All BEGAN With a Dina

Last spring a year ago." says Farm
and Fireside, "a ten-year-old neighbor
boy was given ten cents by his grand
mother. He purchased a packet of
good cucumber seed with his money
and grew a nice patch Of cucumbers
for the local village market. His crop
of cucumbers brought him little
over SO in money, all of which his
mother allowed him to keep and spend

with 81 of his money this boy pur-
chased few little things for himself
and with the other IS he purchased a
eve lamb. By this spring his eve
lamb had grown into mature mother
sheep, and she gave birth to twin
lambs. So now the boy has three
sheep from his investment. The moth
er sheep is now worth $40, and the
lambs are worth IS each, making a
total value of $50 he has earned with
his ten cents in year and a half. Re-

the mother sheep for SPAS, which he

Duane was hungry, but he hurried
through the ample supper that was
set before him, urged on by curiosity
and establishment. While eating he
had bent keen eyes around him. After
a first quiet scrutiny the rangers an
parently paid no more attention TO
him. They were all veterans in serv-

powerful men Of Iron constitution.
Despite general conversation Of
campfire nature, Duane was not de-
Ceived about the fact that his advent
had been an unusual and striking one
which had caused an undercurrent of
conjecture and even CONSERVATION
among them. These rangers were too
well trained to appear openly curious
about their captains guest. As 1t

have been due to a hint of his

Marshes In Mesnnntania

The marshes Of Mesopotamia were

within few weeks of his death was a

miles below Babylon. This sluIce had
been constructed by the ancient Az.
syrian kings to let off the water or

MacNelly sat at a table upon which

in the light he was a fine-looking'

to hide what must have been the full

COWS FRESHENED IN AUTUMN
Calves Are Usually Strong and vieor
ous--Nothing to Check Growth
Butter Fat Higher.

One thing Of great importance to the
dairyman is the time to have the cows
come fresh. Cows that freshen dur
ing the fall months come In at time
when we are not quite so busy and
can look after them and give them
proper care and attention.
The calves are usually strong and
vigorous. and AZ fly time Ii practically
over there Is nothing to materially
check their growth.
Fall.freshened cows no doubt re-
QuIre more attention than those COM
Ing fresh during the spring months,
but as we usually have the spare
time at this particular period Of the
year, the time In caring for them,
feeding. etc, Is probably spent.
Butterfat Is usually higher daring
the fall and winter, and OF course this
makes the business profitable II We
have plenty OF good feed and Of the
right sort for producing butterfat.
There are many other good points
In favor OF having the cows come fresh
during the fall months.
