Really. Harry. on second thought,
believe that you had better write
this act. You have such a vivid i'm
agination. you know"
DO you think so?" I ask. well,
then. how's this? As the machine is
hopelessly out Of order, to avoid a
scandal he suggests that they hunt up
a minister and get married."
Which suggestion she emphatically
declines to agree to" Betty breaks in.
Why" ! query with assumed inno-
cence.
The reason is made known in the
last act" she replies with irritating
eyasiveness, but to continue. While
they are plunged in despair life-sav-
ing countryman, seated in a rickety
farm wagon makes his appearance
and takes them in tow. In this man
ner they reach the city and the act
closes"
Rather weak, don't you think?" !
ask in disappointment.
"Oh, I don't know. The last act is
the strong one.
The action takes place in the
heroine's home and the setting is iden-
teal with these rooms. The hero
after a months absence has called
on her for the first time. He is very
moody and as the conversation is far
from animated, suggests that they
write play"
At this moment the doorbell rings
and the maid enters. She announces:
Mr.. and Mrs. Philip Armstrong"
At this announcement, start in sur
prise, then angrily cry:
What that chap calling on you?
And he married. too. The nerve OF
him"
Why, yes, he was even married
when we took our automobile ride to-
gether," Betty laughs: that was one
reason that we couldn't marry after
the accident"
'one reason? Then. what. pray
was the other?"
He was already my brother-in-
law"
Gee whizl what chump / am"
humbly acknowledge.
Il think SO. too." the unfeeling girl
tells me.
"Can you ever forgive a silly-nilly
like me?"
IF you coax hard enough, maybe"
Betty relents.
Then suppose you let me into this
family affair" | suggest.
What do you mean?"
Suppose you give me the right to
call him brotaer-inlaw as well as
yourself"
DO you think that you deserve itg"
she asks.
Well, that's the way all good plays
should end" l explain.
Then for the sake of our play,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Armstrong
at this moment surprise two
very red-faced youngsters fondly EN-
bracing.

THE YOUNG COW.
Judgment as to Her Value as : Mixer
Should Not Be Passed Too Early.

The young COW is an unknown guam
dty. No man living can tell the first
year whether a COW is worth little or
much. Some Of the cows that have
produced such small quantities Of milk
and butter fat that their owners have
thought it wise to sell them have in
later years developed into remarkable
mixers This fact is not only known
to individual farmers, but has been
demonstrated al our experiment sta
tons. At the Michigan station one
young COW that was very small pro-
1ucer Of milk and butter fat, and had
more OF the beef form than the dairy
form, IN subsequent years greatly
changed her characteristics. AS she
grew older the beef form largely dis
appeared, and her form took on the
wedge-shape peculiar to the dairy
COW. She became a producer Of milk
in such immense quantities and OF
such richness that she obtained ma
tional reputation. 4
In the early days OF the Babcock
test, many farmers disposed of Young
cows on the presumption that the test
the first year had shown about what
the COWS would do in subsequent
years. II was not long, however, be-
fore the professors OF dairying and
dairy experts everywhere began to
advise the farmers against the prac-
.ice. The young COW, il poorly fed.

practice is followed of giving her only
Try forage in winter and nothing but
pasture grass in summer, it is doubt
full If she will develop her full capac-
lty for milk giving before she is seven
or eight years of age. If, however.
she is fed good ration and one in ac
eordance with the best scientific
methods. she will develop about her
full capacity by the time she is four
or five years of age. It will take about
three years of milking. says the Farm
ers' Review. to show what she is
worth in any case Our advice con.
cerning the young COW is to give hep
bountiful supply Of feed. balancing
up the concentrated foods with large

or silage. so that she will not overeat.

clent proportion. Danger only comes
when she is allowed 70 eat a quantity
of concentrated foods, or when she is
given an unlimited quantity Of green
alfalfa. which is excessively rich in
nitrogen.
