The Oklahoma legislature is con
sidering a measure that will prevent
the carrying of revolvers at religious
services by anyone except the minister.
It may be supposed to be the idea of
the law-makers that If the minister
should succeed in making converts In
that country they should start them im
mediately on the road to future happi
ness.—Cedar Rapids Gazette.
A London dispatch says that the an
nual report of the recruiting depart
ment of the British army shows that 49
out of every 1,000 recruits are utterly
illiterate and that but 49 out of every
1,000 are described as well educated. It
is much different In the army of the
United States. Iowa alone sent over
5,000 men to the front in the Spanish
American war, and there was not one
of them who could not at least read and
write, and at least one-half of them
were well educated. Nearly every state
in the union has an equally good re
cord.—Des UoineB Register.
1
Tying knots in the handkerchief to
jog one's memory had Its origin in
China thousands of years ago. Before
writing was invented in thBt country,
which did not happen until 3,000 B. C.,
memorable and important events were
recorded by long knotted cords. The
most ancient history of China is still
preserved aB told by these knots. When
Emperor Tschang Ki invented writing
the entire system of "knotting" was
abandoned. And to-day the memory
knots made by us in handkerchiefs are
the pnly surviving descendants of that
ancient custom.—N. Y. Herald.
Direct, county school and municipal
taxes in Iowa aggregate $10 per capita.
If we include indirect taxes that are
paid in the form of licenses, fees, etc.
the total contributions per capita Ib pro
bably in tbe neighborhood of $15. The
total appropriation of the present con
gress have been $1,600,000,000, distri
buted over two years, making the total
per person per year, if tbe population is
$80,000,000, $10 per capita. The total
average tax thus paid by Iowa is about
$25 per capita, or $125 for each average
family of five. These figures will be
startling to many.—Des Moines Leader.
There Js a great lack of justice or
even common Bense in many of the laws
that are inflicted on the people of this
country. For instance, a boy born in
this country is not allowed to vote un
til he is twenty-one years old—but he
can be pressed into war to stop ballets
in order to increase the bonded debt as
soon as he is eighteen years old. And
again the poor man can have a distress
warrant issued against his humble be
longings to pay an unjust tax, while
the Supreme court declares that theleh
robber must be exempt as an Income
tax is illegal and cannot be collected.—

Tha best way to build a thriving
town is for all men to pull together and
not strive to rend and pull down. All
the residents of a town'are partners and
not opponents. In all likelihood tbe
more business done by your rival the
more you will do.—Every 'merchant
who treats his customers honestly and
fairly will get his share, and tbe more
business that can be secured by united
efforts the better it will be for all.
When a town ceases to grow it com
mences to die, and the more people try
to kill each other off in business and
good name, the more rapidly will utter
ruin come tb all. Stand together for
the advancement of every citizen, anf
if a man shows the ability' to prosper,
do not pull back with jealousy or
weight him down with cold indiSer
ence.—Estherville Democrat.
Clark, tbe new senator from Montana,
is worth $30,000,000. Of course he is a
free silverite. He used to go to coun
try school down in VanBuren county.
He put in three months in school and
nine months on a farm. He entered the
college at Mt. Pleasant when a young
man and put in two years' faithful
work, until be ran out of funds.
He then went down into Missouri,
where he taught country school. When
the gold excitement broke out in the
west he "joined the procession," took a
claim, made $1,500 the first year, went
into the Mercantile business, Btuck to it
until immensely rich, and then opened
a bank in Montana. They do say that
he earned his $30,000,000 honestly. He
has traveled in Europe, can talk four
languages, is a fine judge of art, and
has one of the finest art treasures in the
country, lie owns 32,000 acres of cof
fee land in Mexico, copper mines in
Arizona, great cattle ranches in Mon
tana, silver mines in a dozen different
sections, banks by the dozen, and Bever
al eastern manufacturing plants. All
these things came to the boy who spent
his early days on an Iowa farm!

In the report- of the warden of the
Anamosa penitentiary the statement is
made that some time ago all tinkering
was stopped in the cells of prisoners,
and a dozen wagon loads of plunder
taken out. There were grindstones,
saws, chisels, files, vises, anvils, ham
mers, boxes, shells and Bhell work, etc.,
an enormous quantity of these articles
used by convicts in manufacturing var
ious articiea on their own account. At
the same time $800 in cash and numer
ous watches and jewelery were taken
from the convicts and they were credit
ed with the same, which they will re
ceive when they are discharged. All
newspapers and all sensational litera
ture are now excluded from theconvicts.
All these things have greatly improved
the dislpllne, it is claimed, and tne re
moval of the private manufacturing
concerns had, in the language of Deputy
Warden Gurley, "effected an end of the
scratching, screeching noise that infest
ed the cell house." Convicts who are
employed in Bhops are occasionally al
lowed, as an extra privilege, to do work
on their on account in their cells when
not otherwise employed, but not to ex
ceed ten enjoy this privilege. Not an
able bodied-man in prison is now idle.

