There is nothing calculated to check
milk flow in a dairy COW more effec-
tually than being chased around q yard
by cursing, loud mouthed man or
boy and being ever and anon pounded
over head or rump with club or milk
stool Not long ago we saw a pretty
likely looking heifer put through this
kind Of mill by couple of little heath
ems, whose treatment would be suffi-
sour milk or no milk at all. 1t may
suffice TO say that the father of these
boys wasn't in the dairy business for
profit or he would have got busy on
the boys with a big Stat.

SOME FALSE ECONOMIES.

Some Of the worst blunders that are
made by tillers of the soil and those
engaged in animal husbandry are the
result Of practcing shortsighted I'M
tisl economies-the attempt 10 save in
first cost followed by increased losses
later on. To this class of economies
belong the purchase Of scrub or cheap
grade sires for the dairy or beef herds,
the use of poor seed on high priced
land when good seed costing half
more would give three times the crop
return, the use Of WORKOUT and dilap-
idated machinery and tools when
money would be made by the use Of
those new and up TO date, the plod-
ding along in the same old rut in the
dairy without Babcock tester or cream
separator when money could be made
by the use Of both, the refusal 10 buy
a manure spreader or other labor saw
ing devices which would make posi-
BILE a maximum utilization Of the vari
Gus farm, resources and. lastly. the
use Of the old. played out fuel vast
ing stove and furnace when the new
would do vastly better work at a mini
mum consumption Of fuel.
This is but partial list Of false
economies, but enough have been men-
TONED 10 suggest a profitable line Of
thought. This fault may be summa-
rized in the statement that the trouble
lies in holding the copper or nickel so
perspective Of the real value Of things
and obscures the distant dollar or eagle
that might be made were a more in
telligent and enlightened policy adopt
ed.

If the truth were known it would
probably come to light that the in
creased cost Of living Is due to sub
stantial increase in freight and express
rates as well as TO perceptible infla-
ton OF the circulating medium and
scarcity Of some staple food supplies.
This advance in transportation rates
has been very quietly made, but the
increase has been considerable. and the
middleman and distributor in order
to come out whole has had to add this
advance 10 the prices he had been pre-
viously asking for his goods, which
were already high.

OF all shortsighted initial economies
there is none worse than the buying
of runty and unthrifty fruit trees just
because they can be got cheap and

age. II is the start tree gets, as in
the case Of calf or a pig, during the

utility as horticultural thing, and
hence every reasonable precaution
should be taken TO see that the choice
of the young trees as well as the care
given should be of the best.

Where the pruning of the orchard
has been neglected and the putting Of
the tree in proper shape would neces-
state very heavy cutting Of surplus
branches il is well to do part Of the
work one season and complete il the
next instead Of doing It all up at one
time. as ones natural inclination often
is. Spreading the job out over two
or even three seasons relieves the tree
of a shock that often results in per-
manent injury. OF course this refers
chiefly to pears and apples, for the
peach stands far heavier pruning than
either without injury.
