Little Ethel hi id had a fortnight in 
the country for the first time in her life. 
“Did you see them milk the cow, Ethel?” 
asked her mamma on her return. “No, 
mamma.” was the reply, “but I saw them 
unmilk her.”—The Sphere. 
“You have a very hard looking lot of 
prisoners to dispose of this morning, have¬ 
n’t you?” remarked the fashionable social 
worker to the judge of the police court. 
“Oh. you are looking at the wrong lot,” 
replied that worthy; “those are the law¬ 
yers.”—Town Topics. 
“Some fellows have no hearts,” said a 
tramp to liis chum, as they were starting 
out from Enniscorthy. “I’ve been telling 
that man I’m so dead broke that I have 
to sleep outdoors.” “Didn’t that catch 
him?” said the chum. “No, he told me he 
was doin' the same thing and had to pay 
the doctor for telling him to do it.”—

A FOX I) parent noticed his youngest, a 
hoy. in very animated conference with a 
number of other boys and a young woman 
and that evening inquired of the boy 
what all the excitement was about. “That 
was my teacher.” said the boy. “and we 
were trying to explain the rules of foot¬ 
ball to her. She couldn’t understand a 
blessed thing. I don’t see how she ever 
got to be a school teacher.”—New York 
Globe. 
Eliza .Taxe met her mistress just be¬ 
fore Christmas with the ominous an¬ 
nouncement: “Missus. I’se gotter leave 
yer.” “Why, Liza, what’s the matter? 
Aren’t you satisfied with your place?” 
“Yessum, I’se satisfied all right. ’Tain’t 
dat. mum.” “Well, is it that you want 
more wages?” “Naw’m. ’tain’t dat. 
neither.” “Are you sick?” “Naw’m. I 
ain’t sick, but I’ll tell you a fac’. Yon 
ricollec’ you let me git off to a funeral 
’bout a mont’ back? Well’m, Chris’mis

Ax old gentleman was interviewing ap¬ 
plicants for the post of gardener. The 
one before him did not look promising, 
but the old gentleman thought he would 
give him a fair chance. “How long were 
yon in your Lst place?” he asked. 
Off his guard the applicant replied: 
“A month, sir.” “Eh! That’s not 
long. And the place before that?” 
“Three months, sir.” the applicant replied 
boldly. “That’s better now. and the time 
before that?” The applicant drew him¬ 
self up proudly as lie said: “There 
weren’t no time before that. sir. T got off 
with a $10 fine.”—Los Angeles Times. 
“Wjtat’s that?” cried a tourist to 
whom a resident of Straddle Ridge, Ar¬ 
kansas, was showing the scenery of the 
region. “Aw, just Tag Bald or his broth¬ 
er-in-law taking a shot at me from over 
across the holler,” was the nonchalant 
reply. “Them fellers have lieeu cutting 
that caper off and on for six weeks or 
such a matter.” “Great grief! What 
do you do about it?” “Nuth’n in per- 
tickler. They’re the poorest shots on the 
Ridge and never come nigher to me than 
10 feet or so. It sorter amuses me to see 
grown men doing such childish tricks and 
never ’eomplishing anything at it.”—

A MACHINE candidate got elected to 
the Senate. Six months went by. Then 
.Tohn Citizen met one morning the boss 
who had put the machine candidate in. 
“Senator Swank,” sneered John Citizen, 
“promised us great things if we’d elect 
I ’m, but what’s he done? I ask you— 
what’s he done?” “What’s be done?" 
yelled the boss. “Why, he’s got himself 
made special counsel for the railroad 
tri. \ the light trust and the food trust; 
he’s bought himself a town house and a 
country seat, and lie’s started in collect¬ 
ing old masters. That’s what he’s done, 
darn it—and all in six months, too!”—

It happened that a substantial Scotch 
farmer of middle age died, leaving a 
buxom widow. The funeral was well at¬ 
tended by his neighbors, among whom 
was a farmer who had been a suitor of 
the widow, and had been rejected by her 
in favor of the deceased. After the 
funeral the company returned to the 
house, as usual, for refreshments, etc. 
But they all left within a reasonable 
time except one, who, in a somewhat du¬ 
bious tone, addressed the widow. “‘Now, 
Jean,” said he. “ye’ll remember the old 
time, and if you care I am quite ready.” 
“Oh. George,, ye’re ower late! Randy 
MaePherson asked me before we buried , 
poor John.”—Credit Lost.

Are feeding 
mistakes 
stealing dairy profits ? 
7 Vhy Larro brings a 
new day in dairying 
Authorities know 
that mistakes in feed¬ 
ing cause enormous 
dairy lo sses. Yet 
many dairymen still 
fail to understand 
this fact. 
Experts 6ay mix¬ 
ing ingredients at 
home seldom pro¬ 
duce an efficient balanced ration. 
Facilities are lacking. Errors and 
carelessness creep in. Essential 
ingredients are often not avail¬ 
able. Quality varies. Formulae 
are untried and of doubtful 
value. Even many ready prepared 
rations are not reliable. 
You see the proof of these feed¬ 
ing mistakes in poor herds and 
low milk yields. Cows are en¬ 
feebled. Disease results. Offspring 
are puny. Profit in dairying is 
becoming utterly impossible. 
oAn unequalled feed 
Years ago we determined to re¬ 
lieve dairymen of feeding guess¬ 
work, labor and trouble. Also to 
reduce the high cost of poor feed¬ 
ing. To do this, our scientific and 
feeding men spent thousands of 
dollars and months of time in 
investigation and feeding tests. 
Countless formulae and ingredi¬ 
ents were studied and tried. Our 
whole aim was to produce an 
unequalled feed. 
The result was a wonderful 
blend of certified ingredients 
which we called Larro. Tests 
proved that cows keenly relished 
it. Their appetite was sharpened 
and digestion improved. Eyes 
looked brighter and stamina was 
increased. Moreover, the milk 
flow immediately became more 
abundant and the heavy milking 
period was lengthened. Cows 
in pink of condition. 
Years of use on thou¬ 
sands of dairy farms 
now prove the value 
of this ration beyond 
question. So today 
a group of picked 
men are guarding 
and maintaining this 
blend. They are 
working to give thousands of 
dairymen what our experts at 
first gave a few. 
Certified ingredients 
To aid these men we provided 
labor-saving appliances which 
cut down the cost. Also scientific 
laboratories and instruments of 
precision. Absolutely no varia¬ 
tion in blend is permitted. Only 
ingredients of certified quality 
are used. 
This explains why we can le¬ 
gally guarantee Larro to produce 
“More milk or your money back.” 
We have thus guaranteed mil¬ 
lions of bags. You can prove Larro 
for yourself at our risk. 
Take coupon to your dealer 
Learn now why Larro marks a 
new day in feeds and feeding. 
Why it is everywhere copied 
and imitated. It is sold at the 
lowest price possible. But Larro 
must not be compared with old- 
time, inefficient feeds, either pre¬ 
pared or home mixed. Larro is 
extremely efficient. No ration is 
nearly so economical measured 
by results. 
Taking the coupon to your 
dealer entitles you to a two-bag
