The cows seemed to interest her
more than any other domestic animal.
One of the cows had lost her tail
somehow and this fact led the woman
to ask why it was.
That's the sour milk cow" the
farmer explained with a straight face.
We always cut the tail off one COW

dam a mile long and nearly 40 feet

through seven miles of bitches from
the Tres Pinos and the San Benito
rivers. But squirrels are the pest and
tina menace, and a man with a gun has
to guard the dam to keep squirrels

brnaR At the dam a colony of cats
has been placed TO chase squirrels,

breeze blows the ribbons futter and
when the squirrel comes up 1t is
frightened away.-San Francisco

Comfort More Than Salary.

A man who happens to know that
stenographer who is earning
hardly more than seven dollars a week
is worth a great deal more than that
to business men who require pains
taking service was wondering the other
evening why she did not try to ad-
vance From the girls relatives it
was learned that she lacks ambition,
and that her salary with some extra
money she earns in outside work, is
more than enough for her wants More
than that, she likes her employer and
his methods Of work and does not care
to change.
In that frame Of mind the girl would
be unwise to seek a new position, for
comfort is worth something in this
life. The man who makes money his
idol forgets that and he misses most
of the sweetness of life 1t is far bet
ter to ignore the matter of salary and
work where we can be comfortable
and happy than TO earn handsome
salary under distressing conditions

HOGGING OFF CORN

Down at Hay, in the central part of
eastern Washington, Phil Cox is
farming on an extensive plan. Among
other things he raises a great deal
of corn, and has made a success of
hog&iDa off the corn-turning in the
hogs and letting them help tiNm-
selves. The Dakota Farmer recon-
menos the following system:
Probably the best system to fill
low whore the plan is adopted on the
average farm is to set aside say
twenty-five acres for hogs, and fence
into four fields of six and one-fourtn
acres each. These fields should be
soWed IN regular rotation of clov
or, corn and barley, one field each
year TO be clover for pasture, one
barley seeded to clover and the other
two planted to corn to be hogged off.
s. Oh system would provide feed
for ten soWs and their filters ard
leave comparatively little feed to be
supplied frcm other sources. Five
hundred bushels of barley and ample
clover rasturage could easily be CD
tanned on twenty-five acres thus han
died and this at the minimum of
labor. The first cost Cf fencing
Guild be high, but would be more
tlan off set in a series of years by
the saving made in having the hogs
tusk the corn.
1T should also be remembered
that under such a system the crops
of corn, barley and clover will be- the
best obtainable, for under such a ro-
tation the land will continually grow
richer. This fact will be so discern
able that we venture the assertion
that the corn grown on this twenty
five acres will in a few years out
yield by fifty per cent that grown
on the balance of the farm under
the ordinary conditions now prevail
ing in Dakota. Another advantage
is that each year the hogs are graz
ing in a new field and the danger of
their becoming infected by disease
germs is considerably lessened."
