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 Dairymaa 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 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, and three yield about 1,15O
quarts each.
Here was dairy representing the
three principal classes of cows, good
yielders, poor yielders and very poor
yielders. The three 3,500-quart cows
were held at SIS head. The four
2,000-quart cows were held at $45 a
head The four 1,15O-quart cows were
held at $50 head.
In other terms, here were three good
cows to be had for s225, 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 $3.50 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 a quart, or $152.6O for the
year. The value of the calves, if put at
$2O would swell the years income to
$172.60. That means an income OF
$43 Is per COW for the year.
The cost of keeping the four cows
them, if, indeed, it does not equal or ex-
coed the income. Apparently'these four
COWS are not going to be valuable in
come earners.
Can he afford to 60 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. AZ the same
average price. 2.S cents quart, the in
come from these cows woeld 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 just
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 $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 $16350. If 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.

HELPFUL DAIRY NOTES.

Milk. should be separated before the
temperature falls, as at the tempera-
ture at which it is drawn separation is
easy.
Milk cans filled with milk cool faster
IN water than in air at the same tenn
perature, as the water is better con-
ductor of heat
Most stables have too much cowy
odor in them to make it safe to keep
milk in the stable after it is drawn
or to do the separating in that place.
Some men separate their milk in the
stable and say that if the stable is not
clean enough for that operation it is
not clean enough for the operation OF
milking.
The practice of sending milk to the
creamery without straining it should
be discontinued. The strainer is of
value yet, even though separators are
used in creameries.
If man does not want to take time
to wash his cows before they are
MIXED, rubbing the udders with a
damp cloth will do some good, ard is
not a time-wasting operation.

Goat Fills Important Place

The goat is the poor mans COW. The
ordinary family in the city may have
a supply Of the best milk in the world
at nominal cost, by keeping a goat.
The animal will browse in the bac'-
yard and back alley 1t will eat any,
thing and everything OF course what
1t eats manifests itself in the milk. The
average family throws away enough
apple, tomato and turnip parings, with
other waste from the table, to keen a
goat in good condition. The goat will
eat the labels off tin cans in going
after the paste, but there is no record
that he ever ate the can itself. The
goat must have exercise. If her range
Is not large, a ladder placed in the
backyard will serve her purpose adj
mirably, and she will prove her sure
footedness in clambering over it. For
the best results the goat should be
MIXED three times a day, though not
at all necessary unless convenient

sleep at night, would roll and toss in
my bed and when did get to sleep

looked like bird tracks, had sour
belchings from the stomach, indiges-

heart, constipation, irregularity of the
kidneys, etc.

troubles that human flesh could suffer,
but when friend advised me to leave
off coffee felt as If he had insulted
me. could not bear the idea, it had
such a hold on me and refused to be-

In Society,".

A woman in society is obliged to keep
late hours. She must attend receptions
and balls. She seldom allows herself a
quiet evening at home. Her whole time
is taken up in keeping engagements or
entertaining in her own home.
Her system becomes completely run
down as a consequence. She soon finds
herself in a condition known as sys-
temic catarrh. This has also been called
catarrhal nervousness.
If every society woman could know
the value of Peruna at such time, If
they could realize the inVigorating,
strengthening effect that Peruna would
have. how much misery could be
avoided
Letters from society women all over
the United States testify to the fact that
Peruna is the tonic for a run down,
depleted nervous system.

WINDMILL CHURN.

churn has been replaced among many
enterprising farmers by patent churn
run by dog treadmill. In the great
modern diaries 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 a
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.

Gained Twenty Pounds.

Hartford Mills, n. Y, May l6.-This
neighborhood is aroused as never before
by some wonderful cures by Dodd's Kid
ney Pills. These began with the case
of Mrs. j. d. Wallace, who had been
in very poor health for a long time and
who had got so bad at last that she
couldn't walk from her home to the VII
lage and back, distance of about eighty
rods, without being tired out and in. pain
all over.
She had only used few of Dodd's Kid
ney Pills, when she noticed change for
the better and in a very short time she
was able to walk any reasonable distance
and do any kind of woman's work with
out feeling any bad effects.
She has gained twenty pounds in weight
in three months and is now as we'll a
woman as could be found. She declares
the Dodd's Kidney Pills deserve all the
credit for her wonderful restoration.
