the extra 10 gallons were worth $3.50;
hence. by getting rid of the ticks the
same cows on the same feed produced
milk enough to net the dairyman $50
day more than before they were
dipped. The small amount of money
which this dairyman spent in dipping
his cows was good investment.

One Of the important assets of the
dairy industry is the manure produced
by the cows. On many northern farms
truck farmers and growers of field
crops figure the manure they get from
cattle as paying them well for cattle
raising, even II they make only a
small profit or none from the milk or
beef, Out of one hundred southern
correspondents from tick-cleared areas
half OF them state that COW manure
has increased the productiveness of
their land 100 per cent more. The re-
mainder also agreed that manure is
highly beneficial to their land. Where

PORTUGAL'S new PRESIDENT

DR.. Theophilo Braga, who was
elected president of Portugal when
Doctor Arriaga was forced to resign
is man of high reputation in the
world of letters as well as of politics.
A few years ago Doctor Braga
wrote this simple sketch of his life:
AT the age of three he lost his
mother. He was tormented by a ter
rible stepmother until 1861. when he
left his fathers house and went to
Coimbra. then the only university in
Portugal, with a small sum which
he had received. for a volume of
verses he published in 1859. At
Coimbra his life was an obscure strug-
gle. for lack Of means of existence.
He bore up in this struggle with I'M
conquerable pride.
in 1872 he presented himself as
a candidate for the professorship of
modern European literature at the
higher Lisbon classes. What a terri

TOLD BY SWAGER SHERLEY

Representative Swager Sherley
OF Kentucky once attended a political
barbecue. where the chief interest
centered in the candidacy OF two law
yers for the Office of county Judge.
Both of these gentlemen came
from Virginia. One was a graduate
of the university Of that state, a man
of great culture and personal charm;
he had none too great modesty and
allowed his speech and manner to be-
tray his conscious superiority. He
was not averse to having 1t distinctly
understood that he was an "F. F. ""
Speaking first, he took occasion to
confess 1t.
When the other candidate came
TO talk he frankly acknowledged that
his opponent was an "F. F. "" and
that he felt rather humble in not be-
ing in that exalted class. He added.
