'Still, as she remembeeed enema:el, he did not say that he loved her. She never forgot that. So Daisy went up to him now.

This feature may be provided fax by placing the fencing, in front of the cow, nearer toward the ditch or further away or sometimes the ditch Is run at an angle or an offset at one end, but the former Is by ell means the most satisfactory.

Any farmer, I think, can erect this stall with the use of it good saw, hatchet, jack plane mut square, at a trifling cost, and evben once completed am positive that it will be a great source of pride to the dairyman who has it in his barn. After four years of use, and keeping cows confined from four to flee months, each winter, day and night, am able to say that it is a perfect stall and not only keeps the cows perfectly clean, but have not seen a stall that gives the cow so much freedom for her head and body. We tie with ordinary tie chains, and by the use of a largo ring or a strap around the second bur In front, can be moved from one side of stall to the other. —Geo. E. Scott, Ohio, in Hoard's Dairy- man. Why Wanton Excel in Farm Delis& P. B. Crosby speaks a great truth when he says: Not long ago, while visit - Ing a fziond, the cows wore driven up be , water just at dinner limo. The master atkel who had told the boy to drive the cows up, and the mistress said tbat she had. The cows, she said, had to stay ha the field all day without any water, and She milk was falling off in consequence, and she had told the boy to bring them ' up every day to water at dinner time. I instantly thought of several innovations on this farm inspired by the mistress of it, all of widish wore to the betterment of the dairy, and it (marred to me thee there would be very many better dairies in this country if the better half of the ; farm were to do more managing. A man usually has n.ot the patience to attend to all the little details of dairying, and It is ' just the same little details that make for I success. But a woman has the requisite patience and when she has a mind to manage the dairy it is far better if she 1 does it. I know of one man who taught his wife all she knows a,botit butter mak- ' lag, and she now makes a better grade of butter than ho did, because she has the patienceto attend to all the small iteins t that he in his lordly manner skipped.— ' Dakota Field and Farm. 'What High Grade Means. Fanners are now beginning to see thel difference between the precious and the vile. They are paying $20 and $25 and sometimes even higher prices for a high grade calf, discriminating in favor of those to the extent of about ten dollars' per head. In short, on the present mar- I ket in country places the difference inadel by intelligent feeders between a high grade calf and a common ealf is from, tive to ten dollars. This, then, es the, measure of the value of a good bull. If a Man bas ten cows, he can afford to give,. $100 fora good bull, knowing that ho will pay him from $50 to $100 each ye a r- and be worth when sold fat frau; $7()Is $010.—Wallaoe's Farmer.
