TODAYS BIT OF VERSE
MY WORK.

Let me but do my work from day to day
In field or forest, at the desk or loom;
In roaring market place or tranquil room;
Let me but find it in my heart to say
This is my work-my blessing not my doom;
OF all who live am the only one by whom
This work can best be done, in the right way.
Then shall | it not too great or small
To suit my spirit and to prove my powers,
Then shall l cheerful greet the laboring hours
And cheerful turn, when the long shadows fall
AT eventde to play and love and rest
Because know for me my work is best.

IOWA PRESS COMMENT,

Davenport Times: The chief ques-
ton raised is whether Root would be
acceptable to Roosevelt. There are
those who say that even with Root
chairman of the convention in 1912
and pledged to the denomination of
Taft, there is ample precedent to
show that such a position would not
as of course cause Roosevelt to OPP
pose him now.

DAIRY cows.
(Where they may be found and the
probable cOst.)

There is a revival of increased in
terest in more intensive carrying in
the San Juan Basin, and constant
ly increasing demand for better
LARRY stock. Farmers are recogniz-
ing the necessity for some source of
income that will be steady, constant,
and reliable and are naturally turn,
ing to the dairy COW as that rieeting
the requirements of their demands.
Dairy cows on every farm will
solve in large measure the problem
of "marl1et for our farm produce"
by utilizing the hay and grain now
seeking for markets, thus converting
the products of the field into the
most condensed form of products
butter-and thus avoiding expensive
freight expenses.
Requests from farmers for NOR.
than 400 cows and heifers of known
dairy types have come to this Office
within the past six weeks and the
movement has only just begun,
There are some very good produc-
ing dairy cows in this section out the
general average average of dairy
cows is not as high from the vie@
point of production as it should he
with us. Too many ranchers are
Keeping cows" instead of having
cows that keep them"
To raise the standard of produc-
tion among our dairymen, and to
meet the increased demand for dairy
stock necessitates the importation of
such of additional dairy stock from
established dairy centers where dairy
stock of high production is being
bred and offered for sale.
Replies to inquiries sent out from
this office indicate that high grade
Jersey yearling heifers can be OBJ
tanned from Jersey centers in Ken
tucky for from s35 to $40 per head;
high grade bred two year-old heifers
of the same breed at from $65 to $40
per head. The same class of Jersey
cows can be obtained in the vicinity
of Grand Junction for from $65 to $40
per head. Bred Holstein cows and
heifers can be obtained fron the cast
ern part of the state at prices rang
ing from $40 to 500 per head. This
stock is all three-fourths 10 seven
eighths grade. To these prices should
he added the cost of transportation
which would range from $3.50 to
$500 per head and the speculator's
profit if this proves to be the best
plan of having the stock brought In
to us. Holstein calves of high grade
can be obtained from dairy sections
in Wisconsin at from $15 to $25 Per
head. These prices indicate that
