TIi ew Method of Farming.
There la to muoh iuterest In irrig
tlon, now that the surveys of Mj.
Towell and the department reports
prove that it is necessary la a third of
oar territory, that Colorado items are
timely. Field and Farm of that State,
is enthusiastic over the increased pro
duct of corn and alfalfa. These two
leading products must necessarily be
utilized reduced to money and the
farmer can find no better way than by
feeding them to steers. Those who
hare not the cattle can buy them cheap
ly of those who bare, and hazard but
little risk of miking it pay. At the
present eutlook there will be no fors
tones in feeding, but if the farmer gets
fair price for bis hay and grain pro
duct, with a trifla added for his time
in feeding, be should be content. This
caa be done cheaply by good selection
and judicious management.
Let us see for a moment : A well
bred twelve hundred pound steer can
be bought these times for for two and a
half cents per pound, which will be
How if this steer is put to feeding by
the middlw of the present month and
kept feeding until be has consumed a
too of and a half or two tons of alfal
fa and thiity bushels of corn, he will
have increased his weight 200 pounds,
when he should bring in the market at
home or abroad from 45 to 233. This
would give the farmer thirty-fiv cents
a bushel lor his corn and ?3 a ten for
his hay. To obtain this increased
weight in th steer he must be shelter
ed though, and fed with au at nr. dance
--must never be allowed to go hungry
or shiver with cold.
A few years sro we were jeered at
for saving that Colorado would yet be
come agrand feeding and beef produe
leg state. Those who doubted then do
not doubt now. Thy have become the
advocates of it. It is patent that we
have th ability to fed and fatten large
nuaibers of cttle--cau do as cheaply as
any and at as good a profit: as anv of
the western state. It is bing done.
In fact our farmers will soon be forced
to feed or have no market for their
leading products. Thy have the best
feed rn the world and the best climate
Id which to feed. It only needs the
knowledge bow to feed, when to feed
and the determination to do, when suc
cess will reward the undertaking.

A young girl who occupies a minor
posit ion in tbe clerical department cf
a large railroad company declared one
day in a paselonace tone: "I'd give
anything in tbe world if I were oat 0?
the X, Y and Z offices I"
"AVhy?" asked ber friend, knowing
that tbe position was fully as good as
she could expect to bold.
"Because I've started out wrong and
I can't get rtght.
' I thought when I began that I
could be ob friendly, sociable terms !
with tbe men in tbe offlce, and have
nice, easv times with them as we work
ed together day by day. But, oh 1 it
hasn't turned out as I thought it would
at all ! Tbey treat me in a familiar,
slap-yon-on-the-back sort of a way that
humiliates me constantly.
"When I come in in tbe morning
tbey say : 'Jennie, what have you got
that thing around your neck for?' or
tbey ask it" I didn't forget some of my
balr pins. And when I try to resent it
they only laugh at me. I am fairly de
graded in my own eyes, and I can't
help it, because I've started out
wrong."
There is a lesson bere for tbe vast ar
my of girla and yonng women who are
privileged, under our liberal eocial re
quirements, to go out into tbe world
and esrn their own livings.
It is bard for a cm who bss lived a
free and unconstrained life at borne, en
tenalnirg ber male friends, usually in
her mo'ber's presence, and always with
her sanction, to realize that the Bime
unstudied atmosphere should not pre
vail in a put'ic offlse.
She dues not take into account that
she has not 'he accustomed background
of home and parents to conntenarce her
innocent gayety. The proverbial inch
is g'ven. and the ell taken, and oftm
whrn it is too late she finds that thai
charmed circle of womanly sinctlty.
which is every girl's birthright, Is trod
den down acd obliterated.
Ilt-r name is bandied from one pair of
maecnline lips to another, ber actions
op-niy commented on, the derails of her
dress discussed. She finds berself
treated as a sort of anomalous creature,
not a woman, and uot commanding tbe
respect and deference due a woman. It
mons'rous and humiliating, and once
allowed, is nearly irremediable.
Girls, earn your independence If yon
must, or will ; go as a wage-earner luto
theothceor the shop, but carry with
you thiit tweet an womanly reserve
which Is at once your chatm and your
s&fi-gurd. Be sure that you "start
out right."

