Would you really like to known
1t |. not exactly pleasure trip,
Though pleasant, we hope, as things 70.
1t happens this way. Our many friends
Have been so very kind OF late,
That II It be possible so to-
We their kindness would compensate.
Our dress goods are getting very low,
In trimmings we want the newest things,
Buttons and fringes, gimps and jets,
And any novelties this season brings.
As the days grow short and windy and cold,
People will need warmer aannels and hose,
And our stock Is sadly In need OF more,
For this year we haven't bought those.
Our blankets too are almost all gone
And our stock OF shawls Is small,
Cottons and crashes and aannes and ticks,
Oh, yes, we are needing them all.
Ribbons and ruches too, and gloves,
Corsets and necktles, light and gay,
Spool cotton and silk, needles and pins,
And such things you use every day.
All these and very much more we need,
And this we think good reason,
Why Miss Prince went to Boston herself, to select
New goods for our friends this season.
Very truly,

IMPROVEMENT IN COWS.
Their Present Condition Greatly Excel
Their Original State.


The improvement in the cows OF the
various dairy breeds during the past
thirty years has been marked. Their
present condition greatly excels their
original one in the countries of their
origin. Their yields exceed by fifty
per cent. what it was when they first
came among us. This has been accom-
plished by better feed than they re-
ceived in their former homes. The in
ference of our thought is the relation
and correlation of food to product. OF
course it is an established belief based
on the experiments of the stations that
butter cannot be fed into the milk.
This is true of the herds that are main
tanned by them, because they are fed
to the limit of their capacity to turn
food into product, and hence no in
crease can occur. But the average
dairy COW is not so fortunately envi-
roned as the station one. Her ration is
not so generous one, nor is it fur
nished her with the same clockwork
regularity. With the sparsely-fed COW
whose food is inferior great enrich
ment of product is possible, when
richer rations are substituted. Under
such treatment the milk will be richer,
and its butter product greater without
a corresponding increase of its volume.
The more inferior the food the cow has
been accustomed to previously the more
marked will be the enrichment of her
product. The conditions of her exist
ence have changed, and the response is
in obedience to her more favorable en-
vironment. This seemingly disproves
the experiments of the stations. but it
should be borne in mind that the con.
ditions that permit it are unknown at
them. 1t is for that reason that we
are constantly urging on dairymen the
Importance of feeding literally to the
limit of each individual cows capacity,
that her product may be enriched for
the benefit of the man that boards her.
