Feed After Milking the Cow.


A great many dairymen before be-
ginning to milk feed each COW. The
mixer hurries to get through because
If the cow finishes her meal before the
milker/has done his work she EFFORTS
more feed by holding back her milk,
so must be fed again to keep her in
good humor. 1t is better plan to do
the milking first and then feed imme-
diately, and cows that are accustomed
to this treatment generally give down
their milk cheerfully, for they know
that milking is prelude to feeding. A
COW is much smarter than she looks
and more grateful than most persons
would believe. So long as the cows
know they are not going to be struck
or beaten they will neither kick nor
hook. An experienced milkman will
never allow any loud talking or ex-
element about his barn or stable, for
| the quieter the cows are kept the
greater the quantity of milk given and
the easier the work is performed
Farm Journal
The Farm Horse In Winter.
| 1t is a mistake to allow the horses
to run out on cold, frosty nights or
during stormy weather, says Farmers
Advocate. II is better to get them
! in the stable, even If they are not fed
much while there, than to leave them
out and let their hair grow long and
4 lie toward the head. AS soon as the
horses are exposed to the cold and
storm the system, by the laws Of
adaptation, begins to fortify itself fol
those conditions and grows hair tc
/ keep them warm. BY being exposed
in cold nights and rainy weather
horses often contract colds that viii
stand by them for long time to come
4 If they are compelled to subsist or
frost bitten grass in the fall and theI
4 poor hay In the winter, after con
tracing a cold they often get the
habit Of being abnormal eaters, get
Indigestion and bring on the condi
4 ton that produces heaves, which great
q ~ diminishes the real value Of Thu
horse. 1t is far better to take a IA
tional view Of the matter and give tn
horses more attention and better care
\ When one gives his horses good care
and keeps them in good condition b
thinks more of them and they are O
much greater value than they can b.
If they are neglected.

j. WILKES BOOTH. the scores. Chief
among the poets were Tennyson, Poe,
Holmes, Fitzgerald and Lord Hough-
ton. OF musicians there were Chopin
and Mendelssohn; of scientists, Oar
win and many lesser lights; of fight
ers, Admiral Dahlgren, Kit Carson,
Marshal Canrobert; of statesmen,
Gladstone, Hannibal Hamlin and Abra-
ham Lincoln.
Lincoln and Darwin, perhaps the
most celebrated of the list, were born
on the same day. One abolished chat
tel slavery, preserved the worlds
greatest republic and set democratic
government long step forward; the
other revolutionized science and wrote
the word evolution" into the Ian
guage and thoughts of men,
Lincoln's fame has grown with ev-
cry hour since his death and is yet
growing. His hold on the hearts of
men comes not alone from his acts.
These but brought him into the public
eye. 1t was the sweetness of his char
| acter, his mercy and simplicity, his
loyalty to truth, his homely common
sense, his literary quality and his per-
feet democracy that have given him
second, If not first, place among the
great men of his own land and won
him the affection of all lands.
The centenary of his birth, on Feb.
-, will be celebrated as has been that
of no other American. On the birth
place farm in Kentucky a memorial
building will be dedicated, speeches
being delivered by President Roose-
welt, Secretary of War Luke 3.
Wright, Supreme Court Justice Oliver
Wendell Holmes, Cardinal Gibbons
and Governors Folk of Missouri and
| Wilson of Kentucky. The address of
| President Roosevelt, while short, win
be, 1t isNbelieved, one of his most am
bilious efforts 1t will constitute prac-
tically his last important utterance as
as nearly in the class with Lincoln's
Gettysburg address as he is able. The
memorial building itself is small and
Of simple but classic design. Sur
rounded by Greek pillars and ap-
preached by broad flights of steps, il
makes striking appearance on the
humble Kentucky farm. 1t complete
ly surrounds and ineloses the little
log cabin in which Lincoln was born
which after its wanderings has Beer
regretted on its original site. At the
foot of the steps are broad sward and
driveway, with flagstaff in the cen
ter Near by is the rock spring which
was famous even in Lincoln's day
All of this, with the remainder Of the
| farm, which will be left much as il
was before, is to be thrown open tx
the public as national park on Feb

Device to Proven. Rust on Cor

DNNtNS 70 = lSFHFt' tNN1aN UT VT sNtS'
A device to cover the metal portions
on the front part of corsets to obviate
rusting and unsightliness has been in
vented by Theodore Wlckersham of
Coatesville, Pa. merchant of that
place. The invention consists of a
small celluloid cover which fits over
the clasps of the corset and slips be-
tween the stay and the fabric. 1t not
only removes the possibility of rust
due to perspiration, which eventually
discolors the fabric, but makes unnec-
essary the nickel plating process to
which the hooks and studs are now
subjected.

SheriG's Deputy Under Arrest.

