The Three Profits.
"A good dairy COW should produce
annually 5000 pounds OF 4 per cent
mllks. This Is not high standard.
In New York there are many dairy
herds in which the cows average T.
900 to 5000 pounds OF milk annual
ly, Individual COWS have yielded as
high as 10000, 10000 and even 49,
900 pounds OF milk annually.
THE COW should yield 500 pounds
OF cream, or 200 pounds Of butter
fat, A standard price for butter fat
is from 2j to 30 cents a pound,
This means $50 to the COW. Aft
or the 500 pounds OF cream were
taken out there would be $500
pounds OF skim milk left. Tests have
shown that 1000 pounds of milk
with 1000 pounds of cornmeal pro-
duce gain OF 1000 pounds in young
hogs. At 3 cents a pound this will
amount TO $50. The corn is worth
about 81, leaving little over $40
net gain. Thus far the COW has
earned a little over $50.
Taking the value OF fertilizers at
6 cents a pound for phosphates "a
cents for nitrogen, a COW Yields in
fertilizer s25 to $50 annually. SO
YOU have about 1920 as a gross in
come. You ought to be able to feed
COW for a year for s25, and rlgur-
ing cost Of the animal interest and
other charges, ought to leave you
$50 as net income from a COW. But
make the figures generous and allow
some estimate for losses, and you
ought easily to make SIS a year net
from each COW in your dairy herd
Ten cows will pay the expense OF
living and send the children to
school.
"a flock OF chickens in the dairy
yard will keep itself and milk is a
valuable poultry feed. The figure Of
gain 10. poultry as an ajunct to
dairy are difficult to estimate.
Dairy Products a Money Crop.

day. You can sell every pound Of

A local market or a cream
cry can be established wherever 75,-
600 pounds of butter fat can be pro-
duced Annually For this you need
800 cows; 400 to 500 cows are bet

you can ship the cream TO Kansas

a constant demand. There Is now

Dairying Forced ON People.
"The variety of dairy cows at the
start Is not important. The Erie
sans or island cattle are best The
average dairy COW can be bought
for s35 or $40 and from that stock
your herd can be bred up.
The first creamery in New York
state was founded In 1861. The
land had become exhausted and the
farmers were forced into darylng as
a means OF re-fertilizing it. The
and was so poor that many farmers
had moved away and deserted their
fields, Today those same deserted
fields are worth from 5000 to $500
m acre. On the islam OF Jersey and
Guernsey lands are worth $4,000 to
$4,000 an acre and dairy cows made
hem so valuable"

Why | Lost
NY Job
Reasons Why Thousands Like Me
Cannot Satisfy Their Employers.

81 believe my fate is not unlike that
of thousands of other workers who daily
lose their places for reasons they do
not know, and probably would not be-
1ieve. When their last pay envelope
comes along, it is usually Your serv-
ices no longer required" If the truth
were known, the reason for their I'M
ceremonious removal would probably be
that their usefulness was destroyed be-
cause of some mental worry, bodily all
ment or general indisposition. These
things, as we all know, are the most
fruitful causes of failure in all walks
of life. The battle of Waterloo was lost
because Of a headache. In this quick
age our minds must be clear rapid
active, and free from outside influence
or worry, or else we go down to failure
with the throng of "foaters'' who go
from one place of employment to an
other, giving no satisfaction to others or
to themselves, constantly growing older
and less useful, with no ambition, no will
power, and no hope.
Every man requires from every other
man the best that is in him. But no
man can use or get the best that is
In himself until he is first free from all
fretful indispositions and worries.
That was my trouble. I was full of
troubles. That's why 1 lost my job. My

made mistakes, and grew grouchy. That
was the end.
There are thousands like me, going
about with ''quick lunch" faces. dyspeptic
manners and repusive atmospheres. No
employer wants such mems services.
Take my advice. A healthy stomach
is half the battle, for it keeps your mind
clear, and your face rosy. l have a
healthy stomach now and hold good
position, and my employer is satisfied,
and so am I.

FARMAN'S BIG BALLOON

New York, July 16.-After a series
of conferences with steamship officials

that word had been sent to Farman
requesting him to ship his big airship
and STOW it on board the steamer

conducting the negotiations on behalf
of Farman for the St. Louis syndi-
cate, which had practically completed
all arrangements to bring The success
full aeronaut to this country when, at
the eleventh hour, 1t was discovered
that on account of It's great size, the
passenger steamers refused to carry
the machine.
1t had been supposed by members
of the Aero club here that the wings
of the machine could be folded up
and slowed away in a moderate COM
pass. AS the cases containing the
framework with the wings are more
than forty-five feet long, they are too
big for the hold and too long for the
deck. on advice Of the manager of

company, cable dispatch was sent to
