No one who aim* to make the dairy profitable can afford to overlook the cost of production. If the cost can be lessened in a,.v wav without lowering the qualitv it is so much added to the profits. One of the best ami surest wavs of lessening the cost is in feeding and cheapening the productions of food bv adapting it more closely to the needs of the tows ami to have it of such a quality as will enable them to produce the fullest amount of milk ol which they are capable. A British journal announces the death of one of the most remarkable cows that ever figured in public milking tests. This was a Shorthorn-Guernsey cross bar animal. She was in her 9th year at the lime of her death. Some idea of her great ability as a milker may lie gathered from the fact that during the ten and a half months prior to her death she had produced at the rate of over 1 500 gallons of milk per annum.

I H-»a • Family Pin* ere th Quaint and Queer Features of Life 1902 I Probably the most expensively 1 taper ed room in the world is the library of Colonel William Howland Amory of 127 East Sixty second street, New York City. It is covered with cei tilieates of stock of a company in which he became interest ed ten years ago and which went under in a panic in Wall street before it had been fairly luunched. •The aide walls represent $440,000,” said Colonel Amory the other day, ‘’and the frieze, which is made of the coupons drawing 6 per cent interest, represents $72.000 ‘ It seems an o<ld thing to do to have staring you in the face the remains of a lost fortune—but it was the only way in which I could use the bonds und the idea struck me as being unique when it first came to me.” A story of c ruel treatment of children comes from Willow River, Minn. The story is vouched for by a prominent Duluth woman. A few miles from Willow River resides a well to-do farmer. A. Graniski. His love of money has driven from his mind all other ambition. It is reported that he did not provide sufficient food for himself and family. Ills ruling passion caused Graniski to turn against his children, a boy of 13 years ami a girl of 11. He did not send them to school and worked them hard. The children, driven to desperation, secretly milked the cows. This continu ed for some tune, but they were finally caught at it. Their father forced wire muzzles on their faces. The children recently lied to Willow River and were cared for by sympathetic citizens. A strange romance in the lives of James H. Nichols and his wife, Amanda, of' Mount Gilead, 0.. lias just been made known. Thirty-five years ago the two were married. After living together | three years his wife left Nichols because [ of his alleged mistreatment of her. Be ing discouraged, and feeling that recon 1 cihation with her was impossible, Nichols ' went west and located in the mining re- j gions of California, to begin life anew. , Several years later his wife saw his name in a list of killed in a mining accident in California. Believing Nichols dead, and having met another man with whom she fell in love, she was again married. Her sec ond husband was Richard Vancouver, a I wealthy manufacturer. A daughter was I born to them. Twentv-tive years passed ' awav and this daughter had grown to I womanhood. Mr. Vancouver had a ’ brother living in Los Angeles, Cal., and 1 having some important business to at- ' tend to there he went to Los Angeles, his daughter accompanying him. After looking after his business interests Van couver, leaving his daughter, Sarah, to visit with her tmcle during the winter. Just before Christmas Sarah became ' acquainted with James II. Nichols, her mother’s former husband, who had be come a wealthy mine owner. The two fell in love an 1 were married, neither knowing of the peculiar circumstances attached to the wedding until a few years later. When Mrs. Nichols' parents went to visit at their daughter’s home the girl’s mother and her husband rec ognized each other. I)r. Harry McClure, a Pittsburg den tist, and Miss Celeste Kimsey, the 16 year-old daughter of a wealthy Philadel phia man, were married at Cincinnati last week. According to the Goddess of Chance, Mrs. McClure should be Mrs William Kulp, but the Goddess of Love beat the patron saint of fortune a»’d the dentist won. The two men are friends. They were in love with the girl, The girl was in love with both. “I'll tell von wh it I’ll do,” said the dentist to his rival whil? they were ------ lounging in the rotunda of the Arlington hotel in Hot Springs, Ark. ‘‘I'll match a nickel with yon to see who quits the game and leaves a clear field for the other fellow.” ” You're on,” said Kulp. “ Heads or tails ?” “Heads” !kiid the dentist. ” You lose,” said Kulp. When the result was communicated to Miss Celeste she didn't seem to think much of the decision by the Goddess of Chance. ” I doubt whether that is a fair test or no1.,” said she. ” I shall consult mamma and see.” .Mamma promptly replied that Celeste could do as she chose. Celeste blushinglv confessed that she loved both and concluded to wait to de termine which she loved the better. Soon the sojourn of the partv at Hot Springs came to an end and Celeste could not decide which one to tell good-bye. So the two suiters went to the depot with their joint sweetheart. Before the journev home was finisned McClure won out. Thev stopped oft’ at Cincinnati and were married. M c I ntosh & mcnair , HARWDARE, TINWARE and CHINA. STOVES, RANGES and HEATERS.
