Experience is 'teaching that low feeding is wasteful and a generous ration profitable. To try to make ones grain supply !min out by reducing the ration is like withholding water- from- a thirsty plant. The Record of Performance work with dairy cows has taught useful lessonei on gauging the ration. The desire to make records at any cost has taught that a good cow een be trusted to judge of the qoantity of a well balanced ration that may be eaten with profit.

Ona was very slender with tapering fingers and small knuckles. The other -was larger, with large knuckles. I often wondered what caused such rnis-mates. One day we were chatting- on the, beach, when a child strolled by, biting' and sucking her small hand. "Come here, dear," cailed my newly -found friend. The Child shuffled toward vs, and my friend said, "Please !don't abuse those pretty little hands like that. Go and play with your sand shovel and bucket instead." After the child had left us, miss Billie; as, her friends called her, told ine about her hands. "When I was a ,child I had the dreadful habit of sucking and biting my hands. I kept it up for years. Sometimes they would become red and chapped. My right one was- usually the vietim, I lived with a busy aunt, who dicl not seem, to notice the habit, You see the result," and slm laid her hands on her lap, "They, do ncq.look as if they were even acquainted." I know a woman who is now a grandmother, who has bitten her nails since she was a small eirinth, hends are hideous.Besides she looks rather foolish now, with her white hair, gnawing at her nails when she bo. comes excited or very mecls interested in something. I live next door to a young girl who would be really beautiful if it were not for the fact that, when she wee a child; she had acquired tam habit of wrinkling her Sorehead. Now, as a girl of nineteen, she has deep wrinkles Which greatly lima' the otherwise beau- tiful face. "north forty," he has learned inueli of - the habits of animal's, of the growing of crops, of the velim of land teateity and of the irnpoetance of farm ee- cOunts. Why then should the farm school board bring in a facto). that Ofttinies lessens the value of the very thing the foam pmente want instilled into \their children's Minds, by petting them in charge of teachers whose training and idese are entirely foreign: to the conditions aroend them.
