One of the hardest things to get
farmers to do is TO Gull out from their
herds the Improbable cows. The
dairyman that carries on his business
in thoroughly scientific manner will
be all the time culling out the animals
that he believes to be Improbable.
Some of the heifers that are kept year
after year in the hope that they may
develop milking qualities. Yet some OF
these are SO Informed in their udders
that it can be easily seen that they can
never be good mixers or profitable in
any sense. If they are used for breed
ers they are not likely to produce of
spring that will be profitable. The ami
mails that are Improbable must be
hunted out and disposed of.--Farmers'

SAVE THE CHILDREN

One reason for the comparative dis
appearance of women from the lee
v. ture platform was
explained the 9TH
er day, says the
New York Sun, 10y an agent who had
just received from an authurcsS who
had acquired a certain reputation
through her novels, proposition TO
arrange course Of lectures for her.
THE womcn's clubs have done the
most to settle the demand for lcctur-
ers of the same SEN" he said. "chictiy
because they are able TO hear women
talk so much for nothing and are also
able 10 talk themselves now to such
a degree that there is no longer any
thing unusual or specially attractive
to them in the idea of a woman who
is able to stand up and talk c,cycrly
before an audience. Nowadays they
think they all do that, and most Of
them, rather than sit still and listen
while others are talking, want to get
up and 90 il themselves. Under these
circumstances, Of course, they're not
going TO pay much to hear women lee
ture to them. When a womau'S club
does engage a lecturer. ii usually wants

A Massachusetts physician recently
gave an amusing Illustration of the
dread some people have of fresh air
in their slecping-rooms. In the west
ern part of the state few years ago
lived a family who were accustomed to
keep doors and windows all tightly
closed. The head of the house was a
carpenter, and one fall undertook to
remodel part Of his dwelling. The
task was not completed when winter
set in, and the family, to their horror.
had to endure an amount of fresh air
that filled them with alarm. The wife,
speaking about it sftcrward, said she
didn't know how they could have
stood it if it hadn't happened that they
were all in better health than usual
