THE FOOLISH DAlRYMAN.
Why He Had Naught But Worry, and
Neither Comforr Nor Shekels.

Neither Comfort Nor Shekels.
And it came to pass that in the sixth
month certain man digged well
20 oubits deep. It's walls were of stone,
and when he had built the wall for 18
cubits he had no more stone. And he
sayeth to himself: 1t will do, and fin
isheth it off with few boards.
And in the tenth month there came
great flood, and the boards were
washed away and the well caved in, and
1t cost him many shekels before he
could get water again from the well.
The same man buyeth cow, and he
seeth two cows, one that giveth much
milk and one that giveth not SO much.
And he buyeth the one that giyeth not
so much milk, for he sayeth she costeth
not so many shekels, and she will do.
When he feedeth the cow he giveth
her not much feed, for he sayeth feed IS
not plenty and she getteth enough.
And when he buyeth milk pail he
buyeth small one, for he sayeth the
COW giveth not much milk.
And it came to pass when he washeth
the milk pail that the water was not hot,
and he sayeth it will do. And when he
selleth the butter he getteth not many
shekels, for the butter was not good.
About this time the wife of this man
sayeth unto her lord: Give unto me
shekels that 1 may buy myself raiment,
for that which 1 wear is like unto mos
quito netting for holes. And the man
sayeth unto his wife: The weather is
warm and thy raiment will do, for
have no shekels to give unto thee.
Then the wife of that man answered
him and said: o, foolish man! Dost
thou not know that unless thou doeth
with thy might what thy hand findeth
to do that thy labor is lost? For want
of two cubits of stone in they well tie
1S were lost. When thou buyeth a cow
that giveth not much milk thou vert
building but 1S cubits. And when thou
giveth her not enough food, and when
thou takest not care of the milk, thou
vert doing the same. O, foolish man!
as for want of two cubits of stone thy
we'll was lost, so for want of two shekels
in the price of thy cow, and for want Of
two measures of meal, and for want of
two moments of work is all thy profit
in thy butter lost, and thou hast no
shekels.-Nationa Stocllman.

ing commendable progress in the work
of inspecting the dairy herds of the
state. One of the commissioners applied
the tuberculin test to 106 cows in the
town of Washington and 13 of them
were condemned and killed. Ten in one
herd appeared to be ''in excellent phys
ical condition." but the authorities
showed that they were all "we:l-defined
cases" of tuberculosis. More than 500
cows have been tested in Litchfield,
and applications for the inspection of
400 more in that neighborhood end of
about 1000 in other parts of the state
are on file. The greater part of the
work during the last two or three
months has been done in the district
from which part of the milk supply of
New York city and Brooklyn is OBJ
tanned.
