Great Orators Develop OM.
The "Boy Orator" has no place in
baerwin Cody's "A .Selection from
the World's Great Orations" for the
reason that orators, to be orators, he
says, must nave reached advanced
years. In his own words: "Since
knowledge of life comes 'only with
experience, the greatest orations nave
usually been spoken when the orator
was in me fullness of his powers, if
not actually old. Chaiam's great
speeches were all spoken in his old
age; tairabeau's great speech came al
most at the end of his life; Demos
thenes' greatest oration was his but;
Burke was 45 when the first of his
great speeches was delivered, and
nearly 60 at the time of the speeches
impeaching Warren Hastings."
Indeed, the only speech in Mr.
Cody's collection delivered in the early
life of the orator is Grattan's, spoken
when he was 34 and "that age can
hardly be called youthful."

THE SCIENCE OF BREEDING.
The man who has proved himself a
successful breeder Is of inestimable
value in the realm of stockdom and
to him honor is truly due. "There are
many engaged in' breeding stock and
many have been more or less success
ful, but how many can we point out
as masters of their art. Unfortunate
ly they are few. There are many
prominent breeders who own prize
winning herds but in how many cases
are the animals in their possession
the result of their success as breed
ers. A great number of men in the
business are more deserving of the
name speculators than breeders.
It requires clear insight into the
laws relating to breeding; and this in
turn demands considerable experi
ence before the height of success can
be reached. There are so many influ
ences having a bearing more or less
direct on the laws of breeding and
of some of the laws so little Is
known, that he who would be suc
cessful mast be a close student The
most prevalent cause of failure is
that many of those engaged in the
work fail to comprehend its intricacy.
It may be that a herd of cattle
Is deficient in some particular point
and the owner in his endeavor, to
rectify this weakness secures a sire
that is strong In that particular but
at the same time .be overlooks some
weakness in the .sire that may be
even more objectionable than the one
he endeavors to remedy, and as a
result finds himself in a serious pre-'
dicament This will illustrate one of
the 'pitfalls into which the unwary
may fall and points out one of the dif
ficulties which will continually pre
sent themselves. It Is impossible to
get a perfect sire and the intending
purchaser must reason out for him
self whether or not his herd will be
improved by the use of a certain ani
mal. The breeder must have In his mind
some definite Ideal which he Is en
deavoring to reach and without such
an ideal in his mind little headway is
likely to be made. A sire should be
selected not only because he is a
good individual, but because of the
value he will be to that particular
herd in which he is to be used. Sup
posing ' there 'are two animals to
choose from. The first may, In the
show ring, win over the second, but
for use in a certain herd the second
may be of much more value than the
first. As an explanation of this, the
first may be deficient ia a certain
point in which many of the herd are
likewise deficient and the use of such
a sire would tend to fix the existing
evil more firmly and render Improve
ment more difficult
Let the breeder never be satisfied
with his present attainments, but
strive for something better. Let his
watchword be improvement and
though he may have, reached a cer
tain ideal in which he had in mind
as a beginner, let him set up' another
standard. Only the progressive can
hope for permanent success and we
are in duty bound to strive for some
thing better than present attainment
and to give the world the best we
can.
Not long since it was my good for
tune to visit a farmer in an adjoining
county. He kept a great many horses
and had nothing but barbed wire
fences. In order that his horsesiShould
know where wire fences were he had
a number of long laths wired to ,the
top wire of the fence, which had been
whitewashed. Horses could see these
readily and would not run into the
fences.
The farm Is the place to look for
quieS) health and peace. It Is the
refuge place from care and turmoil
incident to town and city life.
A hen that lays an average of an
egg every other day is a moderately
good layer and will pay a good profit,
but hundreds of breeders are making
their fowls do much better than his.
What is worth doing at all is worth
doing well.
A subscriber who is a milk vender
asks if he may use preservatives to
keep his milk from souring while ship
ping to the city. Preservatives cannot
be used la the states of MInensota and
Iowa, as it Is prohibited by law, aad It
is very fortunate that we have such a
law, aa preservatives are poisonous
and dangerous in the hands of care
less people, and when their use is per
mitted they too often become a means
in the hands of the slovenly milk deal
er of taking the place of cleanliness In
preserving milk.
Sheep, aa well as other live stock,
love a greater variety of feed, than
they asaally get; bat sheep especially
are fond of change aad variety, even
unto apparent fickleness. The more
good grass they eat the snore noxious
and Utter weeds they will consume.
There is no better time tkan "right
now to put the whole subject of
farming on a tbinMwg instead of a
muscle basis.
