Why is it that boys are allowed
to sit around a house doing moth
ing, while their over worked mother
is struggling against nature and
fate to do about half the work
waiting for her hands? Only the
other day we saw three large, able
bodied boys lounging about the
house, not knowing what to do
with themselves, while their moth
er, tired and pale, was trying to do
all the work for a large family and
company alone. Not boys work
to help about the house? Why
not2 Is there anything about wash
ing dishes that will injure him or
which he cannot learn to do well7-
or about making beds, or sweeping,
or setting the table, or washing, or
ironing, or cooking . plain meal of
yictuals2 On the contrary. there is
much to benefit him in such work
the most important of which is the
idea that it isn't manly to let the
weaker vessel carry all the burden
wheniit is possible for strong young
hands to help. Most boys would
gladly help in the house if they
were asked to do 50 and were taught
how to do the work properly. Many
a smart boy wants to help his tired
mother hnt 6oe-~'t know how be-
yond bringing in the wood and wa
ter and sheveling q path through
the snow. That done, she tells him
to go and play while she plods wea-
rily on. Not boys work! For
shame! 1t is positive harm to a
boys moral character to allow him
to think it right to be idle while
his mother is staggering under her
burdens. Let the boys help, and
those who can't get help "for love
or money" as they often write us,
will see their troubles disappear.

Many farmers adopt the plan OF

Many farmers adopt the plan Of
sowing grass seed alone, without
grain to accompany it. Some
say grass grows better, and the
stand is better. There is one thing
to be taken into consideration not
often noted. There is no sort OF
doubt but that the grass would
grow better alone. But there are
the weeds-they do not think OF
any ones interest or convenience,
but grow right along, whether
wanted or not. If, therefore, a far
mer expects to have grass and moth
ing else, he is just mistaken. 1t is
grain or weeds. The thing to con-
slider is whether it is more profita-
BILE to cut oats or weeds Grass
sown alone is accompanied
by weeds, and they must be moved
at least twice, or they will, in the
battle for life, smother the young
grass. We would have weeds and
wild grass. Crab grass, fox tail
and weeds, will come, whether
wanted or not, and we must consid
er which will injure most, this
worthless crop, or a valuable crop
of oats.-Spirit Of the Farm.

sufferer from kidney trouble (diabetes) for
the last six long and weary years. He

quently suffered from pain in the back,
and frequent making of water, but gave it
no thought until about the time stated,
when the almost constant desire to make
water became uncomfortable. The pain in
the back, and sometimes in the legs, made
me SO lame at times that l could scarcely
walk. I consulted one of the best doctors
in this city, and was under his constant
treatment for one entire year without de-
irving the least benefit. then consulted
from time to time, during the last five or
six years, six other physicians, each one
standing in the front rank of the medical
profession il New Orleans, and though I

excruciating suffering, yetupon the whole

once prescribed his PERUNA, which is not
over three weeks. ago. I am so much
better that if l would not improve any
more, would not for any amount that
had not placed myself under his treat

The swelling and stiffness in my legs has
disappeared, and instead of making water
every fifteen minutes, I now make it once
in three hours during the day, and only
twice in a whole night. 1 am, indeed,
quite well again. Don't hesitate, don't
say hunbug, but get the PERUNA at once
and take it as its printed label directs, or,

Children at the Table.

What an annoyance it is to sit at
liable where children are allowed
to behaye badly. There is no ex-
cuse for it. 1t is the parents fault
every time. Children will behave
in a quiet and pleasant manner if
they are taught to do so from the
first. If very little child must be
present in order that his mother
may come to the table, let him have
a neat piece of white oilcloth under
his plate and cup, and be furnish
ed with a napkin and large bib be-
sides. Every child likes to sit at
the table, but he should be made to
understand from the beginning that
bad behavior inevitably insures his
removal to another room, with the
privilege of finishing his meal alone
afterward when no one is present to
be annoyed. An occasional lesson
of this kind will effectually produce
quiet, obedient and respectful
child, waiting pleasantly for his
turn to he served and talking only
when it 10 proper for him to do SO.
1t is just as easy-and in fact,
great deal easier-to have nice, well
behaved children in the dining
room or anywhere else, if one only
begins right. II mother wants to
destroy her influence over her child,
let her, with flushed and worried
face, exclaim: Johnny does act
ao can't do anvfhinO with him -
He has won the victory, knows it
and will act as best pleases himself.
Had she corrected his first little
transgressions promptly aud firmly
instead of laughing at or ignoring
them, she might as well have made
q pleasant, nice-mannered child Of
him as anything else.-H ousekeeper

HORSE SCRAPS.

Horses need fresh air and plenty
of sunshine.
Make the stables pleasant homes
for horses, instead of prisons.
The best condition powder for a
horse is good wholesome food. Try
it.
The most beautiful ornaments
you can place on your farm are fine
teams.
A general knowledge of the prln-
ciples of horse breeding is valuable
to every farmer.
The true value of a good reliable
family horse is seldom appreciated
until after ne is sold or dead.
The best way to take care of
your horses tails is to tie them up
well before leaving the stable.
Good horses are always in the
market, while common and poor
ones must often be disposed of at
sacrifi &C.
The farmer who passes through
the winter without blankets for his
teams should go without an over
coat himself.
A "feast or a famine" style is NO
way to feed horses. They want
their meals regularly, and the same
quantity each time.
To prevent your colts becoming
wild and touchy treat them kindly.
There is no animal more tractable
than the horse.
Blanket the teams every time
they are obliged to stand still for
while. Carelessness in this may
bring on cold or distemper..
No horse will look we'll and thrive
well if left out in all kinds of bad
weather. 1898 -
Judiciously managed, raising
horses be made no mean source of
revenue on any farm. If it is not
there is something wrong in the
way it is done.
Breeding good horses is one
thing and keeping good horses is
another. One is about as impor-
tant as the other. Both are essen
tial to success as horsemen.
Rough treatment invariably
makes a mean dispositiened horse.
The sooner you impress this truth
upon the minds Of your boys and
hired men the better.
ConYeniencles in the stable mean
saving of labor and time. There is
no better time to arrange these con
VeDiences than during the winter
while other work is slack.
Stand by the men who have
the "nerve" to bring the best class
of stations into your neighborhood.
They are benefactors in a certain
sense of the term and should be
sustained.
: Don't forget that sig weeks or
two months is a long time to keep
the shoes on a horse without re-
setting them. They may stick on
longer, but it is not best for the
feet or horse either.
A large percentage ofth horses
in this county are not as good as
they gave promise of being when
colts. The reason for this need not
be explained. Are you raising any
in this way.
sThe value of your horses three or
four years hence will depend great
ly upon the class of stalliens you
breed to this spring. The few dol
lars extra that the service fee OF a
good horse will cest.will bear good
interest if properly placed.
