are covered with lawn and overland

Gather an edge of the straight en-

tradition he will doubtless solve the
problem to his own satisfaction.
Inasmuch as Mr.. Lee says that his
monument is, in part, the result of a
desire to refute the harsh things said
against Mr.. Rockefeller by his critics,
it is quite likely that the inscription
work will be devoted to defense of
the subjects methods.
His ample fortune, which is various
1y estimated by his neighbors, has
given the monumentmaker an oppor-
tunity to copy his hero's philanthropy.
Besides erecting the memorial, he is
credited with many other kind deeds,
but, like the model citizen, Mr.. Lee is
careful of his funds.

SELECTING OF
DAIRY CATTLE

The British board of agriculture, in
dealing with this subject, binds it's
faith to the dual-purpose COW, and nat
urally considers that the carefully
bred Shorthorn approaches most near
ly to its ideal. 1t is acknowledged, how
ever, that a difference in choice ought
to be determined by the nature Of the
ground and the purpose for which tho
COWS are kept. For good land tho
breeds recommended are Dairy Short
horns, South Devons, Jerseys and
Guernseys; for exposed country,
Welsh, Ayrshires, Kerries and Red
polls. Those kept for milk-seling had
best be Dairy Shorthorns, Welsh, Ayr
shires and Kerries; for butter-mak'
ing, Jerseys, Guernseys, South Devons,
Dairy Shorthorns and Red-polls.

Latter Still Lives.
Latter Still Lives.

Persons whose minds cannot rise
above sordid things may envy John D.
Rockefeller his wealth.
Those whose ideals range along
the higher plane of golf playing may
be jealous of the oil kings skill on the
links.
But the seekers after undying fame
those who dream fondly of leaving
behind them a name for posterity to
bless-have just cause now to envy
the worlds richest man unique dis
tinction which has been thrust upon
him.
For Mr.. Rockefeller's career has in
spired an amendment to world-old
tradition-the tradition which has to
do with perpetuating in stone and
bronze the memory of the earth's
great spirits.
| Custom has decreed that monuments
shall be erected to men who have done
well enough in life to deserve recog-
milton In death, and the shades of the
departed are supposed to be pleased
in ghostly way at the tardy tribute.
But Mr.. Rockefeller need not wait
until he reaches the spirit land to en-
joy this sensation. He is to have a
monument raised to his virtues while
he is yet alive, and he will be able to
stand before the statue which will
hand down his name to posterity and
realize something of the impression
the memento will make on future gen.
erations.
True enough, he has raised costly
structures which stand today as mon
uments to his philanthropy. But this
particular monument will be different
Mr.. Rockefeller knows nothing of It;
he was not consulted in the matter,
and the memorial will rise as volun-
tary tribute from one of his admirers
who believes In deeds of praise rather
than words.

The electric culture installation at

tention. Very soon after Jablouchoff
invented the electric arc it was dis
covered that the rays from this light
stimulated the growth of plants, and
the work was continued by Sir w.
Siemens in Great Britain and by Mr..
Bailey in America. Sir w. Siemens
died before his experiments we're com.
pleted, but they were of splendid prom

and fastened growth and maturity. In