' The sooner the idea ia abandoned
that books and agricultural papers do
not pay, the better it will be for tka
practical farmer. They constitute tke
advance herald of prosperity.
There is no reason 'why
should' not have fruit nine montks of
tke year. Fruit not only pays from a
remunerative standpoint, bat it pays
to have plenty of fresh and canned
fruit for tke table.
Tkm tke trait rather than prop tke
branch. Take off all little ones, an
wormy ones. This gives the best a
CITY AND COUNTRY.
We frequently hear about the "slav
ery of farm life." True, farming if
properly attended to often means hard
work, and on some days long hours;
but if rightly and successfully man
aged It cannot be otherwise than a
labor of love, requiring the ase of
brains, of thought and study. The
right kind of farmer masters the soil
with his head more than with his
hands. The city merchant, the store
clerk, the city laborer generally and
this includes physicians, teachers, pro
fesstoaalSj and often millionaires all
have far greater reason to talk about
the "slavery of city life" than the mod
ern farmer, who has no boss, is not
kept imprisoned for ten or twelve
hours a-' day In a dingy room, and
whose whole life Is the most satisfac
tory combination of congenial work,
both of brain and .hand, with perfec
tion independence,' and the purest of
life's pleasures and blessings, has no
reason to talk about 'the "slavery of
farm life." Let as appreciate our ad
vantages and make the most of our
opportunities, rather than indulge in
such slurs on our occupation as that
which is "expressed in the absurd
phrase' "slavery of farm life."
It is well to remember that a model
udder Is usually an Indication of a
good cow; however, an ideal udder or
an extremely large udder is occasion
ally found attached to a very ordinary
cow. A well-balanced udder with well
placed teats is as good an indication
as abnormal size, as size does not
always indicate quality. As a cow
ages her udder usually becomes long
er, even though she gives no more
milk than formerly, hence the age of
the cow should be considered when
giving credit to the size of her udder.
We also remember that the udder
neither indicates quality of mtlk nor
persistency in milking.
STIMULATING MELONS.
In tke northern limits of melon cul
ture it is desirable to so stimulate the
plants that they will produce fruit as
early as 'possible and this may be
done by constantly feeding the plants
during the whole season. Nitrate of
soda, where it can be got, is a good
stimulant, and while it is a, pretty
costly way to supply the plants with
nitrogen it pays with as valuable a
crop as melons. Stable manure spread
over the surface of the soil and work
ed in is good, and is is hardly possible
to overdo this kind of fertilization,
especially if the plants can be watered
freely.
In cultivating melons of any fynd
do not -disturb the vines more than is
absolutely necessary, as to do so re
tards growth and makes them produce
smaller and later melons.
Attractive and convenient farm
homes are rapidly becoming more com
mon, and afford a pleasing contract
with those when log houses, log
schoolhoases and rail fences were
common sights.
As between spring and fall planting
of trees there is doubtless more in the
circumstances than in the season. A
good tree well taken up and well
planted will do equally well at either
time of the year. But transplanting is
an unantural process and is a check to
the, growth of the tree or plant, which,
until growth is fully reestablished, is
under unfavorable conditions, and the
less exposure while these conditions
remain the better.
We used to let the hogs run until
they were a year old and older, and
then fatten them. We have learned a
better way .aad so have most feeders.
Nobody feeds bogs that way now.
When you wish to "break up" a sit
ting hen, don't pull her tail feathers
all out and duck her in water, but
confine her in good quarters without
nests and properly feed and water her.
The thing you should aim at is to put
your hens in laying order again as
soon as possible.
The whole mission of the steer is to
convert feed into beef, and the quicker
he converts a given amount of feed
into beef the more pounds of beef he
will get for the food consumed. Keep
the animal busy every day at its
proper work, from birth to sale day.
The farmer who takes into consider
ation the keeping up of the fertility
of his soil will aim to produce crops
to feed at home and keep such stock
as he can feed and do it well. The
taking of crops off the farm without
planning to recuperate the soil is a
bad practice.
If we are going to make aay money
in raising and feeding cattle, we must
eliminate a year or more of time from
the process of making a prime beef.
It can be doae.
H. C. James of Dolan asks where
the Alderney cattle originated. Alder
ney is a term erroneously applied to
the Jersey i and Guernsey breed of cat
tle, wkick originated ia the Jersey and
Guernsey islands.
The days are loag and hot just now.
