Let the German people keep a lesson
from antiquity before their eyes. Once
before an England and Germany OF
no less different character have con-
fronted each other They were Car
thage and Rome. And old Rome with
its policy of force and power finally
conquered the cash politics of Carthage
and raised itself to the position of the
first power upon earth. We have his.
torical example when we say that the
German people must return from the
imitation Of the un-German Carthagin-
ian-British finance policy and must &c
back to the Roman-German policy OF
power and might. In no other way
can really great WeltpoIitik be pro
NOTED in the hope perhaps of making
ourselves ultimately the leading PEG
pie In the world.-Berlin Grenzboten.

Monkeys nave No Fleas.

1t is curious that monkeys should be
thought to be infested with what nat
uralists call the Pulex irritans and
what ordinary people know as the flea.
AS every zoologist is aware, monkeys
have neither fieas nor any other para
site whatsoever, in which of course
they differ vastly from man. AS a
matter of fact, when monkeys begin
to pick each other about in the friend
~ way we have all observed they
merely detach bits of hardened seba-
ceous matter which has been excreted
by the glands, and the flea idea is en-
tirely fabulous

and stuck the slip on the spindle.

he opened the drawer. The other bills
had been banded, and it was an easy
matter to get only the foundry deposit
He ran the bills over rapidly, then
turned to her with a puzzled express

picked up the pile of bills and laid
them back in the drawer. Don't find

All through the rest of the afternoon
he wondered as he went about his
work There was trouble over the
shortage, and Niblo left the bank with
warning that the next mistake would
be his last.
He went straight across the street
to the dental Office in the postofiice
building, where Nettie had told him to
meet her, and in the darkness they
watched the interior of the bank.
At last Benson came into the receiv-
ing teller's pen and fumbled there

her vigil and went TO the telephone.
Half an hour later Nettie, her father
and NlbIo confronted Benson, still por-
ing over his books.
In his pocket was a bill to which the
steel filings still chung, and Nettie led
the way to Niblo's compartment Pull
ing out the drawer, she fumbled be-
meath for a second and drew out a
heavy magnet.

treasurer at the foundry is Mr.. Ben

posits should be made in the afternoon,

the bills would reach high. One bill
would stick to the magnet on account
of the filings. The drawer is not locked

Raising Pork at Low Cost.

1t is SO easy to feed corn and hogs
like 1T so much better than anything
else that 1t is little wonder that most
pork is raised on corn But as The
Farmer says:
1t is now being found that swine can
be pastured in good form on rape or
clover or both, and finished on COW
peas or soy beans. or course, If GER
tain amount OF corn can be made to
supplement the foods mentioned, the
swine will do much better. This meth
Cd of raising swine can be done with
out great labor. The growing Of these
crops has tendency in itself to enrich
the land. and when they are pastured
off by swine the increase In fertility
Is just SO much greater There is an
other very great advantage In grow
Ing pork in this way. Swine are likely
to keep in condition and they will make
quality of pork that Is If anything
ahead Of that grown in the corn coun
try. We have often wondered that this
method of growing swine did not com
mend itself to farmers earlier That
it did not, however, is Just In keeping
with the slOwneSs with which many
other important crops engaged the at
tention cf those who ought to be most
interested IN them.

Cost OF PRODUCING MIX.


The New Jersey Experiment Station
summarizes its record of the cost Of
producing milk from the college herd
as follows: THE daily cost Of total
food per COW varied from 116O cents
in 1896 to 12SS cents In 1901. The
daily cost for fine feed varied from 400
cents in 1896 to 762 cents in 1901: the
cost Of roughage varied from 5.23 cents
in 1902 to Gel cents In 1896 The cost
of production per quart varied from
2.26 cents in 1902 to 2.49 cents in 1896,
and the average annual yield per COW
was 6,52S pounds. The study Of the
records of individual cows also showed
that but little profit can be derived
from a COW that does not produce 5000
pounds Of milk per year, particularly If
the product Is sold at the low price Of
l cent per pound; no stronger argu-
ment is needed in favor Of the necessity
Of testing the animals, and thus learn
ing their exact value, than is afforded
by these records. Furthermore, the
facts brought out by the records indi-
cate that there IS but little profit from
a COW that does not produce 200 pounds
of butter per year, and point to the
necessity Of a careful selection Of cows
for the butter dairy"

A Resourceful Bow.

The late Peter Lorillsrd Ronalds liked
perseverance i'll his servants. When he
told them TO do thing he expected
them TO do it, no matter how difficult il
might be. If he sent a stableman out to
buy certain kind of whip, he expected
the man not to return until the whip
was secured, though he should have tc
visit hundred shops TO get it.
There is n story about the way Mr.
Ronalds came to hire young groom.
He was in Il drug store one day, when
a shabby little boy entered.
The boy advanced boldly to the clerk
took small camel's hair brush from his
pocket and said:
"Smell this, an gimme 10 cents
worth I've forgotten the name"
The clerk smiled, smelt and took down
the iodine bottle; and Mr.. Ronalds en-
gagged the ingenious and resourceful boy

Iaulf Finding.

Unfortunately great many farmers
and farmers wives are addicted to
fault finding. Nothing causes more I'M
happiness in q family than continual
nagging. There is no sense in 1t, 1t
does no good and it always makes for
mischief. Fault finding turns more
children away from home than any
thing else. Some men are enjoyed bet
ter out Of sight just for this reason.
Their room is preferred to their com
pany.
Usually fault finding Is confined to
the little things-things that should be
passed over lightly. The big things are
taken philosophically enough, talked
over and remedied or borne with as
seems best But the little petty things
are talked over and over. each one
thinking that the other should give IN.
The habit grows. 1t has sent many n
woman to an early grave, wrecked
many a mans usefulness and scattered
families that otherwise would have
lived happily in the farm home.

remove the bottom. Give the plant
what protection is needed at the base
with soil heaped up and then set the
basket over it. In locations where the
winters arevery severe the plant should
first be protected by wrapping 1t in
straw and mounding up the soil at the
bottom SO that mice can not make a
bed in the straw. Tie the straw loose
ly about each plant, then set the basket
over 1t. The illustration shows the idea
plainly, except that the artist has left
no opening at the top OF the plant,
which should be done that circula-
ton Of air pass through. The cost Of
this arrangement Is so small there
ought to he no reason why all plants
needing winter protection can not be

Com post for Plants.

An excellent compost for pot plants
or anything else can be made by skim
ming off slices OF sods, adding some
fine stable manure and then allowing it
to decompose. 1t should be fine as pos
sible when used. Compost may be
made in various ways, however. Some
collect leaf mould, sods and dirt, add
ing liquid manure, and occasionally
fresh, solid manure, working It over
frequently, until the whole is fine. 1t
should not contain too much manure,
being more serviceable in the form OF
rich dirt.

in all parts of the country. A writer
truly says:
Alfalfa has conquered There IS prac-

If seeded in the proper manner and on
inoculated soil II incubation is neces-

trying to grow profitable crops even
though these crops are not commonly
produced in their locality.

by local applications. as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There IL
only one way to cure deafness, and that Is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an infamed condition Of the mu-

this tube is infamed you have rumblng
sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t is
entirely closed. Deafness is the result and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to Its normal condi-
