] Grading Up the Dairy Herd.

Systematic grading up of our coin-
mon stock with a pure bred male from
large producing ancestry will result i'll
highly profitable dairy herd in five to
seven years. says the Kansas Farmer
The greatest improvement should re-
suit in the first cross, and we are CON
fident the right kind of sire will in
crease the milk yield of first generation
so per cent over the yield Of the best
common cows. The percentage named
Is conservative. We have seen in
stances in which the increase was 100
per cent in the heifer's first milking
This, of course, is unusual. but a 80
per cent increase should not prove in
the least disappointing. BY the use of
the right kind Of sires the milk and
butter fat yield of each succeeding
generation can be increased with alb
solute certainty.

GETTING RESULTS
ON THE DAIRY FARM
Good Feed and Pure Water
Essential to Success.

Dairying, in my opinion, is among
the best paying propositions for any
farmer il properly handled, writes n.
j. Nelson in the American Agricultur-
ist Those having sufficient acreage
to raise their own feed, of course, can
make 1t more profitable than he who
must buy. For my part, l raise all |
need and a little besides, especially
when the crops are good. A milk COW
needs to be well cared for in order to
produce the best results. A good,
warm, we'll ventilated barn in which
to be housed in the winter and plenty
of clean water and pasture during the
summer will keep her in good health
and enable her to work at her utmost
capacity.
1t has been my experience that when
milk cows are compelled to drink
dirty water during the summer it will
be apt to bring bad results in the fall
and winter. Feeding healthy animal
improper food and providing poor drink
are most certain to result in loss.
have handled milk cows as suggested
for twenty years and never have had
an animal get sick nor show any symp-

The dairyman should always endeay-

ACCESSORIES FOR
SUMMER TOILETS.
White FrlIIs and Belts DOnned
With C0Iored Costumes.

No one seems to have tired as yet of
the white accessories which have been
one of the most striking characteristics
of the earlier seasons fashions. With
colored gowns and suits white frills.
white collars and cuffs, white buttons,
white belts, even white jewelry and
shoes and gloves, as well as white hat
trimmings and white parasols, continue
to flourish. Brown linen suits and
linen suits in old Chinese blue are de-
servedly popular with such accompani-
ments
Buttons do much this summer in help
ing out colored Or colorless schemes.
collars have buttons that match the
collar in tone. Where touches of
bright color are desirable, lines of
tiny buttons repeat the hue of the WV
id Innings that appear in turned back
revers, collars and cuffs. Colored ball
shaped buttons are also continued in
favor for such purposes. On evening
gowns one finds buttons made Of
single flower or of group of little
flowers, often with pendent buds drop
ping from the center These trim skirts
and waists and often catch back drap
cries.
In coats smart styles multiply, but
few ideas that dropped out in the
spring are still among the leaders for
summer Notable among them is the
black coat of satin or chiffon lined with
white satin, which appears in the
plainly finished fiat collars and cuffs.
Such coat has no dangerous rival
when it comes to it's style and useful
ness with lingerie gowns. Bright red
coats with black belts are one of the
smart things for black gowns. A great

and belong in the Russian blouse class.

THE WATER METER SYSTEM.

A conservative and an lmpaftidl
consideration of the water meter
system as adopted by the City Goun-
Gil leads TO the conclusion that the
meter system is more in the inter
ests of the WaterWOrks Company
than it is for the general welfare.
It is scarcely believed that the com
pany would have suggested or APP
proved the meter system II II dc
not expect to derive some direct
benefit therefrom.
The city authorities should have
insisted on the maintenance OF the
system as it is by leaving it optional
with the consumer to continue the
fiat rate or the meter measure.
1t has been said that the made
quacy of the water supply for the
extinguisIlment OF fires is due to the
waste Of water from the sprinklins
of lawns, but while this in a sense
may be true, it should be borne in
mind that the present waterWorks
system was constructed to supply a
population of about fifteen thous-
and within eircumscribed area.
The rates which are enforced today
We're fixed to maintain the plant
from losses, but which, since the
increase in the area of the city and
its population, has been source of
great revenue To The company
While the city authorities were
considering the meter system as
suggested by the Waterworks Com
pany, there should have been con
sidered a revision of the rates fixed
a quarter Of a century ago which
by comparison are high and are
operative against the equitable in
terest OF the consumers.
While on its face the water meter
system is fair, it is unsatisfactory
and should be submitted to refer
endum. This suggestion is offered
to those who are not pleased with
and who do not favor the water me
ter system.

