Confucius.

Confucius regarded his own life as
failure. He spoke against ambition.
yet he coveted high office. nothing
less than that of political adviser to
some great ruler. A man of the high
est lineage in China, he was vet poor.
and early supported himself by teach
ing. His pupils showed him an ex-
traordinary devotion. The pick Of
the young men in his native State of
Lu sat at his feet. and it was they
who transmitted his tremendous in
huence. But Confucius saw not his
immortal success but his temporal
failure. Only a few brief years did
circumstances permit him to exercise
his practical genius for government.
He became first a magistrate. then
chief criminal judge in Lu, and. to
quote Professor Legge, crime
ceased, Confucius. however. became
dissatisfied with the ruler whom he
served. weak man who neglected his
duty and gave himself up more and
more to dissipation. So he resigned
his post and banished himself.-Lon.
don Spectator.

Character and Power.

Nothing discloses real character
like the use of power. 1t is easy for
the weak tc be gentle. Most people
can bear adversely. But if you wish
to know what a man really is, give
him power. This is the supreme test.
1t is the glory of Lincoln that, having
almost absolute power, he never
abused it, except upon the side of
mercy. Wealth could not purchase,
power could not awe this divine, this
Loving man. He knew no fear except
the fear of doing wrong. Hating slav-
cry, pitying the master-seeking to
conquer, not persons, but prejudices
he was the embodiment of the self
denial, the courage, the hope and the
NOBILITY of nation. He spoke not to
infiame, not to upbraid, but to con-
vince. He raised his hands, not to
strike, but in benediction. He longed
to pardon. He loved to see the pearls
of joy on the cheeks of wife whose
husband he had rescued from death.
Lincoln was the grandest figure of
the Civil War. He is the gentlest
memory of our world.-R. G.. Inger-

Farm Notes.

A we'll fowl needs no medicine.
Don't doctor and dope unnecessarily.
The breeder is bigger factor than
the breed in modern poultry culture.
The very best stock will not be long
in degenerating If not properly fed
and cared for.
Sweet apples that are not salable
are greatly relished and an excellent
feed for the fowls.
Scald out the drinking vessels
every few weeks; it kills germs and
prevents diseases from starting.
The poultry house is more con-
venient. more easily cleaned and more
easily kept cleaned if everything in it
is readily movable.
Regularity in feeding and other
general management is important
with poultry. and especially don't for
set to be regular in cleaning up.
The best medicine for any animal
or fowl is preventiye; hence their
food and general surroundings should
be such as to promote health.
1t is disputed as TO whether to feed
soft food in the morning or evening,
but the general tendency now seems
to favor morning feeding of mashes.
One of the best feeds for poultry
is green bone. II stimulates health
and gs-production. and can be se-
cured cheaply At any meat market.
Don't neglect it!
II your chicken house roof leaks,
fix it or get out of the poultry busi-
ness. Chickens are as well on out
doors as in s house that permits
drafts and dampness.
4 few tobacco leaves crushed in
the bottom of each nest will be a
sreat help in eXterminating vermin

the hens which visit the nest.

droppings TO lie in the house week in

Poultry Success.

the barn yards were not in it. In our
hoyhood days this barn yard tribe
furnished eggs in profusion. When
we saw those royal birds we thought
they offered royal road to success.
but our idea of royalty then differs
from what it is now. Experience
with those royal birds showed that
royal birds. like royal people. are

anything ever tried.
What is necessary for success?
Three things are most essential:
Right kind of hens.
Right kind of shelter.
Right kind of food.
These three given by the right kind
of man or woman insure success, es-
pecially when in charge of the wo-
man.
Right kind of hens are first: Early

year olds. after moulting.
Best kind of shelter does not mean
costly houses. Rooms should be
warm, light, dry and roomy, and well
protected from all draughts of cold
winds.
Best kinds of feeds are a variation

Pcdigrccd Stock Trade i.

II you expect TO sell hogs at fancy
prices you must produce fancy hogs.
Too many breeders are content with
a fancy pedigree. expecting the blood
lines Of the animal to carry it into
popularity.
While It is very essential that an
animal have desirable pedigree. it is
all the more essential that the animal
itself possess individual merit.
As soon as breeders of pedigreed
hogs come to full understanding
that the animal produced must pos
sess greater merit in connection with
the pedigree then the people will
readily pay good price for il, regard
less of whether or not public demand
is strong for such administrators

Feeding Lambs.

One of the most inviting and p-o1t-
able of the animal industries now IS
the feeding of lambs for the city mar
kets. A few feeders are undertaking
this line of feeding with great sue
cess. No other young animal makes
so large and profitable a growth as
the lamb, no other young animal be-
gins to feed proftably so early as the
lamb does. Lambs are very little
trouble TO feed: all they need is
rail or board pen open at the bottom
sufficiently for them to crawl under:
set this pen in the pasture. They
should be fed meal in q V-shaped
trough. The ewes cannot enter but
will try to and thus encourage the
lambs TO so in; they will soon learn
to eat. and the appetite will increase
rapidly with their growth. As newly
weaned lambs as a general thing
bring the highest price in the market.
this method Of disposing of the lambs
is TO be encouraged. A Reader, in

Owing to its abundance straw is
added TO barnyard manure, but it can
be made more serviceable if made fine
with the feed cutter before being

being mixed with manure, yet in
fine condition it is much better alb
sorbent and can be forked into the

saving of labor when handling that
which is fine. and the manure will be
