The fact that dairymen have de-
voted more attention to other phases
of their dairying than to the breeding
and development of the cow is one of
the reasons why so many of our dairy
herds are not capable of returning
a profit from their food and coat of
attendance.
We are often asked which la the
best breed of dairy cattle to select for
the dairy? To such men 1 would say
that there is no best breed. Some
think because they have Jerseys they
are on the royal road to success.
Others think that the Holsteins will
bring prosperity to the farm.
This Is a sad mistake, for scrubs
are very common among the pure-
breeds, and a pure-bred scrub is with-
out doubt the worst scrub of all.
Select cows having individual ex-
cellence as determined by tbe Babcock
lest and scales in starting a herd.
Better and more uniform results of
breeding may be secured if the ani-
mals are of one type of breed and
great care should be exercised in get-
ting Individuals which possess to a
certainty the characteristics we desire
to perpetuate in the herd.
What we dairymen want is a herd
of cows that will give a profit at the
pail, whether pure-breda or grades.
The ones that will produce a pound of
butter or cheese the cheapest are th$
ones that we want to keep in our
herds.
We have a number of Improved
breeds of dairy cows that represent
the skill of years in their perfection,
but in adopting any of these breeds
we should consider the conditions and
environments under which they have
This should not be followed up too
closely. Plan to have the heifers drop
their first calves at about 24 to 30
months of age. Their offspring will
be more vigorous and there will be
better results than by forcing an im-
mature animal to bear progeny.
Breed cows are large feeders. Feed
them a liberal ration of milk-produc-
ing foods and give them the best of
care. Keep In mind that bad qual-
ities are more easily transmitted than
the good ones.

A mulch of oats or sorghum is the
best thing I know of that may be
sown between the rows.
Oats alone has been tried, but from
the fact that we often have a very
dry fall it has not always made a
satisfactory growth before frost
Sorghum or kafllr corn are dry
weather plants, and If there is suffi-
cient moisture In the soil to germin-
ate the seed they will grow till frost
A good plan is to sow oats and sor-
ghum or oats and kaffir corn in mix-
ture and thick enough so that It will
not be coarse.
As soon as it Is killed by the frost
the sorghum will fall, making an Ideal
mulch Then, ns the weather becomes
more severe the oats will be killed
Mulch grown in this way will al-
ways be tound thickest where needed
—In bare places and between the
rows.
It canDot possibly smother out tne
plants no matter how rank It grows,
and is the best for keeping the fru't

One of the greatest advantages in
a mulch of this kind is that you are
reasonably sure to have no weeds
sown with it, as is often the case
when using wheat straw.

There are two principal theories
concerning the historical nature of
tho Hook of Father: one, that it la s
veritable history; the other, that It
la a historical romance founded on I
fact, like Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar I
nnd Henry VIII., or like Scott's novels,
or Homer’a great epics. While there
are a number of serious difficulties,
yet there are few if any unanswerable
arguments against its being a true his
tory, Xerxes Is the Greek shortened
form of tho Ahasuerus of Esther, as
York, for Instance, la a shortened form
of the Latin Eboracum. He began to
reign B, C. 485 and ruled for 20 years.
We can best understand Esther by
means of those parts of bis history
which reveal bis character. Xerxes
at the very beginning of his reign
completed the conquest of Egypt
which his father Darius had begun.
On his return he Immediately began
to prepare for the Invasion of Europe,
and especially of Greece.
Xerxes sought a queen In place of
the deposed Vashti. The one select-
ed from tho most beautiful women
of the empire was Esther, a charming
Jewess, a descendant of one of the
exiles, her great-grandfather being
among those carried captive to Baby-
lon by Nebuchadnezzar In 598. Her
Hebrew name was Hadassah, the
myrtle, a beautiful and favorite shrub
In the east. "Esther" means “a star,"
and many think it the same as Ishtar
the Babylonian equivalent of Venus.
Sne must have been quite young at
the time of her marriage, not over
15 years. Four or five years pass,
and then begins the tragic story of
Haman, his rise as a king’s favorite,
his pride incensed at the conduct of
Esther’s cousin Mordecal, his attempt
to bring vengeance upon the whole
Jewish race on Mordecal's account,
his success in obtaining a decree
from the king, throughout his empire,
"to destroy, to kill, and to cause to
perish all Jews, both young and old,
little children, and women, in one
day.”
Great mourning and terrible dis-
tress came upon the Jews all over
the empire as they learned of the de-
cree. Mordecal sent word to Esther,
now about 20 years old, asking her
to go to the king and request the de-
| liverance of her people. Esther re-
plied "Whosoever shall come unto
the king Into the inner court, who la
not called, there Is ono law of his to
put him to death. Except such to
whom the king shall hold out the
golden scepter." There was, there-
j fore, a possibility of Esther’s reach-
1 ing the ears of the king, but with
I the greatest uncertainty as to how
such a capricious king would act,
especially as his love for her had
cooled. The mission Mordecai com-
mitted to Esther was one of great
danger and difficulty. It required the
j utmost heroism.
Esther put on her royal apparel,
j She was a sensible, practical woman,
and used her beauty and charm of
person and of dress to accomplish
her object.
She waited for the fitting time.
The king held out the golden sceptre.
The sign that he received her, and
that the most dangerous part of her
mission was over. Instead of asking
her favor, where bIio would be sur-
rounded by spies and possible ene-
mies, she invited tlte king to a ban-
quet in the seclusion of the Harem
gardens. She Invited Haman her en-
emy to join with tlte king and thus
ward off all suspicion, and at the
same time have him where he could
not escape.
Esther presented her petition in
wise words and pointed out Haman
aa the enemy who was seeking her
life nnd the life of her people. The
king was very angry and immediate-
ly deposed Haman, and had him
hanged on the gallows he had pre-
pared for Mordecal.
The result was a counteracting de-
cree, permitting the Jews to stand
up In their own defet-se, and largo
numbers of their enemies were slain.
Tbe Jews were saved from destruc-
tion, and exalted before the people.
Mordecal took Hainan's place in tho
government. The feast of Purlm was
instituted with great feasting and
Joy, ar.d has been celebrated annual-
ly ever since on the fourteenth of
Adar, I'ebruary-March, one month be-

THE TEA PENALTY.
'A Strong Man's Experience.
Writing from a busy railroad town
the wife of an employe of one of the
great roads says:
"My husband is a railroad man who
has been so much benefited by the use
of Postum that he wishes me to ex-
press his thanks to you for the good
It has done him. Ilia waking hours
are taken up with his work, and he
has no time to write himself,
"He has been a great tea drinker
all his life and has always liked It
strong.
"Tea has, of late years, acted on
him like morphine does upon most
people. At first it soothed him, but
only for an hour or so, then it began
to affect his nerves to such an extent
that he could not sleep at night, and
he would go to his work in the morn-
ing wretched and miserable from the
loss of rest. This condition grew con-
stantly worse, until his friends per-
suaded him, some four months ago, to
quit tea and use Postum.
"At first he used Postum only for
breakfast, but as he liked tho taste of
It, and it somehow seemed to do him
good, he added it to his evening meal.
Then, ns he grew better, be began to
drink It for his noon meal, and now
he will drink nothing else nt table.
"His condition Is so wonderfully im-
proved that he could not be hired lo
give up Postum and go back to tea.
Ills nerves have become steady and
reliable once more, and his sleep is
easy, natural and refreshing.
He owes all this to Postum, for ho
has taken no medicine and made no
other change In his diet.
His brother, who wns very nervous
from coffee-drinking, was persuaded
by us to give up the coffee and use
Postum and he also has recovered his
health and strength." Name given by
