HERE'S AN ILLUSTRATION,
It Proves in Cold Figures That Only
the Rich Can Afford to Keep
Poor Cows.

In recent issue of the Dairyman is
given good illustration of the result
that is liable to occur when man tries.
to buy his cows too cheaply. A man in.
New York went to farm whose owner
had ten cows TO sell. Of the ten, three
are COWS that yield over $500 quarts of
milk each year, four yield about 1000
quarts each, End three yield about ], $50.
quarts each. +
Here wac dairy representing the
three principal classes of cows, good
yielders, poor yielders and very poor
yielders Che three 3,500-quart COWS
were held at $75 head. The four
2,0Q0-quart cows were held at $45 a
head. The four 1,150-quart COWS were
held at $35 head.
In other terms, here were three good
cows to be had for $685. four poor ones
to be had for $3.50, and three very poor
ones to be had for $105 The buyer took
the three very poor ones and one of the
poor ones, paying $50 for the four
His idea was that he could not afford
to buy" three cows that cost $225, and
that he could afford to buy" four that
cost him $3.50.
How will his purchase work out dur
ing the coming year? Barring accidents
and disease, his four cows will yield
during the year $3.50 quarts Of milk,
and he will have four calves to raise or
sell. The milk will probably average
2.S cents quart, or $152.6O for the
year. The value of the calves, If put at
$40, would swell the years income to
$17260. That means an income OF
s43.15 per COW for the year.
The cost of keeping the four cows
will not be far below his income from
them, If, indeed, it does not equal or e1-
coed the income. Apparently these four
cows are not going to be valuable in
come earners.
Can he afford" to go on keeping
COWS of that class? Suppose he had
taken the three good cows at $225. How
would his year work out with them?
He would have paid $225 for the three
They would have yielded 10000 quarts
of milk in the same year. At the same
average price, 2.8 cents a quart, the In,
come from these cows would be $3.50
| for their milk. and their calves, at the
same price per head, would be worth
| SIS, making the years income 1909. II
we assume that the cows purchased just
paid for their feed and labor, the other
cows at the same rate would have left
after deducting these items, SEATS each,
or total of $194.25, to apply on the re-
payment Of the purchase price. The
second year at this rate the three good
cows would finish the cancellation OF
the original investment and leave a.
balance of $1635O. II the sum avail
able for investment is limited, curtail
the number of individuals rather than
the quality. Only the rich man can
afford to keep poor cows.

HORTICULTURAL BRIEFS.

An orchard is an investment that
will in time pay compound interest,
and to more than one generation, too.
The man who depends on govern
ment free seeds will reap many more
things than he sows, and regret will be
one of them.
Attend every horticultural meeting
possible. Any farmer can pick up
ideas and get information at the meet
ings that will be of great value.
Horticultural meetings should be
held at time when there is oppor-
tunity to make good displays of fruits.
Somewhere about November 1 is the
time Then the displays, if properly
labeled, become public educators. This
plan followed would in time cause a
demand for better apples. and color
alone would not be the chief selling

A charming gown of vieux rose wolfe

Near the hem of the skirt are some
tiny flounces. The bodice pouches over

WINDMILL CHURN.

run by a dog treadmill In the great
modern dairies the butter is churned by
the ton by steam or electricity. The
windmill churn, in actual use in some
parts of Holland, is at once very sim
pie and an inexpensive solution of the
problem. The milk is placed in jar or
similar vessel, which is inclosed in q
box, which in turn is fixed to the axle
of the windmill The wind, of course,
does the churning, and the faster the
wind blows the quicker will the butter
appear.

