Frorii "The John Oliver Hobbes Birthday Book" we take the following epigrams: The truest modesty is three parts pride. -"The School for Saints." You are so clever that in any case you will certainly come to grief. For it takes a born fool to drive a good bargain with life, -"The Herb Moon." To die for one's great ideas is glor- ious -and easy. The horror is to out- live them. That is our worst capabil- ity. -"The Ambassador." I make it a rule never to regret any- thing; regret is a bore. I merely call my mistakes experience, -"Some Emo- tions and a Moral." Respectability is something in the constitution. You can't acquire it, and, mercifully, if you haven't got it, you don't feel the need of it, --"The Dream and the Business." The truth is only convincing when it is told by an' experienced liar. -"A Bundle of Life." To see men as they are not, and never can be, is the peculiar privilege of the feminine nature. -"The Sinner's Comedy." She was not a woman one could woo dozing.- "The Sinner's Comedy." Men have no real confidence in wo- men. -"The Dream and the Business." She is not, properly speaking, a pretty woman at all. She is a Manner, -"The Sinner's Comedy." The Knackers. No odds how well you do your task, you'll hear the knocks of those who bask in mediocrity. No man e'er scal- ed the heights of fame but fellows jealous of his game with sneers and gibes were free. When, with his mighty, Dovelike brush, Mike Angelo above the crush, in noble triumph rose, he doubtless heard the knocks and whines of cheap john skates who paint- ed signs and barns and things like those. The rabble couldn't rattle Mike; he turned out works of art the like of which men had not known, he heeded not the carping jays, but went on painting, fifty ways, and sculping things in stone. Do you the' same, if you would win; reply to knocking with a grin, or with a seemly jest; you'll make mistakes -all men do that- but keep a cool head in your hat, alld al- ways do your best. I used to weep and walk the floor when some cold- blooded critic swore that all my work was punk; but now I let the critics slide; my conscience tells me I have tried to turn out decent junk. -Walt Mason. A SIMPLE TARIFF LESSON. In a receni number of the Literary Digest appeared an advertisement of an American automobile manufacturing concern in which selling prices were quoted both for the United States was quoted at $700 and $975 was quoted for the same machine in Canada. The highest price quoted - in the United States onanother1 a class of car was $1,- 050, while for the same class of car in Canada the price was $1,425. The difference in price in the two cases is to'the. fact that the duty on' automobiles coming into Canada is 35 per cent. It was proposed, under the Reciproc- ity agreement, to reduce the tax to 30 per cent., and it was this proposed re- duction which assisted in arousing the hostility of Canadian manufacturers to the whole Reciprocity agreement. The increased price which automobibles sell at in Canada, as a result of pro= tection, is an indication of the increas- ed dost of practically all manufactured articles due to the same cause. When Japanese Die:, The Japanese are as characteristic in their funerall custom' as in Other directions, A dead; is often announc- ed as having occurred at the hones of the deceased when it actually took place elsewhere. That is, in. part, due to the fact that the Japanese like to have the death appear as having occurred at home. Soinetina'es a funeral service is held over a relic of the deceased, and a case in point is furnished by a story narrated by a lady who engaged a Jap- anese girl as her maid and took her to America. There the maid died, and in response to a cablegram announcing the sad news, the girl's friends tele- graphed asking the mistress to send back to Japan a lock of the girl's hair and her artificial teeth. The strange request was complied with and when these relics were received they were reverently interred with the Usual na- tive ceremonies. The Mule Was Uninjured. Senator John Sharp Williams, whose supply of darky stories seem inexhaust- ible, tells this new one: "I was proceeding leisurely., along a Georgia road on foot one day, ' when I met a conveyance drawn by a mule and containing a number of negro field hands. The driver, a darky of about 20, was endeavoring to induce the mule to increase its speed, when suddenly the animal let fly with his heels and dealt him such a kick on the head that he was streched on the gropnd in a twinkling. He lay rubbing his wooly pate where the mule had kicked him. "Is he hurt?" I asked an older' negro who had jumped from the conveyance 'and was standing over the prostrate dri- ver. "No, boss" was the old man's reply; "d at mule walk kind of tendah for a day or two, but he al -nit hurt." The Ridgetown Dominion reports the following: -"Last fail a number of farmers living around Port Burwell formed an association to ship their apples to the Old Country. Altogether between two and three thousand barrels were•shipped. Only the very choicest hand pfeked fruit was sent, the farm- ers doing the packing and furnishing the barrels. A few days ago the re- turns were received, and one of the members of the association, a promi- nent farmer from that section, stated that after expenses had been paid, the fruit brought 52 cents a barrel, and as the barrels cost 47 cents each, actually only 5 cents a barrel was realized on the apples. As buyers here were offer- ing $1.25 and $1.50 for the apples on the trees doing their own picking, na- turally the association is very much disappointed. .s9.sas..am "17 Cents a Day" Offer .

