far the most valuable You should
wear tidy and clean clothes. Have the
pail clean as well as the creamery can.
Thoroughly clean the udder by rubbing
with a piece Of linen. Wash the hands
thoroughly before milking. Let the
udder be quito dry before You begin 20
milk.
MIX with dry hands. Seize the teats
with the whole hand. Keep gentle
pressure on tho udder. MIX as fast as

Dems vsiusbIs Pointa On Building w y
Dairy Herd.

u0F1s Valuable Potrta On Building ~ y
Dairy Herd.
The dual purpose COW does not exist.
All progressive farming OF later days
makes the dividing line all the more
distinct between the beef and dairy
breeds. The farmer has not yet been
found who can produce herd Of cat
tle that shall lead In both dairy and
beef products at the same time. as
sumo that we are aiming to have the
best dairy herds and make as much
money ~ we can.
First let me insist that every dairy
man shall select the dairy breed that
suits him best, taking into considers
tion, among other things, climate, food
he Ii prepared to furnish. kind Of barn
be has, market for his milk and his
personal taste. Decide and act prompt
~ In the matter
@p Oct Good Sire
Next purchase a pair or trio, and
with them lay the foundation Of pure
bred herd. X expense makes this inn
practicable, purchase registered sire
and get a calf from a COW with good
record Of production. Get tho best
possible sire Of the breed chosen, as be
Ii half the herd.
The next step IN grading UP q herd
ID to be sure not to inbreed. When
you have hcifers old enough TO breed.
purchase for them another sire.
when the third. fourth or fifth grade
has been reached, you will have prof
liable herd. which, while 1t cannot be
registered. will show splendid results.
Another step-do not breed any heif-
or until sine is nearly Or quite two
years old. Breeding heifers too young
II the leading cause Of every III bovine
fesh ~ heir TO. and the balance may
be charged to inbreeding.
Food and Care.
Fool and care bestowed upon herd
form an important part In this up-
building Of the herd, Cruelty and pro-
family may largely counteract the ef-
feet Of a proper amount OF protein, az
unbalanced temper spoil the result OF q
balaicel ration. and comfortable quar-
tiers are needed rs much as proper
food
Pour and Improbable cows Should be
picked out and disposed OF. the safest
process being TO weigh the milk and
test for butter fat One thing more
we must look well to the health OF the
herd. We can buy healthy cattle and
largely keep them so II we will supply
pure afr and sunshine as well AZ food
and water.
Success IN building up dairy herd
will depend largely upon the love and
interest you put into the work. com

Milkinn the Cow.

H. G. Van Pelt. man Of wide dairy

Of the mixer, greatly depend the guam

was no use in trying to read any more

TO the time when she had had such a
Little Boy Blue as that. Since then
she had had lots of other children.
Even now, as she sat there in the twi-
light, she could hear the shouts of her
grandchildren at play not far away,
but little Geordie had been her first
born, and somehow the others were
different, and nobody knew just how
but herself. She had daughters to
console her in her widowhood, and
when her married daughter had died,
her children had been left. But with
little Geordie it was different. They

Do not worry. eat three square meals
a day. say your prayers, be courteous
to your creditors, keep your digestion

there are other things that your spe-

but, my friend. these reckon will give
you a good lift.-Abraham Lincoln.

The day returns and brings us the
petty round Of irritating concerns and
duties. Helps us to play the man.
help us TO perform them with laughter.
and kind faces, let cheerfuIness abound
with industry. Give US to go blithely
on our business all this day, bring us
to our resting beds weary and content
and undiscovered. and grant US in the
end the gift of sleep.-Robert Louis

SHORT 80 CENTS FOB THIRTY
FOUR YEARS

For thirty-four years the accounts OF
the naval port Of Toulon refused To
balance. There was 80 cents too much
in the cash books, and ever since 1873
this 80 cents has puzzled the official ac-
countants. Some time ago orders were
sent from Paris that this state Of at
fairs must cease. Seven special ac-
countants were set to work. and after
seven months hard labor the problem
was solved. Admiral Gallihet--a form
er minister Of marine, who was thirty
four years ago one of the officers of
Toulon arsenal, but who for many
years has been living in Paris on his
pension-has just received official not
ice asking him 10 call at the ministry
of finance and draw the sum Of 80
cents. He was underpaid by this
amount when he left Toulon in 1873.

DO DOGS KNOW coLoRs?

The question. Can a dog distinguish
colors? was the subject of an article in
a recent issue of the Zentralblatt fur
Physiologie. A series of experiments
demonstrated the fact that dogs could,
through training. learn to distinguish
c6iors The writer says: I'VE trained
dogs TO fetch and carry an object of a
certain color. and then placed one like
IL in every detail in a group of similar
ly formed objects. but differing in color
from white TO black. In most instances
the dog picked the right color. We
found. however. that the darker shades
puzzled them and they made many
mistakes. We are convinced that dogs
can distinguish colOrs. but not all of
them, and their sense in that direction
is limited to what we know as light
shades"

a successful experiment in pipe thaw-

residence on High Street became frozen

On account of the inclement weather
no meeting of the Canaan Board of
Trade was held last Saturday evening
and adjournment was taken to Saturday
evening of this week. 1t is hoped it
will be rouser in point of attendance
and interest Live local topics will be
discussed including fire protection,
library, boys club etc. Everyone is in
vited to attend and state his views on
the various subjects under discussion.
Canned Wind. -.
Henry H. Scutt is now in his new
location, the Garfield Inn barber shop.
and it is one Of the most pleasant, most
completely equipped shops in Litohfeld
County. The furnishings are all modern,
one new wrinkle being the canned wind
which rushes out through rubber tubes
and dries the physiognomies of the
patrons after the operation of amputat-
ing the hirsute appendages. The wind
is canned by means Of vest pocket
edition of an electric motor which forces
the wind into the gold (?) plated can in
the corner of the shop. Other modern
appliances such as electric fans, etc. will
be introduced later. .
