Alia the mtlhing pait
Be merciful to your aowa If yon
expect to make money ia the .dairy
' business.
The cool nights of fall should sd
nonish dairymen to bouaa their tain
at night. f
■owen freahly eat from the mead
ow* form a taluabir adjunct to the
fall feed of dairy COWL
To allow the cows to lie ia open
past ores until the nights are frees
ing cold is to Invite n steady decrease
in sulk yield.
I'nktn" j(he nights nre wsrm and
pleasant at tkh searon. it Is wise after
the ettning't milking to give the eowa
n feeding ftf fodder corn or freahly j
eat rowen. nnd let them lie on dry •
bedding in the stable nil night. The
fndticr San be fed to thein in their !
Banget s. and will result in n mnch j
mar* bountiful yield of milk in the
morning than if the cons lay out 1
through a frosty night.—National Bn

■ssenflats t> Poslter Caee.
Thercare a few rules absolutely nee- '
eoary in the care of all varietiea of l!
Jf uhry. Feed regularly at stated
time*. aad give no more than will be |
eaten up ciewn. A chaage of fioJ will j ]
be relish* d and will give a good re- ]
tarn. Nests and roosting places must
be kepi clean and free from offensive
®t!or. Fresh, ck an water should be ,
supplied en ry day. Quiet ade and free- I
dom from alarm of any kind are acres- J ■
sary to (onnnd their oonfldence. j]
Whicb Is a very important CO aside raj ]
tion; keep* tbe m familiar with yowr
prescc.ce ami voice, and do not dlsap- ;
point, their confidence, (iround plaa- •'

THE STOEMGTH OF HABIT.
Every nan and woman knows
from obsnvation tbe complete mas
tery *hich habit exercises over
others. Xl*) *R not always, how
ever. aware to what extent they are
themselves subject to it. It is of ten
j a fiu-btion to a man to investigate
the motive of his actions and find
oat bow many things he docs just
because be has always done them
and done them in just the sauic way.
This does not refer to l>ad habits
alone, but to good habits as well,
and it points out tbe necessity of
either forming no habits, or forming
those which are valuable and whole
some.
A philosopher who writes for the
San Francisco Bulletin has recentlv
writteu an editorial in which he ad
dresses to young meti this question:
""Whatdo you do with your eve
nings?' ' He then proceeds to answer
the question and shows very clear
ly that the most disastrous habit
which gets posessiou of a man is
that of wasting his leisure time. In
tbe course of the article lie says:
"There are three or four hours
between the end of dinner and bed
time. Those are very important
boon, and much of a man s career
depends on bow be employs them.
It is safe to say that the majority of
young men waste their evenings.
lAs soon as they rise from dinner
j they leave the house. Perhaps
j they go to a club, perhaps to stand
:on a corner and talk. Very seldom
|do they go to a library where they
I tn.iv read, or to the office where
j tlicy may work.
"Often the monotony of their
evening makes them yawn. They
[are bored at the club, they are sick
jaml tired of lounging, they find
nulling doing on the street corner.
| Hut these young men seem unable
jto stay away from their liquids.—
j Only once in a great while do they
spend an evening at liotue, and on
those in frequent occasions they
usually go to bed very early in order
to make up for losses of sleep on
other nights.
" This way of wasting the eve
nings is a habit and a very had and
very strong habit. It grows on
young men until it becomes a very
serious dise-ipatiou. ■ liven though
a young man does not drink very
much, nor iudulge in excesses of
anv kind, tbe very wasting of time
is an expense of spirit ami an escaj>e
or loss of power. Ihe mechanic,
I the salesman, the lawyer the doctor,
who idle very evening are not
clcar-hcadcd. as fresh, as ready for
{ work and as competent to do it as
I men in tlie same lntsiness who spend
most of their evenings at home read
ling, improving their minds and
| learning wh?t will lie useful to them.
I "No man who ever amounted to
j any thing wasted his evenings,
j Time is too precious to lie squander -
ed. and every moment should lie
i well employed If- a man would
make up his mind to read good
books two hours on five nights of
; every week ten. hours per week he
would put himself in the way of
mnch gain. And if be acted on his
resolution he would fill his mind
with ideas, would train his brain to
think, would improve his taste and
broaden his view, and be would go
to work every morning a better man
than be had been the day previous.
"Tbe man that gives ten hours
a week to study and to the best
authors will soon become a well
read and an educated man. One
hears men lamenting that they had
not the opportunity iu youth of get
ting a good education. Any man |
'at any time of life can get a good j
education if he will read. Ed
; ucation tan be got elsewhere than j
|nt school. Education is the product
of study, and if a man will not
, study, no school can give him an
; education. Why does a young
1 man go to the nniversitv unless it
i iie to find learned men from whose !
' instructions, company, and example ,
lie may profit 1 Is there not a,
: greater, better and vastly more j'
'learned company in a well selected
; libary than all the university facnl-''
ties would make if formed into one j 1
I body?" • I]
| All that the California philsopher j
1 says is true. If you must form
habits let the first one be tbe book
habit. It will let you walk through I
tbe world hand in hand with the 1
greatest spirits the world has known ]
and gather from them the strength j
| that cannot be taken away by any
I turn of Fortune's wheel. —Topeka

