To Make Money on he Farm.

"a shrewd business man bought a
farm as hobby, and started out to APP
ply business principles to farming
Among other stock, he bought fourteen
cows These he named and weighed. lie
also weighed the food he gave to each,
and the milk each COW produced. After
a test of several weeks he found that he
had but one really productive COW in the
fourteen. The other cows as Judged by
the adopted standard, We're not worth
their feed. SO he sold them and bought
others, determined to find fourteen pro-
ductive cows. Gradually he eliminated
the Improbable cows from each new
herd. When he had bought one hundred
and ten cows he found the fourteenth
productive COW. He applied sr;entific
principles TO the production of milk. He
is now making more real profit from his
fourteen cows than he would have made
from all the balance OF the one hundred
and ten. Suburban Life Magazine for

Says Willie Pepper, with grin,
"Hurrah for Wilson twice ag'in."

As if he suffered in his soul
But Charlie Mac. was surely brave;
He rent the air with the cheers he
gave.

good cheers,
And three for the beast with the great

While a Bull Moose urchin hollered
"Rats!"
Now three for MARSHALL was the call
Twas the biggest noise we've heard
this fall
While BERTHE pitched his voice so high,
He knocked hole clear through the

The flag went up with right good will.
The Taft men all kept very still;
But chuckled at the solemn thought
That SO much fuss should go for
naught.

IN BOSTON MARKETS.
Prices Remain About the Same-Butter
and Eggs in Demand.

Boston. Oct. 20.--The week starts in
the local market for butter, cheese and
eggs without much change from recent
conditions. The demand for butter is
not urgent, but ii is steady and since
receipts are light the market keeps well
cleaned up and steady. The cheese mar
ket is dull, but there is no pressure
to sell and prices keep quite steady,
though the outside quotations are not
often obtained and then for very small
lots. There is no increase in the supply
OF fresh eggs nor any weakening in
prices, thought the market is not active

Bjornstjerne Bjornson. That is. Of

Japanese anthem is commercially short
and makes, in its English form, an
eminently pleasing poem. Its ten lines
are as follows:
Until this grain OF sand L
Tossed by each wavelet's freak,

Towering above the land;
Until the dewy fake
