OTHER PEOPLES MONEY.

Rich mems sons and inheritors OF
wealth have succeeded. have risen
above their unfortunate environment,
and, aided by other peoples money,
have at times accomplished great re-
suits; but the large majority of men
OF mark, men who are recognized as
leaders In their lines. reached their
goal through their own endeavors and
wholly without financial or other as
sistanee.
A close study of conditions proves
beyond doubt that comparatively few
men have succeeded except by their
own personal endeavors.
SO much Is self.work necessary for
self-advancement. that sensible and
practical men of wealth invariably
subject their sons to hard training. In
stead of placing them in responsible
positions, at the start, they require
them to learn the business from the
bottom up. even though 1t may be nee
essary for them to carry the dinner
pals OF labor and wear the overalls of
subordination.
Practically every railroad president
began as a brakeman. or occupied
some other mental position. He was
good brakeman before he was con-
ductor; good conductor before he
was the superintendent of a minor d.
vision, mastering each round as he
progressed upward.
Nearly all of our great merchant
princes began as Office boys, swept out
the store, and carried bundles.
It is an economic fact. not subject
to exceptions, that no man can sue
cessfully or proiitably manage any
kind of business, or any class of in.
dustry, unless he understands from ex.
perience the details of his vocation.
There is no way under the sun of
accomplishment whereby one can eff.
fectively and profitably command
Workmen, who are doing that which he
does not understand or cannot himself
do with some proficiency.
Many great men have been born
with silver spoons in their mouths,
but their success is due to eating out
of common crockery dishes, with iron
knives and forks, at uncovered tables.
where they come in close contact with
the fundamental subbottom of labor.
from which they progress until they
are able to command men doing what
they themselves have done.
Nothing can be accomplished with
out experience. Even ability itself Is
valueless unless 1t Is developed by ex.
perience. Seeing other people do
things Is not sufficient. To under
stand how to direct. you must have
been directed. To command, you must
have been commanded. There Is no
other way. Theory, great as II Is,
without practice, is worth less than
practice without theory.
II you begin at the bottom. you may
work up, II you begin at the top. yor
will topple over.

MOBILITY OF THE NATIONS
Writer contradIcts Assertion Made
by Lord Rosebery, Famous
British Statesman.

"A nation cannot be as noble as a
single man In II can" said Lord Rose
berry.
would say single man cannot
hope to be as noble AZ nation can.
A nation is capable Of an accelera-
tion--a momentum of moral action.
The nobility that is In a single man.
a nation can raise to an nth power.
One man who pulls himself together
and loves or one man who pulls him
self together and hates, Is impressive.
A nation that pulls itself together and
loves-is sublime.
Even q nation that pulls itself to-
gether and hates all over with one
mighty heat OF hate. Is sublime. Ev-
cry man in Germany who Is singing
Lissauer's chant Of hate and fighting
England with that chant Of hate-has
ten times as much hate in his one
single heart than he would have it
be were hating as single man. He
hates everybody else's hate on top Of
his own hate. One stick of wood In
q FIRE may be hot-but 1t Is hotter
with three more-and still hotter
that one stick-with three million
more.
It Is absurd to says nation cannot
be as noble as a single man can. Il
Is defiance of psychology and Of the
laws Of dynamics in the human heart

on the range, also for fattening cattle

feed and comparatively expensive, It
is fed in relatively small amounts,
ranging from one to three pounds a
head per day. Cottonseed meal or
cake fed heavily for long periods may
be productive of serious trouble
among cattle. causing blindness and
loss of muscular control BY heavy
feeding. we mean six pounds or more
day. amounts which no modern feed
er Is likely to give. Fed at rate OF
three pounds day or less. there Is
no likelihood of trouble II cattle
need more grain feed than this
amount. 1t is advisable to use such
feeds as barley or kafir, that are OF
o more fattening nature.
When alfalfa is available, there Is
not so much need for cottonseed cake.

same nutrients. Five parts corn or
barley to one part cottonseed cake
