Ancient and Modern Rites and Gus

ancient and Modern Rites and Cus
toms Minsie at Toxic.
Tokio-Funeral ceremonies of tn
late Emperor Mutsuhito, of Japan
posthumously known as 1.-THE Empero
of the Era of the Enlightenment, be
gan amid surroundings in which cen
tury-old rites and customs were min
gled with modern military display.
From the most extreme points O.
japan subjects have been assembling
in Toxic. At midnight great crowds
had gathered along the route of the
| procession
The weather was fair. A police
Gordon was established, shutting of
the streets through which the body OF
the emperor will be transported and
upon which it is estimated half mil
lion persons will be accommodated.
Soon after midnight officials proceeded
to the palace in preparation for the
early ceremony.
The sombre coloring associated with
Western mourning was almost entire
ly absent, being replaced by the bril-
liant hues of the Orient.
Official representatives of every
country had come to Toxic to partici-
pate in the soemnities. Among them
were princes representing reigning
houses and special embassies commits
stoned by republican presidents. The
list included Philander C. Knox, sec
Rotary of state of the United States,
who was accompanied by Ransford E.
Miller, chief of the Far Eastern sec
tion of the State department at Wash
ington; Rear Admiral Alfred Rey-
nolds and Brigadier General John ].
Pershing. Members of the regular
foreign diplomatic body were present
in their uniforms.
From an early hour the palace in its
great private park in the heart of the
capital was the goal toward which
everybody in Toxic made his
way on foot. The late emperor only
occasionally during- his life left the
noated inclosure where his body had
aid in state since August 10. Since
hat date on each tenth day, solemn
memorial services and sacrifices to the
pirit Of the departed ruler were per-
ormed.
The casket containing the body lay
q state in the main hall. 1t had been
ecorated according to Shinto rites by
special corps of ritualists.
The casket measured nearly ten feet
y five and weighed one and half
ms.
The chief ritualist and his assistants I
roffered the offerings of sacred food s
the continued accompaniment of Q
into music, after which other offer
gs of red and white cloth inclosed
willow boxes were made. Prayers
r the dead were recited by the chief I
tualist.
The most solemn act of all followed

incesses advanced toward the casket o.

The other members of the assem- M
lges however, remained to worship oi

Shinto ritualists advanced to the IN
ar and removed the offering to the 70
ind of sacred music. The screen in 10
mt of the catafalque was lowered by re
chief ritualist and the first cere- 10
ny of the funeral was ended.

Would Increase Ddirying Profits.

Even in Wisconsin, the leading dairy
state in the Union, the average cow pro-
duces but about 75pounds of butter per
year, barely paying for the feed she con-
sumes. There are, of course, many COWS
owned by Wisconsin dairymen producing
at the rate of $50 pounds of butter per
year and returning neat profits to their
owners, butthe proportion of such ami
mails is not nearly as great as it should
be.
To realize the profit from their labors
that they should, Badger state dairymen,
according to Professor George c. Hum
phrey who is accompanying the special
demonstration train of the Wisconsin
Live Stock Breeders Association on its
tour Of fourteen counties in southern
and western Wiic0n-in, must breed bet
ter cows and then supply their herds
with such feeds and give them such care
as will induce economical milk prOduc-
tiOn.
Feed" he declared sis the source of
milk and the dairy cow cannot yield $50
or more pounds of butter without being
provided with suitable feed and at regu-
lar intervals A variety OF feeds serve
best. An abundance of good grass pas
ture is, of course, cheapest and best but
when pastures fail to supply the.needed
amount, corn silage, or green s0iling
crops like rye, clover, oats and peas, ear
ly and late varieties of sweet corn and
field corn should be provided and pOssib-
| ly some grain.
''In winter cows ration should con-
sist of 25 to 40 pounds of hay and other
dry fodder and from one fourth to one
third as many pounds of grain mixture,
such as corn meal, ground oats, wheat
bran and oil meal, as the COW produces
pounds of milk. The grain mixture
should be selected with reference to cost
in order TO insure economy of production.
| 1T is useless to attempt to make all
COWS profitable milk producers. Unless
cows possess the essential features Of
large and economical milk producers it
is better to discard them. The, essential
features of a good dairy cow are capacity
for feed, dairy temperament, a large udder
of good quality and healthy, robust
constitution. Weighing the milk of cows
at each milking, testing it tor fat con-

rural schools to have the language class

the composition work. This plan not
only makes live interest in practical
composition but also favorably impresses
the community with the work of the

Saturday morning, Herman Kuhlke

into one of his eyes, death resulting in
simultaneously. The act occurred at
about $50 O'Clock, while the other MEM

Was Satisfactory Show.

The Seibel Bros. dog and pony show
gave two performances in Geneva last
Saturday. That they made good is not
argued by anyone who attended the two
performances. The antics and stunts
performed bvv the ponies, dogs and mon
keys, were certainly wonderful, and no
one regretted the admission price. This
show was here seven years ago, made
good that time, and it added to the over
flowing house in the evening. The Sci
bel Bros. are square fellows and will get
a good crowd in Geneva any time they
come.-Geneva Republican, Wednesday,
