vain" Fritz as Workman.

'Eitel," which is an old family name
among the Hohenzollerns, means
"vain;" consequently it attracted an
unusual amount of attention when
Prince Eitel Fritz adopted unusual
methods lately to decrease his weight.
1t did not seem to anybody else that
the prince was taking on enough flesh
to prove unbecoming. but it did not ac-
cord with his own idea of a proper
military figure, and he went to his
summer residence near Charlottenburg
and lived the life of an ordinary out of
door laborer. He stayed several weeks
and worked all day at gardening, tree
telling and carpentering. wearing a
workman's clothes. He also helped
in the construction of a new riding
school, The princess became so in
terested in the cure that one day when
she stopped to watch some masons in
the construction of clockwork foun-
tain in connection with the new build
ing she became so interested that she
set to work with hammer and trowel
and worked for nearly an hour.

About Testing Cows.

The tests we want are the ones
made with normal feeding. whether
for one week or one year. writes a
New York dairyman in Kimbalrs Dali
~ Farmer Personally | want both.
A weeks test will show the capacity
Gf the cow, and years test will show
the ability of the man as feeder.
With proper feeding there Is little dam
ger of injuring the offspring. The
first thing l look for when reading a
test is the amount and kind Of feeds
fed; then l can tell whether the cow
Is a paying proposition or not. A cow
that eats a dollars worth of feed to
produce a dollars worth Of butter is
Of little value, even though she pro-
duces twenty pounds of butter per
week. What prospective purchasers
want and are entitled to is what your
cow has done for a year in milk &C
cording to the test. what feeds were
fed and what kind of care was given.
Don't pamper. don't stuff. but don't
he afraid TO feed. There are thou
sands of cows ruined by underfeeding
where one is spoiled by overlooking.

The Brood Sow.

On every farm there is a good deal
of waste from different sources. writes
ID. j. Blyther in kimbalrs Dairy
Warmer. brood sow offers very
profitable market for all this. even to
the weeds from the garden.
1t is a good plan when a sow of
good type proves herself a prolific
breeder and an economical feeder and
kind mother to keep her several years.
A mature sow requires only food for
maintenance, while growing one
needs food for growth. Furthermore,
the older one will have good appetite
for waste that young one would not
care for.
1t is worth considerable to know that
at narrowing time. If you do not hap
pen to be around. your pigs are safe
while with an untried young SOW you
never know what is going to happen
TO the pigs.

HINTS FOR FARMERS
System In Horse Breeding.

Il might be hard TO put ones finger
- the greatest defect in horse breed
ING on the farms of this country. but
perhaps nothing Is doing more to keep
the business back than the lack Of q
definite system on the part OF many
farmers, says the National Stockman
and Farmer. This lack Of system l. re-
sponsible for the great mixing OF types
and breeds, which means inevitably
the production Of naongrels. Every
farmer who raises horses should make
up his mind to follow some system In
hs breeding. 1t does not matter so
much what type or breed of horses he
may select Whatever serves his pur-
pese best on his farm and brings him
4 fair price for the surplus is d good
sgstem. Farm mares. those used Id
farm work. can raise colts cheaper
than any breeder who has to keep a
lot of idle mares can raise them, and
they can be just as good whether they
are of trotting, carriage or draft blood.
The mares won't look so nice, and per-
haps the foals win not develop quite
30 fast. but the economy of their pro-
doction will Offset other disadvan-
tages. The farmer who uses his brood
mares and his colts when. old enough
to do his work can raise good ones IL
he gets the right type and sticks to it,
and he can raise them cheap enough to
make money on them

Eatteninq Fowls.

Buckwheat meal is very good to use
In fattening chickens. but should be
used in preference mixed, half of Its
bulk of other meal. choice being given
to cornmeal or ground oats. To fatten
a fowl you should commence doing so
exactly eighteen days before the fowl
or fowls are needed for killing or for
marketing. as after eighteen days of
fattening they begin TO lose flesh In
stead Of gaining it.-A. Y. Meersch in

Dsbasins American Suffrage

From the New York Times.
Three million Of farmers are about
to initiate the bad example Of some
other large classes of citizens and or
ganize for action in politics accord
ing to their class interests. Nobody
could object to any body OF citizens,
OF whatever numbers. organizing for
the betterment Of their interests in
any laudable manner. The adoption
Of the methods OF the blacklist and
boycott for the attainment of political
ends does not fall within that de-
scription. These farmers propose to
establish a domesday book to be
ready for use in the approaching con.
gressional elections. The object Is to
defeat such members of congress and
other public officers as are deaf to
the demands of agriculturalists for
laws advancing their interests" This
puts politics frankly on basis Of
selfishness instead of patriotism. 1t is
too true that the farmers have distir
guished II not admirable exemplars
for there Is growing remonstrance
against such mercenary motives in po-
litics. Laws are for all. Their appli-
cation should be universal. There can
be no such thing. rightly speaking, as
a "law" to advance any interest ex-
cept the public interest. When farm
ers or unionists or socialists or any
other class Of citizens seek any other
object than the universal good they
debase American citizenship.
