with whom they have been we'll acquainted

These wire acquaintanceships' are
curious. Many interesting tales are told of
the friendships formed in this way which
have continued through life of men and
women who have never seen each other.
Every person who works telegraph wire
has a certain individuality, which Is just
as strongly marked and is as characteristic
of his or her real self as can be. and ones
disposition may be better known in this
way than by personal contact.

When the area and square inches Of
surface are taken into consideration,
the largest coins ever issued by any
government on the globe were those put
into circulation by Sweden during the
sixteenth century. These mammoth
pieces are neither round, square, oval
nor octagon in shape, but are great ir-
regular slabs of copper described as
resembling pieces of boiler after an
explosion" The smallest piece issued
under the law which authorized this gi-
gantic coinage was an irregular rectan-
gular slab Of about twelve square inch
es of surface and about half an inch
thick 1t was worth 80 cents. The lar
geSt of the same series was about a
foot square and had a face value of ST.
Each Of these copper slabs is stamped
in several places on the face, the yari-
GUS inscriptions giving the date, denom-
ination, etc. The four dollar piece men
toned last above is nearly an inch in
thickness and weighs four pounds, lack
ing fraction.

A Court of Fine Manners.

At the court of Marie Antoinette all
emotions and passions were yelled by a
mask of politeness Even the children
were taught to speak with wit and tact
and courtesy and to bear pain in 81
lence. The little Due d'Angouleme,
eight years old, when the old Sanbrun
entered his presence Unexpectedly,
said, touching the book in his hand:
"Ah, monsieur, | am in the company
of Plutarch'S men. You could not
come at a moment more apropos." The
Count de Pallance, beheaded in his
tenth year, stood erect and calm in the
cart until he reached the guillotine.
The headsman lifted his long curls.
"Monsieur," said the boy, with bow
and a smile. The next moment his
head rolled in dust The man or wo-
man who showed any signs of Dreten
ton or self cOnceit was not received at
court Profound Difference was shown
to women and to the aged. Well bred
men heard Of their own ruin with a
bonnet and went out to fight each
other to the death with such grace and
courtesy that the duel seemed sacra
ment of friendship.

A stable for dairy cows should be
we'll lighted and ventilated. 1t should
have light walls and ceiling and a
sound floor Dairy COWS when crowd
ed into dark and dirty stables cannot
be expected to produce as much milk
nor milk with as wholesome properties
as those provided with clean, airy
quarters where the sunlight enters
through numerous windows and where
the foul air of the stable is replaced by
pure air without subjecting the COWS
to injurious drafts. When on full feed
the dairy cow is hard worked and less
able to withstand extremes of weather
than is other stock, for her energies
are then being eXerted in the direction
of production rather than self preserva-
ton. 1t is not only humane, but more
profitable, to keep her warm by max
ing the stable comfortable instead Of
compelling her to use large amounts of
expensive food in maintaining her
body temperature. = Bulletin Illinois

TO SHOW HE'S NOT HENPECKED
Gibes Cause Alderman to Go Counter
to Wife's Wishes.

Milwaukee, Wis, Feb. 27.-Alder
man John Weiher has decided to run
for reelection. Several days ago it
was announced that he had decided to
retire. and there was CONSERVATION
among the Poles, Of whom he is
king"
Then the news came that Mrs Wei
her objected to his running for another
term. He has been alderman for fifteen
years, and Mrs. Weiher served notice
through the press that that was
enough, and that she was not going to
have an alderman in the family for
another year. 1t was up to John. she
said, to retire. She boosted that she
had influence enough to make him
quit the political game.
Since then Weiher's friends at the
city hall have had much fun with him.
Now. to show he isn't henpecked, he
has decided to run again.

Secret of king.

The young man who starts in the
dairy business often hesitates before
deciding whether he will make butter
or just sell milk. 1t is proper he should
do SO. He may think it much harder
to make butter than just milk While
the skill is greater, the labor is really
less. Now, the skill of buttermaking
is a bugbear There is very little skill
in it outside of the imperative necessity
for real cleanliness The actual process
of buttermaking is so simple that an
intelligent child can learn it in a week,
but the job of unlearning an old maker
of bad butter is the work Of lifetime.
The whole trouble centers around the
one word cleanliness. What is clean to
one person is rank dirt to another, but
the quality Of butter tells the tale just
as the clock tells the time or the Their
mometer tells the heat, no matter what
you may think about it.-Home and

ROOTS FOR DAIRY COWS.
Properly Used The Arc Valuable
For Winter Feeding.

properly Used The Are Valuable
For Winter Feeding.
In England and northern Europe
roots are very highly priced as a COW
feed, says L. w. Lightly in National
Stockman In the corn belt on large
farms the root crop may not be eco
nomical but on small farms and ID
SO we'll roots should always form part
of the winter ration The man who has
no silo should always feed some roots
to his dairy cattle during the winter.
Some of the Danish Investigators found
that roots will take the place Of at least
part of the grain in the ration, as the
that pound of dry matter in roots
was equal to a pound of dry matter III
cereal grains for dairy production
Professor Hunt of Cornell station
suggests this rotation of roots: Cab
bages for September, October and No
vember; rutabagas or hybrid turnipS
gels for the rest of the winter. would
suggest for our latitude cabbage liz
October, turnips in November and
mangels and beets the rest of the win
ter. Cabbage and turnips must always
be fed Immediately after milking to
avoid tainting the milk. When man
gels and beets are fed, precautions are
not necessary
Roots should always be sliced OF
pulped for COWS. Some dairymen
speak very highly of results obtained
by mixing some cut or chopped hay
with the pulped roots and letting this
mixture stand for some hours before
feeding and putting some of the grain
ration on it when it is fed. The hay
causes the cattle to chew and mix sa-
Iva with the feed better and it also
makes the hay more palatable.
Where roots are merely fed as rel
ish or for a little succulence twenty to
forty pounds per day is considered
sufficient but in the old country. where
they are fed for business, 100 pounds
or more per day is a common ration
for a good sized cow and with the
present prices of grain it is very
cheap feed. An acre of good soil can
be made to produce as much dry digest
ible matter in a root crop as in Il corn
crop; but, as a rule, roots are more ex-
pensive, Roots properly fed with other
feeds make a very excellent quality Of
milk and butter
