In a recent speech. r. X. Bliss,
of Ames, brought out some IN
teresting figures in regard to the
dairy business. .
A man having cows that VIII
average 2Ss pounds each of butter
fat per annum can AFFORD TO pay
$40 per acre rent, while a man
with cows averaging 16S pounds
each of fat can only pay So per
acre rent. The 2S9 pound COW, al
lowing three acres to the COW, will
nav per cent interest on land
valued at 1882 per acre, while the
168 Mound cow win only pay the
same interest on 800 acre land.
These figures were taken from
records collected by the Pioneer
Cow Testing association, south OF
waterloo. They cover % herds
and 1877 cows. This is one OF
the hest dairy communities In the
state and the best 100 cows of the
337 averaged. 2S9 pounds each of fat
in one year and the poorest 100
cows produced 16S pounds each OF
butter fat.
z The actual cost VI A0SN ~
hest 100 cows was $SS each while
the poorest 100 cows cost $50
each. These were the actual figures
of the tester, taken each month.
The net profit above feed Of the
best 100 COWS was $50 each and
with the poorest 100 COWS $25
each.
These figures, even the lowest,
are very good when we consider
that the average production of the
Iowa cow Is estimated at 4O
pounds of fat-an estimate which,
by the way, is probably too high.

Running off with girls under your

ment and Captain Pond. of the Pennsyl-
vania Ely reviewed the troops of the
Second battalion of the 30th infantry and
a detachment of bluejackets from the

to the aviator of the gold medal of the
army
Immediately after this ceremony Ely
went up In his biplane to deliver, on be-
half of the aviation committee, an in
vitaiton to Mime. Louise retrazzini the
opera singer. to attend the meeting.
Nine. Tetrazzini according to a pre-
arranged plan. was waiting in an auto
mobile at the Engles,de golf links, about
five miles north of the aviation field.
It was Ely's Intention to act as an
aerial escort TO the diva for the rest OF
the journey to seIfridge field. btu after
reascending the aviator lost her automo-
bile through the crush of other machines
on the road
The bird man was waiting for her at
the gate, however, when she drove up
and escorted her to gaily decorated box
in the center of the grandstand, where
she was formally welcomed by the avia-
ton officials and army officials.
Beautiful exhibition flights and militia
~ exercises kept the crowd keyed up to

Where duplicates must be made
in any part of a paper pattern
instead of doing the work twice
use carbon paper and mark with
a hard pencil Thus your work is
perfectly exact, and you run nc
risk of running the garment.
Instead of using the wooden
egg darner, try utilizing your old
shoe trees. The entire form of the
foot is then taken on by the
stocking. and you can see exact
Iy where Your darn ought to go.
Another darning idea is to paint
half of your darning ball white, Sc
as to use 1t under black-footed
stockings. Oil paint, mixed with a
little turpentine, will do the work.

pLANrrNa PECANs

The Rusk County Journal says:
1t has been said by competent
authority that "the cotton crop
of Texas will sink into insignia
canoe when the pecan crop has
been developed commensurate
with it's possibilities" A very true
statement and we may add the
pecan crop win not make slaves
of the family, as does the cotton
crop. While the best cotton land
in Texas will rarely earn SIS per
acre, the pecan industry, by a
conservative estimate, win earn
over $1,000 per acre. This is not
an fextravagant statement when a
grove is planted with the grated
varieties of pecan which sell in the
northern markets at FIVE or six
times the prices obtained for the
nuts of the seeding trees.

Texas Farm and Fireside. The bet
ter the tool the more economical

1, There is an old adage that says:
1.-THE workman can not do good
work without good tools" This
applies to the farmer as wen as to
the mechanic and artisan in all
lines. 1t is not only necessary that
the farmer have good tools with
which to cultivate his crops, but he
should have good live stock-horses
or mules strong enough to make
the best use of the machinery. A

is a necessity on the farm, but the
light team is never a necessity. 1t
often becomes necessary to pillow
the soil deep. For this a heavy
pillow and a strong team are es-
sential. It may never become
necessary to pillow the lighter soil
deep but our black soils require

not imply that the cultivation of

a difference between blowing and

and cultivation refers to the care
of the crop after planting the
seeds. In most soils deep breaking
in the winter and shallow cultiva-
ton in the cropping season is the
proper treatment to get the best re-
suits. To do the best blowing and
most successful cultivation good
tools are a necessity. All success

proposition, but. they often become
careless in the selection of tools
and teams with which to pillow the
ground and to cultivate the crops.
