But I do not think It would be fair to spend too much time telling them that I'm thinking of them when they should be given stories and such pleasant things! "I think, though, that they probably know that I think of them a great deal of the time and that I do so hope they like us and want to share our stories with us. Oh, I hope that so much.” “So do I,” said Nancy. “I hope that boys and girls think we’re a nice pair, and that they know what a fine brother you are. "I hope they know that you don’t bully me, and yet you aren’t the kind that is wishy-washy or, as the old say ing goes, ‘tied to your mother’s apj-ou strings.’ You're able to do lots of things uud you’re fine and you teach me how to swim and play tennis and skate, and you don’t call me a cry-baby if once in a very great while I do make a mistake and cry, but you keep me from being a cry-baby, because you treat me like a real girl. And 1 like to show I am.” “You’re a wonder, Nancy,” said Nick. “You’re a real girl and yet you can do all sorts of boy’s stunts, too, and you’re a great little pal, Sister I” So they talked, and as they talked they thought of their friends all over the country. They thought of those who had heard the stories they had heard, who knew, too, the animals of the zoo and of the farm, the birds of the air, the happenings in the land of fairies and gnomes and all the little woodland creatures. They thought of all the secrets they had really shared together, of all the things they all knew. And they hoped that their friends would tell other friends about them, too, for they liked to feel that just as many as possible were going to hear of them, and especially of the stories that Daddy was always telling about the animals and the many crea tures under the sun, “Last year,” said Nancy, “we asked some of our friends —all those who cared about writing to us —to tell us some of their favorite kinds of stories. We asked them to let us know whether they liked animal stories best, fairy stories, stories of birds, stories of animals in the zoo or when they were wild, stories of animals of the barn yard, and just what kinds were their favorites. “Well, our friends wrote to us, and such wonderful letters as we did get! “Weren’t we happy, though! It was great to think we had so many friends and had shared our secrets and all that we were told of the animals and birds with many, many fine boys and girls I” “You bet it was fine,” said Nick. “They were a fine lot, too. Anyone could tell that from their letters,” “But,” laughed Nancy, “there wasn’t one favorite kind of story to choose. Every one, or al most every one, J had different fa- -?OSl vori te s.

DM WORK OF BULL ASSOCIATION Missouri Organization Doubled in Membership in Two Years Be cause of its Usefulness. Two years ago the United States Department of Agriculture and co operating agencies organized a bull association in Webster county, Mo., with 31 members. Now there are twice that many members, due to the suc cess and usefulness of the association. Before the association was formed there were 18 bulls owned by the men who afterwards joined It. Upon the formation of the organization the num ber of bulls was reduced by two thirds, because after the members hud been arranged into blocks, it was found that six bulls were enough. These were much finer animals, how ever. Judging them by their money value, the new ones were three or four times as good as the ones they re placed. since the average investment per bull was $75 before organization, and $276 after. Yet, owing to the smaller number of bulls needed under the co-operative ar rangement, the cost per farmer was but little more. The members had on the average $43.71 invested in their In ferior bulls, while the superior bulls owned by the association cost each member only/ $53.45. This $lO In crease of cost per member meant a S2OO increase of value in the indi vidual bulls from which they now Jersey Bull—A Sire Is “More Than Half the Herd.'* have service—one thing which ac counts for the doubling of the mem bership of the association after run ning two years. The vst'ue of the calf crop will probably show a very much greater Increase. FARMERS MIXING OWN FEEDS Dairymen Dissatisfied With Commer cial Materials Are Turning to Co-operative Buying. “Farmers are almost universally dis satisfied with mixed commercial feeds and are depending more on mixing their own rations.” says Henry Mc- Gough, chairman of the dairy commit tee of the Illinois Agricultural associa tion. He adds: “They are all inter ested in the co-operative buying of mill feeds such as bran, cottonseed i meal and gluten and at times when there is a shortage in roughages in the purchase of alfalfa hay.” Commercial mixed feeds ought to give more satisfactory results because j the manufacturers with their improved ; machinery for mixing, large capital and ability to purchase feeds and grains in large quantities should be able to supply a satisfactory feed at a reasonable price. Oat hulls, weed | seeds, chaff and cheap molasses do j not make a nourishing or satisfactory | feed and their extensive use by some mixers has brought these disparaging 1 remarks from Mr. McGough. SUCCESS IN DAIRY FARMING Carelessness in Breeding and Calf- Raising Is Sure to Result Dis astrously to Herd, - Success in dairy farming depends to a great extent upon the careful rearing of the calves. Carelessness in breeding and calf raising is bound to result disastrously to a herd, or at j least keep it at a standstill, as far as | Improvement is concerned. Without | raising calves from which to replace discarded animals it is almost impos sible to raise the average production of the herd. Purchasing cows for this purpose is a very unsatisfactory meth- ! od. Cows placed on the market are almost certain to be of very ordinary grade, since a good cow whose value as a milk producer is known is not offered for sale at market price. Therefore, the dairy farmer should j take every precaution in handling the ' young calves which are to be placed in the herd. PRODUCTION OF DAIRY COW Animal May Be Considered Profitable if She Yields 6,000 Pounds of Milk Each Year, A cow may be considered profitable If she produces 6,000 pounds of milk or 200 pounds of butterfat per year. A good dairy cow should produce 8.000 pounds or more of milk or 400 pounds or more of butterfat, BEST TYPE OF DAIRY COW Must Be Capable of Producing Large Quantity of Milk and Butterfat • Economically. A dairy cow is one of distinct dairy type and dairy breed capable of pro ducing a large quantity of milk and butterfat economically or at a profit, and to produce calves regularly as good or better than herself. Cause of Ropy Milk, Ropy milk is due to bacteria which get into the milk from outside sources and it is not always easy to locate the source. Sell Products Near Home.

Bark on trees and shrubs corre sponds with the skin on animals. But it isn’t wood, according to one scien tist, and it isn’t formed as wood is formed. It covers the wood, and it Is generally an easy matter to separate the hark from the wood. Hemp and jute and flax are all bark —the outside covering of certain vegetable growths. Bark is composed of three layers of tissue. The Inside layer conducts food to the plant, and under a magnifying glass is seen to he made up of tiny fibers. Then there is tlie “green zone,” as it is called, and this also is fibrous and helps feed the plant. The out side layer is cork, and is really dead. That is, these cork cells develop and die Immediately, so one really sees only a dead tree when lie looks at the bark. The cork of commerce is the bark of a certain kind of tropical tree, but the outer layer of bark of all trees is technically known ns cork, and the little cells going to make it up are called cork.
