/ Good morning, Miss Mason!" ex-
claimed MacWilliams, as he placed

eway?"
"A rather difficult errand Mr.. Mac
Williams" she replied nervously. ITO
come to the point, father told me last
night that he has become engaged to
your mother"
"Whew! Nothing slow about your
father, is there? But then they both
had the advantage of previous expert
ence. Mother hasn't seen fit to break
the news to me yet"
"Well, they've done it. and I've come
to see what you think we ought to
do about it."
II don't see that we can do any
thing" said MacWilliams obviously.
I'm fact, I'm rather inclined to say
that your father has displayed excel

To Tell Where Coins Wore Made.

Coins made at the Philadelphia mint
have no mark. but those struck at the
other United States minis have one
or more letters upon them to distin.
guish them from those made at Phil
adelphia, which for many years was
the only mint.
These letters, which are very small
capitals, are found upon the reverse
of the coins with the exception of the
new design double eagle and the Lin
coin head cent, upon which they are
on the DIVERSE
The only minis now in operation in
this country are those at Philadelphia,
San Francisco and Denver, the others
having been discontinued
Coins struck at the Philadelphia
mint have no mint mark, those struck
at all other minis of the United States
are distinguished by small letter
near the bottom; these letters are: G
for Charlotte, N. c., discontinued in
1861; &C for Carson City, New, dis
continued in 1898; D for Dahlonega,
Ga, discontinued in 1851, and for Den
yer, Colo, since 1906; o for New Or

NOW TO ORGANIZE CREAMERY
Ilsh Cooperative Plant 10 to Do
Work Themselves.

<By q. L. MARTIN, Professor Of Dairy
Ing, North Dakota Agricultural COL
lege.)
: The right way to organize CO.
operative creamery Is for: the farmers
to do it themselves and not leave it
to the creamery promoter. He is in
the business not for the benefit OF the
community but for personal gains.
Tho dead creameries in every com.
munity are evidence Of this fact and
stand as a warning to all that the
way Of the promoter Is wrong. u.s.
The prime requisite for organizing
. creamery Is sufficient number Of
cows to enable the creamery 10 run
Tor the entire year. Few creameries
will succeed with less than 400 COWS
within a radius Of five miles Of the
creamery. A good plan is to sell SIS
shares and limit the number to each
perpon to four. This makes wider
distribution Of shares. which gives
every man Z personal interest in the
success Of the creamery.

A heavy two-horse work team was
fed alternately upon oats and barley
by twenty-eight-day period, for 252
days, the one horse being upon the
barley ration while the other was
upon the oat ration. They ate the
barley readily without regard to the
degree of work required OF them.
Timothy hay was fed for roughage
during the trial.
The tabular statement shows tK.t
the barley did not prove quite SO val
liable per pound for the horses as
oats. The two animals worked to-
gether upon the same evener, and
during some four-week period when,
the work was heavy they lost In
weight.
This occurred three times during the
trial and in no case did one lose In
weight for a period and the other
gain or even fail TO lose, but In every
ease the horse fed on barley lost
more than the one fed on oats.
It was also observed that the horse
fed ON oats usually made a slightly
heavier gain in weight when q gain
was recorded.
This trial indicates that horses
when taxed to the limit by hard work.
