■ 1 j S IImKBUHBHI ijjgj Cement Talk No. 2 Portland Cement docs not come from Portland, Maine, or Portland, Ore gon, and it was not first made at cither of these places. It is called Portland because it was given this name by the Englishman who first made it. lie called it Portland because he thought it resembled cer tain natural deposits on the Isle of Port land in England. Portland Cement is the fine powder produced by pulver izing the clinker resulting from the burning together of various materials of prop er chemical composition. In tie case of Universal Portland Cement, these raw mater ials are blast furnace slag and pure limestone. There are many brands of Portland Cement on the market, produced by different manu facturers.

George Mockler has just returned from an investigation of what coal Is costing some of the other cities. He brought this story from Balti more: An Irishman there inherited a coal mine up in the state. He immedi ately entered the lists for one of the big coal contracts and went around to say a good word for his coal. The man who was letting the con tract heard him a moment, and then Interrupted with: "That's all right, but how about British thermal units?" The other, being new to the coal business, did not know that coal la rated now according to the British thermal units in tests. "Phat's that!" he said. "How many British thermal units are there In your coal?" The Irishman blinked his eye and snorted a bit. "British thermal units is it?" he said. "Why there ain't wan in it." ■ —St. Louis Post-Dispatch. WAS IT ABSENT-MINDEDNESST OPJ & mt <SV» Mrs. Nelson —My husband is awfully absent-minded. Mrs. Bilson —In what way?

AGRICULTURE AND LIVE STOCK ARE MAINSTAYS OF HUMANITY England, Home and Birthplace of Greatest Breeders and Farmers World Has Ever Known, Owes Honored Position to Aristocracy Who Acquired Ways of Improving Soil and Anlraals. « A Bunch of Fat Steers. my (-APT. A. IT. WADDELL.) The most useful citizen the coun | try can produce is the man who looks | upon the soil of the earth and says, | "What can I grow from it or produce i upon it?" Agriculture and live stock are the main stays of humanity, and it is to ! the husbandman and breeder that | kings and princes as well as the hum- J ble peasant must turn with thankful ] ness and gratitude not only for the ! blessings of life, but for existence it ! self. Great Britain, the home and the birthplace of the greatest breeders and farmers the world . has ever known, owes this honored position to j l the aristocracy of that country. It | was these people who of their means | and abundance sought for and ac | quired the ways of enriching and im | proving the soil and the animals that I grazed upon it. Let an example by the highest in | the land, the country squire, the gen tleman farmer, and eventually the ! tenant farmer himself, each to a ! greater or lesser extent, strive to copy the teachings of the lords of the manor until a keen rivalry of the | most friendly nature sprang up be j tween landlord and tenant, in a con | test for supremacy in the productions j of the farm and the live stock that j were bred thereon. Agricultural shows sprang up in ! the various counties at which were to j be seen the great draft horses, cat i tie, sheep and swine of the large I landed proprietors, standing side by side, though in lesser numbers, with I those of the tenant farmer and even | the humble cottager. Looking on and ! keenly observant, could be seen the noble lord with his wife and chil dren as well as the tenant farmer and the cottager with all the mem bers of their households and waiting for the verdict of the judges who in those early days stamped themselves as the master breeders, and whose names are written down upon the role of honor of England's great breeders and agriculturists. Today, not only do the titled peo ple, country gentlemen and farmers of that land continue in their breed ing and its still further improvement, but the professional and business men of the towns and cities have taken it up to such an extent and with such interest and consummate skill, that it is difficult to find a man of wealth j who has a taste for breeding and farming who is not occupying his leis j ure moments in this way. It is this splendid state of affairs that has made breeding and farming what, it is in Great Britain today, and while that glorious old country can learn much from the great, young, robust and healthy United States, it | is gratifying to see American gentle j men of wealth taking a lesson from | the mother's book and going in for i legitimate methods of pedigreed stock- INTERIOR OF COLONY HOUSE B | p 1 hi | TRAP AEto F - " J- H-, [d Ed" II ll' ZJ C-, u ur C<V , -SoPOtY H <Lv 3 —E C » =3 t -F ,, The Illustration shows the interior arrangement of the colony houses used at the Alacdonald (Canada) college.

