CARING FOR BREEDING cows
No Question That Growing and Selling
Calves Under Proper Conditions
10 Profitable Business.

In part. no doubt, the difficulty OF
getting high percentage of calves
arises from sending dry cows to the
shambles. The COW that has sucked
down often fails to get in calf next
year. She is In calf and fat and away
she goes. Another cow that has raised
a calf takes rest next year, and so
on.
One advantage OF selling the calf
crop to the feeder rather than year
lings or older cattle is that so much
more attention and feed can be given
to the breeding cows and their higher
condition and vitality will enable them
to produce more calves.
If there is a shortage of feed 1t will
usually be noticed that heifers that
breed young and older cows that have
been breeding take lay off, and this
Is undesirable, with calves at present
prices.
A good calf is worth $25 to $50, and
selling even few of these will fur
nish hay to winter several mother
COWS that lay the golden egg. There
Is no question that growing and sell
ing calves under proper conditions Is
a paying business, both for the grower
and the feeder who buys them, as
they go to the feed lot in splendid
condition, but it will not pay unless
the cows receive enough attention and
are kept breeding, except as more or
less speculative proposition, depending
on the prices at which cows are
bought and sold.
Where the production of really high
class feeder calves Is the end in view,
value by more feed and better cows.

The Song Of the Nightingale.
Along the dark turnpike John Val

breast. He was wretchedly glad Of
the darkness, for 1t covered a thou

love. Yet through the dark came
drifting sounds that caught at him
with clutching hands-the bay Of a
hound from some far-off kennel. the
whirring note of frogs, the impatient
high whinny of horse across pasture
bars-and his nostrils widened to the
wild braided fragrance of the fields
over which the mist was spinning its
fairy carded wool.
The preparations for his going had
been quickly made. He was leaving

CHAPTER xxxIv.-contInued.

Shirley's breath stopped. She felt
her face tingling and curious weak
ness came on her limbs. Why, indeed,
unless--and the thought was like a
wild prayer in her mind-she had
been mistaken In her surmise!
Thoughts came thronging In panic
haste: the fourteenth of May and the
cape observation-disclosures might point
no less to Valiant than to Sassoon.
But her mothers fainting at the sight
of the son--the eager interest she had
displayed in Shirley's accounts OF him,
from the episode of the rose and the
bulldog to the tournament ball
seemed now to stand out in new
light, throbbing and roseate. Gould
1t be? Had she been stumbling along
a blind trail, misled by the cunning
dovetailing of circumstance? Her
heart was beating stiflingly. II she
should be mistaken now! She dashed
her hand across her eyes as though to
compel their clearness, and looked
again.
It was Beauty valiant's face that
lay in the locket, and that could mean
but one thing: it was he, not Sassoon,
whom her mother loved!
The lamplight seemed to grow and
spread to an unbearable radiance.
Shirley thought she cried out with a
sudden sweet wildness, but she had
not moved or uttered sound. The
illumination was all about her, like
a splendid cloud. The impossible had
happened. The miracle for which she
Historically prayed had been wrought!
When she blew out the light, tho
shining still remained. That glowing
knowledge, like a vitalizing and phys
ical presence, passed with her through
the hall to her room. AS she stood in
the elfish light of her one candle, the
poignancy Of her Joy was as sharp as
her past pain. Later was to come the
wonder how that tragedy had bent
Beauty Valiants life to exile and her
mothers to unfulfillment, and in time
she was to know these things, too.
But now the one great knowledge blot
ted out all else. She need starve her
fancy no longer! The hours with her
lover might again sweep across her
memory undenied. She felt his arms.
his kisses, heard his whispers against
Madonna lilies.
She drew the curtain and opened
the window noiselessly to the light.
Only few hours ago she had been
