I have been much interested in the
"large versus small cow" arguments
lately advanced and would like to off
er a little evidence from my own ex
perience, says a writer in Hoard's
Uairman from Clinton, N. Y. In my
herd of 20 cows, i have two grade
Holsteins whose records for 1903 were
9,900 pounds and 8,500 pounds reepec
tivey. Near them in the same row
ataad two gade Jerseys that during
the same period yielded 7,000 pounds
aad 5,000 pounds. Costs of keeping
Holsteins 42 and $40. Jerseys $35 and
30. For milk of the two Holsteins I
received f 177. For the Jerseys! 120.
The Holsteins ate each 40 pounds of
aUage and 12 pounds of grain daily.
The Jeresys 40 pounds of silage, 1) and
8 pounds of giran. Dry fodder tho
for all.

grows older the disk may bo 6?nnted

Why disk it? For two reasons: One,
to kill out the crab grass and other
weeds which tend to chock out alfalfa
even in the drier sections, and the
othrer is to form that dust mnlch of
which we have talked so muchl, and
thas prevent the evaporation of water
so essential west of the Missouri river.
Ia other words, we disk alfalfa for
the same reason that we cultivate
corn, to keep down weeds and create
the amlch, and with the additional
object ia view of splitting the crowns

When should we disk? Those who

EXCHEQUER TALL! ES.
Wondea Money That Wait at Oaa
Time Car rent In Knftland.
Wooden money in the shape of ex
chequer tallies was current prior to
the establishment of the Bank of Eng
land in 1GH4. Tallies was the uania
given to the notched sticks formerly in
use in England for keeping the ac
counts of the exchequer. They were
square rods of hazel or willow, in
scribed on one side with notches indi
cating the sum for which the tally was
an acknowledgment and on two other
sides with the sum in Roman charac
ters. -When the transaction was completed
the tally recording it was split length
wise, so that each section contained a
half of each notch and one of the writ
ten sides. One half, called the tally,
or cheek, was given to the person for
whose service it was intended, and the
other half, called the counter tally,
was retained in the exchequer until its
corresponding tally should be brought
In by the person who had last given
value for it.
It thus became a current token rep
resenting cash. After the establish
ment of the Bank of England govern
ment payments were made through its
agency. The use of tallies in the ex
chequer was abolished by statute 23.
George III. The old tallies were by
acts 4 and o, William IV., ordered to
be destroyed, and it was burning them
that caused the conflagration by which
the old houses of parliament were de
molished. London Tit-Bits.
AN ABRIDGED BIBLE.
"Way Only the Two Covers and a Few
Tatters Were Left.
At a gathering of several ministers
one of them, who is opposed to the so
called "higher criticism," told the fol
lowing story:
"One day a member of a certain
chnrch. who had listened attentively
for live years to the preaching of his
pastor, took to the divine his Bible,
which was truly a sight to behold, with
whole books clipped out here or a pas
sage gone there. Indeed, between the
covers there was little else left but a
few shreds of paper. The pastor was
horriticd and rebuked his parishioner
for using the Bible so shockingly. The
parishioner meekly replied:
" 'It is all the result of your preach
ing. When I went home from church
each Sunday I cut out of the book that
which you liad criticised in your ser
mon of that day. That verse on the
Trinity was an interpolation, so out
went the strong verse. Then the can
onicity of this book and that was
doubtful, so out went this book and
that. John did not write the gospel
of John, so out went what was called
the gospel of John. This bit of history
was not history, only allegory, so out
went that false and deceiving thing.
Positively, sir, I have been faithful
with my shears, and this is all the
Bible I have left tho two covers and a
few tatters.' "Baltimore Sun.
The Submarine Boat.
One of the earliest suggestions of the
submarine was that of a British smug
gler, Johnson, who invented a boat
that was to travel under or above wa
ter. With this vessel he proposed to
carry Napoleon from St. Helena, but
the emperor died while the boat was
under construction. The adherents of
the emperor promised Johnson $200,
000 on the day the boat was ready to
start and an immense sum if it proved
successful. Some years later Johnson
built a boat with which he experiment
ed in the Thames for the British admi
ralty. In this connection it may be
mentioned that one of Napoleon's mar
shals, Massena, began life as a smug
gler on a large scale, and Commodore
Thurot of the French naVy of that
time obtained his knowledge of tho
British coasts while in the employ of
a smuggler.
Glass Eyen.
The earliest notice of artificial eyes
I am acquainted with occurs in a very
rare work by the French surgeon Am
brose Tare, entitled "La Mctbode Cura
tive des riaycs'ct Fractures de la Teste
Hmnaine," Taris, loGl. Pare gives
a description and figures of artificial
eyes to be worn in cases where the
eyeball has given way and all the hu
mors have escaped. They are to be
segments of a hollow sphere, made of
gold, coated with enamel painted in
natural colors. With the exception of
the gold, they are exactly like the eyes
In use at the present time, which are
made wholly of glass. Notes and Que

