THE KIND THAT CURES

There are persons who say, as if it
were something to their credit, 81 do not
like Children To really feel this is to
lack sympathy with and understanding of
the most interesting stage of life. No
where can such quaint terms OF meaning
be found as among children; nowhere
such >pontaniety and navete; but only
child lovers get really into the hearts of
the little folks and they do not compre-
hend the working of the mind though
they are brought to standstill by some
of the childish phases of thought. In our
early childhood it is that heaven lies about
us; and in children there is that which
seems like touch of heaven. 1t is the
divine faith in the mother, the instructive
knowledge of ones friends, the opening OF
heart and mind to the thousand influences
that surround them, that make children
so lovable to those who care for them.
1t is easy to believe that of such is the
kingdom of heaven, and it is barely posi-
bic that those who do not like children
may be trihe uncomfortable in the king
dom of such as they.

II YOU have any hogs try a few acres of
peas, You will be surprised to see how
hogs gain on peas. | only sow two bush
els to the acre as early as the weather will
permit, then turn in as soon as they begin
to get hard, which is about the first of
August. The hogs should have fee ac
cess to water close by them. They will
take care of themselves and be ready for
market before the rush of corn-fed hogs
comes on the market. After the hogs
have taken care of the peas | burn the

The training of child should COM
mcnce at the first year of his or her life;
most of the teaching depends upon the
mother. as she has or should have most
of the care of the children until they
reach school age. which should be six or
eight years. Among the first things to be
learned is self control. No child should
be INDUCED in the habit of going to the
pantry at all times Of the day to get cake,
pie or sweetmeats, or anything only at
meal times. as nothing will make child
more peevish or restless than the custom
of eating or nibbling between meals; even
candy taken between meals will help to
destroy or derange the digestive organs of
either old or young. Wholesome, but
plain, well prepared food three times a
day, plenty of out door exercise or work
by both parents and children; sunlight in
summer or winter is as essential to the
development of a healthy constitution as
is food or drink. Strong tea or coffee de-
stroys the delicate nerves of child near

Mr. J. X. Dodge, who was till lately
Statistican of the Department OF Agrlcul-

defending the accuracy of the wheat crop
estimates and returns for the past eleven
years. In reply to the charge that he
underestimated the last two or three crops,
he says:
II have never known anything like the
organized opposition to crop returns that
has been rife since 1880 This was first
indicated by the refusal of threshers to fill
and return the record books of areas and
bushels harvested, under advice of leaders
of local organizations. The same men
taught persistently the dangerous heresy
that publicity of crop information was
inimical to farmers. The same men start
