At a party over at old Brizintlne’s
oat; night they were talking about the
progress of the world. There were
present all of the wise men of the
community. Medicine wus represent
ed by "Doc” Peters, horse surgeon;
the lan by Anthony liotts, justice of
the peace; sculpture by Rufe Goodall,
stone quarry man; art by Miss Nancy
Hodge, drawer cf a map of the coun
ty'; literature by Stephen Blue, writer
of for sale notices and epitaphs; the j
ministry by Rev. Gustavus Nudge—
send agriculture by Limuel Jucklln. So,
B may be seen, here was assembled a j
4ix>dly twentieth century company, j
prepared by experience and stimulat- i
x! by education to discourse upon any j
subject.'
' The tire revolves faster titan the 1
hub.” said the minister, Mr. Nudge,
and it is but natural that we, now
on the outer rim of time, should move
with more accelerated motion than
our forefathers, who were nearer the j
center, so to speak Ah, Brother !
"But you must agree,” Mr. Nudga
interposed, "that our youug men have
been inspired with n spirit of unrest.”
"Yes, I acknowledge that." said Lim.
"And r spirit of unrest -ie tin.' first step
to war-1 advancement. The young fel
lers saw that they needed a better, a
more practical education, and they set
about to get It. If there la h better
teacher than experience It la example.
Envy as generally understood may be
a bad thing, but It is active envy that
makes the world move forward. The
drummer brought stories with him.
They Illustrated life. A community
that has only old stories lives In the
past. The drummer’s new stories
quickened the Intellect. They made
the mind jump. Trade-5-"
"Ah,” Mr. Nudge broke in. "1 thank
you for the timely Introduction of that
well-worn word. You would place
trade above everything.”
“Well, 1 wouldn’t placo it below
everything. Trade Is the exchange of
raateriallEod ideas. It is the circulat
There Were Prerent All the Wise Men of the Community,
.Iuekiin, what changes have taken
place since we can remember."’
“Yes,” replied old Lim. "a good
many. I can recollect when we had
10 go of a niornin' to a neighbor’s
liotise lor a chunk of fire. Ws’n’t any
matches.”
Miss Nancy Hodge, elevating her
eyebrows, exclaimed: “For pity
sake.”
Yes,” said old Lim. “and the
chances were that the feller that was
.sent alter the chunk of fire would be
drunk before he got back. Everybody
kept liquor in the house, and if a fel
ler stopped and heiloed at the gate
they’d ask him to get down and take a
d'-'ink.”
“In the matter of whisky there has
l>een great reform and, 1 may there
fore say, progress," remarked Rev.
.Mr. Nudge.
Limuel nodded assent. “But.” said
he, “the reform has been with man and
not with liquor. The greatest good
that whisky has done is to he so mean
that nobody wants it. But 1 can re

which he was quick to observe had

fever ami marks disease. Literature
is a prescription, and if it don't help
life fails to do it any good. I want
to tell you. a drummer first set me to

were. But I thought that when a man
got along well in life he ought to think

showed me that ns long as a man

i meeting men came away from them
! with n better knowledge of human na

ness of man. he coaid better admire
h!s strength or pardon his faults."
"Bur you arc forgetting the Gospel,’’
said 3!r. -\udg-.

toe preacner, put, parson, do you
know what has done more toward the I
civilizing of us all thau any other
agency?”
Modesty restrained ilr. Nudge from
mentioning what, in his opinion, was
the real cause, so he hazarded the
one word "education.”
"Thar's ail very well.” said Lim.
"but there’s a shorter way of gettin'
;<t It. 1 should say the—drummer.”
The minister winced as if he had
suddenly bitten into a sour pickle.
"Yes, sir, the man that goes about
and sells goods," said Lim. "He has
the progress of the world buckled up
in his sample case. He is the circuit
rider of trade. He not only brings
what the people already want, but
teaches them to need things: and the
man that shows us what we need

