returns at night with a full udder.
After being milked she returns and
works In the same diligent manner
until morning: but the COW with a
dull. sluggish eye. so often found in
beef steers. and carrying an excess OF
fat. can. as a rule. be found lying in
the shade and resting most Of her
time day or night. and as a result
she has very little to give to her mas
ter at milking time.
Ability All Important.
As fifth consideration, the COW
must have In addition to these pre-
ceding essentials the ability of pro-
ducing milk and butter fat and this,
Of course. Is determined largely by
the size. form and texture OF the I'D
der. This portion OF her makeup
must be large in order to have ca
pacity and must gain In size by length

what /, Old Ao.,

This Is Walt Mason's story: A few
days ago an aged man was planted In
a little Kansas cemetery. That he
was highly thought OF was evidenced
by the long cortege that followed the
plumed hearse to the city OF rest.
Friends stood by the open grave and
shed real tears. yet none OF them
would have called him back 20 life had
that been possible. for he had died of
old age and consequent inhrmitles.
The toll and tribulations of seventy
Ave years had battered him down, and
for long time before his death he
merely went through the motions OF
living.
"He was an old. old man." said the
mourners as they turned away from
the grave when the clods had been
heaped upon the coffin lid
Ills age wasn't hurting him any"
responded querulous voice. 1t came
from a white haired man who stood
by the newly made grave leaning upon
stick The speaker was the dead
mans father He was ninety eight
years old.
