Friendly Toward Spain.

1t sometimes happens with nations
as with individuals that they like each
other better after test of force.
This country has not fought with
many countries, we are thankful to
say, but with. the few that have op-
posed their standards to ours we are
on excellent terms to-day. We never
liked Spain so well as now and Spain's
regard for us is more genuine than
ever before, because it is based upon
profound respect. Perhaps, too, she
has the vision to perceive that in free
ing one of her colonies, appropriating
another, purchasing third and occu-
pying way station or two on the
high seas, we have relieved her OF
responsibilities that were more per-
picking than profitable.

This is not hard to understand when
one considers the numbers to which
the daily press appeals. The channel
of the book or magazine is limited

through periodicals that the masses do

Still for this most transient appra-
citation of a daily reading public he
must bring, besides his craft as a
draughtsman an amount of observa-

Does it seem necessary that for the
pictrring of daily events, of fires, the
arrival of the president, the railway
collision, the police court trial, AID
all these current happenings that
serve for illustrated news a vast store

him? Does he have time at the fire
to make a careful study of fire en-

in time to finish his drawing for the
next issue of his paper? Not if he is
among the valuable newspaper artists
who can make three-column or five

No more does the cheerful cartoon

American journalism has come to stay
and it has reached point of excel

most democratic expression of art, and
in its formation lays the foundation
for an appreciation of the higher
graphic arts. 1t has furnished an
outlet for a large percentage of the

How He Does Il,


In an address before the Minnesota
Dairy Association, /. A. Sweet gave
his methods Of making his dairy COWS
average him $68 per head per year.
Some Of the points he mentioned were
as follows: Breed or buy good class
Of dairy COWS. Provide good, warm,
well-ventilated stables for winter, with
plenty of the right kind of feed. Feed
regularly and abundantly, but not
more than necessary. Milk speedily,
but gently, never maltreating or ex-
citing the COW in any way. Make pets
of your cows, and treat them gently
and kindly at all times. Never ex-
pose them to cold in winter-don't let
them run in the yard any day that is
so cold you cannot work out with bare
hands. Warm their water In winter,
Provide plenty OF good bedding. with
a drop behind the cows to hold the
animal refuse, SO the cow will be kept
absolutely clean at all times Never
let the cow out around the straw.
stack and in the cornfeld to fill up
on an article of food that will not pro-
duce milk. Let the dry COW and the
young cattle pick on this. Give her
uniform feed and care-don't turn out
one day, keep in the next, turn into
the field the next. That will make
her uneasy, and will dry her off-she
dislikes changes.

lack OF fortitude or bravery. Our
LORD was no stole. He here felt that
his physical body was giving wav
under an agony which no language
can describe
Throughout the whole Old Testa-
ment period God, under the Levitical
cooe o. laws, educated His chosen
people to the fact that without the
shedding Of blood there was no re-
mission OF sins. All these forms of sacri-
hclal atonement of the sins of Israel
wore typical of Christ, the Lamb of
God. And can it be supposed for
one moment that our Lord did not
fully realize this in Gethsemane?
And throughout the whole New Tes-
lament gospel, it is plainly stated
everywhere that our peace is through
the blood OF the cross. Surely then
that great Pascha1 Lamb Of God that
was to take away the sins of the
world did not hesitate nor falter at
the approach Of the atonement by
the shedding of His blood upon tie
cross. 1t was for the JOY that .as
set before Him that He endured
the cross and despised shame, and
He won thereby His seat at the right
hand of the throne of Cod
The staggering of Christ's physical
body underneath this tremendous
burden ->1ust not be mistaken or q
faltering of His will.

Cottage Cheese,

SseoS~ SitCCSSs
Many housewives who have skinned
milk to spare make it into those pal
atable little luxuries, cottage cheeses.
1t will interest them and others as
well to learn that at the Minnesota
Station they have been experimenting g
as to their food value as compared
with beef and other meats, using
working men as subjects for the tests.
Pound for pound, the report states.
cottage cheese prepared with cream
compares in composition and digesti-
bility with the meats. Where skim.
med milk can be procured at a low
cost, cottage cheese is one of tho
most economical foods that can be
used. The addition of cream to it ia.
vorably influences both it's nutritive
value and its palatability without in.
creasing the cost above that of other
meats. Upon the farm where milk
is produced, cottage cheese is one of
the cheapest foods that can be used.
1T is worth mentioning that the ex.
pertinent demonstrated that lean ba.
con contained as much protein and
about twice as much digestible fat as
other meats, making it at the same
time, even at higher price per pound,
cheaper food than other meats. Ba.
can fat is easily digested, and when
combined with other foods, it appears
to exert favorable mechanical action
upon digestion.

Farm Notes,

There. should be better live stock
on the farm, more soil improvement,
better seed and better tillage.
Charcoal fed poultry while fatten.
Ing is apt to whlten the skin. Buck.
wheat has q like tendency.
Sheep should always be fat when
marketed. Fat is produced cheaper
than lean, hence there is more profit.
Nothing pays better in the manage-
ment of herd Of dairy COWS than
regularity in feeding and caring for
them.
The Wisconsin Station has found
that COWS fed soiling crops without
pasture consumed from Is to 100
pounds of forage daily.
A lousy hog will eat as much. II

Of an egg Is water. Hens should have

source. Eggs cannot be made ort Of

bring him enough wealth to enable
him to raise Or use scrubs.

A brood SOW should never be too
fat, but bear in mind that it is next to

the sow should have an abundance OF
exercise, and with that there is no

While the quality of the feed given
to hogs has much to do with the quail

also have careful attention. A clean
