FOUR QUALITIES OF
HIGH PRODUCING COW
The fanner who Is willing to milk
eows at all, should milk only those
animals that will give large yields of
rich milk. Theee only are profitable;
the rest will lose money for you as
sure as you're alive.
The wise dairyman, therefore, de
mands cows with four outstanding
qualities or signs. These are capacity,
dairy temperament, well developed
milk organs and constitution and vigor.
If you will learn these four Items by
heart and find out what they mean and
how to tell them when you examine a*|
cow, you will make more money milk
ing cowi than moat men.
Cows with feed capacity full
slzed for the age and breed. They
will show plenty of room for the
storage of feed. They will have long,
deep, roomy middles, a wide forehead,
broad muzzle, good-sized mouth,
strong, sinewy Jaws and a eompara- I
tlvely long face.
Cows with dairy temperament are
best judged by the milk scale, Bab
cock tester and good yearly records.
They have comparatively long, thin
necka; sharp withers; prominent
backs, hips and plnbones; thin, In
curving thlghß, and a wedge-shaped
conformation; are free from marked
coarseneas; show alertness and marked
activity; are not overreflned.
Cows with well-developed milk or
gans have uddera of good size for age
and stage of lactation, with quarters
of udder uniformly developed; have
udder extended well forward under
neath the body and high up behind
und between the thighs; udder well

Feeding Value of Xeast
Determined by Expert
Under the direction of Dr. C. H.
Eckles of the dairy department of the
Minnesota College of Agriculture, an
experiment was carried on with calves
to determine the supplementary feed
ing valut of yeast. .Several groups of
calves were used to determine whether
yeast would produce faster growth,
stronger calves snd otherwise be ad
vantageous to use. The conclusions
drawn from the experiment are aa fol
lows:
L The addition of vitamin B In the
form of dried yeast to the rationa or
dinarily fed on dairy farms did not
Increase the rate of growth of calves
from the age of 20 to 180 day a

the health of calves as a result of sup
plenfcnting their rationa with dried

Feed Milk and Water
No calf should receive more thsa
16 pounds of milk a day. Many dairy
men make the mistake of thinking
that because they are feeding skim
mtia they most give more than they
would of Whole milk. This Is not a
good practice. Chives should also be
supplied with water and be given an
opportunity to drink all the water they
wlah. If tbay can ran to water at
will, so much the better, but feeding
water to a bucket twice a day will an
swer the purpose very well If It la
done regularly. _____ J
rested better. I kept tak
ing it and my skin and Jg
flesh took on a more
healthy colbr. I felt Eg
stronger and, as the nerv
ousness left me, the pain $
in my side was less severe.
After taking nine* bottles, jg
I eat anything, go any- jg
where and feel fine. I »
weigh 160 pounds and am Ej
well. I feel that I owe it " fig
all to having used Cardui." gs

PURE BRED POULTRY
MOST PROFITABLE
It is often suit] that pure bred flocks
arc more profitable than mongrels and
there Is every reason to believe ttmt j
they are; but there is one provision i
that must be taken Into consideration;
namely, pure bred poultry must be
better cared for than are mongrels.
Those who do not Intend to care for
pure breds properly should stick to
mongrels, but given care and attention
pure breds will repay doubly for it as
compared with the mongrels.
There are reasons, says D. 11. Hall, J
extension poultry husbandman of 1
Clenison college.
Pure bred poultry will produce a
uniform product and will bring a
higher price. The eggs from pure
breds are uniform in size, shape and
color. When eggs from pure breds
do vary the variation Is considerably j
less than from mongrels.
Pure breds are faster growers and
when grown produce a more uniform
flock. There Is not a better advertise
ment for a farm than a llock of pure
bred chickens. They will attract more
attention than any other form of live
stock.
Pure breds will nlso lay more osgs j
If properly handled. This has been j
proved beyond nil doubt by various 1
experiment stations.
Pure bred poultry is also more eco
nomical with feed consumption. They
lay more 1 ' eggs, hence they pay more
for their feed and give a higher profit.
Pure bred stock and eggs can' be
sold for breeding purposes. This will
be a* good source of Income for the
pure bred breeder. Mongrels and j '
mongrel eggs can be sold only for mar- I •
ket prices.
Pure breds can be exhibited in ,
poultry shows and thus compete for
prizes. There Is nothing like a blue 1
ribbon from a poultry show. Mongrels ■
cannot be placed in a show for prizes. !
Pure breds will create Interest in 1
poultry. Who Is the enthusiast about i
poultry In any community? Why, the
farmer with the pure bred, of course. ] '
Why are you not about
your poultry? If you have mongrels
that may lie the reason. Get pure '
breds and be proud of them.

