EN- years ago it was found that it was possible to cross the
COW with the native American buffalo. In fact, the cross was
made, and the herds have been developed until at present there
are more than 300 head in the United States. Buffalo Jones
of Arizona has a thriving herd, and another of even greater
numbers is that on the Goodale ranch in the panhandle OF

Science in the poultry yard Is all

It's annoying. perhaps, Just about
supper time, to have to stop to wash
dirty eggs when the hen breaks one,
but this Is task that must not be
put off until tomorrow.
Give charcoal to your fowls. It

good form as there is. Feed 1t
freely. No harm can come from it.
You can not feed hens that lay
colored eggs 80 that they will lay
white ones. If you want white eggs
get the kind of hens that lay them.
Deal pretty sparingly with red pep.

unaatter,no Truth.

A Chicago physician gleefully tells
a child story at his own expense. The
five children Of some faithful patients
had measles, and during their rather
long stay in the improvised home hos
pital they never failed to greet his
daily visit with pleased acclamation.
The good doctor felt duly flattered.
but rashly pressed the children, in the
days of convalescense, for the reason
of this sudden affection. At last the
youngest and most indiscreet let slip
the better truth.
I'VE felt so sick that we wanted
awfully to do something naughty, but
we were afraid to be bad for fear you

Controlled Newspapers.

The Atchison Globe says that no ad.
vertiser has ever tried to control its ed
ltorial policy, the remark being occa-
stoned by the charge often made nova
days. that the big advertisers direct
the editorial policy Of newspapers.
The experience of the Globe is the
experience Of most newspapers. The
merchant who does a great deal of ad-
vertising is more interested in the cir
culatton department of newspaper
than in the editorial department. II a
daily paper goes to the homes of the
people, and is read by them, he Is satis-
hed, and 1t may chase after any theory
Or fad, for all he cares. He has troubles
Of his own, and he isn't trying to shoul-
der those Of the editorial brethren.
There are newspapers controlled by
people outside of the editorial rooms,
and good many of them, more's the
pity; but the people exercising that
control are not the business men who
pay their money for advertising space.
The newspapers which are established
for political purposes are often con-
trolled by chronic offlceseekers, whose
first concern Is their own interests.
There are newspapers controlled by
great corporations, and the voice Of
such newspapers is always raised in
protest against any genuine reform.
The average western newspaper usu.
ally is controlled by its owner, and he
Is supposed to be in duty bound to make
all sorts of sacrifices at all sorts Of
times; there are people who consider
1t his duty to insult his advertisers,
Just to show that he is free and inde-
pendent. If he shows decent respect
for his patrons. who pay him their
money, and make 1t possible for him to
carry on the business, he is "subsi.
died" or controlled" The newspaper
owner is business man, like the dry
goods man or the grocer. The mer.
chants are expected to have considera-
ton for their customers. and they are
not supposed to be subsidized by the
man who spends five dollars with
them. but the publisher is expected to
demonstrate his courage by showing
that he is ungrateful for the patron
age of his friends. It is funny com
bination when you think it over

Al Amazing People,

It is extraordinary how few Jews
there really are In England, consider
ing their great influence and insist
ence, says London Opinion. Mr.. Her
bert Samuel is the one Jewish mem
ber of the ministry. There are only
four Jewish privy councillors, and only
four Jewish peers. Eight Jews sit on
the London county council: between
twenty and thirty are members OF the
house of commons. British journalism
has many Jews among its members,
and American journalism more. The
newspapers in Paris are largely infiu-
enced by Jews; in Berlin their infiu-
ence is greater still, and in Vienna 1t
is predominant. Finance is entirely
controlled by Jews. and hence 1t may
be said that wars are in their hands,

is in part demonstrated by Alexah-

sister, the dowager empress of Rus
sia. Here, 1t is said, she will retire,
in companionship with her sister.
Edward and Alexandra were mar

teen. In all the years since then,
during which she has had to pass
through the ordeal of getting &C.
quainted with the English people. and
has had to maintain tremendously
difficult social role as princess and
queen, not one single social blunder
has been charged against her.
She has shown herself to be "a
woman Of singularly blameless life.
loving and lovable," as one chronicler
puts 1t. You cannot review her life
without getting the impression that
generally prevails about her in Eng
land, that she is woman of superla-
tive goodness Of character. And not
without keen intelligence, or she
could never have picked her steps so
carefully as neither to give offense
nor seem to be offended.