A PLUCKY LIEUTENANT.
H Was Iaaabordiaate, but He Save
UU Vessel.
Reuben Plnkham, a native of Nan
ticket, made his first trip as third lien
tenant on the ship Potomac, which
crossed the north Pacific, a region
little known to nival vessels in the
i "riy thirties. Plnkham had been on
several wnaung voyages, anu was ia
miliar with those waters." The author
of "The Island of Nantucket" says
that one day, near sunset, he had the
watch, while the commodore was pac
ing up and down the deck.
Suddenly I'inkham gave the order,
"Man the weather braces!"
-"What's that for?" asked the com
modore. "We shall have wind In a moment"
The commodore Vent to the lee rail
and scanned the sea and sky. "I see
no signs of wind," he returned. "Let
the men leave the braces."
The crew dropped the ropes.
"Keep hold of the braces, every man
of you!" called out Pinkham, and the
men resumed their grasp. The com
modore flushed with anger and ex
claimed in peremptory tones:
"Let the men leave the braces!" and
again the braces were dropped.
"Don't any of you dare to drop the
ropes!" shouted Pinkham, shaking his
trumpet at the crew, who once more
took hold. Just then the wind dropped
entirely; not a breath stirred.
"Taut, taut! Haul, all of your' called
Pinkham, and the ponderous yards
swung to reversed position. The wind
came out of the opposite quarter and
struck the ship like a sledge hammer.
The vessel staggered, shook the spray
from her bows and dashed ahead. The
commodore disappeared into bis cabin
without saying a word.
Presently he sent the first lieutenant
to relieve Pinkham, requesting to see
the latter immediately. When Pink
bam entered the cabin the commodore
said:
"I consider that I am indebted to you
for all of our lives; but I will tell you
frankly if that wind hadn't come I
should have put you in irons In two
minutes."
GOING SCOT FREE.
The
Source From Watch This
oia
Saylasr Emanated.
The origin of the old saying, "Going
scot free," is this: Scot, from the Anglo-Saxon
"sceot," a portion, signified
In old law a customary tax or contri
bution laid on subjects according, to
their ability and embraced all paro
chial assessments. The conclusion is
obvious namely, that to escape "scot
free" was to avoid all such payments
of dues and taxes.
Before the reform act the right to
vote for parliamentary and municipal
oflicers was vested exclusively in pay
ers of "scot and lot." Kastall (155S)
speaks of it as a certain tallage for the
use of the sheriff or his bailiff, and in
Kent the usual rates paid in ltomney
marsh for repairing sea walls are
known by the same name.
"Scot," says Camden, "is that which
from various sources Is gathered into
one heap" literally that which is
"shot" into a general fund, from the
Dutch and low German "schot." This
may have come to us through the old
French "escot," diner a escot, to dine
at an ordinarj where each guest paid
his "shot," and any one who did not
contribute would be said to get off
"scot free." London Answers.
THE WORD HUMBUG.
There Arc Various Flaaalble Kspla
nutiotiM of ItH Orlariu.
The word "humbug" has been traced
back to the title page of "The Uni
versal Jester, a choice collection of
merry conceits, boumots and hum
bugs, by Ferdinaudo Killigrew, Lou
don, 1733-40." The following are the
most plausible and possible deriva
tions: In the time of James II. a worthless
coin was minted at Dublin from a soft
mixed metal, which became known as
uiiu bog, pronounced Oooiubug L e.,
soft copper, worthless money.
Some see in it a corruption of Ham
burg, from which town so many false
reports came during the war of 1709
1S00 that such news was received
with "Oh, that is a Hamburg!"
Others refer it to hum, in the sense
of hoax, and bug, in the old sense of
bugbear. Others say it is merely hum
buzz, used in combination to signify
sound Avithout sense. Others, again,
think that it was first applied to Horn
berg, a chemist and an ardent seeker
of the philosopher's stone. Notes and

THE ARAB HORSE.
He Ia Vlrtaallr Vrnmy, at a Be-;
auirkabljr Staray Oae.
The Arab Is virtually a pony, stand
ing 14.2 hands, oftener under than
over. He Is not fast, even at the gal
lop; indeed, he Is slow. He Is a very
poor trotter both as regards speed and'
action, a bad hack, and cannot walk
without continually sticking his toe
in the ground. He Is totally unfitted
for harness and is uncomfortable to
ride, except at the gallop; this Is his'
natural gait, and in it his movement Is
free, smooth, delightful and easy. As
regards his general makeup and an-1
atomical formation, he is perfect, and
his constitutional and physical sound
ness is wonderful. He has great bone
substance, vigor, resolution, strength,
staying powers, courage, boldness, so
briety, the soundest legs and feet and
extraordinary lung power, which is
due to the atmospheric conditions and
free life to which he has been used
from time immemorial; extraordinary
eyesight, good temper, mild manners,
tractability, instinct and sagacity, and
for his size is a wonderful weight car-;
rier.
It Is this extraordinary constitution,
and anatomical perfection, and this,
magnificent courage, nerve and mettle
of the Arab which have made the thor
oughbred ot today what he Is, and not
his speed, which has only existed in
songs.
The Arab attaches far greater Im
portance to bottom, speed and sobriety
than he does to what might be called
"artistic beauty." Of such a horse he
will say: "Let us not be in a hurry.
Let us see him work. He might be
only a cow, with a lion's hide on his
back." When you consider what their
idea of bottom is. It may be sufficient
to know that it means a horse should
be able to travel with a man on his'
back, a change of clothing, food for
rider and horse, his gun, flag, etc.,
from sixty to ninety miles a day for
five or six days in succession, and aft
er a couple of days' rest be able to
repeat the task, and this under a swel
tering sun. Further, it is not uncom
mon for pure Arab horses to cover
from 125 to 150 miles In the twenty
four hours, and this without food or
water until his journey Is finished, and
then the Arab, when he dismounts,
wants to see his horse shake himself
and neigh loud and shrill and paw the
ground for his food. Illustrated Sport-'
