Business Side Of Dairy Farming

There can be no question about
the progress which has been
made along various lines of agri-
culture in the last few years.
Through scientific breeding and
management new records have
been established for high produc-
ton in dairy animals. Many farm
crops have been improved by
plant breeding thereby making
the same land yield more abun-
dainty, while improved machin-
cry has reduced the labor and
cost of handling. These improve
ments have made farming more
attractive and profitable, but this
has been the work of experts.
What can the farmer do to make
his business more profitable?
Many of the most successful
business houses of this country
have grown from small establish
ments in spite of the keen COM
petition, their growth being due
to the business foresight and
careful management of the pro-
prietor. Cannot the average
dairy farmer increase his profits
by the same means? There are
too few who can tell, with any
degree of accuracy, how much
profit their herds yield. Owing
to the complicated nature of the
business, a complete set of books
would, of course, be correspond
ingly complicated but this is not
a sufficient reason why the bust
ness should be conducted from
year to year without any records
whatever.
Even the simplest records
would aid in locating those little
loses which are so disastrous to
any business. Not only this but
such records make the business
much more interesting.
The one record which the dairy
farmer has so often been urged
to keep is a record of the milk
and butterfat produced by the
individual animals in his herd.
Some farmers do this but there
are far too many who do not. 1t
is not difficult to keep such a rec
ord and it shows conclusively
which animals are profitable and
which are not. Anyone who un-
dertakes to feed livestock should,
of course understand the princi-
pies of feeding and how to figure
a balanced ration. Knowing the
amount of feed fed to each animal
he can easily locate those that do
not pay for their keeping. A
timebook properly kept would en-
able him to determine the total

Credit OF Intrepid New
York Man.

The bravest man in New York
made his appearance in a Broadway
store last week. He carried an emo
nous bandbox which contained an
hat in which the man want
cd what he considered an enormous
amount of money refunded. The man
was pretty mild and while looking for
some one who had the authority to
negotiate the transaction he talked
loud enough for everybody to hear
MY wife bought this hat" he said.
"She doesn't need 1t. She has already
bought three hats this spring. She
paid $35 for this e. She has never
worn it. It Just came home last night.
I can't afford to throw all that money
away and I want you to take he a
back. She wouldn't bring it down. 50
I undertook the Job Myself"
by the side Of that man Napoleon
was a cr1nging coward" said tho
young oma who had made the sale.
Imagine his founcing into a Partisan
millinery shop with q hat that no
didn't want Josephine to buy. He
couldn't have done 1t. Very few men
can. Once in a long while some poor
New Yorker with the courage OF
desperation in his heart returns mer-
chandise which he cannot afford to
buy for his wife and his audacity up
sets the whole s.cre for a month"

had a neck nearly as big as his head

Maybe So" said the dealer, so the

In less than a week he brought the
dog back.

him to slip his collar on"

both on and fasten the chain to the
back collar and he can tug away all

Little Paul had always been taught
by his mother that God had made him
and that he ought to be thankful that
he had been made 81 perfect; eyes,
ears, feet, hands and all complete.
His mother had bought a new cook
stove and Paulie was examining 1t.
He lifted the reservoir lid and looked
in. There was his picture, as natural
as life, in the water, but he was sore
ly troubled, while looking at it. When
asked, by his mother, what thet trouble
was, he said:

CHAPTER VII.
The w Box.

On the girl, Tom Fanshaw's passion
ate, stormy avowal had the effect OF
a sort of moral earthquake. 1t left
the ground beneath her feet suddenly
unstable and treacherous; it threaten
ed to bring down about her ears the
whole structure Of her life. The very
thing she had relied upon for shelter
and security against outside oubles
and dangers, was, on the instant,
fraught with a greater danger than
any Of them.
For the first few moments after his
avowal she had felt no emotion other
than that Of establishment and In
credulity. Even when he asked her
If she could not marry him, anyway,
though the question revolted her, d
told the truth in saying that h was
not angry.
The anger came later, but it burned
into a fame that was all the hotter
for its hardness in kindling. 1t must
have an outlet somewhere, and as
such, the promenade up and down the
other side Of the deck was altogether
insufficient.
The sight of a small boat at the
foot of the accommodation ladder
seemed to offer something better. So,
pulling on a pair Of fur gauntlets, she
dropped into it, cast OF the painter,
shipped the pair of light oars 1T con-
tanned, and rowed away without any
thought If her destination-of any
destination whatever; without. even,
a very clear Idea of what she was do
ing. She must do something; that
was all she knew. Certainly she pulled

