Henry came from a Farm, where he slept on a Straw Tick, plowed through the Snow Drifts to the Little Red School associated with a House, sporty Hired Hand and toiled under the hot Sun for Nothing a Month. Later he did Janitor Work and lived on Soda Crickers and other Food devoid of .Vitamins while struggling through a Sectarian College. When he arrived in the City he lacked about Ten Beans of having Anything at all and the only Fact that saved his Boarding House from being a Flop Joint was that the Windows had Lace Curtains.

In this Respect they were running true to Form. It is hard to find Parents who have any Faith in Recipes.

Three cows in the Sumney herd, representing 800 pounds of fat annually were sold to a butcher for almost sufficient cash to purchase one cow of known - production. This animal returned 430 pounds of fat at a feed cost of $56.10 per year as compared to a feed cost of $121 for the three cows. This was a saving of $64.90 for feed with less labor and investment. The owner also disposed of 370 pounds of surplus milk. An offspring from this one cow could easily be valued, when six months of age, at $15 more than one from each of the cows. - Experiments aimed at fixing the incatheritance factors in tle are to be undertaken by the Minnesota agricultural experiment station at its Waseca branch. Dr. Andrew Boss, vice director of the Minnesota experiment station, and Supt. Robert E. Hodgson of Waseca, will carry on the work. They are now studying pedigrees of milking Shorthorns with a view to buying a numfemales for a ber of foundation herd. More interest is being manifested or milkby farmers in now ever than Shorthorns before, ing says Doctor Boss. This has probably been accentuated, he says, by the recent high beef prices and the present low prices for dairy products. While it is known that many Individual animals of the dual purpose type have the capacity to produce both beef and milk efficiently, one of the big drawbacks fs that such cattle cannot be depended upon to transmit these qualities to their offspring. The present series of experiments will be designed to correct this deficiency. dual-purpos- e high-produci- dual-purpo- Guarding Against Bloating Losses through turning the dairy herd on legume pastures have already been reported.- These losses may be largely eliminated if a little forethought Is exercised. A nearby dairyman who has pastured his cows largely on alfalfa for the past 30 years, has yet to lose the first cow by bloat He never turns them to pasture when the clover Is wet with dew or rain. For the first week or so the cows are on pasture only a few hours daily, and are always turned on after they have had a full feed of hay and are not hungry. After a few days of this treatment the cows are left on the pasture except at milking time. If It should happen at any' time during the season that the cows are on permanent pasture for a few days or weeks, and are then turned back to clover pasture, they are again filled with dry feed before being allowed on the clover, and the clover must be dry. - A I f k $ d Self-Mad- - Inheritance Factors velvet Having roved that Assets have no Value unless they are won in Battle, the Chil-drthey proceed to spoon-fee- d and hire Foreigners to wait on e them.

Henry and Martha had been Mud Hens brought up In the Marsh, but they were determined that Endicott would be a Golden Pheasant, surrounded by Flower Beds and Fountains. They began to teach him French while he was Teething. Endicott must have been puzzled for Weeks at a Time, trying to determine which was really his Mamma : Mamselle, the Sanitary Nurse, the Kindergarten Specialist or the who was of a his making Study Responses, which probably means Something to those who are up with the Times.

When he finally went to College, a large Delegation went with him and put more than 80 Sofa Pillows in his Room and had the Curtains arranged so that the Morning Sun would not strike him in the Face, thereby causing him to start the Day In a Peevish Mood. Even if the Football Candidates did call him Queenie, he could afford to regard them with Disdain, because he knew more about Porcelains and Walter Pater than the whole Rowdy Bunch put together, and the Wife of the Assistant in Chemistry often said that his Fudges were in a Class by themselves. He came back from the Varsity with a London Accent which can be acquired only by those who are born far from Great Britain. He had acquired no Vices except that of taking As' pirin for a Headache.

The girls two sisters were widowed at an early age, and, to save his third daughter from the stigma of early widowhood, her father directed that this ceremony should be carried out The theory behind the practice is that if fate has doomed a girl to be widowed young and she goes through the ceremony of marriage with an animal or plant, the evil spirit will mistake it for her real husband and kill It Then there will be no curse to prevent her from living as long as she likes with her subsequent real husband.
