To Turn Bias Folds.

Run a hat pin in and on, Of your
ironing board once. taking up hall
inch of the ironing sheet. Place one
end Of the fold under the pin and turn
over each edge ABOUT one-tbird inch.
Then run the point Of pin in the sheet
Just beyond the Turned edge Of fold,
keeping the opposite turned edge as
near as possible to where the pin
energies from the sheet. In the same
way place another pin over fold about
three inches from the first pin and
have the width Of space between
where the pins leave and enter the
sheet equal. and Of the same width
that you want your folds when turned.
Have some one pull the strip along
and with a warm nat iron press over
and between the pins. This saves all
labor Of basting and as soon as they
are turned they should be stitched on
one edge and the other basted on the
skirt or garment on which they are to
be placed.

commenting ON tneSe IWO IcCOIus
touching the comparative value Of the
two cows, the Farm and Dairy Of Can
ada says: f E >%
It will be noticed that one COW gave
practically Just double the amount Of
milk in seven months that the other
COW did. Does this indicate that she ID
worth just twice as much! BY some
it will be claimed that is worth more
than twice as much because she did
not eat twice as much as the second
COW, although she gave twice as much
milk.
When, however, we look at the profit
OF the one COW compared with the
profit of the other, we find that the
first cow gave five times as great 9
profit as the second COW. Does this
mean that she Is worth five times az
much? II it does not, then how much
more is the first COW worth than the
second COW? p
These figures all 60 to show that
the main profit in keeping cows lies in
the amount of milk they can be in.
duced to give above the actual cost Of
feed. The greater amount of milk the
cow gives above the cost of feed, thu
greater Is the proportion of clear
profit in handling her. In the case OF
the second COW here referred to, II
will be noticed that while the first
cow give twice as much milk as the
second SOW, she yielded five times the
profit. This was because once the cost
Of. feed had been deducted, all the
milk she produced above the cost Of
her feed represented clear profit. For
instance, it is infinitely more costly
to keep five cows, each yielding q
profit Of $500, than II is to keep one
that alone gives profit of $34.90. BY
keeping one COW instead of five, tho
feed of four cows is saved as well "a
la labor OF milking and attending to
aem. and me space they occupy In

CHAPTER Xii.
Tho Quarrel.

The beginning Of the Crawling Stone
line marked the first determined effort
under President Bucks, while under.

tenn for through traffic, TO develop the
rich local territory tributary to the
mountain division. New policies In
construction dated from the same
period. Glover. with an enormous
capital staked for the new undertake.
every month in the year and for the
first time In mountain railroad build.
Ing winter was to be ignored. The
older mountain men met the innova.
ton as they met any departure from
their traditions, with curiosity and dis.
trust. On the other hand, the new and
younger blood took hold with con-
fidence, and when Glover called. "Yo,
heave ho!" at headquarters, they bent
themselves clear across the system for
q hard pull together.
McCloud, resting the operating on
the shoulders OF his assistant Ander'
son, devoted himself wholly to for
waroln8 the construction plans. ana

right-hand man. Mears, McCloud put
In a switch below Piedmont. opened a
material yard and began track laying
toward the lower Crawling Stone val
ley. when Mears said 1t was time to
stop work till spring. When McCloud
told him he wanted track across the
divide and into the lower valley by
spring, Mears threw up his hands. But
there was metal In the old man. and
ne was Tor orders all the time. He
kept up a running nre Of protests and
forebodings about the danger of ex.
posing men during tho winter season,
but stuck to his post.
Spring found the construction Of tho
valley line we'll advanced. and the