there are four rooms to provide the
necessary sleeping quarters for a

This borne la a frame building with
a concrete foundation and basement.
With the porch it would be
much on the order of the old-fashioned
two-gable bouses that ware so com
mon thirty or forty years ago. But
the roof at the front has been extend
ed out over a porch, increasing the
width of the bouse; dormer windowa

both front and back, with the result
Jhat there are two extra bedrcon * on
the second floor. This roof extension
(AMANCE GLEANER, GRAHAM, N. 0.
and the dormers also add much to
the appearance of the home.
The entrance door is eplaced near
one end of the «porch, which, by the
way, is 8 feet deep and 24 feet 6 Indies
long. The entrance is directly Into
the living room, which, as it will be
seen by the floor plans, Is a large
room, 23 feet 0 inches long and 13 feet
wide.- At on? end is an open fireplace
and at the other the stairs run to the
second floor.
The dining room is connected with
the living room by a double-cased
opening. This room is -12 by 13 feet
and has a window projection in which
are three sets of double sash, making
the room a light and cheerful one. The
kitchen adjoins the dining room at the
right. At the back are a bedroom on
the corner, 8 by 11 feet, and a wash
room, for the accommodation of the
laundry equipment. This room is 11

Upstairs are three bedrooms and a
bathroom. Each of these rooms is
rather large and has plenty of light
and ventilation. It also will be noted
that the shape of the house permits
plenty of closet_ space, a feature that
will appeal to the home maker.
The excellent exterior appearance of
this home and the large amount of
room It contains will appeal to many
heads of rather large families who are

