REAL HOME FOR THE HoEE
Finds Secure Abiding Place After a
Period of TroubIous
Wanderines.

Everett p Dahlgren, the millionaire
opponent of woman suffrage, said at
a suffrage debate in Boston:
Il always declare that woman
shouldn't enter politics till she's full
filed all her prior duties.
Prior duties! Prior duties!' So
q young lady Knocked me one day.
What do you men mean by these
prior duties" that you're always talk
ing about, Mr., Dahlgren?
so then told the young lady this
story:
Once upon a time, ! began, little
hole was born; and it looked around
TO see where 1t should take up its
abode
1T first decided on window, but a
man came straightway and put in
new pane, 1t next choose a chair seat,
but the housewife sent for a Gamer,
and in a jiffy a new seat was put in
the chair. The hole now selected a
baby's rattle, and the baby was so
pleased that it began to tear the rat
tie to pieces, and the poor hole, half
crazed with fright, had just time to
escape 1t threw itself, more dead
than alive, into the first thing that
came to hand, which happened to be
the sock of a suffragists husband.
There, at least, the hole seems to
have found a real home. Its peace
has not been troubled from the be-
ginning, six months ago."

There is nothing new under the
sun; sometimes a restatement Of old
truths carries conviction ina new way.
If when you have read this article
you feel inclined to say: Il knew all
that before. go right on and ask your
self if you have practised what you
have known. II not, a good time to
begin is right now.
Many a rough and broken farm In
this country where grain crops are
grown at large expense and little or
no profit, could be used as dairy farms
to advantage,
Grasses that grow on stony soil are
rich and nutritious and frequently
luxuriant Putting this rough land to
use as pasture for dairy cows con-
stantly enriches it. No gullies are
washed In 1t because grass land does
not gully, and the arduous labor Of
filling it is changed into milking, not
easier, perhaps, but more convenient
and mere profitable.
The dairyman does not depend much
on the weather. To be sure, dry
year shortens the crop to some extent;
but the mill and butter crop is new
er failure.
Dairying is a round-the-year bust
ness. 1t brings money every month
in the year, equalizes the labor Of the
year, and furnishes product in de-
mand every day in the year.
When ii comes to hauling money
crops to market the man who sells
butter has a distinct advantage over
the man who sells wheat
When 1t comes to taking fertility
out of the soil the dairyman sells
nothing but sunshine and water, for
q ton Of butter is worth about rs cents
as fertilizer. A bushel of wheat and
the straw it grows on, take from the
soil, thirteen and a quarter pounds of
nitrogen, two-thirds of pound of phos-
phorus, and eleven and a quarter
pounds of potash, the total cash value
Of these elements being $11.
If the cream is sold to a creamery
a little more fertilizer is taken from
Tie lldu WOuid DS bu6 case IL
only the butter we're sold, yet the diff
ference is negligible. For this reason
butter-making or cream-making dairy
men have fertile farms.
The dairymen can count with consid-
cradle certainty on their cash receipts,
for the price of butter Is about the
same In a given month In one year,
that it is in the same month in anoth-
er year.
One COW can be kept on one acre IL
the dairy farm is properly managed,
and each COW should produce at least
200 pounds of butter in a year. I'm
der such conditions the dairy will pay
rental of SIS per acre for the farm.
The dairyman has more liberty than
the crop farmer. He works mornings
and evenings and Is able to use the
time between for other useful employ
ment. He can put in his whole time
and winter brings in money
as well as summer.
/ have heard people say that dairy |
ing is hard, combining work. Such work
Is good for some people, for 1t keeps |
them at work and usually this is just |
the kind who complain of dairying,
Dairy and grain farming is the ideal |
system. Raise grain and grass and !

Coe did not get much encouragement from his chief
when he laid his scheme before him.
"Well, Jimmy" said the sales manager, "youre a

Lord & Thompson ought to have hat department, all
l can say is, the Lord help Thompson! He'll get
peace until he agrees with you"
T1NDAUNTED, Coe spent many hours at various
times in Lord & Thompson's store. He talked with
the statesmen, and found that there many inquiries
for hats from customers and that the the store
had arrangement with nearby halter by which they
got commission every sale made through their

cut off this source of income He studied the arrange

satisfaction just where they could go and how the

secured the interested coopera-
ton of a man on the inside,
Coe advanced on the main
works.
Thompson's office was on the
fourth floor, and every visitor
was required to send up his
card and a statement of his
business. Coe knew how fiat his
proposition would sound if it
was transmitted through the
elevator man, and after one un-
successful attempt to get an in
terview by sending up his busi-
ness card he abandoned that
line of attack. Getting that
interview with Thompson be-
gan to look like a considerable
job. He was not going to be
baked by an elevator man,
though.
He remembered one time
when he was boy on the farm.
1t was a beautiful day in early
spring, and his job of riding

desirable thing in the world.

that the men would be very

taken away from them. It's
not easy to get good men, and
we try to keep them happy"
@That could be arranged
easily" said Coe. "You could
make the same commission ar

so interest them in hat sales in
