" Good Morrow To You.
My Valentine!"

MANY curious old charms are said
AVA to be potent on ST. Valentines
eve-all, like most charms ever invent
ed, connected with the procuring of
husbands. Even before surplus woman
dawned on the scene, this seems to
have been subject of much anxiety.
Five bay leaves, pinned respectively
to the four corners and the center Of
the pillow, are said to bring certain
dreams Of the future partner, If the
sleeper has gone to bed without eating
or speaking.
Another infallible spell was to write
the names of admirers on separate
pieces of paper, enclose them in clay
balls and throw them into water. The
one which came to the surface first
contained the name of the fated
spouse.
1t is sign Of great good luck if the{
swain you favor should be the first
man seen on February IA The mod
ern girl who does not pin her faith
entirely to signs and omens, can al
ways practice the ruse of a shrewd
maiden of long ago, who, knowing
where her heart had gone, '1ay a-bed
and shut my eyes all the morning till
he came, for would not have seen
another man before him for all the
world"
She was far-seeing and lucky. But
If she had set eyes first on the wrong
man, she would have welded him, so
a poet tells u.s.
Last Valentine, the day when birds Of
kind
Their paramours with mutual chirpings
find,
Afield went, amid the morning dew,
To milk my kline (for so should house
wives do),
Thee first I spied, and the first swain
In spite Of fortune, shall our true love
be-"
Some of us wish that a quaint old
custom practiced in the time of Pepys
was still PREVALENT rule that a
man must give a present to the first
woman he saw on February IA. Pepys,
gay old rascal that he was, much be-
vailed himself that his own tribute
lad to be offered to his wife-a pro
,eeding he considered very dull, when
here were plenty of pretty young
girls at the. light-hearted court of
Charles II.
Old people still remember the time
When valentines were as popular as
cards, and the postman
roaned under his load on the morning
f the 18th. This is still the case in
he United States, but the Idea of
ourtship is no longer much connected
With these bright cards.
Nowadays Shakespeare's greeting: -
Good morrow, It's st. Valentines day.
All the morning betime,
md I a maid at your window,
To be your valentine"
imply reminds US of the passing of
old custom.
Christianity brought the custom of
lacing each feast day under the
atronage of saint, and so st. Val
ntine, who never married himself, be-.
anne the patron saint of lovers Thee
ady's Companion.

EFFICIENT COOLING
TANKS INEXPENSIVE

A cooling tank that will meet with
general favor among cream producers
must be simple in construction and yet
durable and inexpensive both as to
first cost and as to operation It is
generally agreed that the type of cool
ing tank which most nearly meets all
Of these requirements must use water
as the cooling agent. because on all
farms certain quantity of water must
be pumped every day, and because wa
ter is efficient as a conducting me-
dunn to facilitate absorption of heat
from the cream.
The greatest efficiency is obtained
by admitting the cooling water near
the bottom of the tank and removing
the warmest water by means of an
overflow pipe near the top and at the
end opposite the intake. The pipe
must be of such size that there will be
no danger of water rising above the
tops of the cans.
Such tanks are so designed that the
cooling water circulates around and
under the cans The water coming
through the intake is admitted near
the bottom of the tank In this way
the warmer water is being displaced
constantly. The cans are raised suffi-
GENTLY to permit complete circulation
of the water. Strips of wood or metal
in the bottom of the tank are provided
for this purpose. These also protect |

tom of the tank engages the lower rim
of the can, preventing it from swinging
outward when only partly filled.
In addition to the ten-gallon cans
for holding cream, space is provided
for two fiye-gallon cooling cans of the
shotgun type. These cans rest on a
projecting metal hook. The cans are
prevented from swinging outward,
when partly full, by band of h-inch
strap iron attached to the inside of
the tank to form loop around the
cans. A swinging arm of light steel
prevents the cans from floating up
when only partly filed. One of these
cans is for cooling cream. The sec
ono shotgun can is used as a house
hold refrigerator and is provided with
a removable tray filler having three
removable shelves.

