WHY Tbev Come Back to Land.

1t is surprising how many city peo-
pie are thinking, talking and actually
going into farming nowadays. Men Of
all classes, from the successful bust
ness man to the labOrer, are interested.
Probably the most potent cause with
those who have to earn their living is
the Increased cost of living in the city
There are thousands Of careful, indus
trious men in the cities to-day who are
making a living and nothing more
wifi the uncertainty of steady work
always before them and the possibility
of sickness, which would place them
il an embarrassing position. These are
the people who are vitality interested
and some of them have already solved
the problem by going to the country.

In the case Of many of the children

have begun to keep a card index,
which they hope to extend throughout
the ehCIre school system. On a card
is put the name of the child and the
date of the examination and just what
he or she is suffering from. Printed
notices have been prepared and sent
to the parents, stating that the ex-

have an apparently abnormal condi-

Your Neighbours Cow.

Every progressive dairyman should
take an interest in the kind of cows
his neighbor keeps. He should do
this, first from the unselfish stand.
point of wishing good to his neighbor.
and also because in many ways it is
to his own advantage for his neighbor
to have good cows. If he and his
neighbor are both taking milk to the
same creamery or the same cheese
factory it is to his advantage to have
his neighbor take to the institution
as much milk as possible, that the cost
of changing it into a marketable pro-
duct may be as light as possible. IF
the farmer is making butter and send
ing it away to be sold, the more his
nelghbor can send away the better for
the first, as two consignments in the
same direction can be made more ad.
vantageously than one.

Result of Dirt.

During recent years there has been
much complaint of the "fishy" smell
OF butter, and all kinds of suggestions
have been made as to its possible ORR
gin. 1t is not, however, believed that
this is a new difficulty, but that it is
an old trouble under new name #
is altogether probable that the flavor
or smell is named "fshy" more to ac-
commodate a vivid imagination than
anything else. Not that there is not
something after the nature of "fsbi.
ness" but that it is not enough nro.

Key to Successful Dalryi1u,

A bulletin of the Illinois station
says: The application of the scales
and the Babcoek test to the perform
ance of each COW gives the dairyman
the key to the situation Where for
merly he had to grope in the dark and
trust to judgment, now he can find
out the truth for himself With but
little outlay of time and apparatus he
can make each COW render an accur-
ate account of the food and care Civ
en- her. This points out the best indi-
Vlduals from which to select offspring
IN building up the herd. A rapid i'm
provement may be brought about by
the introduction and use of a pure,
bred sire OF good breeding and ap-
proved type. The continued use of the
scales and Babcock test, together
with good breeding and rigid selec-
ton, soon raises the herd to plane
OF greater production and affords the
owner greater personal satisfaction.
COWS that do not respond to good
treatment should be disposed of at
once. In case of doubt the individual
may be kept an additional year. but a
cow seldom has two "off years" in sue
cession.

Cows Creatures of Habit.

COWS are creatures of habit. and
this applies as much to their food as
TO anything else. A change of feed

DuaI-Purpose Cows,


The subject of developing the dairy
qualities of the Shorthorn, thus con.
forming to the dual-purpose ideal, has
been receiving unusual attention in
Great Britain. In the past the best
dairy performers in the country have
come mostly from the unregistered
ranks. The Lincolnshi-3 reds and the
unrecorded Shorthorns have figured
prominently in the leading dairy
shows. Recently some of the Short
horn breeders have felt that this feat
ure was not receiving sufficient en-
couragement. AS several of the first
prize winners at the London dairy
show have been pure bred Shorthorns
and many others descendants OF
Shorthorns, it is very evident that I'M
limited possibilities exist in breeding
their herds in this direction. In this
connection it may be said that mild
attempt was made by our Shorthorn
association in this country to encour-
age the dairy qualities of pure bred
herds by including milking statistics
in the herd book While the associa-
ton gave it their sanction, yet encour,
agement went no farther than this
and consequently nothing has been
done so far as we are aware to en-
courage developments in this import
ant direction. This could be done
probably if we could secure a $25, 900
appropriation from congress.-Denver"

usual visitors, Long Dick and Gid

Clarence opened his book again.
and, casting a casual glance over the
pages, remarked that he did not see
what they had to do with the peace of
the miners of the Klondyke. Gid was
about to speak when his friend began:

Ben Holton was only a stupid fell

the goods and preparing for the
journey.
Laura took her place on the sled,
and the Esquimau with big snow

Are you strapped in securely?"

They were soon in the midst of
driving snowstorm, and Kate Willis
declared that she Gust knew that
child would freeze"
They halted before reaching the
summit and camped. Tents had been
taken to provide for the comfort of
Laura Kean. She and Kate were
housed in tent warmed by gasoline
stove, which made it quite comfort.
able.
Next day they resumed their march,
crossed the summit and began the
descent.
Lakeland was often seen talking
with one of the Indians, who spoke
English fairly well, and was a big,
burly, Misunderstanding fellow. One
day two men came to their camp.
They held long and earnest confer
ences, and when they went away that
night the man named Ben Allen went
with them. 1t is perhaps needless
to inform the reader that the two men
were Morris and Ned Padgett, who
brought the information that Paul and
the old hermit were prisoners in the
cavern.
ut is lucky | learned of his cap
ture, thought Lakeland. Curse him,
why isn't he dead? For over a year
he has been lost in the forest and
thought to be dead now, why isn't
he dead?"
Lakeland little dreamed that the
very tools he was using were willing
to betray him if they could make
more out OF it, and that they were try
ing by brides and threats to extort
from the prisoners in the cavern the
secret of the cached treasure.
After Ben left the party to fulfil his
orders they camped three weeks in
a valley.
Laura inquired why they delayed so
long, but Lakeland had abundant ex-
cuses, and assured her they would
go on before winter set in in earnest. |
Already lowering clouds had hung
over the valley and covered it with
snow
At last they broke camp and were
moving slowly toward the Yukon,
when a dog was discovered coming
toward them, Beyond a doubt it was
the property of some of the Klondyk-
ers. Horsa Cummins discovered a
strip of tanned skin about it's neck
and called the attention of Lakeland
to it.
He quickly removed it and read:
I'VE are in the forest out of food
and starving Follow on the trail at
once and find us. Paul Miller and
The bit of tanned skin dropped from
the trembling hand of Theodore Lack
land. He pressed his hand to his fore
head and groaned.
What is it, boss?" asked Cummins.
Go into camp. We must start at
once to find some men who are starry
ng."
When they went into camp, after
.aking care to see that Laura was
made comfortable, he took one man
md three Indians and started on the
back trail made by the dog. All the
while he was thinking:
Paul Miller and one companion.
Who can that companion be?"
