The Most Popular Sin.

The most popular sin. according to
high authority, is seltishness. At least
this was the conclusion reached by a
number of prominent public men, in
Guiding lawyers, editors, religious
workers and others in response to an
inquiry of Rev. DR.. Reisner of Grace
Methodist Episcopal church, in New
York, "What is the most popular sin
and the best method to offset it," OF
all the ignoble traits of humanity
selfishness works the greatest evil. 1t
finds it's root in envy, malice, extrava-
gance and it's fruit in sin. If we could
analyZe the causes Of crime, of poverty,
of wretchedness and of war itself we
would find at the bottom of them all
the evil spirit Of selfish purpose.

Antiquity Of Fishing.

Probably no branch Of industry can
lay claim to greater antiquity than that
Of fishing. It's origin would seem to be
coeval with the earliest efforts Of hui
man ingenuity, for the oldest monu-
ments of antiquity show the fisherman
in full possession Of the implements Of
his calling, and even those tribes Of
savages which have learned neither to
keep flocks nor to till the fields are
skilled in the fabrication Of the hook,
the fish spear and the net. The earliest
civilization Of the eastern Mediterra-
mean was begun with fishing. Sidon,
which means fishery" was originally
a fishing village, and it's enterprising
inhabitants devoted their attention
mainly to the collection Of a certain
kind Of mollusks, from which they pre-
pared the famous tyrian purple, priced
more highly for the richness and vari-
ETY. of its hues than any other dye
known to the ancients.

Ornithologists have finally awarded
first place as migrator to the arctic
tern. Recent investigations have proved
beyond all question that this bird OF
mystery makes fight every year to-
falling $4,000 miles. It is on the wing
literally twenty weeks out of the fifty
two, with a daily average fight of ap-
proximately $50 miles. When it is
winter in the northern hemisphere the
tern Is feeding at the edge Of the ant
arctic circle, far south of Cape Horn.
When spring banishes winter it re.
turns to the arctic, 1000 miles away
from it's winter quarters, to build its
nest in the arctic regions. Almost
with mathematical precision the tern
arrives in the north every year on
June Is and on Aug. % begins its long
southern fight. Curiously enough, re-
ports of the birds seen en- route are
exceedingly rare. One or two have

years along the Long Island shore, but

CARE OF THE HORSE ON THE FARM
gin to shed their old hair, it is a
By ARLEICH DEMRO,
Student Sank Centre High School

gin to shed their old hair, it is a
good plan to clip them. This way the
old hair is all taken off, while if he is
not clipped some of the hair does not
come off, and this holds the sweat and
dirt. A blanket should be put on a
clipped horse when he is out of doors
so that he will not catch cold.
When in the field always see that
your harness fits the horse as COM
Portable as possible. A good horse
man will look occasionally to see
that the name is not under the collar.
When the heavy Spring work begins
start in slowly. Do not work the
horses very hard until they become
toughened to the work. The feed
should also be increased. A 1000
pound horse needs ZIG pounds of por-
tien, 14.4O pounds of carbohydrates
and go pounds Of fat per day. Fol-
lowing are two good rations for a
1000 pound horse at hard work:
Carbohy-
Food Protein drates Fat
Oats, 10 pounds. :. .1.65 SAG rs
Timothy, a lbs. 80. SO 6.08 .19
Carbohy-
Food Protein drates Fat
Corn, Is pounds. :. .1.18 1000 ga
Clover hay, IA fbs... .95 500 "a
During the busy season the horse
should be watered with care. When
you come in from the field with horses
that are hot and sweaty, do not water
them at once, but put them in barn
and let them cool off first. At noon
they generally do not have time to eat
lot of bulky feed, so that it is best
to feed quite little oats, and more
hay at night and in the morning.
If your mare is with foal do not
work her too hard, as it is apt to in
jure her. After the colt is born, al
ways take very good care of him.
Keep his feet trimmed so he will not
break or spoil the hoof. Feed the colt
oats as soon as he can eat them be-
cause oats build muscle and bone and
are excellent food for a growing colt.
Always be kind to your horses. Do
not speak loud to them, do not start
pounding them and swearing at them.
In fact treat them as your best friend
and you will have better horses.

Edward Everett.

Edward Everett was one of the most
purely literary of all American orators.
Among the more eminent scholars and
statesmen of our land no one has ever
been more deservedly honored for in
tellectual power, purity of character,
public and private. and for clearness
and perception of judgment than Ever
EFT. TO the efforts of Edward Everett
more than to any other one person is
to be credited the raising of funds
sufficient to purchase the home of
Washington at Mount Vernon. He de.
livered a lecture on the character of
that great man more than hundred
times and gave the proceeds to the
Ladies' Mount Vernon association. He
personally placed over 100000 in the
treasury. 1t is probable that his ora
tory won for benevolent purposes at
least 100000.

