worked speedy transformation In the
market. It placed Wisconsin, Illinois
and other states on the dairy map and
opened up the channels of export to
their cheese and butter. Later came
the cream separator, which was great
factor in the development of the dairy
business. Since that time dairying has
been growing very rapidly.
Points for the Dairyman.
Any man to make success in the
dairy business should bear in mind
these points:
1. Strict regularity in feeding and
milking.
2. Good permanent pastures.
3. At least one silo for winter feed
ing and one with smaller capacity for
summer feeding.
4. Cows that will give at least 1000
pounds Of milk or 200 pounds Of butter
in year.
5. Plenty of roughage: and when
pastures fail some concentrates, as cot
tonseed meal and gluten feeds.
6. Pure water. High producing cows
must have large quantities Of water. It
is well said that it is cheaper to warm
ice cold water with tank heater than
to allow the cow to warm it with So
cent corn. The water tank should be
in coy, sheltered, sunny place.
z. Clean and well ventilated barns
and healthy cows. Dark, damp, steamy,
poorly ventilated barns are ideal places
for the development and spread of
tuberculosis. Remedy: /. Test the
cows with the tuberculin test. 2. Cut
new windows and let in an abundance
of sunlight. 3. Provide proper ventila-
ton.
s. Quietness and kindness. Loud
talking, swearing and rough handling
are not permitted in well-managed
dairy.
The average dairy COW of this coun-
try produces something like $500
pounds of milk in year and approxi
mately $50 to 100 pounds Of butterfat

cow is GREATEST PRODUCER |


It is truly said that the cow is mans
greatest benefactor. Hail, wind,
droughts and floods may come, destroy
our crops and Danish our hopes, but,
from what is left, the COW manufac-
lures the most nourishing and life-sus-
tanning foods.
For 1000 years she has shown her
allegiance to man, sharing alike in his
prosperity and adversely, responding
to all that was done for her, until
through her development she has be-
come indispensable as an economic fac
tor in our national progress.
Dairy communities are rich COM
munities. The cow produces the most
and best food at the least cost; she
brings in steady income; she con-
verts cheap roughage into profit !;
makes the farm worth more; builds
big red barns and good homes-means
living on the farm.
Cow Makes Farm Worth More.
nence and prosperity about well-man-
aged dairy farm.
A man feels independent when he
knows his income is steady. The dairy
business is cash business. 1t calls
for intellectual activity. The success
Of the man engaged in it depends upon
his using his head, developing his judg-
ment.
Dairying builds up the farm. 1t re-
qufres fewer acres to produce a good
living, and consequently leads to closer
neighbors and more thickly-settled
communities.

the enormous sum of nearly 81, 100000
600. Only the corn crop exceeds the
dairy products as a source of income
to the farmers of the nation.
Neither the production Of butter nor
cheese has kept up with the increase of
population. In 1910 there were TO-
625,OOO dairy cows in the United
States, an increase Of about 100000
head in so years. This wonderful
growth in dairying and cheese manu-
featuring has added enormously to the
material wealth of every community
and state where these pursuits are car
ried on. It has also been a wonderful
aid wherever it has been conducted in
diligently in conserving the fertility
Of the soil. This one great advantage
to the wealth of the nation can hardly
be computed in dollars and cents.
In 1870 practically all of the butter
and nearly all of the cheese, except in
the older states as New York and Ohio.
were made on the farm. The average
price of farm butter was about Is cents
and nearly all Of it was sold or traded
Tor dry goods and groceries at the
country stores. The export market for
cheese governed the price in New York
and Ohio, which practically were the

KEEP CAREFUL TAB ON FLOCK
Observation Of Droppings VIII Prove
Of Observation-Disclosures Condi-
ton Of Health.

It does not need careful handling
and examination Of each fowl during
the week to keep tab on your flock as
to condition of health. The droppings
will convey to you much if watched
each day. If you are feeding your
fowls too much meat, the chances are
the droppings will show traces of
blood. Cut out the meat for a while
if the above is noticed. If the drop
pings are not shaped up and of whit
ish or watery condition, the mashes
are likely to be too wet. Better make
the mashes dry for while. If the
excrement is yellow or light green, of
soft watery nature, lock out for chol-
era, or bowel troubles approaching
that stage.

