and, to illustrate how little judicious
forethought would eliminate to a great
extent the sufferings that even small
insects are subject to, said:

CHAPTER XVII

How Tom Gordon had informed him
self OF the precise day and train Of
their home coming Ardea did not think
to inquire. But he was on the plat
form when the train drew In, and was
the first to welcome them.
She was quick to see and appreciate
the changes wrought in him, by time
by the Boston sojourn. by the sum-
mer's struggle with adverse men and
things-though OF this last she knew
nothing as yet 1t seemed scarcely
credible that the big. handsome young
fellow who was shaking hands with
her grandfather. helping Miss Euphra-
STA with her multifarious belongings,
and making himself generally useful
and hospitable. could be a later rein
carnation Of the abashed school, boy.
Not word for me, Tom?" she said.
when the last OF Cousin Euphrasia's
treasures had been rescued from the
impatient train porter and added to the
head on the platform.
"All the words are for you-or they
shall be presently" he laughed. Just
let me get your luggage out of pawn
and started Deer Traceward. and I'll
talk you to a finish"
She stood by and looked on while he
did IT,. Surely. he had grown and ma
turcd In the three broadening years!
There was conscious manhood. effec-
tiveness. In every movement: in the
very bigness OF him. She had little
attack of patriotism. saying to herself
that they did not fashion such young
men In the Old World.
Nanny Juliet's grandson. Pete, was
down with the family carriage, and he
took his orders from Tom touching the
bestowal of the luggage as he would
have taken them from Major Dabney.
Ardea marked this. too, and being
Southern bred. wrote the Gordon name
still little higher on the scroll of es
TEEN. When Pete had done his office
with the European gatherings of the
party the ancient carriage looked like
a van, and there was scant room in
side for three passengers.
That means us for old Longfellow
and the buggy" said Tom 10 Ardea.
Any way" said Ardea; so he put
her into the buggy and they drew IN
behind the carriage. Before they were
halfway to the iron works they had
the pike to themselves. and Tom was
not urging the leisurely horse

If any reader of this article should
ever be so unfortunate as to expert
ence the embrace of a boa constructor
it is recommended that he try to re-
lease himself by taking hold of the
creatures tail and unwinding it from
that end. It can be easily unwound in
that way, but otherwise 1t is not pos
sible. The way to kill snake is not
to attempt to crush itS head, the bones
of which are very hard, but to strike
the tail, where the spinal cord Is but
thinly covered by bone and suffers
readily from injury. 1t is the same
with an eel. Hit the tail two or three
times against any hard substance and
the eel quickly dies. The boas are
not venomous, but their fangs are suf-
ficiently powerful to seriously wound.

KEEPING TAB ON DAIRY cows
Simple Records Easily and Quickly
Made by Which Every Farmer
Knows Animals Standing.
Rv MILLER PITRvTS1


There are some things which have
been said over and over so many
times that l sometimes think it a
waste of time 10 mention them again.
but as / am travelling about the coun-
try / see so many proofs which show
that these things are not commonly
practiced that / feel as if those who
write for the farmers benefit should
try to emphasize old truths as well
as expound new ones.
We have been talking about bal
anced rations so long that it would
seem as if every dairyman would feel
the necessity of using ration which
would produce the best results, yet
doubt if five per cent of the cows of
the country are fed in the most eco
nomical manner and / often find ex-
amples of the most costly kind of
feeding, although the owners think
they are feeding at the lowest cost.
1t should be remembered that low
cost feeding is not usually the cheap
est feeding. In fact, the lower the
cost of feeding a COW the lower the
revenue from her. The economy of
feeding a given ration is not to be de-
termined by the initial cost of that
ration, but by the result it produces.
If by increasing the cost of the
daily ration 80 per cent we can in
crease the revenue any more than so
per cent all the increase above that
figure is clear profit which cannot be
charged with anything for labor or
interest on investment because these
items of cost are not increased by
the better system of feeding.
The only way to determine whether
COW pays a profit to her owner is
to keep a record of her performance as
a mixer and to know what is costs to
feed her
The cost of feeding may be very
closely Appropriated without keeping
an individual account, but to know to
any degree of certainty what she re-
turns to her owner the milk she pro-
duces must be weighed and tested
Without putting a COW to the rigid
test of weighing her milk and deter
mining it's quality, either by churning
separately or putting samples through
the Babcock tester, no one can tell
whether she is a profitable animal to
keep.
/ would be surprised to hear that
one in 100 owners of five or more cows
in this country could make any sort
of an intelligent test of her value as
a money maker.
II would be considered foolish for
a merchant to buy a barrel of sugar
without asking the cost of it and sell
ins it by guessing at the weight of
each sale.
Such a proceeding carried out in all
the lines kept in a store would spell
ruin in a short time, yet this is the
way many dairymen do business.
Keeping a record is a very simple
operation. If all the pals used in
milking are made to weigh the same,
which easily can be done, II is only
necessary to keep a milk sheet tackled
ND in the COW stable where it will be
handy.
When the cow is MIXED hang the
nail with the milk in it on the hook of
the scale, note the weight on the
sheet and when the month is ended
subtract the weight of the pail as
many times as there are weighings
and the remainder is the total weight
of the milk.

HOW TO MAKE CHEESE HOOP
Old Peck Measure Without Bottom
and With Holes Punched in
- Sides Is All Right.

For a cheese hoop, an old peck
measure, without a bottom and with
holes punched in the side for drain
age, is all right Any tin or wooden
receptacle, however, may be used The
illustration shows how the curd may
be pressed. Before placing the curd
in the hoop, line in with cheese cloth,
one piece the size of the bottom and
another around the side. Turn the
upper edge of the hoop and fasten IT
tight Then pack the curd firmly in
the hoop, and put a piece of cloth on
the upper end and hold it over tight.
Next, put a regular board on top that
will closely fit in the hoop, then put a
block of wood or stone on the board
and on the block place a rece ptacle
containing stones. Make the pressure
slight at first, but after an hour re-
arrange the cloth and make the pres
sure heavier. The pressing should be

Buttermilk or whey may profitably

YoCug calves need whole milk for
tht first few days.

easy to keep rusty pail clean.
If for any reason you are late In
feeding the calf don't give him any
more than you would if fed on time.
Be kind to the dairy COW. Beating
and kicking excites and pains her
causing her to withhold the milk from

To keep such a record requires not
to exceed two minutes a day. and If II

How Lightning Splits Trees.

Lightning makes trees explode. like
overcharged boilers. The flame of the
lightning does not burn them up, nor
does the electric flash split them like
an ak. The bolt flows through into all
the damp interstices of the trunk and
into the hollows under it's bark. All
the moisture at once is turned into
steam, which by its immediate explo-
sion rips open the tree. For centuries
this simple theory puzzled scientists,
but they have got in right at last.

Husbands and HousecIeanInu.

The reason a man wants to get as
far away from home as he can during
housekeeping is that everything looks
so desperate and it seems as if the
work never would be done. If you
would use Easy Task soap the work
would be over in less time and would
be done more thoroughly. Easy Task
isn't like the yellow soaps that leave
a lot of grease and rosin behind them;
1t makes everything sweet and clean;
and it runs the reaches away. Con-
fidentially, 1t is sure death to the "crit-
tiers" that like to nest in the bedsteads.
