Surely, IL we wanted pillow we would
not so to the store or factory and buy
Syracuse beam, an Oliver chill mold
board, a South Bend landslide and a
Mount Joy point, and go home on the
back porch, take a clawhammer and
monkey wrench to make pillow of
these parts. Well, it is just as alb
surd to think we can make the differ
ent breeds of cattle fit together and
do the desired work well. -
take 1t we do not expect to raise
beef cattle, or amy others for that
matter, except for the profit they give
us in consuming the products of our
own farm, converting them into beef
and establishing a new channel
through which to market these prod
ucts.
Then, II this is our desire, do as We
would In purchasing piece Of ma
chinery for any other purpose buy
the machine that was manufactured
for that particular purpose, and buy
the best. The best is the one that will
do most satisfactorily the greatest
amount of work and at the least cost.
am great believer in beef cattle
when we can make them consume our
farm crops at market price and save
the trouble of hauling these away.
Unless we can figure market prices
for our crops fed at home, then the
feeding or raising Of cattle becomes a
burden and not profitable business.
Yes, they should do more than this.
They should make US profit above
all cost Of feed, labor and incidents
which always enter into any business
proposition or venture.

fore she was holding 1t up as weap-

crush her.
A vague round face, huge and red
as a rising moon. dawned before her
eyes and from it came an uncertain
voice:
'Esscuzhe me. mad'm. no 'fensh In

The words and the breath that car
ried them gave the startled spinster
an instant proof that her vis-a-vis did
not share her prohibition principles
or practices. She regarded the ele-
plant with mouse-like terror. and the
elephant regarded the mouse with
elephantine fright, then he removed
himself from her landscape as quick
ly as he could and lurched along the
aisle, calling out merrily to the por-
ter:
Chauffeur. chauffeur; don't go SO
fasht round these corners"
He scollided with small train-boy
singing his nasal lay, but it was the
behemoth and not the train-boy that
collapsed into a seat, sprawling as
helplessly as a mammoth oyster on a
tabfe-cloth.

hoisted him to his feet with an UNI
easy sense of impending trouble He
felt as if someone had left mon
strous baby on his doorstep. but all
he said was:

Market Gardeners I.

Market gardeners who plant about
the same acreage every year fare bet
ter than those who vary the acreage
SO much from year to year. There Ia
too much of a tendency on many
farms to plant a vegetable largely one
year and then reduce the acreage the
following year because prices were un.
satisfactory. When the average price
of any Of our important vegetables
such as tomatoes and cabbage, is TAX
en- for a series of five or ten years,
the profits, with good management,
should be very satisfactory.

elbow amiably. and his prisoner was
too stified with wrath to emit more
than one feeble "Pawtah!"
Mr.. Wellington unused on aloud,
"Oh, IL | had only remained single.
But she was so beautiful and she

Wellington Is a queen among women,
mind you. and have nothing to say
against her except that she has the
temper of tarantula." He italicized
the word with light tillip OF his left

did not notice that he filliped the

ALI cattle are divided into or fall
into certain classes according to the
work they do to best advantage. In
other words, the disposition they make
of the feed they consume over and
above the amount needed for main
tenance determines this class.
When we take into consideration
that cattle are only machines for con-
verting hay, fodder and grains into
some product for human food, and
they are the only machines or fac
tories known that will convert those
materials into beef, milk, butter and
cheese, we get much clearer concep-
ton Of the real meaning of beef cat
tie, milk cattle or butter cattle.
BY beef cattle we mean those types
of cattle which will use their surplus
feed to best advantage in the manu-
factrue Of beef OF this type we have
three prominent breeds: Shorthorn,
Hereford and Aberdeen Angus. While