The Clarion Republican OF last week
says: Last Friday the return of the coro-
ner's jury in the case of the death of
William Clay ypool at the chicken fight the
week previous, arrived here. After see
ing that the legal requirements were
issued process and Sheriff Best al rested
B. +. Matter charging him with the kill
ing of ClaypOol. Matter, through his at
torneys petitioned the court and was
granted hsbeas corpus and released on
s., 900 bail for his appearance at the Feb
rusry term of court, G. w. Amsler and
w. A. Graham going on the bond. Mat
ter will be represented by Msffett and
Rimer, w. A. and w. W. Hindman, j.
s. Shirley and A. A. Gesry. Ten addi-
tional jurymen will be drawn for this
term of court.
In another item the Republican says:
The arrest OF Matter, charged with killing
of Claypool at the chicken fight last week,
means that the matter will be settled in
court. Rumors we're floating all over the
country that he would not be arrested.
OF the 200 sports present one man was
killed. Matter denies this charge. 1t is
now the duty of the 1919 present to come
forward and tell all they know about the
matter so that it can he cleared up. 1t is
due 20 Matter, to the dead man and to
themselves that this killing should be
satisfactorily cleared up.

The Hat and the Title.

There is an amusing English defini-
ton of gentleman 1t is "a man
who wears silk hat and if he has
no other title insists upon having Esq.
added TO his name when letters are
addressed to him"
The west end Londoner of social
pretensions accepts this definition in
practice. Summer and winter, in rain
or shine, he wears Il high silk hat in
the streets of London and carries 1t
into the drawing room when he pays
an afternoon call 1t is only when he
takes train for the provinces or for
the continent that he ventures to use
more comfortable headgear. He also
expects to have the distinction Of "es-
quire' when a letter is addressed to
him and is highly offended if he finds
on the envelope the prefix "Mr." As
a matter of fact, the number of Eng
lish gentlemen who are legally en-
titled to the medieval honor of 'es-
quire" is insignificant. 1t is a self as.
sumed title which. signifies nothing
that is substantial in rank or privilege.
In common use in London esquire"
simply means that the person so ad-
dressed does not choose to be associ-
ated with tradesmen and ordinary
working people and that he is a 'gen.
tleman" who invariably wears a silk
hak

THE anti-saloon leagues local option
bill has been introduced in the leg islature
at Harrisburg, and as presented the bill
makes townships, boroughs and the
wards ol all cities the unit for voting upon
license or no license. 1t provides for an
election upon this subject to be held when
petition shall be filed by one-fourth of
the number of qualified voters in town
ship, borough or ward the said election
not to be held oftener than once in three
years. The measure having been only
introduced little can be said of its merits,
pro or con. When once out of committee,
and until it has passed second reading
there is no telling what shape it may be
in, but it is likely to reach this stage very
much as its friends would desire, and the
real test W i'll come on final passage of the
bill. There is no doubt but that the
measure will be fought out on the floor
1t will not be smothered in committee, as
heretofore.

A Fable.

Once Upon Time there was a
Young Man who met Two Nice Girls,
who We're Constantly Together. Now,
he was an Astute Young Man, and he
desired to say, Something Pretty and
Agreeable to the Ladies, but he knew
that If he paid Compliment to Ono
of them, No Matter which, the Other
would be Hurt
SO he Thought Rapidly for a mo-
ment, and then he said:
"Ah, l know Why you Two Girls are
Always Together
"Why?' asked the Two Girls.
Because Everybody says that A
Handsome Girl Always Chooses a
Homely one as a Companion, So That
Her Beauty may be Enhanced by the
Contrast"
After Such a Remark, either Both
Girls would be Angry with him or De,
lighted
And what Do you think Happened?
The Two Girls Blushed and said he
was A Flatterer and went their way
Together, each Happy for Herself and

Another FaIsehOOd Nailed.

The fact that President Roosevelt never
took the trouble to deny the miserable
canard that while horseback riding on
Thanksgiving Day he resented the ap-
proach OF number of girl students who
were also riding and not only berated
them but struck the horse of one of them
in the face, led some people to believe
that tho incident actually occurred.
So persistent have been the efforts TO
fasten this outrageous lie in the public
mind that the officials at the White House
have at last given out copy of a letter
from the girls mother, addressed to the
President from Los Angles, January q:
"My daughter, Miss May Rhodes,
whose horse it has been widely reported,
you struck while riding in the park last
Thanksgiving Day, most emphatically
denies any knowledge OF such an occur
ence, and as it is deemed of such impor-
lance to be referred to in Congress, may
be permitted to ask you why you do not
deny this story? Very sincerely,
ELIZABETH NJ. RHODES"
No more striking illustration has been
given OF the lengths to which the enemies
of Theodore Roosevelt are willing to &c
in their efforts to disturb public conh'
dence in him, not only as President, but
as man. But in view of the above let
ter from Mrs. Rhodes we should at least
hear no more oftbis miserable falsebood'

WHAT is regarded as a most important
demonstration in behalf of the cross-sta;e
road from Philadelphia to Pittsburg took
place at a convention of delegates repre-
senting every county the proposed high
way is expected to traverse held in AL
toona Friday. Resolutions we're adopted
commencing Governor Stuart's advocacy
of the road, and likewise recommend
ing that, in case it is constructed, il
be called "Stuart's State Highway" and
urging that the several counties OF the
state unite in sending petitions to the
Legislature for good roads legislation Ex.
This has reference to the movement now
on foot to work bill through the legisla-
ture providing for the building of grand
automobile boulevard between these two
cities, at the expense of the State. There
is no estimating the number of millions
that will be required to complete the
scheme, and when finished it will be OF
benefit only to owners of automobiles in
the cities named and the counties throu gh
which the boulevard would pass. 1t is
hoped the legislature will have the good
sense to turn this steal down good and
hard
