Milk Scales, the Milk Sheet and the

Probably the most expensive error
usually made by our farmers is the
failure to keep books that will at any
time enable them to tell whether they

is no reason why there should not be
constant lookout for leaks, because one
improbable cow in the herd had far
better be sold at beef prices than kept
in the herd to reproduce her kind and
continually reduce the profits of the
dairy.
By the use of the milk scales, the
milk sheet and the Babcock test the
dairyman can Gull out every unprofita-
BILE animal from the herd with but lit
tie trouble and expense and at the
same time determine at the end of
each month what his total profits are.
The first cut shows milk scales,
which will cost from So to S4, and
should be suspended in a convenient
place near where the milk is received
from the pals. On the dial of the
scales is hand, or indicator, that can
be adjusted by a thumb screw. Though
the capacity of scales of this kind
usually ranges from thirty to sixty
pounds, the face shows only ten
pounds, and each pound is subdivided
| into tenths. The indicator should be
adjusted so that it will stand at O
mark when the empty pail is hanging
ON the scales.
| Where several milk pals are used it
will be necessary for them all to weigh
the same, so as to use the same scales.
This can be done by using all pals of
the same size and make and by rum
ming a little solder on the bottom of
each. which can be scraped down un-
til they all weigh exactly the same. AS
the pail that contains the milk from
each COW is carried to the can it should
first be hung on the scales, and while
hanging there the weight (Which is the
weight of the milk. not including the
paiD should be recorded ON the milk
sheet, which is tackled on the wall in

Reputation and Prosperity.

Our immense business this last year leaped by jerks and bounds until 1t ex- ceeded our most sanguine expectations. We prospered-due to the general good times and our individual business methods. More people realize every season that we sell shoes for man, woman and child that can be obtained for muc1 less than others ask for an inferior make. In order to do this we are compelled to buy in large quantities and place big advance orders Our summer goods are already shipped and we must make room for them. To do it we have cut every price in the store without regard to profit or cost. The figures we have made are intended to clean out every heavy and medium weight shoe in the store in two weeks time.
 We earnestly request our old customers and patrons to come to our Prosperity Sale as early as possible, as we are de- sirous that they should get the benefit of our regular qualities at these unusual prices. COX SHOE CO,
