Tompkins.
Tom and Jerry, a her rival lovers

to her, but rrnson as alt would, alio
found herself unublo to make choice.
Stranger villi, tbo rlvuli remained
tht beat of friends.
I wai loft to MUa I.llllnn herself to
suggest a way out of the three-cornered
dilemma. It proved a most per
pleilug problem for her to solve, but
all govt each an equal chance.
"On the flrat day of Juno I abnll be

a wltnee won't do ynu any good. I
can't leaue a llcenae."
"Why notr queatloned Tom In aa-

"It make thl dl (Terence. The law

"True," exclaimed Tom, "but the

"Here," eagerly sclxlng th arm of

Nevertheleaa, Tom 'laughed In hi

There had coma to the city a abort

Thl waa the hnppy queatlon that
had luggeated lt"i'lf to Jerry during
hi anxious planning how ha might
outwit hi rival.
"For five hundred dollar cash," laid
th professor, without a moment' heal
. tatlon, "I will land yon at Idyl Wyld,
allvt or dead, between anuria and
unset on tha flrat dny of June."
Equally quick coma Jerry' response,
"Tha figure you tiume prove that you
art a high flyer, but tha prize I am
aftr la worth It."
An agreement wa accordingly drawn
up, duly elgned by both parties, and
after Jerry 'hud cautioned tha aviator
that "mum" was the word, ho pro
ceeded to purchn.se a wedding ring,
and calmly awult the day.
Minds of lovers, like those of grout
t men, frequently run In th snuie
groove.
On tha afternoon of tha very day
' that Jerry had arranged for hla Jour-
ney by nlr line, the aviator was visited
by Tom.
"How much to land mo nt Myl Wyld

strictly secret!"
"Five hundred dollars cash, and I'll

With tha agreement duly signed In

tha number of people, but not at the
same rate. In only two year out of
tb list six has the dulry-cow popula
tion Incressed In proportion to the In
crease In human population.
The United Slates Department of
Agriculture hm Just completed a study
of tha utilization of milk. In which It
la shown that slightly more than 1,000
pounds of milk per capita Is used an
nually In one form or another. In
other words, a grand total of 114,601,
201,000 pounds of whole milk la uti
lized In this country by manufacturing
It Into various products, by feeding It
to calves, or fur household purposes.
This amount wss produced by 2Q,2.'2,
000 cows, sn average production of 4,.
80S pounds of milk per cow.
During the last few years the In
crease In population has been around
1,000,000 people annually. This would
mean thut with cowa no better than
those wa bar at present the milk-cow
population should Increase st th rat
of 875,000 a year to supply tha neces
sary 1,000 pound for each peron or
on cow for every four people. It Is
also Interesting to note that the per

Bines our average production I

ERADICATE MITES
TO SAVE POULTRY
There are few poultry producer
wbo do not know of the ravugen

A treatment of the room, ne-u. I,iv.

sufficient to reduce the action "of the

mora harmful to poultry than lice anil
In treatment It Is necesaary to treat

The conatructlon of room anil nest

control nieaaure.
If new blrda are brought to the
farm, or bird to new quarters, they
should be Isolated for a few days In
a pen separata from the periuuiient
quarters so that all of the mite will
leave them, thus preventing tlie Infee
tatlon of. new quarters. If birds are
moved In the daytime mite will not
be carried on them.

A Leghorn cockerel may become

Tainting the roost and nests with a
good preservative or creosote la tusur-

It I a good rule never to let a alck
