The Food Of Support.

Many people blame the cows
when they ought to blame the
feeder. Many a dairyman gets
half the profit from a good COW
that he ought to do. The cow is
condemned for not doing her
duty, when the fact is, she does
very we'll with the rations upon
which she is fed.
Professor Washhurn of Mis-
souri,, said something pertinent to
this subject in an address before
the Kansas Dairy Association, as
follows:
"Feed literally. The first por-
ton of a food consumed by the
cow is appropriated by her for
the maintenance of her own body.
If q quantity of food only suf-
ficient for this maintenance be
given she cannot for any length
of time continue to give milk. LII
it cost fifteen pounds Of food a
day to keen the cow, and she
receives but fifteen pounds, she
cannot yield a profit. If she
receives twenty pounds of food a
day, there are five pounds of
overflow or surplus food, which
can be used for tho production of
milk. If she consumes twenty
five pounds a day she has ten
pounds of overflow food or twice
as much with which to make
milk as when she received only
twenty pounds of food a day.
As a general proposition and q
safe rule, when the COW is fresh
IN milk, the more food she can be
induced to consume up to the
noint of losing her appetite the
more cheaply she will produce
milk"

There was ono salesman who remem-
bered me and before my purchases were
delivered they were keenly inspected and
some were changed, as he remembered

thing that did not come up To the stand

well, 7 observed, and the reason was un-
doubtedly to be found in her complacency.
4 matron of wide experience told me
that she had hired domestic workers for
more than forty years, and that she never
discharged one for any reason but break
ing up her home. and none left her save
to marry and settle in homes Of their
own. I know that she is difficult 30
please. but she is Just. and somehow she
wins the respect and affection of her
girls without striving for il. She never
did and never will accept inferior work
when she pays for the best. and I have
noticed that both women and men of
that stamp are faithfully served in all
departments OF life. Foreigners complain
that rich and careless Americans make
life hard for them because they are the
means Of boosting prices far out OF their
reach. and the lavish tipping system they
have adopted makes il impossible to re
ceive decent treatment without following

FROM WOMAN'S POINT OF VIEW
By BETTY BRADEEN.

We women are accused Of being instru-
mental in raising the price Of everything,
from frivolites to labor and tn, e is
enough truth in the accusation to weaken
whatever defense we might offer We
certainly advanced the price Of labor by
showing a disincIination 90 do anything
for ourselves TO make the smallest -sacri-
fee, and We have fostered incompetency
by ignoring the lack of sldll and thor
oughness.
Butchers frankly confess that they i'm
posa upon ignorance and carelessness
because they are sure of losing nothing by
it. The idea OF changing from one trades
man To another is not to be considered.
because it means effort and perhaps a
little annoyance as well, Punishment
would probably work reform but it is
too much bother to administer it. so fam
lies which cannot afford TO ignore pennies
pay bills without verifying the items and
slip over such small things as charges
for articles never delivered.
Don't. you remember the story of the
furniture repairer who found a charge Of
ten dollars on his books and no name by
which to identify it? He sent q bill to
each OF his customers. you know, and
several paid 1t without protest, al
though it could not rightfully belong to
more than one. Do you imagine that he
returned that money? Well, he did not;
and who is to say that he did not re-
peat the trick after he discovered how
successfully it worked? If he did, his
careless patrons were to blame for his
fall from the pedestal of honesty
There are two-priced shops in every
city. I imagine. Certainly they exist in
large cities and they flourish because
