The dairyman who depends upon
buying cows to replenish his herd
with generally finds hi* work dull
and unprofitable. To breed a calf
and develop it into a cow that will
produce more butter fat in a year
than did her mother adds life and in
terest to dairying, and that is what
makes success. ,
By the use of a good pure bred Sire
• on ordinary scrub cows 1 have pro
duced cows that with first calf made
more than one-half more batter fat
per year than their dams. But It
is risky business to take any sort of
cows as a foundation and expect to
raise a profitable herd. Too much
care cannot be taken in selecting
cow to raise calves from. It costs
more to properly raise a calf to cow-
hood than most dairymen think. By
carefuly selecting the foundation
stock one can be reasonably sure that
his heifers are going to develop into
profitable cows. The scales and tes
ter are indispensable in selecting
their foundation.
Several years ago we brought two
ordinary looking "two-gallon" cow,
cows into our herd. One was an
The other one was very fine looking,
large and with an "udder like a was-
lub.” I was very anxious aliwtit this
fine looking cow's heifer calf, and
gave It all possible attention. About
this time I bought a tester stnd put
In a system of record keeping. At
the end o’ one year I found that the
large, fine-looking cow had produced
only 150 pounds of butter fat. She
had milked only about six months of
the year and her monthly test had
been very low. The so-called “two-
gallon" cow’ had 300 pounds of butter
fat to her credit. 1 was not willing
to part with my favorite cow without
another year’s test. The end of the
second year found her on the way
to market. Her two heifer calves 1

pounds butter fat each.—Progressive

In the cities girls are beginning to
take the place of boj s in offices, and the
reason assigned for the change is one
that boys would do well to consider.
The old-fashioned office boy, who swears,
smokes cigarettes end is impertinent
usually, and reads dime novels in a
corner, or loafs when he is sent of an
important errand, is fast disappearing,
and it is predicted that in the course of
time the office girl will hold entirely
then his place. No one wants an imper
tinent, swaggering, cigarette smoking
boy about an office, or as a clerk, book
keeper or stenographer. Girls do pot
acquire these detestable habits, and are,
therefore, getting the places.

Marriage is not necessarily a bless-
g. It may be the bitterest curse. It
may sting likj an adder and bite like
a serjjfnt. Its bower i» a often made
of thorns as of roses. It blasts as many
sunny expectations as it realizes. Every
improper marriage is a living misery,
an undying death. An illy-mated hu
man pair is the most woeful picture of
human wretchedness that is presented
in the book of life; and yet such pictures
are plenty. But a proper marriage, a
true interior, soul-linked union is a liv
ing picture of blessedness, unrivaled in
beauty. A true marrage is the soul's
E Jen. It is the visiting place of angels.
It is not given to words to express the
refinement of pleasure, the delicacy of
joy and the abounding fullness of sat
isfaction that those feel whom God hath
joined in a high marriage of spirit.
Such a union is the highest school of
virtue, the soul’s convent, where the ves
tal (ires of purity are kept continually
burning. May only such happy unions
attend the young men and maidens of
our vicinity who may even now be plan
ing their wedding garments.

Every woman can and should keep
her ladyhood with her always—wher
ever she is, whatever she does, it mat
ters not. Some women seem to do the
most menial house service gracefully.
They most surely are ladies in every
sense of that blessed word. She who
dignifies herself, dignifies Iter work, and
vice versa. In the kitchen, as in the
parlor, htr manner and conversation
should be the same. A true lady is as
much a lady washing her dinner dishes,
preparing the vegetables for dinner,
cleaning lamps and scrubbing floors, as
when she is bending ovet her embroide
ry frame or (jjsel in the pleasant roonj.
If she is so unfortunate as to possess a
servant she will use refined language
and as gentle a vqice in speaking to her
as she uses in her reception room entor-
ti#ning tho west cultured among her
friends.
