How Good Cows Pay.

It is we'll known that dairy COWS, to
be profitable, must be comparatively
large producers, yet few people fully
realize the remarkable rate at which
income advances as production in
creases. TabulatiOns of 5,5S7 CONTEST
ing association records from various
parts of the United States, covering a
period of four years, show that as the
average butterfat production increased
from 80 to 200 pounds, the income
over cost of feed advanced from $21
to S34; that is, gain of so pounds, or
331s per cent, in production gave an
increased income of 60 per cent over
feed cost. The next gain of so pounds
raised the income over cost of feed to
$50, the next to S63, the next to S74,
the next to SS7, the next to 800, and
the last to Sis.
As the butterfat production increased
from 80 pounds to 800 pounds, the in
come over cost of feed advanced from
sol to S63; in other words, as produc-
ton doubled, income over cost of feed
advanced three times. When the but
terfat production increased from 80
pounds to 40 pounds-that is, trebled
the income over cost of feed adj
vanced from $21 to 500, or almost five
times as much.

The Garden of Eden.

The question of the site of Eden
has greatly agitated theologians; some
placed it near Damascus, others in Ar
menia, some in the Caucasus, others
at Hollah, near Babylon; others in
Arabia, and some in Abyssinia. The
Hindus refer it to Ceylon, one writer
locates it at the North Pole, and a
learned Swede asserts that it was in
Sudermania. Several authorities con-
cur in placing it in a p ninsula formed
by the main river Of E.en, on the east
side of it, below the confluence Of the
lesser rivers which emptied themselves
into it, at about q degrees north lati-
tude, now swallowed up by the Per-
sian gulf, an event which may have
happened at the universal deluge, 1884
B. G. Many, however, think that the
whole story of Eden is a legend and
that accordingly, the man who tries
to find its site is like the blind man
who looks in dark room for his black
hat that is not there.

Wars Need for Good Cows.

The profitable dairy cow helps to
feed our armed forces and will help US
win the war, but the low-prOducing,
Improbable scrub is little better than
a Stacker. The Improbable COW may
enjoy perfect health and have a large
appetite she may even belong to one
of the best cow families, but if she is
not an economical producer she should
be converted into meat.
The present, however, is not the time
TO dispose of dairy herds; rather it is
the time TO enlarge and improve them.
The city, the country, and the army
need more dairy products; the dairy
COW also assists greatly in maintaining
permanent soil fertility; and the care
fully selected, well-bred, well-fed dairy
cow may still be kept at profit. Let
the slogan, therefore, be: Careful Sc
lection. intelligent breeding, and skill
full feeding.

Snakes as Pest pestroyers.

Snakes are not our enemies, says
Gayne K. Norton in American Forest
ry. They never attack except in self
defense. OF our Ill species only II
are pOisOnOus-two species of FLAPS,
cora, snakes, and 10 species of GRO
taline snakes, the copperhead and moe
casin, the dwarf and typical rattle
snakes. On the other hand. the help
they render is valuable. The pests
destroyed each year, especially ro-
dents that injure crops and carry COM
municable diseases, roll up large bal
ance of good service in their favor.
Rodents are destroyers of farm
products, cause loss by fire through
gnawing matches and insulation from
electric wires, and of human life
through germ-carrying, particularly the
bubonic plague.

WANTED HIS MONEYS WORTH
NobIeman Evidently Had Some Idea
That Great Musician Was Giving
Him the Worst of It.

Wieniawski had his humorous expert
ences, this even after he was quite
widely known, writes Alexander Bloch
In the New York Times. On one occa-
sion he was asked by a wealthy Brit
ish nObleman to state his terms for
playing half an hour at his home.
They came to an agreement, and on
the evening of the musicale Wieniaw-
ski opened the program with Beethov-
ems "Romanze In F."
He was playing his best and deeply
engrossed in the music when he sud-
denly noticed out Of the corner of his
eye the host nervously looking at his
watch. This happened several times
before the "Romanze" was finished.
At It's close, as he was bowling his ac-
acknowledgements to rapturous applause,
the British peer caught him by the
sleeve and whispered in his ear:
"FOr heavens sake, man, how much
do You expect to get through in half
an hour at this rate? Why do you
play such slow pieces?"

BOY PROBABLY TOLD TRUTH
Chances Are There Was Good, Hard

Occasionally there are times when
a lie is the truth. The following story
illustrates that paradox:

tain Methodist missionary in that
state, in the course of his travels, came
to n slough which looked so formi-

"Oh, yes"

"Oh, yes" said the boy.
The man started to cross; his horse
mired, and he had TO dismount and
