fling before settling down to the stern
business of law, and he had an auto

around the country at various speeds,
none of which was less than forty
miles an hour.
On certain morning when it was
taken out to scorch up the highway 1t

Cost of Producing Milk.

The Massachusetts experiment sta.
ton has found that the total cost Of
producing milk satisfactory in sanitary
quality and containing from four to
five per cent, of butter fat will usu.
ally amount to from four to five cents
per quart. The cost of keeping a
COW for one year is estimated at
$137O7. Milk produced under more
than average sanitary conditions Of
certified milk will naturally cost con.
siderably more.
