COUNTESS AS STREET SWEEP
Young German NobIewoman Inspired
Her countrymen to Freedom by
Display Of Fortitude.

Julie NJ. Lippmann tells story OF
the Thirty Years war in st. Nicholas,
under the title OF The Street Sweep.
err" The author says:
Now Mainz is one of the strongest
fortresses in Germany; but. neverthe'
less, during the Thirty Years war It
was occupied by the French, who laid
the country waste and ruled over the
land with all the harshness Of In
vaders. There seemed no hope Of es-
Gaping from their tyranny, for the men
who had fought and lost were dis
couraged. and had no further heart for
resistance. So matters went from bad
to worse until, one day. the beautiful
young countess of Stein summoned all
the sweetest and best maidens Of the
city into her presence, and urged them
10 make a solemn vow that they would
neither we'd nor listen to a word Of
wooing until their country was en-.
tirely free.
AS you may believe, the news OF
this league made great stir; for men
who have lost their courage in war,
and men who have lost their hearts in
love, are very different beings. The
Frenchmen saw very soon that the
young Germans were showing signs
Of rebellion, and so they determined
to wreak their vengeance on the
countess. They took her prisoner,
dragged her through the city, and at
last thrust broom into her hand. and
babe her sweep the principal street Of
the town-a terrible humiliation, they
thought, for a high-bred lady as she
was.
But do you think she faltered? No,
indeed. She raised her eyes, and,
praying aloud so all could hear: God
Of my fatherland, bless my sweeping.
and as sweep the highway, grant
that the enemy may be swept from
our handicapped the broom firmly
like the true young noblewoman she
was) and swept so clean that not
Frenchman of them all (and French
men pride themselves on being able
to see very fine points, could discover
speck Of dust. They stood about,
and twirled their mustaches, and tried
to look supercilious, and to raise the
peoples mirth against her. But they
did not succeed; and the townsfolk,
instead of jeering, took Off their caps,
and echoed her prayer-"God bless
the sweeping"
And God did bless it; for the sight
of their noble young countess at her
task put the men on their mettle, and |
they turned on the Frenchmen and
fought with such a will that 1t was
not long before there was not one left |
in the land, and they had indeed swept |
the country quite clear of every foe.

WHICH is BEST DAIRY sREED7
Question Often Asked and Never
Satisfactorily Answered-SeIee-
ton Of Individual ls Vital.

How often does that question come
up? 1t is constantly asked. and never
satisfactorily answered. Which girl
will make the best wife? There are a
host Of men trying to find out.
On the COW question the following
classification by Prof. F. E. Wood
ward of Utah Is comprehensive. fair
and just:
Ranked with reference to the
amount Of milk produced, the breeds
stand as follows: Holstein, Ayrshire,
Guernsey and Jersey. With reference
to richness of milk: Jersey, Guernsey,
Ayrshire, Holstein. With reference
to color Of milk: Guernsey. Jersey,
Ayrshire. Holstein. With reference to
size: Holstein, Ayrshire, Guernsey,
Jersey. With reference to early ma.
turity qualities: Jersey, Guernsey.
Baxter Springs news. [volume] (Baxter Springs, Kan.) 1882-1919, 1911-04-13

Ayrshire. Holstein. With reference
to ability to rustic for a living: Ayr
shire, Jersey, Guernsey, Holstein.
There is very little difference in the
amount of butter fat that is produced
on the average by various breeds.
There is a great deal more difference
between the individuals Of a breed
than between the breeds. Good cows
are found in every breed. And poor
cows are found in every breed. A
good Holstein is better than a poor
Jersey, and a good Jersey is better
than a poor Holstein. The selection
Of a breed, then, is not Of so much
importance as the selection Of the in
dividuals within the bred.
The illustration shows the head Of
Ferris Golden Winnie, a champion
2-year-old Jersey Heller on the Wis
consin state farm.

Dry COWS and poor COWS are two
snags that dairymen should steer
clear Of.
Breed your favorite breed in a man,
ner that will conform to all of your
requirements.
Successful dairying is like riding a
wheel, If you don't keep moving you
will fall OF.
No dairyman can afford to grow tim,
othy hay on land that will yield good
crops Of clover.
Let every COW stand on her own
individual merit and not live on the
profits from her sister.
The dairy COWS are our best friends
ana the farm without them is on the
road to impoverishment.
Cleanliness In the dairy business is
more a matter Of inspiration than edu.
cation in sanitary methods.
Individual excellence is the only
safe guide to follow in selecting q
herd Of profitable dairy cows.
In figuring up the profits from the
cows the past year don't neglect to
count in the manure produced.
Moistening the hands either with
milk or water before milking is only
a habit, and not good one at that.
II is mistaken economy to put on
feeding grain and supplemental for
age crops until everything in the pas
ture Is consumed.
The true value Of the COW depends
not on herself alone. but on the feed.
ing, shelter and functional action Of
the organs Of nutrition.
Amy dairy COW Of any breed should
give her own weight In milk each
month for at least six months. and an
extra good COW win do better.
The grade cows are the basis on
which the dairy business rests at the
present time and they are the cow
that We shall continue to do business
with owing TO their greater numbsrs
and lees cost.
