What is a Model Wife,

A model wife Is the woman in
whom the heart of her husband
doth safely trust,
She is the woman who looks
after his household, aDd makes her
hospitality a delight to him, and
not q burden.
Who has learned that a soft
answer will turn away wrath.
Who keeps her sweetest smiles
and most loving words for her
husband.
Who Is his con6dant in sorrow
or in joy, and does not feel the ne
cessity of explaining her private
affairs to the neighborhood.
Who respects the rights of hus-
band and children, and in return
has due regard paid to her.
Who knows that the strongest
argument is her womanliness and
so she cultiyates 1t.
Who is sympathetic in Joy, or 10
grief, and who fluids work for her
hands to do.
Who makes friends and keeps
them.
Who is not made bitter by
trouble, but who strengthens and
sweetens under 1t.
Who tries to conceal the faults
of her husband rather than blazOn
them forth to an uninlerested
public.
The woman whose life book has
love written on every page.
Who makes home for a man
a home in house and In heart.
A home that he IS sure OF, home
that Is full of love presided over by
one whose price is above rubies.
She is the model wife.-LGdies'

WOMANS PROGRESS.
Girls and JeWeIry.

Fashion makes certain wise laws
for the wearing of jewelry. Peo'
pie who break these laws and as
sumo too much are at once show
ing ignorance and lack of that fine
taste which fashion dictates. You
may have rings innumerable-as
many as the famous being who
adorned her fingers and toes with
them, but that is no reason why
you need look like heather god
dess, or as If you we're anxious to
let all the world See at one time
just how many golden circlets you
possessed. Yoa, who have the
beauty of youth, do not need to
wear jewelry-a little ring If you
will, a modest brooch, and perhaps
a bangle on your wrist, bot not an
arm covered with them. There is
nothing more vulgar than to have
thirteen bangles as has one girl l
know, who triumphantly points TO
them and tells of their being given
each by different admirer. Every
time she announces this fact she
falls thirteen degrees lower in the
mind of the listener, and yet, al
though she is quick-wltted and a
nice girl, she doesn't seem to CON-
prehend that in exacting tribute
from her men friends, she Is, in a
way, selling her smiles. Don't
wear a ring on your forefnger, and
don't believe because few
actresses aud women who think be-
ing odd Is being individual, wear
rings on their thumbs, that it Is n
proper thing for yOa to dO.-Lddtes'

A Model Piu Shed,

An Austrian stOCk grower has
erected a pig shed which cannot
easily be beaten for cheapness and
practical usefulness. 1t is a model,
not in the sense of being complete
regardless OF expense, but in being
the best arrangement Of easily
available materials. In the middle
of the pig paddock the shed
stands, and 1t provides o shelter
from any wind as we'll as the shade
of a roof. A number of fencing
posts are put In, and a wall plate
Is fixed upon them. Rafters of the
local bulloke saplings support a
root of bark, and IL this arrange
ment we have a cheap roof which
is within the reach of any selector.
A wall three feet six inches high,
made of hardwood boards, is run
along and across the shed under
the roof. This forms at" shaped
wall shelter, which protects from
any wind, the pigs choosing the
lee side according to the way of
the wind. Such "mOdels" are
wanted instead of expensive cree.
tons which cannot be imita ted by
the practical farmer.

FEED vs.. BREED.

1t may be writ down as an es-
tablished law in the rearing Of
live stock, that "more depends
upon the feed than upon the breed"
We have been watching the So
called "full blOods" and "thorough.
breus" and comparing the result is
with the scrubs or native stock for
thirty years, and the conclusion is,
it all depends upon the teed. Give
the native the same feed and at.
tentlOn that the best of dairymen
give to the jersey or Holstine and
you get about as good milk
and butter and as much of it as
they get from the "thorough bred"
Feed will tell just as surely and
more qui ckly than breed. Treat
the Jersey or Holstine as many
farmers handle the native and you
get no more than the native gives
you.
Considering the difference in
price between the improved stock
and the common native, tits more
economical and more advisable to
take up a good, tar looking native,
and by feeding it and carrying for
it try to develOpe it into a
profitable COW. Take the native
and the extra money that a Jersey
would cost lay out in warm
shelter, brush, mill feed, &C., for
her and the native will become, in
short time, as good COW as the
other.
The above remarks is not theory
or hearsay. We have seen 1t
demonstrated and have, to some
extent, Iesltu IL.
Plenty of good feed is the touch.
stoue of success in all stock culture.
1t Is the first and largest'necessitJ
Brau, shorts, mill feed, oil cake,
roots, hay, fodder, green pssturage
these are the things that make
butter, milk, beef, pork, VEAL
There is as good blood and as great
capacity in the common native
stock of our old fields as eyer came
from Holland, Jersey, Durham, OF
elsewhere.
OF course we do not mean to
include the scrub. All native
stock is not scrubs. The farmer
must discriminate. The scrubs
must be weeded out. 1t is cheaper
to do this than to pay some enc
big prices for breeding up. Breed
up for yourself. Select tho oesI
you can get, and breed from that.
But never forget that good feed Is
the chief thing. Feed we'll, and
your stock of whatever kind Will
show it. Feed is more than b lood
or breed.

A WOman's Tears.

The mother of the late Empress
Augusta was the heroic wife of the

Napoleon on the 10th of October,
