Ho Held on to His Knife.

old painter named William McCul-

the cataract, but whirled into lesser

Persistent Milking Wins.

Last season, when the price for
calves went skyward, many farmers
who had patronized the creamery and
raised the calves on skimmilk thought
they could see more money and less
bother in letting the calves suck the
COWS. The Indications are that this
year calves will not be worth as much
money. and as the cattle stock Of the
country increases to the normal calves
will further decrease in value. Those
farmers who stopped milking and
turned in the calves will then see the
mistake they made. They will find
that their cows are not nearly as good
mixers as they were before. and it
will take them several years to build
up an efficient dairy herd again.
II there is any one thing about dairy
ing that has been thoroughly and COM
pletely demonstrated, it is that milk
ing makes mixers. The best cow in
the world can be ruined as a mixer in
a comparatively short time by simply
letting the calf suck her or by care
lessneSs In milking. The poorest COW
can be improved by continued and per-
sistent milking. The man who has 10
or IL or more COWS and miiks them
year In and year out, keeps right at 1t
and practices improved methods Of
feeding will get ahead right along. Il
don't pay to milk the cows one year
and bet the calves suck the next

A Nice, Obliging Man.

While a good many Of the funny sto-
ries of "She asked me to hold the ba-
by" have been written and the subject
consequently is somewhat frayed, still
the scene that occurred In Madison
square one night was funny, A jovial
looking old gentleman was sitting on
a bench beside portly, we'll dressed

I've two got in conversation by the old
gentleman remarking, How well the
baby behaves" for the little thing lay
and slept peacefully wrapped IN nu-
merous veilings
Presently the woman said she was
going over to Fourth avenue to buy q
bottle Of milk and requested the old
man to hold the baby. "Why, certain
ly," said he. "I've been a father and
graAefather to SO many that I know
how to handle them" The woman
went away and didn't come back. The
old gentleman became nervous. but as
the baby still slept ON peacefully he
waited until long past his own bed
time for the mother to return.
1t was nearly midnight when he
walked into the police station aud
handed over the bundle. Then he bare

is a positive detriment to the dairy
business. The man with the Shiny,
muddy brooks too often neglects to
have a pure water supply. which his
brother farmer. who has no brook. is
compelled to supply. We have seen
such streams in summer become mud

animals, like humans. contract many
diseases solely through bad drinking

ton Of the land Is such that shallow
