COOPERATIVE DAlRYlNa
Usually Results in Elimination OF
Waste, More Economical Produc
ton, Better Cows.

There are 50 many leaks in the dairy
business that only by use Of the best
business principles can it be made per-
manenty profitable. Individual COWS
must each make a profit over the cost
Of feed; this can be determined only
by Weighing. each cows milk and the
feed that she consumes. The old ar
gument that the best cows are known
may have some foundation, bat few
men know the poorest cows, and the
latter go to make up the average as
well as the good cows. No dairy is
better than it's average production.
II this is too low. the herd is not pay
ing a profit. Business principles must
therefore be applied TO lowering the
cost of milk production. Efficiency is
as much a necessity on the farm as in
the factory Few men feed their COWS
in proportion to the quantity Of milk
produced. yet what could be more sim
pie and more nearly right? With lit
tie regards for her needs, feed is put
before the COW in plenty if it is cheap
and less in uantity if the price is high.
Cows use about 90 per cent of tneir
feed merely to keep their bodies work
ing. and it is the quantity that is fed
above this necessity that furnishes the
material for the milk. Too often the
dairyman says Il would do all the up
to-date things II I had the time" Can
the storekeeper afford to run his busi-
ness without keeping books? Yet that
is what the farmer is doing.
Benefits of Cow Testing.
Working in cooperation. dairymen
can obtain the benefits of business
methods at a very small cost through |
the organization of cow-testing as
ISOLATION An organization of this kind |
that hires an expert to determine the
feed cost of milk or fat production for |
each COW in the herd of the members |
is easily possible Such an expert |
tavela from farm to farm, spending /
usually one udy III place. EtCh
cows milk is weighed and tested as
is her feed. An account is opened in
the ledger for each animal and at the
end of the year the profit or loss of
each one can be ascertained. The heif-
ers of good cows should be selected
and the poor cows should go the the
slaughterhouse, otherwise thew may
be the running Of the owners business.
A cow-testing association is "A coop
erative organization with local Off
GERS. and one that can be of use also
FOR advertising the sale of cattle. The
results obtained with such advertising
nave often been remarkable Dairy
men and breeders are certain to be
in such a movement for
he lettering of the business.
At present about $50 of the orani-
.ations keep the records for about
$4,000 cows owned by 1900 farmers.
These men are realizing the benefits .
# cooperation. {

or cooperative organization, and con-
erted effort by dairymen usually 7

An ANALYSIS of "Ain,ts'

Amt is an improper abbreviation
Of "are not" British writers spell 1t
saint" which properly indicates its
derivation. Americans make 1t an In
elusive offense. using it for ''am not
and as not" as well as for ARE not"
1t is unquestjonably the worst instance
Of slovenliness in the common speech
Of today.
Yet it is by no means Of universal or
even of common use. 1t will slip &C.
casionally from refined lips. always
with a jar TO the enunciator as well
as to the nearer. But the habitual
user Of "ain'ts" is careless of refine
ment He may be an excellent citizen
who never beats his wife or kicks the
cat But there is likely to be some
thing slipshOd about him somewhere.
for ''ain't' is needless as well as ca
cophonous: it fills no void and supplies
no need.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

How the miIIiner Got Even,


A local business man. who has q
friend in a nearby town who is mil
liner, told a story Of how the latter
once got "even" with one of the lead
ing social lights of the place after she
had tried to be unfair with him. The
husband of the woman in question had
had a bit of hard financial shedding.
and during the Reconstruction" period
she had to go light on clothes. So one
day she had the milliner send up some
Of his best hats on approval, which he
did. She sent them all back. but In a
few days appeared on the street with
a duplicate of the most expensive one
Of all, which she had evidently made
herself. In that town there is a mid
die aged woman Of uncertain mental
qualities and unquestionable poverty
who Is more or less of a town charac-
ter. To her the milliner gave the orig
inal Of the duplicated hat, much to the

Mounting a Horse.

In mounting take the reins in the left
hand. At the same time grasp little
name halfway up the neck. Now turn
the stirrup slightly toward you with
the right hand and place the ball Of
the left foot in it. Grab the horn with
the right hand and swing on. Don't
pull yourself on. but swing on. Settle
into the saddle easily; don't flop into
1t. If you want to get your neck
broke" some time mount by taking
the horn in one hand and the cantle In
the other, and the time will surely
come when you will not be disap-
pointed.
Just a word in regard to dismount-
ing. First withdraw your feet from
the stirrups to the ball Take the
horn in the right hand and swing OF.
letting the left foot slip easily and
quickly from the stirrup. Remember
this, for many a man has been dragged
to death because his foot stuck In the
stirrup. Your feet will nearly always
come free if thrown from a horse, but
the left one is prone to stick in dis
mounting unless the above precaltion
Is observed.-Outing.

Effect of Familiarity,

What we see constantly We cease

least are those We know-and perhaps
really love-best. Our eyes are a bit
faded by following the familiar lines.

says q writer in the Atlantic Monthly.
water and sky are very beautiful.
and you may suppose that you are
duly appreciative of them, but lie on
the deck of a catboat and look at them
with your head in an unaccustomed
position-sideways and upside down
and note how the colors fare out upon
your vision.
"Or stay indoors for a few weeks in
a room where you do not get much
outlook and then go out. You VIII be
blinded by the glory Of the world, but
not for long. The glory, alas, fades
quickly. and habit settles upon you
once more!
with our friends faces somewhat
the same thing happens. When We
first meet them they pique Us pleas
antly with their unfamiliar line and
color. Gradually we grow used to
them. The first vision has passed"

SnaiIs Are Queer Creatures.

The snail is found everywhere. over
5000 species being known. Some of
the large tropical snails. as bulimas,
form nests of leaves. their eggs being
as large as pigeons. The snail is ex-
tremely skillful in mending its shell.
and some curious experiments may be
made with them. Thus | have seen a
helix of yellow species attached to
another shell of reddish hue by cut
ting off the top whorl of the latter,
when the snail will proceed to weld
the two shells together and occupy
both, using the addition as door and
possibly wondering at this sudden ex-
tension of its house. In the winter
some Of the snails hibernate or lie dor
mant until warm weather. A snail of
the Philippine Islands has faculty of
throwing of its tail when seized This

THE PRACTICAL PERSON AND

The person who possesses a practical
mind will witness the great epoch max.

provocative of circumspection but also
of introspection. 1t is good for the
nation that such a disease as is de-

that the individuals that are the

need of careful examination by the
reputable physician.
Ignorance of the characteristics of
such prevalent disease is not a desir-
able condition. This age demands to
know the hideous, fierce, bald, bare