BAD SHOEING INJURES FEET Other Troubles Cause Horses ta Step Ginsrerly When Kx uiulcd Good Remedy Is Hecomniendi'd (By J. BAILEY BRUCE.) Owing to bad shoeing and also many other causes many horses suffer with contracted feet. The heels are narrowed and the horse steps gingerly with a desire to extend himself when forced to trot or gallop. The writer is now using a horse 21 years old and when he drove him for the first time in December last saw that he experienced great difficulty ill extending himself and especially on rough or stony roads. He was shod with heel calks on the front as well as the hind feet and it I was very perceptible that the heels of I his front feet were too narrow. After three unsuccessful trials with regular blacksmiths the horse was ex amined by a competent veterinary sur geon who pronounced his trouble to be contracted heels. He had them shod perfectly level in front, springs were placed in between the back of his shoes to keep tht heels spread and a piece of sole leather was tacked across the lillows of the hoof below the hoof and the shoes to pro tect the sole of the foot and break the jar of traveling on rough and stony places. About once of twice a week a hoof ointment consisting of one pint of Neat's foot oil with two tablespoon fuls of oil of tar was applied on the outside of the front feet with a soft rag and then, raising the edge of the leather, a little is poured over the sole of the foot and a few drops in the heel cleft. Since the last shoeing and following the treatment above described the horse has improved wonderfully in hts road work and rarely flinches, even going at a 12-mile-an-liour slip. Range Sheep. It is estimated that about 5,000,000 range sheep are fattened in the corn belt each season. HIS BRAVE ACT UNREWARDED 1 Bestowal of Two Black Eyes Alto gether Too Much for Heiress to Overlook. They were a pleasant party at the country house, and it was only nat ural that Harvey Hardupp should ' fall In love with Clarissa Coyne, the heiress. One afternoon they went for a row ion the river, but their boat struck a I floating tree and sank, leaving them | struggling in the water. Mad with terror, she threw her I arms around his valiant neck, almost strangling him. But he was deter mined to save her, so raising his fist j he struck her twice, making her un j conscious, and thus enabling him to j save her. She was carried to her room, and j next day, when Harvey called, this I note was handed to him: "Sir —I quite admit that it was | necessary to make me unconscious j in order to save me, but you might have been careful not to black both my eyes. We part forever! —C. Coyne." HIS COLOR CHANGED. it comes to lovo ( mnking Harold is rather green, isn't he? Myrtle—Not now. Evelyn—lndeed! Myrtle—No, he's blue; I rejected j him last evening. Absurd. Among the recent visitors to a 1 | metropolitan museum was a woman J i from a rural district, who was much i interested in the ancient pottery ex | hibits. The attendant pointed out one col i lection of beautiful old vases, say ing: "Those were dug up at Herculan eum." "What!" exclaimed the woman from | the country. "Dug up?" "Yes, madam." "Out of the ground?" "Just as they are now. They were | cleaned up a bit, but they were found | about as you see them." With an expressive toss of the | head, the lady from the country i turned to her companion and said: "He's a nice-looking young feller, 1 but I don't bel'eve what he says. They never d g up no ready-made j pots out of th> ground."—Llppincott's ; Magazine. Avoid Disputation. The disputatious person never makes I a good friend. In friendship, men look for peace and concord and some j measure of content. There are i enough battles to fight outside, enough Jarring and Jostling in the street, enough disputing in the market place, I enough discord in the workaday I world, without having to look for con- J j tention in the realm of the inner life ] ' also. There, if anywhere, we ask for j j an end of strife. Friendship is the | sanctuary of the heart, and the peace j of the sanctuary should brood over it. j j Its chiefest glory is that the dust and noise of contest are excluded. —Hugh | Ulack. GET POWER. The Supply Comes From Food. If we get power from food why not i strive to get all the power we can. ; That Is only possible by use of skil ; fully selected food that exactly tits | the requirements of the body. Poor fuel makes a poor Are and a I poor Are is not a good steam producer. "From not knowing how to select | the right food to fit my needs, I suf | fered grievously for a long time from j stomach troubles," writes a lady from a little town in Missouri. "It seemed as if I would never be ' i able to find out the sort of food that j was best for me hardly anything that 1 [ could eat would stay on my stomach. E»ery attempt gave me heartburn and fUled my stomach with gas. 1 got thinner and thinner until I literally b«caine a living skeleton, and in time was compelled to keep to my bed. A few months ago I was persuaded to try Grape-Nuts food, and it had such good effect from the very beginning that I have kept up its use ever since. I was surprised at the ease with which I digested it. It proved to be just what I needed. "All my unpleasant symptoms, the heartburn, the inflated feeling which gave me so much pain disappeared. My weight gradually Increased from 9ii to 116 pounds, my ligure rounded out, my strength came back, and I am now able to do my housework and en joy it. Grape-Nuts food did it."

Out of more than 225 public hos- J pitals for the insane, with a popula tion of fully 150,000, only 70, or less than one-third, make any provision for their tuberculous inmates, and this, too, in spite of the fact that the percentage of deaths from this disease i3 very high among this class of peo ple. Such is the substance of a state ment made recently by the National Association for the Study and Preven tion of Tuberculosis. Seventy hos pitals in 28 states, providing all told about 3,350 beds for tuberculosis in sane patients, sums up the provision made for this class of sufferers, al though the percentage of deaths from tuberculosis among the insane ranges from 50 to 200 per cent, higher than among the general population. A Human Cruet-Stand. Several villagers were discussing a departed sister who had been given to good deeds but was rather too fond of dispensing sharp spoken advice. "She was an excellent woman." said the deceased lady's pastor. "She was constantly in the homes of the poor and afflicted. In fact, she was the salt of the earth." "She was more than that," remark ed a villager. "She was the vinegar, the pepper and the mustard as well. She was a perfect cruet stand of Vir tues." —London Tit-Bits.
