Logic Of Keeping Dairy Animals In a
Comfortable Condition.
The dairy COW is finely adjusted,
complicated organism that is subject in
a considerable degree to external influ-
ences, says the Orange Judd Farmer.
The greatest amount of butter fat is pro-
duced when the COW is in comfortable
quarters and the body tissues are nor
NAL. These facts are present usually
during the opening Of the summer,
when the grass Is In good condition.
At that time the temperature is just
about right, and there Is an absence Of
flies and vermin, which tend to irritate
the COW. In conjunction with this the
grass is most palatable, all of which
contribute toward contentment in the
dairy COW, and as q reward she pro-
duces very large flow Of milk.
During the winter conditions are
usually the reverse, and abnormal con-

they are usually glad to lend their
testimony for the benefit of others.

what unusual flavor of tAe coffee
and asked him concerning it. He re-
piled that 1t was Postum.
Il was SO pleased with 1t that I
bought a package to carry home with
me. and had wife prepare some for
the next meal. The whole family
liked it so we'll that we discontinued
coffee and used Postum entirely.
Il had been very anxious concern
ing my mothers condition, but We
noticed that after using Postum for
a short time she felt much better, had
little trouble with her heart, and no
sick stomach; that the headaches
were not so frequent, and her general
condition much improved. This con-
tinued until she was we'll and hearty.

CELEBRATED FOR ITS LACE
Venice Has Been Known for Many
Years as Center of That Par
ticuIar Industry.

The lace of Venice has been cele.
brated for many centuries II was
made originally by nuns within the
walls Of converts for ecclesiastical
garments. Then, with the fall of the
Venetian republic, the converts wera
closed and the lace industry cease
to exist for an entire century.
In 1870 the Princess Margherita, az
terward queen of Italy. took measures
to revive it, especially as a means OF
providing employment for Venetian
women. AT present there are several
schools, subsidized by the government,
in which the art is taught.
The pupils are women OF all ages.
Each sits ON low stool and holds a
plump, square cushion in her lap. On
this cushion Is pinned a strip of paper
marked with the pattern, into which
the nimble-tingered worker sticks
glass-beaded pins. about which she
twists her threads. From twenty to
fifty shuttles depend from all sides
of the cushion, and these are thrown
across and back with the rapidity
OF typist handling the keys Of her
machine.
The process looks 20 simple that 1t
looks like play, but the lace produced
represents thousands of dollars. The
simple laces grow rapidly under the
dexterous fingers OF the women, but
the exquisite rose point and other sim.
liar sorts are evolved much more
slowly.