Take our town over here. For more

The biscuits were just about as diges*
tible as door knobs. The suit pork
might properly have bean labeled ’the

as if it had been made of the milk of
a cow that had just seen a ghost.
What’s the name of that place where

snatched out of the Inquisition and

EXPERIMENTS WITH FEED
FOR FATTENING CATTLE
I Rations Used Consisted of SbeXled Corn, Cotton-Seed Meal
and Clover Hay—Older Animals Making
More Rupid Gain.
During the past three years the An
imal Husbandry department of Pur
due university, Indiana, has boon con
ducting a series of tests to determine
the influence of age on the economy j
and profit in fattening cattle, in which ]
three lots of cattle, one of calves, one j
of yearlings uud one of two-year-olds I
were used last year. This year the !
ration used consisted of stheWd corn. '
cotton-seed meal and clover hay. The !
results were similar to those secured !
in previous years and published by !
the station iu Bulletin 129. The old- j

before final conclusions are drawn.
This one test has shown a decided
advantage la the use of silago in the

cotton-se.id meal are used as concen
trates. followed very closely by the
use ot a ration where one-half of the
clover was substituted with silage.

to rote and cost of gain, Iinish and
market value of the cattle are noticed
here in favor of using cotton-seed meal
with clover hay. Similar results were
secured during the preceding year with
these feeds, which would indicate that
it is profitable to use a nitrogenous
concentrate in connection with corn
at pretailing prices. The tabulated
results of the past winter's work
affords a valuable study for all farm
btsef feeders. The work carried on i t
tb» station has been based on general
corn belt conditions as prevail on most
Indiana farms. Consequently the re
sults mean something to the overage
feeder.

to 2,000 farmers at the farmers’course

in which its presence ordinarily would
be unsuspected. The tuberculin test.
Dean Russell declared, was the only
reliable method of determining the
presence of the disease, since the ap
pearance of the animal and physical
examinations have been demonstrated
{ to be untrustworthy. The great need
for immediate testing by farmers
themselves or by qualified tests was
strongly urged.

\\ hilt1 Washington wax serving his
Erst term ns president of the United
States, n recommendation came to him
that tiie government ought to buy live
oak islands on tiie coast of Georgia
to make sure of a supply of ship
timber lor war vessels. The idea ap
pears to hare originated with Joshua
Humphreys, whose official title was
"Constructor ol" the United States
Xavv," although about the only navy
then existing was made up oi six ships
on paper, and not one stick of timber
to build them had yet been cut. The
vessels were designed to light the
north African pirates.
Five years after the recommenda
tion was made congress appropriated
money to buy live oak land. Grover
and Blackboard islands eu the coast
of Georgia were bought for $22,509.
They contained 1,960 acres.
Ixmisiana was bought soon after,
and in 1X17 the Six Islands, of 19,00-9
acres, and containing 37,000 live oak
trees, were withdrawn from sail-, and
set apart as a reserve, in 1X26. con
gress appropriated 310,000 to buy ad
ditional live oak -tend cm Uuntu Rose
sound, western Florida, and subse
quently other Florida timberlands, ag
gregating 200.224 acres, were reserved.
Up to that time nothing more had
been done than to buy or reserve laud
for the timber growing naturally up
on it; but the work was to be carried
further upon the Santa iicsa purchase.
The plan included planting, protecting
cultivating, and cutting live oak for
the navy. The timber was then con
sidered indispensable in building war
vessels. Much had been said and
written oi the danger of exhaustion of
supply
Young oaks were planted on the
.Scuta Iloso lauds. Difficulty wax ex
perienced in inducing young trees to
grow. The successful transplanting
of the oak is not iasy, unless done at
the proper time and in the right way.
The plantations at Bantu Rosa were
generally unsuccessful: but large
quantities of acorns were planted, and
a fair proportion of them grew. But
the chief efforts were directed to prun
ing, training, and caring for the v.ild
trees. Thickets about them were cut
away to let in air anil light.
What tiie ultimate success of the
forestry work would have ! wen «ui
not be told. The civil war brought a
complete change in war vessels by
substituting iron for wood. Forestry
work stoppixl. The timber reserves
were neglected. Squatters Occupied
the land. After a number of years ail
the reserves except some of the Flori
da land, were opened to settlement.
Mr. Clifford Pincb'ot. United ‘ States
toresti-r and chairman of the national

the National Irrigation congress re
cently held at Spokane. Wash., in the
course of which he said:
"The most valuable eitizeu of tills

question concerns us more intimately
: than the question of homes. Perma

The present vicar, the Kev. Watson

the mainland village of Benfleet. The
bishop of the diocese had arranged
for 20 services to be conducted during,

they should be held fortnightly.
Instead, however, they were held
consecutively, so for six months of
the year the church was never opened.
Taking advantage ot this extraordin
