CowLESS MILK.

Many man who, in early youth,
was driven from the farm because he
had to milk a platoon of brindle cows,
or teach their enthusiastic offsprings
TO drink from a pail, or apply perpet-
ual motion to an old fashioned churn,
may 90 back again if the scientists
come up to their advance notices.
The particular advance notice un-
der consideration is cowloss milk; not
goats milk, nor mares milk, nor cam
els milk, as are used by some nom
adic peoples, but synthetic stuff to be
manufactured in a comfortable labor
atory, which won't kick the bucket
over, or switch one in the eye with
rapid fire tail loaded with cookie
burrs.
The basic property of the hand
made milk will be casein secured from
the soy bean, which can be grown in
waste places, and other ingredients
can be added and sweetened to taste
until a milk as good as the journey
man Jerseys have to offer can be pro-
duced at small cost, and without as
Stunning perilous position on a three
legged stool by the starboard side of
an uncertain COW. This is large
promise, but nothing we can think of
would add more to the joys of rural
life to the boys and girls. The only
milkmaids who have any fun are
those who frisk around on the stage.

OPPORTUNITY.

Master Of human destinies am
Fame, love and fortune my footsteps wait.
Cities and fields / walk; penetrate
Deserts and remote, and passing by
Howell and mart and palace-soon or late
| knock unbidden once at every gate!
If sleeping, wake-if feasting, rise before
l turn await is the hour of fate.
And those who follow me reach every state
Mortals desire, and conquer every foe
Save death, but those who doubt or hesitate,
Condemned to failure, penury and woe,
Seek me in vain, and uselessly mplore-
/ answer not, and | return more
