Herodotus Is the earliest writer to mention It. The Spartans used butter, but as an ointment, and Tlutarch tells how the wife of Peloto rous once received a visit from a Spar tan lady whose presence was Intoler able because she was smeared wltb butter. The Greeks learned of butter from the Scythians, and the Germans showed the Hoinnns how It was made. The Itomnns. however, did not use It for food, but for nnolntlug tbelr bodies. -St Louis Globe Peinocrat. A Militant Qrouoh. "How do you feel this morning?" "Grouchy.

The Mystlo Number About Whloh Csn tered All Their Beliefs. The Peruviana cared nothing for any of the supposed mystic properties of either three, five or seven. To them the four was sacred, and around It they Intwlued the main features of all tbelr religious ceremonies and queer beliefs. They believed the earth to be a square divided Into four parts and suspended from the heavens by four cords, one at each of the four corners. All of tbelr cities were quar tered by four principal streets running from a square In the center. They held four annual feasts In honor of the moon, the "sliver sister of the sun." To them eternity was to be divided Into four periods of time, each com posed of four times 4,000 years, and at the end of each of those cycles the sun was to be blotted out of existence. They prayed to the four winds, or to "ye gods that dwell at the four corner of the earth." To them the rams came from four enormous heavenly turtles that vomited dampness, and the four winds from the lungs of the four gi gantic caryatids which stand at the four cardinal points of paradise. The above are but a small portion of the fours alluded to In the legends of the Incas. OLD SAMOAN MATS. Precious Heirlooms That Are Treas ured by the Natives. Among the curious customs of the Samoans Is that of making heirlooms of mats. By some simple process of reasoulng the mat has come to be iden tified wltb the family, as the hearth stone Is traditionally sacred among the Saxon race. The Samoan mats are really fine specimens of art The people esteem them much more highly than any ar ticle of European manufacture, and the older they are the more they are regarded. Some of them have names known all over the Samoan group. The oldest Is called Moe- Ful-Ful. or "The man that slept among the creep ers." It got this title by reason of the fact that It bad been bidden away for years among the creeping convolvulus that grows wild along the seashore. It Is known to be 200 years old. as the names of Its owners during that pe riod can be traced. The possession of one of these old mats gives the owner great power Id fact. It is a title deed to rank and prop erty, from the Samoan standpoint, says Harper's Weekly. It ts no matter tf the mats are tattered and worn out. Tbelr antiquity Is tbelr value, and for some of the most cherished of tbem large sums of money would be refused. A Bitter Controversy. The Shakespeare-Bacon controversy formed the subject of debate at a well known theatrical school not long ago. On both sides the orators were would be actresses, and pro and con the dis cussion was feminine nnd furious. It seemed at first that the ardent par tisanship of the fair opponents would preclude the possibility of harmonious conclusion. Uut the last speaker. In the nervousness of her Brat public speech, suggested common ground. Ladles." she said, speaking rapidly, "I think there has been much misap prehension as to the real truth of the Baconian theory. I stand ready to show that the great plays we know so well were written not by Shake speare or by Bacon, but by Bacon and Shakespeare In collision!" Amid laughter and applause the de bate .was declared a tie. New York Tribune. Hired Crowns. To economical minds there must be a certain waste Implied In the making of a uew crown for every queeu. 1'et this has been the rule. Queen Alexan dra and gueen Victoria both bad crowns made for tbem, and It was Queen Adeinlde who was the first to rebel against a hired crown. "I will not wear a hired crown, she sold to the minister who was discussing the matter with ber. "Do you think It tight I should r "Madam, the late king (George I V. wore one." "Well, I will not I do not like It 1 have Jewels enough to make one for my self." "In that case," Interposed the king, "they will have to pay for the setting." "No. no." replied Adelaide. I will pay for It all myself." And this was the course adopted. London Chronicle. One Cell Animals.

