And, when oTchard, garden and sty the larder fill, Then, with a smile, wil Mary greet her BilL THE DAIRY COW "Of all the animal friends of man she is the greatest. I wish I, as you are about to sit down to your Sunday dinner, might take from your table what she has placed thereon. I would remove the cup of milk waiting at the baby's chair. I'd take the cream, the cheese, the but ter, the custard pie, the cream biscuits, the roast of beef, and leave you a meal of potatoes, beets, pickles and toothpicks. "Every scrap of her, from nose to tail, is used by man. We use her horns to comb our hair; her skin upon our feet; her hair keeps the plaster on our walls; her hoofs make glue; and her tail makes soup. Her blood is used to make our sugar white; her bones are ground to fertilize our soil. "She has gone with man from Plymouth Rock to the set ting sun. It .was her sons that turned the sod in the settlers' clearing; it was her sons that drew the prairie schooner for the sturdy pioneers while she followed. And when the day's march was done she came and gave the milk to feed the babe that was perchance to become the ruler of this country. God bless the little dairy cow." Progressive Farmer. "The cow is the foster moth er of the human race. No na tion or people has become highly civilized without her. Without her, agriculture is not permanent or prosperous, peo ple are not healthy or happy. Where the cow is kept and cared for, civilization ad vances, lands grow richer, homes grow better, debts grow fewer. She is the most used and the nfost useful of all ani mals domesticated by man." W. D. Hoard, Former Gover nor of Wisconsin. when comparing their income with that of those engaged in other lines of activity. The average of ' the value of the living furnished on these 22 Maryland farms was $1,000. Perhaps some of the farmers are more favorably situated than they think themselves at the first consideration. DOES THE AVERAGE HEN PAY? The Clip Sheet, of the U.S. Department of. Agricul ture says that it takes about 80 pounds of grain to feed the average hen for a year. This is worth, in Madison County, at least $1.75 per 100 pounds; the 80 pounds is worth $1.40 The same sheet goes on to say that this average hen lays less than 5 dozen eggs each year; she lays these 5 dozen eggs between March and June when eggs are lowest in price. They might average a return to her owner of 25 cents per doz en or $1.25. Does she pay? Every Madison County far- mer should have hens that are above the average. Then these hens should lay from 120 to 180 eggs each per year. Many of these eggs will be laid when eggs will bring 40, 50 or more cents per dozen. True she will eat a little more feed, but she will also sell her eggs for more than enough mere to pay the feed bill. At -1 h e Madison Farmers Warehouse Grade A eggs are bringing 55c per dozen, Grade B. eggs 42c, and Grade C eggs 36c. Most eggs, except pullet eggs, if taken care "of,; will grade as A and B.

CITY POLISH RURAL WIT A Counsellor-at-law of the City of; Asheville left a brief with a small town lawyer and later wrote to him to' send back a copy of the paper. To this the little lawyer, who resides somewhere on the Road to Toxaway, replied1 as follows I could not find a copy of the brief anywhere. Us country lawyers don't rely on briefs very, much, as we put our dependence in facts and in se lection of the jury, good and suffic ient lawyers, and the Grace of God. And we can take this combination and beat H-l out of these big town attorneys and counsellors-at-law who talk much Latin, wear, high collars, silk garters, who shave every day, put "meetin' house draps" on their handkerchiefs and carry about a leather pouch filled with briefs (which belie their name).

A group of records kept by 22 farm home makers in cooperation with the Bu reau of Home Economics, in Frederick County, Md., fur nishes some interesting figures regarding the value of the liv ing furnished to the farm fam ilies by the farm. The largest single item in these' records furnished by the s;fann was that of food. This was found to average nearly 1 quarter of the total vaue of the : family living! ;In this group the average value of the food - furnished by" the . farm was found to be $651.44. Next on , the list of things furnished by ' the farm was that of housing; this was Valued at 280.64.

I sup pose it is because they speak the language of the ordinary man. I sometimes feel sure that a "little learning is a dangerous thing", certainly a little learning is helpful in the higher courts; but you possess all of the embellishments of a city counsellor, for you are' known to shave every day, wear spats, drive like a streak of greased . lightning through the country in a high-power ed automobile, imbibe all the Scotch liquor you can get, and possess all the weaknesses and frivolities of the city man.

I Patton, Editor The McDowell News, Marion, N. C., in which he admits that he reads our stuff in the News-Record and says he likes it. . We doubt very much that friend Patton has a favor to ask, yet if he has, it is as good as done, if not beyond our power to perform. Such kind words take the place of Checks with 'tis and we have a special place in our heart to file away such letters. Let Mr. Patton take notice that the very first time we ' can go to Marion we shall look him up and make a bid for his friend ship.
