Play Up to the Part You Are Cast In.
The story is so old it seems trite
to repeat 1t, but when a girl wants to
go on and play herself she has proven
then and there that she does not want
to act; she wants simply to show her
self. II is just plain, garden va
riety of ingrowing ego Her attitude
of mind at once proclaims her. She
will never be an actress. But II an
exceedingly good looking girl decides
she wishes to play character parts,
in other words, forget her personal
beauty and make up plain and homely
for the sake OF characterization, it's
a pretty good sign that somewhere
within is spark that may mean
art. says Paul Armstrong in Success
Magazine, and he goes on to say:
Acting is, after all simply self
hypnotlsm-the trick of being some
other person than oneself; of being
II in mind and voice, body and soul.
II goes deeper than clothes, wigs and
grease paint, and, as In all other
things, the mental strength always
wins.
According to no less an authority
on the art Of acting than Miss Olga
Nethersole it is great paradox.
While It is certainly egotism which
leads a girl to believe the public wish
to applaud her. nevertheless. Miss
Nethersole maintains, There is no
ego in art" In other words, she
means that II is the utter effacement
OF the person-the ego-which makes
an actress.

His Good Eye.

Il Is a curious fact that the loss OF
any one of the five senses is atoned for
to a considerable extent by pro-
nounced increase in the efficiency OF
the other senses. The result is some
times astonishing.
A man who had lost the sight OF
both eyes trained his hearing until he
could tell by the sound of his footsteps
on the sidewalks as he made his way
about town whether he was In the
middle of the walk or at one side.
whether he was walking past a brick
or a frame house or fence or open
ground.
He knew in what part of the town
he was not only by his memory or
sense Of general direction. but by the
difference in the "tones" of his foot
steps, and he walked about freely, sell
dom running into anything or any
body.
Some one in his presence once called
in question his total blindness.
(Which eye do you think l can see
withT" he asked the skeptic.
THE left one. of course" was the
reply. 81 can see that the right one is
blind"
In reply the blind man merely
opened his penknife and tapped the
left eye with the little blade.
1t was a glass eye.

Antiuuity of Fishinu.

Probably no branch of industry can
lay claim to greater antiquity than
that Of fishing. Its origin would seem
to be coeval with the earliest efforts
Of human ingenuity. for the oldest
monuments Of antiquity show the fish

ments Of his calling, and even those
tribes Of savages which have learned
neither to keep fiocks nor to till the

the hook. the fish spear and the net.
The earliest civilization Of the eastern
Mediterranean was begun with fishing.
Sidon. which means Fishery" was
originally fishing village, and its en-
terprising inhabitants devoted their at.
tention mainly to the collection Of q
certain kind of mollusks, from which
they prepared the famous tyrian pur.
pie. priced more highly for the rich.

other dye known to the ancients.

good one will be found, but there Is
little certainty Of her heifer calves
being like her. They tend to go either
to the beef or dairy type. A whole
herd Of first class dual purpose cows
is hard to obtain and to keep when
it has been obtained.
Selecting the Cows.
If dairying is to be made prominent
feature of the farming operations it
will pay to go into one of the special
lied dairy breeds. These special pur-
pose dairy cows are machines for turn
ing out milk. and the best ones do it
effectively. and breed true to tyne.
There is little choice between breeds.
The Jerseys give very rich milk, but
are small in size and cannot stand un-
favorable conditions well. Holsteins
are harder. larger and can use more
rough feed to advantage. Their calves
can be turned into quick and profitable
veal and their large milk flow means
more skimmilk for calves and pigs.
Where milk is being sold the small per-
centage of fat is disadvantage.
Guernseys are harder than jerseys.
They give little more milk with'a Ill
tie lower percentage of fat. The mix
is valuable for city trade because OF IL
high percentage of solids other tAIn
fat.
Far more important than breed is IL
dividuality. There are three things to
be taken into consideration in select
ing a dairy COW type, performance
and pedigree. The dairy type is gen
orally recognized as being wedge shap-
ed. wide and deep behind and mar
rover in front. The three most impor-
tant points to look for are quality. con-
stitution and capacity. The skin should
be pliable and the horns and hair fine.
A coarse animal is seldom satisfac-
tory milk and butter producer. There
should be no tendency to lay on fat. A
dairy COW is worked to the limit dur
ing most of her life and must have a
strong constitution to keep up under
the strain. This Is Indicated by
roomy chest and large nostrils.
The capacity Of the cow is Of two
kinds. digestive and milk producing.
She must have good digestive capac-
ity, as shown by long. deep. roomy
barrel. in order to be able TO handle
the amount of feed necessary to fur
uish material for Il large milk yield.
Milk producing capacity IL indicated
by large. well balanced udder. ex
tending well forward and well up be-
tween the legs behind. The veins
which run forward from the udder
should be large and twisted, as this
Is an indication of a large milk flow.
Some cows have digestive capacity
too large for their milk producing ca
pacity, while some are the other way.
The most economical producer of milk
is obtained when these two are bal
anced. The teats should be long and
well placed for convenience i'm milk
ing.
BY far the most important point in
selecting COW is her performance
record. This shows just how much
milk and butter she can produce in a
given time. Directions for testing
rows will be given later.
The pedigree Of dairy COW is val
lable mainly for the performance rec
ords of her ancestors. The record Of
ner grandmother ON her sires side is
especially important. as good cow

WWYHEN properly carried on
AEAg deirying is one of the most
W W profitable branches of live
stock farming. The work is
somewhat combining, but that is not q
serious objection as long as the profits
keep coming in. As shown in article 3,
dairying removes less fertility from
the farm than any other branch of
live stock farming. Dairying is adapt
ed to many localities where general
farming cannot be carried on. Low
wet land or that too billy to be cult
waited can be profitably utilized as
pasture for dairy cows. There is lit
tie danger of the dairy business being
overdone. AS population increases, the
demand for dairy products becomes
greater. The dairy COW produces food
more economically than any other
class of farm animals.
In starting in the dairy business the
type of cow to select will depend
largely on conditions For the gen.
eral farm, where dairying is more or
less Of side issue, the dual purpose
COWS have many advocates. They give
a fair amount of milk and produce
calves that feed into satisfactory beef
animals. The worst trouble with dual
purpose cows is that they cannot be
bred true to type with any degree Of
certainty. Once in awhile an extra
