of the long hall two old lumber rooms

poor and her first effort to secure a
place to work had met with disappoint-

told her, but the copying became so

take long for Natalie to ascertain that
her employer was distinctly of the

disreputable class and their cases such

There was more than one case that
the old legal shark had in his charge
where Natalie was well aware Subter-

MILKR0OM is A NECESSITY
Particularly Desirable in Warm
Weather and Should Be Screened
and Kept Clean.

A milkroom is a necessity in dairy
ing, according to w. E. Tomson, in
structor in dairy husbandry in the
Kansas State Agricultural college.
A milkroom is needed at all times,
but is particularly important in warm
weather, pointed out Mr.. Tomson. Milk
must be kept away from flies. The
room should be tightly screened and
kept in sanitary condition.
The mi1kroom affords good facilities
for keeping the milk cool. This is es-
sential because when the temperature
of the milk is higher than degrees

milk to spoil In short time are likely

Acceptance Was Prompt.

Sir Johnston Forbes-Robertson tells
this story of William Terriss, the
handsomest actor of his day:
Irving was very fond OF Terriss,
and was nightly amused by the un-
conscious impertinence with which
Terriss greeted him. Irving had a
grillroom just of the stage at the Ly-
ceum, near his own dressing room.
One night Terriss smelled the savory
odor of appetizing cooking.
"+Fine smell, thatI he said to Irv-
ing during a wait in the wings.
~-Yes, very goodi' agreed Irving,
and added. You must come along
some time and have supper with me,

Nothing would please me better

promptly.

DOG FANcIERs FACING RUIN
| Dealers in England See Disaster In
High Taxes Placed on Animate
to Conserve Food Supply.

Dog fanciers in England. especially
che women, say that the new dog
taxes are going to kill the business
they have been carefully building up
for years. They do not object to tho
suggested increase on old licenses, but
they fear the big tax on new dogs Is
going to brighten away all their GUS
toners.
There are many British women with.
small incomes living in the country
who have invested most of their money
in dogs as a business. They were
willing to mark time till the end Of
the war, looking forward to a revival
in their business afterward. Trade Is.
of course slack just now, but with no
money coming in at all they will be
unable to retain their kennels.
One fancier spoke bitterly of the
sensational stories told in certain-Quar-
tiers about pampered dogs and the i'm
possible amount of food they were ac-
cused Of eating.

VALUABLE HINTS FOR DAIRY
Overlooking Causes More Trouble
Than Observation-Disclosures Change
to Skim Milk Gradual.

(By H. H. KILDEE. University Farm. St
Pau1)
In rearing and developing dairy
heiferS:
Don't overfeed. Twice as many
calves are stunted by overlooking as
by underfeeding.
Don't change suddenly from whole
to skim milk.
Don't keep calves in damp, dark,
crowded, poorly ventilated barns.
Don't feed milk in dirty pals.
Don't be irregular as to time of feed
ing, temperature or amount of milk.
Don't feed too much alfalfa hay be-
fore the calf is three months old.
Don't let calves suck each other
after drinking milk. They should be
placed in stanchions and fed grain.
Don't make calf go without water
because it has had milk.
Don't let calf drink foaming milk
just from the separator.

Dairyman Must Answer Various Cues

er of Herd Sire.

Ry L. w. WING, JR-, Missouri Agri-
cultural College,
The present sharp competition in the
dairy business and the increased price
of feed force the successful dairyman
to secure the greatest return possible
from his outlay. If he has registered
cows he expects more for his progeny
than if he had only grades. But to
obtain more and enough more to pay
to keep purebred stock, the dairymen
must be able to answer the following

questions from the prospective buyer
of a herd sire. Is the sire registered?
What is the record of his dam? How
many advance registry daughters and
proved sons has his sire? And what
are the records of his CANADIANS and
grandsires? If the breeder is selling
a registered COW he must answer:
What is her record; the record of her
dams and canadians and the ability
of her sire and grandsires to produce
advance registry daughters and proved
sons?

Didn't Want to Miss Point.

Willie was riding in n street car
with his mother. In the seat back of
them was a man relating in a rather
loud voice to companion the story OF
some boyhood escapade. Willie, twist

open mouth. The mother, on APP

off the car, taking Willie by the hand,
