CARRIES FORTUNE TO GRAVE
French Miser Named AnaIade secretes
Wealth Under Armpits Before
Death.

A miser named Anglade, who died
at Pau recently carried part Of his for
tunue with him into the grave and hid
the balance In order to prevent any
one else using the money.
Throughout his life Anglade's only
ambition was to amass money, Paris
correspondent of the st. Louis Globe
Democrat says. He virtually starved
himself in order to save as much as
possible and his only fear of death
was based on the regret that he could
not take his possessions into the next
world.
He steadfastly refused to give his
relatives any information about his
possessions and after his death his
wife made a systematic search Of the
house, with the result that $6.250 was
found in gold and bank notes secreted
in out-of-the-way places.

ration per day to sustain each 100
pounds OF an animals live weight;
the dairy products and gain in live
weight are made from what feed can
be assimilated In excess Of the sus-
tanning ration. Then IL the 900-pound
COW will produce as much dairy prod
uct In 10 years as will the 1,40O-pound
COW, can we afford to carry this extra
500 pounds of live weight for term
Of 10 years at q cost OF 36,5O0 pounds
Of feed, just for the extra 500 pounds
of poor beef we would have at the end
of that time? Just the item of extra
cost of barn room for the larger anil
NAL for the 10 years would overbal-
ance the value Of the extra amount Of
beef. However, If there is such Q
thing as a practical dual-purpose COW
1t is to .e found in some of the fam.
ilies Of large Jerseys.
The popular demand for large cows
made it necessary for me to carry
family Of large Jerseys during the
last 20 years. This family Of COWS
weighed from 1900 to 1900 pounds
each, but in our families of smaller
cows we naQ 1ar greater prCpOrtlOn
that would make pounds of butter
per day, and they would do it on less
feed.
Last but not least in this brief sum-
ming up of the most salient excellen-
cies Of the Jersey. place her beauty.
No other member of the whole bovine
family can for a moment compare
with her. She Is the prettiest COW
there is. Her prominent eye and ex-
pressive countenance, together with
her alert, dress-parade attitude. win
for her the admiration Of all lovers of
the beautiful. Her capabilities in
point of looks are 30 great that it real
ly has to be admitted that in some
families beauty has been cultivated at
the expense of other and more i'm.
portant characteristics.

Tho Care Of Lambs.

At eight to ten days OF age lamba
will begin to eat At that time a
creep should be built which will give
them access to feed box containing
grain and trough with hay. Box,
trough and feed should always be kept
sweet and clean.
A good grain ration for lambs is
made as follows: Mix one-third part
of oilmeal with one part each of bran.
oats and fine cornmeal. Red alfalfa
hay or the second cutting of alfalfa
hay are the most desirable form of
roughage. OF the two alfalfa is to be
much preferred.
1t is good idea to keep up the
grain feed right along until the lambs
are sent to market. By so doing tha
lambs are kept fat all the time and
are ready to be turned into cash on
short notice should the market take a
sudden rise.

The too free exercising OF this un-

After . lifetime spent in learning
the business of keeping COWS do not
hesitate to say to the young man
reared on farm: Farm: and II
you farm. keep stock; and II you keep
stock, keep COWS; and II you keep
cows, keep Jersey cows" writes H. 8.
Chapman in the Breeders Gazette.
OF course, add TO this. III you keep
Jersey COWS, keep registered Jersey
cows. My reasons for maintaining
that the Jersey COW is superior to all
others as butter COW are as fol-
lows:
Her ability to produce butter and
cheese economically stands undisput-
ed. Her record in many public tests,
including the Chicago. St. Louis and
Portland expositions, has given her
the reputation, enviable and indisput-
able. Of being the worlds greatest but
ter COW.
The extra size Of the fat globules in
Jersey milk renders the butter of
superior grain and flrmness and more
easily separated from the cream
The Jersey COW has the function Of
assimilation developed to a greater
degree than any other breed. She is
a high-grade specialist as feeder
ration SO rich (concentrated) that
other COWS can not assimilate it. It is
this ability to stand force-feeding that
has brought the Jersey out ahead In
80 many public tests. This is merit
of the Jersey that can profitably be
taken advantage Of in working dairy
herd. In the herd in which the rats
ing Of stock is the primary considera-
ton would keep little closer to ma
ture. even at the risk Of surrendering
to some extent the meritorious quail
ties that artificial conditions have pro.
duced.
Superiority in numbers makes the
Jersey more practical animal than
her rivals. The animal that naturally
is matched against the Jersey is the
Guernsey. The Guernsey has her
good points and doubtless merits the
friends she has won. II you like
Guernseys better than Jerseys, that
may be reason why you may succeed
better with them. am frank to ad
NIT that my personal preference for
Jerseys doubtless has been factor In
my success with Jerseys. But setting
aside personal likes and dislikes, 1t te
far easier for the beginner to start
with Jerseys, because SO many more
bulls Of that breed are kept than OF
Guernseys. Consequently, there Ia fal
less excuse for inbreeding. and the
breeder easily can find the bloodlinet
that he needs in his herd without the
expense Of frequently buying bull
Another point In favor Of the jersey
COW is her medium.small size. Elk
periments have proved that 1t re
quires about 2 pounds Of balanced
