TO CARE FOR SMALLPOX
Trustees Of the Poor Will Pay for DeSti-
tute Pe0Dle

Smallpox patients will be cared for
at the Emergency Hospital at Farm
hurst as heretofore. This was decided
upon at a conference of the Trustees
of the Poor, Board of Health and City
Council yesterday afternoon. The
main reason for objecting to patients
being sent to the Emergency Hospital
seemed to be that they were sent there
without first scuring a permit. In the
future permits will be obtained.
Persons under quarantine will have
to provide for themselves if they are
able to do so. If they are in destitute
circumstances, the expense Of supplying
them with food and other necessities
will be adjusted by the Board of

How Long to Keep the Dairy Cow.

The answer is short to the question,
elbow long should a dairy COW be
kept" Keep the COW only so long
as she pays a gratifying profit. If no
record is kept of profit and loss on
the farm, neither man nor beast will
get credit for services rendered. Ev
cry animal should have a ledger
standing account. Even Justice to
man and beast alike is honorable.
The farmers methods in bookkeeping
are not always commended by expert
accountants. Business demands sys-
tenn, and that system must be correct.
When the leaf is turned over in cor
rect bookkeeping, the proftless live
stock will be got rid of at the earliest
possible moment. Protitless stock is
the heaviest tax TIE farmer, dairy
man and breeder is imperiously
called upon to pay. The tax on real
estate in comparison is only a feather
weight in the balance. The farmers
son should be sent to a business col
lege, if only for three months. The
investment will pay good interest
for life.
1t is more than probable that men
who keep no pro6t and loss on stock
have mortgages to pay interest on
that perpetual source of annoyance.
No man of fine feelings lives as long
or is so happy under the strain of in
terest paying as he who is free from
debt. Small incomes pay off debts too
slowly for much joy. Possession
without debt is ennobling to manhood,
and rich mine of happiness for the
home. Milk the COW only so long as
she is profitable; then quickly turn
her into beef and cash.-E1chdnge.
