A poor Irishman one day went to
the office Of an Irish bank and asked
for change in gold for fourteen one
pound Bank of Ireland notes. The
cashier at once replied that the Cav
an bank only cashed its own notes.
"Then would ye gle me Cavan
lrotes for these?" asked the country
man in his simple way.
YCertainly," said the cashier,
handing the fourteen notes as de-
sired.
The lrishman took the Cavan
notes, but Immediately returned
them to the official, saying;
Would ye gle me gold for these,
sir?" And the cashier, caught in
has own trap, was obliged to part
with the money. London Answers

A reader of these notes who resides
in southern Minnesota writes us in
closing statement of the receipts
from his herd of Holstein cows from
Jan. 1. 1905, to Jan. l. 1906. He
mentions the prevailing dislike which
the average farmer entertains for the
dairy COW particularly, but considers
his showing so good that he sends 1t
with the request that we publish It,
which it is a pleasure to do. The gen

the Holstein breed of cattle and be
lieves they take the lead over other
breeds rs money makers and all round
purpose animals. A year ago the herd
in question numbered thirteen mixers
and the 1st of July these were aug
mented by the addition of two young
heifers. The books of the creamery
show the following yield from the ami
