Cooperative Testing.

The success of over thirty cooper
ative cow-testing associations in Wis
consin has aroused much interest in
this plan of determining the actual milk
production of COWS. The first cow
testing association in that state was
organized in Fond du Lac county two
years ago by the Wisconsin Dairymen's
association.
These associations are of two kinds;
the "one dollar cow plan" and the
fifty cents cow plan" In the former
the Dairymen's association furnishes
a man to do the work of weighing and
testing the milk of the individual cows
in the herd at an expense of 81 a cow
for the year There are generally
tWenty-six members in each associa-
ton, so that tests can be made once
month, on each farm.
Under the second plan the farmers
themselves weigh and sample the milk
from their cows for one day each month
and bring the samples to their cream
cry or cheese factory where they are

If possible never rearrange flowers, .
he said, Just as you gather them is
natures arrangement and it is the
best"
And if YOU do manage to make some
of these little morning excursions with
your children into garden or field the
chances are that you will bring back
to your work something even better
than flowers.
Don't be satisfied with a few vases.
Have two or three in every room Not
just in the dining room and living
room but in every chamber, and the
kitchen for good measure.
A vase of nasturtiums over the sink
or a bowl of pansies on the kitchen
table isn't going to make it any harder
to DO the dishes or fill the lamps
So many vases cost, you say? How
much?
For ten cents YOU can get a slim, tall
glass vase, that, filled with your peO-
MICS or roses would be a fit ornament
for a duchess piano
For II cents you can buy a blue
Japanese bowl that, overlooking with
your nasturtiums, wouldn't look bad
on a queens breakfast table.
And when you are picking the flow
ors that probably you've had too many
Of to half appreciate, don't forget the
pee pie who are unlucky enough to
know how to appreciate single flower.
Probably there is flower mission
handy ready to take anything you
'av give to those who need.

sioner to some poor shutins all by

There ought not to be any such
thing as an unlovely home outside the
city these next two months.
For all the threadbare, barren spots
and healed by beauty brought in from
outside
1t takes but very little time to
bring some of the flowers that bloom
in the fields and garden into the house
And yet many a time I've seen the
garden gay with rose and poppy, pansy
and nasturtium, and the house flower
or two bowls of half decaying flowers.
You haven't just the little time ne
cessary?
Then make it the childrens daily
task to keep the flower vases freshly
filled
Teach them to have pride in it,
remember occasionally to comment In
their presence to a visitor on some
tasteful arrangement they have made
and you need never have an empty
vase as long as the flowers last
And not only will you have beauti-
fed the house thereby, but you will
also have cutaied Satan's proverbial
chance of hunting up mischief for idle
hands.

Glimbses Through Gothcm

NEW YORK, Aug THE women
constantly tormenting us and the So
ciety for the prevention of innocent
amusement on the first day CT the
week have gained another glorious
victory
When Mark Twain and other God
less folk who ought to be roasting in
Ha6es this minutes, organized an Ed
ucational theater. you may well imag-
inc that all us good and pious people
held up our prayer books in holy hor-
ror and sanctified alarm. A theater
for adults is bad enough, land sake.s,
but when the miscreants attempt to
put cancers into the hands of chill
dren"-as St. Anthony Comstock once
expressed tit is time for we of the
elect to get out our hammers.
What made the case worse was that
the theater was intended for the chill
dren of the East side. Why should
the youngsters of the.tenements want
theater or Ito be trained in the dra-
matte arts" VIXEN ~ have provided
for their delectaa1U >ptge number of
nice missions Il Inxks<1A of amusing
themselves the hlxoeaess youths
should be taus1fss6a .suffer and be
strong" shE
But the reaferiue of Mark Twain,
Robert j. Coliiera and other wretches
involved in the conspiracy was that it
was proposed to give Sunday might
performances at the so-called Educa-
tiOnal theater. Do you think we holy
men would permit that? No indeed.
Not while we have police who would
rather, much rather. interfere with a
dancer than tackle a man-size crim-
inal.
AS a net result of our pious en-
deavOrs, an order from the courts to
show cause why the Educational thea
ire corporation should not be dis
solved is returnable on Monday. From
present appearances, the theater is on
its last limbs It's final dissolution

air of Oriental dignity and occult
preoccupation. All wrong The
Grand Lama was born thirty-six
years ago today, has his hair cut, and
wears bored. blase air and yellow

The Delai Lama recently created

thorities, who didn't know what to do
with him. Finally he was induced
to settle down at Wo Tai Chan, in the