Diversified FARMING,

We read and hear a great deal about
diversified farming. This in reality is
nothing more or less than balanced
farming. This kind of farming is most
easily and successfully brought about
by the keeping of few cows and the
sale of dairy products. Cows necessa-
rily result in the growing of calves and
pigs. The chore keeping for cows,
calves and pigs will, in our Judgment
give much greater return than the
same time expended on any worked
crop.-Kansas Farmer.

The Canadian bill was an after
thought, had not been proposed in
the Republican platform. and was
stoutly opposed by a majority of
the Republican Congressman. Cen
eral tariff revision, on the other
hand, was party pledge, was de-
manded by the sentiment of both
great parties alike, and would have
been accepted by Congress. A real
revision of the tariff in 1909 would
have taken the tariff question out of
politics for some years to come,
would have spared the Republicans
their crushing defeat in 1910, would
have led to a wise national control
of great business corporations, and
would further have paved the way
for Republican victory in 1912. Yet
such, apparently, were Mr.. Taft's
political and personal preoccupations
during the strenuous weeks of tariff
revision in the spring of 1909, that
his one great opportunity to act as
the voice of the country and the
leader of his party was thrown
away. The tariff-making secured
his attention only in the final stages
when in conference committee there
was deadlock over the treatment of
lumber and several items on the
free list. The great textile sched-
.nIss bad gone virtually unEeYisej
and so has Sa%kst.af..Ge other parts
of the elaborate measure.
The President, however, signed
the bill and then went out on the
stump and proclaimed It not only as
a substantial ful6llment of the
party's promise, but as the best
tariff the country had ever enacted.
And now, in 1912, the distressed
and disturbed business interests of
this country must again go into a
quadrennial political campaign,
with the tariff question unsettled
and under agitation. The Republi-
cans Of the country showed their
dissatisfaction, at the first oppor-
tunity. by electing a Democratic
Congress- in 1910. If ever a party
had a clear call to revise the tariff,
it was the Democrats when the
present Congress effected its organ
ization, with Champ Clark as Speak
er and Oscar Underwood as Chair
man of the Ways and Means Com
mittee. The series of tariff bills |
prepared by the Democrats went
through the House by a majority
of 2 to 1. They made their way
through the Republican Senate with
a clear and substantial majority.
Those trained in the study of the
currents of public opinion in the
United States knew that the country
thought very we'll lof the tariff
bills, and desired to have them
placed upon the statute books. Mr..
Taft, however, vetoed them all.
The best public opinion of both great
parties had disapproved of his course
in connection with the Payne-Aldrich
bill. And public opinion again
unquesionably disapproved of his
attitude toward the Underwood
measures. He had approved where
he ought to have vetoed; and he
vetoed where he ought to have ap-
proved. From "The Progress of

He Chose a Gift.

dangling a silver purse from her
finger and regarding it affectionate-

Young JetsOn looked prodigiously
pleased. "You don't say so! he
remarked. beaming first on the
young woman and then on the gift
which had proved so acceptable.
''Of course" said Miss Emerson,
looking somewhat embarrassed and
trifing with the silver meshed toy,
"of course you understand that
am not in the habit of accepting
such handsome birthday presents
from my men friends. 1t is-that
is, my married sister says it is
awfully bad form and oughtn't to
be allowed.
Young Jetson frowned. "It's a
funny thing"-he began, haughtily.
eyes, indeed. that's Just what
told her," interrupted Miss Emer-
son. 'I told her that with ones

almost like brother and sister, you

Jetson's frown deepened.

of her chin, 81 know Just as much

Certainly you do, "agreed Jet

81 should have been very hurt if
you had not been willing to accept

placid recollection of past struggle,
"I'm no end grateful to you for
liking it. You see-well. to tell
the truth, I'd heard you express
yourself to the effect that a gift
was not a gift unless it was per-
sonally chosen by the giver for the
givee."
Miss Emerson nodded emphati-
cally.
And, continued young Jetson, |
eff fellow sends girl the usual |
flowers or candy he doesn't exercise |
any particular niceties of taste; do |
you think he does? He simply dives
in at the florists door and tells
him to send dozen long ones to a

back to his desk. When he wants
to get candy he sends the office boy.
That is still worse. And nobody
but an imbecile sends books to a
girl without knowing her TASTE

Emerson raising her eyebrows a
fraction of shade "that you might

"Why certainly" agreed young
Jetson hastily, "I am indeed: but
