^ THE ALBANY ECHO.
"Where Ignorance is Bliss."
Where the twilight lidrtr was tolling,
Oh a bluff Wide the sea.
In a hammock 'twixt two pine trees,
tty young Suodgrass lazily;
breamily the waves below him,
6'fr the shining sea beach crept;
m All the air was hushed aboot him,
All the inland breezes slept,
VVhinlight step, well remembered,
taintI,le tangled grasps throdgh,
AM Hfc Srtid t "Here conies my Laura,
Let us see what she wffl do.
1 will close my eyes In slumber
And pretend I am asleep,
Sue will thiij(c. perchance, fhilt angels
Watch around my pillow keep.
She. perhaps will smile upon me.
And, Oh, height of human bliss,.
She may bend her fair head o'er me,
And awake me with a ki.«s.'f
fearer came the steps and nearer,
Till they paused beside him there,
And he thought, -'now bending o'er me
Are those ey«s divinely fair."
Then as soli as angel's pinion
i$K<shed her hair against his cheek,
But lie kept his eyes still covered.
Though he longed to rise and speak.
Then her lips touched his to coyly,
And lie tiiriied, and with a laugh,
Quick he threw his arms about her,
lie embraced— .4. Jersey Calf.
The Ideal Woman.
According to all recognized
traditions and all prevailing
ideas, Jtlie chief business and
duty of a woman is to be beau-
tiful, attractive, agreeable.
High moral intellectual 'quali-
ties are not demanded of her.
If she has "winning ways"—if
she knows bow to please, to
charm, to amuse, she fulfills her
mission. Such brfing the de-
mand, how can we wonder at
the supply? If man can form
no higher ideal of womanhood
than this, or can heartify ad-
mire none more lofty, what
wonder that the reality so sel-
dom transcends it-? If the best
and foremost men pay homage
to frivilous women with shallow
hearts and unfurnished minds,
what incentive ia given to those
of the sex who are capable of
something better to strive to
realize their nobler aspiratione ?
So long as man seelis nothing
ill her but, a uiy or a plaything,
she will feel content to be what
he desires. And so it is that
i>i our day the most, valuable of
"woman's rights" is the wrong
that is done her in ignoring her
higher nature and capabilities;
the most valuable of "womans'
rights" is the right to be a great
arid noble creature—not a play-
thing. The old notion of wom-
an's intellectual inferiority to
man has long been exploded.
The intellectual difference is
now well understood to be a
difference in quality, not in de
gree.
When we see Gfeorge Elliot,
George Sand, Mis. Mary J.
Holmes Miss May Agnes Flem-
ing and Mrs. M V. Victor, not
to speak of others, distancing
all male competitors in the field
ci fiction; when we see Rosa
Bonheur taking the palm from
all living rivals in her line of
art, we see that women are
edjn'al So sorrteibing nuKler than
is demanded of them. ^Jjnt all
the signs of the times indicate
'•o the sagacious oh^irr; e'r, fhat
the old ideal of womanhood is
soon destined to give place in
the mind of man to a loftier
and worthier type.

'this, regular and careful in

A writer in the Breeders' Ga-
zette says:
"The breepmg of horsea is
without doubt attracting as
much attention as any othei
branch of stock raising, and is
perhaps 'fully as remunerative
as cattle raising, if uojt.niore «o.
Men differ as mueh in their
views as to which is the best
horse or strain of horses to raise
as do breeders of other stock.
It is well that we do not all
fancy the same breed of horses.
There is a place for all breeds,
even the diminutive Shetland
pony. The thought has often
oocurred to me after listen-
ing to the discussions at the
breeders' meetings and farmers'
institutes oif the horse, his rela-
tive value £as to other stock
raised on the farm, and also the
relative value of breeds, if there
was not a point worthy of con-
sideration in the caption of this
article. I have never heaad a
word.said in any meeting about
raising matched horses. To
raise the question, can we not
raise matched horses with a
considetable degree of certainty?
Take any county in the State,
and I doubt, it all the horses in
it were brought together, if
three perfectly matched spans
could be g<5t out of the entire
lot. I mean in age, color, size,
weight, action, speed, etc. Now
why is this, and is there no
remedy ? Who will not admit
that a span of (veil matched
horses will sell for considerable
more, particularly if fine car-
riage or driving horses, than if
not well mated and yet equal in
weight and size.
This being the case, it is a
matter of no small importance
to the horse breeder. Let two
young men engage in horse-
breeding . for the market, one
selecting mares for his stud,
we will say all one shade of
bays, say bright bay for in-
stance, hava them as near all
the same size and form as pos-
sible ; then secure a well-bred
stallion possessing, the same
color and general characteiis-
tics. Follow • this for several
generations, and I waut to know
if the chances are not that there
will be many more matched
teams raised in this stud than
by the other young man whose
mares were of all colors, shapes
and sizes, and bred to a stallion
of mongrel blood ?
Is there anything in this, I
ask ? If so, would it not be
well for those about to engage
in raising horses to be particu
lar in their selections of breed-

Next decide as to the color you
fancy ; then select the breeding
stock in accordance with the
general characteristics of the
breed you adopt. If this is
dofti rrAlu jtfCigment and care,
hewing 'close to the line," ever
keeping in mind that 'like be
gets like," the surplus profits of
a farm at the end of ten years
I have no doubt would be thous-
ands of dollars ahead of the
one conducted without regard
to mating.
Sorghum Cane for Stock.
A writer in the Spirit of the
Farm speaks in the following
eulogistic terms of sorghum
cane as a stock feed:
"In experience with the vari-
ous kinds of food to fatten
quickly and with the least ex-
pense I find nothing equal to
sorghum cane. I cannot say
that my experience has extend-
ed sufficiently far for me to
give you an article on the sub-
ject that will be of interest to
your readers, for my feeding ex-
periments have thus far beeu
onriffried to mules and youug
cattle, and at the tjme of year
when grain wav abundant T
^hje
the mules, fattened them more
than six acres of corn gathered
and fed in the e.ir I was so
favorably impressed that I in-
tend trying it next year in a
silo. If it only proves half as
good in winter as it has in sum-
mer I can recommend it to all
who wish to put the 'big fat' on
cotton mules, or to-carry young
steers through the winter in
good condition * but with the
limited experftnee I have had
with it already, I can say, grow
sorghum for stock feed."
The litter, however, would
have made but little difference
in an experiment had I been
making a test, for a« long as
they could get the cane thev
