BUYING NEW cows FOR DAIRY
Rational Methods Of Feeding Are
Always Preferable.

In buying new cows for the dairy
one should buy from farmers who
practice rational methods of feeding,
preferably from those who do not
feed calves in stanchions. The feed
should not consist Of too much grain
and rich concentrates.

Origin of the Potato

T heard man declare today that pota- toes were not cultivated first in Ireland. Then why call them Irish potatoes, should like to know? And this name they have borne for hundreds of years, haven't they? While upon the subject will you tell us where sweet potatoes come from? am a conservative woman 50 years old, and l am getting tired of the way the present generation has of doubting the truth of all sorts of old things. I call it removing violently the ancient land marks. If you read your Bible you will see that a curse is pronounced upon those who do that! MELISSA G."
 At the risk of mourning your displeas- ure am forced by facts which respect as much as you do the good old things to tell you that the white Cor Irish potato was not first cultivated in Ireland. It was introduced into that island by Sir Walter Raleigh. He found potatoes growing in North Carolina, then a part of Virginia, carried some of the tubers to his estate near Cork, and planted them there. This was in 1885. They took at once to the soii and floVished so finely as to become within a century the staple food of the peasantry. It was probably a native of South America-perhaps of Chilli. Sweet potatoes were carried from Peru by the Spaniards to their country, and thence
 in the course of time, were introduced into England. Some writers say they are indigenous to East India and known there as vans. They are so unlike white pora- toes that they can hardly DC considered members of the same botanical family.

The Backward Child
 in the SchOOlrOOm

Much is heard among teachers concern ing the retarded child If the child is over age in his school work there is cause for inquiry into causes not neces- sarily cause for anxiety.
 Slight deafness in child may not be noticed at home where much talking is quite loud where the words used are familiar and where lack of understand ing is frequently assigned to inattentlon. At school the slightly deaf child loses the meaning of many phrases used by the teacher, the modulations of the voice are missed and hence the thought is of tel obscured, For time the child strug- gles to understand and strains to keep abrease of his fellows. but sooner or later his attention relaxes and he sub- mits to conditions he cannot remedy. He busies himself with other occupations often mischevious and he becomes "a backward child"
 The same calamity may await the child with poor eyes, but here the trouble may be discovered by the too closely held 'ok or inflamed lids, though these con s-tions are often overlooked and the child who is slow to read but all right otHef ways IS o1ten the child who, from astlgmatism, never sees letter clearly and sharply defined.
 Adenoids and tonsilar troubles have been so often written about that 1t seems odd that even yet every schoolroom con tains children who are mouth breathers and who with dulled and expressionless eyes sit patiently stumbling over lessons quickly learned by well children.
 The pale, undersized, i'll nourished child has not blood to supply both body and brain and one or the other must suffer often both.
 If the physical ills of these children are remedied and then little especial attention is given to them they will usually develop into over-age pupils. If the disability continues too long the self consciousness of retardation and inferior ity will permanently handicap the child.

Engaging Killed His Chances

In the October American Magazine, there Is an article by a salesman who confesses that bragging ruined his chances for success. He tells how 1t did, and how he cured himself. He says:
 q thought myself a huge success. Never did l overlook 8 chance to ad- vertise myself with the heads of the firm and the managers in other de- partments. After two and a half sue cessful years as sales manager thought the goal of my ambition was in sight Just as l achieved this self satisfied state of mind I suddenly dis covered that I was losing ground. Im- mediately the idea came that l was being undermined by Jealous men in the company. Undoubtedly some Of them were jealous, but even while l was accusing them of knocking me I realized that this was not the true reason. I began to lose control of my selling force. Some of the salesmen only half concealed their contempt for me and for my opinions was losing caste with the heads of the concern and began to regret having placed my self so conspicuously under their eyei that they not only could see me but see through me.
 The worst of it was that I was not really failing. I was delivering the goods and doing perhaps better thar the average sales manager could have done. But I had overadvertised my self. boosted the standard. trained them to expect great things, and when I could not maintain this false high level 1t reacted upon me and they con- sidered me a failure. The salesmer had come to regard me as a wind bag |. l~ boaster and a failure. They offered me job selling goods on the road but I refused indignantly. and re- signed"

Creamery for Dofhan

Dothan, October 12.-(Special.)-A mod ern creamery for Dothan was assured to- cay when one citizen agreed to subscribe 5000 of the needed s6000 capital provided other citizens subscribed the remaining SlO0. A committee from the Dothan Ro- tary club secured the needed 5000 in a short while. Representatives of machin- cry manufacturers are already in the city making bids for the contract of in- stalling the outfit. The United States department of agriculture has agreed to send an expert to Dothan to supervise the construction and equipment of the creamery and to remain here for 50 days after 1t is put in operation to instruct employees in it's management. The cram cry will be modern in every detail and government supervision assures that it will be run absolutely sanitary in every department.

Mother Shipton's Prophecy

Somebody referred in conversation at a luncheon party today to a prophecy several hundred years old which has been fulfilled in wonderful way by modern inventions. It was made by an English witch named Shipley. Can you tell me who she was and where I could find her prophecy? Ev- erybody except me has heard of her, but nobody could give any particu- lars about her. Was there ever such a witch? And what was the prophecy
 "H. G. M."
 Your informant did not get the name quite right. The woman accounted a soothsayer in her day was Ursula Southiel, who married a carpenter named Tony Shipton. She went among the English peasants under the title of Mother Shipton. This is the proph- ecy:
 MOTHER SYMPTOMS PROPHECY. Carriages without houses shall go, And accidents fill the world with woe; Around the world thoughts shall fly, In the twinkling of an eye. Water shall yet more wonders do, How strange, yet it shall be true;

According to the detectives, while the police force was weakened, w. H. Bla- lack, also aboard the launch, cut the rope and the launch went adrift with the de- tectiye on board. The detective finally succeeded in throwing the batteries over- board and cutting the wires on the launch.

MARION HARLAND'S DAILY
 HELPING HAND IN THE HOME.
By MARION KIRKLAND

The world upside down shall be, And gold be found at root of tree Through hills men shall ride, And no horse or ass be at their side. Under water men shall walk, Shall ride, shall sleep. shall talk. In the air, men shall be seen, In white and black and green. Iron in the water shall float
 As easy as a wooden boat
 Gold shall be found and found In a land that is not now known. Fire and water shall wonders do. England shall at last admit a Jew. And the world to an end shall come In eighteen hundred eight-one.
 She was born in Yorkshire in 14Ss and died in 1859. As the world has outlived the date set for it's destruc- tion, we may regard the rest of the prophecy as a kind of haphazard guess at utter improbabilities and the full fillment of some of the predictions as mere condolences. It is odd that the 5arson should have come down the ages In coherent form transmitted from one superstitious generation to the one following.
