"You are tired, out of breath still, with

She did not hesitate for a moment; but

WHAT YUAN SRI SAYS.
A Remarkable Document Issued by
The Chinese Napoleon.
Isere is a remarkable personal
document in which the Chinese
Napoleon, Yuan Shi Kai, calls on
the world "to believe that he had
been a convert to republican ideas
long before the revolution broke
out, and took high heaven to wit-
nese that he would never be false
to the charge the nation had con-
fided to him." The document is
published in a Foreign Office paper.
"Frown my student clays I, Yuan
Shi Kai, have admired the example
of the Emperors Yao and Shun,.
who treated the empire as a public
trust and considered that the re-
cord of a dynasty in history for
good or ill is inseparably bound up
with the public spirit or self-seek-
ing by which it has been animated.
Oa attaining middle age I grew
more familiar with foreign affairs,

lican systemsin France and Amer-
ica, and felt that they were a trite
embodiment of the democratic pre-
cepts of the ancients. When last

James and John were discussing
sensitive people in general, when
James said to John : "1 don't know
how it comes, but I am very sensi-

self that were never intended for
me." "Oh 1" exclaimed John. "I

Profitable Dairy harming.
What is successful dairy farmingf.
asks a writer on dairy topics. It is
not just squeezing through year
after year with little or nothing to
show for one's work, There must
be a fair margin of profit after all
expenses are paid, And yet hosts
of farmers seem to be satisfied with
the squeezing through process, says
"Successful Farming." It is poor
business and we all know it when
wt sit down and think it over seri-
ously.
Successful farming is doing this
year a little better than we did lag6
year. Getting more milk from each
cow and better milk at that. Malt-
ing better butter .and more of it,
Selling it at a better figure and
pleasing our customers better than
we ever did in the days gone by.
Successful dairy farming moans
getting together a herd of cows by
purchasing if time presses, by im-
proving our own stock if that can
be done profitably. Without doubt
the latter is the more satisfactory,
method.
Successful dairy farming means
knowing one's cows better than in
the past. Understanding each in-
dividual cow is an art, Some folks
think a cow is a cow anyway and
that is all there le to it. Mistaken
ideas. All cows are not cast in the
same mold any more than all men
are.
Then the question of good feed-
ing comes in with suooessful farm-
ing. Economy is not always scrimp-
ing. A great big study is this
dairy farming. Are you studying
Pall Seeding of Clover.
Some farmers think that fall is
the best time in which to sow clo-
ver seed, while others are equally
as sure -that spring is -the best. If
the right kind of seed is provided
and the seedbed properly prepared,
the seeding may be successfully
done either in the spring or in the
fall. If, however, poor seed is
sown and the ground is nob pro-
perly prepared there is liable to be
a failure, no matter when the work
is done.
I have had success in sowing
both in the fall and in the spring.
I cannot see much difference. Fall
sowing - is generally preferable,
because it can be done at a time
when there is nob so much rush
work on the farm. This being true,
a better job can be done, and, con-
sequently,, a better stand will be
the result.
When 1 intend to sow clover in
the fall, I plow the ground about
the middle of August. About ten
days after being plowed it is har-
rowed thoroughly and levelled with
a long float. This float is made
similar to a road drag and, in pass-
ing over the field, levels the ground
very smoothly. Either in the
spring or fall seeding this float
should be used.
In about a week after the ground
has been harrowed and levelled
with the float, it is worked again
with a harrow, followed by a light
planker. Then I sow the plot to
rye, placing on about three pecks'
to the acre, mild harrow the ground
twice, once each week. After this;
is done, I sow the clover seed at`
the rate of fifteen pounds to the.
acre, and give the ground one light
harrowing.-H.U.
The Poultry Read Louse.
The head louse attacks young
chicks generally before they are
feathered out, and is first found on
tlto head with its claws or feedert
sunk into the skin of the head. Ail
they become more numerous theS
atteak the throat and neck as
well. The remedy is simple, but
it takes a little time. Each chick
must have its head greased with
lard, cottonseed oil or olive oil,
You will have to look closely to
see these insects, They are very
destructive to chickens and must
be controlled or exterminated if
the chick is to be healthy.