The first White Hollands are said to have been bred In Holland over a hun dred years go and brought to this country by the thrifty Dutch. They were sports from the original turkeys taken to the old world over 400 years ago and at first were small and deli cate. This made them unpopular with breeders of market turkeys, for a small turkey cuts a poor figure as a Christ mas table centerpiece, so American turkey breeders at once got busy and crossed them with white sports from the Mammoth Bronze, the giants of poultrydom, and this infusion of new blood not only made them hardier, but built tbem to a size very popular at market, as will be seen by the new standard weights for this beautiful va riety: Pounds. Pounds. Cock a Hen U Cockerel 30 Pullet 14 When bred, fed and finished right they often equal the Bronze in Blze. Some urge as objection to this splen did variety that Its color makes the bird a conspicuous mark for hawks. We have bred white, buff and black turkeys, and hawks have caught no more of one variety than another, and we can't see that color makes much difference to a bird of prey with such telescopic sight that it can see a gray mouse in the grass while sailing high in the air It Is yet to be proved also that a white Holland mother turkey can't see Photo l-y C. M. Barnlts a hawk as quickly as the Bronze and fight him off as valiantly. Mr. White Holland ditto. The White Holland is a beauty with Its pure white plumage. Jet black beard, pink U's and feet, red neck and head, graceful shape and magnificent car rlace It makes an attractive carcass, about correct size for general market requirements, free from objectionable dark plnfenthers and the equal of any in Juicy flesh and delicious flavor. FEATHERS AND EGGSHELLS. Australia experiment stations are discarding the trap nest and penning hens that arc tested singly nnd claim to get better and more natural results from this method. It Is the custom of some to give the first feed to thicks In the Incubator. This fouls the machine for the next hatch. It gets a sour smell, nnd suc ceeding eggs do not hatch well. There's an old saying. "Hope defer red mnketh the heart sick." An in vestigation revealed eggs thnt bad been In cold storage for two years. Hope this revelation won't make your stomach sick. A burlap tray, so easily made nnd placed on the Incubator floor before eggs hatch, makes n soft place for chicks to drop nnd saves you scrub bing out the filth where chicks are al lowed to run on the bonrd bottom. An easy wny to tell whether eggs contain live chicks Is to put them Into water heated to 103 degrees. The live eggs float and bob up nnd down, but the dead ones simply flont. By pass Ing each egg before your snoot you can tell the rotten eggs that shoot. The poiiltryman who culls enrly and gets surplus breeders off his hnnds while they are in condition and de liand not only makes room for young stock, lessens his work and saves feed, but has ready money to catch that rash discount when he lays In winter supplies.

A quarter section of cut over land, most of It of the red clay type, was given Jointly by the two counties for use as a branch ex periment station. The state will equip nnd manage the farm, and a foreman from the college will be in charge. Any workers of the college who may re quire the red clay soil in their experi ments will be assigned plots on the farm in question, which is located near Ashland Junction. In addition to the strictly experimental work, the crops will be so planned as to serve as a demonstration to nearby farmers. Meetings will be held each year when the crops ore in the best condition for demonstration purposes. The superin tendent and bis assistants will be at the service of the furmers of the northern part of the state and help them in every way to Improve farming conditions. The land comprising this farm is typical tlmberland, and the same problems will have to be worked out that the homesteader In the sec tion would have on his hands. DIRT AND DISEASE. Many of the diseases that attack farm animals arc traceable to germs that flourish and live from year to year in the litter in and about stables and pens, many of which are In a de cidedly Insanitary condition. Among the germ life flourishing under these conditions are likely to be those of tuberculosis, contagious alortion. na vel disease. lumpy Jaw, hog and calf cholern. while parasites that cause scab, mange nnd itch likewise flourish Where a stable Is In such condition it should be given a thorough cleaning. This should Include not only brushing down cobwebs nnd dust from ceiling nnd walls and n thorough cleaning of the partitions nnd floors, but when this hos been done the interior should be given a coat of whitewash made by adding salt nnd three or four tnhle spoonfuls of carbolic acid to a consid erable quantity of the lime wash. This should be kept stirred nnd may le applied with a broom or long han dled brush, but the Job is more easily and effectivelf done if one has a spray pump such as is used in orchard spray ing operations. Applied in this man ner the solution can be forced Into everv crack and crevice. RATS IN THE JELLY. A reader whose goj wife's Jelly cupboard has Just about leen clean"d out by rats asks the writer what he can do to get rid of the pests. Any person who has had experience In this matter knows that it Is a good deal easier to tell bow to do the job than It Is to actually do it. However, there nro several methods that have gfveu good results. In the line of traps good results can be had with the cace trap, cspe. billy if the whole rat tribe in the Immediate locality can be Inveigled Into it In n night or two. The spring or guillotine trap Is one of the best we have tried and Is the more effec tive if the bait used is tied to the tongue of the trap. There are several rat poisons on the market which do j the business If used according to di rections, while nn excellent, slow working poison Is made by mixing one part of barytes with el;lit or nine parts of cornuiesl nnd adding enough wetting to give n stiff dough. Small quantities of this should N placed In the runways of the rats, out of reach of poultrv or other creatures.
