After many years the obvious retort

might be correct, bnt that "he, when

It if. a bad blunder for th? rich tnen
to try to shirk their civic duties. It
creates prejudice against them. They
may not care for that, bin it is a mat

not the law Is upheld. Without law
their vast property Interests would be
worth nothing. The more the people
respect the law the better it will be
for the property owners, and If for no
higher and nobler reason it Is clearly
In the material interest of the rich
that law and order shall prevail and
It is therefore in their Interest to dis
charge their civic duties with faith

Two correspondents, one a govern

opened up tbtir hearts to a New York
paper. Both are in comfortable cir
cumstances. Each thinks, however,
that he might hove been better off in
a material way if he had dug a littlt
harder. Therefore each concludes that
he has not made much of a succesf
of life. Their letters have started l
discussion as to what success is a dis
cussion which provokes the reflection
that a good many who fear they hav
failed have really succeeded, and tha
a gosl many who think they have sue
ceeded have Incontinently failed. Sue
cess consists in bein? of some smal.
use to the community or country in
which one lives. It consists In hav
ing an intelligent, sympathetic outlook
upon human affairs. That man ha
made at least a measurable success ol
his life who loves books, and art. end
nature. It Is success to love one'i
work. It Is success to have friendl
and be a friend. To have a home il
Is a daily, perennial delight to return
to this is success. To have ruddy,
healthy children who climb upon youi
knees and pull your hair and w hiskers
when they are young, and who are a
comfort and stay to you when you ar
old this also is success. To have thf
poise and philosophy to bear with a
light heart and a tranquil mind the
rebuffs and blows of fortune, should

power, or fame, or riches, so much tin

Fattening- Itorf Cattle.
IYof. W. A. Henry, whose reputa
tion us an authority on cattle feeding
annot lw doubted, suggests that
moriesn cattle can be fattened iiHn
must less grain than our feeders gen
erally give them. He says that many
feeders In the Western and Middle
states give to their fattening stock
from twenty to thirty pounds, and
ometimes thirty -five pounds a day of
-orn meal, while In England and Scot
land they seldom use more than six
!r eight pounds a day. They give with
this from fifty to one hundred pounds
if sliced roots, usually rutabagas, four
to Ave pounds of slraw and from five
to ten pounds of hay. They claim to
send as goMl meat to market bb we
can furnish them, which we may not
doubt, but we are not sure that we
cun grow the turnip as the corn
which we feed here, and whether lieef
animals fed upon turnips would stand
transportation as well, either alive or
as dressed ramt, as those fattened on
corn. Professor Henry thinks ensl!ae
should take the place in our stock
feeding that roots do In England, and
we do not doubt that a Judicious use
of ensilage or some other succulent
food with the corn meal mighl Induce
tsMter digestion so that animals might
be as well fattened with a less
amount of grain.

The Striped Heetle.
The most troublesome pest of the

the striped beetle which feeds on the

Where there are only a few hills they
may be protected by screens or wire
netting, or common mowjuito netting
on circular wire frames. Persistent
use of plaster of alr-shiked lime will
drive them away, also tobacco dust
