Goats Milk Is Favored,

Everyone who is at all acquainted
with the milk goat knows of the value
of the milk for infants and invalids'
use-one of the first points about the
milk goat that presents itself, asserts
a writer. The goat is practically free
from tuberculosis. According to the
annual reports of the bureau of animal
industry %. So, covering federal in
spection of animals slaughtered for
food, there We're inspected during the
eight years, 1907 to 1914, inclusive,
579,617 goats, of which not single
animal was condemned for tubercu-
losis. This fact alone should be the
strongest argument in favor of the
milk of the goat. The cream globules
of the milk of the goat are smaller
than those of cows milk, and because
of fhis milk being condensed the cream
globules are contained in a more per-
feet state of emulsion than the cows
milk. An argument in favor of ster-
iliZed milk is that authorities agree it
is actually more easily digested than
is the fresh milk, this referring to
goats and cows milk alike.

Field Crons of Canada.

The census and statistics office has
issued its preliminary estimate of the
total value of the field crops of Can
ada for the past year, as compared
with the finally revised estimates of
1916 and 1915. The estimated values
for 1917 represent the prices received
by farmers and are calculated from
current market quotations. According
to this preliminary estimate, the tnSal
value of all field crops for 1917 is
placed at $10S9, 6S7, 900, as compared
with $3.50, 494, 900 in 1916 and SS25,37O,-
600 in 1915. The items making up this
total are as follows: Wheat, S451,-
$4,000; oats, 1926, $4,000; hay, clover,
and alfalfa, S145.561, 600; potatoes,
Ss1,355, 600; other grain crops, S134,-

In the year 1916 the crops were

Pioneers Lived on Corn.

We ought to be proud Of corn. The
corn-fed critter, human and otherwise,
always has been strong, vigorous and
Of high vitality.
In serving corn dishes on its dining
cars the Southern Pacific railway dis
tributes small card giving recipes
and other interesting information, as
follows:
"The government desires that wheat
be used as sparingly as possible and
that corn be substituted.
America was pioneered on corn !;
the Pilgrim Fathers almost lived on
it. Corn was the first crop planted in
all the virgin soil as it was settled,
from the Atlantic out across the Allie
ghenies; upon the broad prairies, and
beyond.

Crop and Drug Plants.

One of the projects outlined by the
committee on botany of the national
research council is the search for wild
plants which may be used as wartime
substitutes for the more costly crop
plants. During the Civil war DR.. John
Porcher, a Southerner, published
book giving list of plants of the
South which could be substituted for
much-needed food and drug plants. 1t
Is suggested that information might be
obtained from hunters, trappers,
woodsmen, farmers, Indians and the
foreigners, who pick up considerable
food from the countryside. Similar in
formation is desired concerning plants
that can be used In medicine.

German Schooling.

German schooling has proved ant
onistfc to cooperation, although de-
manding unity of action through mass
obedience. 1t has failed to foster real
cooperation, for cooperation Is q
method by which persons OF their own
volition and by no compulsion may
work together tremendously, writes
Winthrop Talbot in lie Century Maya
zine. Only when training and school
ing are the common privilege OF all Is
that state Of civic development posi-
BILE which permits society to become CO.
operative in its action. In other words,
a socialized society becomes more and
more possible only as all individual
members acquire each the widest
vision, and thus the power to cooper
ate tremendously.

Antiquity Of Jerusalem.

The wonderful antiquity of Jerusa-
lem has only been appreciated in re-
cent years. Up to so years ago, OBJ
serves the Chicago Examiner. 1t was
thought that Jerusalem was of little
Importance as city until 1t became
the "City of David" king Of Israel.
But with the discovery Of the Tel-el-
Amarna tablets in Egypt new light
was shed upon the history of the sa-
cred city. There were found six letters
written by the king of Jerusalem to
the Pharaoh Of Egypt. dating from the
fifteenth century B. c. The name of
this king Of Jerusalem was Abd-hlba,
or, as some scholars read the cunei-
form, Abd-sadak, and he writes to the
Pharaoh beseeching him to send SOL
diers, almost as the Turks must have
sent messages to Germany asking for
re-enforcements that they might save
the day.

The Mystery Of Love.

Love is the great mystery of life,
lit may be the growth of years, months
or an instant. says the Christian Her
aid. Man sees a million beautiful
faces; he hears a million sweet voices !;
he meets a million women with flowers
lat their breasts and light in their eyes
end they do not touch him. Then he
sees the ore, and she holds him for
life and death. She is no nobler, bet
ter or more beautiful than were those
| he passed by, and yet his world Is
empty without her. Assuredly there
is far more than fashion In this uni.
yersal force we call love.

HAVE APPETITE FOR PRAISE
Everybody Graves Words of Approval
and Communicated of the Time
Iy Kind Attention.

1t Is human frailty to want praise.
We begin young to crave the approx
ing notice of others. "There is none
like to me-" says the cub in the pride
of his earliest kill. But the jungle is
large, and the cub he is small; let him
think and be still" Children brought
up in school can generally be told
from those who have been trained sol
itarily, says a writer in the Philadel-
phia Ledger, for the children thrown
much with other children are less like
~ to develop arrogance, selfshness
and conceit. They do not find their
Schoolmates in frame of mind to put
them on a pedestal or crown their
brows with laurel. They are not re-
garded as little tin gods on wheels;
they are lost to sight in the shuttle of
the classroom and the playground. No
body defers to their opinions; nobody
minds when they stamp the foot and
shout angrily.
Children of a larger growth often
crave an admiration which they do not
get They think to draw an audience
by harping on the theme of self, and
they find that the audience for that
kind of recital is likely to be limited
to the performer. To knock the ''I'
out Of ones conversation is not neces-
sarily to make it interesting. Many
times a narrative loses greatly in pith
and pungency by the impersonality In
which it is couched. A story of adven-
ture greatly gains by the sense of the
hand participation of the narrator
in the incidents he describes. When
the first person is introduced for the
sake of the edification Of the reader,
there need be no apology; when it is
introduced for the glorification of the
speaker, it is odious altogether.
A man must do his work as well as
he can, whether he is praised for it or
not. Yhe taste of publicity is likely to

The Crow.

1t is not exactly pride; there is no
strut or swagger IN it, though perhaps
