A MAN can always tell that a
IA girl loves him the minute
~ she tries to make him quit
smoking.
She's either crazy about him or
wants the cigarettes for herself.
She claims that tobacco is bad
for the heart, but she doesn't stop
to figure that, marriage isn't any
too good for it, either.
Some girls object to a man smOk-
Ing because they drop their cigar
cite ashes on the floor. 1t isn't
the fellows fault that ashes won't
stick to the ceiling.
If girl thinks that tailor
made cigarette is untidy, she ought
to try keeping company with a guy
who rolls his own.
One dame made her sweetheart
give up a certain brand of cigar
cites and start buying the kind
that she smoked.
But this fellow was wise. He
switched to a pipe.
He knew he could leave it there
one evening and find it, O. *. when
he came back the next night.
If a fellow hasn't much money,
it's cheaper for him to smoke a
pipe. He can then smoke all he
wants without having to offer any
to his sweetheart's father.
or course he could offer the old
man a cigar, but he'd be liable to
give him the one he brought for
himself.
Some men don't like pipes, and
IL your girls father objects to one,
then you're lucky. Whenever he
starts hanging around, just COM
mence putting on your pipe. and
you'll eventually drive him out of
the parlor.
You'll probably drive your sweet
heart out, too, but that's better
than having both of them there.
Some people claim that tobacco
is not a weed, but you never run
across. pipe which smells like a
beautiful flower.
You can't stuff a pipe full of
aged tobacco and expect it to have
an aroma similar to a bunch of
roses.
Smoking is expensive, and lot
OF girls want their fiances to buy
10-cent packages of cigarettes so
that when they get married she'll
have money enough to buy 25-cent
ones.
Some men object to women sInOk-
ing cigarettes. but this is foolish.
There's hardly anything else you
can do with a cigarette.
The average girl doesn't care If
she gets nicotine on her fingers as
long as there aren't any dish water
rings onathem. &-s%
So, fellows, when you go to the
church to get married, make your
future wife swear to "LOVe, honor
and buy her own cigarettes"

Keep Separate Record of
Production of Each Cow

With the increasing cost of farm Op-
erations and keener competition in
selling, success in farming is coming
to mean the application of business
principles, says the dairy husbandry
department Of the Nebraska College
of Agriculture. In the past, general
success has been attained without the
use of business methods, but the flu
ture will require careful attention to
such details as keeping records Of the
production of individual cows.
The use of the Babcock test and
scales enables the farmer to keep an
accurate account of what each COW in
his herd is producing, thus making 1t
possible for him to weed out his poor
COWS iRtelligently and build up
strong, producing herd. This method
is simple, easy to understand, and re-
quires but little labor. Information as
to methods used in the test may be
obtained from the dairy department Of
your college OF agriculture.

COMING INTO IT'S OWN

J. M. Curtin, manager of the indus
trial department Of the Westinghouse
Company, is authority for the follow
ing statements:
where water. steam, and gas pow
er once held full sway in the indusu-
tries of the United States, there is
now being furnished by the electric
motor approximately SIS per cent of
the power used. This is indeed a
great growth when 1t is taken into
consideration that it has almost all
been accomplished since the beginning
Of the present century, and at the
present rate of increase within the
next fifty years approximately rs per
cent Of the power used by the indus
tries Of this country will be furnished
by the electric motor"

a WEEKS demanded OF every able
bodied person in the United States to
maintain government. That is the
lesson of the recent analysis showing
that one-sixth of our national income
goes for taxes-federal, state and
local"
Our cynical friend, Don Marquis, in
the New York Tribune, says:
"Lawmaking bodies in America
exist for the purpose of devising new
methods of taxation to raise money
to be squandered by lawmaking bod
ies."
All of which may be true, but loud
lamentations will not cure the i'll.
When we teach our public officials
to run the public business more eco
nomically and less politically, along
the same lines Of efficiency as private
business is run, we may have relief,
but not before.

