Coloael Robert G. Ingersoll gave ut terance to a few striking educational truths in a recent address delivered be fore the surviving soldiers of his regi ment at Elmwood, I1L Ue said: "We spend more for schools per head than any nation in the- .world. Great Britain spends $11 30 per head on the common -schools; France spends 80 cents; Austria, 30 cents; Germany, 50 cents; Italy, 25 cents' and the United slates-over S2..10.- I tell you the school house is the fortress of liberty. . Every school house is an arsenal, filled with weapons and .ammunition to destroy the monsters of ignorance and fear. As I have said ten thousand times, the school house is my cathedral. The teacher is mv preacher. Eighty-seven percent of all the people of the United. states over ten years of age can read and write. There is no parallel for that in the history of the wide world. Over -iS,0.N),000 of educated citizens, to whom are open all the treasures of lit erature. Forty-two millions of people, able to read and write! I say, there is no parallel for this. The nations of antiquity were as ignorant as dirt when compared with this great repub lic of ours. There is no nation in the world that can show a record like ours. We ought.to be proud'of it. We ought to build more schools, and build them better. Our teachers ought to be paid more, and everything ought to be taught in- the public schools that is worth knowing. "I believe that the children of the republic, no matter whether their fathers are rich or poor, ought" to be allowed to drink at the fountain of ed ucation, and it does not cost more to teach everything in the free schools than it does to teach reading, writing and ciphering. "Have we kept up in other ways? The postoffice tells a wonderful story. In Switzerland, going through the postoffice in each year, are letters, etc., in the proportion of 74 to each inhab itant. In England the number is CO, in Germany 53: in France, 30; in Aus tria, 24; in Italy, 1G. and in the United -States, our own home, 110. Think of it. " In Italy only 1!5 cents paid per head for the support of public schools, and only sixteen letters. And this is the place where (Jod's agent lives. I would rather have one good school master than two such agents. " SHREDS AND PATCHES. Few things are more ludicrous than bogus dignity. As we grow old we become more fool ish and more wise.

OMB of the calcula tions presented to show dairy profits seem to us to omit important ele ments. One writer says a cow which annually produces 300 pounds of bntter that, is sold at 20 cents -realizes 0 to her owner. Assum ing the' yearly expense of keeping her to be fio, 120 of this sum remains as prom, and this represents the interest at 6 per cent on an investment of $333. But such.a cow Is rarely sold for $100 and is frequently purchased for $75. Assum ing $100 as her value the operation gives 20 per cent, and this is compared to investments in city real estate which gives a 10 per cent interest on invested capital, and is thought to be twice as' good as'the real estate investment, be cause $20 is 20 per cent of the price ot the cow. The vice of such calculation lies in the fact that the cow will in a few years either die or go to the butcher for a nominal price, and the original cost will be wholly lost, where as, in the case of the real estate it is not only making 10 per cent, but instead of dying or going to the butcher it is or ought to be annually increasing in value. There are, however, some calcula tions that can be advantageously made. Mr. Abott, in the Practical Dairj'man, gives one of them He supposes a dairyman to have 20 cows, 10 of which make 160 pounds of butter per year, and the remainder 300 pounds per year. The uniform cost of keep ing the cows is placed at $40 per head. Here the butter product from the en tire herd is 4,600 pounds, which sells at 20 cents, yielding a gross income of $920. The cost of keeping the cows is $S0O, leaving a profit of $120. The difficulty of such a herd, however, is that 10 of the cows not only fail to produce any profit at all, but eat into the profits of the other 10. The cows of least- production do not repay their keep by $S per head. Those of larger production make a profit of $20 per head, it would pay the owner of such a herd a larger net return to get rid of the 10 cows which yield 160 pounds a year per head and not replace them, for the 10 making the larger .yield make a net profit of $200 while the entire herd, as the calculation shows, makes a profit of only $120. It is heie that the importance of knowing just what every cow in the herd is doing comes in. Tbose tnat pay their way and something more should be ascertained and kept. Those that do not can not be weeded. out a day too soon. They treated just as a guest at treated who will not pay namely, gotten rid of. Es. should be a hotel is i his ' board, ! Cochin. Manly Miles in a recently published book has the following to say on the Cochin breeds: No breed of poultry ' has ever at tracted so much attention or such high prices for so long a time -is the Cochins on their introduction to this country. They were introduced from China about the year 1847, and created a great sensation at the time, which has been humorously termed the "poultry mania" or "hen fever." So great was the desire to possess them that fabulous prices were paid. In England a hundred guineas -was often paid for a single cock, and equally high prices in this country. A reac tion must of necessity follow, as a nat ural result, and the breed is not now as fully appreciated as It deserves, for it possesses really great merit. It is in the main now superseded by those of greater merit, the Brahmas. The mania attending its introduction, however, absurd a3 it was, resulted in great benefit by awakening a general interest in the whole poultry subject, which has never since died out They come next to the Brahmas in size. The cock will weigh teSf'or twelve nounds when three or four Fears of a?c. The hen will welch from eight tauten pounds. The principal varieties the breed are buff, blackwhite, parjjridge, pea-combed partrida and silkyochin or emu fowl.

