1T is a sad story remarked Mrs
Kenneth, whose sweet face showed
lines drawn by great suffering and
care. II cannot expect you to realize
all it meant to us; seeing our cities
besieged, our homes threatened and
despoiled. 1t was no wonder, think,
that the southern women were unrea-
sonable-that hatred and passion were
nursed into the very veins of their in
fant babes. I was only little girl
then, but the memory will never die
out, though calmness and better judg-
ment have taken out the bitterness and
passion"
"War at its best is horror We too
suffered" Mrs. Warner said, gently.
"Grandmother had two sons," re-
sumed Mrs. Kenneth, "and tall, beau
tiful lads they were. l can feel yet
the thrill of my childish worship of
my uncles, William and Harry. Will
liam was the oldest, and two years
before the war broke out he had a
very advantageous offer to go into
business in New York. We had never
held slaves, not SO much from princi-
pie as a distaste for the system, so
when the war broke out the race
question had comparatively little to
do in molding our feelings. 1t was a
fight against invasion, and Harry threw

"The news cut her deeply, and from
that day she seemed to nave Fremont

meet in battle. The thought was hor-
ror, and I can remember yet the stony
look of despair which would come
over her poor face when an engage

1T came at last. After the battle .of
Gettysburg they were sent home-both

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

In a recent issue Of the Dairyman Is
given a 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 a farm whose owner
had ten COWS to SELL Of the ten, three
are COWS that Yields over $500 quarts of
milk each year, four yield about 1000
quarts each, and three yield about 1 $50
quarts each.
Here was a dairy representing the
three principal classes of cows, good
yielders The three 3.500-quart COWS
were held at SIS a head. The four
2.000-Quart COWS were held at s45 a
head. The four l,150-quart COWS were
held at $35 head
In other terms here we're three good
cows to be had for 1925. four poor ones
to be had for $780, and .hree very poor
ones to be had for $1O5. The buyer took
the three very poor ones and one of the
poor ones. paying $3.50 for the four.
His idea was that he could not afford
to buy three COWS tha: 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 OF
! sell. The milk will probably average
| 2,8 cents quart. or $152.60 for the
year. The value of the calves. if put at
$40, would swell the years income &c
$l72.6O. That means an income OF
$43.15 per COW for the year.
The cost of keeping the four COWS
will not be far below his income from
them. it, indeed. it does not equal or ex-
ceeG 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 1925. How
would his year work out with them:
He would have paid 1925 for the three
They would have yielded 10000 quarts
of milk in the same year. At the same
average price. 2.8 cents quart, the in
come from these COWS would be 1924
for their milk. and their calves. at the
same price per head. would be worth
SIS. making the years income 5000. II
we assume that the COWS purchased jus,
paid for their feed and labor the other
COWS at the same rate would have left
after deducting these items, $64.75 each
or a total of 1874 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 S163.50. If the sum avail
able for investment is limited curtaii
the number of individuals rather than
the quality. Only the rich man car
afford to keep poor COWS.

TREND TOWARD THE FARM.
Time at Hand When Country Life
Will Be Regarded as Highly
Here as It Is in England.

One of the most serious problems
that confronts the economic world to-
day is to keep the young men on the
farms. For many years there has been
a tendency 70 cOngregate in the cities,
and to such an extent has this been
carried that all the vocations of city
life have been so overcrowded that
to-day it is well-nigh impossible for
a stranger to get a foothold. For
every situation there are a score of
applicants, and the young man who
has no influential friends to render
him aid is indeed unfortunate. We
have long believed that this condition
of affairs would correct itself One
of the reasons that our young men
have been so willing to leave the old
country home has been the lack OF
country attractions. This can hardly
be said to hold good to-day. The troll
ley car, telephone and free rural mail
delivery have well-nigh wiped out the
distinctions between city and suburban
life. Another powerful factor now
working for the upbuilding of the
country life is the agricultural college.
Our young men are fast learning tha*
farming is no longer the haphazard
business of former day, but is one
of the most exacting and scientific of
pursuits. With this knowledge comes
a higher respect for the vocation and
a stronger desire to enter the industry.
The tide is thus gradually but surely
turning, and the time is near at hand
when farming will be held in the same
high regard here that it has long been
in England. In that country when a
man achieves financial success he at
once seeks a country estate for home
Here the reverse has long held true
and the city home has been held up
as the IDEAL This false system of eth
les is rapidly going to the wall and
a more exalted idea of country life is
taking it's place. Rich and poor alike
are beginning to take to the farm. 1!
is the ideal spot for a home.-Lewiston