sign that will not cost a great amount

Need of Care in Home
Planning Emphasized
When a man has reached the de
sired goal in business and his stand
ing* is assured, it Is then that he turns
his attention toward a suitable abode.
Noteworthy is the man who has at
tained this stage, but real success
comes in his having erected not only
a beautiful mansion, bat something
that will outlast the first dazzling
splendor of beauty; and that is—com
fort and convenience.
Most people go Into a home-build
ing proposition with a superficial
knowledge of building conditions and
expect to dictate at leisure and have
every whim gratified; but this In
volves much tnore than merely sign
ing m check, or giving slight approval
as fheistructure advances.
It means careful planning with
each individual immediately con
cerned. Everyone has definite ideas
and particular tastes and no matter
how renowned the architect may be,
he cannot carry out the Important
Items without the help of the owner.
A future home should be visualized
In one's mind clearly and minutely
and the Important conveniences ques
tioned before any action is taken. One
can go so far as to even place the
furniture in the rooms and In this
way save the numerous complications
that might otherwise appear later on.
Thus when you have built and re
built your ideal to yeur entire sat
isfaction, the architect may then
more easily draw up the plans to your
gratification. As the project pro
gresses there are many advisory con
sultations to be considered with the
architect ind last but not least the
contractor, with whom generally rests
the working out of the detailed ideas
of both the architect and the owner;
for he has had years of practical ex
perience.
Another Important consideration Is
that the owner should have final
choice In the matter of choosing the
contractor, for It Is just as Important
to have a good contractor as it is to
have a good architect.
In these busy times when there Is
an increased amount of energetic pow
ers awakened, there is a tendency to
ward slipping up on the finer points
of a construction —sooner to view the
completion. It is sometimes the little
details that are the keynotes to per
fection.
The home is the center around
which revolves the affairs of the world
and better Is your city, country and
the nation Itself when, with careful
planning. It has become an Inspiration
—a dream realized.
Protecting Floor
When painting mop boards or wain
scoting or walls In general lay a strip
of paper on the floor, tight against the
mop board to catch drops of paint
The paper can be moved along as the
work progresses and. with reasonable
care, no paint will reach the floor.
Should Resist an Hour
One-hour flre protection la needed
to.-reslst the flre generated by tk* or
dinary contents of home or office oc
cupancy. I'rojier use of meisl lath
plaster provides this protection.
'FARM*
POULTRY
EGG PRODUCTION IS
AIDED BY DRY MASH
One of the most common mistakes
which nmny poultry keepers make Is
to leave the dry mash out of the ra
tion which they feed their laying
hens. The most common mistake of
those who feed a mush is that they
leave animal food out of the wash.
To obtain economical egg produc
tion without* a well-balanced iunsh is
an uphill proposition. The principal
reason for this is that a hen will eat
more feed when a portion of it is fed
in the form of a dry mash. When a
mash is fed the hens will hold up In
production longer, as it improves
their physical condition and prevents
early molting, which throws them out
of laying condition. A well-balanced
mash also helps the hens to molt
quickly when the proper time comes.
A dry mash without animal food,
such as tankage or meat' scraps, or a
substitute for such food in the form
of skim milk, buttermilk, powdered
milk, evaporated milk, etc., is but lit
tle better than no mash at all. Those
who feed a mash of ground corn and
oats without a protein f&ed might Just
about as well not feed mash at all.
For those who have not been using
a dry mash it Is suggested that they
try the following simple mixture: 100
pounds ground corn, 100 pounds ground
oats, 100 pounds wheat middlings and
100 pounds Of meat scraps or tank
age. If plenty of skim milk or but
termilk is available, put
pounds of the meat scraps or tankage
in the mixture. For the scratch feed
use a mixture of 200 pounds corn, 100
pounds oats and 100 pounds of wheat.
Feed the- dry mash in a hopper from
which the liens can eat at any time.
Feed u:"wf (ne-third of the scratch
feed in the rooming' and the remain
der just before roosting time. Adjust
the amount of scratch feed so that the
hens will eat at least one and one
half pounds of the mash to two
pounds of the scratch feed. It the
hens do not take readily to the dry
mash, feed a portion of it at noon In
a slightly dampened, orumbly condi
tion. A ration of this kind, supple
mented by some succulent food, such
oats, will make the birds
lay if they are reasonably well bred.
Undersized Pullets Are
Low Producers of Eggs
Unlike chickens, turkeys do not lay
during the winter and therefore no
nests need to be provided for them
until spring. Then, if at liberty and
left to their own resources, they some
times select locations for their nests
that are much more suitable to the
turkeys than to the owner. Often
they are in such secluded places that
the eggs are liable to get lost, chilled
or broken.
Hence it is often advisable to place
neqts here and there about the place.
Old barrels turned toward a fence or
placed in a bush heap, or In the cor
ner jjX a board pile and bedded with
leaves or old hay with a china egg or
two, will sometimes prove tempting.
Old boxes with nests in them, placed
In out-of-the-way corners or simply
nests of hay containing clilna eggs In
corners of the shed will prove satisfac
tory.
If any of these places are adopted
by the turkey she will lay there and
thV eggs may be taken care of until
she wants to sit. If the weather Is
cold the good eggs may be gathered
and china eggs put in their places.
The same thing may be done if they
are in danger of being destroyed by
rats, crows, or other varmints. How
ever, it is never advisable to use new
barrels or boxes, or anything which
suggests the hand of man when mak
ing nests to attract the turkeys.
Standard Bred Poultry
Should Always Be Used
In reply to the question, "Whnt is
the best breed of chickens?" the an
swer is, "There is no best breed."
' There is often a greater difference be
tween strains of the same breed than
there Is between different breeds. From
the 46 breeds and 125 varieties of
chickens recognized by the American
Standard of Perfection It should be
easy to suit every one, no matter how
discriminating. In choosing a breed or
variety of chickens three things should
Influence the breeder. First the avail
ability and adaptability of the breed;
second, personal preference; and third,
choosing a breed or variety suitable to
the purpose for which it is to be used.
In any case decide on a standard breed
because they are more efficient and
profitable. Products from sucli a flock
' are uniform. There is nothing hi the
! popular Idea that cross breds lay bet
| ter or are healthier than standard
; breds.
Mold in Oat Sprouter
The easiest method of stonping mold
la the at sprouter Is to add ten drops
of formalin to the water that is used
to soak six quarts of oats or a similar
proportion to other amounts. The
formalin does not injure the feeding
qualities of th« oats, hut iielgp to

