A Lecture to Married Men.
lAtchison Globe.l

"I have seen several articles lately
on How to Retain the Love of Hus-
band. Nearly all these articles de
clare that women do not take pains to
look pretty after their marriage that
they quit arranging their hair in be
coming style, and are Indifferent con-
cerning their dress. That is true, but
why is it -? The fact is that the wo-
men do not care whether they look
pretty or not, simply because they
think they are married to men Of no
taste. They naturally imagine that a
man who wears dirty cuffs, and who
never wipes his whiskers, and who
does not try to drown the smell OF
whisky on his breath does not care
whether his wife looks pretty or not.
Slouchiness in him breeds slouchiness
in her. Besides she has found out
what pleased him in the days of court
ship does not please him after mar
rage. He married her because she
was pure, accomplished and tasty
dresser, but six months after marriage
he becomes fascinated with a woman
directly the opposite-a variety actress
perhaps, who is bold, ignorant and
loud in her dress and manners. Sup
posing a woman desires to retain thT
love of such a husband, how is she
going to do it? I believe that if
woman thoroughly respects her husband
she will need no hints as to how sh'
can retain his love. She will intuitlvel,
know how to do it without any sugges
tions from the newspapers. Wome1
need no advice as to how they shoul'
conduct themselves towards their hus
bands. 1t is the men who need th
advice. Let them brace up and loo
as gen:eel and act as gallant as the
did during their honeymoon, and thel
wives Will follow their example"

The Richest Section in Am nerica.

The Danyille Soeta8rn Tobacco Jotrna
says the famous bright tobacco belt of
Virginia and North Carolina, is the rich
est section in America. and gives the fol-
lowing reasons why some of the farmers
have been successful and grown rich while
others have become poorer. The journal
says:
There are great many planters who do
not fully appreciate the value OF their
farms, and instead of making and saving
money annually grow poorer. They do
not know that the soil upon which they
walk and over which they plough year
after year, is gold mine, capable OF
yielding the richest returns. Many are
getting poorer when they should accunu-
late handsome fortunes in a few years
The rich qualities are in the ground they
own and why is it that they do not make
these qualities yield their just and leglti
mate returnS!'
1t is improper management. In Gran
willie and Vance counties, and so far as
that is concerned in all the bright produc
ing counties, there are planters to-day wht
are rich-Nho have actually made for
tunes growing bright tobacco, and to-day
are independent How is it that so many
of their ncighhors are poor, and growing
poorer every year. and yet OWN the same
lands-just as rich and just as productive
as their more fortunate CD brothers? me
occrcrop and neglect tohGt is ptahted. NJ
course under the sun is more suicidal thar
for our farmers in the the golden belt t.
plant too much Only a few acres-thes'
well cultivated and we'll cared for and thC
work IS done. Every planter i'll the hrigh
belt has a gold mine if he will only worl
it properly. Go slow, don't plant To-
much. make it the fines. that can be made
and the secret is yours. The man VIII
will follow this course is compelled to sue

The heart Of the Wadesboro MttE
Igenter is as proud as any mans, and
he would be as slow to ask assistance,
in the name Of charity as any other
man. But, under the existing circum-
stances, he does not refuse TO accept
aid, coming in the proper channel, at
the hands of the farmers of North
Carolina, in the defense of whose in
terests he was lately subjected to con-
siderable expense.
Notwithstanding the court adjudged
that Mr.. Stone be taxed with the cost
of the prosecution, yet the cost Of our
defense was heavy, owing to the dis
tance from Wadesboro to Raleigh, and
the fact that we had to carry a num-
Der of gentlemen with us to that city,
when first taken there under arrest, to
be sure of our bond, which we had
reason to apprehend would be exces-
sive, and whose expenses going, COM

Exceptionally stylish are the Spanish
cloak dresses worn upon the promenade,
made of Russian green, garnet, terra
Gotta, or dark blue or brown broad
cloth. These garments fall straight to
the foot of the underskirt and are elab-
orately decorated with costly gimps
and passementerie cords and ornaments,
beaded girdles, and large links of pas
sementerie; ropes and spikes of Melted
silk rival those of silver used on these
clOaks. These ornaments cross the
back at the waist, droop down. just in
front in graceful curve, and fasten
low on the left hip On cloaks to be
worn later are introduced passemen-
teries tufted with sealskin, seal girdles,
cape collars with revers down the front,
and fur bands on the sleeves.
Directoire effects figures largely
among the novel and repeated fancies
of the coming season. Among the i'm
portations is model whose fronts are
in basque style as far back as the cores
under the arms. The revers of velvet
extend in a graduated length from
shoulder to belt; showing between the
revers is a surplice vest, whose soft
folds cross each other over a second
inner vest that is finally shocked, this
vest being closely adjusted to the

HINTS FOR MOTHERS,

When to Feed Him.

