or kick or talk back. ....
On an area of 1000 square miles
Belgium supports population of over
1000 900 people, Were any one Of,

Many native milk COW is cheap at
$50 or $40 as producer of butter fat.
while many another, possibly better
bred, would be costly investment at
$40. 1t is not a cows appearance, but
the cash margin lying between total
annual returns from her products and
the cost of her feed, that determines
her worth as factor in the dairy.
Contracting ones crop year in ad-
vance is advantageous sometimes, and
at other times it is not. The western
hop grower, notably in the Willamette
valley, in Oregon, who year before last
thought he was saving his bacon by
contracting his crop at cents per
pound, is at present gnashing his teeth
when he sees prices mounting to from
20 to 25 cents. He will know better
next time.

The job of basting the roasting fowl
may be simplified if it is not supplied
with good coat of natural fat if
slices Of salt pork are stuck on to the
legs and breast with toothpicks. the
melting fat serving the same purpose
as the basting and preventing the up

The boy and girl will give fair fn-
dication Of the kind of grown folks
they will be by the kind of reading
they do in their spare hours. The kind
of reading they. will do will depend to
quite an extent upon the kind Of books
placed in their hands, whether inspir-
ing, stultifying or positively pernicious.
It is at this point that the good judg-
ment of the parents should come in
and where Il very heavy responsibility
rests with them for what they do or

other day that he was nearly mobbed
once for making suggestion in Il
meeting of the patrons Of creamery
of which he was director that q res
olution be passed requiring all cows
supplying cream to the creamery be
tested for tuberculosis. He added that
as q result of using the buttermilk
from this creamery for his pigs about
half Of them were infected with tuber-
culosis as a result of eating it. It does
not require great stretch Of tmagina-
hon to suppose that the conditions
here referred to could be duplicated |
IN thousands Of places all through the
larry sections.
