with and Replaced by Profit
able Producer.

How many dairymen would keep a
hired hand on their place who got up
when he felt like it, worked when he
felt like it, and did just as he pleased?
Such hired man would be a losing
proposition and the man, who would
keep him would soon become bank
rupt.
On the other hand, how many dairy
men are keeping boarder dairy cows
that produce just as little milk as they
feel like producing, with little or no
profit to the owner?
A dairyman cannot afford to keep
a man that does not do more work
than he is paid for doing. Neither
can he afford to keep a COW that does
not return more money to him than
he puts into her in feed and labor.
How many cows in your herd are
returning a fair profit for the feed

MAKING CANVASS 10
OBTAIN CITY TRADE
District Of Good Incomes Offers
Splendid Field.
Success Depends in Large Measure or
Personality Of Person Soliciting
Good Understanding Is usu-
ally Effected.

Producers sometimes obtain custo.
mers by making personal canvass
among city jewellers, say marketing
specialists of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture. The neigh
borhoOd selected should be one which
is not well supplied with markets or
grocery stores handling farm produce.
A suburban district of homes with
good incomes offers a good field in
which to solicit trade. Success in
making a personal canvass depends
in large measure on the personality
Of the person making the canvass. He
should be neatly dressed, should state
his business clearly and cOncisely,
showing the prospective customer why
direct marketing would be advantage
Gus and, if possible, he should have
samples of the produce that can be
furnished. AS this method of obtain
ing customers permits the consumer to
see and talk with the producer, a bet
ter understanding is usually effected
than if they had never seen each 9TH
err.
A man living a few miles from Balti-
more, who raised poultry found it i'm
practicable to market his poultry
products personally and was not salts
fed with the price he could obtain
locally. He made a personal canvass
of few homes in a desirable loca-
ton in Baltimore and obtained four
customers to whom he he0an SandinU
eggs by parcel post. Within a few
weeks they had recommended the pro-
Queer to sufficient number of custo-
mers to purchase all the eggs and
poultry the producer could supply.
Customers were retained by supplying
good quality products and by strict at
tentiOn to business relations.

when SUNDAY Was abandoned.

The movement to enforce a "Blue
Law Sunday on the people of the
United States recalls the fact that only
once since the days of Moses on Mt.
Sinai has Sunday been abandoned by
any nation claiming Jehovah as God.
That once was during and Immediately
after the French revolution. A decree
was drawn up by Goblet, archbishop OF
Paris, that the French should worship
Liberty, Equality and Reason in place
Of God, and, to make sure of the PEG
pies forgetting of the church, the
buildings were denuded of their sacred
ornaments and civic feasts substituted
for the feasts Of saints days, while
Sunday was wiped from the calendar
by. creating months Of 80 days each
and giving holiday every ten days.

WoMAN'S LOVE DEMANDS ALL
Can Never Be Satisfied With Anything
Less Than Absolute Dominion
over One Man.

What every woman wants more than
anything else in the world is absolute
dominion over one man. There is a
peculiarly vampish trend in feminine
love which takes the form Of demand
ing entire possession of the creature
upon whom the affections have been
fastened.
Every woman wants to feel that, no
matter what his occupation-be it the
most engrossing business or merely a
game Of golf-she is ever the COM
polling note at the back of her mans
head. He must not forget her for
single instant, and he must be regret
fully conscious that nothing is quite
satisfactory, lacking the saving grace
Of her presence. And she requires
continually to be assured of this. She
believes that in boarding her perpet-
ual recollection he holds a talisman
rendering him immune from the attrac-
tons or Establishments of all other
women.
1t is difficult for the feminine men
tality to grasp the curious power of
detachment of the masculine. A wom-
an cannot comprehend, much less SYM
pathize with, that trait by which a
man can divest himself completely Of
any thought of her while absorbed in
something else.
A mans mind-and this particular
ly refers to the man of many serious
interests-is like a number Of COM
partments, each sealed from the other
and dOcketed as to contents. While
he is in one he shuts out everything
pertaining to any other.
A woman has not this capability Of
detachment. Whether she is playing
bridge or apparently obsessed with
some knOtty domestic detail, she is
always subconsciously aware of the
one.
The retentive quality is the pre-
vailing characteristic of woman. 1t is
at once her greatest strength and her
greatest weakness-she cannot bear
to let go. If she sees the fame Of a
love on the wane she tries frantically
to restore it to its full force. A man
faced with the same contingency is
apt to be more resigned-or brutal
and makes haste to finish completely
the cooling affection.
A man likes to do a thing, have
done with it, and consign all memory
to oblivion-to wipe the slate clean
and be ready for something new

Just how serious is the danger Of
infection from imperfectIy washed
dishes in eating places has not been
determined, but the high count of
bacteria left upon restaurant utensils
suggests unpleasant possibilities. In
the investigation of Roy S. Dearstyne,
health official of Charlotte, N. c., the
utensils were from six eating houses,
Of which one used a modern electric
dishwasher. The bacteria on hand
washed coffee mugs from different
lunch rooms ranged from $4,000 to
100000; on water glasses, $4,000 to
10000; spoons, 3,4OO to 10000;
knives, 1900 to 10000; forks, 1900
to 1000. With the clearly machine
washing, the coffee mugs had $500
bacteria, no other utensils more than
1000.

succeeds in MoIdIna RasaIt.

The common volcanic rock known
as basalt cannot be easily shaped with
chisel and hammer, but DIR. Ribbe, a
French experimental, claims much
success for his method of shaping by
molding after it has been melted at
about 1900 degrees Centigrade. His
first product was CLASSY substance,
which he has since been able to
change to the crystalline structure of
the original rock by a devitrifying
process. The rock which has been
melted and nodded is found to be SUI
perior to the natural basalt in resist
ance to scratching and wear, and it
proves to be especially desirable for
such purposes as paving, curbstOnes
and stairs. 1t can be shaped with
great smoothness and exactness. AS
the material is not attacked by acids,
It is suitable for watts for chemical
use; and it is also an excellent cleo
trical insulator, and a useful sub
stance for firmly fixing metallic posts
or other fittings in place by using as
a hot paste

Until now the flag displayed on it the

WOMEN need SWAMP-ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and

Womens' complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bitiOn, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.

FEEDING cows SAWDUST

The facetious statement, re-
peated in a joking way, "Put
green goggles on the cows and
fool them by feeding sawdust
and shavings," is apparently not
going to be necessary in future
to feed them that product. It
has been found by experiment
that sawdust from non-resinOus
soft woods can be used, but it
first must undergo a process Of
treatment with certain acids,
which change a part of the dry
matter into carbohydrates. How
ever, the low protein content
Of sawdust as a feed would not
augur well for it's future use.
