A Santa Paper Chase
WE were puzzled about the chil-
dren's Christmas, for all the
little nieces, nephews aud
grandchildren were coming
to the farm, as usual, says a writer in
the Couutry, Gentleman. Year after
year we had had the common Christ-
mas tree presentation of gifts until
this method had quite lost its flavor.
Kesolved upon some substitute for it,
we chanced upon the excellent one of
a Santa Claus paper chase.
Early in the afternoon all the chil-
dren were gathered together, ami, much
to their bewilderment, each was hand-
ed an empty grain sack. They were
then told that Sauta Claus was un-
usually wary that year and that not
ten minutes before lie had been spied
out of doors disappearing with his
pack. He was dressed, as in other
years, in red with white trimmings and
seemed to be dropping bits of red and
greeu paper behind him. Where he
dropped both red and green at the
same time there was surely a gift hid-
den. and that place must not be passed
until the gift had been found and giv-
en to the one whose name was upon it.
The children could scarcely wait to
be bundled ino their outer garments
and set off after ehisive Santy in high
glee. It would be useless to tell the
many strange places to wliich they
were led by bis paper trail and where
gifts were excavated. The hayloft, hol-
low tree trunks, even the mouth of a
muskrat's hole, yielded strange packets.
At length all sacks were well filled,
and Santa Claus was overtaken just
in time to prevent his concealment of
toothsome boxes of homemade tofTee.
grandma's contribution. Dragging San-
ta Claus. who was none other than one
of the uncles in appropriate disguise,
into their midst, the children bounded
in, laughing and rosy cheeked, to inves-
tigate their prizes. As they were do-
ing this they kept bubbling with merri-
ment over their highly successful San-
ta Claus paper chase and exclaiming
that it had been "heaps and heaps and
heaps" more fun than an indoor Christ-
mas tree.

8peak to a Cow as You Would to s
Lady—Personal Equation Gives
Advantage to Hand-Milking.
Too few breeders and dairy farm
ers give the needed recognition tc
the basis on which the dairy Indus
try is founded—the motherhood ot
the animal furuishiug the milk. One
of the most successful of the early
Wisconsin dairymen had for hie
motto, "Speak to a cow as you would
to a lady;" and when he was asked
if he removed his hat when entering
the stable door in the morning, he
replied that he certainly would do sc
if he thought he could get more milk
thereby, writes a contributor to Farm
and Home.
What owner, especially in testing
has not noticed that some one of hla
milkers was able to get more milk
from the cows than were the othei
milkers? It is the personal equa
tion, the regard the cow has for hei
attendant, that gives hand milking
an advantage over the machine; and
the more nearly the cow has adopted
her milker in the place of her calf
the greater will be his success as  
milker. There is usually a vast dif-
ference in results between the mllkei
who gets- a cow into position by push
ing the leg of the stool into her flank
and then kicks her on the shin tc
make her step back, and the one whe
gains the same end with patience and j
gentleness. Who can blame the cow
for wanting to kick the first man?
Aside from the knowledge of how
to feed In general and the study ol
the special wants of the individual
cows, to attain the greatest succes*
a man must win the affection of the
cows. Some will say that this cannot
be done. Hut if the calf and growing
yearling is treated gently and kindly
and then is stabled and handled before
freshening like a cow, there will be nc
such thing as breaking the heifer tc
milk; she will take it as the regulai
thing.

A Gift Suggestion.
An ideal gift for the bachelor is the
"handy" t*ix. containing tags, rubber
bands, labels, thumb tacks, twine—In
fact, almost any article one might need
in dispatching a package or for the
bnndred and one other conveniences to
which these needful articles may be
put One bachelor says be derived
more pleasure from one of these boxes
which was given to him than from al-
most any other gift he could mention.
The boxes come in various sizes, the
number of useful articles contained
varying with the size of the box. A
gift of this character ts well worth
considering where a personaJ gift la
tint desirable.
