stop to think how much misery he
causes others who cannot avoid CD
serving his moods?
Yet there are many young men VINO
are inclined to encourage themselves
in the habit OF sulking. The habit OF
sulking generally is a close compan-
ion with chronic fear in the same per-
son that he will do too much work FOR
the money he gets. Combined these
two afford the strongest working pair
for sitting success In life that the
young man has to battle against.
With very few exceptions the young
man whose chief effort has been to
avoid working more thar his pay call
ed for and who has carried this as
the governing principle of his life has
been greater or less failure. When
he himself has reached middle life
and has begun to complain because
other men have got ahead of him he
looks every where but in the right
place for the reason. The place IS
himself and the reason. Is that he
made the mistake of never doing as
well as he could because he was
afraid Of cheating himself.
What he actually did was to cheat
himself In the worst way. There is,
as rule, no escape from the truth
that unless man gives the best
there is in him he will never get the
best there is for him. Careers which
look like exceptions to this rule are
due to peculiar conditions such as do
not arise in ordinary lives.
Don't watch the clock! Don't be
afraid you are doing toe, much! Don't
spend any good portion of the day
sulking about something that has
gone wrong!
The day is twice lorger and yet
hasn't half the joy and will generally
bring less than half the results in
good work to the mann who puts In
half his time In sulking and fighting
some unseen, imaginary enemy.

SILVER AND GOLD.

THE exports of silver from London
to the Far East from the beginning of
the wear to October Is were worth $685.
s51.2so, against $$2S,292,330 in the like
period of the preceding year. OF this
amount India got $e4,6ss,9s0, China
and the Straits getting the rest. For
the use Of the United States mint the
treasury bought 100000 ounces at 7o.9
cents an ounce. This means a material
change in the commercial ratio of sill
YER to gold. Till 1873 this was under
16 to 1, but with the decline of silver it
became by 1902 as high as 1915 to L.
Since 1902 the ratio has been declining.
In 1903 it was 1887 to 1, and this year
the figure is more nearly 80 to l.
The demand of prosperous India is,
Of course, the main cause of the pres
emit rise Of silver The millions of that
country invest their savings in the
white metal. often in the form of jew

modities happens concurrently with the
rise of. silver. This phenomenon is at
tributed by speculative financiers to a
fall in the value of gold due to excess

oLo MAN HlsEy.

The attendant cost of placing old
man Hisey,s name on the officia
ballot as a candidate for governor has
been the subject of much comment OF
late. 1t was a needless and uncalled
for expense, and the presence of his
name on the ballot lowered the dignity
that should hedge all connected with
the franchise The fact Is that the
state has acted like boys do at school
election when they vote for the butt
of the village jokes, Just for rum
Mr.. Hiseys name should not have
been on the ballot.
But there is another feature of His
ey's campaign that should not be over
looked. For months this old man has
wandered about the state, sleeping where
he might when night overlook him,
leased. cozened and ridiculed, vaporing
on streets and highways the wild i'm
q ginings of a fine mind disorganized and
gone wrong, in the language of an edu-
Gated man. Press dispatches have been
devoted to his reception by students,
and fired other mobs of boys and half
witted men to tease, annoy and abuse
him. Why didn't common sense and
ordinary pity take charge of the poor
old man for his own good and the
credit of the community?
Was he funny? Perhaps; but, as
the "Virginian" said OF the hen Wister
has made famous, Perhaps it isn't so
id fanny, after ALL" What is so fun
ny" about an old, gray man, with a dis
ordered mind, struggling in weakness
across the state with wheelbarroW,
faranguing mobs, wet, cold and hun
CRY? Is he an object for laughter or
for pity?
Someone who has the right by con-
sanguinity or office should look after
old man Hisey. He needs care. He
isn't funny, but pitiable.

Use. Cold MIX may

it otherwise. Cold milk may be
SKINNED with separator, but much
fat will be lost in the skim milk.
One of the greatest mistakes and one
which is most commonly made is that
of insufficient cleansing of the separ-
ator The machine should be taken
apart after each separation and thor
oughly cleansed. 1t is not sufficient to
simply rinse it out with warm water
and let it stand till the next time. Sep
arators washed once a day are not
clean.
Every one who has examined sep
arator bowl after the milk has been
separated knows that there is great
amount of slime or slush adhering to
the separator bowl. Simply rinsing
will not remove this. The slime con-
sists mainly OF water and Gaseous
matter, but also contains fat some
other organic substances and a small
amount Of ash. 1t also contains a
great many bacteria and Is just at the
right temperature to foster their
growth. There Is consequently a de-
cay Of this material and q development
Of evil odors to faint the next milk
which passes thru the bowl.
It is therefore, worth while empha-
sizing again that the separator be ta-
ken apart each time and thoroughly
cleaned, a free use being made OF the
brushes supplied for cleaning cream
and skim milk outlets or other small
openings.
IN washing the separator or any
other milk utensils, scalding hot water
should, never be used until the milk
has been washed off. The use Of such
water would scald the albuminoids SO
that they would stick to the utensils
and be very hard to remove. This ac-
ton off scalding water makes 1t un-
wise to use scalding hot water to flush
separator at any time.
Milk utensils should first be washed
in luke-warm water, with liberal
amount of sal soda or other good
washing powder. then rinsed with
warm, clean water. Then dip them
into boiling water or pour boiling wa
ter over them and put them where they
will drain and dry without wiping.
They will quickly dry, because hot. It
is a mistake to use rag either in
washing or drying milk vessels. It IL
almost impossible with ordinary pre-
caution to keep the rag sweet, clean.
and bacteria free. The brush should
be used freely in washing, however.
Other things which are not directly
connected with the separator itself, but
which surely lessen profits, are fall
ure to make good use Of the Skim
milk and to properly care for the
cream. Separator skim milk Is val-
liable product, and II Immediately used

pigs and chickens. The cream should
be cooled Immediately or its coming

who would appoint Boss Blythe or

Making $3.50 Cattle.
IChicago Drovers Journal.l


Charles Fischer, ST., the famous feed
err, who has won prizes In all sections
of this country with carload lots of cat
tie from his feed lots, was here and
marketed six head of very choice
1433-pound steers that went to Armour
& Co., at $3.50, the top price of the
year thus far for that number, the best
full loads having sold up to $3.50.
While the steers were of very
choice beef class, Mr.. Fischer says they
are not the best that are in his feed
lot.
1t will be remembered that Mt. Es-
cher is the man who holds the record
of the Chicago International grand
championship for steers in 1902, that
load selling at $14.50 per 100 pounds,
and he was also winner of the Amerl-
can grand championship at Pittsburg
in 1901, when his full carload OF An
gus beef steers sold at $2l.5O per l0O
pounds, a price which stands unbeaten
in the history Of sales of carloads OF
beef cattle.
Angus cattle are prime favorites
with Mr.. Fischer in his feeding, and
early this year he visited Scotland and

choicest breeding cattle he could find
