In view of the great prevalence last

cleanliness. The State Board of
Health, in order to reach the masses

STATE DAIRY INSPECTOR
PAYS TRIBUTE TO cow

A good milk cow in a family is Sec
ond in Importance only to a good wife.
A milk cow should not be compelled
to stand around an old straw stack,
in mud, filth, snow and cold rains, or
housed in an old cold stable that has
not been cleaned out all winter and
then be expected to furnish good milk
for your babies. If you love your
wife and babies, you should take care
of your milk COW.
Most potent of all single influences
in the building of this mightiest ma
ton in history is the cow. Her sons
drew the plows which first cultivated
the land of the new world, hauled to
the market the products of the field,
and with slow energy, moved the chat
tells and household goods beyond the
mountains to new homes in the furth-
er west.
They supplied the beef which is the
food Of the Anglo-Saxon, race that
was never conquered since history be-
gan. They furnished the shoes of the
pioneers who trod the unknown wilds
and made of them the farmsteads and
cities of our present enlightenment.
They gave the clothes and robes to
protect the pioneer against the de-
stroying winds of winter and made
commerce possible before the railroad
was. They covered the chair upon
which he sat, filled the mattress upon
which he slept and glued together the
furniture he used.
The old cow is mother of the whole
bovine race. From the roadside weed
she manufactures the most nourishing
goods. She is the ever ready aid to
the farmer the pet of the rich man
and the ever help of the poor. She
is the economist of the people and the
conservator of their resources. She
partakes of the grass of the field and
leaves the farm richer for her pres
ence.
AS she helped to develop the farm
from the wilderness and ate of it's
fruits, so will she renew the life Of
the soil and make a still greater agri-
culture possible.
In all our history the cow has been
mans closest friend and benefactor.
Upon her products are built the great
business interests which center in the
stock yards, the creamcrics, the shoe
factories, the harness shops and the
mills.
Take away the COW and our banks
would close, our graveyards yawn
and the wheels of commerce would
cease to turn. Foster and care for
her and business f1ourishcs, the fertil-
ity of the soil is conserved and she
becomes the custodian of the Nations
prosperity.

It was the smallest kind of game that the Howell
Brothers, Richmond, Va, found when they had stalked
"the high cost of doing business to its lar-nothing,
in fact, but the high cost of little errors.
The errors were picayune affairs-too small even to
have been suspected, but in the aggregate, they made a
good sized bag.
And it isn't mere coincidence that after these penny
and nickel errors had been smoked out of the business,

Error hunting is over now-there's no more game.
Today, all figures are turned over to the Burroughs.

All accounts payable are checked before cheque is
mailed. Result another source of leaks stopped.
Postings are proved and trial balance made up ON the

The Burroughs is used in taking inventory, for making
deposit sllps-in short for all figuring where speed and
