MILK AND HUMAN KINDNESS.
The Yield of a Cow May Depend Much
Upon Her Preference for
the Milker.
On the strength of Information de
rived from the staff of the County Tech
nical college at, Chelmsford, England, it
was affirmed the other day that the
amount of milk which a cow yields may
depend very much on her preference for
the persons with whom she has to deal,
says a London paper. Let her be milked
by a favorite milker, then both quan
tity and quality are all that can *•><.
sired. On the other hand, if man or
maid be in disfavor, the cow yields less
milk and of poorer quality. There ex
ists a logical standard of quality—one
which demands that the milk shall con- ,
tain three per cent, of fat and 8.5 per
cent, of the solids, and many a time, it
would seem, the farmer is subjected to
vexatious prosecutions for no better
cause than that-the cow does notlike the
milker. Was the reason aesthetic or
moral? If the former, then one could
understand a song once popular—
“Where are you going to, my pretty
maid?” “I’m going a-milking, sir, she
said.” And when the gay Lothario who
put the query became mercenary and
asked, “What is your fortune, my pretty
maid?” he received for answer: “My
face is my fortune, sir, she said.” If it
were really the pretty milkmaid’s face
that pleased her cows it might indeed
be a fortune. Alas! the explanation is
much simpler and less sentimental.
Mr. Dymond, F. I. C.,and Mr. Bull, of
the Essex Technical laboratories, made
a rigorous experiment on the farm of
David Hodge, of Widford Hall, near
Chelmsford, taking four cows, and em
ploying four milkers, named respective
ly Mrs. K., Fred, Joe and Jack—which
need not be taken as the actual names—
and scrupulously registering the re
sults. Omitting the other two, in whose
cases the differences were less marked,
a curve was made of the yields procured
by Fred and Jack, and it forms an almost
perfectly regular zigzag for each cow,
rising to the highest or falling to the
lowest precisely as it referred to one or
other of the milkers. Whereas the
favorite was honored with 18.46 pounds
j of milk on one morning, his comrade on
} the following day got only 15.17 pounds.
And this yield was uniform, but not
with ail the animals. With cow No. 1 a
; certain difference was shown, No. 2 was
[ much more capricious. No. 3 was compar
atively and No. 4 absolutely indifferent.
In other words, the yield of milk de
1 pended on the temper of the cow and
j apparently on the temper of the milker.
When the susceptible animal was
j treated with any kind of harshness two
or three pounds were retained in the
udder, and it is precisely these last few
pounds to be drawn that are richest in
! fat and solids. Hence the largest sup
| plies were also the best in quality. If
| the milking were always by the same
j person the results would most probably
! be fairly constant, but it is quite con
ceivable that an animal might actually
j show diminished freedom of yield if
I habitually treated roughly. There is
| clearly a bovine psychology; there be
| cows, like No. 2, highly susceptible to
gentle usage, and others, like No. 4, pos
sessing a philosophic indifference to
Fred and Jack alike. Happy No. 4. It
is to the farmer’s interest, as Mr. Dy
| mond points out, to study these psculiar
ities of temperament. In these days even
cows have nerves.
FAMILY RECORD BIBLES.
They Are Still in D*rattud, Hut Aot
Sold to tlie Same Extent as
Formerly.
“Do we still sell the old-fashioned fam
ily Bible, with pages in it for the record
of births, deaths and marriages? Oh,
yes,” said the bookseller, according to
a New York exchange, “but not so many
of them as we once did.
“There are more Bibles sold now, tak
ing them all together, than ever before,
and the Bible is issued now in an almost
endless variety of forms and styles;
but th< demand for it in this particular
form ow I hould say, not more than
or thi : wi ice was.
it we ese record Bibles to
day m a do ies, ranging in price
from five uu to ?20. The blank rec
ord pages, these often illuminated, are
bound in between the two Testaments.
"In some of these Bibles there Is a
blank presentation page upon which
may be written the name of the person
to whom the Bible is presented, with
the name of the giver; and in some of
them is contained a blank marriage cer
l* X5- _J J „ - . * ~ n ,<n Kn.m ^ in
UUt UtV , UUU ili OU1MV v/ V wwuuu »»*
with the pages for the record of births,
deaths and marriages, pages for the rec
ord of temperance pledges.
“These Bibles are more likely to be
| bought nowadays by country people, and
it might be by people of the German race,,
and by Irish Protestants; all likely to be
substantial people of comfortable
means; conservative people who cling
still to time-honored customs.
"So, while the old-time family record
Bible, with pages for the record of
births, deaths and marriages, has gone
somewhat out of fashion, and is not sold
to the extent to which it once was, yet
it is still sold, and the demand for it is
still considerable.’’

“ Your booklet came to my
home like a message of healtn
when I had suffered with
headache, backache and bear
ing-down pains. I was weak,
nervous and hysterical and
had not consulted any doctor,
thinking it would pass away
In time, but instead 1 found
that the pains increased and
were more frequent. I de
cided to try Wine of Cardui
and in a short time was much
improved. It seemed to act like a charm.
I kept up the treatment and the result
was most satisfactory. Words fail to ex
press my gratitude for the suffering that
is now saved me* I am in fine health,
physically and mentally. I can only say
‘thank you’, but there is much more In
my heart for you.”
EARING-DOWN pains are the
worst that women know. If
you are suffering from this trou
ble you need not be uncertain
about it. The pains in the abdomen
and back that feel as if heavy weights
were pulling down on the nerves of the
stomach are “bearing-down pains”.
They may not be particularly severe at
present but they are growing worse.
That headache which nearly drives you
distracted now is caused by the terrible
nervous tension. The nerves
soon begin to give way under
the strain. You perhaps jump
at any unusual disturbance,
or laugh or weep, hysteri
cally, at no apparent cause. ;
That is what Miss Fay Lee,
North Seventh Street,
Kansas City, Kansas, was
coming to when she rescued f
herself by taking Wine of
Cardui. The Wine made
her a strong, healthy woman
again, as it has made a million other I
women strong and healthy. By indue- I
ing regular menstruation the entire I
system is relieved of the terrible wasting I
drains. The ligaments which hold the I
womb in place are strengthened by a 1
healthy flow and that organ i3 returned
to its normal position. Returning
health is the result. This is what
Wine of Cardui has done for thousands
of the best women in America.
If you need advice write The Ladies’
Advisory Department, The Chatta
nooga Medicine Company, Chattanooga,
Tenn., describing all your symptoms
freely, and a letter of advice will be
sent you. Secure a $1.00 bottle of Wine
of Cardui from your druggist to-day.
