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

Irishman Would Not for a Minute
Allow the Possibility of Such
a Thing.
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."

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-

The example that these gentlemen
are setting in this country will be fol
lowed by the same wholesome and
beneficial results in regard to farming
and pedigreed stock-breeding as was
achieved by the pioneers in England
years ago, until we shall eventually
find all the sections of this country
best fitted by nature for the highest
class of farming and breeding, occu
pied by gentlemen who are now lead
ing the way and setting this splendid
and useful example.
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.

( 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." Name

some facts about food.

Tuberculolsis Patients Neglected.
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.

Advice.
"Now that you've heard my daugh

"Well," the music master replied.
"I hardly know. Don't you suppose you
