Her fondness for having a good time is all right, provided that in
dulgent parents do not allow it to be carried too far. just now her main
object in life is to get an education, and those in charge of her should
see that nothing is permitted to interfere with her obtaining it.
Whatever of little designations there may be should be confined to
Friday and Saturday nights, so that you can make up for lost sleep
the next morning.
If you have callers, they should not be permitted to stay after half
past ten. If they do not 60 home at this time and if you re too shy
to ask them to 60 and as a consequence father Or mother does it for
you, do not be so foolish Is to get angry and consider that your caller
has been insulted. Your parents know that a girl going to school needs
all the sleep she can get, and if the young fellow is a gentleman, he
will look upon the rebuke in the spirit in which it was given.
In your thirst for a good time do not think to ape your older sister
by having a Irritation and a beau. Nothing is more silly in a girl of
your age and nothing more likely to be productive of disastrous conse-
quences.
No girl going to school is capable of knowing enough about men to
exercise sufficient judgment in choosing a husband. When she gets out of
school she will have plenty of time to look around her a bit, and then,
when she has reached a mature age, to choose.
In the meantime do not take it i'll of father if he insists that the
boys may come only on Friday and Saturday nights and that the other
nights you must devote yourself to your studies and be in bed before
ten o'clock.

who have contributed towards the prosperity of a business have the same
right as myself to live a pleasant life in pleasant surroundings.
l can look any of my workmen in the face and say, 81 have never
patronized you and l never intend doing So" and any of them can look
me in the face and say, 81 never received pay from you that l had not
fully earned. And that is all l want" Believe me when l say that the
strongest bond which can unite employer and employed is the common
interest which they all take in the common enterprise.
Remember, selfinterest is the rule of life, and especially of COM
mercial life. But there are two kinds of self-nterest. Selfish seEf-n-
terest, which takes care of only number one, and that broad, intelligent
seE-interest, which seeks to find the interests of self by regarding the
welfare and interests OF Others. Now, l endeavor always to keep in
mind the welfare of my employees. They in turn look after my interests
Selhshness never really pays either the employer or the workman.
And again, l encourage intelligent interest in the working of this great
concern on the part of my workmen. For instance, we have a regular
Suggestion" bureau here, if 1 may SO term il, by which any workman
who mvents and patents a mechanical improvement, which many of
them do, especially in the direction of life and limb saving contrivances
in the midst of all this very dangerous machinery, shall be directly bene-
flied.
AS far as possible l give my $500 employees chances and opporuni-
ties for raising and benefting themselves whilst they work together for
the good of the whole concern.
Wages are raised, hours are lessened, the article is produced better
and cheaper by the labor-saving machine, and a highclass machine
necessitates the employment of the best workmen possible to manipulate
it. Another remarkable fact is that every rise in wages and shortening
of hours is followed by a reduction in the cost of labor and the cost of
the article produced, and that reduction results in a bigger margin of
profit for the employer.

WHAT MILK COSTS.
Result Of Tests by the Cornell uni.
versity Experiment Station.

In a years observation and record
keeping with the dairy cows, their
feed, etc., Cornell university finds the
cost Of producing milk as follows:
1st. With a fairly good herd, care
fully fed and kept, milk can be pro-
duced for 65 cents a hundred pounds,
and fat for 16 cents a pound for the
lost of the food consumed.
I'd. That individuals of the same
breed vary more widely in milk and
butter production than do the breeds
themselves.
Sd. The large animals consumed
less pounds of dry material per 1000
pounds live weight a day than did the
smaller animals.
4th. That in general the best yields
of fat were obtained from COWS that
gave at least a fairly large flow of
milk.
9Th. In general, the cows consum-
ing the most food produced both milk
and fat at the lowest rate.
9Th. For the production of milk
and fat there is no food as cheap as
good pasture grass.

that there is no profit In raising the
steers from those cows. Is 1t not bet

that can do two things at a loss? And,

EFT.
An Ailment Of Cows at caIving Time
and How to Treat It.

Garget or caked udder Is quite a
common trouble which occurs usually
just before or just after calving. The
udder becomes hard and the glands
are enlarged and feverish. There are
usually no bad consequences from the
trouble unless 1t Is neglected. 1t Is
caused by a large supply of milk re.
naming in the udder and is some
times aggravated by n~eglecting to
milk out or by the COW standing in a
draft of cold air. In cases of this
kind 1t is not well to milk the COW
out clean as the irritation caused by
milking makes matters worse. The
best procedure is to only partially
empty the uader and then reduce the
Inflammation with a fermentation Of
warm water. The mere sucking of a
hungry calf and the working Of the
teats will sometimes help. 1t is also
well to rub the affected parts we'll

many nights a week as
she can manage to get
invited, and of having as
great a number of callers
as she possibly can.
