GOOD Practice NOW TO FEED
COWS GRAIN

Campaigns for better feeding and
better dairy cows are in order at any
time, but the present is an especially
opportune time for agitation and
work of this kind, in the opinion OF
A. J. Mcclure of~the agricultural ex-
tension division Of the state univer'
sity.
"There has never been a time in
the history Of dairy farming" says
Mr.. Mcclure, "when it will pay Sc
well to feed grain literally as at pres.
ent. a dairy farmer can afford to
feed grain when a bushel Of oats an6
a pound of butterfat are the same
price. This year a pound of butterfat
is double the market value of bushe]
Of oats, and other grain is lower than
it has been for years.
ttThe success Of cooperative
creamery depends upon three factors
a sufficient amount of butterfat, the
manufacture of high quality OF
butter, and good business manage
,ment. 1t certainly is good business
management for every cooperative
creamery association to urge good
feeding this fall and winter.'

Mr.. Bowser made all haste for the
front door. He had got as far as the
gate when Mrs EoWseI called to him
to come back as she had found the
tack. He returned in hopes and
doubts, and she put the tack in his
hand and said:
"When you took it out Of the car
pet you placed it on the chair. l
thought you would be just absent
minded enough to sit down on it. and
so I removed it to the stand. 1t is
the same tack you pulled out of the
carpet You never had it in your
mouth at all. You needn't go over
to the drug store or telephone the
doctor. Mr.. Bowser, you are all right
There is nothing piercing your vltals.
Now, then, we were to have talk,
you said. Sit right here and begin"
Mr.. Bowser didn't sit down. On
the contrary, he remained standing
and he tried to say something about
divorce and about an ungrateful wife
and about how husbands were driven
to suicide, but though he motioned
and gestured, he could not bring out
word. After several trials he left
the house, holding the tack tightly
between his fingers. He almost rar
to the drug store, and holding Oh, the
tack. he said to the druggist:
look what I came near swallow

"Mr. Bowser." said, the druggist
after looking at the tack. 'why didn't
you swallow it while you were about
it? All this country needs to bring
hack prosperity and business is tt
have you removed from it. You coult
have swallowed that tack just as vel
as not, but you didn't do it. Why

And Mr.. Bowser left the drug, store
without anything. :

his knees to look at 1t, and rose up
to say:

Il hadn't noticed it," was her reply.

Anyone might have caught their foot

old horse blanket. How long has it

Mr.. Bowser rose up and looked for
the hammer and nails. He went up
stairs to the garnet first. Then he
came down and looked through the
bedrooms. Then he looked through
the sitting room, parlor and library.
Then he looked through the dining
room and kitchen. Down in the base

for. He brought rusty old nail and
hammer up and said:
"Now we had better fix this 90 it

Mrs. Bowser did not protest, and
Mr.. Bowser took about ten minutes
for his carpenter work. He made the
whole house shake with his blows on
the head of that nail. Before driving
it, however, he pulled out the carpet
tack which proved false to it's work,
and placed 1t on chair.

Beautiful Granada.

Truly did the Moors know how to
surround themselves with the pleasant
things Of life and even in their cities
there were to be found groves OF
beautiful trees and sparkling foIn-
tains. Those who have Travelled in
Spain will recall the old palace in
CorGova, built around court with a
huge white marble swimming pool in
the center shaded by trees some of
them bearing delicious fruit. The
Moorish territory of Granada is the
most enchanting in Spain. In the days
of the Moors the city of Granada was
surrounded by wall Of over thou
sand towers. Its browning glory is of
course the marvellous Alhambra,
fortress and palace. which in its day
could accommodate 10000 men. With
it's delicate and fairy-like architecture,
the Alhambra is still the delight of the
traveller and the inspiration Of the
poet.
