Beauty in Everything.

fRev. Frederick E. HopkinS]
How fortunate and happy and useful
a man is who cultivates the habit Of
seeing something beautiful in every
tilinx-Hho does not permit the cares
or dangers OF life to fill his eyes, as Il
were. with dust, One thinks of Cyrano
de Bergerac going calmly forth to en-
counter a hundred men armed to Kill
his friend or himself, or both. He
asks for assistance from no one. He
stands for a moment in his doorway
in silent communion with the sublllni-
ties OF the night What a beautiful
moonlight night Is all that ten thou
sand ordinary folks would have said
II under the circumstances they could
have forgotten their own personal az
fairs long enough to have seen that
much. Cyrano says: "Ah. Paris floats
IN dim nocturnal mist The sloping
blush roofs are washed with moon
light. Yoncer. like a mysterious magic
mirror, glinlmers the Seine" What
lesson such glorious optim1st brings
to the pessimist.
There are but few infidels in this
country, and the amazing thing is that
there are any. Instead of having any
problem about church attendance and

Selecting q Dairy Herd.

Unquestionably farmers Institutes
and demonstration work at the agricul-
tural experiment stations have stilnu-
lated the ambition Of dairymen to i'm
prove the quality of their herds In all
the leading milk-producing states. 1t
is evident that production per COW is
on the increase. and every advance that
is made means greater profits to the
producers. Only the beginner is in po-
sition to make the most desirable selec-
tons for foundation stock for the dairy
industry There are no designs or work
laid out on the trestle board of pro-
duction, and the new additions to the
ranks of producers are at liberty.
without personal sacrifice, to make
such selections as conform to their
ideals and meet the plans that they
have arranged to develop a choice COM
mercial herd.
The dairymen that have been engaged
in the industry for several years find 1t
difficult TO make radical changes in
their equipment without suffering loss.
The dairymen attend their county in
stitutes and listen to the discussion OF
the possibilities of milk production and
mentally resolve TO adopt the improved
methods of selection and management
OF cows.
one nsurmountable obstacle con-
fronts many of the milk producers. par
ticularly many Illinois dairymen. in
building up permanent highly pro-
ducing herd and that is the custom of
buying springers and after the season
selling them TO the butcher to be re-
placed with new purchase. This lack
OF continuity OF endeavor and random
maintenance OF dairy herd bars the
way 10 the development OF plant or
extra producers. This Kaleidoscope
system OF rapid changes in dairy herds
prevents the organiza ton of herds of
great performers. Not only are the
rapid changes in herds derogatory TO
the achievement Of the greatest possi-
bilities in milk production. but are
among the greatest mediums of carry
ing or diss eliminating bovine diseases.
There are choice cows of all milk
breeds. even the milking strains of the
Shorthorn beef bred. which produces
some great performers. The recognized
breeds are the Guernsey. Holstein.
Jesey and Ayrshire. all breeds that have
high records as milk producers. 1t 4,
only a matter of sentiment which breed
the beginner selects to exploit. as the
best strains OF all the registered milk
breeds are prolific with historic records
of great producers.
The great trouble with dairymen Is
their ambition to start gigantic plants.
rather than operate paying herds. The
beginner can commence with a reg
istered bull and a few choice reg
istered heifers and gradually develop
a Thoroughbred herd of any proportions
to meet his laudable ambition 10 excel
in the milk producing industry.
