Don't yell shall" and "shan't'
and must" at the little ones, or
they may wish they had been born
before their parents.
Don't tell your children how
sweet and good you were as a child,
for they may not believe you, judg-
ing from their acquaintance of you
in later years.
Don't tell the little ones about
the early bird and the worm, it's a
wormy old chestnut any way, and
besides sleep is worth more than
worms any day.
Don't hold up some other little
girl or boy to your children for
them to initiate, they probably know
the child better than you do.
Don't send your little ones sup
PEERLESS to bed, if you were hollow
you would toss and swear all night.
Don't whip your children, it is
barbarous-if you must do some
thing in that line, kick yourself.
Don't lie to your children and
then scold them for lying. Remem-
ber who was the father of lies.
Don't try to break their wills
better break their necks.
Don't act as if experimenting a
gang of Italians when speaking to
your children; you may prevent
them from admiring you.
Don't fail to consider that child
has feelings of its own, which in
contrast to your own best, are still
as unsullied as snow and as fair as
heaven. This may make a better
man or woman of you.

 "A cloudburst on Spring creek, last Saturday night, caused much damage to the Lee Johnson ranch. The flood came down in torrent, sweeping away everything in it's path. Trees were uprooted and torn to shreds. The Hume, which MT. Johnson built across the creek last spring, was carried away as was also his corral The house was surrounded by the flood, but only reached to the door-sill at the highest, just as the family was prepared to make a dash for higher ground. The creek has cut a new channel straight across into Oak creek. forming a june ton just above the G. H. John- son residence, where the timber is broken and swept bare of leaves and small branches. No damage was done to the opposite bank at that point, as the timber seemed to- break the force of the flood. Oak creek, also, was very high, but fortunately the highest point was not reached until after the Spring creek flood had somewhat subsided. The flood in Oak creek measured within six inches of that of, last December, when the dams went out in Mund's park. "
 ilWhile trying to save barrel from floating away Saturday night Sam Duncan walked off the bank into the current, but fortunately an overhanging bough saved him from being carried down stream.

KEEP FEED RECORD OF
YOUR DAIRY CATTLE
THE AGRICULTURAL EXPERT
MENT STATION BULLETIN
Demonstrates Importance Of Such
Record of Cost Of Feed
for Each Cow.
(By John NJ. scott.)

II is doubtful II there are half-a-
dozen dairymen in Florida who can
tell what 1t costs them to produce a
gallon of milk. OF whether every COW
in the herd produces enough milk T.
pay for the feed given it. These are,
however, two important questions, and
every dairyman ought to be able to
answeF them. II is just az important
to know the cost Of producing q gallon
Of milk as It is to know how TO com
bine feeds so as to get the best re.
suits. Without the knowledge OF the
cost for each COW, failure will often
follow. The only way to know this
IS TO keep daily record OF the feed
given and the milk produced The ex,
suse given by most daIrymen for not
keeping complete record Of their
herd is that they cannot AFFORD to do
80, because It takes so much time and
because labor is scarce.

Failures In Dalrylns.

To make fair profit, milk must be
produced at the lowest possible cost.
To do this. the dairyman must know
the returns from each COW in the
herd It is not enough for him to
know how much milk each COW pro-
duces. but he must know the amount
and cost Of the feed eaten to produce
this milk. II the dairyman falls to
get this information he is not likely
20 find daIrying as profitable as he
had expected. The result will often
be that he will condemn the business,
and say that Florida is no place for
dairylng, as there is no money in It.
The real cause Of the failure, Is. how
ever, the poor method OF conducting
the business.
