Until Recently Product Has Been
Paid for Without Regard to Quail
ity-Farmers Organizing.

Discussing the cost Of producing
tribution by dealers, Prof. Fred Ras-
mussen, head of the dairy husbandry
department at the Pennsylvania state
college, recently asserted that milk
has until very recently been paid for
without regard to quality, the cheapest
and poorest milk determining the
price. The farmer, he said, has not
made use of collective bargaining in
the sale of milk, and as an individual
has accepted whatever price was Of
fered.
"The fact that milk has always been
obtainable farther away from the mar
ket at less price than the difference
in the cost of transportation" said
Professor Rasmussen, "has made it
difficult to get a rise in price of milk
for the farmer. The farmer as class
is slow to change and slow to organ
ize. 1t has been the history through
out the world that cooperation among
farmers develops only under economic
pressure.
"The fact that milk producers In
the eastern part of the United States
are today organizing to save their in
dustry from financial ruin is the best
evidence of the economic pressure the
industry is suffering. In the solving
of the crisis in the milk business today
many adjustments must be made"

HOMEMADE CARRIER IN BARN
Labor-Savins Device Easily Put To-

Chores Around Stables.

The daily toll about the barn in do

bor-saving devices are installed. One
of these devices is a manure carrier.
I made one as follows: The body of
the carrier is made of pine boards for
the ends, shaped as in the sketch, and
onto these ends 1 nailed sheet-iron
sides and bottoms, as shown, says a
South Dakota writer in The Farmer.
Then I bent an ordinary one-inch gas
pipe into q shape, forming the frame,

tune. But when she spoke it sounded
like someone who didn't know how
trying to play the slide trombone. She
was simply deaf, it seemed, to the
subtleties of infection.
Daily, she reduced Galbraith to help
less wrath. Evidently he didn't mean
to be brute about it. He began ev-
cry one of his tussles to improve her
reading of a line with a gentleness
that would have done credit to a kin
dergartener. But after three attempts,
each more ominously gentle than the
last, his temper would suddenly fly all
to pieces.
The girl, queerly, didn't seem to
care. But in the dressing room one
night, after one of these rehearsals,
Rose got different view. AS she set
down on a bench to unlace her shoes,
she looked straight into Edna Lar
sons face-a face sunken with
| despair that turned Rose cold. The
fearless, tragic eyes were staring,
| without recognition, straight into
Roses own.
Rose delayed her dressing till the
other girls were gone, then sat down
beside Edna.

very inadequate. I'm going to help
you"
'It's always like this" the girl said.
''It's no use. He'll put me back in the
chorus again."
''Not if 1 can help it," Rose said.
"But the first thing to do is to come
along and get something to eat"
During the next hour Rose learned,
for the first time, what the weight OF
an immense melancholy inertia can be.
The girl was like one paralyzed-
paralyzed by repeated failures and
disasters, of which she told Rose
freely. When Galbraith had put her
into the sextette, hope, just about
dead, had been reawakened. She'd |
learned to dance well enough to es-
cape censure, and she'd seen for her.

voice was to the sextette. And then
it had appeared she'd have to talk

story was told. (This was across the
table in dingy little lunch room.)
you're going to say your lines before
tomorrows rehearsal so that Galbraith
won't stop you once. We're going to
my room now, and I'm going to teach
you. Come along"
In sort of daze, the girl went.
Rose put her into chair, sat down
her, took the first phrase of
her first speech, and said it very slow
y, very quietly, half dozen times.
That was at half-past eleven o'clock
1T night. By midnight, Edna could say
hose first three words to Roses sat-
sfaction. They worked like that
straight through the night, except that
.wo or three times the girl broke

inches. A little retaining or trip lever
was also fastened to the frame and
engages in a suitable slot in the end
of the carrier body. This lever is
shown in the sketch, and it is to keep
the carrier body in place when loading,
and to release the body so that it will
swing on the pivots in unloading.
The next thing was to put up the
track. I used round steel cable pur-
chased from the local dealer and fas-
tened this to a post in the barnyard
suitably guyed and anchored. The
other end of the cable ran through
the barn door to the opposite side.
There 1 fastened it to the wall securely
and stretched it tight. Then l hung

something very different from a pranc-
ing chorus girl. The others giggled
and exchanged glances with Dave at
the piano. They didn't understand.
To them, the compliment seemed to
have been delivered with the left
hand. And somehow, an amused rec
ognition of the fact that they didn't
understand, as well as of the fact that
she did, flashed across from John
Galbraith's eyes to hers.
The impetus and direction of Roses
career derived from two incidents
which might just as well not have
happened-two of the flukiest of small
chances.
The first of these chances concerned
itself with Edna Larson and her bad
voice. 1t was bad voice only when
she talked. When she sang it had

1. Have the herd examined at least
once a year by a competent veteri-
marian. Promptly remove animals sus-
pected of being in bad health. Never
add an animal to the herd until GER
tain it is free from disease, particu-
larly tuberculosis.
g. Never allow a COW to be excited
by fast driving, abuse or unnecessary
disturbance.
8. Clean the entire body of the COW
daily. Hair in the region of the udder
should be kept short by clipping.
4. Do not allow strong-fiavored food,
like cabbage or turnips, to be eaten
except Immediately after milking.
Changes in feed should be made grad
ually.

"What professional experience have
you had?' he asked.
81 haven't had any,"
He almost smiled when she stopped
there. ANY amateur experienced" he
inquired.
"Quite lot" said Rose; "pageants
and things, and two or three little
plays"
'Can you dance?"
"Yes," said Rose.
He said he supposed ballroom dane
ing was what she meant, whereupon
she told him she was a pretty good
ballroom dancer, but that it was gym
nastic dancing she had in mind.
"All right" he said. "See if you
can do this. Watch me, and then
initiate me exactly"
In the intensity Of her absorption
IN his questions and her own answers
to them, she had never given thought
to the bystanders. But now as they
fell back to give him room, she swept
glance across their faces. They all
wore smiles of sorts. There was some
thing amusing about this-something
out of the regular routine. A little
knot of chorus girls halted in the act
of going out the wide doors, and stood
watching. Was it just a hoax? The
suppressed, unnatural silence sounded
like it. But at what John Galbraith
did, one of the bystanders guffawed
outright.
1t wasn't pretty, the dance step he
executed-a sort of stiff-legged skip
accompanied by a vulgar hip wriggle
and concluding with a straight-out
sidewise kick. A sick disgust clutched
at Rose as she watched-an utter re-
vulsion from the whole loathly busi-
ness.
"Well?" he asked, turning to her as
he finished. He wasn't smiling at all.
"I'm not dressed to do that" she
said.
81 know you're not" he admitted
coolly; "but it can be done. Pick up
your skirts and do it as you are--if
you really want a job"
There was just a faint edge of con-
tempt in that last phrase and, merci-
fully, it reused her anger. A blaze
kindled in her blue eyes, and two spots
of vivid color defined themselves in
her cheeks.
She caught up her skirts as he had
told her to do, executed without COM
promise the stiff-legged skip and the
wriggle, and finished with horizon
tai, sidewise kick that matched his

Galbraith was staring at her with a

astonishment, but gradually complicat-
