could spare me little money to-day?'
His wife glanced at him impatientIy.

Why only gave you your housekeep-

men seem to think we women are
made of money"
You forget, my dear" he remarked,
there are girls wages, and the water
rate, and the children both want ne w
boots"
Didn't ! give You the money Tor
that?'' she asked.
mo. dear, that was for the flannel
for little Milly's warm petticosts I'm
making"
BESIDES, dear, I-don't be angry,
will you'll saw such cheap pair OF
trousers at the winter clearance sale
yesterday that couldn't resist buying
them. and you know I've hardly rag
to my back"
Always your cry, George" she said
angrily. Really your extravaganza in
dress is something sinful; it Is a pity
YOU haven't got to go and earn the
money; you'd know its value then.
Here take this, and for goodness sake
do try and pay somo Of your household
bills with it and not frivol the money

There's a dear, good, darling wife"
he cried joyfully; ''let me help my

And as the breadwinner dashed out
after the passing vehicle George blew
her a parting kiss and went upstairs to
battle the children.-Chicago Tribune.

ment to the cows, but at the best they
are not wholly comfortable, and to do
her best dairy COW must at all times
be comfortab BILE. There is another plan
which is shown in the accompanying
illustration. The cows are hitched
with chains that slide up and down
upon a rod. two cows in each wide
stall, or one in narrow stall as
preferred. There is a solid partition
between the stalls and the cribs,
a hinged door admitting the head
of each COW TO her crib at feeding
time. When the ration has been eaten
the doors are closed and buttoned.
which forces the cows to stand back
of the gutter, and to lie down also in
that situation. When the doors are
closed any manure that has fallen
upon the platform while the cows
have been standing ahead feeding is
scraped into the gutter, and the cows
left until the next feeding.
Where the manure cellar is under
the cattle il will be found most con-
venient to have the manure traps in
the raised walk, as shown. rather than
in the bottom of the gutter, where
they are buried beneath the manure
and filthy to handle. Handy shelves
that are hinged and folded against the
wall when not in use are shown at the
rear of the raised walk. The doors
admitting the cows heads to the cribs
in front will be found exceedingly
convenient when feeding grain, roots
or ensilage. One can then put the
ration in the crib without molestation
from the horns or nose of the animal,
eager to get at its breakfast or dinner.
The door can then be unbuttoned and
allowed to swing in against the side
of the crib, when the cow can come
forward and eat. The CRIB can he

less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products TO

the value to health of the pure liquid
