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. On
the day lielore her death she gave »ixty-
six pounds of milk.

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

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.
