Another Paris Boy that is Making
Good.

Richard T. Fox, son of w. P. Fox.
formerly of Paris and Stony Point
neighborhooG, is now general manager
of the Citizens Street Cleaning Bu-
reau, OF Chicago, His, one of his
assistants being Mr.. James Ipgels. son
OF w. II. Ingeis, of this city. In Mr..
t,oX's annual report he gives some
startling facts in connection with the
dangers that Turk in the gerr-laden
dust that flies through Chicag0's
streets.
With every twenty breaths," he
says, lone will take into his body all
the way from eleven to $40 living
germs, together with Variable
amount of inorganic dust.
Some time ago DR.. Cornell, of Ber-
lin, made some experiments to deter
mine the extent of the dangers of
tuberculosis through dust contamination.
Three hundred and ninety-two guinea
pigs were employed in the test. Of
these siXty-nine developed tuberculO-
sis, 1876 died from other diseases, such
as dyphtheria, erysipelas etc., and 1877
remained healthy.
ut is estimated that $780, 100 per-
sons die annually IN the United States
from tuberculosis, and that is only one
OF the many diseases spread by dust.
1.-The total elimination of the dust is,
Of course. impossible. Cleaning and
sweeping increases the flight Of germs
about seventy times.
1.-The most effective means of clean
ing is to maintain hand patrol for
the removal Of the heavier material,
and with a hose machine flush with
sufficient water the dust or mud into
the cutters, from where it can be re
moved. -

Sheep and Wool.

T.. D. King, in a recent address be-
fore the Kansas Association OF I'm
proved Breeders. made this compari-
son in behalf Of sheep and wool pro-
fits a. compared with cows. He said:
"One hundred good grade ewes
will cost about the same as ten good
grade COWS, will eat about the same
the year through. and at the same
per cent. OF increase will return
eighty lambs, worth 81 each. and
1000 pounds of wool, worth S175, as
against eight calves. worth $40 each,
and 1000 pounds of butter, worth
5000. Quite a difference in favor of
the sheep, and they will run in the
pasture caring for themselves, and
any of you who have MIXED ten cows
through the year and handled the
calves. as you must TO get the butter
returns. know that there is a great
deal OF labor attached to that work.
II the farmer does not have the
alfalfa or clover TO 60 with his corn,
the sheep will thrive admirably upon
prairie hay, wheat or flax straw, corn
fodder, or sorgup or kafir corn. but
As these are all highly carbonaceous,
he should feed some bran or oats or
oil meal with the corn to balance the
ration. In 1901 my flock was con-
fined entirely to corn fodder and a
half bushel per 100 head daily Of a
ration composed Of wheat and cotton
seed meal in equal parts, and did
fine.
II fattened some old ewes for mar
ket upon cottonseed meal and very
light feed OF poor shock corn. Some
OF the professors whom We consulted
said: Don't feed any cottonseed
m.al to pregnant ewes But some
twenty head ran with the fattening
flock up to lambing and did we'll and
raised good lambs.

Our Two Natures.

There are two natures in man that
are as distant as day and night. With
the old Adam within US If we do not
keep him down in the place of death
he brings us into captivity.
1t takes us about all our lifetime
to find out who and what we are, and
when we think we know something
happens to make us think we are
farther away than when we started.
The heart is deceitful above all
things.
In the sixth chapter of Romans 1t
is written: Knowing this, that our
old man is crucified with Him, that
the body of sin might be destroyed,
that henceforth we should not serve
sin. For he that is dead Is freed
from sim" And in the eleventh verse
there are just three words to be es-
pecially considered: Reckon your
selves dead" If we were really dead
we would not have to reckon our
selves dead. Judicially we are dead.
but in reality we are still fighting the
world, the flesh and the devil. Some
people seem to think they have got
away from the flesh. and that they
are soaring away in sort OF seventh
heaven, but they getba again soon
er or later. You cannot make the
flesh anything but flesh. 1t will be
flesh all the timed. l.. Moody.

Neglected Agriculture.

