THE. BEGGING HABIT.

Various Ways i'm Which 1t Makes the
Existence OF Busy Men Burden.
Two schoolgirls Of sixteen, passing
through a crowded street the other
day, were accosted by stout boy OF
twelve, who begged loudly for money
to buy pair of shoes.
"Why should / give you money!"
said one of them. why do you not
work and earn it?'
The girls hurried home, and sat
down eagerly to write letter to a
man holding high official position in
the country, soliciting his autograph
and "a sentiment" They inclosed a
two-cent stamp for a reply. This mans
time was given to his work so entirely
that he scarcely. reserved the hours
necessary for rest or sleep. He re-
eeived numberless such appeals for
autographs, which, if he answered
them, would cost both labor and time.
What right he'd any stranger to beg
either from him, simply to crafty
their own viii IN?
The habit OF begging is not confined
TO professional mendicants. A mer-
chant. puzzled about legal point in
his business, puts the case at dinner to
friend who is lawyer, and receives
the advice for r.othing, for which he is
able TO pay.
The uncles, aunts and cousins OF a

humor ed race. and ready to give to
each other both in money and aid. 1t
is an admit able trait to be willing TO
give. but il. is contemplate to ask that
which Gt lie exertion or money would
bring to us.
Very few of our readers would prob
ably beg for money. Let them then re-
Ulember that the knowledge, strength
and time of busy man are worth more
to him than dollars. Com

Some New York State Dairyman.

+ Ed. HoARD's DAIRYMAN:-Mr.
Hiram Is. Fuller. of Hambletville,
Delaware county, sends the following
statement. 1t is not as hattering as
are some, but better than the av-
erage dairies produce; and if Mr..
Fuller's figures for the cost of keep
are correct, his yield afforded him a
nice profit. Just how he manages
to keep his COWS year for $40, each
using three acres of pasture per cow
feeding hay in winter and grain
ration, consisting of one quart of
corn meal and one of wheat bran,
daily, do not know. 1t would
cost not less than $40 per COW to do
it in this county. He may have
made mistake in his figures, how
ever; also in those giving assessed
valuation, as 81 1900 valuation on 40
acres, or 1857 per acre. seems low.
Here is his statement:
Acres in farm, 40. Assessed val
uation, $1,000. Number of cows
MIXED, 10 grade Jerseys. Milk
made into butter; runs private
dairy. Gross receipts per COW "about
$40" Common stanchions in the
stables. Absorbents used in stables,
but the kind not stated. Has no
silo; expresses no opinion concerning
one. Product shipped as fast as
made. Summer dairying only prac-
ticed. Grain ration fed, one quart
of corn meal and one quart of wheat
bran mixed, in two feeds, to each
cow, daily. Cost of keep per COW
$50. Three acres of pasture allowed
per cow Nearly 1900 pounds of
milk given. Water not warmed in
winter Value of COWS $40, each.
Value of calves sold, $50. Number
and value of calves raised not given.
REMARKS.
81 make practice of feeding my
COWS grain ration, but did not
grain them the last summer season;
but year before last | gave them a
ration of quarts, one-half each of
bran and corn meal, and the gross
receipts per COW were $50. The
cows did not seem to give much
greater quantity of milk bit the but
Ter acds there. got a much better
quality of milk and my cows went
into the winter looking as sleek as
horses
Mr.. Fuller's fgues for the quantity
of milk given-4,0OO pounds-are
evidently wrong, as the amount is
too low for 10 cows, and pretty high
for one, when the gross receipts
were only $40 each, or else the mil <
was of poor quality. At 40 90
pounds of milk per COW, with II
pounds to one of butter, would give
$50 pounds of the latter, whic il 90
cents per pound would give a return
of $47 per COW. There is mistake
some where in his milk figw es.
