Brendan lived in the sixth century and, according to leg end, fitted out a vessel and sailed west ward in the hope of discovering ar island supposed to contain the para disc once tenanted by Adam and Eve He was accompanied by fourteen monks, and the ship was "victualed for seven years"
 After sailing forty days and forty nights they came to an island, where they found "a hall with tables spread with good meat and drink" They then sailed on for long time and came to another island, wherein were the whitest and greatest sheep they ever saw" After stopping for a time they proceeded with the voyage and came to third island. called "the paradise of birds" After wandering about for seven years from island to island St. Brendan and his monks re. turned to Ireland. where they aston ished the natives by tales of the won

 There are plenty of laws now, but public sentiment prevents enforcement Law is not made potent by Legislature but by the strength of public sentiment AL most every community has statutes in abundance but hey are only imperfectly enforced The statutes are strong enough but public sentiment is not strong enough

PeriLS OfRefOTm
 (DR JOHN EMERSON RoBERTs3
(Paid Wet" Space.)

The professional ProhibitioniSt is the most dogmatic of all so-called refermers; he asserts that the drinking of any kind of beverage con- taining any amount of alcohol is evil and only evil, and therefore should be prohibited by law. He does not reason or argue; he asserts and de- mands he appeals to prejudice, to passion and to the minimizing mind. He knows that it is easier to arouse feeling than to awaken thought. He divides society into two classes-the "wet' and the "dry"-and in all of his talks implies that the "drys" are angelic beings, almost too good for this earth, while the "wets" are depraved sort tobogganing towards Hades.
 He goes to the churches and gets the odor of sanctity upon his meetings, and then encourages the inference that all who are opposed to him are opposed to the church, religion and morals gen. orally. A great many people are thus stamped ed into the Prohibition camp, while many others who are opposed to Prohibition remain silent out of fear of being denounced by the professional Prohibitionist
 The issue, however will not be decided by pas sion or prejudice or denunciation; it will be de- cided by reason and deliberate judgment
 You can not make man moral and upright or woman virtuous by legislation; and if you could, l, for one would rather struggle and fail as free man than be upright and virtuous and con- pelled to say that my virtue is the product of leg islation.

IMPROVING THE DAIRY cow
Several Excellent Suggestions Given
by Colorado Experiment Station
Get All strippinos.

The Colorado experiment station
gives the following suggestions for
increasing the efficiency OF dairy
COWS: The dairy COW may often be
brought up 10 the high degree OF eiii-
cheney by some simple means. The
persistency OF the mixer will pay well
for all the extra time spent. Try 10
make the COW think she has not given
enough. and she will set about TO
make II up next time.
4 little milk left in the udder will
make her think she Is giving more
than she is expected to give, and at
the next milking she will not have
quite so much for you. There is 4
great difference in the per cent. OF
butterfat in the FIRST and last milk
drawn. The first will sometimes be
as low as one per cent. and the last
has been known to run as high as IL
per cent. II pays to work for the
strippings.
The manipulation OF the udder will
often result IN the increase OF a pound
OF milk. This is usually done after
the mixer has secured all the milk
be can, by taking the teat In the hand
and pushing the udder up close
against the body, repeating this about
three times with each quarter Then
take each quarter in turn, between
the hands, with the hands close TO
the body, and rub down.
The extra milk secured at single
milking may not pay you for the time
but II will stimulate the cows to give
that much more at the next milking
without extra work. Here is where the
profit will come In.
We all know that a COW with which
the calf is allowed to run will very
soon adjust the Gow OF milk to the
needs Of the calf and It is equally
true that the dairy COW can and will
Increase the milk flow II encouraged
by the mixer. Get all the strippings
1t will pay.
