We print below II tribute to his mem
Dry. He was connected with the Indian
service when w. A. Jones was com
missioner Of Indian affairs, and here Is
what Mr.. Jones says Of him, in a letter
to his sister Miss Miriam Davies
my dear Cousin 1t doe not seem
TINT there IL anything that can say to
you and your brothers that will in any
way comfort you in your bereavement.
/ have often thought myself that in
troubles of this kind II person feels rs
" he felt like being let alone in his
grief but knowing viii as intimately us
| did ! cannot resist the temptation to
add word of tribute to his pure and
noble character. Having known him
from childhood and being more or less
intimate with his life, cannot recall
n single instance when by word or deed,
he gave me the least suspicion, that
there was anything indicate or coarse
in his thoughts. He was always cheer
full and willing to join in amusement,
with TINT reservation that 1t was to be
be carried 40 far and no farther. Dur
ing the years that he was connected
with the Indian Service Mt Carlisle Pa,
Pahuska and Chiocco, Oklahoma, |
had frequent opportunities to question
his associates IA to his personal charac b.
ter and success in the schools, and
without exception the answer was, no
one in the service had II more clear
conception of his duties than VIII. He
not only did what was required Of him
by the rules Of the services, but went
much farther and devoted his time and
energy to uplifting the moral tone of
the institution with which he was con
nected, both by precept and example, -
none more pure, none more able and
more faithful in his adherence to
sound religious teachings. There is
much more that could say, but this
simply il an outline of what my con
Ception was of hla character M n
man and official. There is one thing
that sure, the world il better for
his having lived in it, and to those
who were connected with him in his
daily life, the influence Of his pure life
will be lasting Blessed with pleasing
personality and intellect clear ant
penetrating he easily without effort CT
his part attracted attention in any com
pany.

Million Dollar Increase For Wis
conSin Dairymen


Over one million dollars Il year could
be added to the income of Wisconsin
dairymeu If the quality of butter made
In the state were improved enough to
increase it's value one cent II pound,
according to Prof. q. ii, Benkendort
of the dairy school of the College of
Agriculture of the University of Wis
consin.
Better butter can be made if better
cream is secured, Prof, Benkendort
contends and he suggests that the best
method of securing better cream is
that of cream grading.
Two grades of cream are recon-
mended, one consisting of that which
has a clean flavor, contains less than
GA per cent acid and not less than -
per cent fat; aud the other grade con,
sisting of cream of fairly good flavor
with more than this acid content and
less than the fat content, Prof,
Benkendort plan is to pay less for the
poor grade and thus encourage farmers
to produce the better grade of cream.
The Improvement in the quality oi
Wisconsin butter is fully discussed 10y

SYNOPSIS.

Dan Blair the 22-yeaf-old son of the
Atty million dollar copper king of Blair
town. Mont, is q guest at the English
home of Lady Galorey. Dams father had
been courteous TO Lord Galorey during
his visit to the United States and the
courtesy Is now being returned to the
young man. The youth has an ideal girl
IN his mind He meets Lily. Duchess Of
Breakwater, beautiful widow, who is
attracted by his immense fortune and
takes a liking to her. When Dan was
boy, a girl sang a. solo at a church. and
loreys. Lily and Dan attend London
theater where one Lefty, Lane is the star.
Dan recognizes her as the girl from his
town. and going behind the scenes intro
duces himself and she remembers him.
He learns that Prince Poniotowsky is
sutton and escort to Lefty, Lord Ga
lorey and friend named Ruggles deter
mine to protect the westerner from Lily
and other fortune hunters Young Blair
goes to see Lily; he can talk of nothing
but Lefty and this angers the Duchess.
The westerner finds Lefty III from hard
work. but she RECEIVERS and Ruggles and
Dan invite her to supper. She asks Dan
to build a home for disappointed the
atrical people Dan visits Lily, for the
time forgetting Lefty. and later an
nounces his engagement to the duchess,
Lefty refuses to sing for an entertain
ment given by Lily. Galorey tells Dan
that all Lily cares for Is his money, and
1t Is disclosed that he and the duchess
have been mutually in love for years.
Lefty sings, at an aristocratic function.

and at regular intervals, twice day.
Clover, COW peas or soy bean hay,
corn silage, turnips, sugar beets, and
some well cured (not moldy) corn
fodder may constitute the greater por-
ton of the bulky ration, together with
grain ration of corn, oats, bran,
and a small percentage of linseed oil
meal or cotton seed meal -
1t is best to mix these grains to-
gether, but If any are to be fed alone
let it be oats.
Corn alone will prove unsatisfac-
tory, as 1t has tendency to weaken
the lambs and lessen the flow Of
milk.
Be sure to have sufficient feeding
room, as the danger from crowding
and pushing when ewes are heavy
with lamb is very great and likely to
cause some cases of abortion.
In conclusion 1t may be said that
every dead lamb or eve means loss
Of about five dollars to the owner. and
1t behooves him to give the best at
tention to his flock during the lamb
ing season.

