Christmas passed off very
quietly in Cottonwood this year.
There wasap program and a
Christmas tree, loaded with cam
day and nuts, at the Methodist
church on Christmas eve. The
church was crowded and the
program was thoroughly enjoyed
by all. At the Catholic church a
high mass was celebrated at five
o'clock on Christmas morning,
followed by several low masses,
and ending with a second high
mass at nine O'Clock. The church
was filled at all of these services,
the affairs being nicely decorated
for the occasion and special
Christmas music being rendered
by the choir. Christmas day
was bright and clear and every
one seemed to be enjoying them
selves fully as much as in other
years.

The futility of using scrub cat
lie IN the dairy is being rapidly
impressed on milk farmers. 1t
costs just as much to keep poor
COW as good one. Then why waste
time on cattle that barely pay eX-
penses" All of the dairy breeds are
profitable when well cared for.
Jerseys and Guernseys produce milk
rich in butter fat. The Ayrshire
is d splendid all around COW, while
for quantity OF milk the Holstein
is unsurpassed. The picture shows
a typical Jersey.
