As a means of converting the raw products of the farm into more saleable forms, the good dairy cow is without a peer. The good beefing animal will pay very little more than market prices for food fed from birth to shambles. The sheep, with her fleece and her lambs gives only a .very modest profit on food consum- ed. The pig and the hen, if wisely fed, do much better than either of the above, but it is very seldom that the returns from either of them go beyond one dollar and fifty cents for one dollar's worth of food consumed. The dairy cow, however, frequently goes as high as two dollars Worth .of product for one dollar’s worth of food, and many a cow has been known to give two dollars and fifty cents Worth of product for one dol- lar's worth of food consumed. Most herds fall far short of such a high return. The reasons may be sum- lmariled as lack of breeding, im- proper or insufficient feeding, and lack "of judgment and management. EVERY DAIRY HERD. should average over fifty dollars’ .worth of products per cow per year. If your herd is not giving you such a return you are not doing it jusâ€" tice. Possibly, every individual in :the herd is not a number one dairy cow, but do you know which are Ereally doing good work and the re- llative merits of the different Cows ? In order to know your cows you must keep a daily record of the milk .yielded by each cow. We Would like "to see you do this. We are willing ito help you do it. During the past gyear a number of dairy farmers, at ,our suggestion, made an effort along ,this line. The results were most satisfactory. In our possession are "many farmer’s letters, emphasizing ,the importance and value of such records, both as a guide in selecting leows and as an effective means of directly improving the actual herd. .The extra outlay required is very small. We would supply you with record forms for a time at least. .The keeping of such records takes about one~half minute per cow per .day. The outlay. for a balance ,w0uld be from fifty cents to five :dollars. ' i The increased flow of milk due to 'keeping such a record where ten cows are kept would pay for the balance of the week. Keeping milk- ing records induces a spirit of in- terest and competition among milk- ers, and, in the mind of the milker, among the cowe milked by the same milker. Rapid, clean, and careful milking will raise the average re- turn from a cow by from two to ten per cent. according to the cowâ€"the better the cow the greater the in- crease. IF YOU EVER SELL COWS the ability to give an accurate milk record will, generally speaking, raise a cow's value, and facilitate the sale. Especially is this true if she is a pure bred. Further, know- ing the returns from each cow in any herd, you are in a position to easily select for breeding, besides, in almost every herd are found “boardâ€" ers”-cows that pay a very low price for their food, leave no pro- fit, and frequently are kept at a loss. They should be detected and fed off for beef. Keeping a milk reâ€" cord is a sure way to discover them. To the breeder of pure bred stock of any of the milking breeds, Jersey, 9‘ toy, Ayrshire, Gallacliall, or ' Shorthorn' strains, the daily ecol'd should be quite as im- portant as the breeding record. We venture the assumption that in a very few years, every breed putting forward any claims as a dairy breed, will be making a specialty of milk records. The reasons are obvious. Beauty of color, and conformation are very important, and where the breed-er makes his money in some other line than farming, he may be able to keep animals for their looks alone. We, who are farming for mo- ney, must look to the profit side of everything. With us, “Handsome is as handsome does.” » THE IIOLSTEIN MEN. have made a movement in the right (lll':?cf;l0ll with their advanced Regis- try ; the Guernsey breeders are working along similar lines. It would seem to be a good thing for some breeds, and we are sure it would be the most important step for improvement that you ever made (in you decide to introduce it. Let us urge upon you, therefore, the advisability of keeping such record. send you forms for keeping the daily record, as well as forms whereâ€" ou to make u. summary to be kept Nor reflux-nee.

