individuality in Cows.

We do not think that many dairy
men have ever given the idea that
cows were not all alike in their tastes,
even passing thought. AS stated in an
item, from Successful Farming, they
go on and feed all in the same way
on exactly the same rations There
is chance for improvement
Everyone knows that one COW will
give greater amount of milk than an
other on the same feed But a great
many do not seem to realize that the
same difference exists in their capacity
for eating, their taste for different
feeds, their behavior, etc.
AS much difference exists between
cows in every respect as between peo-
pie. But what do you do? Feed and

Some cows like bran better than
others and make use of more of it.
Some do not like rape, some refuse

Some behave quietly at all times, some

Some will sulk if they cannot do as
they wish. Some act crazy when a

calves by their peculiar ways, if you
know the cows. The point is this, it

across the river, have supper at the
hotel, and come home by moonlight?
Grandma and Aunt Martha will be
glad to have us out of the way so they
can finish their preparations for to-
morrow, and we will have a jolly good
time

Some of our number could not skate,
so we, who were skaters, got sleds and
drew the rest.

was time to start for home.
at happened on our return journey
that my cousin Richard, who was the
best skater in the party, and 1 were
side by side in front; behind us was
row of skaters hand in hand, every
other one having a sled in tow.
''We had not gone very far before,

that the ice was bending in front of
us. 1 looked again, straining my eyes
and trying to think that 1 was mistak-

Il looked at Richard. L could not
have spoken to save my life, my
tongue seemed to cleave to the roof of
my mouth, and | felt the perspiratiOn
coming out on my forehead in big
drops.
II thought of everything in those
few terrible seconds. Like a flash it
went through my mind that we might
possibly get through in safety if we
could only keep in motion as we were;
but if the rest suspected our danger
and there was a panic-thOSe on the
sleds at least would probably be

clear and natural.

the line somewhere Ah, here's our
distinguished friend at last!'
After some stumbling on the stairs,
Croydon and Portsmouth brought in
their prisoner. HE would rather not
have come" they explained, ''but we
made him."
He certainly looked unwilling, though
his line of defense took us entirely by
surprise His daughter had, of course,
told him what fool he made of him
self, and he was not unprepared
"Own up, old chap!' cried the YER
nacular Canadian, in high glee, not
giving Mr.. Smithers time to take the
lead that was his due. 1.-The games

there nine months. But he continued,
triumphantly, Il am his hair! L execute
him! 1 what you call assign him.
"Can you prove this?" asked the
chance Of things being true
''Ze testamentO is in Caracas" said
the Don with a slight shrug of the
shoulders, as if a bit of paper was Of
no consequence compared with the
word of a hidalgO.
''Then you had better go and fetch
it, said Mr. Smithers. Bring it here
some day; there's no hurry, you know.

promptly. He had an answer for
everything; but nevertheless, he left
the office that morning rather crestfal
len, and up to the time of my writ
ing this we have not heard from him
again; doubtless, knowing his weak
point now, he is forging a testamentO
somewhere. This is also the solicitors
opinion. 1t is a singular thing" said
Mr. Smithers, but the fellows second

thought, is ever SO much stronger

successfully than any of you. Depend
on 1t, we shall hear from him again.
Not that he will get the money. L dare
say nobody ever will.''
Meanwhile, we have heard, through
the consulate, that Don Enrico, of the
Hacienda del Sol the true heir, is dead
enough, though they doubt whether he
is with saints, he having been a ran
cherO of Indifferent repute in the mat
ter of cattle stealing. MOntero must
have been in his confidence somehow;
he may have patronized the Boarding
House" in the Gale Christopher, and
our Don may have secured his papers
at his death. The new heir, for whom
we all entertain a high regard, Farm
er John Parting, of Ashby, owing to
the laws well known delays, has not
got the money yet, and may not get it
while he lives. But he has paid Mr..
