FOOD IN SERMONS.
Feed the Dominic Right and the Sermons
Are brilliant.

A conscientious, Woodworking and
eminently successful clergyman writes:
Il am glad to bear testimony TO the
pleasure and increased measure of
efficiency and health that have come to
me from adopting Grape-Nuts food as
one of my articles Of diet.
For several years l was much dis
tressed during the early Fart of each
day by indigestion. My breakfast,
usually consisting of oatmeal, milk and
eggs, seemed to turn sour ard failed
to digest. After dinner the headache
and other symptoms following the
breakfast would wear away, only to re-
turn, however, next morning.
Having heard of Grape Nuts food,
finally concluded to give it a fair trial.
! quit the use of oatmeal and eggs, and
made my breakfasts of Grape Nuts,
cream, toast and Postum. The result
was surprising in improved health and
total absence of the distress that had,
for so long a time, followed the morn
ing meal. My digestion became
once more satisfactory. the headaches
ceased, and the old feeling of energy
returned. Since that time. four years
ago, have always had Grape-Nuts
food on my breakfast table.
Il was delighted to fird also. that

am convinced that Grape-Nuts food
produced this result and helped me to a
sturdy condition of mental and physical
strength.

were formerly troubled as l was, and
who have been helped as have been,

TEsTING COWS.

The chief value of making tests Of
milk, and keeping records both of the
quantity and quality, is the informa-
ton afforded as to whether or not
the cows are paying for their keep.
That testing requires the expenditure
of a little time is no argument
against its adoption. In fact, that
the time spent in making the tests
may be well repaid is illustrated by
the results obtained in testing the
herd of cows at the Connecticut Sta
ton. The herd consisted of twenty
cows, and in 1899 it was decided to
test them. At the close of the year
it was found that three of the cows
by no means paid for their keep, the
loss being $12.36 $12.0S, and $3.50 re-
spectively. If the above three cows
had been dispensed with at the be-
ginning of the year the total profits
of the herd would have been greater,
and the care and room of the cows
would have been saved. Some per-
sons say they cannot afford to sell
their poor cows, as good ones cost
so much, but they can hardly expect
to purchase good animals for the price
obtained for their non-paying ones.
In any case, man cannot afford to
keep cows which are in debt at the
end Of the year, and if he cannot af-
ford to clear out the non-payers and
replace them with an equal number
of profitable individuals, let him get
rid Of them and keep to smaller num-
Der of the desirable class. In the
case of the Connecticut herd, by sell
ing out the moderate animals and re-
placing them with better class stock,
the average profit was raised from
$12 80 In 1889 to 1888 in 19O3.-Am-
erican Cultivator.

Lesson Of Memorial Day.

It Is well that on one day in the
year the high example of the Union
soldier should be held up before our
people. Love of country consists in
service rather than in profession.
Public good must ever be preferred
to private good. And surely when so
many Americans we're willing to give
all that they had for the country, we of
to-day ought at least to be willing to
forego mere personal advantage when
it can only be won at the expense of
the land which we all love. This is
the lesson Of Memorial day. and it is
ono that we greatly need to learn.

CRoss-BREEDING SHEEP.

George F. Thompson of the Depart
ment of Agriculture in recent inter-
view refers to the matter of cross
breeding encouraged by the Depart
ment, for the purpose of producing a
breed more fully developed for fleece
and mutton combined. The best
sheep breeders look upon such at
tempts as mistakes, just as cattle
breeders know that cross-breeding as
rule leads to disaster. Here is what
Mr.. Thompson says on the subject:
During the early days in America
sheep were bred primarily for the
wool, and during recent years we have
been importing annually in addition
from 100000 to s30,O00,000 worth
of WOOL But the wool industry in this
country has come to the point where
it frequently does not pay to raise
the sheep for its fleece alone. There
has, therefore, been an increasing eff
fort to get good combination breed
that would live in large focks on the
range, furnish a good fleece, and at
the same time be a good mutton sheep.
This has been work of great diff
Guilty, and is by no means yet accom-
p,ished. The Iowa experiment sta
ton has had DR.. ]. w. Kennedy work
ing on the breeding problem for sew
era1 years. experimenting with Meri-
nos for wool, and Southdowns and
Shropshires for mutton, with a num-
Der of other breeds. But up to date
the experiments have not been pro-
ductive of any new fixed breeds which
would have the desired characters
tics and transmit them unchanged to
their progeny. The result is that the
farmers of the east are still combining
themselves to the English broods of
downs and shires, which are great
meat producers. while the western
ranch depends largely on the old Next
can sheep which is descendant OF
the fine merinos imported by the
Spaniards, but which has developed
characteristics Of Its own, and is in a
great many respects an ideal sheep for
the range. The fleece of the Mext-
can is made finer and improved by
the introduction of pure merino rams
on ne range, and when the strain of
merino begins to show too much, max
ing a weaker and more delicate sheep,
with very fine silky wool, the breed
is strengthened by the introduction
of some coarser wool sheep like the
Oxfords. So the balance is main
tanned.
This work has now been going on
FOR many years, and the breeding Is
likely to continue along the same lines
till the ideal wool-mutton is found.
This may. occupy long time, but
there has been so much done in re-
cent years in the hybridizing of plants
and animals that 1t would seem any
thing might be expected to develop
in the cross-bred line at any time
