The owners of cows in general are
afraid of high prices for high class
COWS. The average farmer and dairy
man holds the idea that he can afford
to own only average" COWS. He fig
ures out somehow that he must judge
cows value not from what she really
can earn, but from the amount Of
money he thinks he can afford to pay
for her. 1t has been repeated over and
over that the milk producer cannot af-
ford one kind of COW and that one the
small yield cow Along with this it
has been repeated that the producer
can 'afford" the high yield COW at any
price within her earning capacity as a
yielder of milk and butter. A dairy
cow is worth just what she will pro-
duce for her owner.
At the present price of butter the
COW making 325 pounds of butter is
worth $50, the COW that makes 375
pounds of butter is worth $40, and the
COW that makes 400 pounds of butter
Us worth $50
These figures and valuations are ex-
Actly in accordance with the teachings

pets is that of bird funerals. Children
who have lost their canaries or other
songsters through disease or accident
bring the little cadavers there to be
laid out in becoming style.
Tiny coffins just large enough for a
bird are kept in stock; also quantities
of pale pink and blue cotton. The lat

and on it the bird is laid. The effect
when brides remains are "decentIy''

excellent sufficiently so to console the

Summer Comfort For Calves.

Calves will do better if kept in clean,
airy box stalls during the summer
than if allowed to run out and fight
flies in the hot sun. They should be
given a drink of water at noon and
should have access to salt at will.
They should also have some grass or
green oats cut and given them every
day. They should not be given very
much at a time, not more than they
will eat up clean before the next time
of feeding.

Ice House For Dairy Farm.

An ice house is a convenient and val
uable adjunct to any dairy farm. This
building can be constructed very cheap
ly either separate from or in connection
with the dairy house. The capacity
should be ample to hold an abundance
of ice for dairy and household pur-
poses during the season. Many dairy
men would construct such a building if
they knew how to do it with as little
outlay as possible. The dairy division
proposes to give assistance by suggest
Ing specifications for dairy and ice
houses to persons who make applica-
tion. Correspondence bearing on this
subject should be addressed to the

CALL FOR PAVED ROADWAYS
Landowner willing to Pay 81 an
Acre For the Improvement.

Landowner willing to Pay 81 an
Acre For the Improvement.
'T would tax myself 81 an acre If my
neighbors would join me for the pur-
pose of paving the road with brick"
said William Jackson, farmer living
on Spring Hill road in Chillicothe, Mo.
His suggestion was taken up, and he
found others even more liberal than
himself, says the st. Louis Post-Dis-
patch. Among these is ]. T. Jackson,
who lives on Trenton road. When
Jackson heard Of the plan he said un-
hesitatingly:
"Why, l would give 50 per acre to
pave Trenton road, and 1 believe there
are others who would do the same.
know one other farmer on the road
who would do it. The money collected
this way would be enough to pave the
road with brick and ebert rock. OF
course ebert rock is cheaper. The road
need not be wider than sixteen and a
half feet, and it could be put up for
$4,000 a mile, l think"
Jackson is actively trying to get the
opinions of his neighbors, and he thinks
with them he will start to raise fund
for paving the road.

Perfumes.

Perfumes have been used from the
earliest times. The burning of per-
fumed incense was one of the rites of
the Hebrew and pagan religions, and
perfumes of various sorts were used
by nearly all the nations of antiquity.
Both the Romans and the Greeks were
skilled in making perfumery. 1t was
from the Arabs, who possessed the art
of preparing perfumed waters, that the
use of perfumes was introduced into
medieval Europe.

EChampion pure bred Jersey COW in
classes A and B, worlds fair dairy dem
onstraton, st. Lous. 1904. Record for 100
days, 5,S02.7 pounds milk, As per cent
fat, 330.03 pounds estimated butter.1
milk producer should study them, size
mp his herd by them and thus work out
the problem that meets him face to
face.
The question may come up, What is
the first step I must take to put my
herd on a paying basis? Every dairy
man and farmer can better afford to
pay $500 a head for the cows that
average 700 pounds Of butter per year,
provided he can find such cows, than
he can afford to pay $15 or $50 a
head for cows that average only 100 to
200 per year. This calculation ought
to make every farmer hesitate before
he pays $50 to $40 a head for cows
that range below 800 pounds of butter
per year, as many farmers have been
doing the past year. The average
COW is a loser of money to every dairy
man and farmer. The testing and an
alyzing of milk at the present time are
so easy and simple that any ordinary
farnser with little practice can tell
In a few minutes just what his cows
are capable of doing at the end of ev-
cry month, and every COW that falls
below the 300 pound mark is not
worth her feed and keeping to her
owner and should be turned into beef.

