GOLD AND GILT.
Two Cow That Differed Greatly n
the Making of Milk.
There Is uo othor or easier w ay to
llnd out the accurate production of
each cow than to welch and tost the
milk of each separately. At the -Illinois
agricultural experiment station
are two cows, Gold and Gilt, the story
of whose work la well worth telling.
All the milk of these cows has been
weighed and tested for three years. A
record has been kept of every pound
of feed consumed by each animal, both
summer and winter.
Each year Gold produced on the
average 11,390 pounds of milk con
taining 405 pounds of butter fat, but
during the same time Gilt averaged
only 3.S30 pounds of milk with 13S
pounds of butter fat
These cows are both cared for h the
name way. They were given the same
kinds of feed aiid allowed to eat nil
they wanted. Gold ate one-half more
than GUt, but produced nearly three
times as much milk.
Equal amounts of feed made In the
one case 1SS pounds of butter fat and
In the other 100 pounds. The one cow
produced nearly twice as much as the
other from exactly the same feed In
kind and amount.
Counting the butter fat at 23 cents
per pound aud taking out the exact
cost of feed In each case, the one cow
brought In a profit of $34.50. white the
other lacked $5.02 of paying for her
board at market prices of feed each
year.
Pointer From a Dairy Export.
In a dairy cow the skiu if coarse or
harsh means sluggLsh digestion Inside,
and that means an expensive cow that
does not digest her food well nor
thrive well.
Six per cent of the butter fat is lost
when It conies to the churning If the
cream Is permitted to become too sour.
The fat Is not destroyed In some mys
terious way, but It simply falls to come
out of the buttermilk.
Any considerable amount of muscu
lar exercise by a cow giving uti'k must
tend vto diminish the quantity and
quality of the milk produced or at
least diminish the total amount of
these constituents of the product.
In the dairy especially it Is essential
to have the best stock that can be
produced and that are adapted to the
purpose for which they are "kept. The
high grade butter cow will not only
give more and letter butter thau the
cow of BO breed, but she w ill do it at a
less cost
1 TVuen churning proceeds too rapidly
as a result of too hijh temperature
only part of the fat Is sjlldiiiod and
the balance or part of It is incorporat
ed with It In nn oily state; hence the
reason why such butter is always soft
and greasy. Farm Moneymaker.
SILOS AKD SILAGE
A well known dairyman fays of the
silo: To my ruia.l the ouly question
for the small farr.'.er to decide Is
whether he has enough land to pro
duce enough corn and hay, pasturage
or soiling crops to feed enough animals
to make a silo possible. Of the eco
nomic Importance of the silo as a con
tainer and conserver of feed In the
best condition for cows esieelally I
am as certain as a farmer can be of
anything.
Stono and Cement Silos.,
If the different kinds of silos are
properly built, there will be no differ
ence between them, so far as the qual
ity of the ensilage Is concerned, says
Hoard's Dairyman. They will all keep
silage equally welL The difference be
tween a stone and concrete silo la en
tirely one of cost and convenience of
building. A stone silo needu a mason
to lay the stone properly, while a ce
ment silo can be built by unskilled
labor. The only advantage a cement
silo has over a wooden one Is In Its
lasting qualities. Properly built, a
stone or cement silo will last Indefinite
ly, while a wooden silo is good for fif
teen to tweuty years, depending on the
kind and quality of the wood used.
Makes Dairying Profitable.
Professor B. II. Hawl says of the
silo: In the majority of cases you can
not run a dairy profitably without a
silo. I unhesitatingly recommend it to
every dairyman as one of the cheapest
means of producing the best results.
Silage takes the place of green stuff In
winter aud keeps the cattle In good,
healthy condition.
A Valuable Food.
Silage Is very low In protein and
yet Is a very valuable food. In fact
silage has not as much protein ton for
ton as oat straw. It is valuable be
cause of its succulence and as au aid
to digestion. Everything that the cow
eats the silage helps to digest. Mr.
Glllett understood this or he would not
have fed Colantha 4th Johanna thirty
pounds per day of it during the sixty
three days' test, but he realized that
he could not feed a cow as much grain
as he was feeding without having some
succulent food with it, to keep the di
gestive organs In a healthy condition.
The Stave Silo.
The stave 6llo, If well made and
rightly put up, is usually satisfactory.
I believe it is wisest for those who
want stave silos to purchase them
from some reliable firm. The wood
should be right and the staves well
fitted up and tongued and grooved
and then put together Just right I
have visited many feeders who are
using and have used for a considerable
time different makes of stave silos, and
almost Invariably they speak well of
them, and I cannot recall a single In
stance where the silage was not good.
Ilome made stave silos have given
much trouble and wasted cargoes of
silage. L. V. Eighty In National