The shappy medium" is. found in
house built partly of some material
which may be considered as included
in the first class and partly OF some
more endurable material which falls
into the second class. Even then the
selection is not a limited one, for there
are many pleasing combinations of the
natural and manufactured stones with
the various forms Of wooden material.
A design is illustrated which may be
placed in the happy medium" class.
The exterior of this substantial story
and-a-half home is finished in rough
natural stone up to the tops of the
first floor windows, from which it is
carried up with shingles under the
gables. The chimneys are Of brick
capped with rouA1 stone. The broad,
gracefully sloping roof is shingled. The
rafters have their ends exposed and
the projecting ends of the purlins are
supported by heavy triangular brack-
cts. A large number of windows
break up the wall surface and add to
the general finished appearance of the
exterior. The useful porch, set back
under the roof, with it's solid stone col
uInns is a pleasant feature. The en-
tire exterior is well balanced and can
be made very beautiful by properly
trailing vines and planting shrubs.
In walking through the various
rooms of the house one is impressed
in much the same manner that obtains
upon viewing the exterior. Good sub
stantial construction is evident in
every detail. The door leading from
the front porch admits the observer
into a hall from which the stair to
the second floor leads OFF to the right.
A feature of this hall is the long seat
built along the wall next to the stair
case. This seat will be found very
convenient and may be built to hold
large quantity of stored books or
music in its lower part, thus relieving
the living room Of the clutter of this
material.
On the left of the hall, through
cased opening, is the large living
room. The fireplace is seen against
the opposite wall upon entering. Ex-
posed tinbers in the ceiling finish are
in keeping with the general plan.
Three large and four smaller windows
furnish ample light for this room. At
the rear of the living room are two
handy tiers Of bookcases built into the
distinctive entrance to the dining
room.
This dining room is really model
of colonial design. Exposed timbers
cut the ceiling up into large and small
panels, furnishing the possibility Of
unique arrangement of the lighting fix
lures. A large buffet extends across
the entire end wall of the room. Three
easement windows are placed over this
buffet and three more windows Of
larger size are set into the other wall.
Double doors are placed in the en-
trance to the living room and to the

price, the cow will more and more dis
place the strictly meat-producing farm
animals. She produces human food
with greater economy than does the
steer, sheep or pig. The United States
census for 1910 shows an increase of
about 20 per cent IN dairy stock while
the total number of all cattle has de-
creased.
sit is interesting to learn that Lady
Oak, Holstein COW, now owned by
the Minnesota experiment station, in
one day produced in her milk an
amount of human food equal to calf
weighing 115 pounds. In a years rec
ord this cow produced 993 pounds of
fat, 631 pounds of protein and 1852
pounds of carbohydrates. This product
was equal to 266 calves weighing 125
pounds each, or 142 calves weighing
200 pounds each, % yearlings weighing
500 pounds each, or steers weighing
LOO pounds each. These figures indi-
cate the wonderful efficiency of the
dairy animal as an economical pro-
Queer CT human food"
Princess Carlotta, a cow owned by
the dairy department Of the University
of Missouri, in one year produced more
human food in her milk than is con-
tanned in the complete carcasses of
four steers weighing 1880 pounds each.
This statement, impossible as it seems,
is not only true, but does not even do
full justice to the cow. The solids in
the milk, which are completely digesti-
BILE, are counted against the entire car
cass of the steer, only part of which is
edible.
The total amount of dry matter in
the milk was 2,218 pounds, all of which
is edible and digestible.
The steer, with live weight of / ,250
pounds, contained Sc per cent of water

pounds of dry matter. In this dry mat
ter of the steer is included hair and
hide, bones and tendons, organs of di-

which is not edible. The analysis of

Review Of Styles Presented to
the World by the Leading
French Designers.
SKIRTS WILL BE NARROWER
Longer, But Less Wide, Is the Edict,
Though There Will Not Be a Re-
turn to the Hobble Skirt-End
Of War Will Affect Clothes
Of American Women.

DAR1s.-There is no doubt now that
the French designers will put
through their plan to give us
skirts that are longer and less wide.
There is no return, however, to the
sheath or hobble skirt. Not ripple
on the surface of fashion indicates
that woman will have less freedom in
the hem.
There is a great deal of fullness
taken out of the side seams in the new
skirts, and the effect is more like the
full skirts of the eighteenth century
than those of last winter.
A few of the Paris houses cut their
walking skirts only three yards wide.
-Four yards, however, was more gen
eral measurement, and many of the
evening skirts fell to the floor in slight
fullness, with a sizeable train behind.
Even this moderate amount of full
ness is not held out by cerclettes or
crinoline, nor is there any tendency
toward the barrel skirt or the exag-
geration of the hips by the vatican
panniers.
No Hip Distension.
Mind you, there is still an orna-
mentation of the hips, but it is not
used for the purposes of distension.
What one writer has called the slip
per trimming, is Il popular expression
of the belief that the sides of n skirt
should be brought into relief.
Lanvin originated this trimming,
and Poiret put n good deal of en-
phasis on it in Slightly different way.
1t consists of n stitched or embroid-
cred band or bedroom slipper with a
rounded toe. and this is placed down
ward over the hips and usually forms
part of the belt.
Certain forms of this slipper trim
ming have been so commoniZed in
cheap, ready-to-war garments that
the public may be wary of it. 1t is not
possible to tell this early whether or
not it will run more than few
weeks.
Is the Short Skirt Doomed7
There may be few hundred young
women and girls who will insist upon
the extra short skirt until they are as
sured that it is doomed. 1t is graceful
on all those who are not burdened
with height or width. but it has been
carried to such degrees of absurdity
during the last six months by women
who should have known better, that

The Best Passage.