Keep cheery.' Go slow. Be master of
yourself. It is-the overheated boiler
that explodes. Watch the gauge aad
when things get too kot sit down and
let tke machinery cool. As farmers
we nave a good deal to learn yet about
tka coaaervatiea of force.
Science with practice is daily solv
iag tke problem of "how to make tke
farm pay." '

ATTEND THE DAIRY SCHOOL
This Is the time of year -wkea a
great many batter makers are com
pelled to decide whether they, will at
tend a term of the dairy school or pat
it oft until next year. There are many
who desire to go, but cannot arrange
to do so on account of the finance
question or inability to secure a man
to operate their creamery during their
absence, while there are others who
are eligible to neither excuse and who.
are sorely in need of the instruction
to be obtained at the school. A man
who Is operating a creamery in this
day and age is working at a great dis
advantage if he does' not possess a
dairy school education."
The question has been discussed
considerable as to whether Angora
goats or sheep are the more proltable.
It is idle to discuss this question, aa
the profit from one or the other of
tnese will depend almost entirely on
the conditions under which they are
kept. When much brush is to be con
sumed, the goats will be found to
answer the purpose .much the better of
the two. On the other hand, if grass
pasture is to be grazed, 'sheep will be
found more profitable than goats. The
great matter in choosing the animals
is to choose them with a view to the
fitness for the place which they are
intended to fill.-
September 27 will be.apple day at
the World's Fair. Every man, woman
or child who attends the exposition on
that day will be made a present of
three or four ot Missouri's best, "the
big red apple." It is to.be hoped,
however, that they will nor? be Ben
Davis.
We have become) so accustomed to
planting young tres that we seldom
think of planting tree-seeds. The
Gardener's Magazine (England) says:
"The best way to rebeautlfy barren
and uncultivated lands Is to sow tree
seed broadcast, and leave nature
to do the tasK of thinmg out the
worthless ones. Seedlings will adapt
themselves to rough places better
than transplanted small trees. The
poplar, the willow, the ash and the
sycamore are especially recommend
ed, and of these the last two are oc
the greatest economic value, because
of their suitability for timber, which
Is here used as supports In coal
mines." In this country other kinds
of trees that can be grown from
seeds may be more desirable, par
ticularly the nut-bearing trees.
Some of the advantages of having
some of the mares drop their colts in
the fall is that the team need not be
so badly broken In the spring, or the
mares subject to too severe exertion.
The colts can be weaned on grass and
so suffer the least from the change of
food, and are out of the way when the
mares go to the field. As the mare
usually does not have to work so hard
during the winter she can better
suckle her colt.
Farm animals are the machinery
which the farmer jnust use for con
verting the farm products into animal
products of greater value. To run the
machinery economically it must be
continually supplied with all the raw
material that .it can use.
Plank boards for horse stalls are,
not a good investment. They wear
out too quickly. Cement floors prop
erly made with the proper slope are
preferable'. These floors should be
made a little rough so as to hold the
bedding. If .you are planning to put
a new floor in your horse barn during
the coming season, be sure and talk
with those who have used cement
floors for their horses and listen to
what they have to say in favor of such
floors as compared with those con
structed of planks, and you will soon
be convinced of their value.
- The. problem of agriculture are the
hardest that any line of business has
to grapple with. No wonder people
leave farms and hunt softer places.
There is noT true reward anywhere
without hard work, and the best and
greatest reward for intelligent indus
try is to be found on the farm.
The farmer who has confined his
efforts to two or three staple crops
does not know how his farm-would re
spond to some one or more special
crops. This is a day of specialties
and many men can mate a success
growing some special crop who are
not now making a good living grow
ing some of the staple crops. The
way to start on some special crop is
to start with a small area and gradu
ally branch out to larger operations.
I have in mind a farmer who made a
failure of growing staple crops and
afterwards made a pronounced success
in growing broom corn. Another did
the same with popcorn.
Trees in the orchard that have not
made much growth should not be ma
nured. Keep every tree growing. An
old, orchard that is past its prime can
be set to work again by manure and
fertilizers freely used.
Organized effort among farmers de
velops a disposition to adopt many
of the new and better ways of doing
things.
Long ago feeders commenced breed
ing for a compact, closely bant kog.
They found that such a kog would
mature earlier, take on more pounds
of grain for the same amount of food,
than would the narrow, contracted,
slab-sided, long, rangy kog, wkick
stood high up on his legs aad coakt
outrun a horse.
Good farming involves a knowledge
of the soil and how to aanaally in
crease its fertility, and at tke aame
time make tke farm pay.

