people should own the books they
read We believe heartily In buying
books, reading books aud keeping

serves an admirable purpose, and in
many instances it is of undoubted adj
vantage to the people, But one that
would be surely profited by books
should own them if he can, and should
have them for companions continually

Selecting a Dairy Cow.

The best way to select a dairy COW
is to take the amount Of milk and but
ter fat she produces and keep a record
of 1t. That takes time, but there is a
certain relation between type and pro-
duction, says the Kansas Farmer. The
wedge shape belongs to the dairy ami
mal-the triple wedge shape as viewed
from the front, the side and from the
top. We want the fine hair and small
bones, for If we have cOarseness in any
marked degree 1t shows tendency to
the beef type. The udder is the most
important of all. 1t should come well
forward and run up well behind. The
fore udder should not be cut up. 1t is
more apt to be defective. Teats should
be well placed, of fair size and reason
able distance apart. The milk veins
and milk wells are important as show
ing productive capacity. The more
twisted or crooked the veins the great
er the capacity of the udder to pro-
duce milk. The veins should be long
and large, but not of too large size for
the capacity of the milk wells. The
escutchcon is not thought to be indicI-
tive of capacity, rs was SO thought
thirty years ago.

REAL VALUE OF PLAY.
A Brief Period Snatched From the
Regular Routine Aids Health.

Self Improvement societies that have
tried to find the best way to live have
never discovered anything more valu-
able than play. says Golfers Weekly.
a man may shake up continent by
his energy or build Kingdoms by his
brains. but so far as his personal life
is concerned he has been a failure if
he has not learned TO play.
Play, of course. Is not confined to
games. 1t may be 4 walk In the woods.
a row upon the river. Il sail upon the
lake To some making a garden is play.
as to others is chopping wood. To play
is to follow the irresponsible inclina-
ton which gives the most pleasure
with the least mental strain and bodily
wear
Ideal play is a brief period of care
free living snatched from the regular
routine 1t is enjoying the pleasure of
being alive; it is absorbing from the
earth and air and sun without con-
scious effort. More and more we are
trying to teach the children how to
play, but we do not know how our

DISRAELI AS A SON.
His Generosity In Becoming Recon.
ciled to His Father.

Lord Dufferin used to tell the follow.
ing story about his mother and Dis
raeli:
My mother was among the first OF
Disrael's acquaintances to recognize
his great ability, and she saw a great
deal of him when at Mrs. Norton's.
when he was Il young man about town.
She did not see very much of him after
he had once entered upon his political
career. Here. however. is little anec
dote which is very characteristic and
amusing. My mother had a great ad-
miration for the "CuriositieS Of Litera-
ture" and was anxious to make the ac-
quaintance of Disraeli's father, but
there was difficulty about this. as at
the moment he was not on good terms
with his father.
However. he appeared one day with
his father in tow. AS soon as they
were both seated Disraeli turned around
and, looking ut his father as if he were
piece Of ornamental china. said to
my mother: Madam. have brought
you my father. have become recon
ciled to my father on two conditions
The first was that he should come to
see you and the second that he should
pay my debts"

thus maintain the flow until the fall
feeding program was ready to begin.
Keep in mind always that a lost milk
flow can rarely if ever be regained,
and it is worth while to maintain the
flow if better feed prospects are in
sight.
1t is to tHke care Of short summer
and short early fall pastures that we
urge the painting of some crop as q
supplement- to the pastures and which
can be fed green. On farms where
alfalfa is grown alfalfa hay from the
stack or alfalfa cut and partially cured
In this field before feeding gives de-
sired results. Early sown Kaffir, sor-
ghum or corn large enough to feed
green at such times will never pay
better than when fed in this way.
The editor has fed hundreds of tons Of
this green stuff to the dairy cows as
a supplement to short grass, says Kan
sas Farmer. A feed night and morn
ing in the hangers so that the cows
only and not the whole herd will be
fed is good way to do it.
In this summer feeding the silo is
the ideal arrangement. provided silage
has been left over from the winter
feeding. 1t is good plan to build a
silo of such size that there will be
silage left for summer and late sum
mer feeding. On real dairy farms a
summer sio is maintained

The connection between fish eating
during Lent and strong navy may
appear remote. but to Elizabethan
statesmen it seemed very real and Vi
tai. So much so that every one should
eat fish on every day of Lent. as well
as on certain appointed days through
out the year. under penalty Of heavy
fine. And the reasons set forth for this
enactment made no mention OF reli-
gious observance. 1t was simply stated
that the queen needed ships for the
defense of the realm, and as not only
was the fishing industry "the chiefest
nurse for the bringing up Of youth for
shipping" but great numbers Of ships
be used therein. furnished with stuff
and men at all times in readiness for
her majestys service" the consump-
ton Of fish must be enforced.

Sanctions For Calves,

When calves are fed milk they should
be tied and kept that way until the
milk is entirely dried from their
mouths. If this practice is not follow
ed they soon form the habit of sucking
one another's tails or ears. which is
more or less objectionable. The stan
chlon is a very good way of fastening
calves for feeding. From j. to >
feet should be allowed for each calf,
and the standards for fastening the
calf should he four to five inches apart.