Ask for the Octagonnsr :05 mm BAD COMPLEXIONS. _â€" How Cleanliness of the Skin May Be Attained. There is really no excuse for the girl who goes around with her skin making open confession that she is a. rebel against the lawa of health. There are many forms of skin dis- ease, of course, that are beyond the control of those suffering from them. Some of these are exceedingly ob- scure as to their origin and obstinâ€" ately resistant to treatment,- and all such 'cases should be under the care of competent dermatologists. We have only reference in this article to those muddy, pimply, uncared-for skins tooâ€"often shown by girls who should be in the very bloom of youth and freshness, but who, through ignorance, and far too of- ten through uncleanliness or laziness or greediness, start and maintain, sometimes through years, a condi- tion of skin that would disgrace an Eskimo. ‘ There is one great prescription, and one only, for a clear, bright complexion, and that isâ€"first, last and alwaysâ€"bodily cleanliness, both external and internal. ‘ Now, cleanliness of the skin is by no means attained by mere surface rubbing and scrubbing, although a certain amount'of this is necessary, and many a. proud, fastidious and otherwise dainty young woman needs to be told to wash her face properly. But she neens to be told more than this. The organs of this Wonderful body of ours are curiously loyal to each other. If the organ is unable to perform all the work which is put upon it, for instance the others faithfully turn in and labor to do its share as well as their own. This is a. beneficent provision for the tiding over of temporary difficulties, but it was never intended in‘ the scheme of things to become a permanent ar- rangement. When it has lasted long enough, the organ or organs doing extra Work begin to show signs of distress. Nature is just, as well as kind, and always takes toll. When the skin is put to it to per- form part of the work that should be done by the liver, the kidneys or oth- er organs, it must soon throw out its signal of distress in the form of sallownessh roughness and pimples. A young woman ashamed of her complexion should try the effect of drinking more Water and eating less candy, giving her digestive organs a bath and a. rest. Let her then treat the face to an occasional thorough washing in soft water, using one of the good, mild soaps of which there are now so many ollered. Let her also breathe plenty of fresh air, and then watch the speedy improvement that will come. On the other hand, errors of diet, neglected bowels, insufficient bathing and an unventilated bedroom would dim the complexion of a dryad in a week.-â€"Youth’s Companion. .__.._._+_._.\_.

LINIMENTS, OILS AND MANY OTHER MEDICINES DID NO GOOD. _â€" A New Brunswick Postmaster Tells of His Efforts to Cure His Kidney Troubleâ€"He Suffered for Years and Tried Many Medicines But Only Recently Found the Right One. Lower Windsor, N.B., April 7.â€" (Special)â€"-Mr. T. H. Belyea, postâ€" master of this place, has made a very interesting statement of his experience in his efforts to be cured of Kidney Trouble which has bother- ed him for many years. At times he would have very bad spells, and when these came on he Was almost laid up. _ He tried several doctors and used many medicines, but nothing seemed to help him in the least. Plasters, oils, liniments on the outside and doses of all kinds and descriptions taken internally seem to have but one result. He was no better. ’ Finally through reading an adver- . tisement he was led to the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills. He says : “Dod‘d'B Kidney Pills were so highly recommended for Kidney Trouble that after reading_ some testimonials, I concluded to try them according to directions. . “I had tried so many things that I was very skeptical and had but little faith that Dod‘d's Kidney Pills could or would help me. However. [ did not use them long before I found that they were all and more than was claimed for them. "I have received more benefit from them than from any other medicine I have ever used, for they seem to have made a complete cure of my case. “I feel as well as ever I did and have not the slightest trace of the Kidney Trouble ever so long. “I want to say that I believe that Dodd’s Kidney Pills are the right medicine for Kidney Trouble.” Mr. Belyea is very well known to everybody in this neighborhood and there are but few who have not been aware of his serious illness. Everyone is delighted at his imâ€" proved‘ health and his published statement has done much to make Dodd’s Kidney Pills even more popular in this neighborhood than they have been. â€"â€"â€"â€"+ All the strongest animals are vege- tarians, the elephant being the most powerful, and the rhinoceros next.

But. the oldâ€" est engine now at work is said to be a Newcomen engine in a colliery at Rutherglen, near Glasgow. It was built in 1809, and has worked conâ€" tinuously to the present time.
