The Moulin de la Galette , Paris
sumptuous ball room where the city's
criminal classes congregate for their
social whirl , lias reopened owing to
the urgent request of the prefecture
of police. Sometime ago it was or
dered closed by the municipal council
because it was declared to be the hot
bed of youtlg crime and the place
where minors received their llrst In
tense desire for distinction in the bo-
clal set of thugdom.
But crime has not grown less in
the gay Paris capital , In fact it has
Increased. Tha police who without
the Moulin have not been able to keep
track of the criminals or ferrit out
the many crimes that have shocked |
' the city , have urged the reopening of
the place and so it Is that Paris is
again to harbor the most remarkable
Institution in the world , and the vis
itor to the French capital will be able
to arrange with a detective from the
prefecture to go up the hill to the
reopened Moulin and see more very
( wicked men in social relaxation than
collect In any other one place in the
world.
Have no fear of violence inside , but
beware the wine shops round about ,
where the apprentices of crime let
their bad passions ride uncurbed. In
side the Moulin they are curiously
suave and ceremonious. Harsh words
are not thrown recklessly. When a
dancer bumps another he begs par
don. "On examination you will llnd
the statement inexact" is as near as
they get to liar.
This is because they are fulfilling
the social ideal of their women. The
fierce girls are proud of their gar-
voters and housebreakers as high spir
ited exceptions to the sheep-liko mass
of men. Their Ideal is the Iron hand
in the velvet glove ; and they have
forced it on their men within these
walls. Besides , they always have a
lurking fear. They know , perhaps ,
what Goron said when ho was chef dc
Giirete :
"Did the Moulin not exist I should
have to invent it ! "
For once a Paris criminal has
brought n "coup" off has "made a
condition , " as they call It he feels
the attraction of the Moulin. The
police count on it.
You may ask : If he knows the po
lice count on his showing up in these
luxurious halls with his ill-gotten
gains , why doesn't he wisely keep
away ?
It Is more complicated than that ,
He may , as rightly , argue that his ab
sence will bo taken as still more sig
niflcant. Ho may keep away one night
two nights ; but the thought will ob
trude : "I look afraid to show up ! "
In the end ho shows up. He dreads
that his absence will be noted , if not
by the high police , then the camaros
( "comrades" ) of two species ; reckless ,
loyal pals , who may laugh at him as
over-prudent ; and the sinister Judas
comrade , shadowy and painful even
to think of , the microbe of this life , a
thousand times more dreaded than
acute detectives In a word , the
"seller. " He may note the man's ab
sence and put two and two to
gether !
Every motive calls him to the Mou
lin. His girl wants to show off her
new finery to show to the other
women she is not tied to a non-pro
ducer. She desires to dance and drink
and laugh with her man in these hours
of plenty.
Both crave their fling in the glitter
ing surroundings that mean success ,
joy of life and social triumph to them.
And if the man has a more than usual
ly black crime upon his mind he wants
to forget it In the razzle , hardening
himself In contact with others like
him.
him.He argues that to show up "in so
ciety" Is normal. In the usual course
of things , with nothing extra on his
conscience , ho would show up at the
Moulin. Of course , If ho spends a lot
