The little people who live In the

In fact. they watch on every side

So Il was that he caught glimpse
Of a swiftly moving form In the
moonlight, like a shadow lodging
among the trees behind him. A little
lump arose In Reddy's throat. He
knew that that seeming shadow was
no shadow at ell. but was Old Man
Coyote. and ne knew, too. by the
way In which Old Man Coyote was
running that he had smelled the
meat Reddy was carrying and meant
to have II II possible. Anger sprang
up In Reddy's heart. but fear was

Now, as you and I know, no one
can run his fastest IL he Is carrying

To carry that meat he had to hold
his head high. and with his head
held that way he just couldn't run

could. Hc hoped he would be able

ALDERMEN AT SEA
ON RE-ROUTING OF

For several hours, Thursday after

against the proposed re-routing and
extension of the Grand Belt line.
Professors from the northwestern
section of the city filed the council

clusion Of the meeting the members
wore helpless, bewildered look.
Aid. Vernor suggested that the resi-
dents and Improvement association
members in the affected districts
try and agree among themselves on

Value of Flower Shows.

Preparations are already under way
for flower shows, and 1t Is pertinent
to ask, What is the permanent value
to those who attend?" Mere attrac-
tions will not permanently endure
with any considerable measure of sue
cess. They must educate as well. In
order to interest you must instruct.
All love best what they know most
about. The more one is instructed in
horticulture the greater will be his
appreciation of plants and flowers.
Every exhibit should be q bureau Of
information regarding fundamental
knowledge. Every attendant should
be a mine of information regarding
details. A feast for the eyes will not
alone attract the best attendance, but
a feast OF the mind as well surely
will.

IMPORTANCE OF PURE WATER
Essential That Supply for Cows Be OF
Mild Temperature, Especially in
Cold Weather.

A large amount of water is needed
by the average dairy cow for the up.
keep of bodily functions. In addition
to this, much more is needed in the
production Of milk as the latter con.
tains 81 per cent of water. Practical
dairymen have found that 1t is good
policy to provide the cow with plenty
of good, clean water. That flowing
through a muddy ditch is not suited
for dairy cow
1t is also important that the water
be of mild temperature, especially in
cold weather. Ice water taken into
the stomach of the COW causes shock
to the system that is not conducive to
high milk production. The tempering
Of this cold water in the cow uses
some of the energy that might be ap-
piled to other purposes. In the WIN
ter, freshly pumped water is much bet.
ter than the cold water in the tank.
Tank heaters aid in overcoming this
trouble. A cow will drink much
larger quantity Of warm water in the
wintertime than of ice water.

COST OF KEEPING A HEIFER
About the surest Way to Avoid Any
Possible Error Is to Keep Com
plete Set Of Accounts.

We sometimes get the impression
that the cost Of keeping horse or a
COW is determined by the amount Of
feed consumed, plus the amount Of
labor expended, and possibly an in
terest charge. The government has
published figures on the cost of rails.
Ing, from birth, two-year-old heifer
which show that 65.6 per cent of the
total cost was expended for feed, 1873
per cent for labor, SO per cent for
interest, and 1876 per cent for other
charges, such as buildings, equipment,
bedding, etc., or with total expense
of $62.06. These items which might
be called "other charges amounted
to $9.72.
This emphasizes the need of caution
in determining the cost of any single
enterprise of the farm. Too frequent
ly these "other charges" are omitted
in reporting profits. About the surest
way to avoid the possible error is to
keep complete set of accounts. or
course, there Is some work attached
to 1t but by adopting simple direct
entry method OF bookkeeping it isn't
such bad Job.

Have q Garden.

Begin now to think Of that little
garden in the back yard, everybody
who has back yard. Such modest
enterprise has much to do to restore
the harmony of life. If you don't get a
radish, tomato, bean or a mess Of
peas, you will get something greater
pure air, sunshine, exercise and COM
partnership with nature, which are a
richer crop than all the truck in the
garden. 1t is a great thing to watch
things grow. They make a man
grow, too; add health and
strength to every part Of his body;
give him a clean conscience; make
him love his wife and enjoy her
victuals. Tending a little garden
makes a good citizen out OF man;
gives him better thoughts; makes him
kindlier to his neighbors, and gives a
gentler accent to his voice. And then,
IL he should raise anything In the gar
den, how happy he Is to gather 1t and
take 1t into the kitchen and lay 1t on
the table, saying to his wife: These
are some OF our own raising; amt
they finer" That's life-grander than
going to church in an automobile

LOOK TO THE VACANT LOT
A Little Cleaning Up Of the Space
Now Will Result in Profit in
the Future.

Owners Of unimproved property in
this city who wish to sell 1t should
take heed of suggestion that comes
from Minneapolis, where the matter
has been under practical considera-
ton. This is that any lot of ground
offered for sale has a better chance
OF finding a market If it is kept in at
tractive order than IL neglected and
allowed to present an unkempt, unat-
tractive appearance. OF course, as a
mere building site, it makes no diff
ference to a prospective purchaser
whether lot is neatly tufted or is
veritable dump laden with trash.
Building operations are not deferred
by refuse. But there is something
psychological in the appeal of we'll
kept vacant lot that gives it pulling
power" over a trash-covered, weed
grown, unsightly place.
The cumulative effect of well-tended
vacant properties reaching to O stand
ard Of orderliness throughout the city
is unmistakable. Every real estate
owner with property of this character
to sell Is interested in attracting the
attention Of buyers from outside. Such
buyers are more surely drawn to a
city that presents no unlovely aspects
than to one that is peppered with eye
sores.
The cost of keeping a vacant lot in
order Is slight and 1t should be reck-
oned by the owner as part Of the over
head charge, along with the interest.
1t has been suggested that this cost
may be added to the price of the prop
erty when it is sold. However 1t is
borne, whether by the owner or the
ultimate purchaser, 1t Is a good in
vestment. 1t makes for quicker sales
and meanwhile for a more attractive
city, which in itself is an asset shared
by every owner of property.
This is the season TO consider this
question. Already the preparations
for park work are under way. The
ground in the public reservations is
being raked, trash is being hauled
away, and In few weeks the city will
be blossoming. Every owner Of q va
cant lot should consider his bit OF
ground as part Of the citys park sys-
tenn and put it in order just as care
fully as the tree-grown spaces under
the care Of the government are
groomed for the season. The house
holders are expected to keep their
front parkings and lawns up to a
certain standard of neatness, and sure
ly those who own land on which there
are no improvements should be under
the same obligation. - Washington

VALUES OF THE DAIRY COWS
Animals Supply Cheapest and Most
Wholesome Food for Family
Save Much on Food Bills.

The FIRST reason for having good
milk cows on the farm comes from
the fact that they provide the cheap
est, best and most wholesome food for
the family.
Their value Is hard to estimate
when we consider the amount saved
ON the bills. Their produce is a supe.
rior substitute for many foods neces.
sarIly purchased at high prices.
In fact, there Is no economic way
/ doing without plenty OF good milk
ows on the farm.
