The Love Story orTwo Giraffes.

"ln the Cincinnati Zoo dwelt two
giraffes," writes Clifford Howard, in
telling some Love Stories of the Zoo"
in the Ladies' Home journal. "Gi-
raffes are not noted for their affection,
yet these two exhibited every evidence
Of true devotion TO each other. The
male never seemed 10 tire Of caressing
the long, slender neck of his partner.
and, what was most unusual, would
frequently leave for her the softest
and choicest bits of food. On one oc-
casion, when she was removed from
the pen for short time and quartered
near 10y, he seemed 10 find consolation
in some bits of cloth that had been
used 10 bind her throat; always lying
down beside them, no matter where
they happened TO be placed. And dur
ing this temporary separation the two
would spend hours gazing longingly at
each other across the space that di-
vided them. When they were again
united they made manifest their su.
preme happiness by frolicking about
like frisk colts, blissfully unmindful
of the fact that such behavior was
anything but picturesque in creatures
of their build"

Preparing For Drouth.

/ will give you an instance of two
dairymen in my neighborhood. One is

worst, but among the poorest. They
have each 100 acres. Last season was
very dry, the dryest / have ever come
through. We had not good soaking
rain from the time the snow went
off till October. This good dairyman
had fourteen COWS, 10 which he at
tended thoroughly. He had about an
acre OF oats and peas, and put in two
and one half acres OF corn early, and
he fed his cows right through the sea-
sou. Both these farmers sent 10 the
factory for seven months, and the
good dairyman received in the seven
months an average Of G007 pounds
from each OF the fourteen cows in the
herd. The other dairyman. who did
not provide anything, received an av-
erage OF 2032 pounds each. Then when
It came 10 money the man with the
6007 pounds got $40 per COW, the other
man got SIS per COW. The poor dairy
mans cows averaged 81 80 a month,
and the other mans 81 a month. Now
the fault was at home. Ons man pre-
pared against drouth In case it needed

There are also weeds which delight in
damp weather, and others that can
flourish during severe drought. But
no weeds can stand loosening of the

OF the ground, for, II they are not cut
down, their roots are loosened and
they perish, because they cannot Sc

Permanent Western Prosperity

The New York Commercial Adver-
tiser, discussing western conditions
with a fairness and understanding
that ought to be more common in the
eastern press than it is, takes an op-
timistic view Of the permanency Of
the vests prosperity. 1t says; The
resources Of the west, after the rapid
accumulation Of the past three years,
are far greater than they have been
at any time in this country's history.
This fact, together with the more
diversified condition Of the agricul-
tural industry, which has made the
greater part Of the farming popula-
ton no longer solely dependent on
the yield Of single commodity, are
two very substantial reasons why the
agricultural communities will not be
compelled to reduce their expendi-
lures because OF the accident to the
corn crop.
at is certainly true that the sta.
tistics and other information now
coming to hand do not bear out the
idea that general reaction from the
recent prosperity in the west is i'm
pending. On the contrary the cur
rent figures Of bank clearings show
very heavy gains over year ago in
every section Of the country, and in
none more so than the cities and
towns Of the corn telt. The weekly
bulletins Of the mercantile agencies
supplement this evidence in their
statements that retail trade is un-
usually active everywhere throughout
the west. 1t would be premature to
accept these present conditions Is .
forecast Of what the situation will be-
during the autumn and winter. But
