The RoseveIt Iden.

A writer in the London Times say.
that Theodore Roosevelt is the hero of

many youths and young men as an
inspiration and as civic model IA
Mr.. Roosevelt. He has a genius for
inspiring people to higher ideals, to
cleaner methods His life story Is one
OF the greatest sermons that has been
preached on the American ccatinent since
Lincoln was assassinated- Mr.. Roose-
welt started out with the stern resolve
that, let come what would, whether he
succeeded or failed, whether he made
friends or enemies, he would keep his
record clean; he would not take
chances with his good name, he would
part with everything else first; he
would never gamble with his reputa-
ton. He has had numerous opportuni-
ties to make a great deal OF money dur
Ing his public career, through graft and
all sorts Of dishonorable schemes, by
allying himself with crooked, unscrupu-
lous politicians, but even his worst enc
mics can never cay Of him that he took
from Albany or the White House a
dishonest dollar. He has always re-
fused to be party to any political
jobbery, any underhand business. He
has always fought in the open. has
kept the door Of his heart wide open

The installation of manure carriers

ESKIMO SUPERIORITY.

Vilhjalmar Stefansson, In writing OF

Of this great kindness to guest who

whose purpose among them they did
not know.
In an Eskimo home l have never
heard an unpleasant word between a
man and his wife, never seen a child
punished nor an old person treated In

are carried on in an orderly way, and
the good behavior of the children is re-
marked by practically every traveller.

Feeding of Eggs.

Hens will not refuse to lay provid-
ing the conditions which surround them
are favorable for egg production. OF
course, hen cannot keep on laying all
the time, nor will some hens lay even
for a majority of the time, but the
farmer who provides the correct condi-
lions of housing, feeding and general
management will find that he will not
be entirely without eggs at any time of
the year. OF course, it is not the hens
nature to lay at this time of the year,
but If she is comfortably housed and
well fed, the farmer will find that the
hen after all really has little sentl-
ment as to just which season she shall
produce her eggs.
Getting eggs is not entirely matter
Of feeding, yet If we feed correctly the
hens viii not have that as an actual
obstacle to laying. Maturity and vigor
are two important things in the hens
that are to be heavy winter layers.
Keep the hens In a thrifty, vigorous
condition. and be sure and feed a va
riety. These things count for a great
deal toward success. Corn. oats and
wheat are the three principal grain
feeds, but there are others that may
well be fed by way of variety and
the meat and green stuff In some form
should never be neglected. Give any
kind of meat scraps or prepared meat
foods, as it pays. Try to keep the hens
under conditions as near like those in
existence at. spring time as you can,
and you will not suffer Severely from
an egg famine. This is nothing impos-
sible, and briefly, only means comfort
able housing, variety Of feeds, green
stuff and meat scraps, and sanitary
quarters-Agricultu Epitomist.

bAFn LOT
The farmer who can so adjust his
work that he may dispense with the
help of one man Is lucky indeed, but
many farmer has done so by sim
ply changing his system of feeding and
caring for the stock; also by so dis
posing of the grain and hay that In
stead of hauling many tons of 1t to
market 1t is fed on the farm, and the
beef, pork, butter, cheese, ETC., sold.
This allows the farmer to restore to
the ground at least part Of the fer
tility In the shape of manure.
The barn plan shown herewith In
the two illustrations. the ground plan
and the perspective view, is 30 ar
ranged that one man may feed and
care for the stock in short time. AS
shown on the floor plan, the barn will
accommodate fourteen cows, twelve

Prof. D. w. Morehouse. Of Drake Uni

Two weeks after, on June IL, there
will be a partial eclipse of the sun. The
total eclipse will be visable only over

four tenths of the sun will be shadow
