At the agricultural experiment sta
tjon are two COWS. the story OF whose
work is well worth telling. They were
brought up alike On a farm near FL

cation in the same herd OF 100 COWS.

same surroundings and equal oppof-
trpities they have drifted apart III

in oDpOsite directions. 1T IS not d
difference Of hide, or horns, or teih-
nor. # is not that one is wild ana
tna other a pet. It is not a adherence
Of beauty or intelligence. but solely
q difference in the way tHeN Ha'e
worked. a difference in the money they
have earned for the owner.
All the milk of these COWS has peeh
weighed and tested for three years. A
record has been kept of every pouno
Of feed consumed by each amman,
both summer aud winter.
Each year Gold produced on the
average 11.390 pounds Of milk. con-
tanning 4O5 pounds Of butter fat, but
during the same time Gilt averaged
only $40 pounds OF milk, with l3S
pounds of butter fat.
These cows were both cared for in
the same way: they were given the
same kinds Of feed n allowed to eat
all they wanted. Gold ate one-hail
more than Gilt. but produced nearly
three times as much milk.
EQUAL amounts of feed made in the
one case 1873 pounds of butter fat and
in the other 100 pounds. The one COW

HOW TO MAKE THE SOIL PAY.
Essential Principles That Must Be
Understood i'm the Work OF Building
Cp Il Profitable Dairy Business.
(BN j. Milton Kelly. New YnrI

(By j. Milton Kelly, New York.
Farmers may be divided into two
classes. First, those who may be
termed SPECIALISTS: who believe in
making some one branch Of farming
their speciality, so as to be able to
study that one branch and know it
thoroughly, and. secondly, those who
believe an income may be expected.
so, that il one source fails they will
have something else to fall back upon
The specialist by concentrating his
attention has d better opportunity to
thoroughly learn his business and be-
come an expert, SO to speak. It's weak
point is that he has but one source of
income, which if his speciality be po-
tatOes. for instance, is quite apt to
prove a failure and may result in
serious losses if he has invested too
much. The man h makes one crop
a speciality must have capital enough
to enable him to carry on his bust
ness for a number Of years, so that
the loss of one years crop would not
cause him to sink his fortunes
The strong point Of diversified
farming is that it is safe. If one crop
fails YOU probably have another which
will help you out. It's weak point is
that il you follow a number of
branches Of farm work you will no.
have a thorough understanding Of
each branch and cannot expect the
best results.
A well-managed dairy farm COM
bines both the strong points of special
lied farming and also the strong points
of diversified farming, and yet it has
| none Of the weak points Of either.
The dairyInan can make a specially
Of hat one branch Of the business
that the farm is best adapted to and
| study and learn how to get the very
best results, and at the same time
have a business that is safe for the
| reason that he can diversity his crops
by following a rotation that will build
I'M his soil and afford foo for his
dairy cows.
The dairyInan who has saved and
anpl;ed all of the manur crop is not
compelled to pay out a large amount
of money every spring for a few tons
of commercial fertilizers to stimulate
his soil to produce profitable crops.
He can grow and feed those crops
that enrich his fields instead Of ex-
hausting their fertility. Glover, al
| falfa and the other legumes that will

Avoid Round Shoulders,

Are you letting yourself sag a bit
at the shoulders? Don't, II you want
to keep either young or well. There is
nothing so fatally easy as to grow
round-shouldered. Keep sharp
watch on yourself to prevent it. Each
morning stand up against the lamb
Of a door and see II you have begun
to sag. Also walk around your room
each day with a piece Of broomstick
or short umbrella under your arm and
brought across the back. This keeps
the chest up and head well poised.
Deep-breathing exercises, whenever
you think of them, will help ward off
those round shoulders, also making a
practice to work with the chest up.
This last is the simplest of all pre-
ventives, for If it is always practiced
the rest will follow. t'E.~
