PRINCESS MARIE.

Marie, the beautiful and talented
Crown Princess of Roumania, is today
celebrating her thirty fourth birthday.
It is not too much to say that she is
among the most popular, if not the
most popular, of the feminine mem
bers of the royal families of Europe.
She is familiar figure at the English
Court and is the favorite niece of King
Edward. Her vivacity and charm have
won for her a reputation altogether
out of proportion to the little country
which she calls home.
Candida, the famous writer for a
London paper, recently addressed one
of her open letters to the Princess. in
which the biography of the latter IS
charmingly set forth. Says Candida:
Most of us are well up in your life
history. You were born on October %,
1875, as the eldest of the three daugh-
ters of the late Duke of Sake Coburg,
better known as the Duke of Edin
burgh, and of the lady who is now

There are hundreds of old customs,

Halloween have been far more elab-

dining rooms are literally and taste

tumn festivals, the flowers and vege-
tables of this season play an import
ant part in the color and decorative
scheme. OF course, the pumpkin is the
vegetable which has more possible
ties along these lines than any other,
and it is everywhere to be seen. Soup
plates and pIatters are fashioned from
it. and then, too, grotesque and weird
masks can be cut from this vegetable

often on his flagship when it was sta

the ships company.

This was well exemplified in a recent

That there is surprisingly marked
difference in the yield of butter fat
from cows in the same herd under the
same conditions has been noted by
many of our experimental stations
and by numerous farmers who have
kept records. In this state the writer
has tested many herds, and has found
interesting data showing the value of

Dairyins and Choice Of Cows

herd is to secure a good sire. Al
though starting in with grade cows,
the dairyman should certainly bear in
mind that he cannot afford to head his
herd with anything less than a good,
pure bred sire, one capable of building
up the herd There is much truth in
the expression frequently used: THE
sire equals half the herd" Indeed,
he often equals more than three-fourths
of the herd. so far as value is con-
cerned.
Take for instance a herd of 20
cows headed by a pure-bred sire. Ex-
perience has demonstrated that heif-
ers as a result of having had a good
pure bred sire will readily yield tive
pounds additional milk at each milk
ing. This means four pounds of addi
tional milk per day from the heifer as
a direct result of the better Sire Sup
posing the cow milks approximately
800 days a year and the average milk
ing period of a. COW is six years, the
increase in milk production due to the
better sire would be 4x300x6, or 1900
pounds of milk. Estimating this at 81
per 100 pounds, at the very lowest,
would give us s72 per cow additional
profit From the herd of % COWS it
is reasonable to suppose that 10 heifer
calves be raised per year which would
give us profit of 1920. A sire can do
service in the same herd for three
years thus in time increasing the num-
Der of heifers raised to 80 and increas-
ing the profits due to the better sire to
s2,160. After making due allowance
for increased cost of a pure-bred sire
and interest on the money invested it
will readily be seen that the investment
nets a handsome dividend So there
can be no doubt that this is. the cheap
est. quickest and most practical way
of building up the dairy herd.
The question naturally arises
What is the best dairy breed?" In
a general way it is quite safe to say,
select that dairy breed that you like
the best. and stick stubbornly to it I'M
less there is the best of reasons for
change. Promiscuous cross breeding
never leads to desirable results IT is
only by persistently clinging to the
characteristics of any Of the dairy
breeds. and by careful breeding to
fix those characteristics that the herd
is materially built up.
In order to know definitely that the
COWS used for breeding purposes are
good producers it is necessary to use
the Scales and Babcock test. A good
dairyman can invariably tell a good
cow from a poor one. but as has been

1t is certainly true in dairying as
in any other business that ones sue
cess in. large measure is gagged by
his love and interest for the business.
The personal equation is an important
factor here as elsewhere.
A comparison of the beef and
dairy types of animal is perhaps the
most effective way of showing what
are the distinct dairy characteristics
The beef breeds are blocky in form,
are heavy and sluggish, while the dairy
animal is spare and angular and re-
fined With a soft and pliable hide we'll
covered with smooth. soft hair. The
head is lean and little longer than that
lean, joining to the body rather alb
ruptly. The withers are sharp with
the spinal column prominent and the
barrel long and capacious indicating
good feeding capacity. The ribs are
sprung down and outward and wide
spaced, the heart and loin girth large
and the tail fine with heavy switch.
The form of the dairy COW is frequently
spoken of as the triple wedge form.
First, she shows increased depth of
body toward tbs rear when viewed
from one side. Secondly she widens
gradually from the breast to the points
OF the hips.
The question is frequently asked by
the man who contemplates going into
the dairy business-"With my limited
capital and experience would / be JUS
titled in starting in with pure-bred an
imals?" The writer firmly believes that
the inexperienced man with small cap
ital should start with graded cows.
His limited capital will in this way
enable him to secure a larger herd
than he could in any other way, since
good grade COWS can be purchased for
a fraction of the cost of pure-bred
animals. While he is yet in the bust
ness his profits would come largely
from the sale of milk products. For
these he can readily secure a market
If he has an inclination to handle pure
bred stock he can work into this as
fast as his acquired experience and
capital will permit.
In selecting the grade cows for his
herd the dairyman should bear in mind
three points:
First-Select that dairy breed that
best suits him.
Second. Select only such cows as
conform to the dairy type.
Third Investigate carefully the
butter-fat record OF each COW before
purchasing.

OF course, the Halloween feast must
be partaken of just before or just af-
ter. midnight, as there are so many
games that can only be INDUCED in at
the very stroke of II, if tradition is
adhered to, and this must not be shat
tered if the true spirit of Halloween is
to prevail. Every girl with on whit of
romance in her makeup loves to be in
her boudoir at u. There, with mirror
in hand. she peeps over her shoulder
to see if her lover can see her face re-
fiected in her glass or if she in turn
can see him. Then, too, the apple-bob
bling contest and the candle-leaping
game must all be gone through with
as near the witching hour of II as pos
sible.
In bobbing for apples each apple is
named. Then. when set afioat in a
tub, those who are to learn their fate
gather around. With their teeth they
try to catch the stem of the apple, and
if they succeed in bringing it from the
whom that particular apple is named.
The candle game is played with num-
Der of little wax tapers lighted and
! set in a row. The candles are named
and each contestant endeavors to hop
over one and on one foot. If they
should sniff the light on any candle
without turning it over that person
for whom the candle is named will wed
him or her within the year
A game of our earliest childhood is
that of pairing the apple. Due care
should be taken not to break the peel
ing. and when pared off intact it should
be tossed over the left shoulder while
the omen seeker chants:

again,

plain,

Upon the floor my lovers name to

This pairing, then. in obedience to
this incarnation, forms the initial of

In some parts of England and Ire
land they still call it 'Nutcrack Night"
and many pastimes are INDUCED in by
gossoons and colleens whereby their
fates are decided. In games played
that night nuts are brought into play
and by these little tokens many a
match is decided then and there. For
misunderstanding to ascertain if ones
sweetheart is faithful. let each one
place a nut upon the CRATE, naming it
for a lover. If the nut jumps or cracks
the maiden or swain is proved false,
but if it blazes and burns merrily he

This bit of verse may be recited
when this game is in progress:
These glowing nuts are emblems true
Of what in human life we view.
The Unmatched couple fret and fume
And thus in strife themselves consume:
Or from each other mildly start,
And with noise forever part.
But see the happy. happy pair.

With natural fondness while they burn
Still to each other kindly turn.

Together gently sink away.

Their mingled ashes rest at last.