HOW DOCTORS CAN HELP.
Practical Suggestions For Securing
Good Roads.


Good Roads.
In an article recently in the Auto
Advocate, DR.. H. II. st. John of Edna,
Mo-, told how physicians might help
secure good roads as follows:
IF any one man on the face of this
earth knows how to appreciate a good
road it is the physician. Except it
might be fireman on the call of duty
In the suburbs of some town or city
none can appreciate better than he or
she who has a life to save the ines
Unable advantage of good road, par
ticularly when compelled to drive over
1t at night. What then can the physi-
clan do to assist in the promotion
thereof?
''There are at least three practical
ways or suggestions offering them
selves-viz, one is the education of the
people, the showing to the practical ev-
eryday taxpaying farmer that good
roads are good investments and pay
over 800 per cent on the net cost.
Educate them, show them the aw-
full waste, the actual loss of money ev-
cry time they haul a load or empty
wagon over poor road, the wear and
tear on their buggies, wagons or carts;
show them that the cost of building
good road is but little greater than that
of keeping up little dirt in the cen
ter and that a road once well built is
easy to repair and is a good road for
many years. What roads have ever
superseded those in Great Britain,
many of which are in existence yet
but all of which owe their frmness,
solidity and durability today to the old
foundations built by the Romans CEN
turies ago when Britain was nothing
but dense forests, plains and ever
glades?
"Who, then, better than the physi-
clan, who has the entree into our
homes and is imbued with all the free
dom and privilege of an exclusive
member Of every family he visits, who
has better right or is better capable
of doing right loyal part in the fight
for good roads? He is revered, re-
spected, looked up to, and his views
are accepted with a degree of positive
ness and assurance bred In the minds
of his hearers by his calling and his
higher education.
"Secondly, let every physician who
owns or controls section of roadway
along his property set the example Of
building and maintaining a good road.
Then his teaching will have effect
among his hearers, his efforts in try
ing to establish county and state good
road funds, uniformity Of road build
ing, etc, will have weight and effect.
"Thirdly, let physicians as a class, a
special class, express their willingness
to sumbit in the cause of humanity to
a special nominal tax per annum to a
state fund apart from whatever other
ordinary taxes they in common with
others have to meet, said tax to be
known and recognized as "the ply
sicians' own good road subscription"
and it will become before long such a
source of pride and glorification of ply
sicians as a class that not only will it
react as a special lever to their teach
ing qualities, but other professions and
classes, like sheep following leader,
will be anxious to emulate them and
from sense of pride to see who can
furnish the largest pro rata per an
mum in the state. Then will come the
golden days of good roads in earnest"

TONICS.
Two Edged Swords Capable of Mis-
chief ns Well as Reneft


There is perhaps no class of remedial
agents more abused than tonics. The
abuse consists both in the excessive
use and the misapplication Of this class
of agents, which within a restricted
field possess an indisputable and i'm
portant therapeutic value. The misuse
of tonics is doubtless the outgrowth
of q misconception of the real nature of
this class of remedial agents and its
limitations. Many physicians also seem
to lose sight of the fact that tonics are,
as has been said of drugs in general,
two edged swords which are as capable
of mischief as of benefit Indeed, when
the true nature Of tonics-as is true, in
fact, of most medicinal agents-iS thor
oughly understood, 1t Is apparent that
even In cases In which they accomplish
the maximum Of benefit there is also
a certain amount of injury inflicted
upon the organism, so that the effect
obtained is really and simply the differ
ence between the mischief done and the
good accomplished. If the difference
is on one side, the total result Is benefit;
If on the other side. the result is harm.
This principle holds good with regard
to most remedies, whether the means
employed is a drug or a nonmedicinal
agent.
The popular idea of tonic is we'll
expressed in the following definition,
which we find in the National Medical
Dictionary: IAN agent which augments
gradually and permanently the strength
and vital activity Of the body or it's
parts" A stimulant Is defined by the
same authority as being IAN agent
which Increases the functional activity
of any organ or series Of organs" The
distinction made seems to be that a
stmulant produces temporary excite
ment, whereas tonic produces a per
manent Increase Of strength and vital
activity Health.

KimbalIs Dairy Farmer tells that a

of the cheese factory are urged to send