Patience With the Living.
Sweet friend, when thou and I are gone
Beyond earth's weary labor,
When small shall be our need of grace
From comrade or from neighbor
Passed all tbe strife, the toll, the care,
And done with all the sighing—
What tender truth shall we have gained,
Alas! by simply dying?
Then Hps too chary of their praise
Will tell our merits over, ,l
And eyes too swift our faultB to see
Shall no defect discover.
Then hands that would not lift a stono
Where stones were thick to cumber
Our steep hill path, will scatter tlowers
Above our pillowed slumber.
Sweet friends, perchance both thou and I,
Ere love is past forglvlog,
Should take the earnest lesson home—
Be patient with the living.
To-day's repressed rebilke nay save
Ourbllndfug tears to-morrow
Then patience, e'en when keenest edge .. v..
May whet a nameless sorrow!
'Tls easy to be gentle when
Death's silence shames our clamor,
And easy to discern the best
Through memory's mystic glamour
But wise it were for thee and me,
Ere love is past fogiving,
To. take the tender lesson home—
Be patient with the living.

DAISY SCHOOL NOTES.
Succew of Daiy School Graduate.—
Pasteurized Cream,
Let me Bay quite a number of those
who have registered are young men
who are starting ia life as hired men on
farms and who have earned the money
as such which will pay their
expenses here
iiis winter. Judging from past experi
ence, these young men are investing their
hard- earned dollars where tbey will
bring rUrger rati of "interest than is
ptasible lb' any other direction. If a
young man who has to earn his way in
the world wishes to get ahead and is
bound to be a good farmer, we can help
him here at this school more than in
any way I can think of.
Let me show how our students are
appreciated. Last fall a prize of $50
was offered by the Waukesha County
Agricultural society to that herd of
Cows showing by actual test the high
est yield of butter fat. ThiB most
worthy prize was won by a good Wau
keska county farmer who was employ
ing qne of our students and a student
from the Michigan Agricultural college
as farmhands, and this kind hearted
man gave the whole prize money to the
two young students, because he said he
•would have not have won it bad they
not had charge of his herd and taken an
interest in hiB cows. Indeed he said he
never thought of trying to compete for
the prize until they urged him to do so.
Let me say, further, that the herds of
Waukesha county competing for this
prize were all tested by Mr, Gernon
Bullard, another of our students.
During the past summer we have
been selling pasteurized cream and
milk in the city of Madison, the pre
paration of the same being under the
direct charge ot Dr. H. L. liuBsell, bac
teriologist for our station. Some
months ago I predicted that if pasteur
ization was a practical success, in a short
time the consumption of cream in our
cities would be quadrupled, and that
the dairy business would be consider
ably enlarged through this factor. 1
am pleased to say that our pasteuriza
tion experiments have proved a great
success, and that we are supplying a
goodly number of families in Madison
regularly with pasteurized cream.
Under the old system, supplying cream
is an uncertain practice. Sometimes
the cream supplied the customer is
thick and sometimes thin. Sometimes
it keeps well and again it is sour ai
most as soon as delivered. Our pas
teurized cream is analyzed and made of
a certain per cent of richness, so that
customers know each time just what
they are getting in that particular.
Then by being pasteurized it will keep
at least a week at this Beason of the
year, so that a family getting a bottle
of cream can use from it at pleasure
until it is gone. Having cream always
in the house, that which was at first a
luxury grows to become a necessity, for
every one likes cream in some form for
some purposes.—Professor \V. A.
Henry, Wisconsin Agricultural College,
in Hoard's Dairyman.
Saltfor Oows.
Cows will do much better with salt
constantly before them. There is a dif
ference in the churning of the cream,
and the product is much better.
Like the Pasture.
The aim should be to give cows as
nearly as possible the same food that
they had when out in pasture. One
of the best ways of doing this is by
cooking the grain and steaming the hay.

