The greates4 a dangers, I think, lies
In the belief Of the possibility Of . Pla-
tonic friendship with . married man,
writes lady in Ladies' Home Journal.
A number Of letters have come to me
written by unhappy girls who, having
been thrown, either through business or
in a social way, with fascinating men.
have yielded to the attraction, believed
in the possibility Of such q friendship.
only to discover that what Was talked
Of a. friendship was in reality love.
Nothing excuses you, my dear girl, for
loving a man whose heart, mind and
body belong to another woman. 1t is
true that too often these undesirable
friendships begin in the most innocent
way, but the very minute that you hnd
that this man is becoming . necessity
to your happiness you must stop, and
at once. The old story is told by the
man, the oft-told story Of an unsympa-
thctic wife-a wife that is not compan-
ionable, wife given over to domestic
affairs-with, as . natural sequence,
the oft-told story that you bring little
life into his life, that you make little
happiness, and that you are the only
woman who ever thoroughly under
stood him. This Is such an old story,
and yet Il Is one to which too many
women listen. My dear girl. look the
matter straight in the face. No matter
how bad a mans wife may be. no mat
ter how he may long for companion
ship. you are doing IN absolute wrong
by even listening to his story.

RAISING CALVES.

It II What Every Wide-Awske Farmer
Should do.
Farmers who sell or ship their milk
usually raise few calves, thinking it is
cheaper to buy cows than it is to raise
them Butare we as apt to get as gooA
cows? If farmer sells cows It is his
poorest ones he wants to dispose of.
Whereas. if we raise our own cows we
raise the calves from our best COWS,
and by using = blooded boil we stand
fair chance of improving our daily
herd. As to feeding calves, it is not
necessary to feed them much milk We
have good success in feeding . Dor
ridge made of cOrnmeal, ground buck
wheat, wheat bran and liIseed meal,
nlixed and proportioned rs follows:
Four quarts corn meal, four quarts
wheat bran, two quarts ground buck
wheat, and about two handouts of lin.
seed meal We begin using about one
lleaping tablespoonful for each mess;
make the porridge with water, add y
pinch of salt and one quart of sweet
milk. Increase the amount of grain rs
the calf grows older. Care should be
taken not to get the calves too fat
When raising calves for cows they
should be fed just enough to keep
them growing and in good flesh. but
not too fat. Calves kept fat while
growing are not as apt to make as
good cows rs those that are just
kept in . good growing condition.-N.

AR,zoMA's ROAD RUNNER.
Bird With Tlreiess Legs and . Dead
Hatred ~ Rattleanakes

BIRD With Tlreiess I.exs and . Deadly
Hatred of Rattlesnakes.
''Thereis bird down in my coun-
try" said Maj. Ransom. Of Arizona. to
a Denver reporter. (which we call tho
road runner. 1t is an interesting
fellow. this bird, with long legs that
never give out and which devour dis.
tancc with an appetite that never
seems appcased. Generally two road
runners e together-for company's
sake, no doubt. They seem to be
great gossipers and do vast sight Of
talking to each other. They will chose
ahead Of your horse rs you ride along
the trail. and keep up the stride for
miles and miles and hours and hours
with a steady side-to-side motion much
like the gait Of a packing horse. Why
they run along ahead of one in this in
sane fashion can only be guessed at.
1t would seem to be for fun and excr.
else.
''They are gifted with a great deal Of
sagacious malevolence toward tho
rattlesnakcs, with which crawling
brood the runner has deadly feud.
suppose the rattlesnakc pounces upon
the road runners eggs and makes
omelets OF them; or gobbles up their
young on n spring chicken theory.
Whatever the cause Of hate, however.
the road runner is the deadly enemy Of
the rattlesnakc. They wreak ven
geance on it in this way: They cspy .
a rattlesnake asleep in the sun.
Mum is the countersign with your
road runner; he never says a word. lie
and his fellow road runner 60 about in
discreet silence and collect tho dried,
dead joints Of the fat cactus. which
abOunds in the southwestern deserts.
They build corral about the doing
serpent with them.
These pieces of cactus bristlc with
thorns as sharp and keen as needles.
When they have their snake corraled
the two road runners arouse it with
yells and the Tapping of their little
jimcrow wings. They rcvile It and
scold it and appear to apply all kinds Of
hard cbithets to it. The snake gets
frightened and its rattles buzz. But
they don't come near il. They stand at
safe distance and rail at it. At last
the snake tries to crawl away, but can't
cross the cactus fence which the road
runners have built. The spines prick
the snake and it draws back. Mean
while the road runners keep up their
derisivc racket. With each prick Of the
cactus the rattlcsnake's wrath in
crcases. At last, in desperate, BRAIN
less fury it begins to bite itself. It's.
poison is as deadly TO itself as to every
body else. and in a short time It dies.
Great. then. is the mad triumph Of the
road runners. which taunt it until its
last gasp aud cxult over the corpse like
savages. After the snake is surely dead
they walk of with airs of coclsney sat
isfaction. and, as II were, arm in arm"

Some years ago in western New York
the Sunday school children in small
village were having an all-day picnic,
with speeches and recitations inter-
spersed. A gentleman, addressing the
children, said during his speech: Now,
children, in the adjoining building, the
ladies are preparing a fine dinner for
MS. They have everything good to eat;
among other things there are cookies
with holes in them. Now. when you
eat the cookies, what are you going to
do with the holes?"
A little fellow who sat right in front
of the writer jumped 70 his feet and
called out: Mister, mister. I know;

TESTING THE EGGS.

leo Much Attention Cannot l3e Paid to
This Operation.
This is a very important process.
Contrary to what some people expect,
al eggs will not hatch. The percent
age of q hatch is the number Of chick
Ems from the fertile eggs. not from the
number Of eggs placed in the machine.
1t occurs frequently that eggs are fer

Eggs should be tested ON the fourth or
fifth day and again on the tenth day.
Leghorn. Minorca and Houdan eggs
can be tested satisfactorily 70 or IS
hours after placing them in the incu-
batOr, but Brahma and other dark
shelled eggs cannot be satisfactorily
tested until the seventh day unless one
is an expert and a very good egR-tester
is used. A strong germ, says = writer,
will show small black spot with red
veins radiating in all directions. Added
eggs will show cloudy detached black
spots floating in the egg without any
veins attached. A red circular line
will be found in stale eggs The latter
must be removed or foul Odors will be
the result An unfertile egg is per-
fectly clear and will be nearly as good
as fresh-laid eggs for cooking purposes.
On the tenth or tweefth day the chick
begins to move and the eggs become
more and more clOuded. On the eight
centh day the egg is entirely opaque.
except the small space called the air
cell The latter varies in size accord
ing to the larger or smaller amount OF
moisture used during incubation. by
setting eggs under hen at the same
time as eggs are set in incubators, and
comparing them every few days, an ex-
cellent idea can be obtained Of the
proper size OF this air-celL-Farmer.

important Invention In weaving.

One of those inventions which will
Inevitably displace large amount Of
labor because Of its increased economy
has recently found its way into textile
manufacturing. 1t is loom which au-
tomatically feeds bobbins into the
shuttle. This work hitherto has been
one of the duties Of the weaver. Now
Eve persons can take care OF eighty OF
these looms. whereas. at present, one
person looks after six. The new
process will run for an hour or two
after every one has left the factory at
night and through the noon hour. 1t
is said that it will save one-half the Ia
Dor cost in weaving and one-fourth the
whole labor cost of manufacturing.
