TWELVE YEAR OLD
MAKES GREAT RECORD

Grace Darlinga of st. Mary'S is the
Jersey aged champion milk and butter
fat producer in the world. When II
years. months old she began her last
yearly record and when the year had
ended she had produced S63 pounds fat
and 1451J pounds milk. which is the
highest production for any COW Of amy
breed of that age The previous high
record for a cow over II years old was
S:}3 pounds fat.
Grace Darling of St Mary's has been
a heavy producer all her life and the
record referred to is not phenomenal
for her She produced 800 pounds of
fat in Il year as Il Seven-year-O We
call attention to this last record be-
cause it shows that few years of
heavy production does not necessarily
ruin Il COW. as great many people
seem to think ON the contrary, the
COW may continue to produce heavily,
as this one shows. for over 10 years.
1t is another illustration of the value of
good breeding. OF course Grace Oar
ling was mquesti0nably well fed while
ing is Il prime requisite to heavy pro-
ductiOn but the record is another
proof of the fact that the farmer who
continues to milk COWS that are only
up to the average in fat production,
which is below 100 pounds for the
United States, is on the wrong track.
Let us quit milking unproductive COWS
or COWS that barely pay for the feed
they consume. Milking isn't such Il
pleasant task that it is worth while I'M
less it can be done at Il profit.
Why not get a good bull if you are
in the dairy business and begin grad

LADYSMITH NEEDS
A MARKET PLACE

A reader who raises potatoes, told
the writer that he had some old pOta-
toes to sell last spring and he asked a
local merchant what he would pay him
for them. The merchant offered him
$500 per bushel. He then asked the
price he could buy some potatoes for,
and was offered them at $500 per bu.
When profits like these are taken,
there is no question but that a farmer
consumer market place in this city
would be benefit to % per cent of the

These market places are big sue
cess in various places in the cast where
they were put in to correct existing
evils. and after once started they are

John in Search OF A Place

Well John, have you succeeded
today, my SOM"
mo, mother; | have been nearly
all over town, and no one would
take me. But l think IL you had
been with me, | should have stood
a better chance"
Il was a cold, bleak night, and
John had been out all day looking
for a place" He had tried hard,
until it was quite dark, and then
gave up, thinking his mother must
be tired of waiting for him.
Johns mother was a widow, and
a very poor one. She had kept her
self by needlework, till severe
trial of sickness had confined her
to her bed, and she was unable to
do more She told her little son
to sit down by the fire, while she
got him some food. The fire and
the supper she got him were very
scanty; but John knew it was the
best she could provide, and he felt
that he would rather share such
fire and such supper with so kind
a mother, than sit at the best filled
table with anybody else who did
not love him as his mother. or
whom he did not love as he did her.
After few moments of silence
the boy looked up into his mothers
face and said: Mother, do you
think it would be wrong to ask my
new Sabbath school teacher about
a placer"
mo, my child; not if you have
at other times. and | think he
would be a very proper person; at
least, l should think that he would
be interested in getting you a good
place" "Well, tomorrow is Sab
bath day, and when the class breaks
up, will ask him."
After reading portion of Gods
Holy word, the mother and her
little boy kneeled down together to
pray. She asked God to bless them
with his Holy Spirit, that they
might truly repent Of sin and
through faith in Jesus Christ, OBJ
tain pardon. She prayed that God
would care for them and as a ia
Their give them his rich grace and
do that which he knew to be best
for them, for Christ's sake.
Il feel happier now" said John
Il was so tired when | came in that
l felt quite sad; did l looks so,
mother?"
The mothers heart was full, and
she gave her boy a kiss which was
sweeter to him than many words.

This he was made to enter and sit

inside while the elephant started

| After this he was dressed as a
workman, with pipe in his mouth
and a hod of mortar strapped to
his shoulder, and made to walk
part way round the ring on his
hind legs. Then he was allowed to
rest and was given bunch of car,
rots to eat. While he was eating
these Betty was brought in hitched
| to a little low-wheeled cart. Then
a Great Dane dog was brought in
hitched to a similar cart. After
that a man pulled in another cart
like the other two and hitched
Billy to that. The carts were
painted red. white and blue and

carried in, put into the carts, with
/ the reins over their necks. Then
the goat, burro, and dog were put
neck to neck. ready to start on the
race that was to begin when the
ring master cracked his whip.
At the signal the dog got started
ahead, but half way around the
ring Billy passed him; the next
time around the dog was ahead,
when slow Betty baked in the mid
die of the course and both the goat
and dog ran into her upsetting the
carts and splitting out the little lady
drivers. None of them was hurt.

making all the noise they could.
