Vanishing Point Of the American

In 1870 the per cent Of all mar
riages terminated by divorce was 3.5;
In 1880, 49, per cent; In 1886, SO per

approximately 10 per cent. Of all mar

Of Cornell, has calculated that, should
the present rate of increase Of divorce
In the United States continue, by 1860
one-fourth Of all marriages will be ter

The nrst and most important thing
for farmer to do who expects to sue
coed with cows h to be always on his
Job. and the next point ID not to be
afraid 10 feed literally. Half the
farmers know starve their cows.
In January. 1905. began to keep &C.
curats accounts Of the milk, cream
and butter sold from my herd Of seven
Jerseys. These COWS wore at that
time housed during winter in 4 build
ing twelve fest wide, each COW having
q large stall with loose box In which
to feed grain. soon found my cows
wasted too much feed.
During that year sold &516 worth
Of dairy produce. m average ct $73
each. Late In the year / pulled down
my old stables and built a new one
with concrets f1oor and cutters. good
stanchions and tight manager for
each COW. At the end Of the stable
built two rooms, one for the separator
and the other for feed, with cellnT un-
der both for storage Of roots.
In the beginning Of 1905 i began. 10
take better care Of my cows In this
new stable and gave better rations.
During the winter months fed each
cow six or eight quarts Of mixed feed
per day, consisting Of one part each OF
cornmeal, bran and gluten feed. l
gave each COW one peck per day OF
pumpkins. That year my sales amount
ed to $721. or an average Of sos per
COW.
For the past year have been feed
ing mixed feed that is very rich in
protein, containing about "a per cent.
l have used from three to ten pounds
per day during winter and summer;
have also fed beets and pumpkins with
all the clover hay and corn slower that
the cows would clean up. In early
summer l feed green oats and peas
then cut clover, and later on l gave
sweet corn fodder. which l had sown
In rotation until frost came.
During 1907 l sold $946 worth OF
milk, cream and butter. or $135 pei

and winter at the creamery and re-

WORK THE BULL
Head Of the Herd Must Have Exercise

Exercise the bull must have, for un-
less he is properly exercised he will
not be thrifty and have vigorous con-
stitution. This question Is serious
one. and the picture of Sir Jacob Poesh
at work shows how a bull may be
made to exercise and also be of great
assistance to his owner. He pumps all

Let every farmer tuberculin test his
herd, then thoroughly disinfect bis
stalls and yards. using lime whitewash
plentifully; then never take an animal
into the herd that has not clean bill

It clean. Then use farm separator

among them Capt. "Jim" Murphy, at
present in the William P. Frye. Some
years ago Capt. Murphy was approach
ing San Francisco in the Shenandoah.
He had not seen land since his depart
ure from New York more than three
months before, and he had not seen
anything for two weeks on account of
a dense fog. BY dead reckoning he
made out that he had reached a lati-
tude $3.50, the Golden Gate being 10
minutes further north, and he began to
stand i'll until he could hear the surf
and then out again until he got a good
ofiing. While he was thus awaiting
clear weather, one of the big liners di-
rect from Honolulu hove out of the fog.
She was less than a week out and
ought to have her position pretty ac-
curately. Capt. Murphy hailed and in
quircd. The liner reported her lati-
tude as S7.4c Capt Jim's reckoning
made it 37.30) and when the steamer
vanished she was steering straight
into the east, confident of her own fig
ures. That night the liner was on the
rocks and the next day reported that
ashore as she too was standing in when
last seen. But the Shenandoah wasn't.
Capt. Jim had gone over his figures
again and could find no error and when
the sun appeared a day or two after
wards they were proved absolutely ac-

form a very narrow U, in which was
placed the requisite amount of alcohol.
One arm of the U was shorter than the
other and open at the top. On the Ii

PUTTING the Curb On.

The passengers in an accommodation
train which was winding its way
through New Hampshire were inter-
ested and amused by an elderly cou-
pie who sat in the middle of the car.
They talked as if there were no one
else in the car; therefore, having
heard most of their private plans, no
one was surprised to have the old man
take the assembled company fully into
his confidence At one station he rose,
and addressed the passengers in gen.
eral.
"Can anybody change five-dollar
bill for two twos and a one, or five
ones?" he inquired.
II cam" said a brisk woman, and the
transfer was quickly made.
"Now. could anybody change this
one-dollar bill for four quarters or
tens and fives?" asked the old man.
"I can give you two fifties,' said a
man from the rear seat, unless some
body else can do better"
1t appeared that nobody could, or at
least nobody offered; so as the train
started, the old man lurched down the
car to the possessor of the two fifty
cent pieces.
THANK ye" he said, as he took the
money I'm obliged, though I'd have
liked the quarters best. You see, Mar
thy has set her mind to stop off at
Nashuy whilst I go on up to my bro
Tiers with the eggs and truck. And
though she don't plan or mean to be
spendthrifty woman, when she's let
loose amongst lot of stores, she'll
run through fifty cents in an hour
easy and I kind of have to put curb
on her."-Youth's Companion.

The Racing Chauffeur.

The life of chauffeur who drives for
glory is a strenuous one. When he is
not trying TO clip a second Off his own
or a rivals record on the track or
lodging 'copS" on endurance runs or
speed tests, he is rushing to and from
| between factory and salesroom, trying
the high-powered new machines, turn
ing up old races or building something
new in bubble wagons, for most of
the noted whirlwind drivers are just
plain, ordinary demonstrators, or test
ers, when they are not out for records.
A few of our older ones are automobile
engineers, but the young fellows are
mostly all looking forward to the day
when they will build gasolene engines
as well as run and repair them. The
most ambitious ones are saving their
money for a course in mechanical en-
gineering, but as many of the cash
prizes offered in the different events
fail to matcrilize this is slow work
for most of them. The cups and
| other trophies won go to the firm, but
the drivers get the medals and
some of them have quite a string
of these gold and silver souvenirs.
There is considerable misconception
AS 20 me amounts pdlQ 10 drivers.
based on a few instances where they
have received special pay for special
| races. The general public has a mista
ken idea that a popular driver coins
gold in every speed contest and has
nothing to do between times but ride
| around in a fast car and enjoy himself,
but his earnings, in fact, are not those
of famous jockey. Some good drivers
receive as high as SO a week, but the
average men who drive racing cars in
America today are factory men on reg
ular salaries, which, in a majority of
cases, 90 not exceed from $35 to SIS a
| week. For the important races they
may sometimes get a little extra pay,
| and, of course, they receive their tray
cling expenses, just as any other em-
ploye Of the company, does. There is
such a tremendous desire among auto
mobile operators all over the country to
have en- opportunity to win fame and
glory in great racing events that there
are hundred of applicants for the driv-
er's seat of every racing car, and many
OF the crack operators will drive for
almost nothing for the chance to get
| before the public. This has brought the
prices of drivers down with rush.

use Of Chinese coal would represent q
considerable economy in cost to. the
navy, as German and British coal is
very dear, owing to the cost of trans
port to the Far East. The Hungchan
(Chinese) coal is reported to be of good
quality, and is apparently suitable as
