FOR FLETCHER'S
Q ASTO r I ~
SAYINGS OF WISE MEN.

There should be no selfish devotion
to private interests. We are born
not for. ourselves only but for our
kindred and fatherland. We owe du-
ties not only to those who have bene-
fitted but those who have wronged us.
We should render to all their due;
and justice is due to even the lowest
of mankind.-Cicero.
Do the best you can where you are
and when this is accomplished God
will open door TO higher sphere.
-Beecher
There is no other conceivable pri-
walton to be compared with an ignor-
ance of our Creator.-Mann.
To live long it is necessary to live
slowly.-Cicero.
God gives all things to industry
Franklin.
1t is well to thing WE'LL it is divine
to act well.-Young.
The world exists for the education
of each man.-Emerson.
1t is the belief of mankind that we
shall all live forever. This is not
the doctrine of Christianity alone;
the Greeks and Romans believed ii
long before Christ. The idea Of i'm
morality is born in us, and the high
er we advance in wisdom, goodness
and piety the larger the place it holds
in our experience and inward life
Parker.

Surface Limestone.
(Inland Farmer)

r. l.. S., of Kentucky, writes as
follows: will you please tell me if
surface limestone is suitable for
grinding and applying to land. Can
this rock be burned into lime? If so,
how do you prepare the kiln? / have
lots of this surface rock and would
like to use it if possible, as our north
land" needs lime.
i imagine that your surface rock
would be perfectly satisfactory for
grinding or burning. Knock off a
piece about the size of hickory nut
from a dozen rocks and send to me,
and will test the purity of the rock
1t will require considerable coal to
burn lime for agricultural uses and at
present price of coal, burning would
be many times as expensive as grind
ing. The burned lime is not as de-
.sirable, either, as the ground lime
stone for applying to land

that mechanical pressure applied i'm
mediately after silo filling increased
the keeping quality of silage and i'm
proved its feeding value. By this
system the air is largely forced out
at once and it was found that it
yielded fodder whose acid content
was 20 per cent Tactic acid and 90 per
cent acetic acid, proportions reversed

This prdonces a silage containing les /;

Farm Bureaus Have Reading Circles.

Farm Bureaus Have Reading Circles.
Recent reports from the West Vir-
ginia extension service indicate that
ANY prejudice against book farming"
which exists is fast losing ground in
that State where last year so farm
ers' clubs with a membership of more
than 500 farmers devoted the win
ter months to defnate study of
some of their more difficult farm
problems at reading circles held regu-
larry throughout the season. These
winter reading circles are becoming
more popular in the State and fully
100 clubs with a membership of at
least $500 farmers are pursuing
some one of the several reading
courses offered by the State extension
department this year. The county
agents are very active in this work,
organizing farm bureaus and local
community clubs and stimulating
greater interest in the reading circles
in their localities. Subjects such as
soil fertility, farm crops, animal hus-
bandry, horticulture, and farm man
agement are being studied.

Wisconsin dairymen and farmers.
DESTROYS of increasing their profits
and adding still greater honors to
their already famous dairy State.
have Joined in a Statewide campaign
to eliminate the scrub bull and use
only pure-bred sires. The record
made last year in Brown county Cow
Testing Association typifes the mer-
its of pure-bred bulls and illustrates
why farmers and dairymen will not
tolerate the scrub. In this associa-
ton IL cows qualified for the register
of production. All of these cows
were daughters of bure-bred sires,
six of them being daughters of one
sire The five best herds in the AS
ISOLATION are headed by pure-bred
sires, while the five poorest herds are
all headed by grade or scrub sires.
The herds of those farmers who used
pure-bred sires averaged SIS pounds
more fat a COW than those using
grades or scrubs. Last year eight of
the members purchased pure-bred
sires of known breeding to replace
their scrubs.

THE. PRINCESS RING.

Once upon time there was king who
had three beautiful daughters.
The king was very fond of hunting
and for this purpose would every day
take his whole court off to the plains to
camp for months.
One frostyO tober day the king started
out alone in the chase. Atnoon, as he was
weary, he lay himself down to nap, and
when he awoke a creature was bending
ow over his face. II had the roug h out
lines of man. but the head was that of
wild boar. The king started to his feet
DO not fear, King said the creature
In sad voice. Il will not harm you.
Ii YOU are lost ! will show you the path
ii YOU will grant my request
Il am very grateful to you for your
kindness" replied the king. "And |
will be glad in return to grant any wish in
my power
So following the strange figure, the king
was led safely to a spot from which he
could see his guards vainly seeking TO
find him. As they paused, the creature
noticed a golden cham around the king $
neck, and hanging ON it a ring and a lockct.
Il would like to see the picture the
locket contains" the odd-looking person
asked of the king. He gave cry of de-
light. for the portrait it contained was one
of the lovely Princess Ruby, a girl who
was as good as she was beautiful.
This is my youngest daughter, Ruby,
said the king and this Is her ring, too. p"
THAT is well, exclaimed the creature,
"for have fallen in love with her already.

bride and the ring now as token OF the
pledge.
With terror showing in every line Of his
face, the king gave the ring which belong
ed to his daughter. Then he FASTENED
home. He burst into tears when he broke
the sad news. The queen walled and
the two older daughters wept. But
Ruby did not shed tear.

will go do my duty.
BY noon the next day Ruby was gone.
Alone she went to the spot where her
father had last hunted. Presently out
of the bushes came the creature. Ruby
shrank at the sight and she saw tears of
sadness falling from his eyes.
II am the Princess Ruby" she said.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, Nov. Storm conditions
likely to hold back the crop movement
led today to fresh ADVANCES in the
corn market. UnAasiness over the coal
strike and the Mexican situation
tended also to put bears At Z dis
advantage. What selling there came
mostly from holders who wished to
realize profits. Opening prices. which
varied from the same a yesterdays
finish to ! Ia cents higher, with De-
'cember $1.37 to lbs and May $l.a3
to 1888 Ia, were followed by material
gains all around. al
Oats were relatively easy. For the
most part trade was Of. 1 local char
>acter. After opening unchanged to
Ia to 6-SScent lower including Mas
at 771-4 to II 3-8 cents, the market
scored q slight advance.
Heavy curtailment Of lard ship
ments had q bearish effect ON provi-
sions. Higher quotations on corn and
hogs failed to check weakness.
In the last hour q sharp setback
took place as a result Of sudden heavy
selling through commission houses.
The closing was weak, 8-8 to &c net
lower. with December l.35 Ia to 1856
Ia and May 100 3-4 to 1.31. :
