GULL DAIRY HERDS.

Eliminate All Cows That Fall to Show
Profit on Feed.
Owing to present high prices for feed
and labor, culling dairy herds Of low
producers is needed more than ever be
fore. Inferior cows lower herd profits
but they can be detected by individual
milk and butter records.
Low yields mean small profits OF
more often actual losses. The cost of
milk production was figured at 10 cents
a gallon by the Ohio agricultural ex-
pertinent station for seventy-six yearly
records from thirty-one dairy herds dur
ing 1910 to 1916 Feed, labor and sup
plies have since increased about 80 per
cent, making the cost at least 10 cents
a gallon These herds are all above
the average in production. Unless the
COW is a good producer the cost of
milk production will be much above
this figure and consequent loss. All
COWS not up to standard should be
culled out and sold for beef.
Individual records of each days milk
and the amount Of butter produced will
show up the questionable animals.
Scales and the Babcock test are finding
a greater place every day on dairy
farms Private and official testing is
becoming more popular because it shows
where profits come from and what
cows cause any losses. A standard is
thus set for building up future profit
able dairy herds.

How 70 Remember THINGS.

In an article about a man with a
great memory a writer In the Ameri-
can Magazine says:
"Any test which trains your mind to
really see things at quick glance will
help a lot One of the best tests
know is to stand in front of the show
window of store and glance quickly
at all the articles in the window and
then turn away and see how many you
can remember. Practice will make any
one pretty adept at this.
Look at the passengers opposite you
In street car. Then shut your eyes
and try to visualize each one of them.
Glance at the advertising placards over
their heads. Close your eyes and see
how many you can repember. All
these things will help you in remem-
bering a mans features from a quick
glance. 1t would be impolite and usu-
ally impossible to stand and atare in a
mans face for three or four minutes.
Meet all the people you can. Watch
them. Keep lists of their names. Sit
down at night and check up the people
you have met that day. See how clear
ly you can call up the image of each"

novertx In China.

A wealthy Chinese money lender In
Manchuria was convicted of making
false declarations regarding robberies
OF his caravans by Monaghan bandits.
His conscience troubled him to such
an extent that he offered to contribute
an annual sum of $3.50 for the relief Of
the poor. This money was made the
basis of q fund for feeding the help
less at Kungchuling.
Manchuria Is terribly poor. despite
the mineral and agricultural riches ex-
tracted from its soil and rocks, all Of
which products are shipped abroad.
There are probably thousands Of in-
dustrious natives unable by unremit-
ting toll to earn more than q meager
living. When to their natural difficult
ties are added the ravages Of bandits
and the evils Of misgovenment, such
as prevail In many parts of China, alb
ject poverty and starvation must be

times are only half fed.-East and

The Taking of umbrase.

Barrie's famous story in when a
Mans Single" about the taking of
Umbrage'' is said to have been by no
means fictitious. The incident" was
actually the work of a practical joker
on the staff of well known provincial
paper in England. 1t was in 1864, at
the time of the famous Seven Days
war waged by Austria and Germany
on Denmark. and this journalist, know
ing how late news was dealt with at
the Office Of certain other paper, con-
trived that a message should reach
that paper early one morning announc-
ing, under the heading Of 1.-THE War In
Denmark" THE Enemy Have Taken

q place In the North sea, and full par
ticulars about 1t were supplied. The
plot succeeded, the momentous news

for several days.-Argonaut.

Possible orinln Of Khaki.

There are many versions Of the
origin Of khaki, but one that is new to

aters who followed Nicholson through
the breach at Delhi.
During the siege there. he tells me,
e IVES noticed that the white drill unt
forms of the regiment, then known as
the old DIRTY Shirts.r the first Euro
pean Bengal fusiIers Of the old com
pany's service, proved excellent marks
IN the moonlight for the Sepoy mutt
neers who held the city.
The men were told, therefore, to
darken them by any means they could
find. Their method was to boil the uni
forms In the ''dixies" or regimental
kettles In which tea was made, to-
gether with bark stripped from the
trees In the neighborhood, which made
q fairly satisfactory brown dye.

Earth Curvature and Vision.

One of the "seven wonders of the an
Client world" was the pharos, or light
tower at Alexandria. If you have a
popular account Of that great structure
handy, read 1t carefully and note that
you are informed that the tower could
be seen at a distance Of from 100 to
100 miles
Let us see If this could possibly be
true. The curvature of the globe is
900 inches to the mile. This being true,
we find that an object hundred feet
high can be seen only at a fraction over
thirteen miles. Figuring on the basis
Of an earth curvature of even seven
inches to the mile, we find that the
light tower in question must have been
over mile In height If visible even at
