, growing sarcastic, he rid
iculed the non-partisanship of the ma
jority and the passing fear among Re-
publicans thatthe President would "go
over to the Democracy"
The bill which he had drawn and
which the committee had repudiate ted
was, in his opinion. only q rough draft
which he had framed afte: conferences
with the President and members of his
Cabinet. The Esch-Townsend bill was
not an Administration measure, nor
could any bill be said to be an Admin
istratiOn measure. His own bill was
as much an Administration bill as any,
for it was, with the exception of two
sections, the work of the Attorney
General.
In order to keep the record straight
Mr.. Williams demanded the yeas and
nays on the minority substitute, and
when that failed both be and Mr.. Hep
burn at the same time were demanding
yeas and nays on the Esch-Townsend
bill.

The Value of Advertising.

catholic Standard and

Advertising space in a newspaper,
says the Helena (Mont.) Record, is a
commodity. 1t is a thing of value to
the man who uses it, and he bargains
for it as he would for anything else
Of value. II he needs it and believes
it is worth the price asked for ii, he
buys. IT he does not believe the bar
gain would be to his advantage lie re-
Trains from buying.
1t is exactly as if the merchant were
bargaining for any other thing he
needs in his business. He makes his
choice of store fixtures and he selects
his stock by the same rule.
Just as in the case of the staple goods
that line his shelves and fill his show
cases and are piled Oh his counters,
the advertising space he contracts for
has a value, based upon quantity and
quality.
The business man buys advertising
space in the newspaper 1T a certain
price per inch, the price based upon
the circulation Of tie newspaper and
the quality of its subscription list
quality having particular reference to
its availability for his purpose.
If it reaches the class of people he
specially desires to interest in the kind
Of goods he has to sell, and reaches the
people in the locality in which he spe-
cially desires to do business. and if it
reaches more persons of the kind he
is looking for, in the community he is
interested in, than another newspaper
does, then it is worth more to him. He
pays accordingly.
Business men do not advertise lust

Proper Mutton Farm.

A dull, stupid sheep will not lay on
fat as rapidly as one of a nervous tenn
permanent. This is contrary to the gen.
eral belief, but experience has proved
that it is true, says a sheep writer.
The bright, clear eye indicates q good
doer. The neck should be compact,
short and thick, and is indicative of the
conformation of the rest of the body.
1t is also the cheapest part of the car
cass, and we do not want too much of
1t. The neck should indicate strength
and character, and this applies also to
the junction of the neck to the body.
The body should be strong through the
shoulders and along the top. There
should be a good length rib, or we'll
covered with a thick layer Of muscle.
The ~closenesS of the rib also indicates
the value of the sheep as a meat pro-
Queer. When the ribs are close to-
gether there will be a better layer of
meat on the outside. The whole back
should be we'll covered, with great
width over the loins, as from the quar-
ter to the first rib are the parts that
sell for the highest price in the mar
kets. The quarter should be well de-
veloped on top and back over the pin
points, and it should also be we'll filed
up. We must have good depth of body
mot that it gives expensive meat, but
it indicates the strength and develop
ment of the whole animal. If we have
a good, long rib, we have a good de-
velopment of the upper or valuable
part.
The eve should be more loosely built
and not so closely coupled. The neck
should be longer than the rams, and
the head should be clear-cut, and the
eye bright, denoting nervous energy.

decision was necessary for strategic
reasons, and warns coasting and neu-
trail navigators that in passing Tsugaru
Straits they must exercise the greatest
care. The Japanese continue to pa
troll Tsushima and Tsugaru Straits,
and it is believed that the blockade of
Vladivostok is effective.
1t was reported from V~ladiyostOk
that the Russian armored cruisers Rus
STA and Gromoboi had been repaired,
but it is doubted whether they will
emerge from the harbor on account of
the extensive seizures by the japanese
of coal-laden ships bound for Vladivos-
tok. Large stocks have been purchased
by Japan, which has not ceased pur-
chasing coal.

The Horse.

