 Well" said my friend, T took your advice about the post cards and saw Shorey about it. I got a whole bunch of them, a whole dozen for 25 cents-some of them would have cost me ten cents each in Los Angeles or San Francisco, for I went after the imported ones. One of these in par ticular was just about the prettiest picture ever saw-almost a duplicate of my sweetheart herself. The in scription under this said I'd leave my happy home for you

Say, where can I get some real pretty post cards?" friend asked me during the holiday season.
 See Shorey about it," I replied, for I knew that he always keeps a very fine assortment on hand, ranging from the Indian squaw and her twins, with the tell-tale inscription of ''hot meals at all hours," to past cards of the most artistic character all the way from the Fatherland.
 I'll go get me a package of them, for I have a sweetheart way back East who is making a collection of them, and she is so anxious to out-do her friends in that line that I some times think she would rather get a post card from me than a real old fashioned love letter." said my friend.

BORROW MONEY ID
 BUY GOODS FOR CASH

That it is better economy to borrow money from the bank with which to pay cash at the store, than to buy goods from the country store on a credit basis, would seem to be proven by the results of a rural credits inves- tigation that is being carried on in the state of Texas.
 The facts are that the average farm CT who receives credit from the store does not know what rate of interest the merchant is charging him, and this rate may run anywhere from 10 to 50 per cent, or more. It is much more desirable for the farmer to borrow money from the bank against his crop at fixed rate of interest which is definitely stated, and to use that money for paying cash at the store, which will make sufficient reduc- ion for the payment of cash.
 In some parts of Texas this plan has been tried, and in several instances the credit stores have been absolutely put out of business by the cash stores whose customers borrow money from the bank whenever necessary.
 Are there not sections of Arizona to which this same principle appIies?- Prof s. F. Morse, Supt U. of A., Agr. Service.

some in dairy sections, but is doubly so when the feeding and milking place is near the house. Even when the win dows and porches are screen ed, the flies will find an en- trance through the cracks and broken meshes in the screens, and, when once in- side the house it is difficult to get rid of them.
 One of the latest theories regarding flies and their hab- its is that they should be kill ed in the early stage of their life history before they enter the house.
 To do this it is recommend ed that traps be placed out side the house, rather than near the back door or on the screened porch. These traps should be baited with fresh fruit, preferably ripe melons, bananas, fresh, juicy DeacheS. etc.

The young flies like sweet, clean, dainty food and if it can be trapped and killed within the first two or three weeks of it's life, before it has begun to lay its eggs, millions of flies will be destroyed.
 Not until a fly is four or five weeks old does it seek a dirty place, such as the old manure pile, in which to lay it's eggs. The fly breeds in filth, but it spends the first part of it's life in clean places; therefore, before it gains an entrance to the house it should be destroyed.
 This method of fly exter- imitation has been tried in Redlands, California, with very marked success, it is said, and that city is now known as "flyless town"

Hello pretty lady," gaiy calls the baby, As she stands by the half open gate; Sweetly she smiles and waves at the lady All love in her heart and no thought of hate. Hello pretty lady" quaintly comes the call And the breeze blows her curls around, As the baby mods welcome to one and all And waves her hand, dimped and Drowned If we were all like this baby so dear,
 Always ready to greet each one we meet With hearty handclaSp and word of cheer, What world this would belt couldn't be beat. So often we miss the opportunity to speak A word of comfort to the one who is blue" We are wrapped up in self and forget to seek The friend we would help-f we only knew.

longest in the history of the factory,
lasting four and half months. in
which time the sugar will be extracted
from 10000 acres of beets, the largest
acreage ever grown here. During the
long campaign more than 600 men will
be employed. and, in addition. another
$50 will be employed at the different
receiving stations.
Figuring on last years production,
a little more than twelve tons to the
acres, on an average, the huge Long
mont yield this year will be $4,000
tons. The average price last year was
a trifle under Sc per ton. This year
the company will pay so cents more
per ton. or an average of $3.50. which
will bring the grand total received by
the farmers for their beets TO $1,000
900 or more.
The beet crop has spelled prosper
ity to the Longmont section for sew
eral months. The growers will share
their $2,000,000 to the extent of $780,
900 for field work alone, nearly all
of which will find its way over the
counters of the Longmont merchant.

Essential to Keep Records
1t is difficult, therefore, to see how a
dairyman can afford To run the risk
of keeping Improbable cows by refus-
ing to keep records. A merchant who
could not take time to keep books
would soon go bankrupt; and business
methods must be the rule on the dairy
farm If IL profitable business is to be
built up. Even II 1t should take one
weeks work In year to keep good
system of records. the time will be well
spent IL the work of the year were to
result in an annual profit of S1,715, or
u loss of $539 as consequence of
keeping records or not keeping them.
The time required is really very small.
The milk record is the dairyman's
barometer; by means OF 1t he cnn keep
checked up on his Individual cows, on
his mixers and on his system of feed
ing. BY means of 1t he will notice any
increase or decrease in milk flow, and
in the latter case be able to avoid trou-
bic by removing the cause. More inter
est is taken in feeding the cows care
fully when their records are kept. A
circular balance scale and sheet OF
paper ruled OF, together with the Bah
cock test will do the work. Cow test
ing associations are doing good work
all over the country. From ten to
twenty or more farmers may club to-
gether and agree to pay n qualified
man to test their herds each month,
sharing expenses equally. The system
is particularly valuable to the men
with purebred herds, as they can get
their good animals tested for the ad
vanced register. Record keeping helps
the dairyman to get rid OF his rob
ber."
Gull Out Improbable Cows
Cows that prove unprofitable should
be sold Mt once. Those paying only
small profit may be kept until better
ones are bought or raised to take their
places. Young heifers that do not
show up during their first lactation
period may sometimes make a good
showing on a second years trial. Good
cows can often be purchased that win
pay for their feed. care and cost prices