It is important that horses be prop
erly taken care of on the farm. There
are many which do not get this care.
1t is just as necessary to keep horse
barn clean and sanitary as it is a
dairy barn. 1t is well to clean the
barn out daily and put good straw in
for bedding. The horse should be
thoroughly groomed every day at
least; twice is better. A great horse
man once said that currying a horse
was just as important as feeding oats.
Examine the hangers and partitions
once in a while to see that there are
no nails sticking out to scratch your
horse. Clean out the hangers and
feed boxes occasionally, and see that
there are no holes in the oats boxes.
The horse yard should not be in
some good for nothing mud hole.
Keep the yard as dry and free from
manure as possible. Also have large
yard, so as to afford the horses plenty
of room for exercise. When not work
ing the horse should travel three or
four miles every day. The halter
should never be left on when the horse
is turned out, as he may catch it on
something which may cause trouble.
The temperature of the barn in
winter should be from 40 to 60 de-
grees. This is better for the horses
than warmer.
The horses should be groomed every
day in winter as we'll as in summer.
The horse should be kept through
winter as cheaply as possible, there
fore great deal of roughage is feed.
In winter they drink very little water,
especially if they have to drink it
from tank which has ice in it. There
fore, it is a good plan to feed little
linseed or bran for laxative. See
that their feet are kept trimmed and
in good shape. The teeth are also very
important. Examine them occasion
ally to see that they are in good
shape.
Feeding the horse in winter is an
important item. There is always
some work to be done in winter, there
fore a good way to do is to use GER
tain horses to do this and feed them
according to the amount of work they
do, and rough the rest through as
cheaply as possible.
In the Spring, just when horses be-

CHOOSING MUTTON.
Rules to Guide Those Who Want to Be
Careful Buyers.

Careful Buyers.
Mutton is generally considered the
most healthful meat and is eaten by
many to the exclusion Of any variety,
consequently great care should be eX-
ercised in the selection. and a little
time should be given to the study of
quality.
In buying mutton or lamb care
should be taken to see that the fat is
clear, hard and white, as mutton with
soft or yellow fat indicates too long a
stay in cold storage. 1t might appear
that a great quantity of fat on mutton
signifies waste, but the lean part is
much juicier and more tender when
this is the case, so the wise housewife
makes purchases with this in view.
The leg has the least fat in proper
ton to weight. Next comes the Shout
der. The color Of lean mutton is a
deep red.
Lamb is good to eat when a year
old and is much more digestible than
other immature meat, such as veal or
young pork. The wise housewife
knows the value Of nutrition, so she
will hesitate about buying lamb mere
ly because it is in the market. as it is
generally expensive.
The meat of spring lamb should be
clear pink. with plenty of pure white
fat-New York Sun.

CHRISTIE CLAIMS THAT
 FOX FARMING FAILURE

That fox farming in interior Alaska as a commercial proposition is a fail ure, is the opinion of Harry Christie who for the past three years has owned fox farm at Alganik.
 Christie says that while others may not agree with him, he is firmly con vinced that foxes never can be sue cessfully raised in captivity. He claims that he has studied the prob lem carefully and given it a fair, practical test in the past three years, and his conclusions are not the result of nasty judgment.
 The one great obstacle to the pro- ftable fox farm, says Christie, is that after the first year, the captive fox will invariably kill it's young. This, he declares, he has found to be the truth, by his own experience. For the past two years the females which he owned killed their entire filters.
 Christie had seven pairs of foxes when he decided to abandon his farm. Those he sold to Jackson & EversOn, who intend to raise foxes on an ad- iacent island, where the foxes will be allowed to run free.

NEXT WAR WILL BE IN CHINA
(American Review.)

(Amerlcan ReVleW.)
 British diplomacy has been charged with two great bIunders in the present war, the failure to handle the Balkan crisis and pacify Bulgaria, and the failure to prevent the alliance of Turkey with the Central Powers. It is responsible for third equally great, but hidden for the moment in the greater urgency of war It has failed to prevent the entrance of Japan into China.
 Through this error England has opened the way for her own ally to become her greatest commercial and political rival in the Orient.
 The next war-diHicult as it now is to conceive of further bloodshed-is likely to have it's root at Kiauchau, so easily taken from the Germans by Japan. For on the cornerstone of this ancient province, the cradle of the Chinese race and the home of COnfucius, a new empire is scheduled to rise-the greater Nippon that is the dream of every Japanese.
 With the elimination of Germany, the problem of the Far East has been profoundly altered England, France and Russia, who. had once been eager for the partition of China, division prevented largely by their own mutual jealousies, are today conscious of a new menace and a new problem" after the war.
