COWS AND wheat
GOOD COMBINATION

1t is an exception to the general rule
when Il farmer in the heart Of the
wheat belt takes up dairying to the
extent Of developing Il high class pro-
ducing herd, says the Kansas Farmer.
II. w. MOllhagen If Rice county is
II of these exceptions. While he has
been growing wheat he has in addi-
ton been gradually developing a herd
of pure bred Holstrin COWS having
large production capacities. In order
to make his dairy work tit in convcn-
iently with the handling of wheat he
plans to have most of the COWS dry
during the midsummer months. They
are thus given their resting period
during the hot weather when flies are

0 4 LITTLE BIT.

Any one can be a knocker;
It's easier to tear down than to build,
So why not try to be a booster?
With pessimists the worlds already
filled.
You can't expect that things will a.
ways suit you;
In melancholy judgement then YOU
sit?
No. Better far to help a little;
Better far to boost a little bit.
1t never pays to join the anvil chorus,
Or spread unkind reports about your
town;
Many there are to hamper and retard
it,
Who do their level best to run it down.
What if it has it's little f%ailings?
1t has its good points, also, hasn't it
So why not to the wheel adjust your
shoulder;
Why not get out and boost a little bit ?

Grain For Cows on Pasture.

If the grass is Of good quality and
an abundance of it. it is somewhat
doubtful whether COWS producing
twenty-five pounds of milk daily
would give any returns if grain were
fed. Cows producing twenty-five
pounds or more milk per day can very
often be fed some grain with profit
when on pasture. Much depends also
upon the physical condition Of the
COWS. If they are rather thin in flesh
some grain may be given to put them
in better physical condition. but grass.
as a rule. will produce from twenty to
twenty-five pounds Of milk daily per
COW and at a greater profit than when
kome grain is fed.-Hoard's nairyman.

Story of the Peasant Painter MilIet and
1.-THE AneeIus."
1t was only after long years of strug-
gle and dire poverty, through which
Millet was consoled and supported by
his wife, that the peasant painter was
able to take the three roOmed cottage
ut BarbiZon and TRY to do something
really good"
It was then that he began to paint
that most beautiful poem Of poverty,
1.-The AngeluS," which is today one OF
the most valuable pictures In the world.
Again and again he threw aside the
picture in despair Of ever finishing it
to his satisfaction. and as often his
wife replaced it on the easel and in
duced him to continue
On one occasion he was so incensed
Mt not being able to produce q certain
effect that he seized a knife and would
have destroyed the canvas and ended
the matter once for all had not his wife
fortunately seized his hand and in
duced him to give the picture another
trial.
Thus It was that at last THE An
gelus" found place on the walls OF
the Louvre. The success it won en-
couraged Millet to paint many more
pictures and thus place himself among
the immOrtalS in art.

the poisons of syphilis. govt, rheuma-

A tinfoil philosopher has said
The more | see OF men, the better
like dogs" As an example OF logic,
that is a good epigram. but there is
more of cleverness In II than of love
for humanity. Man is all right In
himself: 1t is only when he reflects
the thoughts OF others that he falls to
their level. No institution or group
of men or association Is greater than
the individual. A religious or an ir-
religious man; a democrat or a re-
publican, a prohibitionist or an anti
prohibitionist. a suffragst or an anti
%suffragist Is not great or evil because
he Is a religious man. "A democrat, a
prohibitionist or a suffragist. He is
great only in that proportion as he is
conscientiously honest in his convic-
tons or evil in that proportion as he
goes against them. Thus a mar who
believes in his soul that a principle Is
right, does wrong when he votes for
a law that would oppose that princi-
pie. Also he does wrong by voting
for a law which he intends later to
help nullify. Think for yourself.
And do what you think is right.
Thus a man becomes truly great. Do
not record the thoughts Of others.
Thought is the light from Heaven.
Consideration of bodies of men makes
us hard and narrow. Think for
yourself and let others think for
themselves. Don't be n thought re-
cord.

At the present time the average
death rate in the United States is
about IA. /. e., fourteen out of every
10000 persons die annually. The
writer is convinced that If syphilis
and alcohol could be entirely elimina-
ted the rate would at ono fall to IL
OF under.
Because of a false sense of prop
riety, very little is published in the
lay press about syphilis. AS a result
very few laymen realize the enormous
havoc wroght by this disease. Yet