"Ra-ther!" The duchess tone was
so warm that he asked frankly: We'll,
why didn't you speak to her Lily?'
And the directness caught her unpre-
pared. The insult to the actress by
which she had planned to teach him a
lesson failed to give her the bravado

deliberate. unkind, seemed worse and

CHAPTER XIX.
Dan Awakes.

The next night Dan, magnetically
drawn down the Strand to the Gaiety.
arrived just before the close Of the
last act, slipped in, and sat far back
watching Lefty Lane close her part.
After hearing her sing as she had the
afternoon before in the worldly group.
it was curious to see her before the
public in her flashing dress and to
realize how much she was a thing OF
the people. Tonight she was COM
pletely personal element to Dan. He
could never think of her again as he
had hitherto. The sharp drive through
the town that afternoon in her motor
had made a change in his feelings.
He had been hurt for her, with anger
at the duchess of Breakwater's rude
ness, and from the first he had always
known that there was in him hot
championship for the actress. To-
night, whenever the man who sang
with her put his arms around her.
danced with her, held her, 1t was an
offense to Dan Blair; it had angered
him before, but tonight 1t did more.
One by one everything faded out of
his foreground but the brilliant little
figure with her golden hair, her lovely
face, her beautiful graceful body, and
in her last gesture on the stage before
the curtain went down, she seemed ia

DAIRY PLANS OF
DANISH FARMER
Great Aim Is to Keep Largest
Number of Efficient Cows
Possible on Given
Area.

The aim of the Danish farmer is to
keep the largest number of efficient
| cows possible on a given area, COW
| to 21a acres or less. Enough young
stock is raised to keep the herd sup
piled with cows.
From their feeding of oil cake and
| meal and the stall feeding Of green
crops, an immense amount of manure
of fine quality is made, and with their
careful methods of outstanding the sol
IDS in covered manure pit and the
| liquids in a cistern, and applying in
small quantities at frequent intervals
during the rotation, the producing pow
er of their land is increasing from
| year to year.
The price of cows is from $50 to
| 500 Only the best heifers are raised
and with the record of the dam and
the quality of the sire known, their
selection is comparatively simple,
The soiling crops used are rye, oats
and peas, oats and vetch and clover
and grass These are hauled to the
barn and fed green, or pastured off by
lettering the cows along the edge.
In the cool European countries the
selling season of the crop is much
longer. The cows are seldom turned
to pasture in Denmark, but tethered
| by means of a halter on the head and
rope or chain twelve to twenty feet
long, which is attached to ten-inch
pin driven into the ground.
Water is hauled twice day to. the
tethered COWS. Many small dairymen
take the cows to the stable to be
MIXED three times day.
The cows are moved five times a
day from three to six feet depending
upon the amount of feed.
Thus the crops are grazed off even
when two or three feet high without
waste from tramping. This is the
Danes chief point of economy in the
summer feed
| Practically no grain is fed while the
cows are on grass. A few dairymen
feed little oil cake to their best
mixers.
| They are stabbed all winter, fed all
the straw they will eat and on the av.
erage of four pounds Of hay, 40 to 100
pounds of roots and about six pounds
of grain per day, consisting of oil
cake, bran. barley and oats.

Blair to call him and distinctly to
make an appeal to him.
You might rest your weary feet
If you came tor Mandalay."
Well, there was nothing weary
about the young, live, vigorous Amer
lean, as, standing there in his dark
edge of the theater, his hands in his
pockets, his bright face fixed toward
the stage, he watched the slow falling
Of the curtain on the musical drama.
Dan realized how full of vigor he was;
he felt strong and capable, indeed a
feeling of power often came to him
delightfully."-, but it had never been
needful for him to exert his forces, he
had never had need to show his met
tie. Now he felt at those words:
You might rest your weary feet"
how, with all his heart, he longed that
the dancer should rest those lovely
tired little feet of hers, far away from
any call of the public, far away on
some lovely shore which the hymn
tune called the coral strand. AS he
gazed at her mobile, sensitive face,
whose eyes had seen the world, and
whose lips-Dan's thoughts changed
here with a great pang, and the close
Of all his meditations was: Gosh, she
ought to rest!"
