Value of "a Good Cow


nat are the cows worth that pro
uuce 4oo pounds of butter per annnn
mere l am going to make a statement
ana undertake to prove il correct saws
writer IN Successful Farming. When
COW that produces 200 pounds of but-
Ter per annum at food cost of $50
ana labor cost of $3.50 is worth S35.
the COW that produces 400 pounds of
Dutter annually is worth $500, and the
owner can make net SIG more from her
AFTER paying interest on the $500 than
he can from the COWS that produce 200
POUNDS of butter. There is no more
labor connected with the 4OO-nound
cows than there is with the 2OO-pound
COWS. The price at which better has
been credited, namely, 20 cents a pound,
Is the net price from the creamery after
the making has been paid for In this
nero the increased cost Of feed for the
4Oo-pound cows was more than offset
by the increased amount of skim milk,
SO we have the 200 pounds increase of
butter as net profit over the 2OO-pound
COW. Two hundred pounds of butter at
70 cents is $40. We have $500 invested
IN these cows, which at 6 per cent in
terest is $24, which we will deduct
from the $40, and we have left SIG to
the credit of the 400-pound cow.

A story is told of General Grant
which is illustrative of his tender and
gentle nature. On the day of great
review he turned, with eyes dim with
tears. from the sight of his old troops,
saving, Il don't believe | can stand i'll
| don't believe | can stand it!' In the
same spirit is the following souvenir
from "A Child's Recollections Of
Grant in Current Literature:
The parade of the Grand Army,
which was part of the Centennial cele-
bration, was an occasion of wild eX-
element to us. We were not far from
the balcony where General Grant re-
viewed the troops, and therefore saw
all that could be seen-a seemingly
endless procession of soldiers, cannon
and brass bands.
And how the people cheered But
it puzzled US why the cheers were
loudest and longest for the most for
lorn. stained and tattered old flags,
until we understood that the flags,
too, were veterans.
BY and by the great show was over
and General Grant was going away.
He did not seem at all gay. l WON
dered why.
Didn't you enjoy it? Wasn't II
nice to see all your old soldiers there
again?' | asked.
But they were not all there" he
answered gravely.
I realized what it had meant to him
to review his old army. Those tattered
flags had been carried by men who
went TO death at his command. Those
dark stains had been the red life blood
of men who died obeying him. To 9th.
ers it had been day of jubilee, while
his great heart had ached as he
thought of the price Of his victories.

The hill lands of Georgia are not per
mitted to wash away down the steer
killsides. Around such hills there are
bands or terraces thrown up with great
care to stop the downward rush OF wa
ter. and thus the washing tendency is
checked as soon as begun. These belts
of firm sod land are most effective
They rise one above the other in steps
of five or eight feet in vertical height
The rows bend around the hill, con
forming strictly to these terraces. This
is most excellent system and one bad
ly needed on many farms OF the ne"
southwest Exchange.

THE POOR IN SPIRIT ARE RICH.

Bv Rev. Russell H. Conwell, D. D.
Text-"Blessed are the poor in spir-
1t, for theirs is the kingdom of heav-
en."-Matt. SO.
Blessed Is the man who takes a cold
bath to start the strenuous day. Blessed
is the boy who has to bear the burden
in his youth. Blessed is the man whose
dreams are full of unreal cyclones, fires
and wrecks. Blessed is the man whose
dream is filled with the funeral Of his
wife and wakes to find her living.
Blessed is the man who dreams that his
business has been ruined and wakes to
find it intact and prosperous. Blessed
Is the man who dreams Of sorrows that
might be and wakes to find them not.
Never does the Savior say it is bless
cd TO be poor, although He did say that
the poor are sometimes blessed. He
does not say it is blessed for person
TO have little when he could just as
we'll have much, or that two wings are
NOT better than one. Two dollars are
better than one How inconsistent is
the teaching that would interpret the
Savior as saying that poverty is inva-
riablv blessing 1t is not blessing to
have little of the goods of this world
while others may have much. The bless
ing is not contained in the fact that the
nnantity is small. tut in the way we
make use of the quantity we have.
Every man and woman is a capital
ISL If he has not money to give ne
has smiles to give. If he cannot give
money he can give words, he can give

ONLY veneer virtues fear bad wealth
err.
Things are without what they are
within.
There is little love in long distance
charity.
Orthodoxy is apt to be conformity
to my habits.
Losing the temper takes the edge off
the ability.
A man never believes in honesty I'M
til he has some of it.
No favoring wind comes to him who
will not pull on his oars.
The more of truth a man knows
the larger liberty he finds in it.
The easiest way to fall out of the
Christian path is to sit down in it.
Religion may have many forms, but
they all have one face of love.
The man who brags of being speedy
doesn't figure on the grade he is on.
The only man whom poverty can
crush is he who lacks the riches OF
character.
To make child profess mans re
ligion is to put him to school to by
pocrisy.
He who has many thoughts to hide
never has any that men are glad to
circulate.
Many a man thinks that the import
ant thing is the size of the aim instead
of it's height.
When your character is gold you will
not need any coinage stamp to make il
current
No flower strikes root more readily
or blooms with greater blessing than
kindness.
Lots of people never lock the door
ON a temptation until they get it safe
IL inside the house.
When a man is determined to &C
blindfolded the accuracy of his eyes
will not help him much.
Undue consciousness of the intellect
usually rises from an unrecognize6
sense of an aching void.
No matter how hungry man may
he he is sure to choke on the bread OF
charity without the butter of kindness

A strong effort is being made by
certain Legislators to put Casey
county in the Eighth district, the
final result of which would mean,
kick Rockcastle in the Eleventh.
Mr.. Alverson, of Lincoln county,
the father of the bill, is on record
as having said that such was the
intentions. What is to be gained
BY kicking one Republican county
out to put another in, We cannot
understand, and just such legisla-
ton is to-day largely the cause OF
the great fall off in the Democratic
strength of the State. 1t is true
that Rockcastle is the only county
in the Eighth which always
gives Republican majority.
and il is equally as true that she
has over thousand Democrats,
who are as loyal as ever lived. To
be kicked into the Eleventh by the
party of their own choice where
there will be neither hope nor re-
ward, would be thrust which not
even the most died in the WOOL
could tolerate. If the best inter
es,s OF the party or district de-
mand such change, then we
would say "amen," but to trample
upon the rights of many simply to
