HUSBAND FOR A PENNY.
She Dropped Postal In the Mailbox
Slot and the Result Was
Matrimony.

A business man who wanted bookkeeper
stated his need in an advertisement. The
notice was seen by young woman who was
out of work and who had searched for en-
ployment day after day without success.
She had just one cent left. This she spent
for postal card, on which she wrote a re-
ply to the advertisement, and dropped the
card in street lettterbox, says the Detroit
News-Tribune.
Her application impressed the business
man favorably, and he wrote to her, asking
her to call at his Office. She did so and Sc
cured the position. Her modesty and worth,
no less than her capability, SO won upon her
employer that before many months had
passed he offered her his heart and hand,
and she accepted and became his wife.

the honeymoon, that it all came from your

A CATCH IN THE BACK.

Grand View, Iowa, Sept. 29th.-Mrs.
Lydia Parker of this place says:
81 was troubled with backache all
the time for years. When l would
stoop over a catch would take me in
the back and I could not straighten
up for some time.
81 tried everything I could think of
but got no relief till I sent and got
Dodd's Kidney Pills.
81 used one box and part of another
before the trouble all left me, but now
1 am we'll and strong and have not
been troubled with my back for some
months.
81 believe my cure is permanent
one and am very grateful indeed, to
Dodd's Kidney Pills for what they
have done for me.

them to anyone suffering with lame
back, for believe they will cure any
case of this kind.

OLD HOME VISITING EXCURSIONS.
An Opportunity to Look Once Moor e In
to the Old Faces and Not Cost
Much. Either

No matter how prosperous or well stu
ated man and his family may be, there is
generally a desire to look on the old scenes,
into the old faces, to renew the associations
of early life, to get possibly drink from
the old well, to hear:
-"the bell swing to and fro,
It's music just the same, dear Tom,
Twas twenty years ago."
cold home excursions are consequently
popular, and the Erie Railroad has arranged
special rates whereby persons living west
of Chicago can visit their friends in Ohio,
Indiana and Western Pennsylvania during
October at exceptionally low cost. It is be-
lieved that large numbers. will take ad-
vantage of the offer, and that the coming
month will witness many reunions of friends
and old acquaintance who, have not seen
each other for years. October is a delight
full season of the year in which to travel, and
the Erie is one of the best roads in the coun-
try.

HANDY MILK CABINET.
A Little Convenience Which Is Sure
to Pay for Itself Within
Short Space Of Time.

When milk is kept in cellar there
is much time taken in running up
and down stairs. I have found that
at some seasons cream kept in eel
lar is very difficult to churn, neith-
er is the butter good when it does
come. So I think milk receptacle
upstairs would be far better. Around
almost any farm will be some good
lumber, or perhaps there might be
some unused outbuilding that will
answer the purpose. Whatever be
the style, shape or size, construct
the cabinet against the house, leav-
ing door at the junction. From the
outside have another door leading

While the artist takes his pencil and is

That the freside has given way to

The scornful bard refuses to ennoble

And the artist never turns
With his brush to such concerns;

Forgetting that long since IT ceased TO
Forgetting that the people he is preach

Where janitors are lords of all they

No more fantastic shadows over old rag

Herman must have known that

COMFORT BRINGS CASH.
Why Dairymen Should Always Have
SuccuIent Feed on Hand to
Help Out the Pasture.

There is a direct connection be-
tween the comfort of the COW and
the cash received by her owner. This
factor of comfort may be made more
important by having combined with
it the additional factor of succulent
feed. This is especially the case
when cows are on pasture, in which
case their digestive systems have
adapted themselves to the succulent
nature of the foods. In case of
storm lasting for days, or of any
mishap that makes it necessary to
take the animals off the pasture, the
substitution for that pasture grass
of dry hay always causes loss in the
flow of milk and in the production of
butter fat. Every dairyman should
have on hand silage, sugar beets, Or
some other succulent feed to help
out the pasture whenever necessary.
The Importance of this is shown by
an experience at the Arizona okper-
iment station, as told by the direct
or: The 18th, 18th and 10th days of
November, 1900, were rainy days.
From the day before to the day aft
er the rains the amount of milk de-
livered at the creameries fell off ten
per cent. In the same time the milk
from our~own herd decreased 81 per
cent, and continued to decrease I'M
til it had reached so per cent. Tt
then took the cows a month tn get
back to where they were before the
rain. The week of the storm and that
following, two of the six COWS had
sugar beets in addition to their pas
ture. During these two weeks the
four cows having pasture alone fell
off As per cent. in amount of butter
fat given, while the two having beets
fell off only 20 per cent. Here is
to be noted not only the~effcct Of the
storm, but the effect of feed as well;
the COWS having sugar beets during
the storm falling off less than half
as much in their butter fat as did
those on pasture alone.

WATERING MILK COWS.
where Eight or Ten Animals Are
Kept Construction OF "a Water
System Is Advisable.

We sometimes water our COWS IN the
stables, and find it a great gain over
turning them out to drink at the
spring. We never allow our milch
COWS to drink out of a brook, as it is
unreasonable to expect cow to do her
best if compelled to gorge herself
with ice cold water. In the fall and
early winter, when we have only few
of our cows calyed, we always like to
take the chill off the water they drink
and give it to them in the stable; we
notices very marked Improvement
over turning them out. Of course,
where there is a large herd it would
not paw to water them in the stable
without one had the water right in the
barn. We water twice day, and it is
surprising how much they will drink,
especially If some feed flour is stirred
in it. A cow has no filter in her, and if
the water is impure all the impurities
will go to the milk. Some of our s'big"
farmers may cry segotist" when they
see this, but / am in a fair position to
know, as for the last two months /
have weighed every pound of feed our
cows consumed Also in the stable the
milk of each cow was weighed sepa-
rately and a record kept. From this
we could plainly Sc that the day the
cows were turned out to drink, if let
for any length of time, there was al
ways shrinkage in the milking. If
the change was noticeable in our
mild December weather, what must
it be when the mercury is lowering
about the cipher!
Where there is winter dairy of
eight or ten COWS it would pay to have
good water system, SO as to water
our COWS in the stable in cold weather.
Also induce them to drink as much as
possible, for when we consider that
milk contains over so per cent. of wa
ter, it is evident that our cows should
have lots Of good, pure water,-D. r.

No Money in Poor Cows.

The poor farmer sticks to the poor
COW and imagines that he is making
money out Of her. Fortunately for
that kind of COW, the said kind Of
farmer has a strong imagination -one
that does not have to have facts to build
upon. If the farmer got to demanding
proofs of the value Of his poor COW,
it would be the end of the COW. It is a
pity that more farmers are not of a
judicial turn of mind. If about half Of
the cows of the country were turned
into COW beef it would be better for
the rmers.-Farmers' Review.