FASHION NOTESfromPARI

There are good many wolfe dresses
seen at the races, as we'll as some in cash
mere. crepe de chine, toile de sole, en-
broidered linen, and some beautiful
heavy guipures mixed with taffeta.
over here the toilette de course may be
as elaborate as one pleases Even those
frocks of a tailor-made order show a
considerable amount of trimming in the
way OF frills and furbelows, and nothing
is more difficult than to arrange some
of these frou-frou effects in tailor's
cloths, and still to retain the chic sim
pllclty that is ever beloved by leading
Parisiennes.
Dress for the Bots in the morning is
very simple. Here the tailor made, with
the short trotteuse skirt, is necessity,
though in the skirt or blouse there is a
tendency towards frills, gaugings, gath
ers, and fancy embroideries, and dainty
little finishing touches in vests and
sleeves are shown by the Introduction OF
plaid ribbons, taffeta rouchings, and
some beautiful old muslin embroideries
with plisse muslin frills to give the nee

seine velours as a finishing touch to
collars, vests, boleros, toilettes de re-
ception, and to many of the wraps and
pelerines. Velvet is also used for pip
ings on the taffeta frock, and few of us
care to dispense with this finishing touch
of softness and general becomingness.
1t is the same in head-gear. Some OF
the hardest Breton sailors are rendered
becoming to the face beneath by an inner
bandeau of velvet on the hair, and an
edging of velvet on the brm.
Many Of the new wolfe frocks are fin

Gus colors. Taffeta bands, too, are much
used, finished with quaint little rosettes
boned and beautifully shaped. There is
a new shade of wallflower velvet, which

Losses from Forest Fires.

The department of agriculture re-
ports that forest fires in the Adiron-
dacks between April 20 and June g.
last year caused losses amounting to-
$3,500,000. Fires in the western for
est reserves did vastly more damage
than this. but no doubt the destruction
is lessened by the activity of rangers
and government employees. The,
sheepmen claim that the chance of fire
spreading in the forests is not near
ly SO great where the sheep keep the
tall grass and underground eaten
down, and no doubt the assertion Isl
true. Sometimes fire is attributed
to the carelessness of some heraers
but as matter of fact the sheepman
would be more interested in prevent
ing a fire than anyone else, since II.
would deprive him of grass for his,
sheep.

REMOVAL OF LARGE TREES.
A Long Island Continuance Which
Makes the Work Easy and Is
Simple Indeed.

In reply to correspondent would say
that one Of the simplest and most sat
isfactory contrivances for removing
large trees on the farm or elsewhere
we have ever seen, is shown in the
accompanying illustration. In construc-
ton it Is very simple and cheap. 1t can
be MADE and used on any farm. The
device consists of three heavy pieces OF
oak timbers or other hard wood, five to
eight feet long, the size depending large
ly upon the size Of the trees to be re-
moved. The rear cross piece is bolted
on the lower bases, as shown in the
picture, and heavy log chain is at

It's the Brain That Counts.

1t matters little whether OF not the
soil of any section is very rich or
only moderately SO. The success or
failure of farming in that locality will
depend largely upon the farmers them
selves. Up-to-date men who are wide
awake, well educated and willing to
take advantage of every natural and
artificial aid will succeed and make
money. Do not be discouraged if your
farm is not quite as good as your
neighbours. The chances are you will
do better than he unless he be equal
ly progressive. Nor will you work any
harder 1t is brain, and not muscle
only. that counts. -Qrange Judd

tached to the hooks or rings in the
front pieces, as illustrated.
In removing large tree, a trench
10 dug around it, leaving ball of
tus is slipped around and under the
sides of this ball of earth containing the
tree. AS the sides of the boat are cut
out and rather sharp, these are
drawn together with log chain by q
team Of horses or block of tackled BY
drawing this up tightly the points are
brought together, thus raising and lift
ing the ball of earth and the tree upon
the runners. When everything is in
readiness, two or four horses, as the
case may require, are hitched to the
chain and the tree is drawn out, the
front part of the opening having been
slanted for that purpose.
When a tree is to be reset, hole
large enough to accommodate it is dug
with both sides slanting into it so that
the horses can be driven down through
and out the hole, thus drawing the tree
in place. BY loosening the chain and
hitching the horses to the other end
of the boat, this is easily withdrawn,
thus leaving the tree in position. By
filing the hole and watering carefully,
large trees can be easily removed, even
in midsummer, without serious disturb
ance. The one shown in the picture
was transplanted in July. 1902, and was
not injured in the least. The same
apparatus was used for transplanting
large block of maple, cedar and other
ornamental trees; it was designed,
made and used by Alexander Mayer. OF
