Developing Thought-Forces.

There is nothing truer than that

young man whom / had not seen for
several years called on me, and | was
amazed ar the tremendous change in
him. When I had last seen him he
was pessimistic. discouraged, almost
despair.ng; he had soured on life, lost
confidence in human nature and IN
himself. During the interval he had
completely changed. The sullen, Bit

Joy and gladness, He was radiant,

The young man had married cheer

tenor of his thoughts, cheering him
up. and making him put higher esti-

CROWN OF NATIONS CAPITOL.
Statue of Liberty, Too High for Close

Statue of Liberty, Too High for Close
study, Symbolic of the Union.
Armed Liberty" the magnificent
statue that crowns the dome of the
CAPITOL. is by far the most symbolic
OF all the statues in Washington. Beau
tiful and reposeful, yet with an air of
vigilance, it is perhaps the least ap-
preciated of the city's statues, posi-
bly, because of its being placed at such
an altitude that it cannot easily be
studied. The original plans OF the
Capitol called for statue to surmount
the dome, but no title was then given
it, and although more than half GEN.
tury has elapsed since it's erection,
comparatively few people know its real
name
The statue was modelled by Thomas
Crawford, father of rho novelist. the
late F. Marion Crawfrod. IL was cast
at Maryland foundry. Jefferson Da-
Wis was Secretary of War when the
model was first presented at the War
Department. The statue then wore
liberty cap and carried a bundle of
rods. Davis objected to the liberty
cap as being emblematic of enamel
pated slaves. while Americans were
free born. He also thought the bundle
of rods. suggesting the functions OF
the Roman lictor, had lost its symbolic
character. Because of these criticisms
of Secretary Davis the model was
changed and the Armed Lady" was
evolved.
The statue is nine feet six inches
tall and weighs 1885 pounds. 1t was
put in place Dec. 2, 1868. The head
is thrown back and adorned with
eagles beak and plumes. The right
hand rests on sword and the left
holds an olive branch and a shield.
The mantle is gracefully draped and
is held by a brooch bearing u. s."
on its face The helmet Is encirci5d
with stars. The supporting globe bears
the legend, "E PlurIbus Unum-"

Feed for Work Horses.

Farm animals should be fed accord
ing to their needs. Their needs de-
pend. of course. upon the product that
they yield. Work horses are kept for
applying energy, and should be sup
piled with feeds that will furnish the
required energy at the least possible
cost, all things considered.
There is a wide difference in the
efficiency of horses in utilizing feed.
There is an individuality" in the
work horses, as we'll as in other farm
animals. Horses that are notably
hard to keep in good condition should
be replaced by ones that may be main
tanned at less cost
The data presented do not prove
that, for use with pure timothy hay,
pound, as oats Neither is any evil
dence at hand to indicate that grain
ration made up exclusively of corn is
suitable for brood-mares with foal or
in milk or for young growing horses.
When the weights of the horses for
the year previous to the experiment
are compared with the weights secur-
ed during the experiment, 1t is seen
that the exclusive use of either corn
or oats has not had any bad effect
upon the horses. There is not posi-
tive proof, however, that a mixed ra-
ton would not be more efficient than
one made up exclusively of corn or
oats This experiment does show,
nevertheless, that corn is a valuable
feed for work horses and should be
given a large place in their rations,
whenever market conditions warrant
its use.
1t is Obvious that feeds for work
horses should be palatable, efficient
and economical. AS far as palatable-
ness is concerned. corn seems, accord
ing to these experiments, to have a
slight advantage over oats. although
this win depend to a considerable ex-
tent upon the individual appetite.
The results obtained thus far in the
experiment reported that corn is an
efficient feed for work horses. The
bulk of an amount of ear corn equal
in feeding value to the usual amount
Of oats is small-so small that cas-
ual observation might lead one to be-
lieve that too little corn was being
used. As regards economy, ear corn
IS usually cheaper per pound than
oats, while this experiment indicates
that ear corn apd oats are worth APP
proximntely the same per pound for
feeding under the conditions stated
previously.

Why scotsmen Wear kits.

A. j. Drexel brings from his Scottish
estate story of a Highlander

hotel in the Highlands was treated
with the greatest incivility.
Accordingly he complained to the

1t is common to see cows standing

The probabilities are that q good

they get their money for the product,
and the trouble is we haven't inspect
ors with honesty enough or backbone
enough to show up conditions as they
actually exist. We have a few very
good dairymen, men who are straight
forward and who turn out good prod

by the miserable fellows who conduct
their business in such a slovenly man
ner as to bring discredit upon the
whole dairy fraternity.
1t may be little easier 70 use some
old contraption of stable that some
ignorant farmer built twenty or thirty
years ago than 1t is to get at 1t and

Pure Bred COrn Pays.

The Missouri experiment station
sent out lot of sam pies of pure bred
corn to farmers In eighty counties.
This corn was planted III the fields
and tended as was the common corn.
Reports from these farmers showed
that the "pedigrsed" corn brought a
yield of ten bushels per acre more
than the other kinds with which it
was compared This was not up to
the possibilities by any means, but
furnishes abundant food for thought.
Now suppose a case. In Kansas last
year there were 1857 .535 acres plant
ed to corn from which the farmers
harvested 4 total Of 150,640,516 BUSH
els, or an average Of about 81 bushels
per acre. Suppose they had used
pure bred seed with the results as
good as those obtained by the Mis-
souri, farmers. This would have in
creased the average yield to more
than 81 bushels of corn per acre, or a
total yield for the state of more than
225, 900, 900 bushels. The value of the
corn crop thus Increased would have
put nearly s4O.0e0,O0O more cash in
the pockets of our farmers than they
did get and woald have raised abe
average yield to she verge of respect
ability.
Now let us suppose that this extra
5000, 900 which the farmers would
have had If the- had planted pure
seed corn were invested at per cent
interest The annual returns would
endow the Agricultural College and
Experiment Station with a greater
fund than they have ever had, but
only with what they are entitled to
and should have.--Kansas Farmer

Jap Government Hard Up.

so per cent will be taken from the
army budget and 10 per cent from that
of the navy.
The postponement of the interna-
tional exposition, Premier Katsura
says, is not purely due to financial
reasons, but il Is owing to the fact
that the work of preparation has been
insufficient. AS the necessary appro-
priation will be inconsistent with the
economical plans of the cabinet for the
next five years it is wiser for the gov

in making a complete success of the
