A GOOD MOVE.
Audrain's Farmers Should All
Take an Interest-Dairy
Industry
To the Editor of the Ledger.

10 the Editor of the Ledger.
MISSOURI STATE BOARD OF AGRI.
CULTURE, COLUMBIA, Mo-, Aug II.
DEAR SIR: The Missouri State
Board of Agriculture is anxious to
do whatever is possible to develop
the dairy industry, as we'll as
others, of the State. If properly
developed and prosecuted with
skill the industry is as good a
source of revenue to the farmers of
the State as any that can be fol-
lowed.
To be a source of profit, however,
it must be pursued with more skill
than the average farmer now
possess. A better class of dairy
stock must be secured by purchase
or breeding than r now usually
owned; they must be fed and
cared for with more knowledge of
the requirements for milk and but
ter production; the milk and its
products must be handled more
carefully and in accordance with
their delicate natures and the fact
of the existence of our cheese and
butter factories be made known to
the consumers ofthese products.
To this end the Board of Agri-
culture has in contemplation the
holding ola series OF dairy meet
ings this fall at points in the State
where cheese and butter factories
exist and where the people desire
such meetings held.
1t is thought that more success
full and profitable meetings could
be held at points where there is
more or less dairy interests than
where there is none. The plan is
to hold meetings at as many places
as requests shall be received from,
and the funds of the Board of Agrl-
culture will allow. The Board
will arrange to have at these meet
ings a number of experts IN the
various lines of dairying, the
management of dairy stock, manu-
facture of butter and cheese,
management of factories, etc., for
the purpose of imparting to the
dairymen of the community some
knowledge which can be applied
pro6tably to their business. All
the expenses ofthese meetings will
be borne by the Board of Agricul.
ture excepting that it will be ex.
pected Of each community to pro.
vide a hall or place of meeting.
It would be desirable if the
meeting could be held at or nea,
the factories so that that plant
might be used az a means of in
struction.
Will you kindly advise me il
such a meeting would be attended
with interest in your community
Also please state what time
during the fall or early winter
would be most favorable.
Respectfully,
LEVI CHUBBUCK,
Secretary.

How to Treat a Sweetheart.

When he comes to see you, let me
give you few hints as to your treat
ment of him.
First of all my dear. don't let him
get an idea that your one object in life
is to get all you can out of him.
Don't let him believe that you think
so lightly of yourself that whenever he
has an idle moment he can find you
ready and willing to listen to him.
Don't let him think that you are 60
ing out driving with him alone, even
if your mother should be lenient
enough to permit this.
Don't let him think that you are 60
ing to the dance or the frolic with him,
you are going with your brother, or
else you are going to make up party
which will all go together
Don't let him spend his money on
you; when he goes away, he may
bring you box of sweets, a book or
some music; but don't let him feel
that you expect anything but courteous
attention.
Don't let him call you by your first
name, at least not until you are en-
gagged to him, and then only when you
are by yourselves.
- Don't let him put his arm around
you and kiss you; when he put the
pretty ring on your finger it meant
that you were to be his wife soon, he
gained few rights, but not the one of
indiscriminate caressing. When he
placed it there he was right to put
kiss on your lips; it was the seal of
your love; but if you give your kisses
too freely they will prove of little
value. A maiden fair is like beauti-
full, rich, purple plum; it hangs high
up on the tree and is looked at with
envy. He who would get it must
work for it, and all the trying should
be on his side, so that when he gets it
he appreciates it. You know the story
of the man who saw a beautiful plum
on tree, which he very much wanted.
Next to it hung another plum; it SEEM
ed as beautiful, and it was apparently
Just as sweet as the one he wanted.
The seeker for it stood under it mo-
ment, looked at it with longing eyes,
and behold, the plum dropped into his
mouth. OF what value was it then?
1t was looked at and cast aside. Now
take this little story, and make it point
the moral that 1 wish it to.-LadieS'

He Will Fall in Love With Her, Sure.

