cost to the members usually ie about
$l.5O COW year when the herds con-
tain 10 cows or over, or SIS for the
herd OF fewer than ten cows.
The tester arrives in the afternoon
at the farm at which he Is to work
for the next "a hours When the milk
Ing Is done he weighs the milk given
by each COW and takes a sample to
test OF butterfat. At feeding time
he weighs the feed given each COW,
whether she is milking or dry, and
| also weighs the roughage that several
COWS get. in order to know the aver
age weight given to each. This is re-
peated In the morning. 1t is as i'm
portant to have the records of the feed
given dry cows as of those that are
In milk, as the total cost of feed for
the year should be balanced against
the total value Of the product to show
the profit or loss on feeding.
Each cows milk is again weighed in
the morning and sample taken, to
be mixed with the sample taken at the
nights milking; later in the day the
samples OF milk are tested for butter
fat by the Babcock test Thus the
tester is fortified with the complete
data OF the production OF milk and
butterfat by each COW in "a hours, as
we'll as the record of all feed con-
sumed. On this one days average he
calculates the amount of production
and cost of feed for each COW for the
month. 1t may be seen that an esti-
mate made in this way Is not exact:
careful studies have shown, however,
that this method gives results that
are within per cent Of the actual pro-
duction Of the COW. The findings are
recorded in q herd book that ia sup
piled to each member by the state ex-
pertinent station or by the United
States department of agriculture.
The tester is expected to follow the
local feed market and work out the
most economical ration for the dairy
men. When the record books are com.
pleted, the tester loads his outfit in
his wagon and drives to the next farm
where he is to work, arriving there il
time for the evening milking.
Thus, at the small cost of $3.50 a
COW, dairymen have learned that they
have kept many cows that did not pay
Tor the feed they consumed They
have also learned that many cows in
their herds were capable of paying
for much more feed than they were In
the habit of allowing them, that there
is a great difference in the feeding
values of feed mixtures, and that
equally good mixtures can often be
purchased on tho market at different
prices.

Each line OF cells was open to the

COST OF SPRAYING PER TREE
Difference In Profit on Sprayed and
Unsprayed Trees Given Out by
Nebraska. Station.

In an orchard sprayed by the Ne
braska experiment station, the total
cost OF spraying per tree was twenty
four cents; the net income per tree
from the sprayed trees was $2.35. from
unsprayed trees. 81 cents, leaving an
income of $3.50 more from the sprayed
than from unsprayed trees, or a net
income above the cost of spraying of
$3.50 more on the sprayed than on the
unsprayed trees. In other cases the
difference between the profit on
sprayed and unsprayed trees has been
very much greater than this. The diff
ference, OF course. will depend on the
prevalence of disease and insects.

"but I'm going to be the best little friend husband you ever saw in the whole wide world. I'm goug to try and initiate your sweet, lovely dispo- sition, for everything you do. and say Is just right. I'm going to stop quarreling about the biscuit not being hot and the coffee being weak or fuss because the kitten gets in my bed at night, or fume when the laundry doesn't come home on Wednesday, Why? Because dear light of my life, know that you are in no way responsible for such happenings and it isn't to you that I have been yeplng like a young cub in my peevish ness"
 I'm going to buy you nice little cleo tric,' and won't ever expect to get in it except when you ask me. l want you to get all the new gowns and bonnets you need. regardless of cost, because you are my beautiful little wife and I love to see you dressed we'll I shall never cross you again and shall always nobly and heroically eat everything you put before me, from the over-done roast to the sobby old battercakes, and instead of clinlSing my teeth and growing like a bear, l am not going to say anything about it or even suggest that the food downtown at the places I get my luncheon is better than I get at home.''
 Mrs. litter fairly gasped.
 She didn't know what on earth to make of friend husband.'
 Also" began MT. litter again, "I shall button up your gowns without swearing in six different languages, no matter how small the hooks and eyes ~are, and I shall never again grow impatient when you are late for the theatre. I have been such a troublesome husband to you, dear, that I want to make up for it all tho rest of my life by being a model.'
 Mrs. litter still couldn't make out" what on earth had happened to friend husband"
 She thought he was losing his mind and a fit subject for the insane asy- lum.'
 She really became alarmed and wanted to send for the family doctor, when MT. litter started again:
 And every day of my life I am going to tell you I love you,' he said.
 This was almost too much for poor be-, lated Mrs. litter, for since the day that he spoke the mystic words, q do,' until the present. MT. litter had never even so much as hinted at 'I love you"
 All at once Mrs. Titter's brain began to work.
