Our Source of Strength.
We do not fatter ourselves that
the intellect of our time, judged by
the power Of individuals, is excep-
tionally great No doubt men Of
commanding genius are still with
us, but they are not more numerous
or more original than in former
times. What then is the peculiar
ity that has produced such great re-
suits? In my opinion what has been
accomplished is due in great part to
the spread Of higher education,
which has evolved an army of com
petent investigators possessing en-
thusiasm for research which now,
for the first time, is led into useful
paths by the few great minds, whose
powers thus receive a wider range
and become more productive. 1t is
in this that our great strength lies.

suvino a Dairy Bull.

If you buy a young bull you must
pay more attention to the pedigree and
to the performance of his near ances-
try than TO his individuality. In the
purchase Of an old bull the record of
his offspring and his individuality are
the principal features to consider, and
these are much more simple and more
easily understood and of greater value
to the unskilIed judge of dairy stock.

DAIRY WISDOM.

One reason why the calf that
does not make continuous
growth fails to develop well is
because when progress has once
been retarded it is impossible to
resume at the old rate without
loss,
Nothing will change ones atti-
tudc relative to his dairy cattle
quicker than the evidence given
by the Babcock test
Few persons now think they
know all about feeding cows.
and those who know most are
the most anxious to learn.
The exercise of good judgment
is most necessary in handling
the dairy herd profitably
Good butter is like a crisp, new
banknote-it has u standard val :
ne everywhere. A little trouble
perhaps, but IT pays to take
pains.
The more nervous the COW the
greater her capacity and the
more need for gentle handling.
The amount OF milk COW will
yield depends as much upon the
dairyman as it does on the COW

Difficult churnlng is sometimes caus-
al by the fact that the cream becomes
contaminated with undesirable bacte-

fore it is highly advisable to carefully

The Cotswold is the oldest breed
Of sheep of which there is any sat
isfactory record. Its history goes
back at least three centuries. 1t is
one of the hardest of all breeds
and is the next largest sheep to the
Lincoln. 1t is a good mutton sheep
and has a good fleece of rather
coarse wool, valuable for heavy
goods. The fleece sometimes grows
to a length of twelve to fourteen
inches and is slightly curled The
flesh is not so fine as that Of the
Down breeds, but is yet excellent
for butchers use when not over
fifteen months old, when it fattens
readily The Cotswold shown was
a prize winner last fall.

TRAVELS OF A COMET.
This Celestial Visitor Greets Us Only
Once In SIS Years.


There is a comet that comes with
in sight of the earth every 575
years. Its tail is millions Of miles in
thickness and many more millions
of miles in length. 1t was first seen,
SO far as history records, 1,769 years
before the birth Of Christ. In few
weeks it faded from the sky, only
to return in 1194 and 619 b. G.
The year that Julius Caesar died
Al B. Cit came again, returning
in 531 and 1106 A. d. The last
time it was seen was in 1851, when
Sir Isaac Newton beheld it and dis
covered that comets are kept in
their orbits by the sun, the same
as the earth and the other planets.
Over two and quarter centuries
have now passed since the comet
disappeared. Even if it has been
travelling no more rapidly than the
earth goes around the sun its enor-
nous bulk has been shooting
through space at the rate of about
100000 miles day Yet in the
year 225G this same old comet that
was already well known visitor
when it looked down upon the
deathbed Of Julius Caesar will again
come within sight Of those human
beings yet unborn who will then in
habit the earth.
Talk about IA railroad train going
halfway across a continent in three
days and reaching its destination
on time! What is such a perform
ance as compared with that of a
comet that makes trip of 100000
100000 miles in SIS years and
keeps 50 closely to its schedule that
it always bursts from the darkness
at the moment when the astrono-
mers expect it?-New York Press.

a woman jury for service in the local
circuit court within the near future
and if this action is taken it will be
the first in central Illinois to be
chosen under the provisions of the new
statute, giving the women of the state
the suffrage right. Chief of Police
Link has stated that in the near fu
ture he will select a woman jury for
service and the move is anxiously
awaited by attorneys and all interest
ed in the suffrage question. 1t has
been shown that only those women
whose names are on the register car
be selected fer jury service, and be-

are opposed to suffrage and who dc
not vote will be eliminated from jury

BIRDS AND CoLoRs.

Pigeons and Chickens Can See What
Is Invisible to Man.
1t has been slowly brought to our
understanding that the world is not
the same to all creatures, and probably
no experiments have tended more to
make this clear than those on the
color sense Of chickens, pigeons, owls
and kestrels.
Hungry chickens and pigeons were
first kept an hour in a bright room for
them to become accustomed to the
light. The floor was then spread with
a smooth black cloth. evenly covered
with grains of wheat, a strong spec
trum was thrown on 1t from the cell
ing and the hungry animals We're turn
ed loose. They picked the wheat first
from the bright red. then the ultra red,
next the yellow and finally the green.
They touched nothing in the blue and
violet because they saw nothing: but.
on the other hand, they saw the grains
in the ultra red that were invisible to
the men.
This proved that for chickens and
pigeons the spectrum is shortened at
the violet end of short wave length
and extended at the red end of long
wave length. This is the effect one
might expect from wearing orange COL
ored glasses and demonstrated that
fowls see through such spectacles in
the form OF yellow and orange oil
globues embedded in the light sensi-
tive layer.
To kestrels and buzzards the bright
est zone was the green instead of the
red. the blue being visible. TO owls
