TESTING COWS FOR
MILK PRODUCTION
Only Method Of Eliminating
Worthless Animals.

At the Nebraska experiment station
the different cows in the dairy herd
were tested. The result showed that
there is a wide difference in the prod
uct of the cows of the same breed.
In the case mentioned it was found
that one COW gave 1860 pounds of
milk during the period Of %lactation,
and the milk tested 3.48 butter fat.
Another COW in the herd gave 1897
pounds of milk during the period of
lactation which tested 2.82 butter fat.
In figuring on the cost Of preduc-
Ing. as an accurate account was kept
Of all the food each COW consumed.
and the value of all the labor be-
slowed in caring for and feeding the
animals 1t was found that the first
COW returned SALT for each dollars
worth of feed she consumed. On the
other hand, the COW that gave 1897
pounds Of milk returned only IS cents
for each dollars worth of feed she
consumed. Now, it does not require
an expert in figuring to prove the
great value of testing the cows in the
herd. This cow that returned only IS
cents for the dollars worth Of feed she
consumed is not alone in that kind Of
business. There are by far too many
cows kept that are not paying for their
food. Let dairymen give this matter
of testing more consideration and by
all lei weigh the milk, keep track
OF the amount of milk the cows give
per day, per week, per month and dur
Ing the whole period of lactation.

grizzled grass added to it's air of
bleakness. Beyond rose the shingled
roofs of Antelope's main street. Rose,
standing gazing up, wondered IL her
father would go on to Greenhide, the
new camp twenty miles from Ante
lope, where an important strike had
recently been made.
Half an hour later when they met
at breakfast he told her he would not
leave for Greenhide that morning.
Perley had warned him not to at
tempt 1t, and he for his part knew the
country well enough to realize that
II would be foolhardy to start under
such threatening sky. 1t would be
all right to stop over at Antelope till
the weather made up its mind what
1t meant to do. 1t might not be fun
for her. but then he had warned her
before they left San Francisco that
she would have to put up with rough
accommodation and unaccustomed
discomfortg.

Ing out, cried II after him.
He literally fled from her, down the
hallway. with the open doorways
sending their lurid light and kissing
noise across his passage. AS he
reached the dining-room he heard her
bang the door and with aggressive
noise turn the key in the lock and
shoot the bolt. Even at that moment
the lack Of necessity for such a pre-
caution caused bitter smile to move
his lips.
He entered the dining-room and sat
down by the table, his head on, his
hands. He sat thus for some hours,
trying to think what he should do.
He found it impossible to come to any
definite conclusion for the future; all
he could decide upon now was the ne
oessity Of leaving his wife, getting a
respite from her, withdrawing himself
from the sight of her. He had never

and paper and wrote a few lines.
These, without prefix or signature,
stated that he would leave the city
for short time and not to make any
effort to find where he had gone or
communicate with him. He wrote her
name on the folded paper and placed
1t in front Of the clock. Then he stole
into his bedroom-they had occupied
separate rooms for over six months
and packed valise with his oldest
and toughest clothes. After this he
waited in the dining-room till the
light was bright and the traffic of the
day loud on the pavement, before he
crept down the long stairway and
went out into the crystal freshness of
the morning.

CHAPTER w.
Out of Night and Storm.

When Rose Cannon woke on the
morning after her arrival at Antelope,
a memory of the snowflakes of the
evening before made her jump out of
bed and patter barefooted to the win
dow. 1t seemed to her 1t would be
"lots of fun" to be showed up at An
telope, and when she saw only thin
covering of white on the hotel garden
and the diminishing perspective of
roofs, she drew her mouth into gri-
mace of disappointment.
With hunched-up shoulders, her
hands tucked under her arms, she
stood looking out, her breath blur
ring the pane in dissolving film of
smoke. 1t was a cold little world.
Below her the garden-the' summer
pride of Perley's Hotel-lay a sere,
withered waste, its shrubs stiff in the
grip Of the cold. The powdering of
snow on it's frost-bitten leaves and

the whitened shapes of a smoking
team dropping before 1t. had Just
drawn up at the steps. Two mascu-
line figures, carrying bags, emerged
from the interior, and from the driv-
er's seat muffled shape-a cylinder
of wrappings which appeared to have
lively human core--gave forth much
lord and profane language. The iso-
lat1on and remotencss of her sur
roundings had alresdy begun to af-

though she had lived in Antelope for
year.
Looking down the hall she saw the
front door open violently Inward and
two men hastily enter. The wind
seemed to blow IN and before Perley's
boy could press the door shut the
snow had whitened the damp mat
ting. No Stage passed through Ante.

Rose laughed. Her father did not
understand that the roughness and
novelty of 1t all was what she en-
joyed. He was already a man of
means when she was born, and she
had known nothing of the hardships
and privations through which he and
her mother had struggled up to for
tune. Rocky Bar the night before and
Antelope this morning were her first
glimpses Of the mining region over
which the pioneers had swarmed in
'49, BIZ Cannon, only a lad in his
teens among them.
Perley's warnings Of bad weather
were soon verified. Early in the aft
ernoon the idle, occasional snow
flakes had begun to fall thickly, with
soft, persistent steadiness Of pur-
pose.
At four O'Clock, Willoughby, the
Englishman who had charge of the
shutdown Bella X. mine, came, hut
ting head down against the wind. a
group of dogs at his heels, to claim
the hospitality of the hotel. His
watchman, an old timer. had advised
him to seek shelter better stored
with provisions than the Office build
ing of the Bella X. Willoughby, whose
accent and manner had proclaimed
him as one of high distinction before
it was known in Antelope that he
was some relation to a lord" was
made welcome in the bar. His four
red setter dogs, shut out from that
hospitable retreat by the swing dooS,
grouped around II and stared expect
antly, each shout from within being
answered by them with piaintive and
ingratiating whines.
The afternoon was still young when
the day began to darken: Rose Can
non. who had been sitting in the par
lor, dreaming over a fire OF logs, went
to the window, wondering at the grow
ing gloom. The wind had risen TO
wild, sweeping speed, that tore the
snow fine as mist. There were no
lazy, woolly flakes now. They had
turned into an opaque, sianting veil
which here and there curled into
snowy mounds and in other places
left the ground bare.
Rose looked out on 1t with an In
terest that was little soberer than
the debonair blitheness of her morn
ing mood. If it kept up they might
be showed in for days, Perley had
said. That being the case, this room.
the hotels one parlor, would be her
retreat, her abiding place-for her
bedroom was as cold as an ice-chest
until they were liberated. With the
light, half-whimsical smile that came
so readily to her lips, she turned from
the window and surveyed it judicially.
She was leaving the window to re-
turn to her seat by the fire when the
complete silence that seemed to hold
the outside world in spell was brok-
en- by sudden sounds. Voices, the
crack of whip, then grinding
thump against the hotel porch, caught
her ear and whirled her back to the
pane. A large covered vehicle. with