EDUCATIONAL FACTS AND
FIGURES.
A Statement of Comparative Ed
ucational Condiiions in Ten
Southern S'ates.
In 1900 the ten «tntes south of
the Potomac and the (>hio and east
of the Mississippi, including Louis
iana had 11 per cent of the total
population of the United States, and »
25 per cent of the school popula
tion; yet only per cenj .of the
total expenditures for public schools
was ma 'c in tltese-shttes -and only
4.1 per cent of ihe $535,t»J3.73'» of
public s*hool proj>erty was in
states. . '
The per capita expenditure lor
public sohools varied from 50 tei.t*
in Alabama and 51 cents in Koith
Carolina 10(4.93 in Massachusetts
and •5 30 in Nevada. The aver
age for the whnle country was $2.-
83; for these ten states only 81}
cents, lbs average per 1 apita for
these states was less than j'u»-lhird
the average for the whole country
and only a little moie than one
fifth the averaijo for the North At
lantic and Western s.tates. The
average salary paid teachers for the
entire school year varied Jrcm >57
tor males and 78 for females in
Massachusetts, The average tor
the whole country, exclusive of
these ten states was $455.02 for
males and {312.21 for ferrates- for
these ten states S'7s for males ai d
$l5O for females. 1 lie average
I number of days of schooling f«>r
tach child ol school ai»e varied from
n i'i North Carolina jto 107 in Mas
sachusetts. For the 'North Atlantic
states it was 87, for the North Cen
tral states 82, for the Western states
80. for 4heM? ten Southern states 41. —~-
It should be remembered a!so that
only 154,000 of the 5,645,1 74 chil
dren of school age in these ten
states were reported As enrolled in
private schools, primary and sec
ondary.
Tne total school fund of these
ten states was only one million dol
lars more than the school fund ot .
Ohio, and the total value of their
public school property was only
one-half the value of the public
school property of Ohio.
A generation has passed since
the close of the war be v.'een the
states, and business men in the
prime of iife whose children are
now in the schools .(.ever heard the
noise of battle or saw a \younded
so dietr sent to ' the rear, These
states are rich beyond comparison
in natural resource,* They are
peopled by a brave and noble race,
h it cxeJitable to us that such com
parisons as the above show such
relative conditions as to education?
If Thomas Jefferson, the great
democratic statesman, were alive
to-day he uiieht well say, as he
did ip the early days of the repub
lic. • 'Above all things I hope the
education of the common people
will be attended to." There is no
other way to power, prosperity and
progress.
