The scene of the play is laid in the

He is looking for this child, which is

There are three great breeds Of

we're so much in demand during the
present year and always find ready

Though of the fine-boned, meat-built

LITTLE Difference
IN DAIRY BREEDS
Milk Function Requires Certain
Amount of Care, Whether
Jersey or hoIstein.

When the best results are desired
In dairy work, there is very little to
be said regarding the difference in
care between the different dairy
breeds, says Hoard's Dairyman. Milk
function requires a certain kind Of
care, whether it is found in the Jersey.
Ayrshire, Guernsey or Holstein. The
moment we expect dairy COW to rus
tie for her living, that moment she be-
gins to depreciate as a dairy animal.
The Matchmaking function Of the mod
ern dairy COW is to a large degree ar
tificial. and to keep it up IL the high
est state to which it has been devel-
oped requires what might be term
ed artificial environment and feed
ing
We presume that If we would
study of the history OF the Ayrshires
Guernseys and Jerseys, we would find
that the Ayrshire COW has been forced
to do more rustling, living under more
rugged and rough conditions, than
either the Jersey or Guernsey The
Ayrshire comes from country the
ClhdIS VI winch 10 Coluci, pdstul CD
rougher, and perhaps less productive
than the countries in which the Guern-
seys and Jerseys originate. But as
the milk-making function becomes de-
veloped and the animal is called upon
to do larger amount of work. it
demands, whether in the case of Ayr
shire, Jersey or any other breed, about
the same kind of care and treatment
for the best results. If, however. we
should reason back to the environ
ments under which the Ayrshire,
Guernsey and Jersey originated, it
would perhaps not be out Of place to
say that the ayrshire would be bet
ter hustler for her feed than the Jer-
sey or Guernsey.

expensive that interest and deprecia-

Possibly the cheapest house possible
is a low building with a single row of
pens and no alley, but such house
is very inconvenient, especially in
stormy weather. A hog house should
always stand east and west. facing

WINTER CARE FOR
HORSES AND MULES
Animals Not Injured During Cold
Weather if Given Good Feed
and Warmth.

Horses that are we'll fed and given
warm. well-bedded stables and care
fully handled are not injured by being
worked in cold weather. Give good
daily grooming, plenty to eat, water
regularly, provide good ventilation,
clean the stables every morning, and
let the sun shine into the stable.
Sunshine and pure air is of prime
importance. Manure allowed to re-
main in the stable will ferment and
poison the air Of the stable and give
the horses hung disease. When horses
are brought in at night from hard
work rub the legs down with bands
of straw, and If warm blanket; when
cooled off, remove blanket, taking
care that they are not exposed to
draughts When out with team carry
blankets to put on each horse il he

Court Of the United States was taken
to Providence Hospital, where attending
physicians decided an immediate oper-
alton to be imperative. Although she had
been in the hospital since Friday her

generally known until late last night.
Mrs. Mckenna was stricken suddenly
while In her apartments in the Connect
cut and after medical aid was summoned

While her condition last night was con-
sidered somewhat serious, physicians in

was rallying from the operation as well
as could be expected. Mrs. Mckenna is
about seventy years old.
