What the Cow Does.

Most potent of all single influences in
the building of this mightiest nation in
history is the COW. Her sons drew the
plows which first cultivated the land OF
the new world; hauled to market the
products of the field, and with slow
energy moved the chattels and house
hold goods beyond the mountains In new
homes in the farther west.
They supplied the beef which Is the
food of the Anglo Saxon, race that was
never conquered since history began.
They furnished the shoes of the pio-
neers who trod the unknown. wilds and
made of them the farmsteads and cities
of our present enlightenment. They
gave the clothes and robes to protect the
pioneer against the destroying blasts of
winter and made commerce possible be-
fore the railroad was. They covered
the chair upon which he sat, filled the
mattress upon which he slept, and glued
together the furniture he used.
The old COW is the mother OF the
whole bovine, and foster mother Of hall
the human race. From the roadside
weed she manufactures the most nour-
ishing of human foods. She Is the ready
aid of the farmer, the pet of the rich
man and the ever present help OF the
poor. She is the economist OF the peo-
Die and the conservatOr of their re.
sources. She partakes of the grass ol
the field and leaves the farm the richer
for her presence. As she helped to de.
velop the farm from the wilderness, and
as she ate of its first fruits, so she will
renew the life of the soil and make
still greater agriculture possible.
In all our history the cow has been
mans closest friend and benefactor.
Upon her products are built the grea'
business interests which center in tht
stockyards, the creameries, the shoe fac
tories, the harness shops and the mills
Without her, Chicago would be village
and Kansas q prairie waste.
Take away the cow and our bank!

the wheels of commerce would cease tt
turn. Foster and care for her and busi
ness flourishes, the fertility OF the sol
| is conserved, and she becomes the Gus
todian of the nations prosperity.-F. ID

An Odd Concrete House.

A summer house Of concrete in q

straw hut. and it is said that the illu'

What you are going to miss most when
you move to town after spending the
greater part Of your life on the farm, Is the
neighbors. You may possibly get many
comforts, find many pleasures, but you
will never, never, be able to make up for
the dear old neighbors. You're going to
be lonesome, take my word for 1t; and
there will never be any friends like the
old ones.