Knowing
Miss Knowlton
By MARSHALL LEONARD.
Copyright 10T, by Wllllum Dairy.
It seemed to Trovers that life really
began for hhn when he came to lister
to superintend the building of the elec
tric works, for until then life had been
uneventful, and he had not known of
Ada Knowlton.
Even now he merely knew of her,
for Travers was not a ladles' man. Ho
was too terribly in earnest to shine In
society, and, though h had bovu In
Lester for nearly two months, he seem
ed as far from his goal as ever. Every
Sunday he went to church aud sat
where he could watch the choir where
Ada sang, the stained glass formlug a
background for the shapely golden
head. The Iter. Joslah ltuniford watch
ed approvingly the expression of rapt
Interest that was upon Travers" face
all through the sennou. He could not
notice that the keen blue eyes of the
young contractor were upon the choir .
rather than upon the pulpit, and he
felt gratified that he should hold his
auditor so well. j
So it haptened that the Rev, Joslah
stopped at the new factory one morn-.
lug and extended au Invitation to
Travers to Join a church picnic the
following week, I
"It is almost a family affair," he ex-J
plained as Jimmie s hand went dowu ;
into his trousers pocket. "I am uot .
selling tickets. It is purely by luvlta-.
tlon and ouly for the uiemlers of the
Sunday school, but I thought that per-
haps you might like to meet some of j
the young ieople and get acquainted.'' '
Jimmy beamed upon the kindly old
man as he thought of Ada Knowlton
and accepted the Invitation with an ef-1
fusiveness that caused the minister to
wonder at certain comments he had !
heard regarding the unsociability of
the newconier. j
"He Is most cordial." he told his
wife. "1 urn sure that he needs only
to get scqualuted to lie a decided addi
tion to our little society. I am sorry
that I did not look him up earlier."
Travers echoed the same sentimeut
as he went about his work. Surely at
"WMf'T MOVE," SAID A OE-VTUt VOICE.
the picnic he should meet Miss Know!
ton, and meeting Miss Knowlton bad ;
almost become an obsession with him. (
He climbed over the stagings and plat- j
forms with a light heart as he hnaglu- i
ed the manner lu which they should,
meet. I'le rather fancied an introduc
tion under the trees. He would ad
vance with bared head and bow low
over her hand. Then she would give
him one of those sunny smiles that nl-
most seemed to be her habitual expres
sion, and they would go walking to
gether lu the leafy shade. Over and
over he mentally rehearsed this scene
until It became almost real to him.x
But at the last moment there came
a complication at the factory, and It,
was after 11 when Travers finally got
away. He lost his way trying to
drive out In a livery buggy, and when
at last he came to the lake lunch was
over and the merrymakers had scat
tered through the woods.
The minister and his wife insisted
that he have something to eat, und
then motherly Mrs. Itumfor'd took him
In charge and Introduced hltn to every
one In sight, but Ada Knowlton was
nowhere to be seen.
lie made himself agreeable to the
others, but his eyes continually sought
a sight of the pink dress and golden
head that hud been the nttractlon. He
had seen them drive past on their way
to the lake, and he bad carefully noted
the dress, but not a glimpse of It did
he get until well along In the after
noon. Here and there the surface of the
lake was dotted with small boats and
canoes, and in one of the latter he
(aw the flash of pink that seemed to
communicate Its color to his face. Miss
i Knowlton. and nlone! And she was
paddling In to the landing;
With assumed carelessness, he di
rected his steps toward the tiny wharf
to which . the boats were tied. He
would be ou hand to assist her from
the canoe, and perhaps after he had
Introduced himself there might be a
chance for the walk after all.
Ho had Just reached the dock nnd
the frail fraft was but tweity yards
awny when some one called to the
navigator, and she turned to respond
with a wave of her paddle. As she did
so the canoe. tipped over and she was
spilled Into the water.
White with horror, Travers stripped
off his coat and his low shoes aud
dived to her assistance. He was a
splendid swimmer, and his heart beat
high as he thought of the opportunity
that had leen offered him.
Then something loomed dark above
his head. There was a shock, and all
became black. It was half an hour
later that Travers opened his eyes
again and looked up Into Ada Knowl
tou's face bending anxiously over him.
Ills head throbbed with pain, and he
was conscious that it was done up lu
bandages.
"IHm't move," said a gentle voice.
"You will lie all right In a few mo
menta. You were struck ou the bead
by the canoe."
"You were the rescued Instead of the
rescuer," laughed lr. Pyfroin. "Miss
Knowlton brought you to shore."
"I am so sorry," she said, bending
over, "I was pushing the Iniat In front
of me and did not notice that any one
had dived after me. 1 should have hecu
more careful, but 1 never supposed
that any one would lmugtuo that I
was lu danger."
"You see," explained the din-tor, "the
lake Is only three or four feet deep,
and when we spill out we Just walk
ashore."
"And I, like au ass, didn't know
that." murmured Travers. "I only saw
that Miss Knowlton had gone over
board, and I did tint know but what
she might be lu trouble. She seemed
to be struggling."
"That was my skirt," explained the
girl. "It caught In the gunwale, and I
had to detach It ln-fore I could find my
footing."
"1 guess that's about explanation
enough," put lu the physician. "I don't
want to have you come down with a
cold on top of a cut sculp. I guess
you'd better drive into town. Mis
Knowlton needs to go too. She Is soak
ed. Io you think jou can handle your
horer
"I'm all right now," declared Trav
ers, rising to hi feet with the din-tor's
aid. The crowd melted away, and Ir.
Pyfroin and the minister led him to his
bug.y. Miss Knowlton climbed In aft
er liiiu, and they started off.
"I suppose," said Travers as they
cleared the grove, "you must think
that-1 am lucking lu courtesy lu not
thanking you for saving my life, but I
am so upset."
"You ought to scold me for injuring
you," she declared. "It was very awk
ward of me."
"You couldn't know that I was going
to swim out to you." he reminded. "I
think I should apologize for being lu
the lake at ail."
The girl's laugh raug out at the sug
gestion. "I'm rather glad that yon
were there," she said, "though I am
sorry that you were Injured. I never
was rescued liefore."
"Nor performed a rescue," he re
minded. "I don't suppose that yon can
claim a gold tuedal for life saving."
"I don't want a reward," she insist
ed. "You should be entitled to the re
ward. If any one was, becauso you did
not realize that a rescue was not dangerous."
"I am suiUelontly rewarded in that 1 I
know you," he declared. "I have lcn
wanting to meet you for some time."
Miss Knowlton blushed and changed
the subject She could not admit that
she, too, had felt nn luterest hut In
her heart she was glad that they knew
each other, and when Travers took ad- j
vantazo of his unconventional Intro. I

