A pleasing manner is an important

upon first impressions, and these are
favorable or unfavorable according to
whether a man is polite and courteous
or brusque and nervous in bearing.
We cannot always Judge a man by
what he says or does, but the way In
which he says or does a certain thing
will prove the best index to his char

help a man to success in business,
where a boorish, Impatient manner
will turn away customers. , The

TO MAKE SWINE PROFITABLE
Beginner Will Do Well by Adopting
One Breed, Standing by It and -Work
for Improvement.
With the number of excellent
breeds of swine from which any one
at the present day may make a choice
it Is a waste of time for a breeder to
undertake to create a strain of bis
own by crossing the Chester White
on the Poland China pig, although
there are some instances where this
has been done with pronounced suc
cess. The beginner will do better by
adopting one breed, standing by it
and working for Improvement in the
family rather than in the, race. A
man with even limited capital may
be able to get a good start by know
ing what to purchase. Excellent
young sowp bred for fall ; or spring
farrow, can be bought for from $40 to
J50, good male pigs for $25, or those
old enough for service for $50, writes
W. F. McSparran in the Country Gen
tleman. There Is a question whether
one need ever pay any more than
these prices for some of the very best
untried stock.' .
The animals should be fed well and
wisely, as their subsequent improve
ment will result from feed, care and
selection. The sow should produce
two litters a year, about ten pigs the
first year, although often she will do
much better than that and sometimes
Decidedly Unprofitable.
not so well. If she is bred too young
or Is too fat at the time of breeding,
the first litter, at least, will probably
be small in number.
, The breeder must know the type of
animal he desires and select with that
In view. If the offspring of a given
sire have predominating characteris
tics of the kind approved, by all
means breed this sire to his best
daughters, and if his points of merit
are prepotently fixed one can expect
to secure the proper offspring.
Do not scoff at pedigree, for it
means the record of the blood of your
herd. Also, do not pay money for a
pedigree, but spend It liberally for
the ideal hog with a pedigree equal
to bis merits. There is abundant
chance for selection from prollflo
swine. The young sow may farrow
at from twelve to sixteen months of
age. A mature sow should produce
(welve to eighteen pigs a year, which
will give you plenty of stock to select
from.
NEED OF GOOD DAIRY SIRES
Cheapest Investment Farmer Can
Make Is Purchase of Pure Bred
. Bull to Build Up Herd.
(By RAT P. 8PEER, Minnesota College
of Agriculture.)
It has been demonstrated again and
again that the cheapest investment
that can be made by a farmer who ii
trying to build up the standard of a
herd of cattle lies in the purchase ol
a good pure bred bull. It is not nec
essary to buy several high priced fe
males as a basis for the average herd,
nor is it economical.
A striking proof of this has been
shown on the cattle show circuit al
various state fairs last fall. One ol
many instances will suffice. Recentlj
a prominent state fair Judge had U
choose between two cows with th
same dam, but sired' by different bulls
for the female championship of tht
breed. So strikingly similar in typt
was each of them to its own sire,
though the dam was the same, thai
there was no trouble In distinguishing
between the two. The one that had
been produced by the more outstand
Ing sire was so superior to the on
that had been produced by the less su
perior bull that there was no trouble
about the selection.
The principle Illustrated is of prao
deal value to the farmer who is think
Ing of beginning a herd with limited
capital, or has a very common herd
that he desires to grade up. An aver
age group of calves will be far su
perior to their commonly bred mother!
If a good pure bred bull is used. Suet
a bull can be purchased very reason
ably if proper care is taken by the
purchaser.
To Clean Hatching Eggs.
If eggs, while hatching, beconu
soiled and it Is necessary to clean
them, a basin of warm water at n ten
perature of 103 degrees Fahrenheit
should be used, but not above this, a
little less being better than a greatei
degree. The eggs should be put inte
this water and the dirt gerrtly removed
after soaking and washing with tin
hands, then dried with a cloth and pul
back In the nest, which should be first
renewed with clean bay. It not badlj
toiled they day be cleaned by gentl)
scraping with a knife or with the fin
gers. Care is necessary to avoid crack

such an injury will destroy the possl

ROSTER OF HISTORIC TREASURES
- SAVED BY CHANCE.
In the List Is Recorded the Priceless
Parchment on Which the Magna

In British Museum.
Not infrequently manuscripts of lit
erary treasures, long deemed to have
been lost forever, turn up in most un
likely places and by most unlikely
means. These Recoveries form an in-i
terestlng ano" romantic chapter in the
history of literature. . , !
It is said that the oldest known
Greek manuscript of the New Testa
ment, now the chief treasure of a mu
seum at St. Petersburg, was about to
be burnt, together with other and ap4
parently valueless manuscripts, by the
monks of a Syrian monastery, when
by a lucky chance Tischendorf inter
fered in time to save it. !
A page of another valuable Greek
manuscript came to the Bishop of
Uganto in a startling way. It was
wrapped round a fish and brought into
the bishop's presence; when, by the
merest chance, he examined it and
found it to be a part of a treatise
thought for many centuries to be lost.
The good man hastened to the stall of
the butcher in the market where the
fish had been bought Just in time to
save the remaining pages of the treas
ure. ,
Quite as lucky as this . was the
chance, that led to the preservation of
the Magna Charta from destruction.
The story runs that Sir Robert Cotton
had one day entered his tailor's shop

Whereto were attached many large and

the hand of the tailor, even though he
did not immediately . recognize the
value of the document, which he pur

priceless manuscript Is in a glass case

Another valuable manuscript that
was about to be destroyed, after being
smothered In dust for over two cen

One of the most highly prized manu
scripts of recent times was rescued
Just in time from a cupboard in a
house where the poet had for some
time lived as a bachelor. This was
the manuscript of "In Memorlam,"
and it was to the poet himself that
the recovery was due; for he remem
bered that the book wherein he had
transcribed the original draft had
been hastily thrust Into the cupboard,
where Tennyson also had been accus
tomed to keep his pickles and Jams.
When the friends sent by the poet to
recover the manuscript arrived on
the scene, the contents of the cup

a mistake, and was traveling in the
wrong direction. The bus was stopped
for him, he scrambled out and got
into another.
When he had gone, a large yellow
envelope with red seals on it was
found on his seat. Though there were
seals the envelope was open.

Enriching the Language.
The growth and change which are
inseparable from all living language
cannot fail to interest the student, and
a special interest attaches to the In
corporation of the names of well
known men. Thus Wellington has
come to mean a sort of boot; Broug
ham, a carriage, and Gladstone, appro
priate enough, a traveler's bag, as
that great man advocated the "bag and
baggage" policy,- which ' seems likely
at length to be adopted.
Other names have been turned Into
verbs as well as nouns. For instance,
the murderer Burke's name is per
petuated in the words to burke, burk
ed, burking and burkism, while In
quite recent times Captain Boycott's
experiences resulted in the language
being enriched by the phrases to
boycott, boycotter, boycotting, etc. :
The most notable case was prob
ably that of the great and good man,
Rev. T. Bowlder, D. D., who by pub
lishing a "family edition" of Shake
speare in 1881, - added the words
"bowlderize" and "bowlderism" to our
language. Exchange. '

Of the original words of "Yankee
Doodle" it is impossible to say one
good thing. They are to be seen In
the British Museum on a single sheet,
quarto, printed about 1825, and sold at

and each succeeding one from the be
