INTERIOR OF WELL.EQUIPPED DAIRY.

kept in a poorly lighted. unclean' ana
fy-infested stable, or from a herd
which obtains its chief sustenance
from a nearby stack of wheat straw.
Fortunately such conditions are rapid
ly disappearing and in some localities
have entirely disappeared.
Dairyman's Problem.
Economy of production, however Is
only half of the dairymans problem.
The truly efficient manager of dairy
farm must furnish a first-class product,
then he must go a step further and
get price that corresponds to the
quality of the article produced. High
testing milk should bring higher
price than low-testing milk. and 1t is
not good policy to sell the former at a
fiat rate per hundred pounds, regard
less of quality. High-grade dairy prod
ucts should always command a price
in accordance with their quality.
If dairyman's business is well con-
Quoted 1t becomes highly interesting
and fairly profitable. The successful
dairyman drives his business, the bust
ness does not drive him; he does not
merely keep cows, but makes the cows
keep him. Such dairyman may be
| expected to manage his farm so that
he and his family can get pleasure and
profit therefrOm.

SATISFACTION IN A PROFITABLE DAIRY

modern dairy farm. If a bull Of first
class breeding and good individuality
costs too much, a number of neighbOrs
may club together and buy bull of
better quality than any one of them
alone could afford. In many localities
bull associations have been formed to
meet just such conditions. Dairying
can never become highly profitable I'M
til the scrub bull is forever banished
from our dairy farms. This includes
the registered scrub.
Pleasure or Profit.
If dairying is to provide either pleas
ure or profit, the Improbable COW must
be disposed of. The well-bred, high
producer that takes her place must be
properly and economically fed and
cared for. Contrasting associations
have demonstrated that the feed of
the dairy herd can sometimes be Sc
lected, balanced and distributed among
the individual cows in such way as
to decrease feed costs One-third and
at the same time increase milk prOduc-
ton.
No one should expect to derive either
pleasure or profit from a scrub herd

NEGLECT OF THE PERSIMM0N
Mistaken Idea to Think That Fruit Is
Not Edible Until Touched by
Erost-Much Is Lost.

One reason for the neglect of the
persimmOns as fruit is the mistaken
idea that it is unfit to eat until touched
by frost. AS matter of fact much
of the best fruit is lost each year, be-
cause it ripens and falls to the ground
where, not being touched by frost, it
Is left to rot.
Such persimmons as are not edible
before frost comes are late variety,
and the reason that they quicker the
mouth is because they have not yet
ripened. In general, the best fruits are
those that ripen just before the leaves
fall.

SATISFIED VIM SIMPLE LIFE


They take things less seriously down
In the Andes country. The Latin races
live their lives easily. There is a lack
of realization Of the seriousness and
meaning of life, an habitual inclination
to take things lightly. With no strug-
gle to be,,er their lot In life or fight
against untoward circumstances, they
calmly resign themselves to the fate OF
the unseen hand. In family life there
Is much affectionate generosity and
contentment; life for them is simpler
and less intense than in Anglo
Saxon countries.
There the women care little for the
ballot. Are they backward? Does CIV
ilization lag? Perhaps; but those who
travel there declare that the morning
star of duty as wife and mother, even
in their limited conception Of its mean
ing, shines all the brighter in
comparison. In their own wide rami-
fed family circles their influence Is
felt, while their outside interest cen
tiers in the church.
The wealthy sonora Is looked up to
by her poorer sisters and in the small
towns and haciendas where her nu'
merous family connections are the lead
ing people of the community, she ex'
tends a kindly and charitable benefi
cence to them and to all who serve
them in any. capacity. When these
women come of old Spanish stock they
are extremely exclusive and ancient
rules of etiquette guide their social re
lationships. Their daughters go to thu
convent schools, receive limited edu
cation and return home to continue thu
same regime as has held sway since
the day when their fOrbears left Spain

CAMPH0R TREES IN FLORIDA

The growing of camphOr trees In
Florida is being studied by the de-
partment of agriculture. The special
lists have discovered that instead of
being able to take camphOr from trees
only once in so years, as has been the
rule, it is possible to produce camphor
each year by pruning the leaves from
the trees and distilling them.

SMALLER YIELDS OF COTTON
Big Crop Invariably Results in Low
Prices for StapIe-PIant to Sup
ply Actual Demand.

Don't forget the lesson of large acre
age and big yields of cotton. A big
cotton crop has invariably resulted in
low prices and heavy losses to pro-
ducers.
1t is well to plant to supply actual
demand and then meet the demand by