"Its such a short courtship," she

NEW BLOUSE EFFECTS.
Simple Designs In Rich Fabrice Shirr
i ing Much Hied.
Certainly there Is no theme more fas
Clnatlng than that of fashionable
blouses, and imagination runs riot with
the things that one might say In their
praise. Many of the simplest effect
are glorified visions of lace, with per
haps Just a touch of embroidery or an
annlluue of some smart braid. There
re also a number of exceedingly smart
blouses fashioned of coarse nets, which,
by the way, are going to 1 dangerous
rivals of the finer effects. These coarse
nets arc by no means Inexpensive, and
their patterns show geometrical fig
ores, sometimes outlined with silk
threads and again printed In the most
delicate colors, wh.li In combination

for squaro and oblong yokes, which

GROWING ALFALFA.
Reducing Weeds to the Minimum Is an
Important Point. '
B. C. Dameron of I'lko county, Mo.,
Is credited by au exchange with the
following suggestions on growing al
i falfa.
I ; "After several ye""' 'experiment-
tlon, with loth success and failure, 1
unhesitatingly advise fall seeding.
While I know of no plant that excels
alfalfa In vigor of growth after It Is
once established, it Is extremely timid
I i about Its association with other plants
In Its early life. Weeds and foxtail
are Its worst foes, und how to avoid
them or to reduce them to the mini
mum Is the problem before the alfalfa
grower. It. is with this In view that I
advise the fall seeding. To my mind
the piece selected for seeding down
. hcxt fall should be upland naturally
well drained and fertile.

J "If the piece selected U land In
wheat I should top dress It during
winter with nil the stable manure I
fould possibly get on It not In great
lunks, but well distributed. After the
Wheat comes off In Juno I should disk
It twice, once each way. After the