Basis of Dairy Profits
in Food. Feed and Care

zone cow, well fed and cared for
will make more milk and profit than
two or more cows poorly fed and
cared for" is the keynote expressed
I in Wisconsin Circular 151 by George
G. Humphrey Of the animal husbandry
department Of the Wisconsin College
Of Agriculture.
"Don't be satisfied to buy or raise
anything but good dairy cows.
Don't try to keep more cows than
it is possible to feed and care for WELL
Threat the cows kindly Rough
treatment greatly reduces the amount
of milk she produces.
Feed liberal rations. Make this
possible by laying in store of good
grains such as corn, barley and oats
and some alfalfa or clover hay These
feeds make a good combination when
fed with roots or silage
provide plenty of fresh water
which is cool but not too cold 1t takes
a lot of water to make milk so it must
be provided.
'PrOtect the cows from cold, chill
ing weather and storms and dampness.
1t helps to increase milk production.
"Give the mother of the newborn
calf pail of warm water-she Is
feverish and this will relieve her
thirst.
"Her first feed should be five or six
quarts of ground oats and wheat
bran"
These are but few of the many
timely suggestions offered by Mr..
Humphrey in the bulletin, which with
the valuable rations suggested make
this most desirable little pamphlet
for the dairyman.

TEACHERS FACE PROBLEMS

When the Idaho State Teachers
association meets in annual session
in Pocatello during the Thanksgiv-
ling vacation, they will have some Of
the knottiest problems in the history
of the schools Of the state to discuss.
What will the policy Of the teachers
be regarding getting some law passed
to make up for the loss Of the an
nual Institutes? How can subscrip-
lions be secured for the Idaho Teach
er without institute meetings? Are
the schools going to be able to pro-
gress without a Commissioner of Edu-
cation?
One issue of the Idaho State Teach
ers' magazine is being published at
the present time on funds held over
from last year. THIS magazine Is
edited at the Idaho Technical Insti-
tute. Superintendent R. A. Snyder of
Idaho Falls, president of the state
teachers association, with the coop
Grafton of the business manager, the
state superintendent and others are
making every effort to get the teach
ers' magazine financed and to make a
big success of the state educational
convention.

INA 1IIDY\T
I'LL THE ny
lUSAIURll
Variation in Butterfat
Tests Nothing Unusual

The pure-bred dairyman as well as
the commercial dairyman Is interested
In the tests for butterfat upon their
cattle. Quite frequently these tests
are made either upon the entire herd
or upon individuals Of the herds. When
these tests are compared with tests
made previously, a wide variation or
huctuation Is noted. There are times
when these tests are made within a
few days of each other and the varia-
ton is surprising. Such fluctuations
are often looked upon with suspicion,
while 1t should be realized that 1t is
quite natural for COWS to vary In their
tests for butterfat. In fact when this
point is Investigated 1t is found that
cows vary more in their tests than Is
commonly thought.
Some years ago the Michigan Agri-
cultural college published a special
bulletin containing the work Of Ander-
son upon the variations In the percent
age of butterfat of single milkings of
cows upon test. The seven-day tests
Of 200 cows handled under ordinary
herd conditions were studied as well
as similar records upon 1900 cows en-
tered In the advanced registry Of their
respective breeds. Any conclusions
reached by these Investigations can be
looked upon as being indicative Of the
real condition, as the number Of milk
ings studied is large enough to war
rant this.
1t may be expected that 30 per cent
OF the cows In herd will vary in the
percentage of butterfat in the milk
produced at individual milkings in a
seven-day period 1 per cent or less
Fifty per cent Of the cows during a
like period will vary In their tests
from IL to per cent, IA per cent will
vary from 81 per cent to per cent,
while the remaining 8 per cent will
show variation between miikings Of
more than per cent. From these facts
we may conclude that 1t is not surpris-
Ing to have COW test per cent at
one milking and test 6 per cent at the
next milking. 1 have actually seen a
COW test LIZ per cent In the morning
and test over 6 per cent In the after
noon. In herd Of 100 COWS the aver
age variation of the entire herd test
would be 1.49 per cent based upon
these figures.-B. w. Fairbanks, Colo

