The Joy of Living

To enjoy life we must have good
health. No one can hope to get
much real pleasure out of life when
his bowels are clogged a good share
of the time and the poisons that should
be expelled are absorbed into the
system, producing headache and in
digestion. A few doses of Chamber
lain's Tablets will move the bowels,
strengthen the digestion and bive you
a chance to realize the real joy of
living. Try it.

Rains, or showers Of leaves of in
sects, and of small frogs, toads. and
fishes have often occurred, if we
can believe old chroniclers, and
some of these stories may have a
foundation OF fact to rest upon. As
10 leaves there can be no doubt of
the ability of air currents 10 carry
them many miles over the country,
while in countries where locusts
abound in certain years il is quite
possible for countless millions of the
insects to be caught up by heavy
winds and scattered broadcast over
wide areas.
Indeed, this seems to be the way
in which the locust plague is often
spread over parts of the country
that otherwise might escape. They
embark upon a wind like a pirate
fleet and sail away to conquest and
booty, stripping the land where
they alight as thoroughly as il fire
had swept over IL.
Stories Of showers Of small frogs
falling from the sky are more sus-
pect, inasmuch as some of the old
chrOniclers themselves noticed that
the frogs, instead of coming down
from the clouds, seemed TO spring
out Of the earth where the rain wet
the dust. Still. it would be possible
for whirlwind TO suck up the small
inhabitants OF a pond along with the
water, and thus frogs and fish in
limited numbers might occasionally
be seen falling in the midst of a
shower.

Stained Hail and

item. Insurance on COW and taxes on COW and stable do not need to be re- marked upon. Depreciation of COW IS found by taking Sf25 as the cost of the COW, allowing s75 as the price which will be received for her at the end of her period of usefulness, which would leave $50 depreciation. We have allowed six years as the pc riod of usefulness, which IS more than the usual time limit as the average goes. The item for barn rent IS ob- tained by allowing S4000 as the cost of the barn, which Is very low price for barn accommodations housing twenty-five cows. A modern barn to m eet the requirements of such dalry and sufficiently large to hold the hay and othec reughage at the present time would cost much more than this, but we have deducted from the pres ent cost of the barn a sufficient sum to take care of the housing room for the calves which usually go with a twenty-five COW dairy, leaving S4000 as the basis of the COW barn. Inter est on this amount at five per cent would be $200. Two per cent for de preciation on the building (which for term of years would take care of the necessary repairs, including painting), $8000, making a total of $2SO.00, CT S7 per COW. The item of bedding, $3.50 per COW per year, IS much less than the actual cost, as shown by the records of many of our leading dairymen. Three bales of shavings per COW are used each month on many of our dairy farms, and the three bales during the past winter have cost at least $l.00, so our item for bedding is very much below the average We have estimated the net cost of pure-b bred sire service at S612. This item is also below the average cost to those keeping pure bred sires in our state The rest of the record as compiled in regard to total cost, net cost, and cost of milk per quart you will readily under stand
 In the above compilation the fig ures showing the cost of producing milk, we have made no reference to the cost of managerial ability No farm can be run without it. It Is very important item, but one of the hardest items in the list on which to make a fair approximation as to cost It would add materially to the cost of production, but any one who reads this article will readily see that no es- innate has been above the actual cost That the final cost of quart of milk as shown by these figures is not over estimated is self evident.
