posing that • mixed farming is followed
an answer is desired to the query; which
pays best, sheep, poultry,- fruit, rows,
steers or. grain? It mass be found after
a year's record that the farm is best
dapted for dairying. Then will naterally
folli,w the investigation, which cow
pays best? This phase of the question
has not yet appealed to all owners. of
dairy herds, but is in truth at the
very foundation of profitable dairying.
Every farmer is interested in enterng
out all unprofitable features of his bus-
iness, .he wants to produce plenty of
good milk at the least cost, and to this
end dairy records are indespensable.
Why? Simply because they enable the
watchful owner to detect those cows that
give the most milk and fat in propor-
tion to the feed consumed. Which cows
will respond •to a little extra grain?
Which cow can I least afford to sell?
Are any in my herd lint paying? 'P7311 it

A SAD CASE.
Young Woman Charged With
Neglect of Children.
Belleville, despatch - Frances Beaver -
stock, the Tyendinaga woman who was
arrested last week, appeared in the Po-
lice Court this morning before Magis-
trate Bedford, of Deseronto. There were
two charges, involving con'ceal'ment of
her child's birth and its secret burial.
Mr. Anderson, Crown Attorney, ap-
pear•ecl. for the Crown, and Mr. Milne, K.
C., for the accused. Mr. W. A. Gunton
and Mr. Wrightmyer were present on
behalf of the Ohildren's Aid Society.
Phoebe Beaverstock, mother of the ac-
cused, was the first witness. She said
Frances was about 26 years of age.
There were three daughters and three
sons in the family. They all worked
around among the neighbors since they
were big enough. Prances never had
any young men Ball at the house, as far
as witness knew. 14 er daughter had had
four children, only one of which is liv-
ing.
To Mr. l:likle the witness said the ac-
cused waS quite intelligent, but could
not behave herself. Witness did not
know who the farther of any of the chil-
dren was.

ent of the Society for Neglected Chil-
dren, and Mr. 11. Wrightmyer, local
aunt of the society, told of going to the
Beaverstock home to, investigate the
ease of the little son of the prisoner. On
the way to the city the accused said she
was the mother of four children, only
one of which was living. The last child
was born ,n June last. On Sunday morn-
ing, near the latter part of the month.
She claimed it was dead when born. She
buries the child right after the birth.
The reason she went to the bash, the
prisoner said, wes because she was
afraid of her mother. as the latter ill-
treated her. the told the officers that
if taken away years ago she Would have
been a different girl. It was brought
out in the evidence that her father :had
served a term in penitentiary on a
charge of incest with the prisoner some
ten ,years ago.

er's little son, as well as her fourteen-
year.old sister, to the custody of the

er, and, throwing his arms around her
neck, had to be forced away. Even hab-
itual attendants at court, lawyers and
reporters, were moved to tears.
