pwnrtm. iraffwjr n MIRY IAJL J jTy Smk QUALITIES OF THE AYRSHIRE Animal Is Quito Intelligent, Quick to Learn and of Retentive Memory Easy to Milk. Tho general appearance ot an Ayr phlro, as you look at her, la striking, being alert and full or life and re served energy. Sho la a healthy ocw, rarely having ailments of body and udder, and you seldom see an Ayrshire cow but that has four healthy quar tern In her udder and gives a uniform Quantity of milk from each. She la very persistent milker, giving a uniform quality well up toward calv ing, and many of them are dried off with difficulty. Sho is very intelligent, quick to learn and of a retentive memory, easily taught to take the same place in tho stable and, if required to change, will in a few days readily tako tho new place. She Is quiet and pleasant to milk, not easily dis turbed, and will aa a rule yield her milk aa readily to one milker as to another, and doeB not seem disturbed by any amount of noise in the stable. As a dairy cow sho is particularly adapted to the production of milk for the milkman and for table use, aB her medium size, vigorous appetite and easy keeping qualities make her an economical producer, while her even, uniform production makes her a reli able supply, and the richness of her milk in total solids places It above suspicion from city milk inspectors. Her milk la particularly adapted to transportation, as it doeB not churn or sour easily, and when poured back and forth a few times will readily mix the cream back Into tho milk, which will not again readily separate, giving it a uniform quality until the s last is sold or used. It has a good body, 1b rich looking and never looks blue. The milk itself being easily balanced with casein and butter fat, 1b a complete, food, easily digested, nutritious, and is particularly adapted to children and invalids. Stomachs that are weak and unable to direct other milk find no trouble with Ayr shire cow's milk. FOR USE IN MILKING COW Invention of Florida Man Provldea Vertical Partition Between Milk er and Animal. The Scientific American in describ ing a sanitary structure and milking appliance, Invented by O. M. Lummls of Fort Myers, Fla., says: "This invention provides a vertical partition Interposed between tho cow and the milker, and constructs the same with a largo opening over and in which a flexible screen formed of rub ber, skin or fabric, and having holes for insertion of the cow's teats, is ap plied so aB to completely exclude for eign substances from access to the milk pall. Thus in place of taking a MnRraanMn Appliance for Milking Cow. pall or milking machine to a cow when tied in tho open or in a stablo, the cow is taken to a particular struc ture and 1b confined therein while be ing milked. The engraving showB a cross section of a cow stall or stable and an adjoining compartment where the milker is located. Cruelty to the Cows. The milker who will thump a cow for Bqulrming under the attack of files ought to be hoisted out ot the barn on the toe ot the dairyman's boot Why should the hired man be ex pected to work ten hours or more in the harvest field and then while hot and dirty tackle the milking Job? Prepare for Future. It is imperative that we provide some means ot tiding the dairy herd over the season of falling pastures, instead of vainly regretting that it has ooourred. The dairyman who depends upon the pasture during the summer and bay during the winter to feed hla cows is treading on treacherous ground. Cow Tasting. The universal Interest in the prob lem of increasing dairy profits through ,the cow testing associations shows that dairy farmers are willing to learn better ways when they have convinc ing proof to sustain a theory. Care In Spraying. In spraying the cows, be careful (hat a geherouB quantity of tho solu tion is put on their backs, especially just behind tho shoulders, since at these points It Is difficult for the ani mals to brush off the files. erfi!0 ufja fyf7 PROFITS INCREASED BY SILO Dairyman 8hould Be Ready to Take Advantage of Opportunities to Re duce Hie Expenaea. (By J. E. DOKMAN.) If a dairy farmer wcro told that bo could roll silver dollars down a hill and then pick up two dollars for every one he rolled down, and thtB statement was verified by some of his neighbors! and hundreds of other dairy farmers In tho country, that farmer would stay' up nights and roll tho dollars. But when oi that he could double the' profits by the use of the silo he be comes very Indifferent and keeps on In the same old rut, feeding dry feed, wasting nearly half of his corn crop and doing a lot of unnecessary work. In theso days of closo competition, dairymen should bo ready to tako ad vantage of every opportunity to re duce the cost of production, and It will bo found that It is easier, if the II' ui Stave Silo Capacity 80 tons, alze 14x28 feet; cost 1132.. No roof, clay floor. proper methods are used, to do that than to raise the selling price of the dairy products. The results are the same; ajargo net profit In the corn plant about 40 per cent, of the feeding value is In the stalk and 60 per cent. In the ear. When the ear alone is fed, nearly halt of the corn crop is wasted. Where the dry stalks aro fed, at least halt of them remain uneaten, while If stored In the silo tho Iobb is almost nothing. Every dairyman knows that cows will do their beBt on fresh Juno pas ture. The grass is succulent and pal- Modified Wisconsin Silo Capacity 150 tone; alze 18x30 