girls. How dull the days must have
been when there was no tennis, when
rowing was not considered "ladylike,' -
when even the mild game of croquet
had not been invented, and the mere
mention Of golf for girls would have
been thought improper

we should copy and cultivate. If they
were shy and had a fine reticence that
is no reason why their descendants
should scorn modest manners. Refine

will be. Girls are apt to go in for ex-

rev women realize" says a French
expert, that the secret OF face care is
to treat each feature separately.
American women in particular do not
seem to understand that there are as
many complexions as there are figures.
and that no one cosmetic can be good
for all faces, nor for all parts of the
face. Rarely is the skin of nose and
cheek Of the same quality. and what
Is healing for one may injure the
other. For example the skin may be

be of value, while such treatment
would be too drying for the rest of
the face. Or, the wrinkles around the
eyes may be treated with cocoa but
ter. which might be harmful for nose
and cheek. Leave all cosmetics en-
tirely alone. or understand their use,"
is her closing advice.

'In the wartime, nearly forty years
ago, Western woman. who had lost
her husband in the field, and who
hoped to win n livelihood for herself
and her little ones by writing, sent to
this Magazine a story which had no
special distinction and was returned.
In the desperate mood that followed
this rejection she sat down with pen

her story under that title was ac-
capted and published, winning Il SYM
pathetic response from all it's readers.

On most farms chickens have free

Is vast difference in even free

Cost of Dairy Products.

In breeding cows for any special
purpose the cost of production must
be carefully considered If profits are to
be realized. Cows cannot be made to
give a large milk flow without good
feeding and natural tendency to large
yields through inherited traits. A good
system of feeding may easily be adopt
ed, and the results be obtained almost
Immediately, but heredity is something
that goes back through many genera
tions and decades. Yet the cost of pro-
ducing milk and butter fats must be
considered in the light of all this.
When we buy well-bred dairy cows We
pay for ancestral traits and past care
fulness in breeding. This sometimes
is the most expensive part of the cost,
but in the end it pays best.
But in calculating the cost Of produc-
tion of dairy products it should be re-
membered that cows are now bred for
special purposes, and TO use one for
something she had not been bred TO is
wasting profits. One COW will produce
a hundred pounds of milk with less
than three per cent. of butter-fat in ii,
and another seventy pounds of milk in
the same time with six per cent. butter
fats. Which COW will yield the great
est profit? If one is selling milk which
passes muster with three per cent.
butter fat, the COW which gives the
heaviest yield of milk. with low
percentage of butter fat. viii prove
more profitable to him. But when the
farmer expects to sell his milk to the
creameries or make the butter himself,
he needs the six per cent. butter fat
COW, even though the milk yield is
smaller in quantity. In estimating the
cost of production the purpose for
which the cow Is designed must first
be decided upon, and then heredity
and environment may be able to show
profits that will make the work satis-
factory. Both the breeds which are
enormous mixers, and those which
produce milk with a great percentage
Of butter fats, are needed ON the dairy,
but not always on the same dairy