not, Tom, but unless you're very care
full, you'll succeed in doing it. l don't
think / want to talk to you any
more now, not ven sit here beside
you. I'm going to take a little walk"
He held himself rigidly until till she
had disappeared round the n Of the
deckhouse. Then he bent over and
buried his face in his hands!
What the thing was that reused him
to his present surroundings he never
knew. He was conscious Of no sound,
but suddenly he sat erect and stared
aS5o1. hin in emazemeut 1t bad grown
quite dark. It must be two OF three
ho1rs since Jeanne bad 2ee. tie esair
beside him and announced that she
was going to take a little walk.
He spoke her name, not loudly at
first, for he thought she must be close
by. But the infinite silent spaces
seemed to absorb the sound Of his
voice. There was no sign hat any
s%entient thing, except his very self,
had heard the words he uttered. Then
he called louder.
The steps were rather difficult to
negotiate. but by using both hands
to supplement his one good foot. he
succeeded in creeping down them, and
then in making his way along the cor
ridor to the girls door.
He knocked family at first; then
louder, and finally cried out her name
again, this time in genuine alarm. He
tried the door, found that it was not
locked, and opening it and switching
on a light, perceived that the state
room was empty.
He heard footsteps crossing the
deck overhead. No, that could no be
Jeanne; it was a heavy tread, a curl
GUS, shutting tread.
He closed the door behind him.
Then he limped slowly down the cor
ridor toward the foot Of the compan-
ionway. The heavy tread was already
descending the stairs.
He turned the corner, stopped short
and gasped. And that was all. There
was no time even for a cry. He had
caught one glimpse Of q monstrous
figure clad in skins, huge In bulk.
hairy-faced like a gorilla.
And then, the man or beast had,
with beastlike quickness, lifted his
arm and struck. And Tom Fanshaw
dropped down at his feet, ~senseless.

away from the yachts side with no
idea tina she was running into any
possible danger.
1t was half a mile, perhaps, from
the yacht to the particular bit OF
shelving beach toward which she I'M
consciously propelled the boat. She
rowed steadily, without so much as
a glance over her shoulder, until she
felt the CRATE of the single beneath
the bow.
She became aware, not only that
she had unconsciously come ashore,
but also hat the yacht vas nowhere
to be seen. A bank Of fog had come
rolling in from the eastward, SO
heavy as 20 render al object 100
PAGES away totally invisible. The
cIump OF empty buildings here on the
beach could hardly be half hat dis
lance, as she remembered, yet looking
round from her seat in the row boat,
she could make out no more than
their blurred masses against the white
ice and sand which surrounded them.
She scrambled out of the boat and
pulled it high up on the beach. The
fog made the air seem cold, though
for the arctic 1t was a mild night.
Two Of the abandoned buildings on
the beach behind her were mere
sheds, windowless, absolutely bare,
never having served, evidently, any
other purpose than that of storage.
But the third, and largest, as she re-
membered it, offered a shelter that
was becoming attractive. There were

could rest comfortably enough; and,
unless she was mistaken, Scales had
left in the hut a half-burned candle
which they had used in exploring it's
dark interior. She had a box of wax
vestas in her pocket. She could go in
there and make herself at home, and
at the same time keep an alert a
for a hail from the yacht.
She found the candle in the place
where she remembered Scales had
laid it down. struck a light and
wedged the candle into a knot-hole
She turned toward one Of the hunks
with the idea Of stretching out there,
and by relaxing her muscles, persuade,
perhaps, her overstrung nerves to re
lax, too.
She had taken a step toward 1t, in
deed, before she saw, through the
murk and candle smoke, the thing that
lay right before her eyes-a rather
large, brass-bound rosewood box or
chest. 1t had not been here in the
afternoon when they had entered the
place, for they had searched its bare
interior thoroughly in the hope that
there might be something which previ-
Gus Investigators had overlooked. This
box, six inches high and a foot long,
or more, could not have been here
then. 1t was standing now in the most
conspicuous place in the room-in the
very middle of the bunk.
