Cost of Making Milk.

A Canadian milk producer figures the
cost Of production as follows: Taking Is
cows as unit that one man is capable
Of taking care OF. as we'll as the product
therefrom. and assuming that the man is
worth $1.50 day. we must charge up 10
cents a day against each COW for labor
Assuming that each COW averages 5000
pounds of milk a year, which is about
six quarts day, such COW should receive
one pound of grain for each three pounCs
Of milk She gives, which would be about
five pounds Of grain a day The cost Of
the grain would be 81 cents a day. Add
ing u pounds of hay. worth $l4 a ton. we
have an item OF S4 cents for hay To
this we add 3i4 cents for silage and 10
per cent interest on the COW apd depre-
citation Of value from $50 which is lS
cents a day. To this. adding per cent
interest on 500 for stabling room for
each COW. We have about II cents. max
ing a total OF 31.4 cents for the produc-
ton OF six quarts Of milk. OF little over
cents quart. Adding TO this the
cost before mentioned. OF producing a
specially pure, clean milk. we have a to-
tai of at least cents a quart as the cost
OF its production on the farm To this
should be added the cost OF shipping to
the city, which is an additional burden 20

II is not often that We hear Of a ghost

an instance, and it seems 10 be tolerably
well authenticated. and materialists will
hardly know how 10 account for il. Here
is the story. II is OF the Yorkshire Dales,
and az a good many years ago. A clergy
man, whose duty lay in that wild coun-
try Cwhere a strong race OF men and wo-
men lived principally on gacon and oat-
cake. and knew not. save rarely. butch
ers neat. used 20 ride or walk to visit
his people. He had been raising a sub
scription in n time OF scarcity. and had
90 be out late az night. One evening on
his outward journey he suddenly became
aware OF q figure moving beside him. and
In the cleaning be recognized his brother
who had died some time before He was
too awestruck for words. and after keep
ing by his side for some distance oE.-r the
lonely moor the figure disappeared. He
noted the time ana the vision. but nothing
occurred 20 throw any light upon il
However, some years 2rIer he had taken
the duty of a Jail IN another part of the
country. one OF the prisoners lying under
sentence desired 70 make a confession.
After telling him a lot OF crimes, he said:
I wor very near once taking your life.
sir IL was in that bad year and / heerd
as how YOU went carrying money about
in those lonesome dales. I hid behind the
big boulders of the brown moor. / saw
you coming up and waited till you should
be near enough, but that night YOU were
not alone This is a startling tale. and
the stronger because the vision. or what
ever It was, was seen by two people. The
anecdote occurs in an article nearly twen-
