WEST VIRGINIA FREEMAN.
THE FARM.

A good COW should have a large
muzzle. large paunch, large milk
veins and large udder.
South American cattle raisers are
importing pure bred cattle from
England and the United States to
improve their herds. The march
of improvement in this direction
now extends all over the American
continent
A severe cold can be soonest
cured by remaining within doors,
in warm room and near the fire,
until all signs of it have disap-
peared.
HoGs.-The Putnam Democrat
says:
The epidemic among the hogs in
this vicinity is rapidly spreading,
and large number have died.
CAuTIoN.-Nearly all the farmers
in the districts traversed by the re-
cent Iowa cyclone have guarded
against future loss of life, in case
of such disasters, by digging pits
near their houses for places of re-
treat.

A WORD FOR THE W. G. T. u
The Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union, of Grafton, has since
its organization accomplished q
great deal Of good. Some of the
best talent hitherto slumbering
has been quickened, and rendered
useful. A number have been in
duced to sign the temperance
pledge. The sick and destitute
have been hunted up, and several
poor children clothed and started to
Sabbath School, and also to the
week day school.
A work so benevolent deserves
the encouragement of all right
thinking people.-Grgto'o Sentinel.

giyeth thee to possess it." And again,
the cry comes from the same high author
ity: " Cursed be he that removeth his
neighbor' landmark, and all the people
shall say, Amen" job also places at the

''taketh away his neighbours landmarks"
In later times the Greeks and Romans

IRELAND AND THE LAND THERE.
Ireland. just now the centre of all eyes.
has twenty millions of what is called ag-
ricultural land, but one-half of it is pas
ture land and enc quarter of it land only
1T for the plow and the hoe. If the pro-
duct of an acre Of this land as is stated,
is required to support each person in the
country, the Irish poor people at least
may well ask for some improved methods
OF rental, cultivation and means of Ey-
ing, if, like the two or three millions who
have left the land already, Two or three
millions more are not to become exiles.
.t would be 4 great error. however, to
say that if the people and the govern
ment we're composed Of reasonable peo-
pie and under wise administration. there
would not be room enough and support
Tor al the inhabitants. In the midst of
the famine in Ireland in 1917, putting in
practice one Of the strangest contrasts in
human life, the people saw food exports
and food from farms not only produced
In the same country. but ia 1he same
county. The doctrine Of Nautilus is only
true where men fail to improve oppoltu-
n,tse- wlthm their reach. Il is a ret?ec-
zion upon the wisdom of the Almighty
to suppose that children are born of vir-
tuous parents with no room for them IN
the world. At least this cannot be said
of native born Americans, who, to their
shame, have redHes'. tho average parent

dozen in a family, to one or two. and With

HINTS FOR SUMMER.

Don't drink. Ice water is bad; cold
beer is worse; lemonades with ely" in
! them are worse still, soda is seldom free
| from impurities and often rank poison:
! the fancy mixed summer drinks are. as a
rule, vile drugs sugar coated; good wills
key is abonlinable in dog days, and bad
| whlSkey is worse. Pure water is whole
| some in moderate quantities and proper
temperature; but flooding the stomach
with Toe water in hot weather provokes
thirst, impairs digestion, nultiplies sun
| strokes and is ceaseless source of dis
cont ort. Stimulating and chilling drinks
IN hot weather are equally the foe of
health and happiness.
Keep cool. Ii You can't keep cool,
| keep as cool as you can. One-half or
| more of the suffering from heat by those
who are not necessarily exposed to the
| rays of the sun is caused by themselves.
They thou9htlt ssly run to catch car,
or i'll one OF the other thousand ways of
| getting UP sweat-heat, they throw
themselves into perspiration in the
morning. and then keep up q fever-hcat
AL the time by Sighting the heat they
! fooiishly provoked in starting out for the
day.
To keep cool II hot weather is nearly
always possible with sense and prudence

don't be afraid to hoist an umbrella
when the sun is hot enough to make the
head uncomfortable; keep quiet; keep
Your temper; eat moderately; drink tenn
pe-ately; seek shady places and sunny
friends, and even the hottest day can be
worried through with toierab!e comfort
Don't ilct. III temper sweats linen
and multipies hot weather suffering
more than all the necessary labor that is
performed. The ill-tcmpered man is al
ways hot i'll summer, and he makes
everybody hot about him. He is fretful
over the heat OF his chamber in the
morning, he frets over his breakfast; lie
| fretS when his wife asks him to stop at
| the grocer's on his way down town: he
fretS when his children come for their
morning caress; he frets as he gets on to
a crowded car; he frets over the cigarette
| puiler on the back platform; he frets over
his business: he makes everybody fretful
! in his employ, and returns fletfully to
dinner with his appetite fretted away,
ana finally frets himself to bed only to
fret over mosquitoes at night and flies in
the morning. The frctful man lives in a
perpetual dog-day, and he is punished
every hour of the day and night for his
folly When he is at nome he frets to
get away; when he is away he frets over
! the loss of home comforts, and his sum-
mcr is simply one continuous season of
Tuning. sweating and fretting. The
confirmed frettcr is a hopeless case. He
is never happy except when he is miser-
able and he extracts ali of the misery
! out of the heated term that he is capable
! of enjoying. Don't fret.

and they must be endured. Indeed, they
must come to make the earth beautiful
