Improving the Dairy
Herd.

La an address before the farmers
institute at Tonga 4oxie, Kan, last
fall, Fl. V. Needham, dairy farmer
who is really mako Z money, SAID
that within few years he would
have a herd averaging 10000 pounds
milk per COW per year. TO ac-
complsh this he will continue to
breed and select as in years past.
fIe said: "Let nae refer to Professor
Giiman's corn ia k last spring. You
will remember that he showed US
ears OF corn that looked equally good,
aud yet seed from one ear yielded
over 100 bushels per acre, while seed
from the other ear yielded less than
10 bushels per acre. This same re-
/ markable variation is found In the
animal kingdom, and the sklllful
breeder asses these remarkable an
imals Of both sexes to breed better
COWS, and to fix these fine character
istics In the progeny.
"Not every one of the heifers we
raise will prove extra. Some may
not be profitable. Some Of the an
cestors of the bulls have owned may
have been medium or even inferior
0 nimals, and the inferiorIy may crop
somewhere, but / shall work On this
line getting the best bull can afford.
ct takes time, you may say; yes,
of course 1t does but l had rather die
striving for the best things, than TIC
just plug along 10 the same old round
and rut until withered up into moth
ingness. Every step the farmer takes
in bettering his condition, In improv
ing his mental faculties and executive
ability, brings him that mach nearer
the day of his independence when he
can compel the recognition Of his just
claim from every man or class OF men.
ITO still further improve the dairy
herd, l will say that the dairyman
ought to be improved. His thinker
needs improving. He needs to study
not only cows but feeds and how to
grow aud cure them. He needs to
learn how to make four blades OF
grass grow where one grew before,
for it can be done. He and his wife
need to learn the righteousness Of the
'Fhou shalt not steal.
1t would improve his reputation and
add to his profits in the outcome"

Moving to Town.

Mrs. Dick Browns Madonna like
face wore an unusual expression OF
gloom and anxiety. She was tall aud
strong and brown and a gentlewoman
and h friends said 1t was no wonder
Dick was crazy" about her. She
loved everyone Ia the neighborhood,
except old Red Henderson, who
was cruel to his horses, and to his
wife and his hoy and him she hated
with a great and uncompreherdlng
hatred, hated him because she loved
the meek and gentle things he abused.
She was essentially Madonna, the
loving mother to all the world, and
there was no one ia the township but
had known the gentleness of her care
In illness, or the helpfulness of her
sympathy In trouble. Out of her
busy life, somehow, she found time
to spare when anyone needed her.
And whether it was wild Bill Dickens,
who rode his sweating horse up to her
back door, or poor old Father Billings
who sent word to her periodically
that he was dying-wboever 1t was,
she found her joy In minlstering TO
them and easing their troubles.
But it was not Bill, nor was 1t
Father Billings who worried her tc-
day. 1t was, in fact, shat husband OF
hers, restless. hard-workinF, unlutk Ky

figure, and his bonny blue eye, aud
his sharp voice, and his love and his
ambitions. Yes, that was it, his am
billions! Where would they lead him?
Where would they lead them both?
He was so anxious to be rich, so rest
less at his slow success, that he was
about to abandon the farm. Think
of it'll To abandon the farm, that
place which they both loved, their
first home together, where they had
toiled and r, joiced and dreamed to
gether where the little child of their
hopes had lived and left them. An!
she could not leaye 1t. And to go to
town, into the grocery business! He
would die In town, and she knew IT,
working himself TO death as II was
his nature to do, and getting no re-
ward but falurs-and 50 forth and
so forth. You Know how woman
talks when she is blue.
She was feeling very tTagical, when
she heard the sound of wheels. Look
ing out, she saw Tommy Henderson,

one is to be proud of it for a life
