This led to her re-entry for the test just completed. Profit in the careful treatment of May Rilma'is shown by the following figures complled by Mr. Cassatt: May Rillna furnished 19,639,5 pounds of milk during 365 days of the test. The up-to-date Firm, Clinton Phone 190. N. W. TREWAY1THA, W. JENKINS The Guernsey cow, May Rilma, owned by Captain Edward B. Cas - sett, proprietor of the famous.Cbes- terbrook farm at Berwyn, Pe., has given in 885 days 19,435.5 pounds of milk, which contained 1,059.80 pounds of butter fat. This cow was bred end raised at the farm, and her Year's work has been carefully su- pervised under the regulations f0r... the advanced register 'of Guernsey cattle conducted by the American Guernsey Cattle club. While offi- cially supervised by the representa- tives of the Pennsylvania expert- ment atafton, her work has also been checked by six similar institu- tions in other states and by a rep resentative of the dairy division of the United States department of agriculture. This record surpasses- that of any cow of all the dairy breeds is the world. This was sold at 6 cents a pound, so the cow brought in $1,178.87. The daily feed of the cow was eights een popnds of mixedgrain ration, three pounds of beet pulp, three pounds of molasses, thirty pounds of ensilage and ten pounds of hay. This sixty-four pounds of feed per day cost $.0995, a total of $255.81 for 805 days. During ninety-seven days of the test May Rllma was fed some carrots, the cost being altogether $15.52. So the cost of feeding the cow. was $270.S3. Equal to. Emergencies.: The girl was, an orphan, and yet the young man proposed to her: She was an orphan on one side only.

CARE OF RUNTY PIGS. Animals May Do Fairly Well if Caro. fully Looked After. The hog man, no matter how careful be may be, always finds a few .runty pigs on his hands when the time comes for weaning the litters in the early summer, says the Kansas Farmer. The number will depend to some extent upon the condition of the breeding herd, but perhaps more largely upon the care the sows and pigs have re- ceived during the suckling period. Every good hog mat dislikes to see these runty pigs running around among the other pigs, and even though they are few in number they always seem more prominent than the good pigs of the litters. The pig which is runty at weaning time will likely remain runty through the season unless he is given some ex- tra care and attention. These pigs should by all means be culled out from the rest of the bunch and placed in a pasture or lot by themselves. They can then be given a little better feed and care and may possibly de- velop into fairly decent pigs. The rest of the bunch will look' better at any rate, and this is no small matter to the breeder of pure bred hogs who oftentimes wishes to show visitors his stock. Giving the runts a little better chance will push them along so that they oftentimes can be disposed of on the market early and thus be out of the way. Hog Feature Question. Experiments at the Iowa station 'In. dicate that rye furnishes very good hog pasture, but that the vetch is not worth much. For some reason the hogs do not seem to take to it. Oats and Canada field peas furnish very good hog pasture, but everything con- sidered, rape alone Is by tar the best of all the annual hog pasture plants. Iowa experiments indicate conclusive- ly that It' 1e 'not worth while to' use commas, sorghum or soy beans as hog pasture when such a good plant as rape is available. Rape seeded, in the spring and properly pastured will furnish good forage for hogs during June, July, August, September, Octo- ber and part of November. { re Feet. CI-IAFED,PLACES.

Good judgment will have to be used , in handling the sows' after the pigs get to be seven or eight weeks oid. and it to a sensible thing to cut down after that time on the milk making part of the ration. In other words, feed corn a little heavier and cut down the con- centrates• This will tend to automate -fealty wean the pigs and incidentally it will keep the sows to better condi tion than if they are forced along with a heavy milk' making ration.

Ing in the poultry business are true, but some people will not believe there are large profits in the pro.. duction of eggs and fowls for m a r k.et because they themselves have not realized their expectations. It takes patience and good management to place the business on a paying basis, but it can be done, even by boys and girls. All need experience with fowls to make them understand the importance of simple details and system in the care of any flock, but much can be learned from the advice of those who have tried the business. Always remember, however, that if you do your part faithfully there will be good financial returns, whereas if things are run in a careless or baphazard way the enter. prise will fail. In buying fowls for the flock do not be satisfied with anything but pure blooded chickens. Of course they cost a little more than mongrel stock, but they' are enough better from every point of view to justify the added ex- pense, especially in laying the founda- tion for a permanent dock. It is safe enough to keep any breed that you like so long as the fowls are from good strains and full blooded. Nearly every one has some preference either of size or color or other quail - ties, and there are none of the stand- ard breeds but which have much to recommend them. But once you have adopted a particular kind, stick to it Do not change, at least until you have given It several years' trial. ilsually the fault, 1f there is any, is in care or handling, not in the fowls' themselves When people are starting in n small ' way there ought to be at least two in- ubators and 'hens enough to keep •hem running. For example, if twenty hens will produce n dozen eggs per day an incubator bolding about sixty will be filled in five days. This is as old as eggs can be safely used for hatching. There will be a surplus of eggs to sell or to nee in the household. Let the in. cubators do the hatching and when a hen quits laying and starts sitting take her away from the nests and lock her up In a coop.' Th1s will cure herbroodl• ness, and she will get to work again. It is also best to have brooder space enough to care for the chicks.
