churns. etc. You must allow at least $500 for these things
 Not on your life, Not if I know how to cipher. Why. you must take me for the biggest fool in th<fstate.'
 You can submit my figures to any one you will. You have estimated your Income altogether too high. The cows will give much less milk in the winter. Some of them may be alling or die. The price of hay may go up Instead of S125 per week, you should figure on S75. Out of this. even after you get started, must come the expenses of feed. help and the keep of your team. You will have to turn in and work yourself. and if there is any 'Bowser's Best butter made you will have to al- low me an extra girl in the house. Dou't bob around on your chair now, but figure as business man."
 Figures Encourage Bowser.
 Don't tell me that 1 am bobbing around- shouted Mir Bowser. so loud ly that he was heard in the next house. One would think you were talking to an infant. say you are wrong from beginning to end. tell you there's at least 5000 a year clean profit in this thing for me. but of course you want to knock 1t in the head if you can. By thunder, what jackass am ever to sit down and talk to you about busi- ness.'
 "I don't think you have lost anything by it." quietly replied Mrs. Bowser. However. If you think I am wrong, please show me where. Can you buy cows for less than Si0 apiece? Haven't you got to have q barn? Haven't you got to have help? Haven't you got to have feed? Tell me where my figures are too high"
 Whats the use? You don't want to be convinced, and you won't be. I am offered the opportunity of my life, and you stand in the way and try to make me out an idiot"
 .You are hardly fair with me, Mr. Bowser. If you will show me where am wrong in my figures I'll cheerfully start dairy farm with you.'
 'I'll bring you figures from a man who has run a dairy farm himself and made S10,00O a year at it I'll even bring the man himself"
 A minute later MT. Bowser was out of the house and on his way to the family butchers. He had often heard that the butcher was formerly dairy farmer, and that his sole object in sell ing out and moving into town was to educate his son in telling the difference between a knockkneed horse and a comic opera He found the butcher smoking his pipe and meditating, and he began:
 MT. Bones. didn't you used to run 8 dairy farm somewhere:"
 'I think so." was the cautious an swer
 And you made S10,O00 q year?'
 'T have been charged with so doing" "Well, now, knowing me as you do, what would you advise in my case? can trade my house and lot for dairy farm"
 How many acres"
 Eighty
 "How many cows?"
 "As many as want to buy. thought of starting with thirty" Flows the COW barn." There isn't any"
 What's your experience?"
 Haven't had any"
 Butcher Discourages Plan. "Mr. Bowser," said the butcher, as he rose up and got behind the meat block, Ego into the business of raising 1 jackasses. You have had experience and can't help but make a success" There would have been row had not couple of women customers come in. Mir. Bowser was forced to post pone the bloodlettIng to another time. and he went out and wandered up and down the street with bent head and back bumped up. His dairy had soured on him. His .Bowser's Best' would never be on the market. He would never rub the backs of cows or fondle their calves. And men and women who took notice of him whispered to each other:
