When Morales tried to blow King
Alfonso and Queen Victoria to pieces
In Madrid, he was acting much as did
FIeschi, who tried to assassinate King
Louis Philippe of France, in July,
1885. The king was riding along the
lines Of the national guard in the
Boulevard du Temple. There came a
crash and rush of bullets. Louis
Philippe's arm was grazed, his horse
was shot in the neck, Marshal Nor
tier fell dead and about thirteen other
people were killed and thirty wound
ed. Fieschi had taken the upper
floors of house several weeks be-
fore and there rigged up an oaken
frame four feet by three feet six
inches, supported on four posts Of
oak and itself supported twenty-five
gun barrels fixed in grooves at vari-
GUS angles so as to command an area
of Awenty-fve feet in length and ten
feet in height. When he fired the
train of powder that let off this bat
terry, the king would have been killed
if four barrels had not burst and two
missed fire.

ANOTHER WONDERFUL
CURE BY CUTICURA

"I had an eruption appear on my
chest and body and extend upwards
and downwards, so that my neck and
face were all broken out; also my arms
and the lower limbs as far as the knees.
/ at first thought it was prickly heat.
But soon scales or crusts formed where
the breaking out was. Instead of going
to a physician, ! purchased a complete
treatment of the Cuticura Remedies, in
which / had great faith, and all was
satisfactory. A year or two later the
eruption appeared again, only little
lower; but before it had time to spread
procured another supply of the Cuti-
Cura Remedies, and continued their use
until the cure was complete. 1t is now
five years since the last attack, and
have not seen any signs of return. l
have taken about three bottles OF the
Cuticura Resolvent, and do not know
how much of the Soap or Ointment, as
always keep them with me; probably
one half dozen of each.
IL decided to give the Cuticura REM
edies trial after had seen the results
of their treatment of eczema on an
infant belonging to one of our neigh
bors. The parent took the child to the
nearest physician, but his treatment did
no good. So they procured the Cuticura
Remedies and cured her with them.
When they began using Cuticura REM
edies her face was terribly disfgured
with sores, but she was entirely cured,
for saw the same child at the age of
five wears, and her mother told me the

the following anecdote which Rev. R.

An old colored man stole a pig and
after getting home with the animal
knelt to pray before retiring. His
wife heard him praying to the Lord
to forgive him for stealing the pig.
She went to sleep, with Uncle Eph
still praying. Later in the night she
woke up and saw her husband still
kneeling in prayer. At daybreak his
supplications had not ceased.
"Eph, why don't you come to bed?"
asked his wife.

SKIN MlNGS.

American farmers should feed more
bran.
The hand separator Is now very pop
ular and profitable.
The dairy COW is a great factor in
every civilized country.
If a man would have a first.class
herd of cows he should raise them
himself.
The pioneer always finds the COW
a great help in obtaining food in an
unsettled country.
A cow should not always BE judged
by what she is doing, but by what
she might do If given a proper chance.
The average of Il COWS is too low
in quality. We can improve 1t by
continually disposing of the poorest.
Many a calf that would make a
valuable COW Is sent to the butcher
because the owner could sell his milk
at a good price.

STILL ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT
American Farmer Learning to Do
Profitable Dairyina.

In a recent conversation with the
writer, Prof. Fraser said that tho
American farmer has not learned how
to make the most out of his land and
has not yet acquired the ability to
make as much out of his COWS as some
of the European dairymen do. He
declares that 1t is easily possible for
the American COW owner to make
twice as much milk and cream out OF
1t as the average cow makes. This
is u fourfold increase of the returns
from an acre of land.
There is no doubt that the pro-
lessor is right and that we can accom-.
plish four times as much as we are
doing now and with the same gen.
eral expenditure. This is q remark.
able statement, but it is one easy to
prove. The average COW is a poor
specimen Of the bovine race, making
less than $50 pounds of butter in a
year. II Is not Il great stretch of the
imagination to see every COW giving
milk enough to produce at least 300
pounds of butter per year. or all COWS
giving enough to bring the average
up to that point.
On the other hand, it Is not an ex.
travagant thing to believe that the
time is coming when the average acre
of land viii produce twice as much
forage as at the present time. In
this country we have had such a
superabundance of land that we have
fallen into the habit Of using it waste
fully. Some of the pastures are in
the condition in which they were
when the timber was cut off. The
soil has never been turned, and the
wild grasses are tie only ones to BIO
found. 1t takes a good many acres OF
such land to support a cow, especially
in Il dry summer, such as this has
been in some sections devoted to
dairying.
II will require many years yet to
awake our COW owners To the real
conditions as they exist and to corr.
pare them wit the conditions that
may exist. Could we drop some OF
these COW ownors down into the fields
of Holland OF Denmark, the impress
sion might be sooner made. To do
profitable dairying requires a wee ling
out process in our methods. The
method that has been followed for
two centuries of p~asturing COW on
any kind of pasture nature may give
us should be abandoned. The old
natural pasture does not produce
enough feed even when it it is not
overstocked, and it is frequently Sc
badly ove:stocked that 1t will not
produce as much as it might.