feet; cost, $230, complete with roof and concrete floor. atable and the conditions for a maxi mum milk, flow are ideal. These con ditions, however, do not last very long. The alio comes as near to supplying the ideal condttlona as anything tfiat can bo found, and it is available every day In the year. It provldea a uniform feed for every one of the twelve months. Highly sensitive dairy cows resent any sudden or violent change In feed, and will show it by a decreased milk flow. The change from fall pasture to dry feed is always followed by a shrinkage in the milk. In changing from the pasture to the silage, the change is not so great, and often tho cows increase the flow of milk when started on silage. Several dairymen have recently made the statement that the lncerased profits paid for the silo the first year. DAffiYWOKST Cows that are on pasture should have free access to salt Don't hesitate to increase the grain ration to keep up the milk flow. The heifer whose first milk period Is long, frequently develops the habit of long periods. With soiling crops and aome grain the 4alry herd ahould maintain a prof itable production. Greed" feed fed to milk cowa will insure larger proflta, and aa a good aid to thla result is a silo. When a dairyman learns to use the Babcock test he Is started on the way to economic salvation. One paper says: "Clean up fre quently." It would be better for the dairy farmer to keep things clean all the time. Among the men who have been phenomenally successful on the farm those who have followed dairying stand out pre-eminently. If the calves that are in the pas ture are expected to do well they should have plenty of shado and plen ty ot good clean water. Vitality is a very important char acteristlc in the dairy cow or any other farm animal. If weak along this lino tho best returns cannot be expected.

Lethrldgo stepped Into tho hallway nf tho deserted houso. Linen shroud ed tho upholstery, dust lay velvety In tho corners. There was a faint odor of mildew. The house had bten closed since his grandmother's death, almost nine ycnrB ago. When last ho quit ted the placo, thought Lethrldgo. he was a boy of twenty-five, smooth cheeked, bright-eyed, surcharged with enthusiasm. Now, after his ntno busy, successful years In tho Orient, tho familiar surroundings brought poign antly to mind the change In himself a change made up largely of the re linquishing, one by one, of his boyish dreams. How tho old house brought thorn back! These faded walls had seen tho destruction of tho bravest dream of them nil. Here It hnd met Its death, and since then, absurdly sentimental as It may seem, nothing had quite filled the gap It left, noth ing had made him forget it. How tho memory of Polly Hnydcn stayed with him, and yet he had not seen her again Blnco the farewell re ception given him hero by his grand mother on tho evo of his depnrture He had been almost confident, then, thnt sho cared for him, although there was his old classmate, Wndo Harrow, who was regarded by onlookers as having an equal chanco with himself. On learning of tho sudden luck which was to send him on his ap pointment to Japan, Lethrldgo had gone to Polly and asked her to marry him. If she would consent his plnn was to return for her In a year. She had hesitated at first It was such nn Important decision, she insisted, and she wanted to bo quite sure but she promised to givo him his answer the evening of tho reception. Ho had gone away happy, full of hope. And then camo tho bitter disappointment. Polly had come to tho reception how lovely she looked, he recalled! but very early she had gone away with Wnde Barrow without word of explanation, leaving no message. He had been hurt, piqued, and had sailed next day with a miserable load on his heart. Three months later a letter from home told him of Polly's approaching marriage to Barrow. Lethrldgo sent her a very beautiful print for a wed ding present, received n cordial note In thanks, and that was all. Nothing remained of the friendship except a haunting memory of the girl. Slowly he wandered through the desolate rooms, reviving old and sometimes painful recollections. At last he drifted Into a little study at the back of the houso and down In a worn leather armchair before a library table. Over theconter of tho table was swung a Greek lamp of dull sliver. Lethrldgo looked p at It with pleased recognition. It was a graceful thing. Ho hnd always ad mired it when he was a boy. Perhaps ho would take It back with him. He started Into a listening attitude. A step sounded In tho hall. Who could it bo? Thero was not even a care taker In the house. A shadow fell across tho doorway. Lethrldgo rose with an astonished exclamation as n Mender, block-gowned woman ap peared In ths doorway and stopped still with a frightened expression in her purpMlsh-gray eyes, "Mrs. narrow!" said lethrldgo in amazement. "Frank!" Thero was no hesitation In her use of tho first name. "I I had no Idea you wcro in America. When did you reach home?" "Yesterday. I came straight over to look at the old place. You know It has been shut up since my grand mother died, which was Just after T went away. But you? I didn't dream of seeing an old friend here." Mrs. Barrow looked a little embar rassed. -"I borrowed the keys from your cousins." she said. "I came to look for something I left here a a long time ago." "I, see! Perhaps I can help you find It. I suppose vou've lived in New York right along?" "Except for the last year and