ROMANCE OF A• SHOVEL An Idea That Won a Fortune Few ■ , Railway Laborer. The simplest labor saving device may Quite possibly be worth a fortune. One day a good many years ago a number of• men were at work on the roadbed of a line of railway in course of construction between Birmingham and Manchester. They were cutting through a hill and moving the material by loosening it with picks, shoveling It into barrows and wheeling it away. The shovels they were using were known as Irish shovels, with a square cornered blade about fifteen inches long. The .work progressed but slow- ly, and the subcontractor in charge re- buked his workmen for not making quicker progress. One of them replied that if he would grind off the corners of the shdyelsit would be easier to get them into the earth, and, consequently, they would- be '4ble to work more quickly: - The contrietor ridiculed the idea, which be Considered a piece of inso. lance. on She part of ;he workman. hut" the uavvy was quite in earnest and not easily discouraged. When the wort. was completed be discussed the mat ter with a friend of his at Sheffield who persuaded an ironmonger he knee to make a dozen or so as nn expt'ri ment. The tools were offered to s. , large contractor, who promised to let some of his men use the new shovel: and report results. About a geek afterward the win tractor returned wit b the inform:trios that his men were fairly quurrelim; a: to who should use the new tools; suns arriving to work a quarter of nn hem before time iu order to be there lira when the tool box wits opened. Thi navvy's suggestion had proved a goon one.

WINTER FEEDING QF DAIRY CATTLE Good, early cut hay should form the basis upon which we make up the ra- tions fon Our cows in winter, writes W., M. Kelly in the Iowa Bomestead. Thie. may consist of clover, alfalfa or mixed hay and shouldbe supplemented with some form of succulence, preferably corn ensilage. It is a poor system of winter feeding that does not provide an abundance of good, palatable bay and roughage. When we have good hay and silage the amount of grain foods and commercial byproducts re- quired to maintain a suitable flow of milk will be reduced to a minimum. However, I believe that under ordinary farm conditions it will be a paying in - SOUR R!

Dur- ing the first five years of the decade the avert.:e production of aged Hol- stein cows on a seven days' test was 297.5 pounds of milk and 13,9 pounds of milk fat, while In the last five years of the decade the average production of this, class was 432.9 pounds of milk and 15.3 pounds of milk fat. This gain was due in large part to improved breeding, feeding and selection of the dairy stock. The Holstein cow Duchess de Kol Itorndylte, here shown, av- eraged 4.11 per cent of butter fat last year. •estment to buy some grain food to feed along with the home grown fod- ders and silage. • The question of how much grain food May be fed with economy is a matter that must be governed largely by the condition of the cows, the price of milk and its products and prices of the grain foods that are to be fed. It 1s my judgment that it will prove the most economical to make home grown foods play a more important part in the rations, especially when we have good silage and proteinaceous hay and fodders at baud. The cattle,will main- tain a better condition than when they are forced to their utmost capacity on n ration of concentrated dairy foods. When we make a specialty of all the year around dairying we are enabled to carry our cows through the winter in better condition than when they are allowed to go dry late in the fall and kept through the winter on starvation rations. A cow that comes fresh along in the fall and is well fed and cared for during the winter, will go out to pasture in the spring and give very nearly as large a flow of milk as a cow that freshens in the spring while she is in a rundown condition. She will be dry during fly time, which is the unprofitable season for milk produc- tion, consequently the loss of milk will be less than at any other period during the year. She will freshen at a time when dairy products are bringing the very best price, for, as a rule, October and November are months of high prices for all kinds of dairy products. It is a big mistake for a dairyman to allow his cattle to become run down in vitality and flesh during the winter. The cow that goes out to pasture in a weak, rundown condition will re- quire the best part of the summer tc get back to her normal condition. Self preservation is the first law of animal nature, and a cow that is in poor con- dition will put her fat upon her back before she will put it in a pail. Feed Sheep Regularly. Sheep should be fed regularly in the winter. In fact, as much depends on the regularity of feeding as on the feeding itself. Those who are familiar with the characteristics of sheep know that they always become restless about feeding time. The value of regular feeding has been demonstrated by experiments with two flocks. One Ntias fed daily at 6 o'clock in the morning and again in the evening, while the other was fed at different times during the day. rhe result was that the flock fed reg- ularly turned out in a thrifty condi- tion in the following spring, while the ethers were thin and sickly. Many of the latter flock had died during the winter. Fully 8 per cent of the IambS had either died at birth or made only a stunted growth. The Choking Horse. Some horses are prone to choke om dry feed such as oats or meal. If the mass be in the upper part of the gul- let it may be reached by the hand Of. one experienced In giving balls.