of money it will be a sign against him ;
but ho will spend prudently. Quoi !
He need only keep his mouth shut
and act normal !
So the Moulin always has been the
most productive stalking ground for
the Parisian secret police.
The detectives come disguised getup
up like honest burglars , thugs tr bullies -
ies how , It matters little. As soon
as they put their nose inside the Mou
lin , they are spotted. The word goes
round :
"There are gentlemen of the balloon
among us ! "
No one seems to pay attention to
them. All goes on as usual. Now and
then a timid brother , talking over c
"condition" with his mates , or hag
gllng prices with a fence , will speak
of going elsewhere , to bo private.
"Idiot ! " the others whisper , "do you
want to get us shadowed special ?
Here we're part of the big push. Sit
tight ! "
Of comse , the idea is correct
Groups form and break up. You can't
damn a man for talking with acquaint
unces , nor indict a burglar just be
cause he's pleasant in society !
Crash ! It is the Strong Men's Quad
rille ! Two hundred proudly Hashing
girls j prance with their heroes. Champagne
pagno corks pop. Tipsy toughs dc
cakewalk steps alone. Triumphant
young thugs swell with social satlsfac
tion , beg to be presented , thump the
tables and call for more wine !
In the midst the detectives prowl
apparently so helpless ! Heie is the
stalking ground. Here is the game.
Hut how can they get at it ?
They arc putting two and two to
gether. Men whoso style is known
are seen to be In funds or not. Un
known men show up well heeled. New
groups have formed they're very
interesting. Such and such men have
a queer look. All these data are to be
compared with data gathered by the
outside members of the brigade and
by humble Indicators not quite In the
movement. The detectives are close
to this work both in mentality and
passions. Most of them have come up
fiom the same depths as the thugs
So they feel hidden currents.
Night by night they como and go
nud wait. Often the putting of a
hundred trilling things together
throws suspicion on the guilty party
Paris detectives of this close to the
criminal class don't seek for clues ;
they rubber around to find out "the
mistake. " The guilty party always
makes some big mistake. And often
est he makes it at the Moulin , in the
exaltation of a glass too much.
So the detective comes and goes
and waits. He knows ho is spotted
at the Moulin. He counts on it. He
counts on it that in the turmoil oi
passions , jealousies , caprices , ennuis ,
fears and needs stirred up by a great
social center like the Moulin his pres
ence may bo a continual temptation
for the s.ecret to come to him of it
self !
It comes in a whisper.
The detective quits the gorgeous
halls. As he strolls in the dark a
man or woman brushes past him.
The sleuth changes his course In ac
cordance \\tth the whispered indica <
tion. He looks back to &ee he is not
followed ; turns a corner , and looks
back again. There Is no one but him
self and the mysterious person.
And they whisper in the shadow.
The next afternoon as he is sleep
ing the footpad or burglar with a
black crime on his conscience will be
\\akcd by the law knocking on his
door.
"Hey , there ! Less baruf ( noise and
bluff ) , you're caught for good , a cam
nio has sold you ! "
So the arresting police rudely ex
plain the state of things to the strtig
gling criminal.
And that night Judas will show up
at the Moulin do la Galetto in funds
or filled with an interior tranqulllty
He or she Is avenged.