How to Take Care of Baby's Hair and
When to Feed Him.
We do not believe that ''heavy hair
takes away strength" Heavy hair
may be burdensome to weak people by
its weight. in the same way that
heavy head-dress might be. Its
growth is only weakening in the same
sense that all growth may be, and the
growth is ordinarily compensated for by
food. In any event there is no way of
retarding the growth of the hair; cut
ting only stimulates it. but it may re-
lieve the sense of weight.
The height of child at birth is On
an average from twenty to twenty-one
inches; at the end of year the aver
age gain is about eight inches, making
twenty-eight or twenty-nine inches.
The gain during the second year will
perhaps average about four inches.
A child of six months should. if well,
have five meals per diem, and the
same arrangement will continue until
it is ten months or more of age. Sup
posing that it wakes at six a. M, and
is fed directly, four-hour intervals will
make the meal hours six and ten a. M,
two, six and ten p. m; no food in the
night between ten p. m. and waking in
the morning. These hours and inter-
walls will vary little, according to the
time of the child's morning waking.
Too frequent feeding is to be avoided.
Very young babies take food much
oftener than FIVE times daily.
We should do nothing for the hair
beyond keeping the head clean. Many
children are extremely slow in getting
hair, but it comes ultimately, and, so
far as we have observed, just as album
dainty as in other children. The growth
and development of children is very
often fitful and uneven, one part grow
ing seemingly at the expense of an
other for the time.
The sucking of thumb is thought

LABOR AND PROFIT.

How to Arrive at the Results of Agricul-
taral Operations.
No crop can be said to be the most
profitable until the matter of cost is
considered. Labor. is the most expen-
sive element Gf it may be called an
element) that enters into the compo-
sition of a crop, and as the climate
affects the growth, the labor can not be
estimated in advance. Sometimes the
blessing of bountiful shower, that
causes the young plants to grow rapidly
and push ahead may also induce weeds
to crowd out the rightful plants and
usurp their place, which demands
greater labor to eradicate them. Ex-
pense, however. is not to be feared if
the final result is expected to be an in
crease of crop, compared to the outlay.
Many crops are lost by too much
economy and a failure to apply labor
and plant food at a time when most
needed. If expensive seed, fertilizers
and labor are necessary to the accom-
plishrnent of the object, they must be
used, for the surest mode of mourning
loss is to deny the crop the advantages
which it claims. The soil provides but
a small portion of the real value of a
crop. If a bushel of corn takes fertiliz-
ing elements from the soil to the value
OF ten cents and sells in the open mar
ket for fifty cents, the remaining forty
cents represents the labor applied to
the product. and the greater the cost of
the labor the higher the price
demanded for the article, and if
the price demanded is not OBJ
tanned the farmer will omit
such crop from his list the next sea-
son, as he can not afford to sell below
the cost. How much of this is profit is
not easily answered. Some farmers
are satisfied to receive out of the gross
sum the interest on capital, cost of
teams and recompense for their own
time. All crops, however, should pay
something more than the cost of pro-
duction, which includes every thing;
but as the profit expected depends
largely on the kind of crop and the de-
mand in market; only such crops should
be grown as are known to be always
readily salable. That labor on the
farm enables the farmer not only to be
repaid for such expense, but also re-
turns profit, can easily be shown by a
comparison of crops that demand much
labor in their production and those that
call for but little. A crop of celery,
for instance, is one that keeps the grow
er busy and with extra help, from the
time the seed is planted until it is final
~ banked up for bleaching. and as COM
pared with corn it gives much larger
profit, though requiring more labor.
The work is concentrated on a small
area. and the shovel, spade and hoe
must be used to great extent. The
crop, therefore, pays profit on labor
as we'll as on the materials of which it
is composed. While it is proper to
economic by using labor-saving i'm
plements, yet where the cost of labor is
one that increases the profit it is unwise
to omit it.-PMladeLphia Record.

FEEDING CHICKENS.
Food That VIII Make Weak Birds Grow
Healthy and Strong.

healthy ana strong.
While feeding is at any period of life
most important matter, writes Ste
phen Beale, there can be no question
that it is OF special Importance during
the earlier stages. Therefore, if it is
desired that the birds should grow
healthy and strong. and develop in the
directions desired, they must be fed ac-
cordingly. No animal which has been
neglected during the period of its
growth can ever attain either the size
or the stamina of those more favored.
For this reason it is essential that the
feeding be well attended to, and that
the food be of the right kind and quail
ity. The poultry breeder should study
the qualities of the different foods, and
feed accordingly. In raising chickens
it is needful at the outset to remember
that they must be fed according to the
object in view. For instance. if they
are reared to be killed at an early age,
they should be fed in different manner
than if they are to be reared as layers
or breeders. The food suitable in the
one case would be fatal to success in
the other. The food which would 90
to produce bone and muscle void be
unsuitable for table chickens.
During the first few days of their
lives the best food we know is eggs
boiled hard, chopped fine and mixed
with an equal amount of bread crumbs,
the whole being moistened with milk,
but not sloppy. This may be given en-
tirely for three or four days, when
there may be alternated and then sub
stituted other foods, such as oaA-
meal mixed with barley meal,
or other similar preparations. These
must be continued if it is intended to
rear the birds to adulthood, but if for
killing. there may be alternated with
these for the first month, boiled rice
and little Indian meal, both of which
are fiesh-fOrmers more than any thing
else. For the latter. the food should
be, until the time of putting up for fat
tening, barley and Indian meal, in
which a little meat or suet may be
mixed, and wheat or buckwheat; but for
the chickens which are intended to have
q longer period OF life, it should be
barley meal, wheat meal, buck*heat
meal. and any of the ordinary cereals
For the first month, the birds will be
unable to eat whole grain. and cracked
buckwheat is the best to be given. but |
after that time they will be able to take
all the smaller sized grains. Chickens
should be fed every two hours the first
week. every three hours for the next
month. and after that time four times q |
day until they are fully grown They
should never be fed to repletion. but |
always given just as much as they will
eat readily. Food should not be left |
as it soon sours, and sour food
