Lonq Journey.

A railroad from Nome to Cape Horn is being considered, and sometimes one may be able to take a through sleeper from one end of the American continent to the other. In that case we would sample all kinds of climate from arctic to tropical and we would encounter endless variety of surface and scenery. Popular Mechanics says that several routes for such a rail road are being considered, but which ever one may be chosen the lines al ready built and covering over half the distance would be utilized. The fact that these exist makes the project seem less like a dream, but if we smile over it we might remember that men of affairs laughed at Cecil Rhodes when he suggested railroad from the Cape of Good Hope to Cairo-the en- tire length of Africa-but that road is now being built-is more than half done, indeed

GENTLE BULL IS DANGEROUS
Many Breeders House the Animals in Such Manner That Handling Be-
 comes Quite Unnecessary.

The dehorned bull can crush one fatally. He is less dangerous than the horned bull, just as a man with a closed fist is less dangerous than a man whose closed fist holds a sharp knife. Dehorn the bull by all means and put a ring in his nose. Lead him with a staff having snap hook to catch into the nose ring and in addition always have rope or strap attached to the halter ring, if hFWears halter, or to the nose ring. nethe bull pulls the staff out of ones
 nd he can still hang on to the strap lAthe nose ring breaks out, or breaks, the strap or rope to the halter may help. Many dairymen now house their herd bulls in such way that handling becomes unnecessary. The bullhouse has a gate door which hoists with rope and pulley, let ting the bull into an alley connect ing with yard of small size and with high, tight fence. A COW may be let into the same yard by a diff ferent gate and the bull turned in with her.

HONESTY HAD ITS LIMITS
Woman Resisted Temptation for Time, but Finally Proved Her
 self Human.

Somebody on the back platform dropped bundle. A woman saw 1t and picked 1t up. She was an honest woman; nevertheless she opened the package. It contained a waist pattern of very pretty silk. When she saw that she thanked her guardian angel she had been created honest.
 If 1 had been an ordinary dishon- est thing" she told her husband, "I should keep this silk as sure as any thing and make it up for myself"
 But since you aren't" said the man, what are you going to do with it?"
 "Oh, take it back to the lost and found department of the store where it was bought. The purchaser will probably inquire about it there"
 One evening about two weeks later the woman appeared at dinner in a new waist.
 Hello" said the man admiringly, 'seems to me I have seen that before. Isn't it something like the piece of silk you found?"
 Tt is just like it," sighed the wom- an. "It is the same piece. I took 1t to the lost and found department, but IT couldn't stand it. I went around the next day and asked for it my self.'

GOOD PROSPECT FOR SPORT
Quail Not Only in Profusion, but Seemingly of High Order of
 Intelligence.

They were talking about fine hunt ing the other night when Dr. Elmer B. Cooley, Uncle Joe Cannon's congress sional opponent, was reminded of an incident that happened in his home state.
 At the beginning of the hunting sea- son, the doctor said, an enthusiastic nimrod named Smith telegraphed ho- tel friend in the game region for reser- vation, and at the appointed time he was right on the job.
 Hello, Harry!" he exclaimed, salut- ing mine host, as he dragged his dogs and guns to the hotel veranda. Every thing all right?"
 Couldn't be better" was the prompt response of mine host.
 How about the gamer" returned the sportsman, eagerly. Are there any quail around?"
 Well, I should say so! declared mine host. Every time the cook throws refuse piece of toast out of the back window four or five fat quail fight to see which one shall lie down on it!"-Philadelphia Telegraph.

"A Good, Swell Name"

During an engagement played by William Collier in Atlanta, the player one day was shaved by loquacious darky who asked the comedian to sug- gest a good, swell name" for his shop. At that very moment the razor slipped and the suds were succeeded by alum.
 MT. Collier made no complaint, but when he escaped from the chair he wrote, in compliance with the barber's request, a couple of words on a piece of paper. The barber was delighted by the suggestion, which he declared he would forthwith adopt.

SUGAR BEETS AS SOLE DIET
When Such Feeding Is Long Con. tinued Animals May Scour-MiIk
 Flow Is Materially Reduced.

Sugar beets or sugar beet tops fed excessively as sole diet to milch COWS will reduce the flow of milk and increase the live weight because they contain fat rather than milk-forming material If such feeding is long con- tinued the animals may SCOUT and do poorly. A good feed of beets for an ordinary COW is 30 to 40 pounds per day in two feeds along with a small amount of grain and all the alfalfa or clover hay she will eat. Sugar beet tops should be fed carefully and never as sole diet

DAIRY NOTES
>~@%A>~%%%A%%u<%>%<

The milkers hands must be not on- ly clean but also dry.
 A trade mark can be made very val uable by a good dairyman.
 When selling butter it pays to put it up in neat, attractive cartons. A fall calf becomes producer when milk and butter are most valuable. A poor milker is one of the surest means of diminishing the milk flow.

 The success of dairy depends largely on the careful rearing of the best heifer calves.

Getting Double Value.

Senator Sniffensnuff likes to get dou- ble value out of his cigar. After snip ping off the pointed end he generally inserts two-thirds of the weed into his mouth and munches it until all but the lighted end looks like a salad.
 One afternoon while Sniffensnuff was sitting in front of his hotel a small boy tugged at the corner of his coat.
 What is it, son?" asked the sena- tor, good-naturedly.
 Pointing with small, brown finger, the lad replied:
