sT1c1k no rHr cow.

The increased value of the beef ami
NAL is tempting hundreds Of farmers
to get rid Of their diaries. This is a
mistake. Tnere is no animal which
can take the place Of the cow on the
farm. Be 1t big or little, a poor or q
fertile one, level or billy, located east
or west, owned or rented, it is always
and ever true that the cow is the one
sure cornerstone of any and every type
of successful agriculture in this coun-
try. Cows mean calves and pigs,
cream checks, an ever improving fertil-
ity of soil, good living in the farm
home. Working with her copartner,
the Poland-China hog, she raises the
interest money, pays of the farm mort
gage, educates the boys and girls. puts
plano in the home and sends the old
folks off on a trip In the fall. Four
things blended tremendously consti-
tute the essential elements Of Ameri-
can agricultural prosperity, the cow,
the hen, the hog and the ear Of corn.

A very choice and we'll balanced 81
lage crop is being raised in some parts
Of the south in the shape of corn and

given two or three plowings and is
then harvested with binder and cut
up for silo. There is an idea here

true that such method will not always

with a blachsnake whip. It is never

The cow normally will give just
enough milk to raise her calf. What
ever more in the way Of milk produc-
ton is obtained from her is the result
of mans care and skill In developing
the lacteal habit. The natural tenden-
cy is for the COW to revert back to this
normal condition, and so it comes that
only by the exercise of constant care
in the management of the cow can the
desired milk production be maintained.

handsome, had never been jealous of
any mans good looks before. He had
not supposed that such an absurdity
was possible. But when he say the adj
mirinS glances which were cast upon
that very notable couple he was aware
of desire to take Ripley outside and
make snowplow of him.
1T was nearly an hour later when a
figure of the cotillon brought Curtis
and Miss Brooke together and gave the
first chance for confidential word.
BY that time Curtis was In the condi-
ton of Inventor Tripler's liquetied air
exposed in a tin dish-it is very chilly,
but it boils.

doing this thing altogether too we'll"
1T is not so hard as I had supposed
it would be-" said she. "Shall we walk
moment?"
1t was the first time that she had
ever expressed a disinclination to
dance with him, and the trivial Incl
dent affected him preposterously. The
thought came to him that this could
not be acting. The situation constltut-
ed true emergency. He was in dali
ger of wrecking his love. The right
word might save him, but before he
could make up his mind what it was
the exigencies of the dance required
him to escort his partner to her seat
beside the handsome Mr. Ripley.
Curtis escaped from the gay throng
at the earliest possible moment and
crossed the main hall of the house to
the small reception room, which SEEM
ed to be deserted. He was surprised to
find his sister Mabel there alone. There
was a suggestion in her appearance
that she had recently wiped away a
tear or two from her eyes.
why, little girl" he cried, whats
the matter?'
The situation flashed upon him in an
instant. This poor child was crying
about Arthur Ripley, who had been her
chief admirer for year or more.
II know all about it," he said. "But
don't you worry. Things are not what
| they SEEM"
Such a remark US that requires an
explanation. and if a girl doesn't get 1t
from d fellow she is not as good cross
questioner as the average Of her sex.
The result in this case was that within
ten minutes Curtis had told his sister
of the engagement.
There's nothing between Ripley and
Maud" said he. "She's trying to keep
our secret, that's all, and she's using
Arthur as blind. AS for him, he sim
ply can't get away. And perhaps he
fancies that he's annoying me-"
The effect of this disclosure seemed
to be good, and Curtis did not regret
making It. He cautioned his sister
against limiting even in the most shad-
| owy manner at the facts in the case.
OF course he knew that she would not
mean to betray it, but when it's ques-
ton Of secrecy one can't be too i'm
pressive.
In the hall Curtis encountered Rip
ley, who asked him If he had seen Ma
bel. Curtis told him where Mabel was,
and Ripley went into the reception
room.
