Christmas KEEP MILK RECORDS Records of the dairy herd at Min- nesota University farm indicate that it is not necessary to weigh or test the milk more often than one day each month in order to secure a very accurate record of what the cow is doing. It is generally believed, how- ever, that, while a monthly butter-fat test is sufficient, it is good practice |: on the farm to weigh and record the milk at each milking. This is very casily done if milk scales and record sheets are conveniently arranged. This method not only furnishes an accurate record of each cow’s work, but it also enables the dairyman to tell at once if anything is wrong with any cow in the herd. If a cow | gives two or three pounds of milk less than usual, it is noted instantly, | and an effort can be made to remedy the trouble. There may be several causes for a smaller milk flow, as poor pasture, exposure to cold or rain, or rough treatment. At any rate, no -matter what the cause may be, if the 1milk is weighed regularly, a drop in the milk flow can be remedied before it has become permanent. It is urged, therefore, that the milk be weighed at each milking, that a .sample for the butter-fat test be tak- en about the same time each month, and that this sample be a composite sample from four consecu- tive milkings.

How Husband Foract Dinner Engager ment and Gave a False Excuse. Dinner had been ready and waiting 20 minutes. The wife of the tardy guest was very much embarrassed. Just to think that her husband was so | rude as to be late at a dinner engage- ment and keep all the guests wait- ing! After a while the belated one arrived, redfaced and perspiring. “So sorry to keep you waiting,” he said. fice with an out-of-town customer. Just couldu’t get away.” The excuse sounded all right and was accepted by the hostess, but it was a myth. The truth was: Preoccupied he had gone home from the office at the usual time and found the house locked, much to his surprise. Where in thc mischief were his wife and children? he wondered. Why didn't they tell him they were going away? He went all around the house and tried the doors, but they were locked. Then he found a piece of iron in the backyard and broke open a window and crowded in. He crowded out through the win- dow for the evening paper and crowd- ed back. He read the paper, and still the wife and children didn’t return. At 6:03 o’clock he remembered the dinner engagement. While he dressed and rode 20 blocks .the guests waited. But others have made the same blunder. “But 1 was detained at the of- | THE CUB SCOOP reporter [5C00P, TM RUNNING 4"Lopat.

Fishing a well-known river in Nor- way this June, one of the tenants of the fishing lodge opposite ours caught a fish of 29 pounds in the morning and lost another, his spinning line being broken by the rush of a heavy fish. Fishing with prawn the afternoon of the same day, the same angler, in the same pgol, got into & good fish at his first cast. After a long fight the fish was gaffed and landed. Then was re- vealed a strange state of things. The prawn tackle had never touched the fish; in fact the hooks were a foot or more from it. They had caught in the cast which had been lost that morn- ing, and was now twisted into knots and tangles, no doubt by the salmon endeavoring to get rid of the treble Norsk cast and hooks. The line had been got rid of. As the prawn swung down the pool it had grappled the lost cast still attached to ‘the salmon, and fish (33 pounds), cast, and tackle were recovered. We watched the incident from the road, and crossing the river handled the recovered cast. Many maintain that salmon once hooked and played for any length of time leave the pool—W. H., in London Feld. ' ALL ARE TIPPED IN BOHEMIA. ‘Even the Street Car Conductor Gets ! Tips—Pay for Privilege of Serving. In the city of Prague a tip to the tramway conductor is considered de rigueur. The orthodox tip consists of | but two heller, or two-tenths of a ! penny, yet as “strap hanging” is al- lowed for in considering the carrying capacity of:the car the conductors { should have got a goodly pocketful of the minimum coin by each day’'s end. Tipping, it was aseertained in an- other of Bohemia’'s larger towns, is so fully recognized that the head waiter | at a eafe pays a rent for his post, sup- plies all the journals for the coffee {room and looks after the other wait- ers, and then makes an income larger than that of a university professor— i"" out of his tips. After sunper at one of the delight- i ful open air cafes of the capital it was found that approximately one should give a half krone, ten cents, to the head waiter who took payment, four cents to the under waiter who brought the viands, and a cent to the boy who brought—and even brought again as one glass was finished—the beer. i The Prolific Queen Bee. The queen bee is a great antagon- | ist of race suicide. She strives to i perpetuate the race with an ardor and an understanding that is worthy of the highest commendation. Some have been known to lay 4,000 eggs a day for a year, the number lessening after that to 1,200 and going forward at that ratio for another two years. ‘With 50,000 bees to the colony that gingle praiseworthy queen laid enough eggs to establish 46 colonies. Bee keepers figures on a net income of ( three dollars a colony each year. If !the owners of the bee under discus- i sion profited from her labors to that extent the gain was $148. It is not i to be presumed that any such results ! were obtained. To argue so much in ! favor of one bee would be to place ‘;be]iel‘ in the statement that a man : with ten acres of ground and two rab- { bits can become a millionaire in three t years selling rabbit skins to glove { manufacturers.—Technical World. | { i Sure to Please. { “A birthday present for your sonm, i eh? i i And They Were All Happy.

Some young idlers had been enjoy- Ing the fun of hailing passing shop- pirls with rather doubtful compli- ments, and from some of the answers returned it was evident that not all of those addressed were taking things kindly.

Butterflies were the design, and she had made them look natural that—so Mr. Featherton said—one would think they were ac- tually alive. But Mrs. Featherton's | little son was more critfeal. He Te- | garded the decorative inseets long and earnestly, opened his lips to #peak, and then, with remarkable self. control for one 8o young, closed them again without speaking. “Well, Frankie,” said his mother at last, “tell me what you think. of my butterfiiés.” “They are very nice, mother;” re | plied he seriously, “but the next time | | you embroider butterflies, would: yeu: | mind putting the antennae on the oth er end?” Hopeless Predicament.
