These figures are worth studying.
They show that the same amount of
feed and care may produce profit or
loss. Many a farmer devotes a large
part of his land to the raising of feed
for COWS and then gives it to animals
thai are unable to pay for it. In. such
a case it would pay better to leave
the land idle.
The showing made by these four
COWS should have attracted much at
tention; but Professor Fraser told
the writer that it was generally ignor-
ed. Farmers passed it with only a
casual glance and no remark. The
most common expression was, "Oh,
what a cute little 'calf!" applied to a
newly born bovine in a. corner stall.

Story Of Terrapin's Memory.

Il" H.. story OF ierrap'nS memory.
That Br'er Tarrypin has memory is
proved by a story told by Young D..
Hance, who owns the birthplace of
Chief Justice Taney, on Battle creek,
in Calvert county. { J..
Mr. .Hance keeps a small boat under
"a mulberry tree on the shore Of the
creek, and on going to the boat early
one morning he noticed a dry. land
terrapin busily engaged in eating a
few mulberries which had fallen. Mr..
Hance, wishing to assist Br'er Tarry-
pin in getting his breakfast, gathered
some mulberries and pitched them to
him one at time. In a very short
time the terrapin began to catch the
berries in his mouth exactly as they
were thrown to him. Every day after

boat would bring the terrapin out for
his mulberries, and Mr.. Hance often
took his friends and visitors to see his

it this young man was taking away
his only daughter, the daughter whom
he had so loved and watched over.
the daughter who was the image OF
her dearly loved mother?
AS he listened unheedingly to the
arguments of the young man and
dreamily to the music from the open
window, another dream of the long
ago came to him:
He, a young man once more. was
standing before an old man and ask.
ing for his daughter, answering argu-
ment with argument, and wrath with
proud humility and dogged tenacity OF
purpose. After all, he reflected, each
of us is al individual and life must
be lived.
He had half forgotten that Richard
was waiting, and he recalled himself
with start to hear the young man
say:
Il realize, sir, that am not at all
worthy Of her, but I know that no
man could be worthy, and my love
shall make up for my deficiencies
! After all, Richard seemed to have
some idea of the magnitude of the
boon which he was seeking. He would
bid them wait awhile; they would
know their own minds better in few
years and would be able to learn If
what they felt was really love or only
it's counterfeit. Something Of this he
put into words for his answer.
Much to his surprise his great con-
cession seemed to meet with a cool
! reception. With a singular tenacity
of purpose and stupefying audacity
the young man seemed about to argue
with him. ,--'
margaret is 81, sir, and am 26. I
think we may each of us claim to be
old enough to know our own minds.
You, yourself, as you told me, were

Two Kinds of Stock Water.

On many farms cattle are allowed
to go to some distant pond or creek,
where hole is cut in the ice for them
to drink, when, at an expense of
perhaps $50, water in abundance could
be got at the barn, writes T. B. Terry.
This is just the way it used to be
on my farm. After getting fixed, it
is no more work to pump the water
than to go and cut the holes in the
ice; and the manure saved in single
season would go long way toward
paying the $50, to say nothing of the
saving in feed from having the water
some 20degrees warmer; and the COM
fort of the stock. Cattle often do
not drink half enough when the water
is freezing cold, and hence they do
not thrive as well. If" am thirsty

Preparing the Orchard Ground,

Preparing the Orchard Ground.
The most important work to be
done for the future success of the
orchard is in preparing the soil prop
erly. Too often the man going into
orcharding is too hasty and sets his
trees in unprepared, soil. :: The result
is short-lived trees, a feeble growth,
easily affected by drouth and extreme
cold; and this man at the end of five
years will find, If he had taken. two
years. time to properly prepare his
ground and then plant his trees, would
find his trees healthier, with a larger
growth than II planted two years soon
or. II the soil is worn out, get it into
clover, use plenty OF land plaster on
it, then turn under this crop and
thoroughly work it. II the soil is new,

to use any fertilizers, but, clean it from

danger in the north part. OF our state
is in having too rich a soil, and not
having enough air drainage, being
surrounded BY timber, causing too rap
i'd growth and blighting;; but this will

Good and Poor Cows.