0GRACIOUS goodness said Cupid
~ looking at the calendar, "here

away when it's my busiest time in the
whole year" James" he cried
bring me that culver of arrows and
the polish. I've got to get ready for

And while Cupid is busy getting
ready for his annual archery program,
there are plenty of others who are pre-.
pairing to receive him, terrifying them.
selves against his invasion or prepar
ing fitting welcome, as the case
may be.
Naturally nobody wants to take a
chance with this skillful archer without
plenty of others present to help defect
his flying arrows, so there will be
parties parties, and then more parties.
First, a Valentine party calls for
clever form of invitation A verse
original If possible-could set forth
the wish Of the hostess in an appropri-
ate Jingle, running something like this
I beg to indite that a gay little sprlte,
VIII stop at my home on st. Valen-
tines night:
Can you meet him at eight. on this
special date,
I'm expecting you over so please don't
be late.
Another invitation might read:
On Saint Valentines Day
WIN you come to my party7
I'll see that you have
A welcome right hearty.
The verse can be written on dainty
Valentine postcards, or correspondence
cards ornamented with Cuplds and ar
rows or with red heart seals.
Another verse may invite the guest
in this wise:
The sign-of-the-Heart is pleased to
Your presence at eight on Saint Valen-
tines Night;
Hearts that are brave and loving and
VIII be ready and waiting to welcome
you.
The password is Love. which alone has
the power
To gain you admittance to Cupid's
bower
Note paper decorated with Valentine
seals could be used for this form of in
Vitation. For a decoration to conform
to the first line of the verse, an i'm
nense red heart, hung against the
glass Of the front door would be ap-
Dropriate.
Old-fashioned valentines, with lace
PAPER and sentimental verses, make ap-
oropriate invitations. So do the old
,omics.
The valentine party rarely takes the
'orm of a masquerade, but the hostess
Usually plans caps and favors for the
'uests, to give a festive air to the
went.
Almost any crude cap OF crepe paper
an be made highly decorative by add
ng long tassels or fringe at either side
Heavy necklaces of cardboard with
rufle Of red crepe paper hung about
he neck on a ribbon are effective and
asily made.

listing of a ribbon to be worn about
he wrist, wfh long red and white
repe paper streamers.

Every Dairyman Should
Weigh Milk and Test It

Every owner of dairy cows should
know if his cows are giving enough
milk or butterfat to make profit over
the cost of feed. A scale to weigh the
milk in the barn can be bought for 81.
II takes only a few minutes day
extra time to weigh the milk from
each COW and write the weight on a
milk sheet tackled up in the barn.
Once a month a sample of milk can
be tested. ANY creamery, ice cream
factory, or cream station will usually
be glad to do this testing.

Calves Under Year Old
Nav Be Fed Whole Oats

Calves under a year old may be
fed whole oats for grain, but for con
venience they may be fed whatever
kind of grain is used for the cows.
Grain should be fed to calves as soon
as they are changed to skim milk.
When they are a month old they
should be eating half pound of grain
a day and this may be increased to
two pounds day, which should be
enough with good hay and skim milk.

In the Tropics

- VIZ AANPASS
with apologies to Phelps
I'd like to flee
From the slimy-green sea
Where the lizards we see
And the scorpions be
On an island with ferns
So hot it burns.
I'd like to fly
From where snakes crawl by
Where the red sun so high
Makes your fat fry.
Where the weather's so hot
You just toss on your cot.
I'd like to run
From the insects hum
Where the mosquitoes come
To laugh at the fun
When folks stroll at noon
By the stagnant lagoon.
oh! Deliver me

I'd like to be
Where the surf-boards float gaily
Across the jade-green sea
To meet the shining sand,
That forms the Islands silver diadem
That surpasses all the gems.
I'd like to be
Where the silver radiance of the
Softens the shadows of the deep la

Where the diamond stars
In tropic beauty are
Surprising any gem.
I'd like to be
Where the tinkling of guitars
In the mellow radiance of the stars,
Beneath the signing palms
AS voices in a psalm
Surprising any orchestra.
Where everything is wild and free
Out there beside the rolling sea,
There let my resting place be
Mid the sand dunes near the sea
That surpasses all in beauty.

The Sage Brush
More apologies)
Out in the desert
Where the sage brush grows high,
You'll find right there
A wood tick doth lie.
The sage brush is gray
Sometimes it is blue
And most of the day
The wood tick is too.
This beautiful sage brush
With a wood tick in it
I'll tell you about it
In just a minute.
Now these little wood ticks
Are tiny I've said
And the wonderful sage brush
Spreads lofty Ger head.
This wide spreading sage brush
When it'll storm any minute
Protects from all harm
The wood tick that's in it.