There was once in Harrow school a
very poor boy. the son of a am ill trades
man !n Harrow, who was very much
hart by thouahtlees taunts about the
poverty of his faixi'y, and he used to
y : "Never mind ; 1 lnteud Lt-fore I
die to ride in a coach and four not a
very noble ambition ; but long before
Dr. Parr died he had become the great
eat ecaofar of his age, and habitually
rode in a coch and four. hen War
ren Il-s ines ws a bor he used to
grieve at the fact that his family had
lost their paternal estate at D-iylesford,
and to say : "I wi!l bny that back."',
II grew op to be the great proconsul j
or in- age- ; ne rount back the es
tatn, and he died at Daylesford. I had
the honor of knowing Mr. George
Mrare. Yoa may remember that he
came to I.ir.don a poor, utkon, uo
befriended (umber'and lad. When be
entered a great ccmmerctal establish
ment his ambition was : "I in'.ccd to
marry my master's daughter and be
come my master's p-trtner." Both
those things he accomplished. lie not
onlv lecame a very wealthy man, but
what was InSnitely better, a man of
great et-rvlcs to bis generation. Atxut
sixty years ago there was a boy of Jew
ish extraction, a clerk In a solicitor's
office, and to the intense amusement of
his companions be used to say : "I in
tend to be Prime Minister of England,"
and in spite of scorn ha became Prima
Ministtr, and Lis name was Benjamin
Disraeli. N.ne'y years ago there was
a boy in Staffordshire who had been
told exactly what I am telling yon
that any boy who determined to be
this or that could be, and he eaid : 4If
that be tru. 1 will test it ; end I am
determined to te prime Minister of Eo-glar-d."
That boy became Prime Min
is' er, and bis name was Robert Peel.
S.me fifty years ago there was a very
rule and un?iin'y looking bay who
seemed as if all bis limbs were out of
joint ; when seven years old he was
ehoeless and penniless, who at seven
teen was driving a canal boat, at
twenty was a iai'-eplitter, at twenty
two was at tbe bead of a small shop
which was very successful, but who
us-d to amuse his comrades by saying :
'Never mind ; I intend to become
President of the Uoit'd Statts." Ilia
name was Abraham L'EccIl. Ir is dog
ged that dries it, and it is thorough that
I does it. After all his failures Lincoln
j thought he would take to tbe law. He
' bought a '.aw bock, and after breakfast
he used go to out and sit undr a tree,
; ard with his legs higher than his head,
move round tbe trees in the shade from
morn to dwy eve. In that way be
i mastered the Jaw bonk, and In time be
' cme one of the greatest of the modern
Presidents of America.
Ax IrUhmeo who had teen bronatt
op Id tbe country wbtre s'onea lay loose
about tbe fields, and tbe djts. oo ac
count of the ibefp, were kept In ken
ne'a, visited a city for tbe first time,
when a dog rushed oat and barked at
him. lie stopped and tried to pull a
stone out of the pavement to flirt at
tbe c nr. but found it fast. "Faith,"
said he, "this is a qnare coantree where
alt tbe dogs are loose and all the stones
axe tied !"

This it IVonian's Way.
Watch a woman or a girl read a
novel And If yoa bare watched one
of course you have watched more. It
la curious and interesting- work, and
gives cue quite an insight Into a wo
man's character, for tbey do not all
raid novels la tbe same way. Of course,
tbe majority read for tbe simple object
of passing tbe time away, without car
ing for plot or style ; they devour
everything tLat comes in their way,
hardly knowing what it la, and forget
the whole story as soon as tbey have
turned tbe last leaf and closed tbe
covers. Tbese art o'.d bands at novel
reading, and so lone as they find tem
porary amusement and time flies ly
unnoticed, tbey care not for lovers'
woes or ways, nor whether the climax
Is happj or uDhappy.
But tbe sentimental school girl and
the romantic young woman go to work
in a very differett way. Tbey will
pick up a book and read tbe title ats
tentively, and then the title page,
gloating over it if by chance it bap
pens to contain a line of poetry. Tbey
will then open the book at the first
cbnpter and read its title and tbe fuw
head lines of poetry, if there happens
to be any, and so ou through tbe whole
volume to tbe very last page. In this
way tbey get a vague idea of the story
and gauge tbe Interest of it by the
quantity aad quality of the verse con
tained there in. After the skimming
process they begin to read at tbe be
ginning of tbe first chapter and read
steadily through to the very end, thor
oughly ecjoyiog It all, and remember
ing fairly wel. the plot, names of the
characters and the principal incidents.
