A quart of milk wasted now is about twice the lons it Ash a few years ago, and the financial loan, though greet. Is even less serious than the Waste of this essential food. Managers and employees of market milk estnbUshments should take every possible precaution to prevent waste. Here are a few suggestions along this line: To Prevent Milk Waste. Keep the shrinkage ns low ns possible by close attention to leaks, spillage and slopping. Avoid milk piping as much ns possU ble, since considerable milk will slick to pipes nt the end of the run. Have milk vats so thut they can be drained readily. Drain cans and all containers well after dumping the milk. To Save Fuel and Ice. Utilize exhnust steam wherever possible for heating the building and providing* hot water for various dairy operations. Avoid extra steam piping by proper arrangement of rooms, thus avoiding losses due to condensation of steam. Keep steam valves and joints well packed. Keep doors of refrigerator room Closed. Do not work in refrigerator more than necessary and do not leave lights on. To Save Labor. Avoid use of milk pumps wherever possible by adopting the gravity-flow system. Extra labor is required for cleaning pumps. y Avoid unnecessary labor by convenient arrangement of equipment and j#oms and through use of labor-saving devices.

a aound basis of investigation and experience. By issuing a monthly letter on timely matters to the milk trade, the dairy division seeks to raise the plane of milk handling efficiency. It makes official information available to those who are able to put it into irntpediate use and should assist in reducing operating costs as well as waste of dairy products.

FEEDING COWS FOR PROFIT

Animals Must Have Liberal Ration at All Seasons—Pastures Must Be Supplemented. If dairy cows are to be fed for profitable production they must receive a’ liberal ration at all seasons. In summer pasture generally is depended upon, but often it must be supplemented by soiling crops or silage, and sometimes by concentrates as well. For winter feeding, the ration usually is composed of hay, silage, and a mixture of grains. In properly balancing the ration the grain mixture is compounded' to fit the roughage with due consideration for cost, bulk, palatability, and physiological effect upon the cow. For best results, cows must be fed individually, salted regularly, and furnished with all the clean water they will drink.

COWS FRESHENING IN SPRING

Usually Desirable. Where Possible for Herd to Secure an Abundance of Good Pasture. Where it is possible for the herd to secure an abundance of good feed on pasture throughout a considerable portion of the year, it is usually desirable to have the cows freshen in the spring in order that one may take advantage of the inexpensive feeds at the Stage of lactation when the largest amount of nutrients in the ration must be supplied. p< .

THE SHADOW

By ANNIE A. CURTIS.

■■ (Copyright. Wl®. by MsClure Neweltaper Syndicate ) Mollie Harrison. with dark curly hair, bewitching brown eyes and known throughout the village of Bend aa “the prettiest girl tn town,” settled herself snugly in the big morris chair with her knitting in her lap. Had it not been that she, too, knew of her beauty, her petsonailty might have been equal to IL But Mollie, with her lovely clothes, had always considered herself a little above the other girls of her community and associated with buLone girl. That girl was Hasel Jaynes, daughter of the only physician in the town. “Oh, horrors I” said Mollie to her mother, looking out the window, "here comes thut Dick Holmes. I sup|>ose he will stay all the afternoon.” Just then Dick rang the bell, and Mollie's mother ushered him Into the pr.rlor where Mollie was sitting. “Why. hello, Dick, I didn’t exited you Cids afternoon.” said Mollie. “I have the afternoon to myself, so I decided 1 would spend it with you.” replied Dick. “I have been very busy; I am knitting a sweater.” “I suppose lt%ls for that ‘fellow from the city.”’ said Dick, laughingly, aa he handed her a large box of chocolates. “Thnnk you. Dick, but I have epten so jnnny sweets today I believe I will keep these until later,” and Mollie placed the box on the piano. Their conversation was pleasant until Dick said, “Now, Mollie, I would like to talk with you on a very serious question. I love you and ask you to be my wife. I think I have sufficient means to make a home for you. Will yog take the question seriously jind decide The matterT’ Before leaving, pkk invited Mr t° ftttSDd n ball w,th nimjtne fonowi AJJ eVFnlnj?. After Dick left that evening. Mollie had a long talk with her mother concerning Dick’s welfare. Mrs. Harrison approved of Dick’s company and him a gentleman in every

“1 am going to test his love for me some day, mother,” said Mollie, haughtily. “Rentember, Mollie, that may mean n broken heart,” said her mother hi a thoughtful tone. . • The next evening, Mollie, ns lighthearted as a bird, dressed for the ball. Her gown of deep pink with its silver trimmings brought out her beauty as never before. Although there were girls from far and near, Mollie was the loveliest. All went well until Mollie refused Dick the “Good Night” waltz and gave her order to the “fellow from the city.” However, Dick in a goodnatured way overlooked this and enjoyed the waltz with Martha Irving, wha.se gentle manner had always pleased him. When Dick left Mollie nt her home thnt evening he naked to spend I’lioay evening at her home, and, to his great surprise, Mollie snld she would be pleased to have him. Little did he realist Mollie’s deceit and what a reception hJ would get. “Mother,” said Mollie, “I can never think enough of Dick to marry' him. My nature calls for n man of different nature.” “Well, dear, if that is the way you feel, tell Dick so and do not keep him in suspense,” replied her mother. “He will find out soon enough.” said Mollie, as she tossed her head pertly. Friday evening, Dick who was as true as his word, entered the yard at Mollie’s home and noticed a light in the parlor. What did he see? Could he believe his own eyes? For there was the shadow of Mollie and a masculine figure with his arms around her, embracing her. “It’s the ‘fellow from the city,’” said Dick, as he turned and walked toward his home. Then Mollie’s suitor took off her masculine dress, and the tears rolled down her cheek as she laughed at her success. “Perhaps he thought your gentleman friend very impolite not to remove his hat, but my hair would have given me away,” said Hazel Jaynes. “Hazel, you’re a trump. I bet he will nevei come to see me again,” said Mollie About a month later Mollie read the announcement of the engagement of Richard Holmes and Martha Irving. But as yet Mollie has no other suitors, because she is known as “tricky,” and she now realizes that her mother was right when she told her she would have to suffer the consequences.

Dialect Was Once Good English.

A dialect is folk-speech, a form of the mother tongue spoken by people of native stock, long settled in the district where It prevails. It is of quite an ancient and respectable descent as the accepted speech. Accident has reduced it to the condition of a local or provincial idiom. It has diverged from the standard literary language, or the latter has diverged from it. ;For dialects, as Is well known, are conservative, and cling to many vocables, Inflections, syntactical usages' and pronunciations which are nearer to the primitive tongue than those which have displaced them in the accepted speech.