A Missouri correspondent states that
he has a draft-bred foal to winter. He
says he has mixed hay and slower and
some corn but no oats. He wants to
know if he car make the colt grow
properly on such a bill Of fare. We do
not think he can do the young animal
any sort of justice on such foodstuffs.
To begin with, oats and bran form the
best feed for growing colts. Corn,
while better than no grain at all, has
not in it the muscle and b~one-fOrming
elements that are required to make
the necessary mineral elements are sup
piled by the oats and bran, whereas
in the mixed hay, the stover and the
corn the carbohydrates or starchy mat
tiers are far too much in evidence. If
there is no other way, sOme of the corn
should be sold and oats bought with
the money received for it. We believe
that the only proper way to zeal draft
bred colts is to give them in their first
winter about all the oats and bran they
will eat up clean three times a day.
They should have the very best and
brightest of the hay and whatever
slower they choose to pick out of the
racks. but slower is not good food for
weanling horses. 1T is too coarse and
does not carry enough nourishment to
the square inch. II some of the hay
has more clover i'll it than the rest the
colt should have that, providing that it
is bright, we'll cured and not moldy. If
there is no help for IT, give the colt the
corn and he will Go httte~ than he will
with no grain al all, hui if he is worth
wintering at all he is worth treating
right, and the way to do that is to ge:
him at least some oats.-Breeder's Ga.

RUSS|A'S AWFUL LOSSES
More Than One Hundred and Eighty
Thousand Disabled.
DEAD NEARLY FIFTY THOUSAND

Appalling Figures Given Ont in the
st. Petersburg Messenger, an
Omcial Army jour- aI-Activity in
Manchuria- Admiral Togo Leaves
Japan Again.
st. Petersburg, Russia.-The prema-
ture publication here of the official re-
turns of losses in the war with Japan
has caused n sensation. The figures
were used in the official Messenger,
evidently without the sanction of the
War Department. but 10Y carry with
them an official character that cannot
be denied. Their tremendous impor-
lance to the people of Russia is shown
in the fact that these figures prove that
more than one.third of the entire Rus
sian army in the Far Fast has passed
through the hospitals since the begin
ming of the war. The total is 130.4339
officers and men. and this does not in
clude the dead.
The wounded were ITO officers and
1880 nien. The sick were 224S officers
end 1851 men. thus showing that the
absence of proper sanitary precautions
did more against the Russian army
than the rifles of the japanese. OF
those wounded or i'll 1907 died in hos
pitfalls, 17.722 were permanently inva-
Iided. 9429 were returned to Russia
and 21.554 are still in hospitals. The
report does not say bow many were
killed in battle. but roughly estimates
the number at between 10000 and
10000.
Thus, if the Russian army strength
in Manchuria be. taken at 4JO. 1000. the
statistics show that at least $50, 900 of
this number We're within a year killed,
wounded or sent to hospitals. These
apDalling figures have opened the eyes
0f st. Petersburg to the frightful losses
of the war. and as they will now be
sent to every city and town iii the en,-
pire there is no doubt that the Govern
ment. should the war contine. will
have extreme trouble in forcing the ~
~servists in going to the Far East.
Toxic, Japan. = Manchurian head,
quarters says: "The Russians shelled
and twice attacked Waitao Mountain.
but were repulsed. Small forces of
Russian infantry attacked Lapatai and
H~anshantai, but were defeated. The
Russians continued to construct in
trenchments in the neighborhood of
I%Iaikoutai."
Reports from Liaoyang place the to-
tai Russian force at $4,000 on the
Fighting linz. The condition Of the
prisoners and of tie bb9943iieeso Of the dead
indicate that the Russians are short OF
shoes and winter clothing. Some of the
officers are wearing Chinese shoes. 1t
is believed that exposure to the cold is
greatly increasing sickness among the
Russians. Later estimates of the Rus.
sian losses at Haikoutai place the nun:
Der at $4,000.

had refused to accompany the Second

It Means Ignorance.

1t is so evident in physical matters
that negative truths are comparatively
useless, that few people would pride
themselves on knowing only that this,
that. and the other idea or theory re-
specting the universe or the matter OF
which it is composed, is not true. But
when it comes to religion, there are
many persons who take an absurd
pride in mere doubts, and some even
in a profession of ignorance pure and
simple. They try to dignity ignorance
by using the Greek form of the word
agnosticism-but it means ignorance
and nothing more.
