TACOMA, April lowing to
an accident Mrs: Florenz will not
appear tonight" The above an.
nouncement was made from the
stage Of the Pantages theater. Now

most peculiar. That afternoon, and
at the first night performance, Mrs.
F1orenz appeared as usual and did
her part as pedestal in the aero
batic act in which the five mem
beers of the Florenz family played.
At 9 o'clock the same night, aft
er the first performance, Mrs. Flor
enz went to her rooms in the Bost-
. wick hotel, and at o'clock next
morning became the mother of a
baby girl. The mother and baby
are doing nicely. The mother is
the wife of George Florenz. She is
a handsome woman, young and of
striking figure.

INDIANA DAIRY SPECIAL.

The second Educational Dairy Spe-
cial Train to be operated in Indiana,
was run from the 9th to the 18th OF
December, inclusive. In the five days
tour of the Monon lines a distance OF
500 miles was covered, and 80 stops
made. At each point a Commute talk
was given to those who visited the
train and on leaving each person took
away printed literature bearing upon
he subject discussed. An average at
tendance of 100 were present at the
meetings, and much interest was. ar
Oused.
The train was equipped and operat-
ed by the Monon railroad at it's W
expense and run in cooperation with
the Purdue Experiment Station and
the State Dairy Association. The lee
lures were in charge of the Depart
ment of Dairy H~usbandry. The trip
was along similar lines to those of the
Corn Specials that originated in Iowa
under the leadership of Prof. Holden,
that have been very successful in pro-
noting efforts to secure an increased

cheap foods and working them over
into the most delicious and useful of
human foods. Not only is she capa-
BILE of yielding more than her own
weight yearly in milk solids, all of
which are marketable, but while do
ing this she, at the same time, works
over the coarse vegetation of the farm
into a very useful form for the land.
The amount of milk, butter or
cheese sold more than pays the cost
of the raw material. Yet of the 16
cents worth of soil fertility contained
in a bushel of corn, she returns to the
soil about IA cents worth. Of the &c
cents worth of soil fertility contained
in a bushel of wheat, she returns about
% cents worth. Nature here has been
beautifully economical.
This cycle of uses always reminds
me of a steam heating plant. The
water of the boiler is heated and circu-
lates through the radiators in the form
of steam. The heat is given off and
the water returns to be reheated and
again performs it's work as a warmer.
So the original ingredients in the soil
grow into a plant, are consumed by the

which helped to build one corn plant
may aid another and yet another an in

WHAT MILK S

Insa years observation and record
keeping with dairy COWS, their feed,
etc., Cornell University found the cost
of producing milk as follows:
1. That with a fairly good herd,
carefully fed and kept, milk can be
produced for 65 cents per hundred
pounds and fat for 16 cents per pound
for the cost of the food consumed.
2. That individuals of the same
breed vary more widely in milk and
butter production than do the breeds
themselves.
8. That large animals consumed
less pounds of dry material per 1000
pounds live weight a day than did the
smaller animals.
4. That in general, the best yields
of fat were obtained from COWS that
gave at least a fairly large flow OF
milk.
5. That as a rule, the COWS consum-
ing the most food produced both milk
and fat at the lowest rate.
6. That for the production of milk
and fat there is no food as cheap as
good pasture grass.

of the several crops and their several
effects on the land, the compromising
of these crops into an economical ra-

needs of the animal, the handling of

the handling of the delicate product,
milk, in such a way that it shall lose
none of it's original properties, and
the marketing of it where he shall Sc
cure the highest available market

VARIATION IN QUALITY OF MILK.

Prof. Clinton D. Smith of Michigan
Agricultural College, announces the
following conclusions regarding varia-
tons in quality of milk:
1. A cow yields as much milk as a
heifer as she will as a mature COW.
2. The milk is as rich in the first
month of the period of lactation as
it will be later, except perhaps during
the last few weeks of the milk flow,
when the COW is rapidly drying off.
3. There is little difference in sea-
sons as to the quality of milk. While
COWS are at pasture the milk is neither
richer nor poorer, on the average,
than the milk yielded when the COWS
are on winter feed.
4. The milk of a fair-sized dairy
herd varies little in composition from
day to day, and radical variations in
this respect should be investigated.

SIX REQUISITES.

A. E. Ellis, a dairyman OF Missouri,
says there are six things requisite for
success in dairying. They are: know
what your COWS are doing. Dispose
of improbable COWS. Select a proper
sire for your dairy herd. Feed those
foods properly balanced in a ration
that will give profits in the pail. Pro
vide comfortable quarters. Care for
your COWS, showing kind and gentle
treatment.

