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 gave careful attention, thinking they might Inherit the large milking quali ties of their dam and the persistent, high-testing qualities of their srie's side, but they, too,, went to the butch er. The cows out of the other cow last years produced more than 400 pounds butter fat each.—Progressive Pleasant Evening Reveries—A Column Dedioated to B i||^^Tired Mothers as They Join the Home Circle at Evening j^j __ PORATABkC AND STATIONARY Engines and boilers Injector , Hplltter Saw.

Put on that neatly patched dress, meet John with a smile, kiss him when he comes home and watch how soon he will prefer him to the down town store. ooo Should a man speak to a neighbor in the stentorian tones he often uses lo his children, a knock-down would ensue. A courteous tone to a child is as essent ial as a courteous tone to a neighbor, ooo Where is home? In a mansion with spaoious courts, lofty halls, and treas ures of art, in yonder house, in country lane shaded by the tree? In unpretenti ous peasant hamlet with thatched roof and lime-washed walls? Home is where mother lives. And whether you be prince or peasant, one of the sweetest spots on earth is the abode of your mother. ooo Open your blinds by day and and light bright fires by night.

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. ooo 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. ooo 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. $Weetest ip Praised by Press and Pulpit No Piano has ever been more enthusiastically endorsed.
