SKIM MlNGS,

A farmer that has q well-kept dairy
Of good cows is in a position to make
certain living.
1t takes capital to run any business,
but the best capital creamery can
have is plenty of raw material.
Do not fill the churn too full, and
see that the temperature ia right, If
you expect the butter to come read
lily.
All flesh that the COW puts on when
dry becomes a deposit which will
be drawn out in an increased yield
Of milk.
The Texas Farmer says: Those who
expect to lead in the dairy business
often find someone crowding them for
the same honor.
Are you taking good care Of the
straw piles that the cows may have a
comfortable bed to sleep on during
the coming winter?
Dairying is a science that is being
more thoroughly studied to-day than
ever before 1t has in it a great deal
more than most people dream of.
Milk will command high prices this
winter; perhaps higher than it has
been for many years. Hence while put
ting away supply of feed don't fail
to get plenty.

POOR MAN AND POOR COW.
The Poorer the Man 10 the Less He
Can Afford to Keep a Poor Cow.

No man who keeps cows for the
money there is in it is so rich that he
can afford to keep poor ones. The rich
fellow who goes into the dairy busi-
ness for the satisfaction he can get
out OF 1t usually keeps the best COWS
that money can buy. The poor man
who must depend upon his dairy for
his living and profit too often keeps
poor cows because the better ones
cost more money. The rich fellow
could well afford to keep this kind,
but it is the most foolish kind of fool
ishness for the poor man to own such
cows. He is just the man who should
own the good cows It is impossible,
Of course, for him to buy the kind of
cows the rich fellow does, but this is
not necessary or advisable. He can
build up a herd of good cows from a
very few good mixers by using a
good dairy sire, and by studying the
Individuality of his herd. Just little
Improvement each year will do the
business.

about here and there were other things
that brought her memory painfully
back to him; that hurt him with their
familiarity; that caused him to lift
them up and hold them with a sort Of
despairing wonder: her guitar, her
worn, lock-fast desk, the old gilt pho
tograph album he remembered SO
well. He sat down at the table and
buried his face in his hands. What
q fool he had been! What fool ne

He was reused by the sound Of Hor-
ble's footsteps down the ladder. With
his head leaning on his hand, he
looked at the big naked feet feeling
for the steps, then at the uncouth
clothes as they gradually appeared,
then at the fat, weak, frightened face
of the man himself. He grew sick
at the sight of him. Would Horrible
strike him? Would Horrible have the
grit to order him off the ship? No;
the Internal coward was getting out
the gina bottle of square-face and
