Dairylnu n proNtah,.

The dairy business as a whole is
now upon a profitable basis. One thing
remains. We need as O whole a
shorter working day. Other agricul-
tural activities make long days during
some special busy time. The dairy
calls for early rising every day in the
year. A fellow can work on his nerve
much Of the time II he can let I'D oc.

mand upon time and effort, II judi.

Save serubblnn Brushes.

Bad usage is, more often than not,
responsible for the short life of q
really first-class scrubbing brush. Aft.
er using the brush, never lay It up
side down, as any moisture on the
bristles will sink into the back and
make the brush soggy. For the same
reason the household broom should
never be placed in the corner with
the straw part upward. Instead,
fasten it to a catch in the wall BY a

In the Dairy.

Owing to the poor feed in the pas
lures and the high price Of grain, nc
money was made in milk production
last year. The day Of cheap grain Is
past, and in the future the producer
must plan more to raise his own
grain. The price Of milk has ad.
vanced somewhat in proportion to
that Of grain, and Is one-third higher
than it was eight years ago. and is
now higher than at any time in the
past 20 years.
