No breath of scandal had ever blown
across her fair fame-cold, naughty, i'm
peccable, she. seemed to move like soma
misplaced saint through the wilderness of
society.
Sir Lucius Grafton was somewhat older
than the duke, but had been at Eton in
the time of his grace and SO George knew
him. Lucy Grafton, they called him at
school
The duke at once renewed his acquaint-
ance with Sir Lucius and was presented
to Lady Alphabetically 'Afy'' they
called her in their society lingo
Lady Aphrodite was the daughter OF a
noble family and had married Sir Lucius.

lieving that she could reform him.. Tha /

her-what she was.
The young duke was assidious in his
attentions to Lady Aphrodite. She, on her
part, felt toward the young man some
thing which she had never felt.

will go dry almost at once. This is
desirable, as a COY should have about
two months rest during the year.
The time to give the dairy COW her
vacation is when the farmer is busy
harvesting his crop and when the
flies, mosquitoes, hot weather and dry
pasture will not let the cow do her
best as a milk producer.
According to records on hand the
writer feels safe in saying that a COW
in this state and other states hav-
ing similar conditions will yield at
least 20 per cent more milk during
the year when freshening in the fall
than when freshening in the spring.

THE MEADOW LARK.
Estimated This Bird Is Worth $40 {,
$50 a Year to the Farmer.

The meadow lark is one of the
farmers best friends. Some are &C.
cusing it of eating some seed grain.
1t may have done so, but grain is not
its principal diet. Insects form its
main food. G~rasshoppers seem to be
it's choice, though it eats most insects
that are abundant, as beetles, bugs,
caterpillars, flies. etc. In the spring
it eats a large number of cutworms.
The meadow lark is a ground feeder,
so it gets many of the insects that
are overlooked by the birds that live
in trees. Some grain and weed seeds
have been found in their stomachs,
but never any sprouted grain. Even
In the winter the meadow lark feeds
largely on insects and weed seed.
The weed seed included rag weed,
smartweed and pigeon grass.
1t has been estimated that a
meadow lark is worth $40 to $50 a
year to the farmer on account of the
insects that it eats. They should be
encouraged and protected.

W CowS.--MoRE PROFIT
Careful Selection and Breeding I'm.
proves the Herd.

Careful selection and Breeding I'm.
proves the Herd.
The farmer who wishes to e q
large profitable harvest of grain sows
pure seed. He does not use all of the
seed, even though it be pure. He
makes as good a selection as he can
find Of the seed that is of a pure
strain, good type and free from dis.
ease. He next Sits and culls until
the best is secured before he expects
to plant, reap and increase his yield.
The man who picks his best cows
from year to year will be improving his
herd and raising the standards as the
years go by. The thing that counts
is for every COW in the herd to give
more than she takes. To do this the
COW has to have the ability to con-
vert her food into milk-a tendency
that is developed in cows only
through long years of careful selec.
ton and breeding.
The best authorities on breeding
agree that by crossing the common
COWS with a dairy sire 1t will improve
the production of the offspring to the
extent of about fifty pounds of but
terfat per year.. With such results 1t
will take only a few years to build
up a profitable herd. If the output of
butterfat on ten COWS be increased
fifty pounds each per year it will
mean a total of 500 pounds and at 30
cents will be an increase in returns
of $3.50 without considering the value
of the increase in production of milk
and the added value Of the cows.
Fewer cows with a higher produc.
ton, less work and greater profits. is
a good rule for the farmer with COWS
to adopt.
