better agents for renting furnished

out the desirable features with persua-
sive and dulcet insistency and suggest
remedies so simple and practical for
the undesirable things that any man
and most women would be keen to be-
gin on the suggested doing over" Ev
cry woman is really at heart a borI
homemaker. Like a bird, she has the
nest building instinct, and the house
ruled and run by a woman, married or
single, has a charm and subtle refine
ment that other houses have not un-
less the man is an artist or has artistic
tendencies. A man mostly longs to be
comfortable and If comfortable vii,
cheerfully enjoy quite hideous sur
roundings, just so that no one touches
his pipe or his papers or "tidies up
the other belongings that crowd his
den. Sometimes he will feel vaguely
dissatisfied on coming back to dreary
bachelors apartment after dining well
in some gem of home, but he always
consoles himself by the thought that
any alterations for style would cause
him to lose some of his comfort.

Buvinu a Cow,

When / started out to replace our
herd l had nothing to rely upon but
my poor Judgment, and the only thing
that saved me from almost total fail
ure was that found lots of men who
did not know much more about their
own cows than / did, never having
tested them in any way.
For instance. l found a man in
Winthrop who offered me a small
four-year-old COW for $26. and a two
year-old that had just dropped a calf,
for $12, which was so very cheap
took them. The heifer is now four
years old, and will make when this
year is out about 225 pounds OF but
ter. The COW failed to get in calf for
a long time. went dry four months
and got very fat and dropped her first
calf last Jan. Is. She had given 5,929
pounds of milk that tested 6.8 per
cent. butter fat and dropped another
calf Nov. 25, after going dry only four
weeks; If nothing happens to her she
is going to make considerable more
than five hundred pounds Of butter in
the year and dropped two calves in
the time.
To Offset that / paid another man
$40 for a COW that had just dropped a
calf and looked perfection itself.

ing happened TO her, but If had given
him the $40 and left the COW with him

She gives a fairly good mess Of milk
when fresh. but soon begins to fall
off and goes dry half the year.
Some OF. our new herd are far ahead
of any of the old, and some are as far
behind; they will average about the
same. One Of the new ones has gone
to the butcher and others will follow
as soon as they are ready. When the
year is out we shall publish the re
suits realized from the herd. Now

Throughout the Union in these

overalled for slaughter; the house
wife and children quivering for the
sound of the squeal and subsequent
series of mortuary grunts which

always of note; the tenderest of the

these are the finest annals of the

velops a decreasing interest in the
hog. A persistent diet of bacon and
eggs throughout the year is not like
ly to beget a high opinion of the
porker towards the end of spring.
The food made of the hog and
the chicken is that of which the
people do not seem to tire. On ship
board, in the camp, in the choicest
cafes, bacon is always in demand
for breakfast and chicken for din
ner. And the eating habits of these
two esculent animals are not dain-

their meat is delicious.
The odd thing about it all is that

Then another course of concrete was
put above this and so on until the de-

concrete hardened the boards were re-

Professor Van Norman explained
the scope of a cow-testing associa-
tion. The purpose is to have all the
cows of each member of the associa-
tion inspected by an expert once
every month in the year; to have her
product weighed and tested as to
richness and a record made of the
exact cost of her feed, so that the
farmer can tell beyond question
which of his cows he is getting a
profit from, and from which, if any
he is getting no profit. at all.
Farming on Business Basis.
The subject was discussed quite
extensively, and many questions were
asked and answered as to the details
of the plan, the cost and so forth
Professor Van Norman said that two
such associations are now in success
full operation in Pennsylvania, one
in Centre county and one in Chester
county.
The formation of such organiza-
tions he said is step toward placing
farming on a business basis. In 9TH
er lines of business the man knows
just what he is doing. He knows
what each branch of his business
costs and what it brings in. The
farmer does not, generally speaking
He might very likely make more
money from six cows than he is
making from ten, and Professor Van
Norman believes that the small cost
of such an association would be an
excellent investment for every
farmer.
The immediate result of the meet.