There are two branches of agri-
culture which pay larger than any
others for the investments in them in
the Central Western States, that are
the most neglected. We refer to the
dairy and poultry industries. 1t is
true that in way they are both pur-
sued on the farm, but back in the
years when butter sold for six and
seven cents a pound chickens $1.OO
a dozen, and eggs at five and six
cents 'er dozen, the men on the farm
Taboo hem, and thought these in
dustries were too trihing, and they
have never gotten over 1t. It is
good illustration of the force of early
habits, for 1t sticks to most farmers
yet, though dairying and poultry de-
mands and prices have quadrupled in
price in many respects. The ancient
cows which made but two or three
pounds of butter a week, and the
dung-hill chicks that were in the
same scant class, probably had some
thing to do with forming this habit;
but now that we have passed these
w. 1911 II Nlhit " ldht nOlltt
more generally and to give the most
profitable industries of the farm
greater and more methodlc attention?
1t Is also to be said of the dairy in
dustry that it is one of the greatest
factors in keeping up soil fertility.
Experience has shown that where
dairying is followed as a leading fea-
ture of the farm, that the average
yield of corn and other crops are de-
cidedly increasing. Corn and corn
silage are leading features in the in
dustry, as by this method, the greater
productions of the farm are returned
to the soil to enrich it. Rotating
corn and clover, both of which are
required in dairying, insures the nit.
rogen and humus so essential, I'm the
soil. Glover, or alfalfa where it can
be grown, along with corn and corn
silage make a good ration for COWS,
and make good rotations. With
these farm crops but little bran and
cottonseed meal are needed in dairy
feeding to make a balanced ration.

fed, the farmer will find that the
hen after all really has little senti-
ment as to just which season she
shall produce her eggs.
Getting eggs is not entirely mat
ter of feeding, yet If we feed correct
ly the hens will not have that as an
actual obstacle to laying. Maturity
and vigor are two important things
in the hens that are to be heavy win
ter layers. Keep the hens in a thrifty,
vigorous condition, and be sure and
feed a variety. These things count
for 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 stun
in some form should never be ne
elected. Give any kind of meat
scraps or prepared meat foods, as it
pays. Try to keep the hen under
conditions as near like those in ex-
istence 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 COM
Portable housing, variety of feeds,
green stuff and meat scraps, and san
itary quarters.-Epitomist.

A Sign of Greatness.

The highest greatness is that which
Is unconscious OF itself. The very
forth-putting of an effort to be great
in any direction indicates that we
lack that greatness. How true this
is In art, for example, every one who
has had an artist among his friends
can tell. The greatest achievements
made by the sculptor or painter have
been those in which they have been
least conscious of their greatness.
So, too, in the Christian life, which Is
the grandest of all arts, we have not
yet attained so long as we are con.
scious of exertion. II / make an ef.

FRUIT GROWERS FLOCK

Climate and Soil Found TO Be

and Lemons.

Remarkable development in the
raising OF citrus fruits, especially
oranges and lemons, is going on in
the portion of Southwest Texas
around San Antonio and as far south
as the Rio Grande Valley and the
Gulf. F. c. Hutchinson. of Ventura
County, California, established one of
the largest orchards near Deeyille
about year and half ago, and he
tornia fruit growers are migrating
into this part of Texas. that orange
groves, lemon groves and vineyards
are going on in every direction.
Southwest Texas is 1900 miles
:loser to the markets than Califor-
nia." says Mr.. Hutchinson, 'and the

clay subsoil which is found in a num-
ber of localities is ideally adapted to
orange and lemon culture. 1t pro-
1uces in greater quantities than the
California soil. One tree in our
-neighborhood this year by actual
count produced $3.50 oranges, an
other one produced more than four
thousand. So far our orchards are

have been local, but in two or three

Get Away With God Alone.

Man is no better than a leaf driv-
en- by the wind until he has conquered
his lonely duties. This makes a man
the habit of confronting great
things in solitude, and chiefly the
habit of conversing with God alone,
and of filling the soul with His
strength. For, remember. the man
who is a stranger to these habits of
solitude is neither his own master
nor the possessor of his own house.
He owns a great house. and an eter-
nal house, but 1t is shut up and
locked, and he lives outside, until in
his solitude he join God unto him

The Higher and Lower Criticism.


There came wise men from the
East to Jerusalem, saying, Where is
He that is born King of the Jews?
Fer we have seen His star.
GHerod] demanded of them where
Christ should be born." (Matt. 2:1,
2 and A..
Here are two inquiries of very
much the same nature, so far as
words are concerned. The wise men
and Herod both ask about the child
Jesus, and ask in nearly identical
terms. What is the difference? 1t
lies in the motive. The wise men in
quire that they may bring their gold;
Herod inquiries that he may kill.
There is reverent, and there is
an irreyerent, spirit of inquiry. There
is criticism which comes from love.
and criticism which comes from
lovelessness. There are two reasons
why l may wish to study difficulty;
i may want to clear 1t away, or may
want to deepen it. The wise men
were the one; Herod was the other
1t is not the subject of inquiry that
makes 1t either good or bad, 1t is the
spirit in which 1t is done.< Why do
you pole over blot ON the manu-
script? Is 1t because you want to
take 1t out, or is 1t because you hope
it will spoil the writing?
There are things which "the angels
desire to look into;" there may be
students among the angels In all
worlds. But II desire to look into a
thing that l may find 1t dark. II l
wish to investigate on the chance
