I'll just give you a little account

Looking back now, feel like smil-

me to half expect phalanx of young
men at the train to meet me. Some
how, got the idea from the fattering
remarks of at least half dozen of
those who honored our porch with
their presence last summer and pre-
vious summers that my advent in the
city would be to them source of the
keenest delight. Strangely enough
therefore, my arrival created not ever
a ripple of excitement
IF it hadn't been for dear old Mrs.
Gray, there wouldn't have been one
friendly face to greet me as stepped

her own affairs than of mine. She

Improvement.
The home that is located on a well
improved highway is always more at
tractive; it is worth more when put
upon the real estate market and it is
a more pleasant place to live because
the social intercourse between the
neighbors and the town which must
always be a social center, is more
free. There is less isolation and this
is what makes life in the country

GOOD ROADS ARE PROFITABLE
Traceable to Bad Thoroughfares

The subject of good roads Is like
season the topic recurs with painful
insistence. Even in this enlighten-
ed age when inventive genius is do
ing everything that can be done to i'm
prove the conditions Of the country,
there are places where the roads are
so seriously neglected that one can
scarcely pass over them with a me-
dunn load
The loss to the farmers in this
country that can be traced directly
to bad roads, is almost inconceivable
says KimbalPs Dairyman. 1t is not
the purpose to try to compute this
account here. The expense of haul
ing, the waste OF time in going for
repairs or in doing other necessary
errands are all increased by poor
roads. These are conditions of eco
nominal Importance but there is an
other side to the good road question
that is of equal importance and that
is the social effect.
The farm that is located on a well
kept, sell improved highway is al
ways nearer town than the one whose
road connecting it with the market
is rough or poorly kept. The time

FOOD VALUE OF MILK.

The following letter is self-explan-
atory:
East Lansing, Mich, Jan. 26, 1914
Prof +. L. West, Alma, Mich.
Dear Professor West-At the In
stitute the other day, inquiry regard
ing the food value of milk was made
and partially answered. Perhaps the
people would be interested if you
would hand it to a local paper, the
following paragraph taken from "The
Milk Question" by Professor Nj. J.
Rosenau, very likely the volume is
in the local library, at least | trust il
is, for it is very valuable).
when compared by weight with
other foods, the value of milk does
not seem to be high because it con-
tains such a large proportion $50
of water When, however, the por-
tons ordinarily served are consid-
cred, the high worth of milk is clearly
shown. The food value of one-half a
pint of milk is approximately equal
to two large eggs, to large serving
of lean meat, to five tablespoonful
of boiled rice, or 10 two slices OF
bread"
Yours very truly,

MAKEUP OF The cow
No Animal Can Look Good If Not
Kept Clean.
Most important Features Are Shape,
Head and Udder-lf Heifer Does
Not Milk creditabIy FIRST Sea-
son Cast Her Aside.

The color of the COW is chiefly a
matter of taste. Almost every color
has its devotees, but roam" appears
to be the most fashionable. The pro-
moters of the various breeds lay down
rules regarding the color of their
favorites, but lin actual practice no
really good SOW is ever bad color.
For my own part like white cow
with a black nose as we'll as any, but
she must be a white one. A dirty
white, which is neither white nor yell
low, my soul hateth." This reminds
us that no COW can look her best If
she is not kept clean, not even a
black one. Give the cattle plenty of
clean dry bedding to lay upon during
the winter months, and other things
being equal, they will be a credit to
their owner.
AS I have already pointed out, fash
ion in color appears to have changed
considerably, and thus it comes to
pass that when the roam COW gives
birth to a white bull calf. her owner

There are certain compensating cir
cumstances, for the white COW fire.
quently gratifies her owner by giving
birth to a roam female calf. Why,
then schould we despise her?
The most important features Of the
COW are shape, head, and udder. If
she possesses a well-developed frame;
if she carries a good head upon her
shoulders, and a good udder between
her hind legs, she will do good serv-
ice on the farm, though she may not
please the fastidious prospective buy
er in the matter Of color.
Some COWS live too long before the
final drama of their lives is enacted.
They present the appearance of being
good animals, but they do not fulfill
the promise of their youth. They are
a source of revenue to the trader, but
they disappoint the farmers who buy

change hands frequently, and are only
saved from final disgrace because,
though they are a complete failure so
far as producing milk is concerned
they possess a faculty of putting on
flesh rapidly. These COWS have sim
ply missed their proper vocation in
life. A little guidance at an early
age Of their career would have put
them on the right track, and they
ought to have been directed towards
the butchers block.
If the heifer does not milk credit
ably the first season, don't allow her
to be served a second time. Life is
too short, and agriculture too serious
a business, to waste time milking
COWS which do not give sufficient
milk to pay for their own keep. If
she is a good thriver why not feed
her well and get her ready for the
butcher as quickly as possible. You
will be comforting favor upon the
agricultural community generally by
so doing.
The cantankerous, ill-tempered COW,
is not usually a good mixer. The
good milking COW is generally placid
and kindly in disposition, and how
she likes to be MIXED! There is no
kicking or "straddling" about. The
so-called soothing tub of provender is
forgotten, and she stands patiently
chewing her cud until the operation is
complete.
If the COW will not stand to be
MIXED unless she has a tub of pro-
vender under her nose, it is because
she has been brought up in that way.
Animals and human beings are alike
in one respect at least, and a habit