At the Illinois f State Fair just
closed the University of Illinois had
an exhibit that should have attracted
attention. It was Of the two poorest
and the two best cows in the station
herd. The two poorest cows are mon
ey losers and the two best cows are
money makers. Professor Fraser tried
to make the lesson more impressive
by placing on scaffold over the
heads of the cows, butter tubs repre-
senting the amount of butter each
cow made in a year. Over the head Of
each of the two poorest cows was a
sixty-pound tub surmounted by a for
ty-pound tub. Over the head of each
OF the other two cows were placed
three sixty-pound tubs surmounted by
three forty-pound tubs; for the best
COW produced 312 pounds of butter fat
last year, the next best 304 pounds of
butter fat, one Of the poor cows pro
duced 121 pounds Of butter fat, and
the poorest produced just 100 pounds
of butter fat. The two poorest cows
gave together 221 pounds of butter fat
1nrthe year and the two best-cows GIG
pounds. The two best ones gave about
three times as much butter fat as did
the two poorest ones, and that on the
same feed and care.
1t is pity that our farmers will not
take such: an example to heart. For
butter making the two best cows
were worth ten thousand times more
than the two poorest cows; for the
latter were worth practically nothing.

The Key to the, Situation.

A bulletin of the Illinois station
says: The application of the scales
and the Babcock 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 appara-
tus he can make each cow render an
accurate account OF, the food and care
given her. This points out the best
individuals from which to- select off,
spring in building up the herd. A
rapid Improvement may be brought
about by the Introduction and use of
a pure bred sire of good breeding
and approved type: The continued
use of the scales and Babcock test
together with good breeding and rigid
selection. soon raises the. herd to a
plane, of greater production and af-
fords the owner greater personal sat

to good treatment should be disposed

1t was second nature with the Judge
to wish to put his visitor thoroughly
at ease. Moreover, he rather liked
the visitor, this son of his old friend
and comrade in arms.
You will sit down, Richard:?" he
asked, noting an unusual trace of awk-
Wardness in the younger mans man
ner.
From an open window on the other
side of the house floated the sound
of a girls voice, full, rich contralto,
singing a little love song, old-fash-
ioned and quantity beautiful.
1t brought up memories to the older
man, and in their strain he seemed
half to forget the presence of the
other.
1t cost him an effort to bring himself
back into the present and to make
some conventional remark about the
beauty Of the evening; a remark to
which the younger man replied in a
strain of equal conventionality.

At this remark the old man looked
quickly and sharply at the guest.

jackanapes was coming to ask for

words which followed completed the
shock.

went on the younger man, somewhat
hastily, but with a fine air of pride
in his manner.
After all, reflected the judge, some.
thing like this was bound to come
sooner or later. But there was no
earthly reason why the young man
should be in such hurry to carry off
Margaret. They were both mere chill.

Old Land for Orchards.

1t is not advisable to locate
orchards on new lands. Some of
these lands may be very fertile, but
there are good reasons why they
should not be put at once into fruit.
The temptation to do so is very great,
as 1t is argued that, by SO using the
land the new trees will BE growing
while the old stumps are rotting. If
it were possible to cultivate such land
by the use of the spade and the hoe,
one OF the main objections would be
done away with. But hand work is
too expensive to be applied to large
commercial orchard in the first years
OF it's existence. Horse work is cheap
and must be utilized. That kind o.
labor cannot be utilized on new
ground full of stumps and roots. If
trees are planted on land that has
been merely cut over, the cultivation
is sure to be neglected. The trees
will not receive the attention they
would have received on land that is
well-cleared, well-pulverized, and that
has been worked by plow. and cult
vator for number OF years at least.
Usually, too insect pests are more
abundant on new land than on old. II
new land must be used, it is better
to cultivate it for two or three years
in some crop that requires thorough
stirring of the soil. If possible the
last crop before the orchard is set
should be leguminous one, that the
soil may, have a good supply OF nitro.

SILENT SUFFERERS

ENcE RATHER THAN CON-
SUIT A PHYSICIAN.

A sense OF modesty frequently pre-
vents women who are really sick and
suffering from seeking the aid of a
physician. They do not even care to
consult their family doctor. They
know that they are sick; that their
periods are painful; that in all pre-
ability they are suffering from ovarian
troubles, or that they have those drag
sing pains which always point to pro-
lapsus or falling of the womb. They
know they need help, yet do not know
how to obtain 1t.
To such we speak in candor and in
honesty. G. F. P (Gerstle's Female
Panacea) will positively cure all such

standing or how stubborn.
