Crosses are usually better for
farmers than pure breeds.
Whenever possible test the cows
milk before buying her.
A COW that tests below three per
cent is not worth keeping.
Cows and horses should not be
allowed in the same pasture.
Richer food does not mean richer
milk it means more milk.
Many dairymen like an ounce of
salt to pound of butter.
Do not wet your hands when
milking; if yon do you flavor the
milk.
The calf should have new milk
exclusively the first IA or 20 days.
Adding hot water to cream while
ch1rning is the worst of all practi-
ces.
If the butter takes too long to
come, add one or two fresh cows to
the dairy.
Warm milk from the COW does
not absorb odors. While cooling
keep it in pure atmosphere.
Pair the animals of such families
as give much and rich milk, so the
progeny will produce much and
rich milk.

Prejudice.

The word prejudice" comes from
two Latin words, PRO" or "pre," be-
forehand. and "judico," judge. There
fore prejudice" means the forming Of
an opinion beforehand or before knowl-
edge. To form an opinion or declare a
judgment concerning any subject with
out or ignoring knowledge is 'preju-
dice" An opinion formed after life
long acquaintance and experience and
after thorough investigation and study
may be erroneous. but cannot properly
be styled prejudice" When the teach
ing and experiences of the world are
dlsregarded. when the facts Of history
and science are ignored or denied, the
conclusions or opinions thus arrived at
must not only be mistaken, but they
must be the result of prejudice.

Wearing and wasting us this ira

to 1924 he wrote thirty volumes, and
in 1924 he was but twenty-five years
of age and had not even begun to think
of the 'Comedie Humaine.'
"Between 1880 and 1S42 seventy-nine
novels of the Comedy saw the light,

he pleaded with his doctor for six
months. six weeks, six days in which

When the Thunder Rolls.
trrom tile Detroit Tribune,

Excellent authorities agree that in
a thunderstorm the middle of a
room is much the safest place in a
house. A carpeted floor or one
covered by a heavy thick rug is bet

is well to keep away from chimneys
and out Of cellars. In the open air
tall trees are dangerous. A person
sheltered under low tree or scrub
30 or 40 feet from large and lofty
tree is quite safe. If lightning
strikes in the immediate vicinity it
will hit the high tree as rule, with
few exceptions. Water is a very
good conductor, and it is we'll to

Dury Your Troubles.

Train yourself to keep your troubles
to yourself. Don't pour them out upon
acquaintances or strangers. 1t isn't
their fault If you have troubles, and
they don't want to hear Of yours, be-
cause they have so many Of their own.
And besides-here is point to con-
sider-if you insist on telling other
people of your grievances they will at
length come to dislike and shun you,
because thereby you prevent them
from telling their troubles.

Value of Good Humor.

A thing always to be cultivated is
good humor. No prop to trouble
has yet been discovered the equal in
strength Of good nature. 1t is just
as much an obligation of men to
tight against depression as it is to
fight against oppression, and yet
men yield readily to depression and
say they will die before they will
submit to oppression. They begin
at the wrong place with their heroics.
Good humor is the safety valve. 1t
provides way for unnecessary and
harmful steam, which, if confined,
may result in ruinous explosion.
Good humor dwells in the house of
comfort; it waters the plants, feeds
the canary, draws the curtains to ad-
nit the sunlight and at evening
time it lights the lamp.-Sioux City
Journal.
