"Oh, those boys of mine!' sighed q

the Detroit Free Press. II don't be-

says they are little terrors. and guess

an outspoken neighbor. land he might
be able. by little introspection, to
discover the original source of their
mischievousness. Frank used to keep
things pretty thoroughly stirred up
himself"
But these boys of mine are right
from one thing into another as fast
as they can go. 1t sets me wild. Why.
We had company for dinner this even
ing. and when went to look for the
beautiful layer cake l had baked With
my own hands so as to have 1t nice.
there wasn't crumb of 1t to be found.
Nothing could be more annoying"
That recalls an experience OF Frank
and mine. We had been raiding the
larders In both Of our houses till final
notice was issued that we must either
reform or take the consequences One
evening there was to be some fine com.
pany at Franks and he managed to
get me an invitation. During the aft
erroon We discovered the cake and it
was daisy. all sugared over with
white and surmounted by piece of
statuary work OF the same material.
We simply couldn't resist, but we
sought to cast suspicion on the baker.
by carefully digging out the interior
through small hole we made in the
bottom. 1t took slow, careful work,
but We had our reward as we went
along.
On the table that shell looked like
a magnificent cake We boys looked
as solemn as owls through grace and
all the courses, till it came to desert
Then we fidgeted as his father took the
long, thin knife, ,complimented his wife

Feed turnips to cows after milking.
The best cows are always the heavy

Stringy milk can be run through a

Clover hay stepped in tubs of water is

Sailing regularly is one very i'm

Don't neglect the daily brushing AMI
cleaning of every COW. There is moth

Merit is not proof against neglect.

enough to keep her alive and how can
she fill the milk pail?
If the stored fodder can be shredded,

and appropriate IS per cent. of it. The
refuse will be insignificant.
When cows have not received an