o, the woman of the future! I can see her
She is coming minus hustle, she is coming
minus stays;
! can see her through the shadows of the
present misty light.
She is coming, she is coming, like an angel of
delight!
The woman of the future! o, how beautiful
As in fancy behold her. in the brightest of
In fancy behold her. and long to hear her
voice
Ringing down the pleasant valleys. 'I am COM
ing, o, rejoice!"
The woman of the future will not trife with
She will find more time to study into sciences
and arts;
She will not be too disdainful, irrevorent and
But with all the highest virtues and attain
ments be endowed.
The woman of the future will be modest in her
looks,
She viii sing the sweetest ballads and peruse
the choicest books;
Her sym1pathies will widen and her goodness
will extend,
Until the poor shall bless her and the weak
shall call her friend.
The woman of the future will not throw her
self away,
For the bathrooms giddy pleasures bringing
wrinkles and decay;
Nor drink the hOneyed nectar of enchantment,
long and deep,
Sowing seeds of dissipation that in anguish she
must reap.
The woman of the future will come to US as
pure
AS the fragrant Easter lilies, and her fame will
rest secure;
When she comes to dwell among us, in her
eyes that light will be
That we have never seen on land, nor not yet
upon the sea.
0, the woman of the future will be generous
and brave,
And her honor she will cherish without blem-
ish to the grave.
In joy wait her coming she will blossom like
Il rose,
And her heart will find lover who is worthy
to propose!

She Enjoyed the Sound.

Anew freak in the matter of feminine
adornment is thus described by Edith
Sessions Upper: l was calling on
pretty girl not long since who is al
ways in search of novelty. Her ex-
plorations sometimes led her to daring
lengths. / noticed that whenever she
moved or walked that there came the
tinkIing of bells from some part of her.
At first l fancied these ornaments
might be on her gown, but a quick
glance showed me 1 was mistaken.
Tinkle, tinkle came that exasperating
Standardization until my woman Curl
osity got the better of me and l asked:
s'Will you kindly tell me if you have
bells on your toes?" She laughed,
gave her head saucy toss and said:
mo, but you are not so far from the
truth" Further inquiries brought out
the fact that this mink had fastened
silver bells to her garters. She en-
loved the sound, she said, and also
the curiosity her fad aroused. 1t was
such fun, She vowed, to see people
studying her, watching her movements
and trying to discover the location OF
the tinkling of the bells. Now can
woman's Ingenuity surpass such tam
talizing devices?

WHY Woman is Mans Best Friend.
First and foremost, woman is mans
pest friend:
Because she is his mother.
Second, because she is his wife.
Because she is patient with him in ill
ness, endures his fretfulness and
mothers him.
Because she will stick to him through
GOOD and evil report, and always be-
iieve in him, if she loves him.
Because without her he would be
.ude, rough and ungodly.
Because she teaches him the value OF
gentle words, of kindly thought and
consideration.
Because she can with him, endure
pain quietly and meet joy gladly.
Because, on her breast, he can shed
tears of repentance, and he is never re-
minded of them afterwards.
Because when he is behaving like a
fretful boy-and we all do, you know;
| at times-with no reason in the world
for it, woman's soft word, touch or
| glance will make him ashamed OF HIM
| self as he ought to be.
Because without her as an incentive
he would grow lazy; there would be
no noble books written, there woulq
be no beautiful pictures painted, there
would be no divine strains of melody.
Because she has made for us a beautl-
ful world in which we should be proud
to live, and contented to die.
Because-and this is the best reason
of alI-when the world had reached al
unenviable state of wiekedness, the
blessed task of bringing it to Saviour
for all mankind was given to a woman
which was Gods way of setting HIS sea
of approval on her who is mother, wife
daunhter and sweetheart, and there
| fore. mans best friend.-Edo0drd W

British Grain Market.

LONDON, Dec. 1.-The Mark Lane Ex-

grain trade, says: English wheats are
firm in London, price average stationary,
but in some of the provencial markets
values have advanced Cd. Foreign
wheats are weak on large arrivals of
Russian and Indian oats. Beans and
peas are firm. There is good inquiry
for fine American corn at 26s. Round
corn is held for PAS Sd. At to-day's
market small business was done in
wheat. Prices were steady. American
-four was in good request and prices were
very firm. Flat corn was Is aud round
corn I'd better.