UGLY BULLS.
Let Them Work the Tread Power
Every Day.
Ex Mayor W. L. Hunter, of Cumber
land, Wis., was recently nearly gored
to death by a Jersey bull on bis stock
farm near that city. Hardly a week
passes, says Hoard's Dairyman, that we
do not read of similar instances. The
other day a neighbor who had a fine
Jersey Bull found that he had broken
out of the stable and had literally torn
a heavy gate and a barn door in flin
ders. It was with difiiculty that the
animal was finally got into the stable.
The^mer" never even put a ring in his
nose. Some men exercise an lalmost
criminal indifference and truBt ih their
bulls only to wake up to the fatal error
when It is everlastingly to late.
It is no wonder that the bull gets
ugly. Any man of average spirit, shut
up as a bull is, in nine cases out of ten
would become frantic with rage. The
bull should have plenty of exercise both
for the sake of his health and his cer
tainty as a stock getter. No better way
on earth has ever been devised to tame
an ugly bull, keep him in good health
and teach him proper subjection than
to put him on a tread power aii hour
everyday. Any dairyman with 15 or
20 cows should be provided with a good
tread power and a feed cutter. They
will pay a big profit in the cutting of
all the coarse fodder, and if the owner
has a silo then they will come all the
more into play. But, whether there is
anything to cut or not, put the bull on
the power every day and give him his
exercise.
It will make him good tempered, doc
ile and useful. All bulls are apt to
have a strong, highly organized temper,
ment. If they become inclined to be
ugly, then we send them to tbe stock'
yard. Half of the bulls in the country
are sold before the owner knows what
is the quality of their breeding power.
This is wrong and opposed to good
dairy sense. With the daily exerciBea
in the tread power the bull can be kept
to 10 or more years of age if he proves
to be a valuable sire of dairy cows,
The Balm reached me safely and the
effect is surprising. My son says the
first application gave decided relief.

A Brazilian Indian Storr.
Here is a Brazilian Indian story, says
the New York TimeB. The jaguar and
tho moukey met. The jaguar had a lus
cious buuoh of plantains whioh the
moukey ornved. "I will gladly give you
the plantuinB," said the jaguar, "pro
viding you catch a fawn for me."
"Agreed," cried the monkey. "But,
added tho jaguar, "if.yon don't get the
fawn you must proniieo to let me bite a
mouthful out of you." "Agreed," onoe
rnoro oried the gleeful monkey. The
moukey ate tho plantains, and the little
mutter about the fawn quite slipped his
mouiory.
Then one day tbe jaguar met the
moukey and insisted on taking his pay
out of the moukey's hide. The business,
becoming serious, was left to tbe peo
oari to decide. "It seems all right
enough," said the pecoari, "only this:
How am I to determine what is the ex
aot size of a jagnur's mouthful and also
where is he to bite? He bad better refer
tho matter to the big snake." The big
snake took the subject under considera'
tiou. His judgment was that he would
havo to swallow tbe jaguar, themonkey
and the peccari. The jaguar and pecoari
he did at onoe assimilate, but the mon
key, being nimble, eBoaped.

to see whether we have made progress,
or, on tbe other hand, have been going
backward. Is your herd any better
than it was a year ago Is your pro
duct in better demand on account of
improvement in quality?
Breeding for Twin.,
Mr. Lewis Bidwell, a farmer In Sidney
Centre, Delaware county, N. Y., has
the opportunity to develop a herd of
cows which will pretty uniformly bear
twins and, other things being equal,
would be more valuable than ordinary
cattle. Three years ago one of his
young cows bbre twins and has done so
every since. Its first calves were heif
ers and one of these has been bred and
has borne twins. Probably in these
last the twin bearing tendency will be
so well developed that it will become
hereditary. Or, if we follow the old
story, how the patriarch Jacob develop
ed ring streaked calves from cows of
solid color by placing striped willow
wands before the watering places of the
cattle, it may be possible to secure oc
casional pairs of twins among cattle
that have not been bred to tbe practice
of twin hearing. When the cows are
mating, ler. one of his cows that has
just mated with the bull see another
cow with twin calves by her side. When
a few cows with twins are thus devel
oped, it will be easy to increase their
number. The cow has much imagin
ation and it is particularly active at
mating time. But to secure twins the
cow should be in vigorous health, so
that she will pass two receptacles from
her ovaries when she is in heat. It is
only the cows that do this that can brar
twin calves. There are germs enongh
in the speematozoa of the bull to create
100 calves at each impregnation provid
ed there are eggs enough in the womb,
to be fertilized. But this double breed
ing will not exhaust the cow if Bhe is
well fed and cared for, nor will it short
en her breeding period, for that is made
shorter rather in cowb that are not al
lowed to breed at all.—Boston Cultiva

FARMERS,
Why Not Sow Wheat This Spring?
Th? time is near at hand when
you should begin seeding. The
wheat question has not received
the attention the past- few years
that it should. There is a large
demand for good wheat the year
round, and a number of farmers
were fortunate in sowing a few
acres of wheat last season, with a
good yield, which brought them a
Bnug sum of money.
It pays to sow wheat aid there
is no reason why you cannot sow
a few bushels and be well paid for
it. We are quite anxious to have
lots of wheat sown this year, and
have therefore made arrange
ments for a car of choice spring
seed wheat, which we will let go
at cost in order to further the in
terest in the matter. Think this
over and, if possible, put a few
acres into wheat.
