DEMAND FOR PURE
BRED DAIRY COWS

The number of common dairy cat
tie in the United States is so large
and the number of pure bred dairy
cattle Of all the breeds so small that
no young man just taking up the
breeding business will live long
enough to see any lessening of the
demand for pure bred stock. On the
contrary with the growth of dairy
education, he will see a great in
crease"
Thus did Malcolm Fl. Gardner, su-
perintendent of the Advanced Regis
ter of the Holstein-Fresian Associa-
tion of America recently answer the
question, Can the breeding of regis
tered and red-for-production cattle
be overdone?"
Mr.. Gardner, whose home is at Del
avian, Wis, has been with the Hol-
stein breed for more than thirty
years, and has watched it steadily
grow from small beginnings to the
great popularity which it now enjoys.
He has seen the association, of which
he is an officer. increase from about
zoo to more than 5000 members.
When he first knew the breed a few
herds had been established in Massa-
chusetts and New York, and very

CHAPTER Xxx.

If Gloria believed that she had put
TO flight for all time such gentlemanly
assassins as Mr.. Kelly and Mr.. Ryan
her feeling of triumph did not last
long AS the door into the hall was
still open she did not dare make a
move in Wrights direction. She de-
termined to close the door and pull
the washstand in front of it, wedging
it under the knob, before trying fur
Their to succor the injured man When
she walked toward the door, it again
framed the forms of Ryan and Kelly.
AS a result of Il short conference just
out of earshot, they had decided to
return and get their man.
What do you want?" Her heart
sank
'We're lookin' fer a man." Kelly
snarled.
And he come into this room, too, .
Ryan added doggedly. I'VE don't
want to make you uncomftable, lady,
but we gotta git that man."
The way he said it made Gloria feel
that he meant business. All she could

planned in her most winning manner.
you can see that plainly for yourself.
[ came over from the mission to take
care of this sick woman. You are
only making her worse by bursting
into her room in such rude fashion.
Please go out gently; she must lave
it perfectly quiet"
Turkey Ryan so far forgot himself
in the presence of his betters as to
grin at this explanation.
We don't want to have to make
you give i'm up"
This threat had an unpleasant
sound Hitherto the girl had not
feared for her own safety, bat his
surly remark frightened her. The one
thing that kept her steadfast was the
thought that she was protecting the
man she had loved; yes, the man she
now loved more than she ever had.
She did not know how he happened to
be there; she did not know how he
regarded her; she only knew that she
loved him, that she would give her
life sacrifice to save him.
Ryan next appealed to Little Ella.
ELLA, that guy come in here. Where
is he? We amt goin' to be scared
by any fool girl. She don't know who
wants him. Now give i'm up"
Don't say word Gloria told her.

Convict Made Pets of Mice.

An interesting story of convict
and his two pet mice is told in the
report of Captain Hanson. the prison
commissioner of London
Captain Hanson said the con-
vict, who was imprisoned at Park
hurst, had two pet mice. but was or
dered to another prison, where he
was unable to take his pets. Cap
tain Hanson promised to have them
cared for. and himself went to the
cell for the mice.
Never shall l forget the parting
scene continued the officer. The
man took each OF the mice, calling
them by name, kissed them, and then
put them in little box he had lined
with flannel, and with them piece
of bread and a piece of cheese he
had saved

But there was no answer. His eyes
were closed, and the pallor OF death
seemed to be upon his face.
With strength beyond what she had
ever known herself to possess, Gloria
seized the motionless form and dragged
and rolled the man into Little Elias
room. Before she turned to him again
she closed and bolted the door Then
she bent over him and begged him to
speak to her, to open his eyes and
know that she was with him.

pleaded. Then TO Little Ella, He's

Gloria felt his heart and was rewarded
by its feeble beat. She next dashed
water from the pitcher over his face,

to her anguish was the fear that he

tray himself by moan.

It is generally conceded that the
l,ost time to sell chickens is from the
frat of January to the first of Novem-

consequently the market is always

Metals Affect Butter Flavor.

Deterioration in the flavor of butter
is more rapid when it is stored in a
metal container. according to recent
official investigation. Iron was found
to increase the intensity of undesira-
BILE fiavors, although in itself it did not
cause them. Copper was found to give
a very decided tendency toward a
fishy flavor in stored butter, which
was noticeable when a pasteurlzing
that was poorly timed was used. The
chief practical application of these in
vestigations refers to rusty milk cans
or exposed metal parts in churns or
other equipment.
