Ralph Waldo Emerson once wrote;
"We are not very much to blame for
our marriages. We live amid halluci-
nations" There is a great deal of
wisdom in the Concord seer's re-
mark. Men and women are SO easily
deceived that scoundrels flourish rcadi-
ly on matrimonial spoils. Hardly a
day passes that the news does not con-
tain details Of the late success Of some
heartless fortune-hunter and women.

recently related Is that of fair young
German girl, protegce OF the famous
painter OF Bavaria, Paul Weber The

whom she met in transitu, and who

The recent tragedy at the Sturtevant
House Is q still more striking illustra-

advised marriage. In both the cases
cited the men concerned represented
themselves as financially well-estab-
lisbed. In one case robbery. in the
other murder and suicide resulted from
their falsehoods. A wealthy Chicago
girl eloped few days ago with her
hair-dresscr. She, too, was deserted
In Philadelphia to find her way home
again as best she might.
The countless women whose stories
are but variations of the theme touched
upon above are not so much to blame
as may at first sight appear. 1--WE live
amid Authorizations" Marriage seems
TO a young girl an enchanted land,
where love aud loyalty shall be hers
forever. Alas, how often is the fair
dream destroyed by the bitter irony of
sad experienced Year after year it be-
comes more easy for scoundrels to play
their matrimonial games. The num-
Der Of men of character and wealth
who pass through life without mar

Luxury aud afiluence have always
been detrimental to the formation of
the domestic relationship. Rome illus

proposition. In this country there has
been a steady tendency towards celiba-
cy among men of stability and worth.
Is it strange, then. when opportunities
for successful marriages are COMPARE
tivelyso scarce, thatcrcdulous girls give
ready ear TO the smooth flatterers who
wear pretty whiskcrs and who tell OF
their palaces on Lake Como, of the
alabaster lamps, the slaves and horses

Beware of the man. dear, confiding

KICKING COW S.
A simple and Easy Plan of Managing
Vicious Bovines.

A simple and Easy Plan Of Managing
Vicious BoVines.
When milking . COW she should
stand in u proper position, which
many cows seem determined not to.
The COW is the strongest, and anger
and brutal treatment are the result.
Could the milker apply his strength in
some easy practical manner, so as to
compel the COW to stand in proper
position while being MIXED there
would be no cause for anger on the
part Of the mixer; hence no brutal
treatment would necessarily result.
Some cows kick from natural or nc
quired yiciousness, others because the
operation of milking is painful from
tenderness or otherwise. Hence, in
some cases il is a sort OF surgical ope-
ration, and the patient must be con-
fined to submit. The proper position
for a COW 10 stand in is to "hoist" j. e.. +,
the right hind foot should step back;
or what Is equivalent, the opposite foot
should be advanced. II will be noticed
that a COW in this position rests her
greatest weight on the foot farthest
from the mixer. Such being the case,
she can not then well kick with that
foot. IL seems, then, very plain that
the COW should "hOist;" IL shO will not,
simply propose to compel her to.
For this purpose keep in the stable
n rope about ten feet long. Make q
loop on one end, 20 TO the left side OF
the COW, loop the rope around the hind
leg. drop il down near the dcw-clawr.
pass IL around the stanchiOn (twice IL
necessary, and draw the foot forward
as FAR as necessary. This Is n forced
hoist, and II has the effect. in almost
all cases. to cure or break up the an
noying habit Of many COWS that keep
stepping or changing position, thus
compelling the mixer TO move as often
as the COW does.
The plan here given will be q sure
corrective Of most cases of kickers and
steppers, but when /. Il not, put the
cord around the ham string. passing Il
over the top Of the stanchiOn, and II
necessary, IN extreme eases. draw the
foot of the floor. II this docs not prove
eiiectual. and you desire 10 secure the
COW anyhow, tie the left foot as first di-
rected, then with u stronger rope draw
the other foot back and coniino II out
Of hara $ way. never found but one
case requiring this last treatment The
simple and easy plan Of drawing the
left foot forward. as first described,
will be found OF great value TO those
who choose 10 use II discreetly. A boy
twelve years old has sufficient strength
10 use it. though judgment may be
lacking. Nervous or Wild cows will
struggle some when this correction is
first applied, but will soon become ac-

II allowance is made for the differ
ence In the water contained, IL is seen
that one hundred pounds Of dry matter
Of mangels or sugar beets Is consider
ably more nutritious and valuable than
that Of corn, and still more so rs re-
CARDS oats. Besides the water con-
tanned in the roots and the soluble con-
dition of the dry substance have most
healthful result in aiding In the diges-
tion OF dry food, as hay or grain fed
with the roots, and thus tho roots have
an indirect value, which should be
credited to them in addition TO their
actual feeding value.
For this reason every farmer should
grow as many roots as he can feed to
his stock, and II he can grow more it
will pay him to increase his stock for
the purpose Of consuming his roots
proiitably. Sugar boets or mangcls
are preferable TO any other roots, be-
cause they may be fed to cows without
any injurious effect upon the milk or
butter. These roots may be sown any
time in June, but the earlier the bet

scrapers, the rows, well marked
by the roller Of the drill, are cleaned
and free from weeds. as soon as these
appear. When the young beets are to
be seen plainly, the hand cultiyator,
set to cut eight or ten inches wide, is
run across the rows, thus leaving two
or three plants in bunch at this dan
