might have been worse.

Any other boy would have been hurt, or

the present Sam Little soon learned to do.
Perhaps. you will not believe it, but he used
often to lie on the floor, looking more like a
ball than anything else, with his chubby little
loot in his hand, and his big toe stuck in his
mouth.
To find a name for the other baby was not,
by any means, such an easy thing. They
searched far and wide, consulted their many
trends, looked through the biographical die
tlonary, rubbed up.their knowledge of foreign
cogho9meens, but all to no purpose. Nothing
would mt. There was not one upon which
they could all agree.

TN7NE cold, starry night, with soft
IAI white covering of snow upon the
ground, there came to the great
IlH house on the hill a strange, wee
traveller They called him baby"
at first, and gave him the warmest,
heartiest welcome that ever stranger receiv-
ed. No wonder, though, for all who lived in
the great house were grownup folks There
was grandpa and grandma. Baby's papa and
mamma, and the servants; 80 you may imag
inc that the arrival of this stranger made a
great change for them.
Evidently he came to stay, judging by the
size of his wardrobe, which had been sent on
in advance. And such beautiful things-the
softest fannels, richest, flmiest laces heavy
embroideries, feecy zephyr things, piles Of
them
You would really conclude that he must
belong to the royal family, if you had seen
the attention he received. Certainly he was
rich little gentleman. 1t has been said
that he was born with gold spoon in his
mouth, but, Of course, do not know about
of the great house were very rich before he
came, and afterward they considered them
selves much richer; SO he must have brought
something with him.
later perhaps, another stranger CHANGED to be
travelling that way. He did not climb the
hill, but stopped at very small house that
stood at its foot, in the hollow. A number
OF just such travellers had been entertained
there before, and, it being no new thing, there
was not much preparation made for this one.
The two must have come from the same
country, for each was called Baby" and
really they behaved very much alike. Neither
of them seemed to have much manners ex-
cept when it suited him. They cried often,
made faces, kicked, and otherwise acted
shamefully; Still, in ting. great. house and lit
tie one alike, all that kind of behavior was
considered funny rather than naughty.
Day by day these babies grew pretty and
roly-poly and bright, the rich one the pretti.
est, the poor one the most roly-polv and both
smart enough yet to, make name for himself,
and surely they ought not to be called by the
same name any longer; SO. their friends set
about finding such as would suit.
Mrs. Little, she who lived in the little
house, did not have to look long or far. Her
husband had been suddenly killed by an ac.
cident two or three months before Baby came.
aud his wife thought it would seem nice to
be saying his name often. All the Little fam
lily thought SO, too. So they agreed to call
the stranger Sammy.
Sammy Little was the way it was written in
the big family Bible, but, being such busy
folks, 1t took them too long to pronounce
both syllables, so it was soon shortened to
Sam.
Poor Sam Little, never to see or know his
father That was sad. People said;

PARAFFlNING or CHEESE.

Ii Eay BE Done ON the Farm at Lit
tie Expcnse.
Nearly all factory cheese is now par
affined, and the advantages obtained
by covering the cheese With thin lay
er of parafhn are:
The loss in weight du.ing curing is
much less than without the paraffin,
and the cheese will stand higher tenn
perature in the curing room without
damage.
Mold is, entirely prevented or at least
greatly checked.
Flies cannot deposit their eggs
through the paraffin, and that prevents
shippers.
The paraffiniEg of factory cheese is
done by dipping II In melted parafhn,
cheese, but of course it takes quite q
large kettle full to dip even a ten
pound cheese, and this method would
Oh that account be somewhat expen-
sive for cheesemakers on the farm.
The parafining can, however, be done
at practically no expense and with
very little work by the following meth
cd:
Melt pound or two of parafin (cost-
ing about 15 cents per pound in ket-
tie until it is quite hot and begins to
smoke and then cover the surface of
the cheese, using a fairly stiff brush,
say about an inch in diameter, and rub
it in good. Be sure to keep the paraf-
fin hot and dip the brush frequently.
Do not try to cover too much surface
with one dipping of the brush. The
coating should be about half the thick
ness Of dime and adhere well to the
cheese. 1t takes less than 1 cents
worth Of parafin for a ten pound
cheese.
The cheese should preferably be
from three to ten days old when par
afined, and the surface must be wiped
dry. 1t is best to leave the cheese in
warm room for some hours before
parafining; otherwise it is difficult to
get a coating that will stick AS the
farmer generally has no regular curing
room, says a writer in Eoard's Dairy
man, it will pay him well to take the
little extra trouble in paraffning all
his cheese.

EoIH Inter Worker.

A very effective butter worker, which
will save great deal CT labor, can be
made by any man at all handy with
maple preferred. Fashion tie pieces
into a wide, shallow trough, tapering at
one end to, about four inches. Set this
trough on three legs, two under the
wide end and one under the narrow
end, strengthened by an extra piece IN
derneath to fit them into.
Make a roller out of piece of the
wood four inches square and one foot
longer than the trough or body of work
er. A very good length for a medium
sized dairy would be thirty inches for
the body part and four inches for the
roller. Cut with fine tooth saw one
inch deep on each side Of the stick
at point twelve inches from one end.
This extra twelve inches is for a ham
die and should be dressed down round
and smooth to about two inches, so
that it is easy to grasp by the operator.
The remaining three feet must be made
tapering, the small end (that opposite
the handle) being not more than an
inch in diameter. Dress the wood
square, then cut off the four corners to
make it octagon in shape.
In the narrow end of the trough
drive an ordinary iron staple and in
the small end Of the roller short,
heavy cut iron nail-not a wire nail,
which would be likely to bend. The
nail should project about an inch. This
fits into the staple, holding the roller
in place, and completes about as effec-
tive a butter worker as any one need
ask for.

The whole stanchion, including bolts,

r.. Parentage Valuable.
O Cows, like men, are good or bad
ofttimes because of their environment.
bringing up and education. We look
for and expect men to be good if
brought up in good, religious families
and communities. I have often heard
it said, "Give me the first six years
of child's life, and l will tell you
with a great deal of certainty what
the future of that child's life will be-"
So I believe that the conditions under
which an animal is reared determine in
q large measure her future usefulness
or uselessness, says a writer In KIM
balls Dairy Farmer. AS with men,
the parentage is Of great value, and
we look for and have good reason to
expect COWS to be better cows from a
long line of productive ancestry. This,
then, is the stepping stone in the de-
veloping Of dairy COW.
The Good Bull.
Authorities say that daughters take
after their fathers and sons after their
mothers in predominant character
istics This is true Of all animal life.
If a bulls lineage can be traced
through a line of remarkable mixers
his value will be enhanced. He will
transmit the qualities Of his dam to his
offspring It often happens that the
farmer VITO buys cows with the idea
of raising heifers is disappointed. He
is impatient He cannot wait for the
second generation. He thinks his cows
are improbable because their heifers
are not as good as he had hoped they
would be- It usually takes at least
two generations to get herd into good
working condition. You cant do it In
a minute. Don't get hasty, but keep
the facts in mind and work toward
definite purpose. Above all, use good
sire. You need good cows. That is
plain. And you need good sire to get
good cows. That isn't as plain as 1t
ought to be. By good bull we mean
one whose maternal blood stands for
milking qualities and performance.
