First, because they 'realize a milker will MVO them labor if they do the milking therneelnes, or labeer hire if Mhemlieve many hands. Second, the milking machine saves tirne. Third, a firsteclass milking machine milks the same way every day, and the h•eatments wheel the cows receive is not dependent ellen the whim or lemur of a lined man. The three motives, it short, are time saved, labor 'saved, and the good effect on coves, or inereased milk production, In my particular ease, all three of these items were dely considered, and I made up my mind that it would be economy for me tp buy a milking ma- chine that would accomplish for me those three things. At that Dane I was milking only ten cows, but with the intention of increasing my herd, which I have 'since done.

The spring was large enough for 'a water ram to force over 400 tons of water te the kitchen in one year. At the time this incident occurred, a nann complete with fit- tings, and a kitchen sink, might have been installed at a coot of $61 for materials. A cistern might liave been constructed in the approach to the barn, and 'connected with a *ink, for a total cost, includeng labor, of less than $200. Of course, $200 is quite an expense. But does a farmer hesetabe to pur- chase a binder costing $200? The average Corm uses a binder about six werlcing days each year. The average binder lasts about six or seven, sea- sons with our oareless Ways. •TMs cistern:, il built right, would last fifty years. The water be used 365 days every year; You say, "The binder is necessary in order to save labor." Very well,,I say, "Willy should' not the housewife save labor as well?" When a young man es courting, lie seldom asks "her' ef she is willing to carry 1,100 tons of water up a moun- tain 650 miles high for him. • There are many ways of getting water into the kitchen that do not cost $200. Some cost more. A Sink is Necessary. In all the methods given in the fol- lowing discussion, a kitchen gnle is incladed. A kitchen sink must have a drain to take away waste where it will not contaminate tbe surround- ings or water •supply. The sink with a dtain just long enough to stick theough the side ol the house is not a • Another successful ischeme is to mount a tank just above the sink. This tank, with a capacity of from 30 to 50 gallons, is pumped full by the men in the meeting, and will hold enough for ordinary household purposesfor one day. A force pump is usually necessary for this sort ol work. On one farm the pumping es -done by a windmill each morning ae the stock 'tank is being filleel, there being three-way valve installed at the pump. When turned in one direction, the water fills the house tank, and when turned in another direction the water goes to the stock tank. This is merely a reedlike/diet of the gravity tank as sometimes placed in the .attic. Its god feature is that el being inex- pensive.' It hes the disadvantage ol taking up valuable apace in a .small kitchen; also, if the water is used for drinking, it mill get quite warm be- fore the day ie over. An insulating jacket will help to keep the water cool. The gravity tank has many appli- cations. It may be located en a tower, in the attic or upper stoney of the .house or an outbuilding, on a hill, In the bank approach to the barn, or on any other convenient elevation within a reasonable distance of both the sup - Tin and the house. The gravity tank may be filled in numerous ways, de- pending on local eondetions. I have seen these tanks filled by force pump, by hydraulic ram, from a spring lo- eated on a hill above the tank, from the roof of the barn an house, seed from a flowing- well. The possibility of a gravity system ehould be care - fay coneidered before installing an expensive me,thatical water -supply .outfit. . Where it is possible, the gravity system may not be the cheapest in first cost, but if the water is obtained e The Welfare of the Home The Favorite Child—By Frances A. Gray It was the on.e unmarried member of our little group who quite into- cently started the dismission. Some- thing hod been mid about Hortense =eller children and Grace remarked, "Isn't little Jack, Hortense's femorite ehild,?" The Sentimental Mother Was shock- ed. • "My dear," she exclaimed. re- proachfully, "me mother worthy of the name loves one thild mere than an- other! It's impossible for a mother to have a favorite among her chile dren," But the Fraction Mother, as usual, brushed oeicee mere superficialities. "Nonsense!" she retorted, "it ie impos- sible that any woman who has more than one C -n two children shooed not have a favorite, eeen if she never ad - mete the fact to herself. Within MO family the ehildedn will often differ very widely in • natural disposition, temperament -in every possible trait.

But little Frank is exactly like his cattier -very ealm and placid, and easy-going, and I'm really much mere laid of him," 'Mere is semething undeniably true in the point oe view of the Practical Mother. It is posssible that in one oe her children a mother may find a more oongetitel and tosporniv.e natuee than in any of the others. But tho ques- tion is not *whether 000s natural for her to fedl. such a preference, but Whether ehe is justified in letting ie affect lief attitude` toward leer ehildren ed that the feed becomes noteceable to other people and eget to the chiletreet thenteelves. In lenge families, we .feequenbly dde parents who give a certain preetige and power to the eldest, permitting him to dictate to the whole family: Even more frequently we see parents, but especially mothers, who favor the youn.gese child, granting him greeter cansideration though expecting leEs from him than from the others; in short, petting him all through her lifetime.' "Middle chilciren"eare sel- dom the recipients of extra favors unless in 'the ease of an only girl or 511 onles boy in a family of the• oppo- site sex. I recall one little incident of a stepfather of one girl and five boys which. I th,o.ught quite touching.

Then, patteng him on the tho.uider, he added with a smile, "Besides, I was a middle child my- self." Parents should weeteli veey care- fully to avoid partiality, for if they do not, tae moment is sure to come when the .children will discover it. Aes soon as elny ,such partiality b.ecomes evident the favored child is apt to become "spoiled," and the eeects of that ugly quality of jealousy are sown in his sisters and brothere.