Its color, as the name indicates, is a clear uniform huff, sometimes light in shade, and often deeper, the deep buff being considered the more desirable color. Black penciling in the hackle Is .con sidered very objectionable, and a dis qualification in a poultry exhibit But we often find birds with a darker mark ing about the neck where it is not con sidered a grave fault though the greater the uniformity of shade, the better. annvKaBseAw- Merita'and Dsfjeta of Cochins. Cochins are jsftd layers, In winter, wsfs eggs are most They make excellent, careful and in this respect, are jBBBMrpassed, though perhaps the Brahmas are their equals. The chicks grow rapidly and are soon ready for the market. They fatten readily and are not so particular about their food as are' some breeds. In consequence of their fattening propensities', it is better not to feed them too much corn during the laying season, as they will then fatten to such an extent as to interfere with the lay ing of eggs. Sometimes the deposits of fat are so great that death results. They are extremely docile in disposi tion, quiet and we might add lazy in their habits, are naturally gentle and tame, consequently easily- domesticated. They 'seldom quarrel. They are very large and heavy, and as their wings are proportionatehr small Ihey cannot fly.

As to their defects: Though they make most desirable mothers in all respects, the serious objection is their frequent and persistent inclination to sit. This fever generally comes on after every dozen or twenty eggs laid. It requires about three days' absence from the nest to break np this propen sity each time. Although this is usual ly considered an objection, yet when a regular and constant succession of chickens is desired, it becomes a great convenience, as chickens can be hatched with great regularity. The flesh is not regarded as equal in SHINE STALLION VULCAN (4-14-5.) quality with that of some other breeds, though when qtiita young it is good. The breast meat id not abundant, which affects its popularity on the mar ket Cochins are considered valuable for crossing with other breeds, such as Dorkings or Crevecoeurs. MxtMMi Slip'op on an Acre. An experiment is conducted by Prof. Shaw, at the experiment farm, which certainly means a great deal, not only to the northwest but to all the United States. He has undertaken to pasture 6 sheep and 10 lambs oil an acre of land. The experiment is succeeding beyond his expectations. The food is at the present time nearly two mouths ahead of the sheep. They are doing splendid ly on the food, and have kept in per fect health from the first. His plan is to sow a succession ot foods, so there will always be something for the sheep on one or the other of the plots. The acre is divided into four plots, and the sheep are pastured on these in succes sion. The harrow is generally used on each plot after it has been pastured, and in some instances fresh seed is sown.- The season has of course been very favorable, but to offset that, in part at least, the land is not so good as the average prairie soil, and it has not been manured for several years. Prof. Shaw says he has not exhaust ed all the resources in this line, and he is hopeful that :is large a number of sheep and lambs can be kept on an acre of well-prepared land in a dry year. Let it be borne in mind that the sheep are pastured none of the food is cut for them. A bulletin will be issued giving all the particulars at the close of the pasturing season. Northwestern Farmer. Growth of the Hoof. The growth of horn takes place by the deposition of new material from the secretiug surface, says a writer in Horse Breeder. This deposition is ef fected at the commencement or roots of the fiber, when the horn is yet soft, and its incessant operation causes these fibers to lie mechanically extended or pushed downward toward the ground in a mass. Once formed they arc sub mitted to other change than that of becoming denser, harder, less elastic ami dryer, as they recede farther down from the surface from where they originated. So regular is this growth generally in every part of the hoof that it would ap pear as if the secreting membrane is endowed with an equal activity throughout. But this equality in the amount of horn secreted over so wide a surface is an undoubted fact, yet un der the influence of certain conditions the growth or descent of the materin! jy haasffected in an irregular manner, eithers portion of the secretory appar atus assuming a more energetic ac tivity, or being imparted or hindered more or less in its functions. For example, the way the foot is planted on the ground has a marked influence on the amount of horn secret ed, also on that subjectec to wear. When the weight is eqesii.- distributed over the lower ce or the oof, the foot may be said to be properly placed as a basis of support to the limb. But when, through mismanagement or de fectiveJbrm, this basis is uneven one side Wgher than the other the weight must f&YlqaK lower part to a degree greater fj0Rt does on the higher side, thus caunng not only disturbance in the direction of the limb and its move ments, but considerably modifying the growth of the horn. This growth is diminished at the part most subjected to pressure in all prob ability from a smaller amount of blood being allowed to pass through the se cretory surface; while to the side sub jected to less weight and wear or pres- twsTfeet hues will easily 2r rlsnrYt hnnnsV Thar hJUBSW CiUBU aeaai uaaeaawa a at4r im pfto sflswtch;-and iChce. lsarmall. sore the blood is stars absssaatly asp- aad the fsrsjatkm ot ins fcsrm Is y Increased or augments.

