II is a fact. and there Is evidence

ful study OF her and investigate TO see
IL she has reached the limit Of her pro
duetion. BY weighing and testing the
milk some rather surprising results
have been found In many Of our dairy

The greatest good that has been
derived is not alone in eliminating the
Improbable COW, but rather in aEak-

UhPR0FITABLE LAND
LIKE B0ARDER COWS
Low Yielding Acres Are Often
Fatal to Successful Farm
ing-Drainage Favored.

The United States department OF
agriculture sends cut q bulletin from
which tkis article is taken:
We hear rna,y unconplimeniary
things about the Improbable dairy
cow-ihe boarder coz that is support
ed from the profits Of the remainder Of
the herd On many farms the IN
profitable dairy COW is not BY any
means the only boarder. Low yielding
acres. like bosrder COWS. are often
fatal TO successful farming.
Our farm survey records show that
area Of poorly drained. compact. sour
soils. or soils low In humus greatly
reduce net profits and are a frequent
cause Of minus labor income. Some
times these records show that as much
as 20 per cent Of the entire farm
acreage does not produce enough to
pay its way.
One farm on which we recently took
records has 80 acres Of poorly drained
land that In its present condition is
practically worthless. Twenty-Five dol
lars per acre spent In drainage will
make this 40-acre tract the equal Of
any in that district. and good land is
selling there Al $50 per acre.
Ths successful business man tries
70 weed out all Improbable enter
prises and to expand those that pay
a profit Improbable acres cannot al
ways be disposed OF as rapidly as
boarder COWS. tut usually they can be
improved until they become profit
bearing II the income from such land
cannot be increased. it is quite possi.
bic that the labor spent upon II can
be reduced until the income at least
pays the cost Of, labor.

claimed. "He has married two couples
and married the two men to the wrong
women, and he does not know what
to do"
Have they signed the register?" in
quired the clergyman.
NO" was the verger's response.
Then they can be married again."
said the vicar. Tell Mr. - will
be at the church in minute or two

In due course the incumbent made
his way to the church and found the
parties gathered at the entrance. Be-
fore he could say anything one OF the
bridegrooms approached and said:

anyone who cares to write for 1t 10
the committee at the city hall, New
York:
Leftover Meat.-Do moi. reheat left
over cooked meat for a long time at
a great heat, as this will make the
meat tough.
Leftover cooked meat will be much
more palatable If highly seasoned.
Leftover beef, lamb, mutton and
veal are excellent for hash scalloped
dishes. croquettes, loaf and salads.
Leftover beef, lamb or mutton
make excellent stews with the add.
ton of any leftover vegetables. Any
leftover meat, vegetables and gravy
may be used to make meat pie.
A leftover ham bone will greatly
improve the flavor Of pea or bean
soup.
Any kind Of cold meat may be
chopped and used in an omelet, or,
combined with rice and tomatoes, used
for a scalloped dish.
Sour Milk or Cream.-No sour milk
or cream should be wasted. Put II
into an earthen or glass jar, little by
little, until you have half a cup or a
cupful. AS soon as 1t thickens use II
for cottage cheese. griddle cakes, bis
cults, cornbread or gingerbread.
Sour cream may also be used for fill
ing for cake.
cheese.-All the little dried pieces
Of cheese should be grated and put
in covered glass jar. These cheese
crumbs are excellent for many made
over dishes and are particularly good
with starchy foods, such as potatoes
macaronf, etc.
Very tasty crackers can be made BY
spreading this grated cheese on crack
ers, seasoning them and then putting
them in the oven for few minutes.
