CHANCE TO ACQUIRE AFFINITY
Atchison (kan.) Woman Has an In
cumbrance She Is Willing to
Part With.

If there is any woman in this town,
or in any other, who sees her affinity
in my husband, this is to notify her
that she can have him by calling at
my home, the Hilltop, Atchison, Kan,
at any hour she may choose. He grum-
bles at his meals, he blows his nose
into the CRATE, he puts his feet on the
parlor chairs and his head OF the par
lor cushions; he tells callers that his
father was a poor man, and that he
never had any schooling" he contra
diets my statements when l tell of my
kinship to the real prominent people,
and If I don't watch him he visits"
with the hired man, and once asked
the milkman to dinner! If there is
any woman who sees her affinity in
HIM, let her hang around my house a
few minutes while l ask him for
Christmas money. Then let her take
him away if she still wants him.-Mrs.

A very aged Englishman many years
ago gave this advice to his daughter
in a letter as to what a lady's dressing
table should contain:
The best beautifier a young lady can
use is good humOr. The best renOvator
Is temperance; the best ~lip-salve is
truth; the best rouge is modesty; the
best eyewater is the tears of SYM

is cheerfulness; the best wash for
smoothing wrinkles is contentment;
the best cure for deafness is attention.;
the best mirror is reflection, and the
whitest powder is innocence.

of the Washington State Dairymen's S
association is now in session in Lyn-
den, and probably a hundred or more
delegates from all over the state are
present
Meetings are being held in JAM
iesons opera house. The first session
was called to order Wednesday at 10
o'clock by President Langdon, of
Sumner.
Fl. H. Jameson represented the
business men of Lynden and the
dairymen of this section in extend
ing welcome, that was neat and
humorous.
Prof. Nystrom was selected as act
ing secetary of the association.
President Langdon's address was an
able and scholarly address. He knows
the problems of dairying, and those
he has rot solved he is not afraid 10
recent visit to Wisconsin where ne
investigate many dairy farms. He
believes that the most important cf
the great problems now before the
dairynen is the improving of the
quality of their products, the increas-
ing of the amount of their products,
and the education of future leaders of
dairymen.
He declared that not one out of 10
dairymen knew whether their cows
were paying or not. He urged that
thev all learn to keep records SO
they would know. He declared that
it would pay to sell few cows to
make less wcrk SO the dairyman
would have time to keep records.
He said wien he started dairying
he fig.red that many average cows
was what he wanted. He soon found
it didn't pay. Then he set his stand
ard at S00lbs. to the COW. The U. S.
average is $50 lbs. He found that
when COW gave less than $50 lbs

for the mending of the evils not COM
planned of, such as the excessive pro-
fits demanded by middle men. He de-
clared that when We got our girls in
terested in becoming a farmers wife
We would get our boys interested in
becoming farmers. Nothing but edu-
cation would do that.
Dr. Nelson declared that farming
was becoming an exact science, and
that the reason there were SO many
failures at it was because the present
farmers We're not scientists. In closing
an excellent talk he made this epi-
gram:
'The big business of the coming
age is that of feeding the multitudes.' =
In the afternoon A. w. LSngdon,
son of President Langdon read a pape
on Can Dairying be Made to Pay? ~
and proved that it could The way
to do it is to think for the cows, and
know your cows. Mr.. Langdon has
put in two years in agricultural col
lege and that education together With
his experience on the farm gives him
a lot Of usefu, information. His whole
argument ewas to induce the dairy
men to ke.ei. records, feed scientifical-
" and breed scientifically.
He gave the menus of several big
dairies in Wisconsin, telling just what
feed was fed, the exact proportion and
the cost. Here was one feed that
cost - cents Gay-ad lbs. silage, 5
lbs. bran, 3 lbs. gluten and 10 or Il
