WHY RAISE LIVE STOCK?

Because the by-products OF
live stock are from year to year
advancing In prices and promise
to continue to In advance.
Among them are wool and hides.
Because no permanent system {
of agriculture is likely to be
adopted If the farmer does not I
base that on the growing OF live
stock, In part. 1t is the lack of ,
permanent system thar has led
to the exhaustion of cur soil,
both as to its plant food and as
to it's humus.
Because the raising Of live
stock enables the farmer to utll-
fze his pastures, which, rightly
handled, are amoag the most
profitable acres Ca his farm.

How to Cut a Bottle.

A simple method Of accurately cut.
ting a bottle is to place 1t upon some
level foundation and fill II with lin
seed oil to the point at which you de-
sire the line Of separation to occur.
Then take an iron rod OF as great a
diameter as will pass into the bottle,
make il almost white hot. and dip II
into the oil. After the lapse of few
moments sharp crack is heard. and
the bottle is found TO be neatly cut
ms IL with diamond. II the bottle
he very thick and the cracking sound
not heard in few moments. little
cold water thrown on the outside will
accomplish 1t.

WHEN YALE COLLEGE MOVED
Village of Saybrook, Where II Was
First Located, Bitterly Fought for
Its Retention.

During our walk we came upon a
bowlder in the middle of field inlaid
with bronze plate which told us that
there was the original site of Yale col
lege. SaybroOk did not see the college
go to New Haven without struggle,
and one of its incidents is piquant to
recall-the famous battle of the col
lege books. In December, 171S, the
trustees, already migrated to New
Haven, desired to remove the college
library, which had been left behind
In Saybrook. But Saybrook refused
to give it up, and so stubbornly that
the governor and council had to come
down from Hartford and set the sher-
If and his assistants to work. These,
however, found the house In which the
books were kept barred and guarded
by ''resolute men," and even after the
sheriff had broken in and placed
guard over the books the book-lovers
of Saybrook did not yet give in. On
the morrow 1t was found that the carts
that were to transport the books had
been disabled, and when others were
procured and start finally made, it
was found that even the bridges along
the road had been destroyed in adj
vance of them! When before or since
has village shown such.a furious pas
sion for learning Richard LIE Gal
lienne in Harper's Magazine.

Iettes and Gronnas. OF our 10000 600
men between the ages Of twenty-one
and thirty.one We have summoned thus
far Gs7, 600 Ia the greatest bill OF
taxation ever accepted 10y any nation, a
measure which 1t is TO be noted is 10

unusual, calling in one year for 1920

We are not TO suppose that by this
levy we exhaust the possibilities OF
taxation. re do that at the beginning
Of war would be suicidal. But lgnor-
ing altogether the normal contr button
which wealth makes TO the common
fund, we have dollars conscripted at
the ratio of Is to 70, while men Of mar.
rowly selected ages have been called
only at the ratio of less than ] in 10.
Examining the War-TaX Bill more
closely, we find that, except for post
age stamp, practically every dollar Of
its 81, G25, 100000 is TO be eXacted from
wealth and luxury. II is estimated
that since 1900 the wealth Of the Unit

Hindu Serpent Charmers.

The power of the Hindu serpent
charmer to detect the presence of the
reptiles in a dwelling house and to
charm" them out of 1t, is far too COM
mon to be made a matter of skepti-
cism. He is often required to do this
In the full light of day, surrounded
by spectators; and incredulous persons
have searched him beforehand; yet his
success has been complete. He as
sumes an air of mystery, strikes the
walls with short stick, whistles,
makes chuckling noise with his
tongue, and spits upon the ground, and
generally says: 81 adjure you by God,
If We be above, or If We be below,
that We come forth. / adjure you by
the most great name; If We be ohedi-
ent, come forth; and If We be disobe-
dent, die! diet die" In all proba-
bilty these charmers are acquainted
with some mysterious physical means
of discovering the presence of serpents
without seeing them, and of attracting
them from their hiding places.

Copyright. 1917, by w. G. Chapman.)
1t was at police station in the heart
of a great city to which the Rev. Alger
Trescom was u visitor, that the young
clergyman in question had his first eX.
perience of the ways of the unfortu'
nate and criminal.
A turnkey had just shown him
through the cells. His sensitive spirit
had awakened with sympathy and sor-
row at what he witnessed. Two pris-
oners, arrested for robbing a man of
SAL, had particularly attracted his at
tention. They were boyish, ingenious
and bright-faced. When he came up
into the courtroom, swayed by an i'm
pulse he could not resist, Mr.. Trescom
had sought out the man who had been
robbed. His little store of money
amounted to less than fifty dollars. 1t
was hard earned and badly needed, but
he had vision of "giving the boys
Il new start" The victim of the rob-
berry agreed to drop the case if his
money were returned.
"No prosecution - prisoners dis
charged" announced the judge a few
minutes later and the surprised crlmi-
nails FASTENED to leave the court room.
Trescom followed them. He was anx-
ious to have an opportunity to show
them the evil of their ways and try to
influence them to mend the same. As
he came outside he saw them convers-
