Facto Prom a Skillful Fa.mer,
Uncle John Patterson, the noted
dairy farmer, of Kirksville, Mo., and
ex-president of the dairy association of
that state, has been made the subject of
an extended write-up with illustrations
by Ed. J. Ohubbuck, in the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
Mr. Patterson is a Swede who
came to this county but a few years ago
with only £100, and unable to speak
English. Mow he has 700 acres or land,
and milks ninety cows. There are
some very excellent points in this
write-up, for they are instructive In
showing how the man himself has
worked out the problem of successful
dairying:
Mr, Patterson's line dairy farm is lo
cated seven miles east of the city of
Kirksville. At the present lime Mr.
Patterson is milking ninety cows, mak
ing from 350 to 400 pounds of butter a
week This is put up in one-pound
prints and sold to one dealer In Kirks
ville. The local dealer sells every
pound of this butter in Kirksville,
Aside from the butter, he Bells on an
average about 85 worth of buttermilk
a week, thus making his weekly iii
come from the dairy about $75, or $300
a month. It might be well to add here
that Mr. Patterson's cash receipts for

The day before the bond purchases
were made, when Secretary Gage was
leaving the White House after a cabinet
meeting, he said to a group of news

again begins, and by 7:15 all the work
about the dairy and stable is done, and
every man has the evening to himself.
Mr. Patterson's saccess as a dairyman
is due in great measure to the fact that
he thoroughly studies the feed question.
"The longer work with my cowb,"
said he, "the more I study how to se
cure good feed that is cheap enough.
Dry corn, wheat bran and good hay
cost too much, and don't produce a
large enough flow of milk." Last fall
he erected a large stave silo, thirty feet
deep and twenty-four feet in diameter
with a capacity of 275 tons, ThiB bIIo
was erected at a cost of S350, hut It
proved to be such a "money saver" and
"milk producer" that he will build an
other one nearly as large this fall. He
is giving the cow pea a thorough trial

In peas and ten acres in soy beans. Last
fall when he filled his silo, he put in a
few loads of corn and then a few loads
of peas. The corn and peas were run
through a cutter and elevated by means
of a carrier to the top of the silo and
dropped down and then thoroughly
packed in. He fed about one bushel of
ibis feed a day to each cow. He makes
tbe olaim that this made tbe cheapest
and best cow feed he ever handled, the
cows making better returns during the
past winter than ever before.
A Sharp Swindler*
A fashionable young lady not long
ago drove up in a handsome carriage
to" a private lunatic asylum, situated a
few miles from Paris, and requested to
see tue proprietor. Her wish being
acceded to. she informed the doctor
that she desired to place her husband
under bis care to see If a cruel mania,
under which he labored—viz, "that he
had lost a large quantity of Jewels"—
could not be removed.
After some hesitation the doctor con
sented, and the lady drove away di
rectly to a jeweler's In Paris and se
lected jewels to the value of several
thousand francs and requested one of
the shopmen to go with her In her car
riage to procure the money for the
goods she bad taken. She drove with
him to the asylum, and, arriving there,
he was shown into a room.
Tbe lady then sought the doctor, told
him of tbe arrival of her husband, and
getting into her carriage again drove
away. The rest may be imagined, but
the poor fellow was confined several
days before it was found they both had
been "sold." The lady was never heard
of after.

The simple plau of bathing the eyes
with cold water every night at bed*
time and the first thiug on getting up
in the morning will make the eyes
both clear and bright. The applica

the numerous little blood vessels which
surround the eyes to circulate freely,
and in consequence the eyes will be

Tea Drinking.
Tea drinking was regarded as one of
the feminine vices of a hundred years
ago. The Female Spectator of that pe

more to support than would maintain

good housewifry and the source of
