as Indicating that the butter contain-

FEEDING PROFITABLY.
The feeding of stock both during
growth and to properly finish for mar-
ket, should be done on business prin-
ciples, says a writer In Successful
Farming.
The amount of food required to
rake a pound of grain should be
known as well as the manner of com.
bining the different materials, so as to
form the best results to secure the
purpose for which it is being given.
It is necessary to know what it
tosts to grow an animal for market,
and this can only be known by know-
{ng the value of pasturage and feed
given. Get the cost of properly fitting
an animal for market and it is com-
paratively easy when (it Is sold to

Corean Patriotism,
The Coreans have been called an un
patriotic people. This may be true if
patriotism means a passionate desire
for the welfare of one's country; but
if a consuming desire for the pre
servation of national identity is pa.
triotism, then the Coreans are indeed
patriotic. The one thing they fear Is
national extinction, whether such ex
tinction would mean better govern.
ment or not. They would rather live
without equitable government, with.
out sanitation, without education,
without any of the concomitants of
civilization, If with these they must
also accept foreign domination.
From Homer B. Hulbert's “Corea, the
Bone of Contention,” in the Century.

that it was made by the Senate of the

while she was at Girton College, she
took, in 1894, first clase honors in two
triposes--history and law, Her pre.
vious education was obtained at Tru-
ro High School, for she is Cornish,
and between school and college she
spent three years in Germany, France
and Italy. On leaving Cambridge Miss
Pomn read law with Sir Frederick