Tbese readers have good memories.
They read more for the ptory than for
style, and reading s'owly and carefully,
they do not go through many bocks
during the year, but re mt-mber those
tbey do read. Opposite to this claea of
readers is the unsentimental and un
rom at lc class of women, both married
and single. They eklp all the poetry
and most of the love-making, atid care
only for Ibe development of the plot.
They gal!op through book after book of
intricate plots, caring little how the
story ends, so far as a hero and heroine
are concerned they are simply curious
to know how much ingenuity the au
thor can show in tbe weaving of a plot.
Tbe impatient woman reads tbe last
chapter of the novel first. She rct
know the fate of tbe lovers before she
caa consent to barrow her mivd by
reading of their quarrels,- disappoint
dents and separations. When, she
lears in tbe last chapter tbat every
thing eomeB out all right and every
body Is happyt then, and then only,
will she turn to th- first page and pa
tiently wads through 300 pages of
douots and trials, confllent of the ulti
mate joys of the despairing lovers.
Acd then there is tbe woman who
reads only for style, caring Botning for
plot, and taking little interest in tbe
characters. Another type Is the wnm
an who reads for Information, devour
ing everything that comes in ber way,
reading rapidly and carelessly, it ap
pears to observers, but she gets what
she reads for acd remembers it. Ask
her eny question about tbe books she
reads or has read within the past four
or five years. arvl she will give you an
accurate answer.
Ancient Inks.
According to tLe Roman naturalist,
riiny and other authors, the basis of
ink usrd by ardent wrlttra whs formed
of lampblack, or the black taken from
burt ivory and soot from furnaces and
baths. Some have also surp ed tbat
the blaek liquor which th cuttle-fish
yields was trfquently employed. One
thing Is certain, what whatever were
tbe component ingredients, from the
blackness and eolidity in tbe most an
cient manuscripts, from an itiketand
found at Ilerculaneum, in which the
ink af pears as thick as oil, and from
chemical aualjsia the ink of antiquity
was much more onaque, as encaustic,
than tbat which is used in modern
times. Inks of different colors were
much in vogue. Red. purple,:blue, and
gold and silver inks were the principal
varieties. The red was made frem ver
milion, cinnabar and carmine ; ot
which, culled the purple encaustic, was
appropriated to the exclusive use of the
emperors. Golden ink was much more
popular among the Greeks than among
the Romans. During tbe middle or
d-jrk ages the manufacture both of it
and of eilver ink was an extensive and
lucrative branch of trad, and the il
luminated manuscripts which remain
are a striking proof of tbe bigh degree
of perfection to which tbe art was car
ried. Tne making of tbe inks them
selves was a distinct business, and an
other connected with it and to which
it owed its origin was tbat of inscrib
ing the titles, capitals as well as em
phatic words, in colored and gold atd
silver inks.
Experleneo and Training In MechanN
cal vtork.
To be a good mechanic, said Sir Ben
jamin Brown, ac tbe recent meeting of
the British Scientific Association, lonar
training Is necssary ; and, above all.
ability to dls'Ingulsb good from infer
ior work. A regular course of pro
gress rom one branch to another should
be carefully followed, so as to teach
eveiy class of work up to the most dif
ficult. In this tbe real Interest of tbe
employer is the same as that of the lad.
Tiz, to learn every step thoroughly, and
tbao pass on to something more diffi
cult. The author contended that a
long training in a manufactory is abso
lu'ely necessary, and this should be
supplemented by theoretical and tech
nical instruction. "It would probably
be a good gain to give a lid mx or e ght
months of theoretical teaching after he
is out of his apprenticeship. The old
fashioned svstem of apprenticeship, not
much shortened, and wJtb very slight
modifications, is the only reliable meth
od foi either employer or mechanic to
learn bis business ; but, as woik has
become more scien.iilc and e'aborate, it
Is necesstry for any young m-tn
to excel to have a good theoretical and
technical tialninz in addition tn his
I factory experience."