The telephone was jingling discord
antly and Cleave was conscious of an
acute presentiment of disaster as lie
took down the receiver. *
"You wife .. . accident ..." he
heard n voice saying. " "Thrown from
the buggy . . . bend in the road . . .
unconscious and grave fears .. .
come home at once."
Cleave hung the receiver up and sat
staring moodily at the papers upon
his desk. It seemed like fate, this ac
cident, for he had not expected to see
Mary again for months., if ever.
They bad been married two years,
and had no child. If one hud come
things might have been different —they
might not have Quarreled so perpetu
ally.
How she had loved him before their
marriage, thought Cleave, as he sat at
his desk. Then she had striven at
first to make him happy! And he, too,
had tried hard to be good to .her, for
Mary was very lovable and s\?eet. But
at last they had both given up in de
spair. Cleave would always remem
ber the words she had said to him that
night, three months before:
"I can forgive you, John, and love
you, but the memory of these two un
happy years must always be with me.
It can never be quite the same again."
And after that everything had
seemed hopeless. Things had gone
from bad to worse. And finally they
had decided that Mary should go buck
to her mother, to spend tile summer
with her. There was to be no scandal.
Mary had been on her way to the sta
tion when the accident happened.
Suddenly there swept over him a
fuller realization than had ever be
fore come to him of his selfishness.
If he could only have one chance
more!
An hour's run and he was trending
the streets "f the country village in
which lie He saw'his hoims an
auto mob! • tanding before the
door. I. . a. The doctor and
a nurse, uuuioned, were in
the ball. \> hen the doctor had finished
speaking, and the nurse had sped up
the stairs, he turned to him.
"Tour wife has had a very serious
accident, Mr.' Cleave," he said. "She
was thrown out of the buggy when the
horse swerved, and*sustained a frac
ture of the skull. There is no immedi
ate danger, lam happy to say. She.
may recover consciousness at afiy
time. But we fear gjuie brain in
jury."
All through that afternoon John
Cleave sat St his wife's bedside, star
lag Into the wide-open eyes that saw
nothing. She lay in a stupor.
It w as not until the third afternoon
that consciousness returned.
It was about three o'clock In the aft;
e.-noon when she stirred and spoke.
She smiled at him, and the smlla was
like that which she had worn upon
their wedding morning.
"Dearest —where am I?" she asked.
"At home," said John, thrilling at
faint clasp of her fingers. "At
home, never to go away again."
"She spoke to you, you say?" In
quired the doctor of John that eve
ning. "She knew you and spoke and
seeined rational?"
"Absolutely rational," answered John
Cleave, and turned away. He went
Into his room and on his knees thanked
God for the chance that was to be
tyf- His prayer was answered.
"ijpw Joog hare we been married,
John?" Mary asked next day. "It
seems such a long time, somehow, and
yet I know that It can't really be an
suUn> as that calendar on the
**
wall seems to
John looked at tiie calendar. It was
an old one of tue preceding year.
"It is June," said Mary, "and we
were married in June. Is it a whole
year, dearest?"
John dared not tell her that it wjts
two years.
"Dearest," she whispered, presently.
•'Put your arms round me and let me
tell you something. Do you know, all
the time f'was lying here this morn
ing. I have been thinking how unkind
I have been to you, and how unhappy
I have made you. I want you to for
give me, John. And I believe you can'
forgive me, memories of
this year of our marriage have been
so dear."
"It is you who must forgive me,
dearest," said John, humbly.
That night the doctor explained the
situation to him. .
"Your wife," he said, "is on the high
road to recovery. Her mind is as
sound as it has ever been. The brain
trouble which I anticipated amounts
simply to this: The whole of the past
year has slipped out of her memory.
Has she had any great 'trouble that
could account for this?"
"Yes, answered John, humbly, and
the doctor shot a keen glance at him.
"Then that is the explanation," he
«uid. "Her mind was troubled; she
.wishes to forget the epUode, whatever
it was. It is necessary for her to for
get it in-order that she may get well.
Are you prepared to let her go
through life with no memory of that
one year?"
"lnde»d, I am," said Cleave, "espe
cially since you think It is f£r the
best."
"You have a very charming wife,
, Mr. Cleave," he -added. ' Guard her
and care for her — and let tlie past
fcury ita dead."
And John, kneeling at Mary'* bed
side, !>#.;iked God thai hie chare? had
come, and renewed his rows, never
more to be broken.
Don't Wean Calves Too
Early, Advises Hulce
Calves from the modern highly do
mesticated dairy cow are nbt overfed
the first two weeks of their lives on
the average Wisconsin dairy farm.
"Calves are raised the most success
fully at the Wisconsin station by let
ting them suck their dams until two
to seven days old," states R. S. Hulce
In charge of the Wisconsin dairy herd.
Only where e reliable experienced man
is in charge would he advise
feeding before the calves are one Oc
two weeks old.
The reason for fatalities among
calves are Improper hand feeding
lack of clean warm dry pens. Hulce
advises against the use of any foreign
matter to reduce the acidity of the
kVerage cow's milk. Only where calve*
