ALL ABOUT THE PHILOSOPHER
Short Essay Evidently Written by One
Familiar With This Species Of
Animal.

A philosopher is man, and rarely
a woman, who, having nothing to do
and being glad of it. puts in his time
explaining the reason that other peo-
pie should have for doing things
Philosophers are no popular be-
cause, in the first place. most men are
too busy to listen to them. and, In
the second place, they are satisfied
with their own reason for doing
things.
Nevertheless, philosophers are wont
to gravitate toward comfortable stoves
in corner groceries, where men of
varying leisures struggle in and to-
wards comfortable chairs in UNIVERSE
ties where helpless youth are COM
PEELED to listen as part of an awful
punishment called curriculum.
Whenever philosopher becomes ia
nous. it always turns out that he Is
not philosopher at all, but scient-
list. Simon pure philosophers never
give information, because nothing less
than explaining the unknowable viii
satisfy them. One philosopher will
never agree with another philosopher
if he can possibly help it.-Life.

FredIno Farm Horses.

At the Michigan experiment station
an experiment was recently conducted
for ten weeks. using variety OF
cheap substitutes for oats and timothy
hay as feed for horses. Six horses
at work received a regular ration OF
timothy hay and oats at an average
cost of 29.6 cents per day. estimating
the feed at current prices. The horses
lost on an average of II pounds
each. Six horses were fed cheaper
ration consisting of shredded corn
stalks. oat straw, hay. ear corn. oats
beet pulp. bran, oil cake and few
carrots. the average cost of which was
III cents per day, and the horses
gained on an average IA pounds each.
Four horses were also fed the cheap
err ration, but as they were at rest
part of the time they were not fed
so heavily as the other lots. The av'
erage cost of maintenance In this
trial was 1873 cents, and the average
loss in live weight for each horse
| four pounds.

In the selection of breeding ami

Breed alone does not determine good
