ST. Patrick,s RfrthnIaoa

Almost as many countries claim the
honor of being the natal soil of st.
Patrick as Of Homer. Scotland. Eng
land, France, Wales. Cornwall and
Brittany all arrogate to themselves
the privilege Of pointing out the
saints birthplace Half dozen dates
are given as that on which he was
born, but all unite in fixing upon the
18th of March as the date of his
death. which to a saint is the true
birthday, as he is then born into the
higher life. The years of life allotted
to him by the different dates vary
from Is to 120, but after the lapse of
fifteen centuries it is enough to know
that st. Patrick was a historic char
acter. who lived in the latter part Of
the fourth century and the earlier
part of the fifth; that ne lived to
green old age. and that until the end
he was a man Of gentle deeds and
broad charity.

'WHY SHOULD | USE

There is nothing the matter with
my skin, and I thought Cuticura Soap
was only for skin troubles" True, it
is for skin troubles, but its great mis-
sion is to prevent skin troubles. For
more than a generation its delicate
emollient and prophylactic properties
have rendered it the standard for this
purpose, while its extreme purity and
refreshing fragrance give to it all the
advantages of the best of toilet soaps.
1t is also invaluable in keeping the
hands soft and white, the hair live
and glossy, and the scalp free from
dandruff and irritation.
While it's first cost is a few cents
more than that of ordinary toilet
soaps, it is prepared with such care
and Of such materials, that it wears
to wafer, often outlasting several
cakes Of other soap, and making its
use, in practice, most economical
Cuticura Soap is sold by druggists and
dealers everywhere, but the truth of

SiLAGE IS GOOD FOR SHEEP
VIII Be Found Most Beneficial Feed
for Animals During Long Winter
Season for Feeding.

10y j. - 1OGR1EE-b
There has been great difference Of
opinion concerning the value of siIaga
as a sheep feed. In our opinion sill
age IS a good and safe feed for old and
young sheep if it is free from mold,
and If it is fed carefully. Moreover.
the central western farmer viii find
slage a most beneficial food to tone
up the digestive tract Of his sheep
Throughout the long winter season for
feeding. Silage acts through the win
ter much the same as gress does
through the summer, keeping a bloom
and thrift on the sheep that is hard
to equal without it.
Lambs which are being fattened for
market need less silage than the older
ewes. and particular pains must be
taken to keep only fresh, sweet silage
for them. Cattle feeders find good
sound silage a very excellent fatten-
ing feea in itself, but sheep will not
handle as much straight silage as cat
lie
Lambs being fed for the market
should be slowly started on silage. Civ
ing them only taste during the Rrst
week Gradually then for three more
weeks the quantity should be in
creased until they are getting all they
VIII eat up nearly clean. At the end
OF the first month if such an increase
has been gradually made. cut back on
the quantity a little so as to hold
them on a feed Of silage just a little
smaller than they would eat if fed all
they wanted
By so judging their apPetites and
holding them on just a little less than
they would eat the feeder runs less
risk of overfeeding on silage. IN
quantity this would be from one to one
and one-half pound a day, or two good,
big, double handfuls a day.
All these rules can be changed
somewhat, of course, yet they will
serve as = reliable, practical guide,
for they are the result of experience.
However, any farmer feeding silage
should remember:
/ Never feed moIdy siIage.
2. Never feed silage for a long
time that is noticeably sour.
3. Never start in heavily at first.
4. Never feed siIage heavy in the
grain one day and silage light in the
grain the next.
8. Never allow silage to lay in the
troughs from one feeding time to the
other.
6. Never feed silage that is notice
ably frosted.
Z. Never leave the salt box empty.
8. Always watch the appetites of
the sheep, and if they seem tired of
silage cut down on the ration until
they grow eager for more.

CELTIC STRAIN IN AMERICA
Its IntermingIing With That of Other
Races Has Made This Nation
Strong and Great.

It would take a volume, and a large
one, to set forth the whole of the
debt which America owes to men of
Celtic blood. There is a sentimental
effort on foot by men of this race to
conserve the various branches of the
Celtic language and to perpetuate in
its purity to future ages the Celtic
blood. The sentiment is admirable
The Celts. and particularly Irfshmen,
have been noted for their ardent
patriotism. No people ever loved
their native sod with such a tender
ness Of devotion as the people of this
green isle. But the Celtic race is
not sufficiently differentiated from
the Latin and from the Teutonic to
make perpetual segregation possible.
For 1000 years the amalgamation of
these European races has been going
on, and the amalgamation must go On
until in a complete mingling of the
various strains will arise one con
glOmerate people of various strains
Of the highest type of humanity that
the world has ever known. The CITY
of Boston is more Irish than Yankee,
and the intermingling of the blood of
men like Patrick Collins with that
of the descendants Of John Alden and
Cotton Mather is just what gives us
the men Of whom we are proud. The
influence of this Celtic race, the pfo-
neers of all Europe, in its mfngling
with the other strains of white blood
in the American people, is of more
value than the conservation of the
Erse sept in Connemara or Tyrone.

BEES HAVE DIRECTIVE SENSE
They Can Fly for TWO Miles From

possess a special directive sense like
carrier pigeons. They can fly for two

Of honey. LangstToth and others be
lieve that vision comes into play and
that bees can see for a great distance
and can also note objects Oh the way
SO as to find their path.
Others. with Dadent. believe that
bees are guided by a sense Of smell.
and that they can smell flowers at q
distance Of one and a half miles. But
BONNER finds that neither sight nor
smell is necessary to the bees. He
takes them over a mile from the hive
in a closed box They always fly
back to the hive when released
When their eyes are covered it is the
same.
His experiments serve TO show that
bees perceive odors only at short dis
tances. When a needle dipped into
ether is brought near the head OF the
bee it shows signs Of perceiving odor.
but not so when the needle is placed
back Of him or near the other organs
Besides, when organs Of smell are re-
moved entirely there is no difference
At 600 feet from the hive BONNER
places a supply of strip and the bees
soon find it, proceeding from and to
the hive. These he marks green,
Then he places a second set 20 feet
from the former. Other bees are now
engaged in the movement to and from
this point. but there are not the green
marked individuals He marks these
red. There are thus two distinct sets
Of bees. And they can distinguish
two directions which form an acute
angle. Here seems to be special di-
