forty-three years old, into the city on
a shopping and pleasure trip. After

There, to the great surprise of Mrs.
Courtney, her husband selected and
paid for $5T5 worth of diamonds and
made her present of them. Then
he took her TO another jewelry shop
and bought additional costly trinkets
for her. As they we're leaving the
second shop he turned to the aston

Now, my dear, i am going to give
you real present. am going to buy
you $4,000 automobile"
Instead OF joyfuIly accompanying
her husband TO an automobile estab-

EFFICIENT AS STORAGE TANK
Plan Given for Construction of Cheap
Milk cooier-oil Barrel viii
Answer Purpose.

For the benefit Of those who may
hot possess good milk cooler, | will
give plan for a cheap and efficient
cooler or storage tank, writes H. o.
Clary of Illinois in Hoard's Dairy
man. An oil barrel may be pur.
chased for about rs cents. Make
two openings, one on either side,
large enough to admit two-inch
pipe. The inlet should be a trifie
above the overflow. The inlet pipe
should be equipped with an elbow
and piece of pipe long enough to ex-
tend within a couple Of inches of the
bottom of the barrel; this will let the
cool water in at the bottom and force
the warm water out at the overflow.
II this cooler be placed between the
well and the drinking tank for the
stock there will be no waste Of water
or extra work in cooling the cream.
A cover should be provided for the
barrel to keep out dust, dirt and in
sects. This cover is large enough to
hold four five-gallon shotgun cans.
Now In regard to the cream sep
srator, 1t does not pay to buy cheap
machine for several reasons, such as
inefficiency, durability, etc. Set the
cream screw so as TO skim about a
IS to 40 per cent. cream. This is
beneficial to the farmer in more ways
than one; first, the loss OF skimmilk

at from 20 to 80 cents per hundred

Economy In Hiah.ProdueIna Cows.

The highest producing cows are, on
the average. the most economical
producers. 1t is true that the cost OF
feed eaten by these cows is consider.
ably higher than for the low pro
ducers, but since the products OBJ
tanned are much more valuable than
the feed consumed, and since a
larger portion Of the net energy In
the feed eaten can be used for the
production, in the case OF such cows,
the net returns secured are increased
to far greater extent than the in