a half, which I've spent roaming about Eu rope. I, too, have Just come home. But tell me about yourself. How does It. feel to be famous?" Lethridge shrugged his shoulders. "I'm not conscious of any particular thrills," he replied smiling. "You are married, of course? It's stupid of me to ask, but I've had little news of you lately." "Indeed, no. I've not even been tn love." "No? Surely you're Joking." "Not alnce the fair Polly Haydcn banished bone forever from my breast," bo answered lightly. "I? What do you mean by that?" she Inquired curiously. "Why, the usual thing. You haven't forgotten the last evening here, In tbls very house how you were to give me an answer to a per tinent question I had aaked you. Well I got my answer and atepped aalde. That waa all." "You got my answer?" "The most conclusive kind. You went off before I could get a word with you alone, went with the man you really preferred and left no mes aage. By the way, waa It that you dreaded to Inflict the -wound of tell ing me the truth, face to face? I've always wondered." She was staring at him, wide-eyed, one band grasping the edge of the table. "Then It is trust You never got my no to i" "What note?" It was Lethridgo's turn to ntare. "I loft one for you. But shall I tell what happened?" "Please do!"- His tone wns per omptory with Btiddenly roused ex cltemcnt. "You see," sho began, her grasp on the tublo edge tightening, "when I reached hero thero wero crowds ol people about you so 'that it was Im possible to speak to you by your self. 1 hnd hnd n slight headache when I left home, and by ten o'clock It had grown so much worso thnt I saw it wns foolish to try to remain tho rest of the evening. So 1 slipped In hero for n moment, scribbled h noto to you with my answer and hid It. I wanted you to rend It, nlono, In tho quiet, nfter everybody wns gone. Then I gave directions tc one of the servants, told him whore I had put tho note and how ho was tc tell you about It before you went tc bed. Wado Insisted on going homi with me, and to keop from distressing anyone wo slipped away with only a hurried goodby to your grand mother." Sho paused. Lethridge looked at her with a strango expression. "I never got tho messago,"v he said. "I know it now. nut I didn't know It tho next dny when I wni slok In bed thnt headache was the beginning of nn attnek of grip and when I waited, thinking surely you would come. You sniled without 'oven telephoning mo. I wns angry, and my pride wns hurt. It didn't occur to me until long afterward that thero might have been a mistake. What I balloved was that you had changed your mind about how you felt toward mo and that you thought the safest way out of it was merely to disregard my note." , "To what servant did you give tho message?" asked Lethrldgo after a pause. "I think It wbb your grandmother's old butler. I knew his fnen and was sure I could trust him to deliver the messngo." Lethridgo's face changed. "Watson! I remember It all. Tho old fellow waB stricken with apoplexy that very evo ning and never regained conscious ness. I didn't know It till next morn ing. So that explains It." He turnod to her again. "And where did you put tho note?" he Inquired. "Here. In this room. I slipped it Into the silver lamp there." With a quick gesture Lethrldgo reached up Into ' the carved rocop taclo and withdrew his hand, cov ered with dust. Ho held a yellowed scrap of paper which was wrapped around something brown and crum bling. "That was a rose a pink rose from my bouquet." said Mrs. Barrow, with n nervouB ltttlo laugh. Slowly Lethridge read tho faded writing, his face pnllng. He finished and put the noto Into his pocket, then Btood gazing at her, a queer pain at his heart. For a moment neither spoko. "After after I married," said Mrs. Bnrrow, hesitatingly, "I sometimes wondered If something llko this hndn't happened. It was so unlike you to act nil first accused you of acting. But I didn't feel right about trying to find out when I wns Wade's wife. I would novor como hero even on the smnll chance of finding tho note while ho was nllvo." "While Wado was alive?" "Yes. You knew, of course, that Wnde died at Carlsbad two years ago?" "I hndn't heard It. Poor Wado! Hut why do I say that? Ho must havo been happy. He had everything a man could want to make him so." She looked down at tho faded car pet. "Yes, I be)leve he was very happy," she replied. Then, after a moment, and in a brighter tone, "Well, mv mission is fulfilled. I have found what I came to search for my old note, and my belief In you. And now It Is time to depart. Shall I look forward to seeing you before you go away? Come In some afternoon to too nnd we'll talk of old days." "Why not talk them over now?" Lethridge moved a step nearer her. "Say It is ten years ago. I am the same Frank Lethridge, and you are Polly Hayden. You're Just twenty" "That's a far flight for fancy," she smiled ruefully. "For fancy, perhaps, but is It a far flight for love? Listen: I have Just read your note. The nine years it took to reach me have not been long enough to alter the question to which It replies. Tell me the truth is it too late for me to hope?" She hesitated, much as she had done on a previous occasion, a sud den shyness In her eyes. He leaned toward her impulsively and caught her two bands In his. "Polly! I'm repeating my ques tion. What answer will you give me?" "You have It in your pocket," she replied. (Copyright, 1M, hv Associated Literary Press.) oy Post From a Farm.
