D a ir y C o w ». Secretary Coburn of the Kansas state board of agriculture reports that the average yearly product of the Kansas dairy cow is $!).05. They have been mostly bred for beef or are the “ dual purpose” cows which Professor Shaw so much admires and what we should call “ scrubs” of no particular breed, giving a calf every year, a little milk and some cow beef when killed. Sev er;;! creameries reported that the av erage amount paid patrons for the milk in the your was about $20 per cow. At the Agricultural college they had an average receipt of $37.75 per cow for butler fat at creamery prices. These were scrub cows. One scrub Cow which they bought for $30 return ed $00.88 for butter fat in 1808, which was $40.37 above the cost of her food. They were well fed and well cared for, of course. Ono^rouble with scrub cows Is that they usually get the scrubbiest kind of food and care, which makes a mighty poor combination. “ A n d I r e a lly fe e l q u ite fa in t, F o r I'v e n e a rly lost m y paint W ith the ru b b in g and scru b b in g that I ’ v e had. j I b elie ve I ’ v e g o t the cram p, A n d m y sa w d u st’ s a w fu l dam p, !

MOTOR TIME TABLE. -f Concerning the use of farm separa tors in connection with creameries Dairy Commissioner McConnell of Minnesota says: “ The invuKloi. o f our state by the hand separator jls a problem that we must wrestle wfth. The advantages of the hand separator are many, yet we seriously doubt, when all things are considered, whether they are going to drive away all the ills that the flesh is heir to. We must concede that the product of a creamery that depends upon hand separators is not as good; consequently it brings a less price in the market. This works an injustice to the dairyman who hauls his milk regularly to the creamery. This, how ever, can be reduced to a minimum by delivering the cream as often ms the milk is required to be delivered. We can see no reason why cream should not be taken to the creamery as often and in us good comljtion as milk.” The point that Mr. McConnell makes relative to the delivery of the cream to the creamery every day is u very important one, says Hoard’s Dairy man. Farmers who buy farm sep arators will make no profit In the transaction if they hold their cream so long that Its flavor is injured and a loss endues in the price of the butter. A little girl from town was staying with some country cousins who live on a farm. On the night of her arrival she found to her mortification that she was ignorant of all sorts of tilings con nected with farm life which to her country cousins were matters of every day experience. She fancied they seem ed amused at her ignorance. At break fast the following morning she saw on the table a dish of honey and regarded this as an opportunity of retrieving her humiliating experiences of the night before and of showing her country cousins that she knew something of country life after all. So. looking at the dish of honey, she said carelessly, “ Ah, I see you keep a bee.” Before beginning the game of neigh Office, bors it is necessary to inquire who knows it. for it cannot be played un “ T h en to n ig h t th e y ’ ll h a v e a p a rty A n d ex p ect me to look h e a rty less there is at least one person to W h ile th e y stru m the old pian o, b lith e whom it is. new.
