the affront and paused In arrested at

fell, broken only by the voice of Miss

cheerily to the general. Tom was left
standing alone In the broken semi

All the eyes swept from her to him

talk hastily about nothing. The young
mans humiliation was public.

The Massachusetts experiment sta
ton kept track Of the cost of feed eat
en- by three farm horses for five years
The feed consisted Of hay, corn, oats
and other common feeding stuffs. The
cost of the ration averaged from 1871
to 24A cents per head daily. At the
Oklahoma station Kaffir corn was used
quite extensively. With Kaffir corn
and ordinary corn at 20 cents bushel
oats 25 cents, bran % cents per 100
pounds, the average cost Of a work
horses daily ration was II cents. If
all horse owners understood how good
oats are for horse feed there would
be better horses in the country. Corn
Is almost unfit for the hard worked
horse. If you feed oats the horses may
not look quite so fat, but they will be
in better condition. They will have
more life and feel more like working,
and 1t Is settled fact that they will
do more work during the season by a
great deal, enough more that 1t will pay
well to feed ON oats.-Farm Home.

"GoD's POOR"

They Do a Work that Is Not Always
Appreciated.
1T seems as If half the village was
gone since Bertha Garden died." said
Mrs. Blake at the sewing society; and
every one echoed the sentiment.
Bertha had been the one poor, suffer-
ing person in Unity Village for almost
twenty years. Her father had been
killed In the mill when she was baby.
Her mother had had hard work to
earn enough for the two-and it be-
came harder still when the child de-
veloped spinal disease and could not
walk. But there mother and child had
lived, and the neighbors had helped out
the slender earnings in all sorts Of
ways.
Bertha was the sweetest and most
patient Of invalids. She lay in her
bed and amused herself uncomplaining-
ly during the long days, while her
mother worked in the mill. Sometimes
she was too sick to be left, and then
the overseer managed to keep Mrs.
Gardens place for her until Bertha was
better.
Once there seemed a chance that a
surgical operation might help the Grip
pie, and the village had a famous fair
to raise the hundred dollars necessary
for the great surgeon. Every winter
there was some sort Of a good time in
honor of Bertha and her needs. Every
body contributed to her Christmas box.
Everybody went to see her, and came
away with a lesson in Christian pa
tience and gratitude.
No wthat she was dead, the little
town recognized dimly what she had
been to 1t. She had furnished the rea
son for many Of its innocent good
times. She had been a constant ex-
ample of some of the most difficult vir-
tues. Best of all, she had been the
stimulus Of compassion and sympathy,
and no one had thought of her for
twenty years without a warm throb Of
pity, that most gracious Of human emo
dons.
Now there seemed to the little circle
Of her friends nobody left in the world
who needed their help. The village,
instead Of being the richer because it
held one less pair of unproductive
hands, was the poorer because it had
lost one of Goods poor"
Perhaps the lesson Of Unity Village
might reach a wider public. 1t is not
often that a community has but a sin
gle object for It's compassion. But
Gods poor" be they few or many,
bring their own blessings to those who
serve them. That we have them al
ways with us is our guaranty Of the
permanence in our world Of some Of
the noblest Of human virtues.-Youth's

stupendous Farm Wealth.

The wealth production on farms in
1905 reached the highest amount ever
attained by the farmer Of this or any
other country, "a stupendous aggre-
gate Of results Of brain and muscle
and machine" amounting in value to
$6,415,000,000, an excess over last year
Of $256,000,000. The wealth produced
on farms in 1905 exceeds that Of 1904
by A per cent, that of 1903 by 8 per
cent and that shown by the census fig
ures for 1899 by SO per cent. Should
there be no relapse from his present
position as wealth producer three
years hence the farmer will find that
the farming element, about 35 per cent
Of the propulation, has produced an
amount Of wealth within ten years
equal to one-half Of the entire national
wealth produced in three centuries.

CRADLES OF MANY LANDS.
In Guinea Infants Are Buried II
Sand Up to the Waist.

Sand Up to the Waist.
When a baby Is born in Guinea all
sorts of funny things happen to it.
Its mother buries 1t in the sand up to
its waist so that 1t cannot get into
mischief and this is the only cradle
it knows anything about.
The little Lapp infant is Graded in
shoe-his mothers. This Is a big
affair covered with skin and stuffed
with soft moss. This can be hung on
tree or covered up with snow while
mamma goes to church or any place
where babies are not invited. q
The baby of India rides in a basket
which hangs from it's mothers head, or
from her hips, or in a hammock. In
some parts the baby's nose is adorned
with nose-ring and in others its face
Is wrapped in a veil like its mother.
The Chinese baby. is tied to the back
Of an older child.
The Mongolian infants travel about
in bags slung on a camel's back.
In some countries the mothers lay
their babies where a stream of water
falls on their heads. This is to make
them tough, which it does, unless the
babies die as a result Of this treatment.
Another mother covers her baby's head
with paste, while the Tartar baby is
covered with butter.
The Turkish baby Is salted-perhaps
to keep 1t sweet-while the worst fate
Of all falls to the lot Of the newly born
children in Bulgaria. Their mothers
put hot omelette on the little ones
heads to make them solid and protect
them from sunstroke. The Bulgarian
baby does not like it any better than
you would. He makes a great howl
about 1t, but 1t is not bit Of use. His
mother thinks she knows better about
some things than he does, so he has to
submit, which he does with a very
bad grace indeed.

Hog raising has declined so much In
some sections that farmers are reduced
to the purchase of the coarse and
chemically treated hams sold in the
markets. These are far inferior to
farm raised, corn and milk fed hogs
of the smaller breeds with the hams
cured in the old-fashioned manner. A
plan still practised is to hang the hams
In a barrel which connects by con-

The Missouri State Board Of Agri-
culture in cooperation with the Agri-
cultural College has just inaugurated
new educational campaign. Lectur-
ers are being sent to the country school
houses in various parts Of the State to
speak to the children and parents upon
practical problems Of farming. Usually
two lectures are given at each place,
one in the afternoon and one at night.
In many places 70 to 100 farmers at
tend the meetings, often going miles
over muddy roads. The funds in the
hands Of the board are not sufficient to
enable it to send lecturers to every
schoolhouse, but the enthusiasm with
which the farmers receive the instruc-
tion leads to the belief that Missouri
is beginning new era in agricultural
education.

Never trust a horse which has once
run away. There is no excuse for let
ting him repeat the performance



One speaker at Montreal during a
recent session Of the Canadian tariff
commission said that the average farm
In Huntingdon County represented an
investment Of $1,000. On such a farm
there would be twelve cows Of total
value Of $420. Two cows would fatten
two pigs and four calves. The revenue
from the milk and milk products Of
twelve cows amounted to about $420 a
year; from the two pigs and four
calves, 500. They would sell two
beeves at $40 each. From the sale Of
horses, one in two years, apples and
small stuff, there would be another
500. The produce of the farm eaten
annually by q family Of six was esti-
mated at $3.50; therefore there was a
total revenue Of $40 a year. To work
such a farm required the services Of
two men and one woman, worth in all
a value of $456 and their board at SO
a month. Then there would be expendi-
ture for blacksmlth's service, harness,
and various items of wear and tear, to
amount to 500. Thus, the total ex-
pense reached the sum Of $772, which,
deducted from total revenue Of $40,
left balance Of $6S. Another speaker
gave the balance sheet Of an average
dairy farm, showing receipts Of $1,205
and expenditures Of $563, leaving $500
for living, clothing, education, excur-
sions, etc.
