Hr Patriotic Protest.
The force of natural and Instinctive
pride In one's country has been end-
lesslv expressed in literatures of all
time and cllmea. but rarely more dra
matically than In the following little
Incident:

though It bns been the fashion of lest

One of the moat Indefatigable of these
detractors was the German composer

ous nutnre.
One day one of bis pupils, a Norwe

other rooms. Thcu prepare a number

Look After the Sheep.
We hear much said about tbe good
that aheep do clearing up pastures.
But there la such a thing as overdoing
It. Don't starve your sheep for the
sake of trimming up a brush lot
If pasturoa are short give a grain
ration every day In tbe field.
Put alats across the trough to keep
the sheep from fouling It with their
feet
Give your aheep plenty of trough
room, so that they will not push and
crowd each other,
The breeding ewes should be kept
strong and thrifty. ,
Gcuerous aud Judicious feeding and
care mean satisfactory profits In aheep
raising.
No animal responds more generously
to gentle care than a sheep.
Bough, etony pastures will often
cause lumcuess In aheep.
Examine the feet for tufts of grass
wedged betweeu tbe toes. These will
cause lameness.
At the damp days of fall come on
get your aheep out on the higher
ground. They will be healthier and do
better.
Cooling the Milk.
The cooling of milk is considered to
be the most important point. Ihe ad
vantage of cooling is that It prevents
the growth of bacteria and organisms
which are apt to develop bad flavors
in the milk. There are two ways or
cooling milk. One is by tbe maximum
of exposure to tbe air, and the other
la by the minimum exposure to we
air. The first method has tins ad
vantage, that you cool milk quickly.
The Horse' Teeth.
Examlue tho horse's teeth frequent

horses lose flesh aud are In poor health
simply because their teeth are too un

THE PLEBEIANS.
Their Secession From Rom and Their
Rise te Power.
Plebeians were tbe commons of
Rome, who were originally -forbidden
all political rights. They were for the
most part por and were not aiiowea
to Intermarry with the patricians
Thev served In tbe army without pay
and were sold luto slavery for dent
and could even be cut Into pieces for
distribution among their creditors.
Eluding their condition Intolerable.
the plebeian In 497 B. C seceded to
Moua Sacer, near Rome, where tbey
resolved to build a new city. But this
step bo alarmed the privileged classes
that they granted to the commons the
right of annually choosing rrom their
own numbers two magistrates, called
tribune, with power to protect them
against tbe aggressions of tbe patricians.
After tlte lapse of about 200 years
the disabilities of the plebeians were
almost entirely removed, nnd between
tho ytsira 350-300 B. C. they secured
the dictatorship, the censorship aud
the praetorshlp as well as the rli;ht to
be iKintlff aud augur. Thus tlie Ro
man republic, After two centuries of
existence, finally secured a democratic
form of covernment. New loru

Sweat and Parspir.
It Is possible to tell almost exactly
when the more clegnnt "perspire
drove out the vulgar "sweat." Ac
cording to a writer in the London Gen
tlenmu'a Magazine In 1701. "for some
time past neither man, woman nor
child lu Great Britain nnd Ireland of
any rank or fashion has been subject
to the gross form of exudation which
was formerly known as xweat' Now
every mortal, except carters, coal
heavers and chairmen, merely 'per
spires.' For these twenty years past
the word 'sweat' has been gradually
becoming more and more odious."
Before 1770 or so "perspiration"
commonly meant an Insensible process.
"sweating" the grosser variety there
of, lu one of his sermons Wesley re
marked that "during a night's sleep a
healthy man perspires one part In four
less when he sweats than when he
does not." That would be meaning
less tmlay.
BULLS OF EQUALITY.
It I Money Well Spent In Buying a
Good Sir.
A good many men tell tbewvaelve
very year that tbe next bull tbey buy
will be a much better on than they
ever bought before. Tbl Is Indeed a
good resolve, and It Is one of tbe first
sign of progress. But so often these
resolve are left at borne or lose Ibelr
Influence when It comes to .the act of
buying, and the temptation to save a
few dollars by buying a cheap bull la
yielded to. In wbicb case bope for any
material Improvement Id the succeed
ing crop of calve mast be left behind.
The Influence of a good sire" we feeL
will bear repeating often, and we beg
to quote from "The Business of Dairy
ing," as follows:
Let u follow up this matter and
see what a good sire la really worth to
a dairyman. With tbe first progeny the
male has furnished bslf tbe qualities,
provided tbe parents are equally pre
potent But tbe cow baa but one calf a
year, while tbe bull may have sired all
the calve In tbe herd, if It I of ordi
nary size and If be to a strong Individ
ual of good type tbe chances are that
be will be more prepotent than tbe
cow, particularly If It Is a grade herd.
His Influence then will be at mack and
possibly more tbsn all tbe cows In tbe
bcrd taken together. With each gener
ation of calves tbe Improvement In
creases, and tbe good qualities become
more finely fixed, while the defects
from the dam decrease, and in time
tbe bull may become practically the
whole herd. - - , -
If be baa been well bred an his In
fluence has been good It la possible for
tbe sire to be tbe mean of more tban
doubling tbe production and bence tbe
profits of tbe herd. Looking at this
from a business standpoint then, tbe
evidence is clear thSt the most careful
attention should be given to tbe selec
tion of the sire. His ancestry Is of
even more Importance than that nf the

cornea from a good milking strain. He
should be pure bred In order that his
characteristics may be well fixed and
consequently have more influence tban
grade dam. He should show vigor
and good individual type. Sucb a sire
need not cost more tban one-tenth of
the grade herd which he beads, yet he
may have the most influence In the Im
provement of the herd.
Indeed, the pure bred sire or good
Individual merit costs more than a
grade and for reasons that should be
evident to every thinking person. As
a general proposition it costs from
two to three times as much o grow
a bull as It doea to grow a steer.. In
short, it takes more feed and better
care.
Needless to say, a good aire Is a
pure bred sire. A aire of any other
description should never be used If It
is the hope to make any progress In
Improving the herd. A goou many
men bave been led to believe that a

Car With Angora Buck.
Care should be taken in feeding the
bucks. Don't overfeed them, says
Wool Markets and Sheep. One pint
of corn or wheat at a feeding la suffi
cient, with plenty of hay and rough
age. If overfed they are liable to be
come foundered.
, . Fattening Hog.
It Is a good rule in fattening bogs
never to feed quite as much as they
want or not enough so they will waste
any. They will take the next feed,
better and do better. At the same
time be sure to keep pens and sleep-
lug quarters well cleaned out.
Feed For Colts.
The colt should have a variety of
feeds, so that It may build up tbe. va
rious tissues of its body. Clover hay
and wheat bran contain necessary min
eral matter for tbe building of bone.
Flaxseed meal in small quantities Is
good for keeping the colfs bowels In
