JERSEY CITY, N. J.-Using his belt
y as a "pants duster," Police Ser
geant Wolfe brought an inglorious fin
ish to a glorious idea Of liberty, short
er hours and an immediate transfer to
a fine new school house. The strike
leaders were boasting that not a pupil
would return to the classrooms in the
old school house. THERE principal
grievance was that other pupils
were being transferred to the new
building and they feared their places
would be taken. Hence the strike
was called. =
Just to make sure there would be
no trouble Sergeant Wolfe was sent
to the school house. All was quiet.
The girls were coming in sedately and
the primary boys were sneaking up
the stairs with scared faces. Out in
front stood the big, grim Sergeant
Wolfe, father of six well-behaved boys.
with his weather eye open for trou-
BILE.
Presently half a dozen boys came
along, stopped on the corner and be-
gan talking excitedly. Sergeant Wolfe
frowned and walked over to them.
Teachers waitin'. Beat it," said
Wolfe.

IN several of the departments Of the

the treasury, in particular, they excel

story in point: Not long ago, United

in Cuba. The fire had destroyed, or

It is estimated that the window bal

a worthy second to Paris as an open

the Parisians In their love of the open

the streets of Paris and people sip

and Overcoats are needed to protect

better still, a close row of evergreen

giving out genial heat as an art1-
fetal sun, thus making an outdoor
summer in winter for these lovers Of
the open. Open-air concerts and
fetes are provided in tho adjacent
country and forests as long as tho
season allows, and every day in the
city, the gardens and boulevards are
alive with this out-of-door PEOPLE. No
city, perhaps, contains more human
beings and their domicils to the
square rod than Paris-the system Of
flats makes it so-On the average
streets there being family fiat fer
five persons, every two feet by mean-
ure, as you walk. And possibly that
very fact makes the people more III

EDINBURGH has been called the
modern Athens and Is in many
ways one OF the worlds most
beautiful cities. History and

ways one of the worlds most
beautiful cities. History and
legend unite to make Edin-
burgh fascinating to the traveller.
With it's towering eminences Of Cotton
Hill and Castle Rock, with its pictur.
esque old town and it's beautiful new
town, 1t forms an impressive sight.
It's location is most picturesque: It Is
situated In the north part OF Mid
lothian, nearly two miles from the
Firth Of Forth. A large open valley
separates the new and old towns.
Few who have not visited Scotland
realize how beautiful as its capital. nor
how filed with interest it is. New
Edinburgh is modern in every respect.
Its charmingly laid-e It streets. its love-
~ parks. its elegant buildings speak
Of prosperity. The new town has
three principal streets-Prince, St.
George and Queen. Prince is called
by some the most beautiful business
street in the world. Right In the midst
pr the business district are Princes
and Queens gardens, noted the world
over. The stores and buildings. the
churches and monuments. the gal.
leries and museums all attract the Wis
ltor's attention. While at the lower
end Of the new part Carlton Hill, sur.
mounted by its Parthenon-nke monu'
ment, towers lofty eminence Of i'm
pressive aspect. In broad Princes
street stands the great monument to
Scott. On st. Georges street are
statues Of many Of Scotland's great
men.
The beauties of new Edinburgh are
such that one might cover pages IL
telling Of them. And yet, though the
New Town, with its modern buildings
its gardens and parks, may hold the
visitor and invite the weary traveller

Parsons and Squires in Wedding War

The pastors divided fees and got the

Finding that without the runners
business was at standstill, the
squires met and sent a committee to
the pastors, stating that If the pastors
did not stop dividing fees with runners
each magistrate would again employ
runners and take the trade from the
clergymen. The pastors refused to
heed the request and Immediately the
magistrates employed two runners

ECONOMICAL FEEDING
OF DAIRY CATTLE
Ration 10 Be Fed Depends
Largely on Milk Production.

To make the dairy profitable with
feedsiuns at present prices. the herd
has TO be one In which every animal
shows good milk test and responds
automatically. 50 10 speak. TO good
feeding. The farmer can determine
their qualifications as milk producers
by use Of the scales and BabcOck test.
When II comes to feed he should do
some careful figuring on what to feed
and how much. Nature has provided
that the COW supply herself first and
the milk bucket second. True. some
high bred dairy animals will keep up
their milk flow for time by depicting
their own bodies. but that means Sc
rious injury to them. Experiments
show that normally about GO per cent
Of the food which a COW can eat goes
for the maintenance Of the body. The
other 40 per cent finds its way into
the milk pail. The COW is, therefore,
entitled to all she can eat and digest
properly.
To feed her economically, no dairy
man can say feed each COW so many
pounds of grain and 80 many pounds
Of roughage. The amount Of each feed
depends largely upon the flow OF milk
A COW giving a large flow Of milk re-
quires more feed than one giving less
Here is where good judgment is above
par. Otter the COW owner has more
grain than roughage or he may be
short on grain and long on roughage
He viii need to make a close study
Of the balanced ration to put profit In
the pail
Sometimes we get the idea that the
more COW eats the more milk she
will give. II she assimilates all she
eats that Is a fact, but there is such
a thing as OVERRIDING the matter, so
that the excess Of feed will be an ac-
tual hindrance to the production Of
milk. What we want to do Is to feed
the cow all she will turn to advantage
and no more. Clean managers will
tell the story as a rule. Anything left
over is a pretty good sign that we are
feeding too much of some things

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
BestlnQ the Hog Lice.

Up TO this year my young pigs have
been badly troubled with hog Ice,
writes 4. Legg In Farm and Fire
side. Although | killed the ice on the
old hogs repeatedly with kerosene, In
a few weeks there would be lice again
on them sufficient to iufest the young
pigs. The trouble was that while the
Kerosene would kin every louise It
touched. there were sure to be some
niis left to hatch out or else few lice
escaped and the oil was soon gone.
Last spring l separated my sows into
pens few days before they were due
to farrow and covered their backs with
a mixture Of kerosene and hog lard.
The lard stayed on for several days.
When the oil was about all gone from
their backs applied 1t again. Not
louise was TO be found on either the
sows or their pigs until the pigs were
wcaned. nor have there been any since.
The hog lard aud kerosene mixture IL
n much more satisfactory lice remover
than kerosene alone. and Il Is not 80
hard on the hogs skin.
