HOW RECORDS HELP.
Farmer Can More IntelIisentIy Deter
mine From Which Cows to Breed.

If dairy farmer has at his COM
nand carefully kept statistics con.
corning the yields of his cows, he is
In much better position to decide
from which cows it is advisable that
he should rear than the farmer who
has not that definite information at
hand. For, assuming that heifer-
calf is brought up in an orthodox man
ner, two factors control its eventual
usefulness as dairy COW, namely.
the quantity and the quality of the
milk produced by its ancestors. The
fact that good Quantity mixer is
but rarely bred from poor mixer,
and that heavy milking dam is like
ty to produce a good milking off
spring, has long been realized, but the
fact that poor quality producing
COW invariably impresses upon her
progeny the same failing is point
chat is often overlooked. The truth
of both these rules cannot be too
strongly emphasized. They hold true,
not only direct from female to female,
but also from female through male to
female. There are quite as many rea-
sons why record of quality should be
kept, as there are for the keeping of
records OF quantity, and there is every
reason for keeping both.

THE (AAY
A CONCRETE MILK HOUSE.
Any Farmer May Make One at Small
Expense.

A house for keeping milk cool in the
summer and storing fruit and veget-
ables in the winter may be construct
ed out of concrete from floor to roof.
A man In a little Missouri town built
one In the following manner, says the
Kansas City Star An excavation was
made in the ground four feet deep the
desired length and breadth Of the
building. Two posts were then set in
the ground at each corner. leaving a
space between them the thickness OF
the walls. Inch boards foot wide
were placed on the inside OF these
posts next the ground. The first lay
er of concrete which was made from
cement and tolerably coarse gravel
was put between them. After this
was finished another round of boards
was put just above the first ones and
these were filled between with con-
crete also. Then another course OF
concrete was put above this and so on
until the desired height was reached.
AS the concrete hardened the boards
were removed The door frame was
set between the boards in one end Of
the building when the walls had been
built up to level with the top of the
ground, and it was made secure by

WOULD GATHER THEM ALL IN,
Minister'S Methods Likely to Attract
Large censresat

A resident of Hudson, Wis, was de-
ploring tho resignation of Senator
Spooner.
THE senate can't afford to lose a
mind like that" he said. II know the
man well. He practiced law in this
town for Is years or thereabouts. He
won every case he set his hand to.
1T was no surprise to us Hudsonites
to find that John c. Spooner was the
finest legal mind in the senate. When
he had a case on. we used to 70 in
droves to hear him plead.
Il remember to this day . story
that he once told in court in a case
where he was showing how. with =
good motive, one might still do a lot
Of harm.
He said that two aged Scotch min
listers sat talking one day over their
church warden pipes.

of the two old men, only three folk

roof was made an oval shape by semi
circle rafters, the ends of which rest
ed on the top of the side walls. After
being covered over with boards lay
er of concrete was spread on. leaving
place for cement chimney at the
center of the roof. The rafters and
sheeting were left to give strength to
The concrete. The floor was also made
of cement and inclined slightly toward
one corner where an eight-gallon jar
had been sunk. into which any water
might drain. The doors of the house
were made double. one opening in
ward and the other outward. When
shut they kept out the heat in sum-
mer and the cold in the winter.

Laundry work at home would DO
much more satisfactory il the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of it's great

Tonic for the Nerves.
Why are nervous people invariably
pale people?
The answer to that question explains
why . remedy that acts on the blood
can cure nervous troubles.
It explains why DR.. Williams Pinh
Pills for Pale People are also for nervous
people.
It is because Of the intimate relation
between the red corpuscles in the blood
and the health of the nerves. The
nervous system receives its nourishment
through tho blood. Let the blood b.
come thin, weak and colorless and the
nerves are starved-the victim is started
on the road that leads to nervous wreck.
Nervous people are pale people-but the
pallor comes first. Enrich the blood
and the nerves are stimulated and toned
up to do their part of tho work of the
body. DR.. Williams Pink Pills make
red blood and transform nervous, irrit.
able, ailing people into strong, energetic,
forceful men and women.

Senator MORGAN a Model.

Senator John T. Morgan. of Ala
bama occasionally writes magazine
articles which involve a great deal Of
research, but he uniformly refuses to
accept pay for them. In the course
of his career many railroad passes
have been offered him, but he never
accepted any either for himself or any
member of his family. Though over
so years old, he thinks nothing Of
working half the night. The sena-
tor never haunts the departments
looking for jobs for constituents. OF
moderate means when he entered the
senate, he is now poor man. having
little or nothing but his salary.

The Lost "Peg-Les"

The "Pegleg" is one of the best authenticated of all the lost mines. It has been located four or five times during the past seventy five years, and it's wherea bouts is pretty we'll known to within a radius of 100 miles. But 1t is in the midst of the most Godforsaken desert on the face of the earth, and few peo- ple who have ever seen it have been able to go back. Those who did were always killed in one way or another without revealing their secret, and the PegLeg still re- mains lost to the world at large.
 If any one wants to look for it he is welcome to the following directions: It lays somewhere off the Los Angeles trail, between Los Angeles and Yuma. It is a dry placer. located on the highest of one of the neighboring peaks, pre- sumably not far from the turmoil to Warmers Pass. The gold is on the surface and is of peculiar appearance, darker than most placer nuggets, and known among the mining men of the west as sun burnt gold. There are specimens of it in a number of mining museums. And anyone who can find it and get aut again alive has his fortune made.
