MUSIC FoR MILK COWS.

A farm matron that the writer read of
the other day is taking piano lessons at
sixty years of age, it being her purpose
to install one of these instruments in
her dairy barn. Years ago she noticed
when playing on an old organ that the
COWS in the nearby pasture would
leave their feeding and come to the
fence to listen to the music, and she
holds it to be fact that on days when
they did this they gave more milk and
richer milk than they did on other days
Here is an opportunity for the young
people in the farm home to turn what
is often a very disagreeable and irk-
some duty to practical account. How
ever, we are disposed to break in on
the pastoral simplicity of this picture

A PROFITABLE BUSINESS.

Most every farmer who has raised
and sold horses that were satisfactory
for either speed or draft purposes has
believed that there was good money
in the horse raising business. The
basis for this belief has been verified
in a statement which has been pub
lished within a fortnight by the fed
eral department Of agriculture. On
the strength Of reports from 10000
horse breeders in every part of the
country the department investigators
state that there is profit of approx
mately 40 per cent over and above the
cost Of raising horses at the time they
reach three years Of age. 1t was found
that bringing colt to three years costs
on the average $96.54, while the SELL
ing price Of the average three-year-old
is $136.17. It costs more to raise a
three-year-old In Rhode Island. where
the average selling price is $156,60
than In any other state. while a horse
can be raised most cheaply in New
Mexico, where an average animal can
be bought for $695O.
