An Old Enxlish Inv.

An act of parliament, passed in the
reign of George III. and which is still
In force, exempts members of the yeo
many from the ballot for the militia,
allows them to ride through toll bal
when in uniform without paying and
also relieves them from the tax on
powder for the hair. Such privileges
were highly valued in 1904, when the
act was passed; but, as yeomen are
not now liable for the militia ballot
as toll bars have been abolished and as
hair powder is no longer in request
these favors have ceased to have any
practical value. Nevertheless, they still
exist.-LondOn Mail.

A Humble Archbishop,

Willegis, famous archbishop OF
Mentz, rose to that elevated position
from the very lowest ranks. He was
the son Of poor carter, but was never
ashamed of his parentage He not only
caused the following inscription to be
placed conspicuously in his palace,
"Willegis, remember thy parentage,"
but had the wheels of cart hung up
in the Cathedral of Mentz. From that
time to this the arms of the see have
borne the figure of a cart wheel.

eeiect Your Seed Corn.

The farmer who has a uniformly
good corn crop Is generally the man
who looks after his seed himself. He
does not buy from any dealer whose
circular happens to fall into his hands
and plant the seed without testing.
The careful farmer picks out his seed
from the best Of his own corn or that
OF his neighbor, sees that 1t is properly
dried and cared for during the winter
and tests 1t before planting In the
spring. The careless farmer does not
do these things and then kicks because
his crop is a failure. He ought to
have man to apply some good lusty
kicks to his person. The seedmen are
not always to blame. Some of them
are honest The farmer should test
his seed for himself. and II 1t be good
give the seedman his due; II on the
other hand, it be bad, let him dispose
OF 1t the best he can. A falling that
growers have is to delay securing their
seed until too little time is left to OBJ
tain an adequate knowledge of its real
Talue. cannot too strongly urge corn
growers to see to 1t now that well-ma-
ured ears Of desirable type and the
'roduct of a variety noted for sue
essive large yields be secured for next
ears seedfng-Clinton NJ Schultz.

Beet Feed None Too Good.

When cows are tested for records
they are not fed on straw and fodder
or with the view OF saving In the food,
but on the contrary, the best foods
that can be obtained are not consid-
cred too good or costly Grain, clover,
pasturage, linseed meal and roots as
sist, each to AFFORD variety or change,
to promote the appetite and to induce
the cow to eat as much as she can
digest, hence such cows have great d.
gestive capacity. and can utilize large
quantities Of food. The fact that they
are well bred Is simply an evidence
that they are from families that have
been noted for good records. 1t is the
food that makes the milk and butter,
but an ordinary COW does not possess
the capacity Of consuming and con-
verting large quantities Of food into