THE OLD WAYS AND THE NEW

Settlers in the middle west and
west seventy-fve years ago sent UP
columns of smoke to signal long dis
lance messages. By covering the
smouldering fire with blankets and
releasing the smoke In puffy clouds
they were able to convey messages in
smoke code to their neighbors mile
or two away. The foot runner and
the horse played their parts, also, in
delivering messages. All Of them,
and each in turn, we're improvements
over the older means. But consider
trying the use of them in the present
day, with the long distances and
wider fields of every day life. With
the aid Of electricity, a message Is
flashed across the country in a Sec
ond's time; one can talk over the
wires from his home to thousands OF
miles away; and the airship can make
a transcontinental fight faster than
the eye can follow. And the uses Of
electricity are only in their begin
nings.

Infamed Udder of Cow
Nav Be Avoided by Feed

1t is seldom, If ever, necessary to
milk a COW before freshening. If the
bag is badly swollen and milk drips
from the teats, it is sometimes a good
idea to relieve the bag by drawing
little milk but the mere presence of
Inflammation and "cake" in the udder
does not necessarily mean that the
milking should be done. 1t is much
better to leave the COW alone in this
regard as the last few days before
freshening the COW secretes a peculiar
quality of milk called colostrum in her
udder, which is very essential to the
newborn calf as 1t acts as purga-
tive and helps to clear out his system.
Excessive difficulty from Inflammation
and caked udders may be avoided by
giving laxative feeds.

Balanced Mixtures for
Cows Mean More Milk

In spite Of much experiment to de-
termine the best ration for milk cows,
there are still farmers who feed I'M
| balanced mixtures that do little more
than keep up the animals normal
weight, leaving only a small amount
| to produce milk.
Prof. w. J. Frazer Of the dairy de-
partment Of the University of Illinois
says a great loss Of milk production
among COWS Is due to insufficient feed
ing, and a still greater loss to an un-
balanced ration. He has been making
an intensive study Of the way Illinois
dairymen feed cattle and urges them
to feed a better mixture, which will
return more than enough extra money
in the cream or milk check to pay for
the additional trouble and expense.
He says alfalfa and clover are the
crops needed to balance corn in the
necessary supply Of protein and min
erals, and that the dairyman's lowest
factor today lies in his failure to grow
enough legumes for this purpose
The average farmer in Illinois can
grow both of these crops, but only a
small percentage is doing it, accord
ing to Professor Frazers figures.
Only one-third of l per cent of the
tillable land in Illinois is alfalfa and
only 40 per cent is in clover. Here
in the intensively farmed section of
Illinois, in the five dairy counties of
the northern end of the state, there is
only 1.6 per cent of alfalfa and At
per cent of clover.

WHO PAYS?

The Bureau of Statistics and In
vestigation of the Department of FL
nance of New York City, after a long
investigation of the operations Of the
trackless trolley on Staten Island,
which is owned and operated by the
city, finds the cost Of carrying each
passenger is 1927 cents. The fare
charged is only cents. Who pays
the difference? John Good Citizen,
who owns his own little home or his
stock of merchandise, in his careless,
unthinking way, might answer that
you can search him-and be nearer
right than he imagines. Somebody
has to be searched" to make up the
loss, because 1t can't redeem itself
Who makes 1t good?

Milk Is Excellent Food
for Developing Calves

Milk Is most excellent food for
young calves as everyone knows, but
1t is also very important to furnish the
young calf with hay as soon as 1t is
two or three weeks old. Legume hays
are the best for the youngsters be-
cause they are rich in protein and min
eral matter. Roughage helps distend
the stomach of the calf and thus aids
In developing the digestive system.
For the sake of economy the whole
milk ration should be changed to skim
milk at the end Of the first two weeks
or such matter. The change should
be made gradually, at the rate of
about one pint per day, otherwise d.
gestive disorders are apt to creep in.
1t is good plan also to feed little
grain when the change Is made from
whole to skim milk.