Twenty-one years ago three little
children were .suddenly bereft of
father and mother they were friend
less aad homeless ;: but it was only
oae of the many similar Instances
happening every day only three lit
tle children left friendless and home
less; that was all. - But it was a cru
cial moment in at least one life. Rev.
J. G. Lemen was at that time pasto
of a large church in Council Bluffs.
Ia. This man, "whose heart was large
"enough to find a place for every un
fortunate one, took these children
into his own home, where they shar
ed the same loving, tender care-that
was bestowed upon his own little
ones. It was not long before he learn
ed of other children who bad been
left to the cold 1 mercies of a selfish
world. Moved with -compassion, he
took these, also, to his' already over
crowded home. Then came the test;
money was needed. He had a few
thousand dollars which he had saved
up fora rainy day He little knew
what the Master had in store for
hlm but he was obedient and when
the news came that other little ones
had been left alone, fatherless and
motherless, with no one to care for
them, and the command came to take
these also, to the ordinary man, with
his house filled to overflowing and a
large congregation looking to him to
be fed spiritually, it would have
seemed like an impossibility; not so,
however, with this man; it was
enough for "him to know that his Mas
ter approved of H and bid him to do
it Aa he stepped out upon His
promises and obeyed the command to
go forward, the way opened before
him, and when he had exhausted his
own competency, never doubting but
that a way would be opened to supply
their needs, He who owns the cattle
upon a thousand hills moved upon
the" hearts of Eis faithful subjects to
send of their substance that these
little homeless ones might be cared
for. Larger quarters became neces
sary, aad they were secured. Other
children were left homeless, and
found under his roof not only shelter
from the storm, but a loving, tender
father, as all at, tne Home delight to
call him, and, more than this in his
sainted wife, now deceased who pre
sided over the household affairs and
was continually looking after their
welfare.
From a small beginning, twenty-one
years ago, the Christian, Home has
grown, until, now about two hundred
and fifteen ctildren are cared for
there, and two thousand have been
placed in good Christian families.
The real estate consists of about
twenty-five cottages and other build
ings, all owned by an organization
which has been formed through the ef
forts of Mr. Lemen with a view of
making it a permanent organization.
Mr. and Mrs. Lemen have been
blessed with four lovely children
three sons and one daughter. Ail of
them take great delight In the work
of the Home, and on them, no doubt
the mantle of their father and moth
er will falL The oldest son Is giv
ing his entire life to this work also.
The scrupulous neatness and order
that pervades the entire institution,
the loving salutation of "Hello,
papa!" that rings out from every
quarter as he passes about the
grounds, and the remarkable execu
tive ability he displays in all the
management of the affairs of the
Home, are sufficient to Impress every
visitor that it is no ordinary man
who has been called to this great and
noble work. Children are taken here
from any part of the globe, and have
the best possible care and training.
You, my readers, wherever you tnay
be, may have a part in'tnis grand
work. It is a labor of love In behalf
of all homeless, suffering children
everywhere. The children sre fre
quently adopted by Christian people,
but are never allowed to go from the
Home excepting into Christian fami
lies who are properly vouched for.
The Christian Home is non-sectarian,
but Is heartily indorsed and support
ed by all denominations. It takes child
ren from every state and it is not a
local affair, but belongs to the World.
We have given this brief "descrip
tion of the Christian Home with the
hope that all who read It will become
Interested in its welfare. If you have
money which the Master desires you
to use. for such purposes, send it to
this Home. There is no institution
that is more worthy of your gift, than
this.

Should Mr. Hitt be elected vice pres

oath of office and in his 72d year, he
having been born January 16, 1834. He
will be the oldest man ever elected to
the vice presidency. Elbridge Gerry
was 69 when he became vice presi
dent, and is still the oldest man on the
list of those who have held that office.
Clinton, King, Wilson, Hendricks and
Morton had all passed the sixtieth
milestone on life's highway. The
youngest vice rresident was John C.

Everybody's Magazine, June, 1S04.
Should the readers of a magazine
have the opportunity to dissent from
or comment on the articles the pub
lication presents? Hitherto, tkere
has been no method of replying to
editorial opinions set forth in our
monthlies, but Everybody's, with Its
usual originality, proposes that any
one who does not agree with ita con
tributors' views shall have the oppor
tunity to set them right or approve,
as seems proper. In the new depart
ment. "Straight Talk." in the June is-
sue of this magazine, a number of
readers have taken advantage of this
opportunity to criticise Dr. Hillis con
ception of a consolidated church; most
of the writers frankly disagree with
his views. i
