they strive to subdue it.

1t was, then, to continue the fortunes
and misfortunes of Max Scharfenstein,
close to midnight when the cavalcade
crossed the old moat-bridge, which
hadn't moved on its hinges within a
hundred years. They were not enter

swung outward with a plaintive moan

an ancient guard-room, now used as a
kind of secondary stable. The men
dismounted.

colonel. with a hooking bow. He
pointed toward broad stone staircase
'All / ask" said Max, SIS a fair
chance to explain my presence here"
"All in due time. Forward. The
prince is waiting and his temper may
not be as smooth as usual"
With two troopers in front of him
and two behind, Max climbed the steps
readily enough. They wouldn't dare
kill him, whatever they did. He tried
to imagine himself the hero of some
Scott or Dumas tale with grim car
dinal somewhere above, and oubliettes
and torture chambers besetting his
path. But the absurdity of his mag

There are Germans in the United
States, born and bred there, who speak
German tolerably WELL" replied Max
easily. He was wondering If it would
not be good scheme to tell straight
forward story and ask to be returned
to Barscheit. But that would probably
appeal to the officer that he was a cow
ard and was trying to lay the blame on
the princess.
II do not say that l can prove it,"
went on the colonel; Il simply affirm
that you are a German, even to the
marrow"
You have the advantage of the dis
cussion." No; he would confess moth
ing. If he did he might never see the
princess again. The princess!
AS far away as yonder stars! 1t was
truly a very disappointing world to
live in.
Now, then, forward" cried the
colonel to his men, and they set OFF at
a sharp trot.
From time to time, as sudden twist
in the road broke the straight line,
Max could see the careening lights OF
the princess carriage. A princess!

laugh later, but it was scarcely prob
able. A tramp through a dark corridor
and they came to the west wing of the
castle. 1t was here that the old prince
lived, comfortably and luXuriously
enough, you may take my word for it.
A door opened, flooding the corridor
with light. Max felt himself gently
pushed over the threshold. He stood
in the great living-room of the modern
Doppelllinns. The first person he saw
was the princess. She sat on an orien-
tai divan. Her hands were folded; she
sat very erect; her chin was tilted
ominously; there was so little express
sion on her pale face that she might
have been an incompleted statue. But
Max was almost certain that there
was just the faintest flicker of smile
in her eyes as she saw him enter.

The other occupant of the room was
an old man, fat and bald, with a nose
like a russell pear. He was stalking

rumbling sound, was communing half

Max.

Max often wondered why he did not
make dash for it, or running fight.
What he had gone through that night
was worth a good fight.
"Good-by," said the princess, hold
ing out her hand.
Scharfenstein gravely bent his head
and kissed it.
"Goodby, Prince Charming!" she
whispered, so softly that Max scarcely
heard her.
Then she entered the closed carriage
and was driven up the dark, tree-en-
shrouded road that led to the Castle Of
Doppelkinn.

THE PRODUCTION
OF PURE MILK
BY Prof. H. H. Dean, Ontario.

The first thing | want to emphasize
in the production Of milk is that we
must have a good cow. What is
good COW? One that will produce at
least 5000 pounds of milk, or make not
less than $50 pounds of butter in one
year. at cost of not more than $50
for feed. Such COW as that is
profitable animal. VIII you bear in
mind that careful estimate, based
upon results of the COW testing assocl-
atoms, states that the average produc-
ton of the COWS of the provinces of
Ontario and Quebec, which comprise
the best dairying districts in Canada,
is only 5000 pounds of milk in the
year. Is there any wonder that In some
dairying districts there Is not enough
milk to drink? There is no money in
keeping cows like this, and 1t is no
wonder that people are not satisfied
We have in our stable a Holstein
which has produced 1892 pounds of
milk in 80 days, within 500 pounds of
the average annual production of COWS
of Ontario and Quebec. In seven days
she gave us CAB pounds, and in one
day SO pounds of milk. If we had cows
like that there would be no trouble
about having plenty Of milk to drink.
A man cannot afford to keep cows that
produce only 5000 pounds of milk in
year.
One of the factors that we must
bear in mind regarding good cow is
that we must have strong, healthy,
vigorous one, If we would have milk
that has what is called vitality. think
it would be impossible to get the best
milk for drinking purposes from a COW
that is low in vitality. Second, the
COW must be fed the right kind of
food. There are some men so gener-
Gus that they will feed their COWS
straw all winter, give them all the
straw they can eat, and then swear
at them because they will not give
more milk.
1t Is little wonder that many farm
ers are unable to obtain satisfactory
milk production. They do not feed.
If you asked a COW what she would rath-
err have to eat, she would answer
Give me juicy, succulent grass, and
| will give you plenty of milk For
five or six months of the year the
farmer must substitute for grass such
food as mangels, carrots and corn sill
age. Turnips should not be fed to
COWS producing milk. Such people
enjoy the flavor of turnips in milk, but
the majority do not. If you want the
best quality of milk, do not feed tur-
nips. We should recommend the fol-
lowing ration for winter milk produc-
ton: Eight to ten pounds clover
hay, 80 to 40 pounds corn silage, 20
to 80 pounds mangels, eight to ten
pounds meal made up of equal parts
of oats and bran by weight, and one
to two pounds of oil cake, gluten meal
or pea meal. The ration to be given
in two feeds daily to each COW. A
COW does not need to be fed more
than twice day under ordinary cir
cumstances.
Give the COW plenty of water. How
much water do you think was drunk
by the COW that gave sc pounds of
milk in one day? Nearly 200 pounds.
That does not mean that the milk
was water, as her milk tested about
3.5 per cent. fat. You cannot water
