dairy products. This increase
in consumption has opened up a
local market and those seeing an
opportunity of turning an honest
dollar hare taken advantage of
it. e.
AS rule beef farming usually
precedes dairy farming. Where
land is cheap and grazing land
can be had at small rental, beef
raising is protita BILE; but where
the price of land is high and the
country is thickly settled the
COW crowds out the steer, be-
cause she is more economical
producer of human food.
The dairymen in the south
must, for a time at least, be mis-
sionaries, as it were, in their re-
spective localities and get the
people interested in the b usiness,
so that after number of dairics
have been esta blished each will
be help to the other. AS vet
we can help each other only at
long range.
Someone has said that succeed
ing depends upon the msn. the
cow and the feed. The man
must first of all be student; he
must read good literature. Nine
tenths OF the men who make a
success at dairying read one or
more good dairy papers; this TACT
has been established by stats iics.
If he is young man l would adj
wise him to spend part of his cap
ital in taking a course at one of
our agricultural colleges. He
should be a trained thinker and
be able to work out for himself
the many little problems that
present themselves from time to
time. There are many things
we do not know, or understand
as vet. The bulk of the work
that has been done along dairy
lines by our experiment stations
has been done in the north and
west, where the weather, food
and market conditions are quite
different from those in the south,
and it is to be hoped that our
southern stations win take hold
OF this matter and help the dairy
men along.

What this man says is the same
thing we have urged many time
in this paper. He does not say
it any better than this paper has
said it; but he does say it from
the standpoint of experience and
actual business practice. If the
readers of this paper were all ig-
norant people, who could not re-
cognize both the nc ed for a c hange
in the general line Of farming
now in vogue in this section, and
the wisdom of raising such
things as there is home de-
mand for, we should not think it
worth while to insist upon this
point. But every intelligent cot
ton grower certainly knows that
exclusive cotton is not profitable
and that change to something
for which there is good cash
demand at home, is the wise
thing to do. All cannot and will
not go TO butter making. But a
great many can, and if they will
make good butter, they can sell
it for a good price for cash at
home. 1t will be good change
to try. Butter-selling is the
least exhaustive way of convert
ing farm products into cash, and
dairy farming IN the most GER
tain way to improve the farm.
When the need for change and
Improvement is so universal and
so urgent, it should surely induce
the thinking farmers to look
thoroughly into the proposition.

It had, but the professor is willing
to bet that not one graduate of high
school out Of twenty has an idea thai
there is not metal weight of twelve
ounces to represent the Troy pound.
But there is no such thing. Twelve
Troy ounces make a pound, but there
is no such material unit of measure
ment. There are the grain, the scru
pie, the drachm, and the ounce
weights, but nothing more. The man

incidentally these units of measure:
ment in the Troy scale look good

than they look like weights. For the
average high school graduate to pick

bewilder him.
1t is the contemplation of such alb.

A Modern Love Story.
BY VICTOR H. SMALLEY.

BY VICTOR H. SMALLEY.
copyright, 1902, by Daily Story Pub. Coz
1t was on the broad, cool veranda
of the spacious Grand Hotel at Macki-
nae Island. Scores of fashionably cos
tuned guests were enjoying the cool,
1nvigorating breezes waited from that
big body of water in front of them,
Lake Michigan. The orchestra was
in the midst Of a dreamy waltz from
Strauss, and the environment was one
of peaceful languor.
Occasionally the quiet serenity of
the place would be happily interrupted
by burst Of laughter from a group
of young men and women lounging
on the steps leading up to the porch
from the driveway below. A trap or
two, laden with pretty, fresh-looking
girls in white, and lazy, lolling fellows
in blue serge, ratified by, and few
horsemen and eQuestriennes ambled
past.
A girl stepped out from the office
and walked slowly down the veranda,
glancing from right to left in search
of vacant chair. She appeared to be
about twenty years of age, was about
medium height and very fair. Her
face was decidedly pretty, with almost
"Gibsonian" features. Her hair was
almost golden-Titian, some would call
it. She walked gracefully, and at
tracted considerable attention as she
passed along the piazza.
An unoccupied rocker finally caught
the girls eye, and she settled down
into it with a little sigh of content
ment. Seated directly at the right of
the girl was a women of striking ap-
pearance. The 'chappies" referred to
her as Stunning" the middle-aged
men called her an "out and out beau
ty," while the old -whiskered fel-
lows rolled their eyes ecstatically and
said nothing.
The object of this astonishing
amount of admiration was a. brunette
in the true sense of the word, and di-
vinely beautiful She was of about
medium height and a trifle above the
medium weight, but the slight super
huity of avoirdupois only accentuated
her charms. Her finely shaped head
was set upon throat so symmetrical,
so proud and white, that she appeared
to be taller than she really was. Her
complexion was of the Southern type,
olive, with a delicate tinge of rosy hue.
Her eyes were the most attractive OF
her many charms. They were large,
luminous, dark az a starless night. and
fringe OF long jet lashes almost hid
them from sight.
AS the blonde girl seated herself,
her dark-haired neighbor eyed her
cur1ously, penetratingly. The glance

and had been so long apart from her
chums and intimates, that she felt
happy in the possession of a new
friend who seemed so interested in her
girlish adventures and condolences. At
first she spoke only of her schooldays
at Smith, but was soon telling of her
love-affa1rs, an ample amount always
being the property of every winsome

birthday.

was so polite and courteous in hand

he passed me the salad, our hands
