inventor to his fathers before he told his son
about the ink, the Government Printer would

SUCCESS IN DAIRYISe.

Davy Crockett once said: " Be sure you're
right, then 20 ahead" If every man engaged

coed along that line. there would be fewer fail
urss and less complaints that "dairying don't
pay" correspondent Of the Country Gentle
man evidently knows what he wants and is
prepared to go ahead to success, for he says:
/ want my cows to be MIXED at regular
hours each day.
/ want the same mixer to milk the same
cow each time and in the same order.
That the milk shall be turned into the
pals on milk bench after finishing each COW.
That as soon as possible the milk shall be
carried into the dsiry-house and strained.
That the cows shall not be eating while
being MIXED, but stand with eyes closed,
chewing their ends. and thinking of nothing
but letting the milk come full head.
That if a mixer is to whistle, he should
whistle good, lively tune, and milk in time
to his music.
That every cow in the dairy shall know the
man that milks her is a friend.
That all extra food fed shall be at night,
when tho cows are at pasture.
That when pass through the cows in yard or
field, shall have to 90 around the COW rather
than have her start off to get out of my way.
/ want to know just what each cow can do
in amount of milk and butter.
To raise my own cows, so I can have the
pleasure of seeing them develop. and have the
pleasure Of studying the possibilities of breed
ing for a purpose.
To make butte that is just as good as can be
found elsewhere.
To know each Spring where my butter will
be wanted in the Fall.
To see less poor butter put on the market. so
the consumption of it will be nearly, if not
quite, double.
To have every dairyman try to excel in the
dairy business, so that be may not only benefit
himself, but the dairy interests in general.

IL you think a woman can't keep a secret,

make the most adroit, the most accomplished
smugglers in the business. An Inspector said
TO me recently: "a female, if she be crooked
in her dealings with Uncle Sam, will outwit US
and bsmboozle us twice as easy as a man. She
will look at you with liquid eyes and tear in
her voice as big as the diamond stored away in
the lining of her corset; will lie, and lie, and
lie with the easy grace of an Ochiltree tine
tured with the innocence of Kings daughter"

woman whose husband died abroad and who
smuggled an elaborate mourning outfit across
