BlSMARCK'S ANGER.
The Incident That Made Certain the
Franco German War.


Inc Princess Bismarck, so the story
goes, changed the political history of
France unwittingly. and but for her
the Franco-Prussian war might never
have been waged.
Bismarck was unfriendly to France
but the Empress Eugenie hoped with
hef beauty to influence him so that the
little trouble with France and Ger
many might be smoothed over. She
therefore invited the German prince
and his wife to visit the court of
france, and the Prince and Princess
Bismarck arrived in great state at the
Tuileries.
That evening there was a grand re-
ception, and Eugene received the
guests in gown which made her so
ravishingly lovely that even Prince
Bismarck, German, stoid and in love
with his wife, stood and gazed upon
her with admiration. And Eugene
was not slow to observe the effect of
her beauty upon him. She called him
to her side. and Bismarck came. with
his wife upon his arm.
Now, the Princess Bismarck was tall
and gaunt, and her feet were gener-
Gus. As she walked she showed
great deal of sole
While Bismarck stood talking with
Eugenie an audible litter was heard
along the line of ladies' Bismarck,
who was quick as a flash, followed
the glance Of their eyes and saw them
rest upon the feet of his wife.
That settled the matter The politi-
cal history of France was altered from
that moment
A year later, when Paris was be-
sieged, Bismarck himself fred a can
non over the ramparts, and those who
were near him heard him shout:

cess Bismarck

Liberal Feeding.

At meeting of the patrons OF CO.
operative creamery held few days ago,
one of the patrons, who had been receiv
ing for his cream, taken at the farm, a
monthly check running from a hundred
to hundred and twenty-five dollars,
was complimented for tue large receipts
from his herd of cows. The herd num-
bered fifteen cows, ordinary grade Jer-
seys, such as make up the herds to be
found on ordinary dairy farms where no
expert skill is exercised in selections.
In addition TO the money received for
cream the skim milk was left at the
farm to be used in ways that returned no
inconsiderable value, and also quite a
sum was taken for calves sold-the
whole approximating hundred dollars
a cow for the entire herd. This was a
good record for a full herd where no
special pains had been taken in selec-
ton.
81 can tell you," said the owner of the
herd referred to, II have fed my cows
literally. If we would have cows fur
uish a liberal flow of milk" he went on
to say, "they must be generously fed.
The better they are fed, the greater the
profit from the feed given"
Every intelligent dairyman who has
given studied attention to his herd
knows that the claim thus set forth is
true. 1t is the liberal feeding that
brings the generous returns. A certain
measure of the feed consumed is and
ever must be appropriated in sustaining
the COW.
That much of the feed brings no
direct returns in product or profit. 1t
is the surplus above the required life
sustaining feed that returns the flow OF
milk or gain in growth. The greater
this surplus feed, the larger the income.
If a small measure of grain feed returns
any profit, then the larger the measure
consumed, up to the feeding capacity of
the animal, the greater will be that
profit. This is law of feeding. Many
dairymen realize but small! returns from
the grain purchased and fed to their
cows for the reason they feed so little.
This law of feeding holds good with
all the animals of The farm as it does
with cows. Other things being the
same, that farmer who feeds his stock.
of whatever kind, the best, realizes the
largest profit from the feed consumed.
This is law from which there is no
appeal.-Maine Farmer.
