We have in some ways found a grain of faith—faith In ourselves and In our intimates. We are changed and the whole world is changed with us. We soai^uin the wings of the dove. We have risen high above the bogs and quagmires. We have cbme from a state between sleep and waking. Our vision la clear. Our mind la alert, appreciative, con siderate and kindly disposed, thoughts fly straight to the never diverted by Ill-humor or a vio lent rush of hot blood. - In some Indescribable manner a bur den has slipped from-, our galled Affection, sentiment and reiiipassion have become parts of our disposition. The control of Impulse has gro^rn perfect through the supremacy of our higher motives. We are enslaved no more by the harpies of passion. The simple opera tion of self-control, the careful and continuous exertion of will-power has set us free. — . . - - - - Whefe formerly we moved about with dour faces we now go with beam ing smiles; where In other days we were met with rebuffs we are given cheery receptions nnd encouragement.

As time passed, the ne cessity for the male equivalent of “mistress” was more and tnore recognized—at first by the use of the word “master." and later,' « by the growing popularity of “Mister.” • , > Then, by one of those strange quirks which frequently occur in the growths of languages, “Mister” caused “Allstress” to / be' corrupted or elided Into “Missis” and finally’, the two of them were short^hOd to. tne rec- ognlzed abBrevlations “Mr.” and “Mrs.” Incidentally, the* femi nine form of “Mister” Is one of the curiosities of the English language, since, as Walker says, “to pronounce It as it Is wfliten In full—‘Mistress’—or even as It has been contracted into ‘Missis’ appears quaint and pedantic.

A pullet five months olIC weighing less than three pounds, loose feathered and weak, is consid ered poof or a cull. The next step is to grade and house the good and medium classes accord ing to size and maturity^ rather than age. This will prevent a molt and will make feeding more efficient.

This is a good practice and the good dairymen should be en couraged to do so. However, before the dairymen Invest In pure breds, tt is wise to clean up the grade herds that the pure breds are going Into. It will be much easier to send a few grade cows to the butcher now than to send the good pure breds later on.
