together with the song OF the minister
Of agriculture, commerce and trade,
Chang Tsein, belongs to the latest

Is a translation of the first three
stanzas:
China, the sublime mountains and
luxuriant plains attest thy greatness.
Country of wonders through thy hoary
civilization thy emperors have sacri-
feed themselves In ceding the rule to
the people.
"The people have the supreme pow
er. So has taught Confucius and
Mengtse. And already in the hoary
times Of Yao and Suen 1t had thus
been announced to the people. The
people is composed of five tribes. The
unity of the five tribes is past dispute.
Then China is invincible.
Develop the wealth of the country,
improve agriculture, and make the
people happy. Education and culture
are the achievements Of centuries. All
citizens are equal; for Confucius and
Mengtse have taught social equality"

Mules Always In Demand


In Farm and Fireside Judge w. r.
Schooler. successful stock breeder
and feeder in southwestern Missouri,
shows the real value of mules and
the money that there is to be made
in them. Judge Schooler has thou
sand-acre farm and is an expert on
the breeding and care of mules. The
following brief extract taken from his
-rticle shows the value of mules:
"A good mule should weigh from
1000 to 1.400 pounds, and mules of
this class will bring from $500 to 5000
span. A great many of these are
sold east along the Mississippi river,
while the smaller ones weighing
around 1000 pounds are shipped south
to be worked in the cotton fields. One
thing in the mules favor Is that he
will always bring what he is worth.
He is like hog In that respect
there is always market waiting for
him."

little loft is filled with clean straw.
Air finds its way slowly through the
filling of straw, without causing
draft.
Sometimes the straw is supported
by stretching woven wire fencing at

to ventilate a poultry house If the

THE SECRET

Of good coffee is to get pure, sound coffee.
If you ask your dealer he will tell you
that all cofsees are pure, as the law pro.
hibits the sale Of substitutes as coffee.
Not all apples are pure although they
are apples. Some of them are often rotten
SoMe coiiees are windialls, and whilst
the law allows them to be called coffee
they are impure and have harsh taste.
rsnison's Coffees are picked coffees, the
berries picked by hand from the trees,
consequently they are always pure and
sound in every sense of the word, reliable
and delicious.
Denison's Coffees are always packed in
cartons, bags or cans with the name on
every package. All others are limitations.
If your grocer does not stock Denison's
Coffees, write the Denison Coffee Co., Chi
cago, ILL.,, who will tell you where they
can be obtained in your vicinity.-Adv.