Tuberculosis, for example, is almost wholly absent in the sheep, and the recent report. of the Royal com mission in Great Britain in relation to this disease points out the superiority of mutton over many other kinds of meats with respect to the risk of com municating it to mankind. There are few statistics available in ctWntry showing the relative prev ce)f tuberculosis, but the statis tics of Denmark and Germany throw some light on the subject In the four years from 1890 to 1893 inclusive, there were slaughtered at Copenhagen 132,294 cattle, of which 23,305 showed evidence of tuberculosis. In 185,755 calves, 339 were more or less tubercu- . w A AAA !. f....WC..d 4 IIW IOUS. in B,9 BW1UC NW1UKRU -1,4 46a were tuberculous, whlIeJl7,014 sheep slaughtered there wasJJR one injDeUch, tuberculosis was xouna.

In 518,063 swine 7,055 were tuberculous, in 355,949 sheep slaughtered there were but fifteen in which there were any signs of tubercu losis. These figures tend to prove the practical immunity of the sheep from this disease, and to establish the whole someness of mutton as compared with many other kinds of meats. Indiana Farmer. Butter la Copenhagen. The variations Jp. quotations made by different mayiacwers of buUer in Denmark led tjrn. caablnatlonJltween a large number o&ananurac-STers. and resulted in the appointinsvt of a com- mittce of eight members who meet at Copenhagen every Thursday and fix the wholesale price for the ensuing week. Their quotations are official and on their figures the whole trade in butter in Denmark depends, and not only that, I but tho prices paid to the patrons who furnish milk to the various factories are governed by the butter quotations made by this butter committee at Co penhagen. Most of the milk is bought upon the basis of the price of a pound of butter for so many pounds of milk, ranging about twenty-five pounds. In this way there is practically a uniform price established for milk furnished to the creameries all over the country. This committee does not act as a board of trade, excepting on the basis that-the product for the week is fur nished by different creameries, and the sales that have been made giving to a certain extent an idea of the amount of stock on hand and likely to be ready for the next week's shipments. The prac tice of shipping every week, as in the Elgin district, is held to be the only way to handle the product, and in that way the consumer gets his goods prac tically fresh and in the very best possi ble condition for consumption. The members of this committee are all connected with practical operat ing creameries and the result is that the prices are kept very uniform and at the best possible figure for the pat rons of the factory at which the butter was to be sold in the markets to which it was shipped. Elgin Dairy Report Early Maturing Cattle Win. In reference to the class of cattle now winning in the fat stock shows, Bell's Messenger of England, says: The type of animal now winning in our fat stock shows is a very different one from the one seen twenty or thirty years ago. Then the big. bulky animal, with lots of size, and patchy with fat, carried the day. The winner now has to be short legged, broad and deep, full in the flank, well sprung ribs, and good twist. His bottom lines should be as straight as his top lines, and as wide, and he should have no thick, patchy fat any where. Experiencoias shown that thick-bodied, shojalegged steers, full flanks, pay jhe feeder best, give best profio the butcher. ones are noyWhger needed. sizes are belt, with pientyAf qualit and with youth on their sit is juicy and tender. Age is counted in months now, instead of years, and tho change is for the better. Demand for Butter. The people of the United States eat on the average about four pounds of butter for each bushel of wheat consumed as food. From this it is easy to sec that so far as the home market is concerned butter brings the farmer more money than wheat, and yet there are some folks who think the dairy industry, which in cludes the sale of milk for food, and the manufacture of c-neese as well as of butter, is not of very much import ance as compared with wheat raising.

The objec tion to the bolted flour is, of course, well known that it is deprived of cer tain necessary - nutriments to the human body. Hence the reason for eating graham dour. This physician, however, does not stop with graham flour, but eats the grain whole, and says his family does not tire of it after its use for three years. If the cooking is well done there is an agreeable nutty flavor of the wheat which corresponds to the bouquet of grapes. This flavor seems to be lost when the wheat is cracked, crushed or ground before cooking. If this flavor is not desired, the cleaned whole wheat may be pounded in a, mortar or run through a coffee mill. This will short en the time of cookin; to four hours or less, the time required for whole wheat being cight'or ten hours. tJood House keeping.
