Prospects for tho Seventh Annual
National Dairy Show, Chicago.

While this event has each year CIV
en- evidence OF its usefulness to tho
dairy world. yet the rounding out or
the seven-year period promises to
give to the country one OF the most
valuable educational shows ever pre-.
sented. With the thought in mind that
the importation of dairy products il
growing to dangerous amount and
that present prices and general con-
ditions concerning agriculture IN
America warrant tremendous amount
of work to stop the terrific drain
upon our gold by foreign countries for
products we should and must grow
at home, the attention of the manage
ment has been given entirely to the
rendering Of practical demonstrations
on lines of the maximum Of produc-
tion at the minimum of cost, of dairy
products. While features of intense
moment on sanitary and hyglenio
methods will be presented, yet the
paramount work of this great educa-
tional show is for the farmer.
Matters of breeding and feeding
will be presented by demonstration
aud discussion; the better handling
and marketing of dairy products will
be discussed-in fact, everything that
will tend to aid in profitable dairy
farming will be here shown and
talked over by the highest national
authorities. The machinery depart
ment will have many active. interest
ing and instructive exhibits. It Is the
intention that every exhibitor shall
have an opportunity to display his ex-
hibit, wholly or In part, in active use.
thus giving practical demonstrations
under expert hands. But the COW and
her place upon the farm will be the
paramount issue; with 100000 an
nually being shipped out Of this coun-
try for dairy products, the COW and
how to increase her capacity has the
most need OF consideration by all
patriotic citizens.
No farmer In the middle west, be he
already engaged in dairying or not, can
afford to overlook this ten-day short
course in all that is best for the farm.
In fact, this show has assumed a rela-
ton with farming and dairying that
makes it the annual roundup OF all
affairs of the dairy world, where
show-yard battles ara settled for the
season; where trades are made and
where matters affecting tho next
years work are discussed and
planned.
The show will be held this year.

AS the conductor left the Mallcrys

him anew what sacrilege had been at

to stop the Trans-American OF all
trains!-to go shopping of all things!
He stormed into the smoking room
TO open the safety valve OF his wrath.
and found the porter just coming out
of the buffet cell with tray, two hol-
low-stemmed glasses and bottle
swaddled in a napkin.

can't talk TO you now. I'll see you
later" And he staggered off. leav-
ing the door OF the buffet open. The
conductor paused to close 1t, glanced
in, started. stared, giared, roared:
whats this! Well, I'll be-a dog
smUggled in here! I'll break that
coon's head. Come out of there, you
miserable Urinary hound" He seized
the incredulous Snoozleums by the
scruff of his neck, growing. Its you
for the baggage car ahead" and
dashed out with his prey, just as NAL
Tory, now getting new bearings on
Marjorie's character, spoke across
the rampant of his Napoleonically
folded arms:
well. you're a nice one!-making
violent love to a conductor before my
very eyes. A minute more and
would have"
She silenced him with a snap:
Don't you speak to me! 1 hate you!
| hate all men. The more | know
men the more | like" this reminded
her, and she asked anxiously: Where
is Snoozleums?"
Mallory, impatient at the shift of
subject, snapped back: "Oh, | left him
in the buffet with the waiter. What
want to know is how you dare to"
was it a colored waiter?"
"Of course. But I'm not speaking
Of"
but suppose he should bite him?"
"Oh. you can't hurt those niger
walters. | started to say"
But | can't have Snoozleums bit
ing colored people. It might not agree
with him. Get him at once"
Mallory trembled with suppressed
rage like an overloaded boiler, but he
gave up and growled: "Oh, Lord, all
right. I'll get him when I've fin
ished-"
Go get him this minute. And bring
the poor darling back TO his mother"
"His mother! Ye gods!" cried NAL
lory, wildly. He turned away and
dashed into the mems room with
furious: where's that damned dogY"
He met the porter Just returning.
The porter smiled: He's right In
heah, sir" and opened the buffet door.
His eyes popped and his Jaw sagged:

You left the window open, too"
Mallory observed. We'll. 1 guess mes
