fruits Of its life fall to the earth,
reposes there during the reign of
winter Spring returns and another
plant appears,
A human life is ushered into ex-
istenee. Food light, air and drink
contribute TO the development of the
body. The full stature of manhood
or womanhood is attained. Youth
with its buoyant hopes abides for
awhile Then comec full maturity
with its responsibilities. It's potenti-
alitics, it's activities and its serious
contemplation of the problems of
existence For the space of few
fleettng years there is no apprecia-
BILE increase or dimunition of
strength Anon the discovery OF
an indisposition to indulge in such
athletic feats as wero formerly prac-
tioad is attributed not to approach
ing age but to the sedatoness and
dignity incident to full maturity.
An occasional twinge of pain. the
gradual dimming of the sense of
sight, a more sensitive appreciation
of shock and the loss of elasticity
in the limbs causes the realization
of the fact that the process of decay
has begun. Raven locks turn to sill
very white. the walking stride strot- )
ems, the nerves weaken. the Shout 1
ders stoop, the action of the limbs n
become palsied and uncertain 1t Is a
hen that we know that stage of a
ienility from which there is no es- v
ape and that dissolution of soul
nd body is the only cure, Thus u
ar tho fate of the plant and the h
ian is the same: birth, growth, n
laturity, decay and finally death. 81

n l
, ~. AIS ieeu. Again the modern
dairyman regards each COW in his
herd as a special machine which must
do certain work. Every loom in a
cotton factory must work to its full
capacity if the factory is to pay it's
owners a good dividend. Just so each
COW in the herd must be watched so
as TO see that she does her full duty.
1t is very easy matter either to over
feed or under-feed a cow, and a
great many COWS in South Carolina
are today being either under-fed or
Over-fed.
The best way 10 study the herd is
to put in every dairy barn a record
sheet on which is recorded every
pound of feed the COW is fed and
every pound of milk she gives in re-
turn. good rule to follow is to
give a cow one pound of grain for
every three pounds of milk. There
are times when this rule is not best,
but it can be taken as an average.
trouble to keep a daily record. To
these we say keep the record for two
days each week. This is far better
than no record at ALL At the end If
the year the dairyman who has kept
records for the first time will have
many surprises. He will find that
what he thought We're some of his
best cows did not pay him near so
we'll as some which he thought not so
good. He will find that some Of his
herd have been kept at a loss, while
others have just paid for their keep.
AS examples, herds in this State
Will be used. Herd No l was kept at
a profit of $124.OO per COW, while herd
No was kept at a profit of $500
per COW. In another herd the best
cow gave 25O more pounds of butter
in one year than the poorest coy and
at cost of only $500 more of feed.
These illustrations simply prove
that unless the dairyman knows what
he gives his COWS and what his cows
give him. ne is running a very un-
certain business, and the milk scales
and record sheet give very hand
some return for the trouble it takes
to keep q record.

TWELVE ,ENTOMBED
IN SILVER MINE

SALT LAKE CITY. Utah, Nov. 15.
The Horn silver mine at Frisco,
Beaver county, caved in from the 300
foot level to the 700-foot level late
last night, according to word reach
ing here today. Twelve persons were
imprisoned, including two young wom-
en-, who were going through the mine
on sightseeing trip.
Communication was established to-
day with FIVE members of the party,
including both OF the young women.
They are on the 300-foot level and are
safe. Seven miners are entombed In
the lower level, however. and com
munication cannot be established
with them because the compressed air
pipes are broken at the 300-foot level.
The party located on the 300-foot
level Is composed OF Alice Alexander,
aged II; Hazel Alexander, 10; Ar
mold Banks and George Howard, and
a foreman. Rescue parties hope TO
reach them tomorrow morning. Roy
Alexander. foreman Of the mine. and
father OF the girls, is believed to be
on the slower level.
