Never has better selection of per

went into spasms because of the con-

by her rare ability to render such Sc

recite and suit every word to the ac

Breeding Dairy Cows.

In breeding dairy cows a man should
have a definite object in view. Too
many shift from beef to dairy when
dairy products are low, and then shift
back again from dairy to beef when
beef rises in value. By this method a
man is constantly shifting from one
breed to another, and as a result he is
getting a herd that is good for neither
milk nor beef. A man must have an
ideal toward which he is breeding and
then bend all his energies to that end.
This shifting from one breed to another
is a suicidal policy that will ruin any
man and any herd.--Kansas Expert
ment Station.

half bushel Kentucky blue grass, half
bushel meadow foxtail, adding half

There is honest inquiry rather than
querulous criticism in the question,
often asked, Why does not religion
produce a higher and stronger type Of
moral character? Enthusiasm for the
teachings of Christ often is cooled by
contact with some fiabby willed. mar

teachings.
1t is a common saying with business
men that it is hard to find man Of
absolute integrity. one who even meas

Gus, either by vocation or avocation.
At any rate, it is true that a certificate
of religious affiliations by no means Is
equivalent to a guarantee of high
moral worth.

In Retrospect.

In Retrospect.
lis many many years, comrades, since
we were boys in blue;
Since we were STRIPPING soldiers, and yet,
were veterans, too.
Now day by day our ranks grow thin, our
numbers smaller grow,
AS we march adown life's highway with
footsteps weak and slow.
Our records in life's busy marts, or leg
islative ball.
May be looked up to, more or less, by
circles large small
But what are civic hOnors, party leader
ship or praise,
When measured by the glories of our old
Potomac" days,
When streams ran red past fields where
dead in CHASTITY winrows lay,
Where men in blue, and men in gray,
fought hand to hand in deadly
fray;
With shattered ranks, and tattered flags,
they held the fort" or lost the
day,
Till Appomattox marked the end for the
ragged regiments in gray.
Yet, though in deadly fray we met, on
bloody fields, to gain our ends,
When night enwrapped the camp about,
between the lines we met as
friends;
We called them "Johnnies," they called
us "Yanks,' we smoked, and joked,
and traded too.
We didn't hate you, Johnnie Reb nor did
you hate the boys in blue
But calms succeed the wintry blasts, and
sunshine follows summer showers,
The battles raging fury spent leaves days
of rest and idle hours;
And, like boy set free from school, who,
full of mischief, romps and plays,
We sought relief from serious things in
harmless pranks and boyish ways.
We took our appetites along when we
marched 'gainst Bobby Lee,
We ate salt horse" and bareback, and
drank commissary B.
We got away with hoe cakes and the
''nigger mammy's" pies;
But "desecrated' vegetables we always
did deSpise.
And, say, do you remember, boys, how we
charged and overcame
Bushwhacking ducks, and turkeys rebel
pigs, and "sich like" game
And the geese who Kissed insultingly at
passing boys in blue,
When we marched in "od Virginny?"
Well, we gobbled them up, too.
And how we marched, mile after mile
we called it pulling mud
And next day "hoofed it" back again.
''cross creeks raging flood.
Lord how we tore about and cussed, in
language that was queer,
About the old mans orders, if he was
brigadier.
Then, when we'd got our "pup-tents" uE
and turned in froEa the rain.
Some darn'd "windiammer'' d beat his
drum and out we'd crawl again;
Cause some ''fishback recruity," out on
the picket line,
Jest blazed away at some old mule
without the countersgn.
All me how thick the memories come Of
wartime days so long ago,
When DER Virginny's hills mad plains we
marched against a gallant foe.
My eyes, with moisture growing dim, see
shadowy forms in faded blue,
A phantom troop of gallant friends, God
rest their souls, old comrades true
The shadows on lifes dial are lengthen-
ing for us all,
And now we hear, not far away, our sun
set bugle call,
And just beyond the headlands there is
rest for you and me-
Where comrades gone before stand guard
round Fort Eternity.

When, marshaled on the nightly plain,
The glittering host bestud the sky,
One star alone, of all the train,
Can fix the sinners wandering eye.
Hark bark to God the chorus breaks,
From every host, from every gem;
But one alone the Savior speaks
1t is the Star of Bethlehem.
Once on the raging seas | rode,
The storm was loud, the night was
dark
The ocean yawned-and rudely bowed
The wind, that tossed my laundering
bark.
Deep horror then my vitals froze,
Death struck, ceased the tide to stem !;
When suddenly a star arose
1t was the Star of Bethlehem.
1t was my guide, my life, my all;
1t babe my dark forebodings cease;
And, through the storm and dangers
thrall,
1t led me to the port of peace.
Now safely moored-my perils DER,
I'll sing first in nights diadem,
Forever and forevermore,

Burn Dead AnimarS


In the attempt to STAMP ont hoo
cnolera and other contagious diseases
'dnlong Live stock the matter of burn
Ing all dead animals is one of consid
erafGe Importance. Outbreaks off dis.
ease nave frequently been traced to the
careless disposal of the carcass of an
lnfected animal. Burning Is much more
effective than burying, as the germs of
some diseases, as anthrax, for example,
retaan their viriity for considerable
length of time. Then in burying car
cases, unless they are placed very deep
IN Une ground, there is always more or
less danger of their being rooted or dug
OUT Dogs will dig open such graves
and hogs will root them out
those who have attempted to bury q
hog or horse will readily appreciate the
statement that it Is easier to burn than
bury them. A little kerosene and a
brush heap will soon dispose of a car
cass, with the certainty that all germs
are destroyed. Some recommend the
construction of a specially arranged
furnace for this work, but on the ordi-
nary farm this would doubtless be an
added expense. 1t will not be diff
cult matter on any farm to gather
enough trash, such as brush, old rails,
ETC., to burn dead animal and the ex-
pense is inconsiderable. Anyway, it is
