Literary RetrothaI.

Inscriptions in complimentary copies
of learned works do not always serve
the graceful purpose to which one
was dedicated by the celebrated Pro
fessor Wilson of Edinburgh.
When the sutton for the hand OF
Professor Wilson's daughter had
gained the young woman's approba-
ton, she of course referred him to
her father. Having stated his case,
the young gentleman was asked to
bid the young lady to come to her
father. Her obedience was prompt.
Professor Wilson had before him
for review ponderous volume. on
the f1y-leaf of which was duly in
scribed, with the authors compli-
ments."
He tore this fy-leaf out, pinned it
to his daughters dress, solemnly led
her to the anxious lover-and went
back to his work.-Youth's Compan-
ion.

Are You Subject
to Constipation
Here is a Simple Way of Cor
recting it Instantly Before
il Becomes Chronic.

Very few people go through life
without some time or other being
troubled with constipation. Thousands
injure themselves by the use OF
strong cathartics, salt mineral wa
tiers, pills and similar things. They
have temporary value in some cases,
it is true, but the good effect Is soon
lost, and the more one takes OF them
the less effective they become.
A physic OF purgative is seldom
necessary, and much better and more
permanent results can be obtained
by using a scientific remedy like DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. 1t does not
hide behind high sounding name,
but is what it is represented to be,
a mild laxative medicine. 1t is SO
mild that thousands of mothers give
it to tiny infants, and yet it is so COM
pounded. and contains such definite
ingredients that it will have equally
good effect when used by a person
suffering from the worst chronic con-
situation. In fact, among the great
est endorsers of Syrup Pepsin are
elderly people who have suffered for
years and found nothing to benefit
them until they took Syrup Pepsin.
1t is fact that millions of families
have Syrup Pepsin constantly in the
house, homes like those of Mrs. G. B.
Pruitt, Berea, KY, who used Or. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin as a laxative
tonic. Mrs. Pruitt writes that it SO
strengthened and cleansed her system
that she was quickly relieved of Sc
we're cough which had troubled he1
for months. The special value of this
grand laxative tonic is that it is suit

PITCHER DAVIS VERY STRONG
Williams College TwrIer Scores 1865
Points in Physical Test-Ex-
ceeds HardWick Mark.

George Davis, who twirled for the
Highlanders last summer, is the
strong man at Williams college, where
he is studying for his degree. In a
recent test made by Physical Direc-
tor. Seeley, Davis made the remark
able record of 1865 points, which ex-
ceeds the record made at Harvard by
H. R. Hardwick, the Crimson's strong
man. Davis record was 1855 points
better than Hardwick's and also con-
siderably higher than the one made
by f. D. Huntington last summer at
Harvard. The system used for meas
uring at both institutions is the same
The statistics for the separate
tests are as follows: Capacity of lungs
$50, dips 40, pull ups 20, back 430,
legs sos, right forearm 80, left fort
art 81, weight "a, height 173, chest
and upper arm 444, development SILT;
total strength, 1885.
Davis captained the Williams team
last year and his twirling attracted
the attention of baseball men the
country over The Yankees gave him
trial later, and from his showing it
is evident he will become a good ma
jor league boxman after he has had
more experience in the big leagues
When Davis first appeared at Will
liams he was a weakling. Work in
the gymnasium and baseball soon de-
veloped him. He is a good example
of what man can do to develop him
self.

Therefore, it is found that Clarke
has seen II rival commanders come
and go in the major ranks. Not one
is left who was a rival at the start OF
the season of 1900. Connie Mack has
enjoyed an uninterrupted reign at Phil
aedelphia and approaches Clarke's
mark more closely than any other man
now in the business, but Connie did
not begin until 1901, so that even he
has been distanced by the Pirate
boss. Clarke's closest rival in the
National league is John McGraw, who
took charge of the Giants in 1902.

WINTER FEEDING FOR MILK
BY c. n. EckIes, Professor Of Dairy
Husbandry, University
of Missouri.

The period of winter feeding in
Missouri is shorter than in most of
the dairy states. By pasturing wheat
ami having blue grass pasture which
has not been eaten down, to turn into
late in the fall the pasturing season
cen be greatly prolonged. The great
problem in winter feeding Is, in gen.
eral, to maintain summer conditions
1t is entirely feasible to maintain
practically these summer conditions
throughout the entire winter on any
farm when the subject is properly
understood and the necessary ar
rangements made.
The first condition typical Uf the
summer feeding is an abundance of
palatable food, and on this point is
made one of the most common mis-
takes in feeding COWS. In producing
milk, the COW may be looked upon In

all, the animal must use certain
proportion of it's food to maintain the
body. This is the first requirement
of the animal and it is the first use
to which it puts it's food. This we
call the ration of maintenance, and
it is practically fixed charge. That
is, it is practically the same whether
the animal is being utilized for maxi
mum production, or whether the ami
NAL is being merely kept without
producing any milk at IL.
In the case Of en ordinary dairy
COW this ration of maintenance
amounts to about go per cent Of the
ration that she is giving. In the
case of a heavier producing animal.
for example, one producing / pound
to TX pounds Of butter fat day, this
ration of maintenance amounts to
about one-half the total feed Of the
animal. 1t should be clear that, after
going to the expense Of giving the
animal the necessary amount to keep
her alive, It is the poorest economy
to refuse to furnish the other 40 or
so per cent. which she would utilize
exclusively for milk production. On
the average farm this Is one Of the
most common mistakes made.
