Exactly W.T. It was British tailor who
took Boni's courtship Of Miss Anna |
Gould out of the realm of the impossi-
BILE and made him hurry to New York
and cut his cousin out!
I think these facts have never been
published; and they are certainly exact.
In the beginning Miss Anna Gould
was shown about in Paris to be mar
ried. The lady who had her social in
terests in hand-herself unmarried,
tho mature and force in the older
American colony presented Boni $
cousin for her hand He was Bosom
de Talleyrand, afterwards, called the
Due de Valencay; and he. is the young
Morton, and whom she subsequently
divorced. As this latter marriage took
place years after Boni's and as the di
vorce came off years before Boni 8, his
Hwear' as a possible husband to an
American girl was obviously less than
Boni's. ""''' -
But nothing of this could have been
foreseen in those early days. Bosom de
Talleyrand was looked on as the &C
Gould IS hand in Paris; and everything
was made easy for him. When the girl
returned to New York, it was under
stood that he would shortly follow her.
And here a little blonde young man

! But British tailor. Boni was very
young, without dollar, and practically
nobody The year previously the same
| British tailor had made difficulties to
| accord him three summer suits on cred
it. Now his confidence grew suddenly.
Innocently and enthusiastically the
blond boy had told the tailor of a sud
den chance for fortune that he saw
before him. - Up to then he had been
the poor cousin; no one paid attention
to him, but he knew that he had made
a much stronger impression on his
cousin 8 fancee-to-be than anyone had
dreamed of. Had he clothes and money
to rush after her, he knew that he could

with splendid clothes and not a littl

Live Dairy Practice

Do you know why your milk doesn't
test per cent? There is a poor COW
or two In the bunch. Each COW has
her capacity for milk and butter fat.
Find out what it is. Then you'll know
whether you need her In your business
more than the butcher does.
The Individual Cow.
Individual cows producing the most
milk or butter fat on a certain amount
Of feed should preferably be used for
breeding. Only by breeding in pro-
portion to live weight and amount of
milk produced Is 1t possible to ascer-
tain which individuals in the herd have
the best assimilative and productive
capacity.
Knowledge Ia Power.
Successful dairying involves consid-
cradle testing, both of individual cows
and of milk and cream sent to the
creamery or skimming station. No
dairyman can afford to continue to
milk cows unless he knows what they
are doing, and he Is unable to know
this without weighing the milk and
testing 1t from time to time for its but
ter fat content. For this reason 1t be-
hooves every dairyman to have hand
tester at least. 1t will soon pay for
itself from a monetary standpoint, be-
sides adding much interest and salts
faction to the owner who Is milking
the cows. 1t will enable him to know
which cows are his money makers and
what cows are his debt contractors.
Making Persistent Mixers.
Heifers, after their first calf, should
always be MIXED for as long a period
as possible-say ten months-even If
only stripping and never allowed to go
dry about six months after calving, as
they often will if precautions are not
taken. This encourages a most valu-
able habit. that of persistent milking.
The Registry Certificate.
When person buys an animal that
Is claimed to be registered the purchas-
er should demand the certificate of
registry and have the transfer of own
ership made with pen and ink on the
back of the certificate This transfer
should give the name of the purchaser
and date Of the transaction and should
be signed by the seller.-American Cul-
tivator.
On the Dairy Route.
The intelligent, conscientious dairy
farmer, who is ever seeking to con-
dense time and labor. may find the en-
tire secret of success quickly summed
up In three great rules that stand at
every turn along the entire route of
dairying, simple, plain and straight
forward guide board pointing out with
immovable hand the royal road to sue
cess. The directions are spelled In big
capital letters and read, Cleanliness,
kindness and unfagging energy
Mrs. A. F. HOWE.
Quality First, Price Afterward.
Everywhere that dairying is carried
on there is demand for better dairy
animals. Men nowadays go halfway
around the globe In search Of pure
bred high quality dairy bull or an ideal
dairy COW. 1t is quality first and price

THE VETERINARY

Horses that are afflicted with a
chronic disease that causes a loud, I'M
natural noise In breathing are said to
have thick wind or to be roarers This
class does not include those afflicted
with severe sore throat, as In these
cases the breathing is noisy only dur
Ing the acute attack Of the disease.
Thick wind is caused by an obstruction
to the free passage of the air In some
part OF the respiratory tract. The
noisy breathing of horses after having
been idle and put to sudden exertion
Is not due to any disease and Is only
temporary. Horses fed on the seeds
Of leguminous and some other plants
have paralysis of the laryngeal mus
cles, particularly when fed chick vetch.
Other cases may come from lead pol
soning, sore throats and many times
from heredity. Roaring, the name by
which the disease Is generally known,
Is only symptom and not the disease.
In bad cases the animal fairly suffo-
Gates. The cure depends much on the
cause, and many times such horses are
treated with little success. You can
try one dram potassium iodide once a
day for week and then one-half
ounce of Fowler's solution once day
for the next week In the drinking wa
ter, and If this does not do any good
you would better go to a good veteri-
narian.-M. ID. Williams, d. V. s., in

Marbles In Cattle.
Lumps or sores on the backs of cat
tie are caused by the larvae of the
MARBLE fly, or OK MARBLE, black fly
thickly covered with yellowish hair.
They lay the eggs on the backs of cat
tie from June to September The grubs
hatch out and bore through the skin
and live there, next to the flesh, all
winter. In the spring the mature grub
crawls out and falls to the ground.
Put q thumb on each side of the lump
and Squeeze the grub out, or mix lard
and sulphur and rub 1t into the Jumps,
which destroys the grub. During July
and August rub over the backs of cat
tie mixture of four ounces flowers Of
sulphur, one gill spirits Of tar and one
quart train oil, and 1t will prevent the
Fly from laying its eggs. Rub on once
week. The chief harm these grubs
do is the making of holes In the hide,
thus lessening its value in market
