Happiness i'm Old Age.

Long life is blessing when old
age does not bring with it the dark
ness of pessimism. The Oslerian
theory that a mans life-work IS
over when he reaches the age of co
is refuted every day by the experience
of men and women we know and hon
or. Some of the most powerful
forces in finance, in government, in
diplomacy, in the law, are past that
limit, which no man or woman need
dread.
The other day John Bigelow, 90
years old, sailed from New York for
pleasure trip Of three or four
months through Europe. Though it

ented recluse who has lived here in
howell that was once stable. for
many years. Disguised. he said. with
everything pertaining to modern life.
Bauman determined to rear his foster
son in the atmosphere of by-gone
age. The classic tongue of Rome was
the only language taught to the boy
BY his eccentric parent. who was well
able to follow his part, he having been
a noted Latin scholar In Europe
When the lad was ten years old he
possessed knowledge of Latin that
the school taught youth Of twice his
age could not hope ever to equal. Now.
he speaks the ancient tongue so well
and reads and writes 1t with such
fiuency that he may well be said to
have revived a dead language.
+ The elder Bauman's desire to bring
up the boy In an atmosphere of aloof-
ness from all that is modern has been
well carried out. The youth has never
ridden on a train, used telephone or
in any way mingled in the life of the
village. which, narrow as it is. repre-
sents to him the great outside world
full Of evils and temptations.

Tho Care Of Lambs.

At eight to ten days Of age lambs
will begin to eat. At that time
creep should be built which will give
them access to feed box containing
grain and a trough with hay. Box,
trough and feed should always be kept
sweet and clean.
A good grain ration for lambs Is
made as follows: Mix one-third part
of oilmeal with one part each Of bran,
oats and fine cornmeal. Red alfalfa
hay or the second cutting Of alfalfa
hay are the most desirable form Of
roughage. OF the two alfalfa is to be
much preferred.
1t is a good idea to keep up the
grain feed right along until the lambs
are sent to market. By so doing the
lambs are kept fat all the time and
are ready to be turned into cash on
short notice should the market take a
sudden rise.

Little Arlene was familiar with the

Her mother replied that was firemen's

In the meantime two additional flre
companies dashed up, and these newly
arrived fire fighters were carrying
their respective lines toward the bum

ration per day to sustain each 100
pounds of an animals live weight;
the dairy products and gain in live
weight are made from what feed can
be assimilated in excess of the sus-
tanning ration. Then If the 900pound
COW will produce as much dairy prod
uct In 10 years as will the 1.400-pound
COW, can we afford to carry this extra
500 pounds of live weight for term
of 10 years at cost of $500 pounds
of feed, just for the extra 500 pounds
of poor beef we would have at the end
of that time? Just the item Of extra
cost of barn room for the larger ami
NAL for the 10 years would Overhaul
ance the value Of the extra amount Of
beef. However. If there is such a
thing as practical dual-purpose COW
1t Is to be found In some of the fam
lilies Of large Jerseys.
The popular demand for large cows
made it necessary for me to carry q
family Of large Jerseys during the
last 20 years. This family Of cows
weighed from 1900 to 1900 pounds
each, but in cur families OF smaller
cows we had far greater proportion
that would make pounds of butter
per day, and they would do it on less
feed.
Last but not least in this brief sum-
ming up of the most salient excellen-
cies of the Jersey, place her beauty.
No other member of the whole bovine
family can for moment compare
with her. She is the prettiest cow
there is. Her prominent eye and ex-
pressive countenance. together with
her alert, dress-parade attitude, win
| for her the admiration of all lovers OF
the beautiful. Her capabilities In
point of looks are so great that it real
ly has to be admitted that In some
families beauty has been cultivated al
the expense Of other and more i'm
portant characteristics.

After a lifetime spent in learning
the business Of keeping cows do not
hesitate to say to the young man
reared on a farm: Farm; and II
you farm, keep stock; and IL you keep
stock, keep cows; and IL you keep
cows, keep Jersey cows" writes H. 8.
Chapman in the Breeders Gazette.
OF course, add to this, "If you keep
Jersey cows, keep registered Jersey
cows. My reasons for maintaining
that the Jersey COW is superior to all
others as butter cow are as fol-
lows:
Her ability to produce butter and
cheese economically stands undisput-
ed. Her record in many public tests.
including the Chicago, st. Louis and
Portland expeditions, has given her
the reputation, enviable and indisput-
able, of being the worlds greatest but
ter COW.
The extra size of the fat globules in
Jersey milk renders the butter of
superior grain and firmness and more
easily separated from the cream.
The Jersey COW has the function Of
assimilation developed to greater
degree than any other breed. She is
q high-grade specialist as a feeder.
She will give profitable returns from
a ration SO rich (concentrated) that
other cows can not assimilate it. 1t is
this ability to stand force-fecding that
has brought the Jersey out ahead IN
so many public tests. This is merit
of the Jersey that can probably be
taken advantage of in working dairy
herd. In the herd in which the rails
ing of stock is the primary considera.
ton would keep little closer to ma
ture, even at the risk of surrendering
to some extent the meritorious quail
ties that artificial conditions have pro
duced.
Superiority in numbers makes the
Jersey a more practical animal thar
her rivals. The animal that naturally
is matched against the Jersey Is the
Guernsey. The Guernsey has hel
good points and doubtless merits the
friends she has won. II you like
Guernseys better than Jerseys, ina
may be reason why you may succeed
better with them. l am frank to ad
NIT that my personal preference TO
Jerseys doubtless has been factor il
my success with Jerseys. But setting
aside personal likes and dislikes, 1t i
far easier for the beginner to star
with Jerseys. because so many NOR
bulls of that breed are kept than o
Guernseys. Consequently, there is ia
less excuse for inbreeding, and tn
breeder easily can find the bloodline
that he needs In his herd without tn
expense of frequently buying bull.
Another point in favor Of the Jerse
COW is her medium-small size. E,
periments have proved that 1t n
quires about 2 pounds Of balance
