The department of agriculture as
the result of great demand for IN
formation relating to the construction
of dairy buildings started line of in
vestigation through its dairy special
lists for the purpose of developing the
basic principles of such construction.
In order to make the work thoroughly
practical, these studies were extended
to the planning and actual supervision
of construction of a number OF dairy
buildings in different sections Of the
country Few. localities will require

REARING Calves.

The man who plans to rear his heif-
er calves should bear this point in
mind: Vitality is one of the most inn
portant things to be developed, and IT
is obtained only through liberal feed

only partly true, for. unless the calf
is well-born to start with. the best

I'm a certain street in town
where used to live one place,
though no larger or more i'm
- posing, stands out from all the
rest Strangers passing often
stop to look at it. The townspeople are
proud of 1t and point it out to their
visitors. And yet the house itself is no
more attractive than several others on
that street. 1t is simply the tasteful
arrangement of handsome trees and
shrubs which gives the place its air of
distinction.
And thereby hangs a tale.
There are six children in that house
Twenty-Five years ago when the first
child was born there was nothing dis
tinctive about the place, but on that
day the proud father, wishing to com
memorate the event in some extra
special way, went out into the woods.

That was the beginning of a Gus
tom. On the day of each child's birth.
and on the anniversary of each birth
day, the father has planted at least
one tree, shrub or plant as his birthday
present to the child The children have
other gifts, of course, but none in
which they take more interest and
pleasure than their fathers.

blythe name of its owner. The sentinel

them with the restSof the family.

are among the ornamental paintings
which give the place its air of distinc-

small but excellent fruit orchard and a
fine grape arbor which have come into

Each child is supposed to take care
of his own plants, and yearly reward

outdoor work is healthy for them, they
have learned a good deal about gar

more closely together by this common
interest. thel appearance of the place
has been greatly improved and its
value correspondingly enhanced
All this has been done on three
quarters of an acre of land, and with
scarcely larger expenditure than any
father in moderate circumstances
makes on his childrens gifts.
Don't you think that is a scheme
good enough to be initiated?

~ nee upon time, daisy lived
by the side of a wood.
" For years and years the daisy S
family had lived at the same place.
Every fall when the new seeds looked
for a home, they found some warm
comfortable spot not far from their
parents home and there they hid for
the winter. In the spring they sent up
their leaves and in the summer spread
open their blooms right in the same
neighborhood.
So finally there was a real city of
daisies on the edge of the woods.
Then one day a railroad was built
right thru the middle of the daisy field
and several times every day great trains
went roaring by.
The daisies liked to watch the en-
gines putting and blowing and drag
ging their trails of cars. They liked to
watch them in the day time, but better
still they liked to watch them at night
when the engines pulled and snorted
and scattered sparks like giant dragons
running thru the night.

people from place to place.
Would they take me?" asked the

'T'm afraid moi" said the raindrop

young man she uses most delectable

Then she has a way of resting her

raising it. This always gets results.

But just then the rumble and roar
of the train was heard and the daisy
jumped as hard as she could
OF course, she didn't get on the train
but few of her ripe seeds were pulled
along with the rushing wind and drop
ped on some dry hard ground q long
way past the daisy field.
The next year the daisy seed sprouted
and grew beautiful flowers from the
hard cindery ground
and people looking from the passing
trains noticed the brave little daisy
growing all alone and wondered how
it got there.