A somewhat conceited clergyman,
who was more celebrated for the
length of his sermons than for their
eloquence, once asked the late Father
Heuly, the famous Irish wit, what he
thought Of the one just preached.
"Well, sir replied the humorist, II
like one passage exceedingly WELL
Indeed, Father Healy, and pardon
me for asking which passage you refer
to-"
"Well, my dear sir" replied the wit,

These styles, known as ls4O and
1870, were twisted into something
that suggested grace and daring by
those who were gifted by nnture to
transform something ugly into some
thing charming by the alchemy of
their personality-the kind of person,
you know, who makes orangeade out
of all the lemons handed out by life,
to quote from an optimist's diary,
which is, after all the most construc-
tive policy of happiness in this world.
One gets weary of the Mark Tapleys
of life who are forever smiling at the
things that are wrong and pretending
to be cheerful, but the chemical abili-
ty to turn something bad into some
thing good, makes this word want to
cheer the person who can do it.
All of which is verbose way of
saying that only gifted few can make
Victorian ornamentation appear attrac-
tive.

Fishermen off the southern side of
the cape have been capturing sturgeon
and tossing them back because they
did not know what to do with the. big
fish. Now they are shipping them to
market, having discovered that they
are worth Is cents IA pound, and are
considered better even than swordfish.
Sturgeon flesh is salmon color, and the
spawn, of which caviare is made, IL u
special dainty. Specimens taken on
this coast have run from five to eight
feet In length, and the fish are taken
in strong nets. The fish weigh from
100 to 300 pounds.-Old Colony

BEAT WALL STREET
THE REAL INVESTOR IS THE MAN
WHO WINS.
Gambler May Make Money by Lucky
Chance, but He Losco in the End
Patience Is Necessary
to Success.

The man with long vision wins in
Wall street. This means that the win
ner must be a student of values. He
must be familiar with the factors that
make for or against prosperity, for
Wall street is the barometer of trade.
If the outlook is unfavorable to busi-
ness, it will be reflected by declining
tendency in the stock market, and
when conditions favor prosperity they
will be forecast by rise in the tinan-
cial barometer.
| have never known one who merely
"gambled" in Wall street, that is, one
who bought and sold on the chance of
winning or losing, who was ever sue
cessful in the end, Jasper writes in
Leslie's. He might make money by q
lucky chance, just as he would at a
game of cards or throwing dice, but in
the end the odds were against him.
With very few exceptions l have
known of no one who invested in Wall
street securities with knowledge Of
what he was buying who did not come
out with a final profit. 1t takes long
headed, patient man to this, however,
ing virtues of the American people.
Some Observant fnanciers, including
one of the ablest in the country, the
Honorable A. Barton Hepburn of New
York, think that they see slight halt
in the wave of prosperity that we have
been enjoying by reason of the war
abroad. They fear a marked but tenn
porary subsistence of this wave on the
conclusion Of peace, which may not be
far off. Observers also think that in
some lines of business promotion OF
new securities has been overdone and
that the mass of "indigestible secur.
ities," as the late J.. P. Morgan called
them, may prove to be a drug on the
market.
1 note that English papers are in.
clined to believe that peace may come
suddenly and unexpectedly, though not
in the near future. Many who recall
the bitterness of the contest abroad
believe that it will prolOng the strug.
gle for two or three years to come
or at least until the resources of some
of the contending parties are more
nearly exhausted. A breakdown in
Austria Is first looked for.
The greatest prosperity factor, out.
side of the crop situation, SO far us
this country is concerned is the presi-
Dental election. 1t does not escape
observation that as election day ap-
proaches, the leaders of both political
parties are expressing greater inter-
est in the consideration of business.
The voters are making up their minds
as to which party can best be depend
ed upon for the constructive legisla-
ton that our industries and railways
require. Everybody wants prosperity
and every thoughtful voter will be on
the side of the candidate who promises
to help prosperity.
As the campaign proceeds and as the
uttcrances of the presidential cand-
dates are heard and weighed, the judg-
ment of the public will be formed,
and as soon as it becomes apparent
that this judgment will be in favor
of a candidate distinctly representing
constructive policy, the stock mar
ket and business generally will reflect
this sentiment.
