years to build up.
"See those hands?" he asked,
trusting out two great swollen fists.
"I have to quit, we have 60 head of
milk stock, it has been impossible to
get a competent crew of milkers at
any price. " The boy, my wife and
myself have been forced to milk that
herd all spring and summer, and hu
man endtirance has reached its limit
I quit."
This dairvman was sa'fied with
his profit, hia cows were netting him
about $1 a day a head; he was will
ing and able to pay a fancy wage to
a couple of good "string" milkers;
and, though his dairy was near a big
city, full of employment offices, still
he could not secure competent help at
any price.
This is the fifth big dairy herd in
the county to be sold in three months
it is the last big herd in the county.
These sales mean not only the dis
persal of experly-man-aged, big-producing
herds; they mean the end of
scientific breeding in the county, and
mean lover production and higher
costs for the next ten years.
Meanfme he city housewife Is
forming: leagues and boycotting the
dairymen in the vain hope that the
day of the five or ten cent quart of
milk will return.
From what we can discover the city
families will be lucky if, in a couple
of years, they can buy sweet clean
rich milk at any price.
What is there to be done about it?
Nothing so far as we can see.

DEAR OLD DAD SCRATCH

There was a movement a while
back to establish a day for dad. 4
Father was going to have one day
of respect and tribute along with
mother.
But. dad is such an easy-going un-
romantio person that even the holiday
maniacs couldn't get up much en
thusiasm. And when a holiday maniac gets
discouraged it umst be a dreary topic
indeed, for the maniac delights in
nothing so much as injecting a half
dozen more holidays into an already
overburdened calendar.
With the returning of the legions
to school we feel that dad should
get a few words of sympathy.
TVaoher and mother and pupil all
have their words, but dad gets noth-
; all he does is dig.
And how the poor man has to dig
this fall.