RAISE THEM
Use a Good Sire and Improve the Standard of Your Herd
By Wilbur J. Frascr , Chid * in Dairy Hus
bandry , Illinois University.
Many dairymen are not raising their ,
heifer calves ; instead the hunt In ie-
plenlshed by buying cows. Four pro
fessional cow buyers sold about 7,000
cows In the vicinity of Elgin. 111. ,
alone , last year ; besides this ninny
cows were shipped In by the dairy
men themselves. On many dairy
farms the heifer calves , good , bad and
Indifferent , go for veal. Where this
is done it means there la no provi
sion for perpetuating the dairy herd or
the best cows in it.

An Inspection of dairy herdw will
show that many times comparatively
little attention IB paid to the quality
of the sire. In a recent visit to the
dairy region of northern Illinois , the
writer noted six herds In which the
holfor calves were raised for future
cows , but in which the sires used
were miserable llttlo scrubs , veritable
runts and weaklings , obtained by sim
ply saving a grade calf from a poor
herd. Of many other sires fairly good

hree years' record of 4D5 pounds of
butter fat per year , was making no of-
ort to perpetuate her superior quail-
Ics but was selling her calves at $2.50
each. This Is certainly a ruinous prac
tice to the daily business.
The cow buyer cannot got enough
eally good cows to supply his pur
chasers , as but few of the best cows
are for sale. The dairyman himself
must raise the heifer calves of his
best cows and not depend on any
body's offerings to replenish his herdA
Ho line the breeding stock , the feed
cheap feed and the equipment. Calf-
raising is a natural part of his busi
ness. It is absurd to suppose that as
LI rule he can buy as good cows as he
can raise. The reasons are plain. He
needs to retain but few calves each
year and can sell the less-promising
ones. He knows the parentage of the
calves and need save none but those
from high-producing mothers. It is
far easier to sell Inferior stock ( to the
butcher ) than to buy cows that are
excellent producers.
A prominent , dairyman of the state
says of his grade herd : "Tho heifers
wo raise from our best cows are bet
ter milk producers with their first
calves than are the average mature
cows we can buy. " Several of our
mo&t progressive dairymen have said
practically the same thing.
Yet In the face of all this , hundreds
of dairymen make no effort to save
their best heifer calves , and they
think they have a reason. They say
The Bull Is One-Half of the Herd.
it takes too much milk. This question
was carefully investigated with 48
calves by the Illinois experiment sta
tion. Twelve calves at a time were
tested at four different times. It was
found they could bo successfully raised
on IfiO pounds of whole milk and 400
pounds of sklmmllk. This milk was
fed at the rate of ton pounds per day
until the calves were CO days old ,
when it was gradually lessened one
pound per day for ton days and then
no more was fed. No substitutes for
milk were used. Only ordinary grains
which the farmer produces , and a
good quality of legume hay were fed ,
showing that the dairyman can raise
a calf in this way with almost no ex
tra trouble. Several of these calves
are now cows in milk and good pro
ducers , Indicating that they were not
injured by this method of raising.
The sale value of the milk fed these
calves was as follows :
150 Hi , whole nilllc Q > $1 per 100 $1.50
400 Ib. bkiin milk ® $0.30 per 100 1.20
Total $ .i.0
And these prices of milk are liberal ,
especially as they are paid at the farm ,
and no money or labor Is expended In
hauling the milk to market. It is not
so expensive to raise a calf as the
dairymen have thought. Tlio grain
and hay consumed by the holfois of
high quality will glvo much bettor re
turns than the same feed fed to cows.
Raising the heifer calves of good
high-producing cows , Is a great ftinda
mental requisite for ( he best and
easiest Improvement of the dairy
herd. But those calves will take their
qualities from both parents , and it IB
eijuall ) important that the calf uliall

uncestors.
With a herd of 40 COWB , as hero II
ustrated , each cow represents one-
eightieth of the future herd each year ,
and the whole number of 40 cows rep
resent forty-eightieths of the herd , and
the good well-bred sire represents one-
half or forty-eightieths of nil the qual
ity and qualities , character and char
acteristics , the capacity for milk pro-
luction , and everything else , transmit

tute the succeeding herd. '
A fine dairy sire can bo bought for

per head , the herd comes to $2,100.
The hull costs only ono-sovcntconth of
the investment , yet ho will Improve
the future herd ns much as the other
slxteen-sevontcentlis. The extra $100
put into a good sire is the host invest
mcnt In the herd.
Forty-one animals are purchased ;
one animal will influence the future
herd as much as the other 40. It Is
worth while , then , to glvo much extra
time and study to the selection of that
one , the sire.
From generation to generation the
succession of well-selected sires goes
on increasing and Intensifying the Im
provement of the herd. In this way
the sire becomes three-fourths , seven-
eighths , fifteen-sixteenths , etc. , of the
herd. In fact In a few years the sire
IB practically "tho whole thing "
So the sire may bo much more than
half the herd whether Judged by the
quantity , strength , quality or accumu
lated effect of the characteristics ho
transmits. It Is literally true that the
sire may thus , within a few years , at
slight expense , completely transform a
dairy herd and more than double its
profit.
Every man who has had any ex
tended experience or observation in
the use of a good pure-bred sire from
high-producing dams at the head of a
dairy heid , will agree that this sire
was of peculiar value and great econ
omy in building up the herd. The rec
ords of dairy breeding have proved
It conclusively a thousand times over.
No man who studies the facts can
doubt It. The evidence Is to bo seen
in the heifers of every such sire , and
in their contrast with heifers lacking
such parentage.
Loose Shoes. The horse's shoes
should bo kept tight. A loose shoo
greatly tires the liorso that has to
wear it , especially if ho has to work
on hard roads. It Is often a cause of
lameness. I/ioso shoes can bo prevented
vented by taking the horse to the
blacksmith's occasionally and having
him examine the shoes to see if they
need tightening.
Mow the Pasture Weeds. It is n
good tiling to mow the pasture weeds
at the beginning of summer , so that
the cows will not get a chanceto eat
them oven if they so desire. This
will help keep the milk from having
a weedy flavor and will also give the
grass a chance to begin to supplant
the weeds.

bushels each year for 19 successive
years. Last year the fruit was Just
