Rlchne., vs.. Amount Of MlIk.

Some one says that COW that gives
milk so rich that six or eight quarts
will make a pound OF butter is more
profitable for butter-making, than one
which gives milk so thin that il takes
twelve 70 thirteen quarts TO make
pound Of butter. This must depend on
the amount Of milk given by each. II
both give the same amount OF course
the COW giving the richer milk would
be the more profitable; but II the COW
giving the thinner milk yielded two or
three times as much as the other, and
perhaps four or five times as much, the
profit would be- most decidedly on the
side Of the COW giving the poorer milk,
as she would not only make as much or
more butter. but afford a much larger
amount Of SKINNED milk for feeding
hogs or other stock. Grange Judd

the bottom. In ten minutes the butter

for ammunition, and in either case
his loss would be irrevoeable.
Sam followed the animal as fast as
he could, and Harry kept at his heels,
all the while trying TO out-distance
him. Finally, when the bottom Of
the mountain had been reached, Har-
~ made squirt and got past his
awkward enemy; but the dog was
getting farther and farther ahead.
The race into the village was a
frantic and a desperate one. Down
the main street of the town they
went, causing more CONSERVATION
than the place had known in many
days.
The race ended presently in dog
fight. Between Ragland's dog and
another cur of the village there was
an unending enmity, and whenever
the two met they fought with great
ferocity.
As the mischievous animal, with
Harry's fortune in his mouth, dashed
gayly down the street, his canine enc
my made his appearance, and imme-
diately there was sharp contest be-
tween them.
While the combat ragged and spec
tators were gathering, Harry reached
the scene just in tim TO perceive
"Jedge" Bloom, the village Justice OF
the Peace, pick up his bright dollar
from the ground where the dog had
relinquished it.
Its mine, Jedgew he had just
! enough breath left 10 gasp the words
and the Justice graciously placed the
coin in his hand without question.
When Sam arrived his interest in
the dollar was for the moment sus-
pended by the necessity OF quick
interference TO save his dog from be.
ing worried. When at last he got
the two beasts separated, Harry was
safely at home, and he gave up his
trip To Carter's Pond in disgust.
Harry wrote to the Boston dealer
in coins, and gave description OF his
1904 dollar, and OF the strange cir
cumstance by which it came into his
possession. In reply he received,
few DAYS later, this letter:
DEAR SIR: II the coin you describe Is In as
good condition as you allege. we will pay
you eight hundred dollars for II.
Harry went with this letter to the
miser's cabin, and tried again TO ex-
plain the matter, but Mr.. Brown would
not listen. Then Harry sent on the
coin and promptly received his pay;
and after that, IL Is needless to say,
his mother never suffered for medl-
