and in spite of the merry-making there
overhung a gloom that could not be
dispelled by music and laughter. This
depression was visible plainly in the
older residents of the town, who have
refused for long, to entertain such a
belief that Kangley's corporate life
was at end.
The affair was held in the town
hall and in the evening there was a
local talent" play. This was followed
by a banquet and then came ball, a
large crowd dancing until early in the

a number of structures have been dis

BUILDING THE
DAIRY HERD
BY H. j. waters. Dean Missouri
Agricultural College.

The proper selection, maintenance
and development of the dairy herd
lies at the foundation of all perman.
ent success in dairying. While the
organization of factories, wherein but
ter and cheese may be manufactured
more economically than on the farm.
may stimulate and encourage the de-
velopment of the dairy industry, 1t is
nevertheless true that this stimulus
will be only temporary and will soon
fail II the farmers are producing the
milk without satisfactory profit.
A thoroughbred herd of dairy cows
is not necessary to success. In fact,
for the beginner, it is perhaps advis-
able for him to select the best cows
of his local community. The COM
bination beef and dairy cow Is claimed
by many authorities to be the most
profitable on the whole, inasmuch as
the COW herself may be readily and
profitably converted into beef when
she proves unsatisfactory for dairy
purposes; that she will drop a large
and thrifty calf that may be made into
veal or into beef at profit, and in
lHlS way duu HdttiidIiy " INC pi oht'
of the business. On the other hand the
remembrance of evidence seems to be
on the side of the special dairy COW.
The comparative tests show that such
a cow will produce butter at less cost.
just as the other type of animal will
produce beef to a better advantage,
and that in the end the dairyman will
be acting most wisely who plans to
form his herd out of such cows.
After having gotten the herd to-
gether, the most rigid selection and
the most intelligent breeding will be
necessary to improve its quality or
even maintain its excellence. No
matter how judiciously the herd may
have been selected, there is almost
certain to be a number of animals that
will fail to produce a profit and wide
difference will be shown in the
amount of profit returned by different
cows. 1t is therefore absolutely es-
sential to the most rapid progress and
to the highest degree of success that
the dairymen determine accurately the
number of pounds of butter or milk
produced by each COW each year. An
investment of less than $40 in Bah
cock milk tester and pair of spring
balance scales and an expenditure of
a comparatively small amount of time
and labor will furnish this informa-
ton and 1t Is certain to cause a great
surprise to the owner of the herd.

One morning. a few weeks ago. as a
South Jersey country physician was
driving through a village, he4aw a
man, slightly under the influence OF
liquor, amusing a crowd OF spectators
with the antics of his trick dog. The
doctor pulled up and watched the fun
a while and then said:
MY dear man, how do you manage
to train your dog that way? | can't

The man addressed looked up, and

TREASURE FIND ON BEACH.
Washing Up of Coins Of 1900 on Long
Island Attracts Scores.

New York.-Silver dollars OF the
mIntage of 1900 are being washed
ashore on the beach near Eastport, l..
l.. and scores of men and women are
out raking and sitting the sand in the
hope of sharing in the prosperity
which has come SO unexpectedly to
Eastport.
The popular supposition Is that
about n century ago treasure snip
went ashore on the coast near here
and became a total loss. The fact that
the old silver dollars are coming
ashore 100 years after Is construed to
mean that the chests containing the
coins were in the hold and that the
storms of the last year have broken
up the remnants of the hull. and also
the treasure chests. and freed the sill
yer. 1t is well known that silver dol
lars at that time were made mainly
for export.
The first coin washed ashore was
found by Clarence Jayne. life saver
stationed at the Moriches station. He
was patroling the beach when he saw
1t lying half buried in the sand. On
one side of the coin Is the figure OF
! woman and on the other an eagle
surrounded by 10 stars. one FOR each
of the 10 original states.
Jayne told his comrades about his
find and they began searching the
beach. The news spread to neighbor-
ing villages, and soon there was a rush
for the ocean front. Those who have
found the coins are not parting with
them, because they have been in
formed they are valuable and will COM
mand high prices from coin collectors.