What heights and depths there are
in the COW Keeping business! At the
top stand Pieterje 2d-a marvellous
Holstein with a record of 10000
pounds of milk in one year-and Yeksa
Sunbeam, the greatest Guernsey COW
known to history, with a 1000 pound
yield of butter in a like period Of time.
At the bottom are the many robber
COWS that pay nothing for their board
and lose money for their owners even
when credited with the manure they
make and between the two extremes
come the myriads of mediocre cows re-
garding the actual performance OF
which little or nothing is known. Every
owner should be able to tell from daily
records just what his cows are costing
for their keep and care, just what each
individual Gov is costing and yielding,
and just what wages she is earning.

At Chicago a grand jury indicted
four big corporations and eleven dairy
officials for conspiracy to raise the
price of milk. Those accused assert
that the fact they all raised the price
at the same time was merely a coinci-
dence, not a design" However they
had a meeting just before it chap
pened."

Ask Your Druggist

The great army of American druggists are mighty intelligent and well-educaed men. They know the properties of drugs and nned- cnes, and have experience with all kinds of troubles Which people come into the store to ask relief for. So their practical knowledge is very valuable, and their advice is worth great deal to all sick people
 If you know your druggist we'll enough to ask his advice for your female trouble do so, and he will tell you that thousands of have written letters, telling of relief obtained from taking Cardu.
 In his experience, he has heard and read of many cases of female weakness, which have been re- leVed or cured by Cardui. So when you ask his opinion, he will not offer prescription, but will probably say: "7ake Cayutd" And you will do we'll to follow his advice.
 Cardu is advised in all the common forms of Womany trouble due to disorders peculiar to females
 It has been found to relieve or prevent head ache, backaehe, side aehe dragging sensations, nerv ousness durability, rregularity, and general female weakness and misery.
 Many thousands of sick ladies have been re- stored to health, by the of Cardui. and have written to tell of the good it did them.
 Cardu is composed of pure, vegetable ngred ents-hence has no harmful effects, like many mineral compounds It acts gently and naturally, is good for young and old, and should be in every lady's home, even if not an invalid to take during her bad days

NEW ARRIVALS IN CANADA
NEARLY 100000 IN 1907.
ABOUT SIXTY THOUSAND FROM
THE UNITED STATES.

Now that it is known that in the
year just closed nearly sixty thou
sand from the United States declared
their intention of making their homes
in Canada, it might not be out OF
place to search for some reasons that
would bring this about. These people
are but following the example OF the
fifty-five or sixty thousand who did
the same thing the year previous, and
an almost equal number who the year
before that but followed the example
of the thousands of the year proceed
ing. An excellent climate, certain and
positive crops Of grain OF all kinds,
good markets for their produce, land
and good land, too at low prices,
easy terms of payment, (not forget
ting the 100 acres of land given free
by the Government, particulars OF
which the Canadian Government Agent
whose name appears elsewhere Will
tell you about and then the splendid
social conditions. The situation Is
pretty well sized up by writer in one
of the magazines. Quoting from this
article, we find this: "Those of us
who made good in the States inter-
jected another settler as If to con-
tinue the story of his neighbor, have
had it easy from the start; little
money is mighty good thing on COM
ing into a new country. But those
who make an entry, or even buy lands
at low rates, are able to square things
in two or three seasons crops. There
are hardships in building shanties,
and then with increasing prosperity
getting things into shape for better
homes. But affairs go much as in the
States. We have the largest liberty In
the world; there is more home rule IN
the Provinces than in the several
states of the Republic. Taxes are
light and with only few million peo-
pie west of Winnipeg we don't get in
each others way. Ones friends over
the line probably thought we would not
live through the winter; and while 1t

as near to affairs as we would be on
our own farms in the States. Winni-
peg bears the same relation to us as
Chicago did at home; and Edmonton
with the surrounding region advances
as Omaha did in the days when we
were as young as the boys yonder.
We get together much as they did In
the oranges over the border; the gov
eminent has established experimental
schools of agriculture, and progress in
every line is stimulated. This Is a
great region for grazing" we hear the
Calgary citizen continuing, land then
with building elevators of wheat at
enc dollar bushel, many of us find
time to go over to the live stock ex-
hibition in Chicago or visit old friends
during the course of the winter.
Every man is taken for what he Is
worth or for what he can raise; and
in this good air and on this fertile soil
we intend to show our old friends
that we are made of the right stuff
that we are chips of the old block
