Lee and His Influence

Southern papers are ievlvlng a
story of General Robert E Lee
which is interesting in view of re-
cent revelations in New York of
Modern business methods.
An insurance company elected
General Lee president, fixing a
large salary. A friend Of Lees
was sent to him to urge him to ac-
cepi. The general replied that As.
he had accepted the presidency If
Washington college he conld not
accept the position lis he would not
have thelime to discharge the duties
of both satisfactorily.
But. General, replied the insur-
ance representative, I'VE really do
not wish to impose any duties upon
you. Others can do the necessary
work, and your name and influence
Will handsomely compensate us for
the salary we offer you"
Lee was annoyed, and with cold
made this reply
Il am sorry. sir. that YOU and
those YOU represent didnot know
ne better than to suppose that nv
name and influence are for sale at
any price.
How does this compare with the
practice of cur great financiers and
captains Of industry of New York
who make Il steady practice of sell
ng their name and influence to
y operations in which they have
not the slightest interest Wheel

will be a State Exposition, and will

conclude either that the State was

Their invention is Il board Melted

Feed for the fowls is scattered

its work is magical. As soon as

The hens before being expert

RntiOns For Stations.

Raw eggs afford Il very nourishing,
cooling and easily digested feed for
stations when doing large business
in the stud. A half dozen may be bro

night and morning to great advantage
in many cases. The grain ration may
be somewhat diminished when eggs are
fed. Such a ration adds somewhat to
the expense or cost Of keep, but a
single additional foal will more than
pay cost of all the eggs that any stall

TROUBLESOME SOWS.
How to Handle the Breachy and VI

When SOW becomes incorrigiblt
usually the wiSest course is to fatteI

Dean in National Stockman. The tend.
ency is for the rest of the herd to con.
tract the same habits. But it is often
the case that the troublesome SOW is
the most prolific and the best mother
of the bunch Her unusual vitality
cXcrts itself in mischief as well as the
rearing OF offspring. The troublesome
SOW usually lives better than the rest,
for she has her share, and she gets as
much more as she can. Ii is thought
to he q waste of time to attempt to
curb vicious SOW. However, there
are occasions when we very much
want to do SO.

A common ailment among young pigs

on by too much rich food, augmented
by damp, chilly bedding. There are
many so called remedies for scours,

ment is to shut off the swill bucket,
which is usually the direct cause, keep
