DON'T BE A PARROT.

A parrot can be taught to speak
This bird will repeat whatever i;
is taught, but has no reasoning
power nor realization of the mean
ing of what it says. Man unlike
the parrot is taught to speak, but
possesses reasoning power. 1t is
possible for man to analize what
he is taught and derive through
loigc, the proper meaning or ex-
preston of the words he is taught
Yet there are many men in the
same category with the parrot
viz: repeaters of what they hear
without a reason of their own for
the why's and wherefores. Don't
be a parrot. Have a reason OF youi
own.

FRIENDSHIP

The word friendship is one o.
the most abused words in the En-
glish language. The friendship o.
one man for another is about tho
greatest gift that could be be-
slowed, yet how many men be
tray a friendship and treat lightly
the condolences of friendship
which should be regarded as sac
red. Many men profess friendship
with one breath and in another
dispel hope that they have an,
realization of the meaning of the
word. Friendship involves many
things, including privation, sell
sacrifice, implicite faith, hope, un
selfishness, and many others, ever
humiliation. There is no bettel
proof Of a real man than true
friendship.

THE MAD STAMPEDE.

1t was forty below, by the
weather glass,
When | hit the trail for the Old
White Pass;
I'd been on a steamer for over i
week,
My joints were stiff, l could hear
them creak,
Yet nary a trace Of fatigue or
fear could you see in my
face;
For scared in my brain was a
lust so old,
I'd mush all day for that dust
called gold.
There were men in front, and
men behind,
But still | kept to that terrible
grind;
Through the long winters nigh
I'd lay
Waiting and praying for the
break of day,
That might be up and my way
upon,
Among the first to reach the OIL
Yukon.
For down that river I'd yet to &c
Over the ice and over the snow,
And many a mile I'd yet to musf
Over a trail that was beaten to
slush;
Had but known what that ira
was like

MONOPOLY AND
COMPETITION.

A monopoly of any industry OF
business of any character has :
tendency to tend toward inferior
quality of products as well as high
prices and lax service toward the
public. Keen competition stimu-
lates trade and forces merchant:
and producers alike to vie with
each other in an effort to pro
duce' a superior quality OF goods
and products, as well as creates
efficiency in both the manufac-
ture and handling, in order to Of
fer their wares to the public a.
tho lowest price possible. Compe-
tition should be welcomed by the
public and encouraged, as it is tc
the benefit of all parties.

A DAIRY TESTING AS.
ISOLATION
(By Joseph Wilson, Jr.)


A Dairy Testing Association
means dollars and cents to Us
farmers. 1t is problem in which
we would have to cooperate il
order to get the best results. AND
the more time we spend in coop
Grafton the quicker will we adj
vance. We sometimes act like 4
lot of miners who rush in the din.
ing room to eat. And as a friend
of mine says: 1.-TWO of them Sit
opposite each other at the same
time; each one gets hold on the
plate of beans at the same time
they begin to pull and jerk on tn,
plate and you can't tell which one
is a'goin' ito get it." That's just
the way we are when we get in :;
dispute over water or a calf. The
merchant or bystander can't foi
the life of him "tell which is a,
goin' to get it."
Some one said that Mem
judgments are like their time
pieces, no two are alike, yet each
believes his own" One of the con
enient things about a Testing AS
ISOLATION is that each man can ust
his own judgment as to breeding
feeding and care of the animals
yet it is cooperative enough to
allow the farmer to benefit from
the organization.
In order that we might better
understand the benefits of Dairy
Testing Association, will explain
how the work is performed by the
tester. For operating as cheaply "a
possible it is best that the associa-
ton be composed OF twenty-siS
members. This gives the tester e
working days, or herd to test
each day. Each herd is then tested
once a month. The tester carries
ibis testing outfit with him, and i,
furnished with hosre and buggy
to transport the same.
The milk is weighed and sam
pie of milk taken from the milk
ing of each COW at night. The
operation is repeated in the morn
ing. The two samples Of milk are
mixed so as to get an average oil

I'd never gone on that damned
old hike.
Like all the rest I'd gone stark
mad,
And it seemed as if I'd never be
glad,
Unless of that yellow metal I'd
found
Enough to weigh it by the
pound.
Many a man dropped in his track
And lay right down on the flat Q
his back.
To die like dog, out there in tn
cold;
All forthat dust that men call
gold.
Help those who gave up to
despair,
No, not I, myself was my one
At last | gained the very lead,
TO the cries for help I'd paid no
heed;
And from the earth I'd wrest the
dust
That had awakened all this lust.
Once again | hit the trail,
My strength and courage did no;
fail;
Twas twenty below on this day
my last,
The soft white snow was falling
fast;
And in my haste to spend my
gold
l forgot that | was growing cold
When DER me crept a warm
sensation,
That made me forget my
destination;
I'd stumble along, and then I'd
creep,
At last l Topped right down to
sleep;
And in the morn they found me
there
Those for whom I'd not a care.
I'd lost limb, my ears were
froze,
It seemed as if I'd not my nose;
They laid me gently on
sleigh,
The gold | had | gave away,
The lust was gone and in its
stead
t seemed my very heart strings
bled,
For | had lost through all this
strife,
Wy best possession in this life.
